The next time Mr. Ji received a message from Wan Ge, it came from his business partner. The two had just finished discussing their collaboration when the partner suddenly said with a smile, "Mr. Ji's daughter is about to get married to Mr. Mo, right? Congratulations! I'll definitely be there."
"When?" Mr. Ji frowned. He hadn't received any news about Wan Ge for more than half a year since he told his subordinates not to worry about her.
Upon being asked this, the business partner suddenly paused, "Mr. Ji, don't you know about this? Isn't the wedding scheduled for next month?"
It's said that the two got married right after graduating from university. However, it seems the woman's parents were completely unaware of the situation. What exactly happened?
Seeing Mr. Ji's face gradually darken, his business partner wisely stopped talking.
After his partner left, Mr. Ji took out his phone to call Wan Ge. The phone was constantly busy, which made it very clear that the other party had blocked him.
Okay, very good.
He just didn't expect that Mo Cizhou would actually marry her.
After making some inquiries, Mr. Mo also learned that the wedding was a grand affair, and basically everyone of note in the industry was invited. Only his and his mother's side of the family were not invited.
…
Initially, they weren't optimistic about the wedding because it didn't have family backing.
At first, I thought that Wan Ge was insisting on marrying Mo Cizhou and that her family disagreed. But then I thought about it seriously. Wan Ge is marrying Mo Cizhou. What could his family possibly object to?
But if not a single person from either of her parents' families came, isn't the meaning quite clear? Either she was abandoned by her family, or she abandoned her family.
Mo Cizhou did not actually take any action to suppress them. However, when someone secretly probed his relationship with the Ji and Jin families, Mo Cizhou would reveal his dissatisfaction with the two families and that he had already severed all cooperation with them.
His meaning couldn't be clearer: many people who wanted to curry favor with their family, even if they weren't going to go too far, were unknowingly reducing their cooperation with them until they stopped cooperating altogether.
The Mo family grew stronger and stronger, while the Ji and Jin families gradually declined.
…
Later, Wan Ge heard that Ji had promoted one of his illegitimate sons to take over the company. It turned out the man, despite appearing exceptionally talented, was all show and no substance. This seemingly impressive resume turned out to be nothing more than a pretty face with no real ability.
After the Ji family handed the company over to him, the decline became even more pronounced, until one day they filed for bankruptcy. At that time, Mr. Ji, who was recuperating in the hospital, coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Jin simply brought a bouquet of flowers and visited him briefly at the hospital.
The two people who were originally going to get a divorce, however, were brought closer together by the Mo family’s subtle suppression, and the two families never mentioned divorce again.
But now, the Ji family is in dire straits again. To avoid being dragged down even further, Ms. Jin brought not only a visit to the sick family but also a divorce agreement.
Mr. Ji was so angry when he saw the divorce agreement that he almost fainted, but he still signed his name on it in the end.
Before Ms. Jin left, Mr. Ji said with a helpless and self-deprecating tone, "We've schemed our whole lives, only to end up like this because of a discarded child."
