When Lin Yin and Chu Yi heard that, they finally understood what was bothering their daughter. All that fuss, and it turned out that she had lost her self-confidence in Mo Yang’s presence.

In the entire capital, no one could rival the child. It was true that most girls lost their self-assurance around him.

When Chu Yue was young, she had always been with Mo Yang and was used to it. At that time, she did not understand such things. When she grew up a little and was starting to comprehend, they had been together for so many years that it bridged the gap.

But now that Mo Yang had been away for so long and only recently returned, Chu Yue naturally revealed the gap that she felt and her lack of self-confidence.

Chu Yi smiled and said, “Yue Yue, it is true that as a whole, the Mo family is much more powerful than our family. In fact, the gap is larger than you imagine. The things that your classmates discuss are far from the peak of the Mo family’s true power.

!!

“Let me put it this way! When Mo Beihan went overseas to study, in the years that he stayed overseas with your Aunt Gu, he had already become an international force to be reckoned with. Even then, I could not compete with him.

“Later on, I found out that your Aunt Gu is in no way inferior to your Uncle Mo, although she always kept a low profile. But she’s in a different line from your Uncle Mo. She’s mostly in industry management.

“Your Aunt Gu has amassed many antiques that are currently priceless. Aren’t there rumors that the Mo family has a lot of property in the capital and other cities? They even have many commercial properties and buildings?”

Chu Yue nodded. “Right, right, right. Many classmates say that the Mo family owns not just one, but many such properties.”

Chu Yi laughed and said, “Actually, they own many more than you can imagine. The Mo family is too wealthy. In order to avoid envy, they keep many of their holdings a secret and never reveal them to the public.

“Just the ones that I know about already comprise many, many properties. They will certainly have others that they hold privately and which I am not aware of. Actually, when it comes to property, they have property throughout the world.”

Chu Yue: “…”

Chu Yi laughed at his daughter’s shock. “I’m telling you this to explain to you that at Mo Yang’s level, he does not need to consider the family background. He can fancy any girl in the capital. No one will feel self-assured in his presence if they’re depending on family background.”

“I can tell you honestly that Mo Yang went to Europe to study in order to take care of his father’s business. It was also a form of training. His studying was just incidental.”

Chu Yue was shocked. She said incredulously, “He has two master’s degrees, and you say they were incidental?”

Chu Yi nodded. “Absolutely!”

Chu Yue: “…”

Oh no, oh no, oh no!

Since she was young, she had known that Mo Yang was a top student. But she had not realized that as he grew, his skills had grown until they were nearly supernatural. She would never catch up.

When Lin Yin saw her daughter’s crushed expression, she laughed and said, “What’s the matter? Feeling inferior?”

Chu Yue said bitterly, “Mother, who would dare to pursue such an outstanding person?”

“But that outstanding person likes you, which shows that our Yue Yue has her unique charm!”

Chu Yue was stunned and unable to respond!

Lin Yin laughed and patted her daughter’s hand. “Yue Yue, Mother can tell how Mo Yang feels towards you! There are all kinds of love! No romance is identical.

“So don’t feel that he didn’t have feelings for you because you were so young when he left. Let me tell you, sometimes it only takes a second to fall in love with someone. There’s such a thing as love at first sight.”
