Chapter 392: The Game of Power: Ambiguity and Wisdom
Steward Lin's face turned pale and he said tremblingly, "The elder of the Zhao clan... fell ill suddenly and is now in the hospital for emergency treatment!" Mo Han and Wen Nuan looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Mo Han immediately ordered Butler Lin to prepare the car, and the two hurried to the hospital.
The atmosphere in the hospital was solemn.
The elder Zhao's family members gathered at the door of the ward, all looking anxious.
Uncle Mo was there too. When he saw Mo Han and Wen Nuan, a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Mo Han stepped forward to inquire about the condition of the Zhao clan elder. The doctor shook his head solemnly, indicating that the situation was not optimistic.
Wen Nuan noticed Uncle Mo's eyes and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
The elder of the Zhao clan has always been in good health, how could he suddenly become seriously ill?
Over the next few days, rumors spread throughout the family.
Some people said that the elder of the Zhao clan was overworked, while others said that he offended a villain and was assassinated.
Second Uncle Mo even spread rumors everywhere, implying that the illness of the Zhao clan elder was related to Wen Nuan, saying that she was unlucky in marriage and brought bad luck to the Mo family.
Although many people don't believe it, Wen Nuan's situation in the family is even more difficult.
Wen Nuan was not defeated by these rumors.
She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Mo family, she had to show her strength.
She decided to take the initiative.
She contacted several important members of the Mo family, invited them to visit the Mo family business, and explained in detail her plans and contributions to the business.
Her confident and calm performance made many members start to look at her with admiration, and their previous doubts about her gradually dissipated.
At the same time, Mo Sanmei also frequently showed her kindness to Wen Nuan, and her words were full of praise and enticement.
Wen Nuan dealt with it on the surface, but she knew in her heart that Mo Sanmei's purpose was not simple.
She wanted to use herself to achieve her own goals.
After the tour, Wen Nuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Mo Building, overlooking the entire city.
Mo Han walked over to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders.
"You did well," he whispered.
Wen Nuan leaned in his arms with a faint smile on her lips.
"This is just the beginning." At this time, Mo Sanmei came over with a hypocritical smile on her face: "Wu Nuan, you are so amazing, I really admire you more and more." As she said, she reached out to hold Wen Nuan's hand.
Wen Nuan avoided her hand without leaving a trace, turned to look at Mo Sanmei, with a barely perceptible coldness in her eyes.
"Thank you for the compliment, Third Sister."
Mo Sanmei's hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
She looked at Wen Nuan, her eyes flickering...
"Actually, I've always had an idea..."
Mo Sanmei withdrew her hand that was frozen in mid-air, stroked her temples in a disguised manner, and there was a hint of barely perceptible sourness in her tone: "Actually, I have always had an idea. I want to work with you to jointly manage a new project under the Mo Group. What do you think?" Wen Nuan looked at Mo Sanmei calmly. She knew that this was just a test from Mo Sanmei.
If she agreed, she would fall into Mo Sanmei's trap and become a pawn in her hands.
"I appreciate Third Sister's kindness," Wen Nuan declined politely, "but I have a lot of work to do right now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time."
Mo Sanmei's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her smile: "It's okay, we can discuss it slowly."
A few days later, the Mo family held a family gathering.
Mo Sanmei took this opportunity to deliberately make things difficult for Wen Nuan in front of all the family members.
"Wu Nuan, I heard that the project you previously managed suffered a lot of losses. What happened?" She said in a sharp tone with obvious provocation.
Wen Nuan was well prepared. She calmly explained the reasons for the project's losses and proposed corresponding solutions with clear logic and solid evidence.
Mo Sanmei originally wanted to take this opportunity to humiliate Wen Nuan, but unexpectedly, she was outmaneuvered by her instead, and her face immediately turned ashen.
"It seems that Wen Nuan knows everything about the company's situation," Uncle Mo said sarcastically, "I wonder how much you know about the Mo family's rules?" He asked a tricky question, trying to embarrass Wen Nuan.
Wen Nuan smiled slightly: "Second uncle, you are joking. I will naturally keep the Mo family rules in mind." She answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, neither showing weakness nor being aggressive.
Second Uncle Mo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Old Master Mo: "Okay, today is a family dinner, let's not talk about business."
Although Old Master Mo was very old, he was still very majestic. His words forced Uncle Mo and Sister Mo to stop.
After the dinner, Wen Nuan and Mo Han walked out of the hall side by side.
"You performed very well today." Mo Han held the warm hand and whispered.
"Thank you." Wen Nuan held his hand back with a faint smile on her lips.
At this moment, Mo Sanmei suddenly came over with a sinister smile on her face: "Wu Nuan, I have something else I want to talk to you about alone..."
Mo Sanmei pulled Wen Nuan aside mysteriously, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "Wen Nuan, don't think you've won. Let me tell you, the Mo family isn't as simple as you think. You'd better be sensible and not refuse a toast."
Wen Nuan looked at Mo Sanmei pretending to be fierce and sneered in her heart.
She had known for a long time that Mo Sanmei would not give up.
"Third sister, what do you want to say?" Wen Nuan said calmly, not frightened by Mo Sanmei's aura at all.
"I want you to leave Mo Han!" Mo Sanmei finally stated her purpose.
Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Mo Sanmei with a half-smile: "Why?"
"Just because I'm a member of the Mo family, and you're just an abandoned girl abandoned by the family!" Mo Sanmei said in a sarcastic tone.
The warm eyes turned cold in an instant: "Whether I am a member of the Mo family is not up to you. As for Mo Han, he knows what he wants."
At this time, Mo Han came over, hugged Wen Nuan in his arms, and announced in front of everyone: "Wu Nuan is my wife, I love her, and I will always protect her." An ambiguous atmosphere spread, and Wen Nuan felt sweet in her heart.
In the middle of a family gathering, Mo Han suddenly took Wen Nuan's hand, looked around with a firm gaze, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Everyone, I would like to formally introduce Wen Nuan, my wife and my only partner in the future. I hope everyone can respect her and support her." Mo Han leaned close to Wen Nuan's ear and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." His warm breath sprayed on Wen Nuan's ear, making her face slightly red.
Second Uncle Mo's face turned ashen, and Third Sister Mo was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she did not dare to refute Mo Han in person.
Although the other family members were surprised, they also expressed their support for Mo Han and Wen Nuan.
After all, Mo Han is the heir of the Mo family, and no one dares to easily oppose his decision.
Just then, Butler Lin hurried in and whispered a few words in Mo Han's ear.
Mo Han's expression changed slightly, and then he said to everyone: "Sorry, I have something urgent to deal with." After that, he hurried away with Wen Nuan.
In the car, Mo Han's face remained gloomy. Wen Nuan asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Mo Han took a deep breath and said, "Lawyer Wang wants to see us."
Wen Nuan's heart sank, and she had a feeling that things were not simple.
The atmosphere in Lawyer Wang's office was solemn, filled with a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to break out.
He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced at Mo Han and Wen Nuan seriously: "Mr. Mo, Miss Wen Nuan, regarding the equity distribution of the Mo family, I have carefully studied all the relevant legal documents. I have only one position, and that is fairness and justice." He paused, and said in a heavier tone, "No matter who it is, no one can be above the law." Lawyer Wang's words undoubtedly reassured Mo Han and Wen Nuan. In the complicated power struggle of the Mo family, it is crucial to have an impartial legal advisor.
Coming out of the law firm, I took a deep, warm breath. The cool evening breeze brushed across my cheeks, but it couldn't blow away the gloom in my heart.
Mo Han noticed her uneasiness and gently held her hand: "Don't worry, everything will be fine." Wen Nuan responded with a forced smile. She knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Sure enough, Uncle Mo moved very quickly.
The next day, he summoned several important members of the family to conspire in a secret private club.
Under the dim light, Uncle Mo's face was filled with a sinister look: "We can't do anything about Lawyer Wang for the time being, but we must not let this woman Wen Nuan continue to be so arrogant!" "Uncle, what are your plans?" asked a short, fat man with a flattering face.
"I heard that the project Wen Nuan previously managed suffered heavy losses. We can start from this aspect and ruin her reputation!" A gleam of light flashed in Uncle Mo's eyes.
"But Wen Nuan has already explained the reasons for the losses and proposed solutions, and family members have not held her responsible," another member reminded.
"Hmph, so what?" Second Uncle Mo sneered, "As long as we operate properly, we can turn white into black! Then, even if Mo Han wants to protect her, he won't be able to do so!"
At the same time, Mo Sanmei was not idle either.
She secretly contacted several family members who had grievances with Wen Nuan, fanning the flames and spreading all kinds of rumors that were unfavorable to Wen Nuan.
For a time, undercurrents surged within the Mo family, and a bigger storm was brewing.
Wen Nuan and Mo Han had no idea that danger was approaching.
They returned to the Mo family's old house, but found the atmosphere extremely solemn.
Steward Lin came forward in a panic and said in a low voice, "Sir, Madam, the old master wants you to go to the study."
Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other and saw a hint of uneasiness in each other's eyes.
They walked into the study and saw Old Master Mo sitting upright with a terribly gloomy expression on his face.
"Grandpa, what do you want to talk to us about?" Mo Han asked first.
Old Master Mo didn't say anything, but just threw a document in front of them.
Mo Han picked up the document and took a look at it, his face turning pale instantly.
Wen Nuan also leaned over to take a look and saw the words "Share Transfer Agreement" written in large letters on the document.
"Grandpa, this is..." Mo Han's voice trembled a little.
Old Master Mo slowly raised his head, staring at Mo Han sharply. "This is my final decision." His tone was icy, leaving no room for doubt. "From today on, you are no longer the heir to the Mo family!"
The warm breath stagnated, and a chill ran from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
She suddenly looked at Mo Han and saw that he was clenching his fists tightly, his knuckles were white, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
"Why?" These three words squeezed out of Mo Han's mouth almost carried a hint of despair.
Old Master Mo sneered, "Why? You know it in your heart!" He slammed the table and roared, "You betrayed your family for a woman! You disappoint me so much!"
