Furthermore, according to Mo Zhu’s instructions, she wanted Gao Rong to sell all of the Gao family’s businesses. Now that more than half of the Gao family’s businesses were losing money, if they were to sell those that were still making profits, how would the Gao family maintain their livelihood in the future?

Mo Zhu understood what Gao Rong was worried about. She raised her hand indifferently and continued to add, “Not only will I arrange for someone to assist you in taking over the new projects and industries, I’ve also prepared the funds for you. With all these, whether the Gao family can return to that position will depend on you. If there’s anything wrong with your ability, then pretend that I didn’t say anything. I don’t want to support a person who is not capable, ambitious, or worthy of the position of the family head!”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Huo Xuan stopped pouring tea and looked up at her. A deep meaning flashed across his eyes. He already understood what this girl wanted to do.

Huo Xuan picked up his teacup and took a sip. He thought to himself that only Mo Zhu had such guts.

Gao Rong pondered for a moment and finally understood what she said. He immediately asked with a trembling voice, “Ms. Mo, is what you said true?”

Mo Zhu glanced at Gao Rong indifferently and said calmly, “That’s not all I want you to do. I’ll give you two days to arrange everything. In two days, I want you to bring Gao Qing to Cloud City to look for me. Remember, make the commotion as big as you can. You have to let all the influential families in the capital know that I want to treat your second uncle.”

After saying this, without waiting for Gao Rong to agree, Mo Zhu said she didn’t want to eat and waved to ask Huo Xuan to return back to the Huo family.

Just as she walked out of the Gao family’s mansion, Mo Zhu seemed to have recalled something and asked Huo Xuan to drive. Then, she turned on her phone and skillfully dialed a number.

Not long later, the call was picked up and an old man’s voice came from the receiver. “Girl, why did you suddenly call me?”

Mo Zhu raised her hand and casually played with the zipper on her coat. Her tone was lazy as she said, “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that I saw Gao Qing today and he asked me to bring something back for you. Where are you now? If it’s convenient, I’ll send it to you. If it’s not convenient, give me a location. I’ll place it there for you and you can take time to get it yourself.”

When the person on the other end of the phone heard Gao Qing’s name, he was silent for a while before replying, “Girl, how’s the old man? Is he alright?”

Mo Zhu had never lied to him and immediately replied honestly, “His condition isn’t very good. He’s so old and he’s even poisoned. He should have less than a month to live.”

A sigh that sounded aged came from the other end of the phone. After a long while, the old man said unhurriedly, “How confident are you of treating his illness?”

When Mo Zhu heard this, she raised her eyebrows noncommittally and continued to fiddle with her zipper leisurely. “You want to save him? Why don’t you come back yourself?”

“I have something urgent to attend to. I’m afraid I don’t have time to go back recently.” The old man’s voice sounded a little graver.

“You want me to save him?” Mo Zhu’s tone was still indifferent.

The old man paused for a few seconds and said, “I’ve lived for so long and he’s my only friend.”

When Mo Zhu heard this, her expression changed. She nodded and agreed, “Alright, since you’ve said so, I agree to this matter.”

After saying this, she seemed to have recalled something and asked, “You said that you won’t be back for the time being? Gao Qing is in Beijing and you won’t be able to return? Where are you now?”

The old man on the other end of the phone smiled awkwardly and explained, “I’m in Southeast Asia.”

Mo Zhu’s tone turned cold and she said unhappily, “You’re already so old, but you’re still not obedient. Don’t you know what’s wrong with your body? It’s not like you don’t know how crazy that place is recently.. Why did you go there?”
