Nian Xiaomu had not known Zheng Yan for long. From the few times that they interacted, she could feel that Zheng Yan was a causal and bold person.
But now, when they mentioned the Mo Family, her expression changed.
It was awe.
Then it became apprehension.
There was even fear.
It was as if they had offended the Mo Family, it was like offending Hades.
Nian Xiaomu was taken aback.
Zheng Yan walked in front of her and held her by her shoulders. “Nian Xiaomu, I am not joking. Think about it. Did you come into contact with anyone from the Mo Family? Did you do anything to offend them?”
“… I really don’t remember!” Nian Xiaomu pushed Zheng Yan’s hand away and replied with a frown.
“Even if I did offend them unknowingly, I can just clear up the misunderstanding.”
“The Mo Family is not as simple as you think!” Zheng Yan glanced at her and turned to walk to the window.
The moon was bright outside.
The moon was hanging on top of the branches and all that was left was a crescent.
The moonlight spilled down on Zheng Yan and there was a gentle glow.
She hesitated for a few seconds before turning around.
She crossed her arms nervously.
“The Mo Family is like their surname. They have been around for centuries, what everyone sees now is just the tip of the iceberg. Legend has it that the ancestors of the Mo Family were part of the royal family. They were unwilling to participate in the fight to the throne and hid themselves. That’s how they survived so many centuries. In the Mo Family, all the direct descendants in the family are born with a gift. It is an extraordinary ability that was given to them at birth.”
Compared to a normal family, the Mo Family has too many secrets hidden from the outside world.
Furthermore, people in the Mo Family have always been very low key.
The understanding that the outside world has of the Mo Family is that they have a huge family business.
Obviously, Zheng Yan knew more.
“The Mo Family is not just an ordinary family. They have influences that you cannot imagine…” Zheng Yan was halfway through her sentence when she stopped to look at Guizi.
The assistant understood and took Guizi out of the study room.
Zheng Yan walked to Yu Yuehan and Nian Xiaomu.
She lowered her voice.
“I overheard this when I was passing my dad’s office. He told my mum that the Zheng Family and the Zheng Corporation are here to guard the Mo Family. As long as the head of the Mo Family gives an order, the entire Zheng Family has to return to them!”
Zheng Yan pressed her lips together and her voice sounded apprehensive.
She always knew that the Mo Family had helped the Zheng Family to attain success.
She never expected that the Zheng Family was part of the Mo Family…
And their job was to protect the Mo Family!
“I don’t know how many families are like the Zheng Family, meant to protect Mo Family. I only know that anyone who offends the Mo Family does not have a good ending. If this really concerns the Mo Family, I advise you guys to not act rashly!”
Zheng Yan spoke her part and left quickly.
In the study room, the atmosphere was depressing.
Zheng Yan’s words were beyond Nian Xiaomu’s understanding.
She sat down on a chair, crossed her legs and started mumbling, “They have gifts that are hidden from the world. The way she describes them makes me scared. The main point is that they seem to want me dead…”
Nian Xiaomu raised her head and blinked.
“Seriously. The way Zheng Yan described the Mo Family makes me want to go there for a visit. I wonder if the people from the Mo Family look the same as us? What kind of “gifts” is she referring to? Does my photographic memory count?”
