Mo Ming did not ask for a betrothal gift, instead he questioned, "Young Master Luo, if you want to marry Jiang Er, why did you want to be with Mo Lan before? Do you know what kind of harm your actions will bring to Mo Lan? "
"There are a lot of women that are with me in public. Everyone says that I'm a match made in heaven with them. Don't tell me that I have to marry them all?"
"But, the marriage alliance between our two families has already held a press conference."
"Don't tell me Ning Jiang isn't your family's daughter? Or is she going to be treated differently because she's your stepdaughter? Didn't you always boast that you treated your two princesses equally? "
Luo Hanshang's words made Mo Ming somewhat speechless.
He did say that, but he left Ning Jiang to herself. How could he give her to someone else?
"Ning Jiang can't. Her mother doesn't agree to this marriage."
With regards to the betrothal gift, I advise that you should at least consider it carefully. After all, only Chief Mo knows the current situation of the Mo's Group, and sometimes, it might not be able to save an enterprise by giving it face."
Luo Hanshang's words caused Mo Ming to shudder; he had investigated the Mo's before.
"Young Master Luo, Jiang Er is only my stepdaughter after all. If I agree to this matter, my wife will probably say that I have no respect for her and my second daughter. Therefore, your request is a bit difficult for me."
Luo Hanshang raised his eyebrows: "Mo's Group has had negative growth in profits for three consecutive years. If your board members were to know about this, do you think there would be any more crises within your Mo's? You must think about it carefully. Using Ning Jiang's Mo's Group to exchange for a few years of peace is a good deal."
The room was eerily quiet.
After a long while, Mo Ming raised his eyes and asked: "What kind of betrothal gift is Young Master Luo pla ing to give me, to help me save Mo's?"
"Datian Group has just taken down the Panlong River Bridge. Originally, our company could have completed it on its own, but now ... I don't mind sharing a piece with you. Once the Panlong River Bridge is completed, I presume that Boss Mo knows very well what kind of profits and honors will be brought to your Mo's Group and what benefits will be gained from it."
Luo Hanshang's intention was very clear. To save or to trample on, it all depended on Mo's reputation.
Mo Ming was not a fool. Naturally, he knew how to weigh the pros and cons.
On the way back to the company from Datian Group, Mo Ming made a call to Mo Lan.
When Mo Lan heard that her father wanted her to give up Luo Hanshang and choose a new son-in-law, she almost exploded in anger.
After hanging up, she directly called Ning Jiang's number.
"Bitch, did I tell you to stay away from Young Master Luo? You even dream of marrying him? You ..."
"It's not a delusion, " Ning Jiang interrupted Mo Lan."I've already accomplished what I wanted to do."
Her tone was frivolous, making Mo Lan quite angry.
Mo Lan shouted angrily, "Shut up! Young Master Luo is mine. It's not your turn to covet him."
"Heh, Mo Lan, if you have the guts, go to the reporters and tell them that I stole your fiancé."
"Of course I dare."
"Then you can go ahead and talk. I actually hope that those powerful reporters can investigate and see when Luo Family actually said they wanted to marry you."
Mo Lan gritted her teeth: "I am my father's daughter, and you are just a burden. Since Luo Family is to be married off, Young Master Luo should of course marry an upright young miss."
"What is proper? I clearly remember when your father, in order to win the favor of the world, said in front of the media, "In the future, the two of us sisters will be treated equally."
For the first time, Mo Lan hated her father. She hated why he wanted to marry Su Yunshan.
Thinking of Su Yunshan, a trace of malice flashed in Mo Lan's eyes."Ning Jiang, listen carefully. If you don't let Young Master Luo go, then I will be rude to Su Yunshan."
"If anything were to happen to my mother while your Mo Family, would the first unlucky person be me or your Mo Family?"
Mo Lan's voice was cold as she said, "Don't threaten me. If the media knew that you had stolen your sister's boyfriend, who do you think would be the one to suffer."
Ning Jiang said arrogantly, "Mo Lan, as for finding a man, we'll each rely on our own abilities. If you have the guts to say in public that I stole your boyfriend, then go ahead. It's not like I don't have evidence that you stole my ex-boyfriend.
"You ... You're fucking crazy. I won't let you do it." As soon as Mo Lan finished speaking, Ning Jiang directly hung up the phone.
Mo Lan shouted hysterically into her cell phone.
Ning Jiang held her cell phone and sat on the balcony in a daze. At noon, she finally dialed Su Yunshan's number.
Su Yunshan quickly picked up her phone. With an anxious voice, she said, "Jiang Er, listen to your mother ..."
"Mom, don't talk. Listen to me." Ning Jiang interrupted her mother. On the other end of the phone, Su Yunshan quieted down.
Ning Jiang exhaled, "Leave the Mo Family, how about it?"
As long as her mother could leave the Mo Family, she would not have any weakness.
