Mo Xiaotuo had long been used to being ordered around by this family, but now things were different. She was married, so this was the first time she had rebelled since entering this family.

“I’m not going. If anyone’s going, let Lisa go!” she said, turning to go upstairs.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bing stepped forward, pulled the person back, and slapped Mo Xiaotuo across the face: "I think you've gone too far! If you dare not go, I'll bring your sickly brother back from school today, and you'll all get out of here!"

Mo Xiaotuo glared at her aunt with hatred, gritting her teeth in anger, but feeling utterly helpless.

She only has two thousand yuan left in her pocket, which is not enough to cover her tuition and accommodation fees. If she really wants to escape this ruthless place, she will need to get the ten thousand yuan for living expenses.

Upon thinking about it that way, she immediately chickened out.

"I...I'll go!" Her voice was helpless and weak.

Yan Bing only stopped after hearing this and threw the person on the ground. As she left, she spat out a mouthful of disgust: "You two good-for-nothing sluts, you eat my food and use my things, and you still want to have a temper? Do you really think I'm a vegetarian?"

"Mom, don't ruin this vixen face, or the Zhang family will look down on it and it won't be worth anything," Morissa said with a mischievous grin.

She had been jealous of Mo Xiaotuo's stunning beauty since she was a child. If her mother hadn't stopped her and told her that this slut's face could be sold for money, she would have found a way to ruin it long ago.

After waiting for so many years, this day has finally arrived, and she is filled with immense anticipation.

"Liu Ma, watch her change her clothes and get ready, don't let it interfere with important business." Yan Bing suppressed her anger slightly after hearing her daughter's words.

Mo Xiaotuo bit her lip until it bled, and was herded upstairs to that corner room by Aunt Liu like livestock.

She used to be the mistress of this place, but now she and her brother live in a place worse than a servant. Looking at the cramped room, she twitched her lips in a sarcastic smile.

"Mo Xiaotuo, you'd better be sensible. If you offend Madam, your sickly little brother will be finished!" Liu Ma, who was acting like a bully, stood at the door with her arms crossed, not at all like a servant, but acting like the master.

"Lackey!" Mo Xiaotuo opened his mouth.

Aunt Liu raised her hand to strike, but then remembered the conversation between the young lady and the madam, and instead kicked Mo Xiaotuo in the back.

Liu Ma was burly and strong, while Mo Xiaotuo was very thin and small. With this kick, he fell directly to the ground.

Mo Xiaotuo gritted her teeth and didn't shout. In fact, she wasn't as weak as she seemed. She was just naturally thin and malnourished, which made her look easier to bully.

She clenched her fists in suppressed anger, then took the clothes Morissa had worn to the bathroom.

In no time, she came out wearing what Morissa thought was the ugliest dress. But even the ugliest dress on Morissa looked stunning on her beautiful face.

Seeing how beautiful Mo Xiaotuo looked, Aunt Liu originally wanted to apply some lipstick to her, but she gave up on the idea, lest the young lady find it an eyesore later.

As evening fell, the two went downstairs one after the other. Yan Bing, who had been waiting impatiently in the lobby, stood up and saw the fair-skinned and beautiful Mo Xiaotuo. Both mother and daughter looked displeased.

Morissa's skin is quite dark, and the white dress makes her skin look even darker. But Mo Xiaotuo is different; she's a natural beauty with fair skin, and the dress makes her skin look much brighter.

"Vixen, humph!" Morissa cursed unhappily and strode out of the villa.

Yan Bing found Mo Xiaotuo utterly displeasing at that moment, and secretly rejoiced that she had made the right decision to encourage her husband to marry her off to that good-for-nothing from the Zhang family. Otherwise, if their daughter ever took a fancy to some promising young man, this little vixen would surely snatch him away.

A wicked glint flashed in her eyes. She quickly followed him, got into the car, and told the driver to take her to a famous hotel in City A.

...

Tiancheng Hotel.

In a private room on the sixteenth floor, a group of talented young people were discussing a rather large investment.

Luo Chen, who was usually rather aloof, sat to the side, holding a glass of red wine and occasionally glancing at his phone on the table.

That damn woman seems to have completely ignored what he said.

Jiang Kai, who was not far away, had been watching this kid all night. They had known each other for many years, and Jiang Kai had become the vice president of Chen's Enterprise. They were not only good friends, but also had a superior-subordinate relationship.

Seeing that Luo Chen was distracted, he suddenly had a bold idea and leaned forward to ask in a low voice, "Luo Chen, you wouldn't agree to marry the old lady, would you?"

"What else can I do?" Luo Chen replied coldly.

Are they really married?

Jiang Kai stared in astonishment at the ancient iron tree before him. Had the iron tree truly blossomed?

Luo Chen ignored the guy, picked up his wine glass and took a sip. For some reason, he felt a tightness in his chest.

Seeing that Luo Chen was unhappy, Jiang Kai made another bold guess: "Could it be that the person you're marrying was chosen by the old lady, and he's the ugly duckling?"

"No one will think you're mute if you don't speak!" Luo Chen said, then downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Jiang Kai sat beside him, his mouth agape in astonishment, unable to recover from the shock of the news of being struck by lightning for a long time.

At that moment, several wealthy young men who were drinking and making merry nearby walked over, each with a woman on their left and right. The women who came tonight were all second-tier actresses, who were somewhat famous in the entertainment industry.

They were all tall and slender, with curvaceous figures, and very beautiful.

However, none of these beautiful women caught Luo Chen's eye.

One of the young models had her eye on Luo Chen from the start. He was the boss of the Chen Corporation; if she could win him over, she wouldn't have to work so hard in the future. Taking advantage of the moment when she was dawdling with the rich young master, she deliberately fell onto Luo Chen.
