Chapter 176 - A Thorn In Her Eyes (2)

This was why Su Xiaofei had high regards for Lu Qingfeng\'s right-hand man. Even when Lu Qingfeng had handed the company to his adopted son, Nine remained by his side and worked as his personal butler.

As Su Xiaofei thought about the past, she didn\'t realize that Lu Qingfeng had arrived and taken a seat next to her in the library.

"You\'re alone? Does Xi Qian have an early shift today?" Lu Qingfeng asked, pulling Su Xiaofei out of her thoughts.

The young woman blinked twice and nodded. She had agreed to meet him here today after her class ended.

"En. She just left. You didn\'t see her?" Su Xiaofei replied.

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

"No. She probably took the east exit." There were two routes to reach the library anyway.

"So…" Su Xiaofei lowered her voice and gently tapped her pen on her notebook. "Did Nine find something?"

"Of course. We are talking about Nine here." Lu Qingfeng replied with a smirk. "He just sent the report to me."

Su Xiaofei leaned closer, making sure that they were out of everyone\'s earshot, not knowing that by moving closer, she was allowing Lu Qingfeng to get a closer look at her face.

"So what is it?" She whispered to him.

Lu Qingfeng blinked and forced himself to calm down and focus.

"Mo Yuan will arrive in a week. Since Mo Yuchen has recently joined Golden Star, it is only natural that Mo Yuan\'s mother is worried about the future of her young son."

Su Xiaofei nodded in understanding.

"She feels threatened. Mo Yuchen had started making his move and yet, her son was still wasting his time overseas."

However, what Mo Yuan\'s mother didn\'t know was that she was only pushing her own son to his death by asking Mo Yuan to come home at this time.

"What about Mo Yuchen? What is he up to?" She asked her childhood friend. Su Xiaofei then thought that she owed Lu Qingfeng big time for this.

"No movement from his end, but someone did instead of him."

Su Xiaofei snapped her head and faced him.

"Then who is it?"

"Old Matriarch Mo. She sent someone to keep an eye on Mo Yuan." Lu Qingfeng replied.

Su Xiaofei furrowed her brows and fell silent. So it was actually that old woman? She would have never assumed that the old woman was capable of harming her own grandson.? Was Mo Yuchen the only one in her eyes?

In her previous life, she didn\'t have a good relationship with Mo Yuchen\'s grandmother. The old woman looked very dissatisfied when she looked at Su Xiaofei. Su Xiaofei used to admire the old matriarch and her home.

The first time she visited the small manor where Elder Mo and the old matriarch lived, Su Xiaofei was envious of the elegance of their abode. But now, as she thought about it, those lavishnesses were superficial as the whole Mo family was corrupted on the inside.

That old woman was very particular about appearances and although Su Xiaofei was confident with her appearance, the old woman always nitpicked on her. Old Matriarch Mo would always criticize her for wearing expensive designer clothes and would chastise her for not being frugal.

The old Su Xiaofei, who never tasted bitterness in her whole life because she was pampered by her mother, didn\'t understand why the old woman was being hard on her. If she dressed down, the old woman would say that she looked too dull and her clothes weren\'t appropriate for her status.

Old Matriarch Mo occasionally berated her for still not conceiving a child after years of being married to Mo Yuchen. This old woman usually had an air of arrogance and when she opened her mouth, it only reminded them of her poor upbringing.

Actually it was known that Matriarch Mo didn\'t get along with her son\'s new wife, Lan Xiaoju, Mo Yuan\'s mother, as for the reason why, not many were aware of it.

If Su Xiaofei hadn\'t overheard the Mo family\'s gossiping household maids, she would have never guessed that Old Matriarch Mo wasn\'t the original wife of Elder Mo, but was a mistress he kept for a long time, only marrying her when the lawfully wedded wife had died.

The original wife was known to come from a prominent family, unlike Old Matriarch Mo whom the Elder Mo only met at one of his business meetings while she was working as a server. With her beauty, she was able to get his attention, thus the beginning of their long-term affair behind Elder Mo\'s wife.

Su Xiaofei could only shake her head as she thought about it now. Perhaps the old woman didn\'t like being reminded of what she was before becoming the madam of a wealthy family, and so Mo Yuan\'s mother\'s existence was a sore in her eyes.

To be fair, Lan Xiaoju wasn\'t Mo Yuchen\'s father\'s mistress, but a good friend who helped him when Mo Yuchen\'s mother fell ill and got bedridden. He had met her at the hospital, where he frequently brought his wife for examinations. She was working as a doctor there.

"I didn\'t think that her feud with Madam Mo was this serious, hmm…"

"She\'s Mo Yuchen\'s biggest supporter, and since she favored him, it is only natural that she would block the younger brother from stealing the spotlight." Lu Qingfeng shrugged.. "It\'s normal for families such as the Mo family to have these secrets."
