Chapter 146: 146 Zhao Yiling’s Plan (Three Updates)

At that point, Zhao Yiling’s eyes filled with a bright light, as if the figure, celestial in its beauty, appeared before her once again.

For a moment, her heartbeat quickened.

"Ling’er, what nonsense are you talking about!" Li Ruyu interrupted Zhao Yiling’s daydream sternly, "Even if that Mo Zhixuan is an immortal, I can’t let you marry him! Have you forgotten how his previous 18 wives died?"

How could she let her own daughter take such a risk at a time like this!

"I don’t care!" Zhao Yiling looked at Li Ruyu, her voice firm, "I just want to marry him! I won’t marry anyone else but him!"

As long as she could take the position of the Mo family’s matriarch, there would be nothing and no one in Capital City she need fear.

"Oh, my silly daughter, what evil has possessed you to speak such nonsense!" Li Ruyu was so anxious she was close to tears.

"I’m not possessed, I am very clear-headed. Mother, I must marry Mo Zhixuan!"

Zhao Yiling’s gaze was fixed on Li Ruyu. "Think about it, if I marry Mo Zhixuan, you will be the mother-in-law of the Mo family’s head. Once you become the Mo family’s mother-in-law, not a single one of the ladies of Capital City would dare look down on you. Then, you will be the elder among them! Centered around you they must be."

Li Ruyu sighed, though she too longed for that kind of life, she couldn’t gamble with her daughter’s life to achieve it.

Thus, taking Zhao Yiling’s hand, she advised her earnestly and at length.

"That’s easy to say, but don’t forget, Mo Zhixuan is said to bring misfortune to his wives. Ling’er, if something isn’t ours to begin with, we shouldn’t force it. For now, just focus on implementing ’Plan Z’ properly. All else is fleeting, and being well is better than anything!"

As she said this, Li Ruyu paused slightly, then continued, "Besides, now you have the support of Jun Ao Group. In time, Capital City will be yours. Why take such a risk to marry a devil?"

Zhao Yiling smiled gently, trying to persuade her mother.

"Mother, haven’t you ever heard the saying, ’Fortune favors the bold’? Without trying, how can you be so sure that the head of the Mo family brings misfortune? You used to say he was an old man, but in reality, he’s barely over thirty, and he’s very handsome! He is far better than all those fledgling boys I’ve seen!"

Hearing Zhao Yiling speak like this, Li Ruyu looked up in surprise, asking, "Is the head of the Mo family better looking than Li Hanjiang?"

Li Hanjiang was the most handsome man she had ever seen, and she had once considered him a prospective son-in-law.

If the head of the Mo family was more striking than Li Hanjiang, he would be an excellent choice for a son-in-law.

After all, the Li family was not even close to the Mo family’s league, falling short by more than a hundred ranks.

Zhao Yiling laughed dismissively, "What’s Li Hanjiang compared to him! Li Hanjiang can’t even hold a candle to the head of the Mo family! And besides, don’t you always say that Li Hanjiang is a big shot in Capital City? I’m telling you, even that so-called big shot has to bow and scrape before him."

More commanding than Li Hanjiang!

And handsomer than Li Hanjiang as well.

Li Ruyu was moved, she took out a tissue to wipe away her tears, "Ling’er, is everything you said... true?"

"Of course!" Zhao Yiling nodded without hesitation, "I saw it with my own eyes – how could it be false! So, please agree, Mother. I am determined to marry the head of the Mo family."

"This..." Li Ruyu was still hesitant. No matter what, she couldn’t gamble with Zhao Yiling’s life, "But what about the curse?"

There were already 18 chilling examples before her, how could she let her own daughter take such a risk?

"Mother, let’s not worry about whether the curse exists. Even if it does, so what! Didn’t the old Mo lady say that only a woman of extreme yin could potentially contain the curse of the Mo family head?"

Right, the old lady of Mo family had indeed said that.

Only a woman of extreme yin could contain the curse that affected the head of the Mo family.

Li Ruyu’s heart was wavering, and after weighing her options, she finally said, "Ling’er, I can’t decide on this matter alone, let’s wait for your father to return, and I’ll discuss it with him."

Indeed, compared to Li Hanjiang,

The head of the Mo family was indeed much more outstanding.

Seeing Li Ruyu like this, Zhao Yiling knew that the matter was more or less decided, and she hugged her. "Mother, you are so good. If you agree, I believe Father will surely agree as well."

"Silly child," Li Ruyu smiled teasingly as she patted Zhao Yiling’s hand.

Suddenly frowning, she swiftly grabbed Zhao Yiling’s hand and asked urgently, "Ling’er, where is your bracelet?"

Zhao Yiling’s face changed slightly, "The bracelet... it’s lost..."

She instinctively concealed the true nature of the situation.

If Li Ruyu knew that the bracelet was forcibly taken by Mo Zhixuan, she definitely wouldn’t agree to marry him.

"What! Lost?" Li Ruyu’s complexion changed, her heart bleeding, "How could you lose such a precious item? Where did you lose it? Did you have someone look for it?"

"Lost is lost!" Zhao Yiling pretended not to care, "Anyway, once I marry into the Mo family, what good things won’t I have? Why care about one bracelet!"

Once she married into the Mo family, by that time she would be the wife of the Mo family head. Would she be afraid that he wouldn’t return the Blood Jade Bracelet to her?

Everything was hers anyway, just temporarily kept at the Mo family.

No, that place would become her home in the future.

"What do you mean ’just a bracelet’!" Li Ruyu said furiously, "That’s the Mo family’s family heirloom, the only one in the world. Such a fine item, tell me, how could you just lose it!"

If only she had known earlier, she would have pawned it. That bracelet was so fine, it must be worth a lot of money.

Maybe it could sell for several hundred million!

Zhao Yiling also became angry, "Isn’t it all your fault! If you hadn’t pushed this marriage onto that good-for-nothing, now I would have been the wife-to-be of the Mo family head! If I were the Mo family head’s fiancée, that bracelet wouldn’t have been lost! You see, such a good situation was forcefully pushed onto that good-for-nothing by you. Now everyone in the Mo family knows that Chu Jin is the Mo family head’s fiancée. How do you expect me to face this!"

The more she talked, the angrier Zhao Yiling became.

How wonderful it would have been if the person engaged to Mo Zhixuan had been herself!

Unfortunately, she was robbed by that totally worthless good-for-nothing.

"What does this have to do with me?" Li Ruyu widened her eyes, "You were against this marriage at the beginning! Now you’re blaming me, I was only thinking of your best interest. Which mother in the world would want to watch her daughter walk to her death with her eyes wide open!"

The anger on Zhao Yiling’s face gradually subsided.

She now deeply regretted her decision back then.

But it still wasn’t too late, once that good-for-nothing died, she would be the only extremely yin girl left and the Mo family would have no other choice.

"Alright, mom, don’t be angry. I was just too impulsive. Calm down," Zhao Yiling soothed Li Ruyu while speaking, "Don’t worry, after I marry into the Mo family, I will definitely take good care of you."

Hearing Zhao Yiling say this, Li Ruyu’s heart swelled with joy and all her anger dissipated.

She could almost see the scene of all the ladies of wealth in Capital City revolving around her. Pleased, she said, "Good, good, good, I’m not angry, our Ling’er is so understanding."

Upstairs, after Chu Jin went up, she reviewed today’s lessons again and then worked on some math problems.

Only then did she slowly open the white box that Mo Zhixuan had stuffed into her hand.

Inside the box was a white phone of a well-known brand.

The SIM card and everything were already set up; as soon as she turned it on, several text message alerts sounded.

All were bank notifications.

It was then that Chu Jin realized that this was actually the same number she had used before.

Cancelling a number and such, aren’t those things that only the owner can handle at the service hall? How did this person manage it so easily?

Chu Jin slightly raised her eyebrows and opened the messages.

She was stunned by what she saw on the phone display.

Customer Xinran transferred 5,000,000 into your card ending in 778 at the bank.

Customer Qingyi transferred 10,000,000 into your card ending in 778 at the bank.

Customer Jin Yong transferred 15,000,000 into your card ending in 778 at the bank.

In just a few minutes, her account had gained tens of millions, and effortlessly, too.

Had they transferred it to the wrong person?
