“Second Daughter-in-Law!”

Just as Fang Liu was at a loss for words to refute, Grandfather Mo, who had been silent, began to speak. There was a hint of anger in his voice as he said, “Fang Liu’s family may be troubled, but that does not mean that Fang Liu is conceited. If you dare utter such nonsense again, do not expect me to go easy on you next time!”

Fang Liu did not expect Grandfather Mo to protect her so much. She felt touched for a moment. Li Li was flabbergasted. She did not expect Grandfather Mo to protect a woman who had only recently become a member of the Mo family.

‘This woman is pregnant with another man’s child and is obviously after the Mo family’s fortune. Could Grandfather Mo not see this, or was he protecting Fang Liu because she is Mo Yu’s wife?’

Li Li had never even seen Grandfather Mo treat Mo Tao and Mo Wei that well. 

‘Father Mo is being too biased.’

Li Li gritted her teeth in hatred, but she did not dare refute Grandfather Mo’s words. She could only suppress the resentment in her heart as she remained silent.

After Li Li had left, Grandfather Mo looked kindly at Fang Liu and said, “Her mouth is just a little foul. You don’t have to take her words personally.”

“Yes, thank you for protecting me just now,” Fang Liu looked at Grandfather Mo and said gratefully.

Grandfather Mo sighed helplessly, “I indeed owe much to Mo Tao’s family. I am afraid that they have grown to resent me. However, there can only be one heir to the Mo family. Mo Yu’s characteristics and capabilities were the main reasons I chose him to be the heir to the Mo family. 

“Although, Mo Yu might not understand my decision. You are not only Mo Yu’s wife and the future Young Madam of the Mo family. Protecting the pride of the Mo family was the reason why I decided to protect you.”

Fang Liu did not expect that Grandfather Mo would speak so bluntly. This was something that Fang Liu had never thought of. She still spent her days thinking of a way to divorce Mo Yu.

In less than two days, Grandfather Mo announced an important matter at the dining table, completely disrupting Fang Liu’s original plans.

“This is a jade bracelet that has been passed down in the Mo family for generations. I believe that all of you are aware of what this symbolizes. Now that I am old, the matters of the Mo family have been entrusted to Mo Yu. However, the Mo family is still in need of a female leader.”

Li Li’s eyes were filled with greed as she looked at the jade bracelet.

‘Will the jade bracelet be passed down to me?’

Li Li had been in the Mo family for decades. Although she had not contributed to the Mo family, she had not made any major mistakes either. Perhaps Grandfather Mo realized that he would not live much longer. Thus, he was prepared to entrust the jade bracelet to the next generation.

Li Li’s heart was filled with joy. She began to think of all the nice things she would say after graciously receiving the jade bracelet.

“Now, I will pass this jade bracelet down to Fang Liu. As of now, all internal affairs regarding the Mo family will be entrusted to Fang Liu.”

Grandfather Mo shakily extended his right hand and pointed toward Fang Liu. The maid beside Grandfather Mo then handed a gold-lined jewelry box containing the jade bracelet to Fang Liu.

Fang Liu was in awe. Looking at the jade bracelet in the gold-lined treasure box, she did not feel worthy of accepting it at that moment. The jade bracelet was heavy. It symbolized leadership, and from now on, Fang Liu would be the sole leader of the Mo family.

‘Grandfather Mo just entrusted such a priceless heirloom to Fang Liu?’

Seeing that Grandfather Mo had entrusted the jade bracelet to Fang Liu, the smug smile on Li Li’s face turned stiff.

‘How is this possible?! How could Fang Liu be worthy of becoming the Young Madam of the Mo family? Was Grandfather Mo’s brain damaged during the car accident?’

Li Li wanted to curse out loud and question Grandfather Mo’s decision. She had worked hard for the Mo family for decades. Lili could not understand why she would be inferior to a woman who had only recently become a member of the Mo family.

“Go on. Take it.” Grandfather Mo looked at Fang Liu, eagerly urging her..
