"Don't worry about me. I guarantee all these documents will be on your desk by tomorrow morning."
"I made that solemn promise on the other end of the phone," Si Shao said.
"Hmph, that's for the best." With that, Mo Jingchen hung up the phone and immediately returned to the bedroom to be with his wife.
Today at the An family home, although An Yiruo didn't say anything, she must have been frightened.
Mo Jingchen couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been if An Yiruo hadn't realized what was happening and had instead drunk the "spiked" orange juice.
Even if An Yiruo is bullied, Mo Jingchen will never abandon her. However, this incident will leave an indelible shadow on An Yiruo's heart, and it will take her a long time to recover.
Back in the room, Mo Jingchen found An Yiruo on the sofa, leaning there lazily.
"An'an, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking about An Yufei's boyfriend. He seems to be a member of your Mo family as well."
"People from the Mo family? My Mo family doesn't have anyone with such poor judgment," Mo Jingchen said without any attempt to hide his true feelings.
"Pfft, Mr. Mo, it's not very nice of you to say that. After all, that person really does have the surname Mo. I think his name is something like... Mo... Lingxiao."
"So it was him. He's from a collateral branch of the Mo family. Their business hasn't been doing well in recent years, and they need the protection of the Mo Group to barely maintain a semblance of dignity. If he remains stubborn, I don't mind putting pressure on him as the head of the family."
"If that's the case, An Yufei is really at a huge loss, losing both her wife and her army," An Yiruo said with a look of schadenfreude.
“An’an, I thought you would be terrified after what you’ve been through today, but it seems you’re not affected at all,” Mo Jingchen said, sitting down beside her and pulling her into his arms.
An Yiruo also found a comfortable spot to lean against Mo Jingchen's chest.
“Mr. Mo, what I have experienced is many times, even a hundred times, dirtier than this. From the moment my mother and I were kicked out of the An family, I told myself that I must make my heart strong.”
An Yiruo leaned against Mo Jingchen's chest and continued, "Mr. Mo, do you know? When my mother and I first moved out of the An family home, we didn't have a single penny. That scoundrel An Zhengrong cut off all our living expenses. At first, to keep me from going hungry, my mother would find odd jobs. Only these kinds of jobs paid us daily. At night, we squeezed into a cheap 10-yuan hotel room."
The conditions in those small hotels were terrible; thugs often came to cause trouble. But later, I wasn't afraid anymore. I learned to be strong. My courage gradually grew from that time onward.
As Mo Jingchen listened to An Yiruo's simple account, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. He never expected that a woman who looked so gentle and weak like An Yiruo would have gone through such a thing.
He originally intended to teach An Zhengrong and the An Corporation a lesson, to make them suffer, but now he has changed his mind. He wants to bring the An family and the An Corporation to utter ruin...
"An'an, don't worry. These days will never come again." Mo Jingchen held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to give An Yiruo some warmth.
“It’s alright, those days are over. Later, my mother took on some side jobs at the company and earned a little more money, which allowed her to rent a house in the suburbs to keep warm.”
An Yiruo had never said such things to anyone before, nor had she ever told anyone about some of the things she had experienced.
Although An Yiruo edited and abridged these events, Mo Jingchen was the first person to hear his story.
"An'an, once things are settled, I'll take you out for a walk to clear your head."
"Thank you, Mr. Mo."
Mo Jingchen's chin rested on An Yiruo's forehead, and the two sat there embracing, looking at the scenery outside the window. Although they didn't speak, they didn't feel awkward at all, and they looked like they were enjoying a peaceful and idyllic time together...
The next day, Mo Jingchen went to the company early. When he entered the office, he saw Si Shao sitting on the sofa opposite his desk.
Mo Jingchen greeted him, "Young Master Si, what brings you here?"
"Stop being so cheeky. You know why I'm here."
"You could have just had the documents delivered. Why bother Young Master Si to make this special trip?" Mo Jingchen said, sitting in his executive chair.
Si Shao then stood up, holding a file folder in his hand, and walked towards Mo Jingchen.
"Let me show you, the An family is far more complicated than I imagined. Also, your mother-in-law is actually an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. No wonder they had such a hard time after leaving the An family."
Si Shao tossed the file folder to Mo Jingchen, telling him to open it himself. He then sat down opposite Mo Jingchen, watching his expression after reading the documents.
Mo Jingchen opened the file folder, and the contents inside made him both angry and heartbroken.
What angers me is An Zhengrong's actions and attitude towards his daughter. What breaks my heart is An Yiruo's past suffering.
"Also, An Zhengrong's current wife doesn't seem to be a good person either. There are probably other men behind her, but I need to investigate that now. I'll tell you after I've investigated."
"That's enough," Mo Jingchen said, putting the documents back into the file folder.
Si Shao also discovered evidence of An Zhengrong's embezzlement and bribery, as well as his harassment of female subordinates by abusing his power.
Any one of these points alone could bring An Zhengrong to legal punishment.
"Assistant Zhou, come in for a moment," Mo Jingchen dialed the internal line, asking Assistant Zhou to come to his office.
"President, Young Master Si," Assistant Zhou greeted Young Master Si with a nod as he entered.
"You are now to arrange the acquisition of An's shares. Remember to be careful and don't alert them."
"Yes, Mr. President."
"Regarding An's Enterprise, if necessary, tell all companies in City A that cooperating with An's Enterprise is tantamount to going against the Mo Group."
"Tsk tsk, Jing Chen is serious this time. The An family, a company, is about to disappear. But he brought it on himself. Bullying his sister-in-law, he deserves it," Si Shao said, sitting there.
"President, if there are no further instructions, I will take my leave now."
"Um."
After Assistant Zhou left, he recalled what Young Master Si had just said, thinking that the president's wife must have been wronged, which was why the president was so angry and wanted to punish An's Enterprise.
However, since you dare to bully the president's wife, you must bear the president's wrath.
Special Assistant Zhou observed three seconds of silence in memory of An Zhengrong.
