Chapter 50: Settling Scores
“I was wondering who was back. So it’s you. What’s wrong? You should have just arrived at school not long ago. It’s fine if you don’t study hard and can’t improve your results, but now you’re so bold that you even dare to skip class?”
The woman’s tone was mockingly cold. It seemed like she often spoke to Jiang Yu in this manner.
She had originally wanted to sneak back to her room to rest, but now that she was in this situation, Jiang Yu could only admit defeat with a frown.
“I’m not feeling well today. I’ve already applied for leave from the teacher…”
Jiang Yu’s voice was weak, but Qiu Ying’s first reaction was that this child was pretending to be weak again. She touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and continued mocking her.
“Oh my, there are really more and more tricks up your sleeve now. You’re skipping class and you still dare to use your discomfort as a cover. You really make me feel ashamed of you. I guess that’s how an illegitimate child is, no matter how you teach her, she won’t turn into a good one!”
As soon as these words came out of the computer, Xu Huan subconsciously looked at Mo Zhu. As expected, the girl bit her lip tightly, and her eyes looked like they were about to spit fire.
Oh no, oh no. Little Bamboo was really angry now. The head of the Zhong family should pray for his safety.
Sensing Mo Zhu’s anger, Huo Xuan gently held onto the girl’s hand and patted it gently as he comforted her, “Don’t be so angry, you’ll hurt your health. It’s not worth getting so angry over a small Zhong family!”
Mo Zhu didn’t speak. She took her hand out of Huo Xuan’s grip and started pressing on the computer screen again. In a few minutes, more images were pulled out by the girl.
Without exception, all of them were videos of Jiang Yu being bullied and humiliated in the Zhong family. Mo Zhu couldn’t hold it in anymore. She lowered her head, took out her phone, and tapped the screen a few times. She said seriously, “Send me to Huaxing Building.”
Huaxing was a business street that had only risen in recent years. Many companies and groups with more popular businesses in Cloud City chose to locate their offices in the office buildings there.
It seemed like Mo Zhu wanted to look for the head of the Zhong family to settle this matter personally.
On the 17th floor of the Huaxing Building.
Mo Zhu led the two of them straight into the Zhong Corporation’s office. A few higher-ups wanted to stop them, but when they saw Huo Xuan and Xu Huan, they stood rooted to the ground in fear.
“Ask your President Zhong to come out. I have something to ask him in person.” Mo Zhu came to the desk marked with the term ‘President’s administrative assistant’ and gently tapped the wooden table.
“O… okay!” The person who replied to her was Zhong Zhe’s special assistant. He had happened to discuss business with Zhong Zhe a few times and had seen the face of the Huo family’s young master. Now that he saw Mo Zhu storming over with Huo Xuan, he was so frightened that he couldn’t even speak properly.
In no time, Zhong Zhe, who was wearing a Couture suit, arrived in front of everyone. He calmed the staff of the company down and looked at Mo Zhu as he spoke with fear and trepidation.
“Ms. Mo, what brings you here? Do you have any instructions for me?”
“Young Master Huo and Young Master Xu are here too. Your presence brings light to our humble house!” A few drops of cold sweat appeared on the man’s forehead as he spoke. What day was it today? Why were these big shots whom he couldn’t afford to offend here in his office?
When Zhong Zhe said this, Huo Xuan and Xu Huan were also stunned. This person had addressed Mo Zhu first. Could it be that the two people in front of them knew each other from the start?
Seeing the reaction of the head of the Zhong family, Mo Zhu’s obviously had a relatively high status. The two men secretly looked at each other. This young lady’s true identity was of high influence. She had indeed hidden her abilities well!
“There’s no need to say more pleasantries. I came to look for you to talk about Jiang Yu.” Mo Zhu looked at Zhong Zhe’s fawning smile. She stared at the man with her sharp eyes and he trembled in fear.
“Alright, alright. Let’s go to the lounge and talk about it in detail. It’s not very convenient with so many people here…”
The man looked up at Huo Xuan and Xu Huan, unable to make up his mind.
“Together?” Huo Xuan retracted his gaze and looked at Mo Zhu as he spoke.
“Anything.”
Mo Zhu did not even look up. After agreeing, she said to Zhong Zhe, “Lead the way.”
In the living room, an assistant had already filled up the teacups with tea. Mo Zhu sat opposite Zhong Zhe and said, “This time, I’m here to talk to you about taking Jiang Yu away. From what I understand, Mr. Zhong doesn’t seem to be able to take good care of her. In that case, it’s better if I just take her away.”
Zhong Zhe was shocked. He stood up abruptly and replied anxiously, “What do you mean by that, Ms. Mo? Xiao Yu has been living well in the Zhong family and our family has taken good care of her. There are no shortcomings in any aspect. Why are we not capable enough?”
Mo Zhu glanced at him indifferently and did not say anything. She took out her phone from her pocket and played a video that she had screen recorded in the car just now.
On the screen was a short scene of the Zhong family bullying Jiang Yu.
“Take a look for yourself. I have more than one piece of similar evidence, you might not even be able to finish watching them in three days and three nights. In order to prevent such a thing from happening again, I can only resort to this. Who can feel assured with Jiang Yu staying in the Zhong Family, a place where they eat people up and spit out their bones?!”
Mo Zhu was already extremely angry. The low roar in her voice sounded as if she wanted to eat the man up.
