Chu Yuan was prepared; the "little bit of money" Ning Mochen mentioned was definitely more than just "little bit".

However, I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw the actual amount.

A full thirty million!

Does he have a printing press hidden away?

"Can I deposit the cash and exchange it to you after I complete the task?"

"No, that won't work. But sweetheart, you can buy gold with the money. Our higher-ups like gold."

Alright!

Chu Yuan experienced the joy of saving money in the second dimension. Although a billion is a lot of money, who would complain about having too much money?

Moreover, the more money you have, the more you want to save. If you live paycheck to paycheck, you won't save a single penny and you'll easily max out your credit card!

...

Ning Mochen had a meeting in the afternoon. After the meeting, he went straight back to the Ning family villa.

Zhou Manyun was a little surprised to see him return. "Why didn't you go see the old man today?"

Ning Mochen said, "I came back to pick up some documents and also to discuss something with you."

Most of the time, he doesn't call Zhou Manyun "Mom".

It just didn't feel quite right, after all, he had been under the control of Grandpa Ning all these years, and his relationship with Zhou Manyun was only superficial.

"Oh? What is it?" Zhou Manyun was practicing yoga and didn't stop her movements when she heard this.

She usually lives with the old man, but now that he's recuperating in the hospital, she lives alone in the huge villa.

Ning Mochen sat down on the sofa, fiddling with the expensive watch on his wrist. "I want to terminate the agreement with Miss Chu and prevent her from having children."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Manyun stopped what she was doing.

She turned to look at him, puzzled.

Ning Mochen's expression remained unchanged, very calm. "I've been thinking a lot lately. As Mu Wan's brother, I bear responsibility for her death."

It was a mistake not to stop her from moving out of the Ning family at that time.

The lack of care and protection for her while she was with Xiao Shuo was two mistakes.

But I believe she doesn't want a child with my genes, and if she does, it would likely be the third mistake.

Therefore, I don't want to disturb her soul just to satisfy Grandpa.

Ning Mochen adopted a humble approach, prioritizing courtesy before resorting to force.

As a result, Zhou Manyun chuckled and simply rejected the idea, "No way."

"Why?"

“Mo Chen, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand? Although you have the surname Ning, you are not a member of the Ning family after all. The board’s concerns are also the old man’s concerns. Originally, the reason for your marriage to Mu Wan was to solidify this relationship, but Mu Wan… well, let’s not talk about that. Now, only if you and Mu Wan have a child can you continue to sit in the position of president of Ning Corporation and take charge of Ning Corporation in place of the old man.”

"It's no use talking to me about the agreement. I can't make that decision. It was all the old man's idea."

Zhou Manyun, like a football being passed around, blocked all possible paths with a single sentence.

She knew very well that Ning Mochen feared no one in this family except the old man.

Moreover, as she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Ning Mochen, as if trying to discern something from him.

This was so sudden!

He came back and tore up the agreement. Adding to all that, he gave that woman money, made her the second female lead in a major TV series, and Weiwei said she saw him and that woman together in a private room at a club... It's hard not to overthink things.

But Ning Mochen has always been good at keeping his emotions hidden, so it would be strange if Zhou Manyun could tell.

He seemed to be saying it casually, as if Zhou Manyun's answer wasn't that important. He stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go first to see Grandpa at the hospital."

After speaking, he nodded slightly and stepped out.

A polite and refined young man, whose demeanor is pleasing to the eye from every angle.

By the time Zhou Manyun came to her senses, Ning Mochen had already reached the door.

She suddenly called out to him, "Mo Chen!"

Ning Mochen turned around and waited for Zhou Manyun to speak.

The latter hesitated for a moment before asking, "Mo Chen, Mom is asking you, do you and that Miss Chu... have something going on?"

Zhou Manyun trusted her intuition; a woman's intuition is usually very accurate.

Moreover, it wasn't just her; even Weiwei, who's always been a bit clueless, felt something was off!

Weiwei was aware of Mo Chen's feelings for her, but she just couldn't make up her mind.

"No, you're overthinking it." Ning Mochen's calm voice carried a hint of coldness, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

Zhou Manyun smiled, "If you say that, Mom can believe you."

But you must understand that the girl is as insignificant as dust; apart from bearing children for our Ning family, she has no other use.

Mom knows she's very pretty and pitiful, which is what attracts you boys the most, but wasn't the biggest reason you chose her because she's pretty?

A good maternal environment is essential for giving birth to a healthy baby.

There's no doubt about your and Mu Wan's genes, and we certainly wouldn't choose someone unsuitable as a surrogate.

Mo Chen, your status is worlds apart from hers. Please... please don't lower yourself to that level, understand?

Ning Mochen didn't answer, but nodded slightly, and the door slowly closed in front of them.

Zhou Manyun couldn't see the almost mocking and cold expression on his face after he turned around.

A world of difference?

Is he mud, and she is cloud?

After walking quite a distance, Ning Mochen stopped by the roadside, looked up and took a deep look at the Ning family villa, which was as beautiful and picturesque as a garden and had the most exquisite style.

I'm sorry, but he has waited long enough for the Ning family!

He turned around immediately, his figure as swift as the wind, his steps quick.

I made a call, and the other party answered almost instantly.

Ning Mochen's voice was lazy and deep: "Jingyu, you said last time that I would invest purely with my technical skills, how many shares did you give me again?"
