Chapter 2012 - There’s No Smoke Without Fire
“Do you know how much losses we’ll suffer if you do this?”
“Of course I know.” Mo Yesi’s expression was still calm. “I know what you’re thinking about. Mom, Grandma, I know what to do with the company, you don’t have to worry.”
“Ah Si, do you know what you’re doing?” Madam Mo asked angrily.
“Of course I know. Since the company has been handed to me, it’s my own business. Grandma, why are you worrying about this? Are you worried that I can’t manage the company well?
“Don’t you know what your grandson is capable of?”
Old Madam was silent for a while.
“Ah Si, of course I know what you’re capable of. Otherwise, your dad wouldn’t have handed the company to you. But isn’t this too sudden? Our families have always been on good terms, why did things suddenly become so tense?”
“You should tell us why.”
“What else could it be for?” Madam Mo glared at Qiao Mianmian and said in an unfriendly tone, “I saw on the news that it was because of Mianmian. It said that the Gong family’s devil is interested in Mianmian and Ah Si did this because of her.
“Ah Si, Mianmian, shouldn’t you tell us the truth?”
Madam Mo’s words were targeted at Qiao Mianmian.
Qiao Mianmian was about to say something when Mo Yesi grabbed her hand.
He held her hand and looked up at Madam Mo. “Mom, don’t you see that the media is reporting nonsense just to attract attention? I thought that outsiders wouldn’t understand, so I didn’t believe such a ridiculous rumor. Why are you starting to believe such nonsense?”
Madam Mo was stunned. Seeing how protective her son was of Qiao Mianmian, she felt jealous.
She had given birth to him after 10 months of pregnancy.
But now, he had forgotten his mother.
Madam Mo was both disappointed and angry.
“There’s no smoke without fire.” She said coldly, “With such a rumor, it means that this might be true. Otherwise, why did they spread it? Ah Si, I know you’re defending your wife, but you have to see the truth for what it is.
“Everything you do affects the company’s future development. You can’t make decisions based on personal feelings. Our Mo and Gong families have been on good terms for so many years. How are we going to get along with each other in the future if you do this?
“How can you be so impulsive?”
Mo Yesi frowned. “I’ve already said that this has nothing to do with Mianmian. Mom, if you don’t believe me, why would you believe those rumors? The Mo and Gong families’ relationship is private, but the Mo Corporation canceled their cooperation with the Gong Corporation because of business considerations. It has nothing to do with anything else.”
“But…” Madam Mo didn’t believe him and wanted to retort.
“Enough. Wenpei, stop talking.”
Old Madam said in a low voice, “I believe in Ah Si. He has always had his own considerations and has never made us worry.”
“But Mom…”
“Alright, you should trust your son and daughter-in-law.”
“But what about the relationship between us and the Gong family?” Madam Mo was obviously unwilling to let it go. “Won’t the two families become enemies in the future?”
