But the next second, Mo Zhu's expression changed. The kind father's demeanor vanished, and the Mo Zhu in front of him had a twisted expression and a face full of anger, looking like a vicious stepfather!

"Smack!"

Caught off guard, a hard slap landed on Mo Yanyan's face.

Covering her slapped cheek, Mo Yan Yan was stunned. The burning pain on her face and the pent-up grievances burst forth in a piercing scream: "Ah! Dad, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? What right do you have to hit me?"

“I’m your father. Let me tell you, Mo Yan Yan, I can hit you whenever I want. You tell me yourself, what right do you have to come here and question me? Haven’t you and your mother ruined our family enough? I’ve told you so many times not to mess with Mo Jing Jing, but you just won’t listen! You do whatever you shouldn’t do!”

"Let me tell you, I'm broke now. The Mo family is in this state all because of you. You must take responsibility. From today onwards, you'll support me!"

You'll support me!

Hearing these words from Mo Zhu, Mo Jingjing was completely stunned.

Has the world changed?

The taxi was only so big, and the parents, who were caught up in their emotions, didn't hold back their words. Everything they said was overheard by the driver, who flashed a look of disdain and contempt in his eyes.

They even doubted whether the two had enough money to pay for a taxi.

"Gentlemen, you've been in the car for a while now and still haven't said where you're going? Hurry up, don't keep me from getting any business!"

"To a hotel... no, driver, could you please take me to a hotel with better privacy?" Mo Yan Yan initially wanted to save some money, but then changed her mind.

There are currently many haters online clamoring to settle scores with her, and some of Mo Jingjing's fans are also saying they want to dox her and have prepared rotten eggs. Those cheap hotels generally have very poor privacy, so she can't go there yet.

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately took them to a relatively high-end hotel.

Fortunately, after entering the entertainment industry, she listened to Song Wen's advice and opened a bank account, where she usually deposited her money, thus avoiding being affected by the bankruptcy of the Mo Group.

...

Mo Jingjing's Villa.

Mo Jingjing looked at the caring text message from the director, thought for a moment, and finally replied with a very official response.

At first, she had a good impression of the director, but now her attitude is rather indifferent.

She wasn't in the mood to look at the news about her and Mo Yanyan on Weibo right now; most of her thoughts were on Li Shufen.

Perhaps it was because her soul had resided in this body for so long that she now felt a special kind of affection when facing Li Shufen—a long-lost sense of kinship.

Even more miraculously, when she was facing Li Shufen, she truly felt as if she were seeing her mother. This feeling made her involuntarily attached to Li Shufen and want to be closer to her.

Li Shufen felt the same way about her long-lost daughter, Mo Jingjing. She couldn't bear to be separated from her, even for just an hour. In Li Shufen's eyes, she owed her daughter far too much, to the point that she now wished she could make up for all the maternal love that Mo Jingjing had missed.

The first way Li Shufen thought of to make amends was to buy, buy, buy. She wanted to buy all the most beautiful dresses, the most eye-catching high heels, and the most gorgeous jewelry in the world and give them to Mo Jingjing.

Unfortunately, due to her health condition, Zhu Shimao kept a close watch on her and wouldn't let her go out.

Mo Jingjing's current fame and media exposure are not suitable for shopping.

With internet technology so advanced these days, if she wants to buy something for her daughter, how could she not have money to spend?

As a result, over the next few days, Mo Jingjing received so many packages that her hands were sore from receiving them, and she also unpacked so many packages that her hands were sore from unpacking them.

Finally, Mo Jingjing couldn't take it anymore. Looking at the room full of packages, she took the initiative to go to Li Shufen and talked to her about the problem very seriously: "Mom, I can understand how you feel right now, but I really don't mean to blame you. You don't need to be like this. The past is the past. Look at me, I'm doing very well now."

“I will let you know if I need anything, you don’t need to keep buying me things like this.”

Finally, looking at her mother, Mo Jingjing softened and added another sentence.

"Okay, Jingjing's mom promises you, I'll never buy random things online again and send so many packages home." The room being crammed full means the house is too small, so her top priority now should be to get her daughter a bigger house.

The idea had barely crossed Li Shufen's mind when it was immediately approved by her master.

For a girl, having her own house is what makes a home.

One house is a home, two houses are a dowry, and three houses are an investment.

Her daughter's dowry was more than just a house.

Saving up a dowry for Mo Jingjing has become Li Shufen's current task.

After all, buying a house isn't like buying handbags or clothes. Li Shufen still needed to discuss it with Zhu Shimao before taking any action. After hearing what his wife said, Zhu Shimao immediately smiled and, under Li Shufen's questioning gaze, took out three property certificates: "Shufen, come on, take a look at these first."

Upon hearing this, Li Shufen took the item and began to examine it carefully.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! Shimao, you...you already chose them for Jingjing? And they're all in upscale villa areas? When did you do all this? How come I had no idea?"

Isn't this a bit too good to be true?

Seeing his wife happy, Zhu Shimao's gloom vanished, and he was overjoyed: "Silly girl, I told you long ago, Jingjing is your daughter and also my daughter. It's only right to buy things for my own daughter. These are all things I bought casually when you were still willing. Jingjing is a good girl, and now she's in a relationship. A girl must have some resources to rely on."

Upon hearing this, Li Shufen was deeply moved and threw herself into Zhu Shimao's arms: "Shimao, thank you. I never expected you to care so much about Jingjing. Meeting you is the greatest blessing of my life."

"Shufen, there's something else I need to tell you." Zhu Shimao took out his constantly vibrating phone from his pocket and hung up again: "Something's happened at the company, and I have to go back now."

Zhu Shimao's place is the capital of this country, which people also like to call the capital.

There are three major families in the capital: the Zhu family, the Ma family, and the Zhao family.

The current situation in the capital appears to be a three-way standoff, but in reality, the capital has not been peaceful in the past two years. Some rising stars have emerged, and some of these people are like parasites in a grand mansion.
