Chapter 131: Confrontation
Although Qin Yuan usually had a cheeky smile on, he knew to be serious when it came to serious matters.
After Huo Zhen’s car accident, the cooperation between the Qin family and the Huo family began to become unstable due to the change in the person in charge.
During that period of time, the situation became something that everyone in Jing City paid attention to.
Although old master Huo was back in charge, he was already old and had to soon relinquish his position to someone else. What was important was who would take over his position. The person who would take over his position would have a safe-sailing career for the next few decades, while for the people who were not involved, nothing much would change for them.
At that time, faced with the cooperation initiation of the second and third masters of the Huo family, as well as the vague goodwill of the fourth master, the Qin family chose to be neutral. However, this made the young masters of the Huo family angry. As a result, the Qin family were put in a difficult position.
!!
Luo Tao knew his worries and replied, “Let’s wait and see. Recently, there has been a lot of snakes in the Huo family. It’s time to get rid of them.”
He had not yet done anything towards them since he returned to Jing City, in order to give them the impression that he had lost his fighting spirit after almost dying. It seemed that they had finally had enough of waiting and wanted to make their first move towards Luo Tao.
“Brother Huo, why aren’t you surprised at all? Did you find out about this earlier?” Du Jing was a little curious about Luo Tao’s calmness.
“No, I guessed.”
The two short words made Du Jing turn his gaze to Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan understood what his gaze meant and fell silent.
Du Jing meant that Huo Zhen seemed more like his usual self right now.
Qin Yuan could not help but feel relieved after he was sure that Huo Zhen was not intimidated by the other young masters of the Huo family. He was excited to see what Huo Zhen was going to do.
Speaking of which, was Du Jing not curious about where brother Huo was going in such a hurry? And what he was going to do?
Imagining Du Jing’s shocked expression when he found out the truth, the corners of Qin Yuan’s mouth curled up slightly. When the time came, he would definitely have to capture Du Jing’s dumbfounded look.

Back at the hotel, Mo Yan walked into the private room that Mo Lian had designated.
At this moment, Mo Lian was already waiting in the private room. There were a few dishes and a bottle of red wine on the round table in front of her. When she saw Mo Yan, she revealed a rare smile.
“Sit.”
Mo Yan’s hair stood on end seeing her smile. She became even more vigilant and sat at the seat furthest away from her.
“Say what you came here to say!”
Glancing at the time, Mo Yan placed her bag and phone on the table. She hoped that Mo Lian did not come here with bad intentions.
Mo Lian could not help but feel embarra.s.sed when she saw that Mo Yan did not speak nicely. However, for some unknown reason, she restrained herself from being rude back to her. “No matter what, you and I are sisters. Why do we have to act like enemies? Why don’t we bury the hatchet and forget about the grudges between our parents?”
After saying that, Mo Lian raised her wine gla.s.s and gestured to her.
Mo Yan’s gaze paused on Mo Lian’s wine gla.s.s for a moment, then she poured herself a gla.s.s of red wine.
However, Mo Yan only played with the wine gla.s.s and did not drink it.
Looking at the liquid that was swaying back and forth in the gla.s.s, Mo Yan said, “Mo Lian, we have already shed all pretense of cordiality a long time ago. Aren’t you tired of pretending?”
Mo Lian’s eyes lit up when she saw Mo Yan pouring the wine. However, she realized that Mo Yan was just toying with her. She couldn’t help but sneer, “Mo Yan, I’m trying to be mature here. What’s wrong with you?”
“Ha! That’s funny. How can a legitimate daughter and an illegitimate daughter be sisters?” Mo Yan raised her head and looked into her eyes, her smile becoming more and more mocking.
Mo Lian hated it the most when people said that she was an illegitimate daughter. She was clearly her mother’s husband’s daughter, but her father was unwilling to divorce Mo Yan’s mother. That was why she had to live in hiding for so many years, afraid that others would say that she was an illegitimate daughter.
Thinking of why she called Mo Yan out today, Mo Lian tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. She said to Mo Yan, “I’m not here to quarrel with you today. I’m here to tell you the truth of the past. Your mother and my father divorced because they fell out of love. Don’t keep thinking that it’s all my mother’s fault.”
Mo Yan raised her eyebrows in disdain and turned a deaf ear to Mo Lian’s words.
Mo Lian called her out today to tell her the truth of the past? Please.
