Ge Ning didn't know how to answer, so she hid in a corner, covering her head with her hands.

Ge Ning's father stepped forward, reached out and pulled her up, his movements rough: "Tell me, why?"

"Master, Ningning is young and doesn't understand things. Don't upset yourself. Your health is the most important thing in the world," Ge Ning's mother said, coming upstairs to persuade him.

"Look what she's done!"

"What did I do wrong! I just like him!" Ge Ning needed an outlet at this moment, so he shouted it out to his parents.

Who do you like?

"I just like Mo Jingchen," Ge Ning cried, her delicate face streaked with tears.

She herself couldn't tell whether her tears were from regret or resentment.

"Mo Jingchen! Don't you know he has a wife? Or are you going to be someone's mistress?" Ge Ning's father was furious and pointed at her, yelling at her.

Then she realized something: "So, you hired someone to deliberately smear his wife? Or do you think he'll divorce his wife because of the rumors and then marry you?"

"Why can't I? What do I lack compared to her? Why can't I be the young mistress of the Mo family while she can!"

"He's absolutely insane! Absolutely irrational!"

He pointed at his daughter, his anger reaching its peak, but his raised hand ultimately did not land on her face.

If a child is not taught properly, it is the father's fault; there is a cause and an effect.

Previously, they had been busy with their business and neglected their daughter's upbringing. Upon discovering this, they immediately corrected their behavior.

Over the years, although she has been raised to be a well-bred lady, she can never shake off those old ideas.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I don't know how things turned out this way. All I wanted was to get rid of that annoying woman and make Mo Jingchen aware of my existence!"

Ge Ning cried, cried miserably, and knelt at her father's feet. Her once happy family was now facing a disaster they could not bear because of her impulsiveness!

But...did she regret it? If she could do it all over again, Ge Ning would still choose to do the same thing. The only difference would be that she would be much more careful and meticulous, planning everything thoroughly so that no one would discover her scheme.

"Are you confused? If Mo Jingchen liked you, would he have waited for you to go to such lengths?"

If he liked you, he would have been with you long ago!

Ge Ning's father, as a man, saw through everything. But sadly, his daughter still doesn't understand.

"He just hadn't realized how good I was to him before."

"Do you think he'll see your good qualities now that you're like this? With all the negative news about you flying around, do you think he'll even give you a second glance?"

His father's words hit the nail on the head, and Ge Ning wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Her father, don't always try to discourage her. There's nothing wrong with liking Mo Jingchen," Ge Ning's mother said, feeling distressed seeing her daughter like this.

"You're confused. Liking Mo Jingchen is the biggest mistake she's ever made."

I'll go to the Mo Corporation later to see if I can get Mr. Mo's forgiveness and get through this crisis.

His voice was pale as he spoke, conveying a sense of helplessness. His chances of success were slim.

The driver dropped him off at the bottom of the Mo Group office building. He straightened his clothes and went inside.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" the receptionist asked politely.

"Hello, I am the owner of Ge's Group. I would like to meet your CEO, Mr. Mo."

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"No, could you please ask for me? I'm willing to wait as long as it takes."

The receptionist made an internal call, consulted with Assistant Zhou, and replied, "The president is very busy today and probably won't have time to see you."

What about tomorrow?

The receptionist shook her head and gave a weak smile.

"Thanks."

Even though I knew this would be the outcome, I still couldn't help feeling sad.

More and more people are requesting to terminate their contracts, and former partners are leaving one after another. Instead of going back to the company, he went home.

"How did it go? What did Mo Jingchen say?" Ge Ning's mother ran over to her husband as he returned, asking with concern.

Ge Ning's father shook his head, looking dejected, no longer the influential figure he once was.

“From now on… you’re going to suffer again. The Ge family might go bankrupt soon.” Her father looked troubled, but ultimately chose to tell them the truth.

"He... he actually... went so far as to wipe them all out?" Ge Ning looked up at his father, who didn't seem to be lying. Recalling the conversation he'd overheard outside his father's study that morning, he confirmed it was indeed true.

"This outcome... was predictable. You offended his beloved wife, and his actions were already showing leniency."

Ge Ning's hatred for An Yiruo intensified at this moment, and he felt like he was grinding his teeth to pieces.

Why does she deserve such favor? Why is it that because of her... my entire Ge family is going to be ruined!

…………

In recent days, netizens have learned that An Yiruo was framed, and at the same time, Mo's family released the original photos for comparison, thus debunking the rumors.

At the same time, Mo sent a lawyer's letter to Ge Ning... stating that he would definitely pursue his legal responsibility.

The online sentiment is shifting in a positive direction. Almost all negative news about An Yiruo has disappeared.

Instead, it's about how outstanding this young mistress of the Mo family is!

She excelled academically from a young age, worked part-time while studying, and possessed exceptional talent in jewelry design, becoming a student of Professor Faber...

"An'an, you've suffered these past few days," Gu Wanting said with heartache, holding An Yiruo's hand.

Today, she and the old lady of the Mo family came to Xinghai Bay to visit An Yiruo.

"It's alright, it's all in the past. Those weren't true rumors either. I'm innocent, so I'll clear my name."

She said this because she didn't want her elders to worry. In reality, she wasn't some saintly figure, nor was she so magnanimous as to forgive and forget!

"I never expected that you would suffer such an injustice so soon after your identity was revealed. My Mo family will definitely settle this score with the Ge family," said Old Madam Mo.

"I heard that a few days ago, Ge Ning's father went to the Mo family to ask Jing Chen for help, but Jing Chen did not see him."

Gu Wanting continued to hold An Yiruo's hand, telling her what she had heard.

“Jingchen did the right thing. People like that don’t deserve pity.”

An Yiruo sat there without saying a word. She hoped in her heart that Ge Ning would be punished, preferably in this very life!

After the three of them sat for a while, Madam Mo suggested taking An Yiruo out for a stroll, to get a spa treatment, relax, and wash away her bad luck.

The three women hit it off immediately, packed up, and set off for the largest spa in City A. Madam Mo was naturally a high-level VIP there.

The three walked in, and the shop assistants all came over to greet them respectfully and warmly.

A sharp-eyed waiter noticed two people behind the old lady: one was Mo Zhiyuan's wife, and the other was Mo Jingchen's wife.
