Chapter 80: Uncle’s Gift

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The next day, Lan Anran went to the appointment with Mo Changwen after school. She didn’t care even if there was a tail behind her, as it could better prove her innocence.

The cafe opposite the school was filled with students and Lan Anran was a famous person in the school. Hence, she received attention the moment she entered and many people started to have wild thoughts when they saw her sitting with an old man.

“Someone from the countryside wants to climb up the social ladder?”

“Is that man very rich?”

“Of course. Look at the Rolex watch, the new Italian suit, and the leather shoes. He must be a rich old man.”

They were whispering. It wasn’t loud, but Lan Anran had sharp ears. Even if she heard it, she didn’t have any reaction. She couldn’t be bothered with such boring things.

Mo Changwen drank his coffee and spoke first.

“Are you Lan Anran? I’m sorry I wasn’t there for the family banquet last time, so I wanted to get to know you again today.”

Lan Anran had a faint smile on her face. She knew in her heart that this old thing was just trying to buy her off and test her. Did he think she didn’t know?

“Hello, Uncle Mo, didn’t you let Aunt go for the family dinner last time? She didn’t tell you about it when she got home?”

Mo Changwen was stunned, thinking that she wasn’t simple. She looked gentle, yet spoke very forcefully.

“Your aunt spoke about it when she got home, she said that you were pretty, knowledgeable, and sensible. I just wanted to see what kind of person could be with Jinrong. You didn’t seem ordinary at first glance.”

“Uncle, don’t beat around the bush.”

Lan Anran didn’t like such polite words, it was a waste of time.

What a smart girl.

“Then I won’t beat around the bush. Anran, Jinrong has a strange temper. You probably don’t understand, but five of his wives died. Aren’t you afraid?”

Mo Changwen probed.

“I’m not afraid. In any case, my life is filled with evil spirits and I’ve jinxed many chickens, ducks, pigs, and dogs since I was a child. My family’s ancestral business was affected when I was born and there’s nothing to be afraid of with my tough life.”

Lan Anran spoke easily.

Mo Changwen clenched his fists and smiled.

“Anran, Jinrong is almost 30 and you’re still so young. Have you thought it through?”

“I think that it’s good for him to be old. Older men would be more mature and are more likely to take care of people. The Mo Family is such a big business, and Jinrong is older, so he won’t be able to take everything to the grave. Don’t you think so, Uncle?”

Lan Anran smiled.

Mo Changwen found her harder and harder to deal with. He nodded, took out a wad of cash from his pocket, and placed it on the table.

“Anran, this is a small gift, you can accept it. This is the first time I’m meeting you, so this is a gift. I hope that in the future, you can help me if I encounter any difficulties.”

It would be good if such a person could be persuaded to work for him, but if she wouldn’t work for him, he could only destroy her.

Lan Anran understood that this was Mo Changwen’s plan to subdue her. She smiled and looked at the money on the table.

“This is…”

“Not much, 100,000 yuan.”

Mo Changwen thought she was going to agree and spoke confidently.

How much money could a student have? 10,000 yuan was already too much for them.

“Uncle, I’ll accept this 100,000 yuan as a greeting gift. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, we can discuss it again. What do you think?”

Lan Anran stared at Mo Changwen with big watery eyes and a smile, sending chills down his spine.

It would be a waste not to accept the money. Since he said it was a greeting gift, was there a reason not to accept it?

Mo Changwen saw Lan Anran putting the 100,000 yuan into her bag. He wanted to stop her but couldn’t find the right words.

According to Mo Changwen, this 100,000 yuan was wasted. He might not even need her help in the future. This girl was too shrewd.

“Anran, you’re an adult and you should know some things. Siding with the wrong side will result in punishment. You’re still young and I don’t want to see Jinrong upset.”

Mo Changwen reminded her.

“Uncle, what do you mean? If you really don’t want to see Jinrong upset, you should know your place. For example, you should hide your illegitimate son well. Jinrong would be very upset if they had to fight each other.” Lan Anran reminded him.

In her past life, Mo Changwen had helped his illegitimate son become the heir to the Mo Family Corporation. She could still remember the scene of Mo Jinrong being ruthlessly stepped on by this illegitimate son.

What?

How did she know that he had a mistress and had an illegitimate child?

Mo Changwen was a little surprised. Was Lan Anran following him or secretly investigating him? No third person knew about this.

“Uncle, don’t be surprised. If you and I don’t say anything, no one will know. As for the help you mentioned in the future, I think if you can just behave yourself, there isn’t anything you will need my help with.”

Lan Anran stood up after saying this.

“Uncle, please help me pay for this coffee. I’m from the countryside and don’t have much money. I’ll have to save this 100,000 yuan for later, just in case Uncle might need to use it in the future.”

She turned around and left.

Mo Changwen was furious. She couldn’t be bribed and now he was being threatened. He clenched his fists.

I can’t let her live!

Lan Anran, you’re going to end up like those five women!
