Chapter 172: Mo Family Gets Into Trouble (1)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Grandpa and Grandma Jian ate in silence. They minded their own business.

As a result, Jian Yuncheng was once again ignored. His eyes, which were usually cold and stern unconsciously, glanced at his sister and younger cousin from time to time.

If Huo Yu saw him like this, he would probably be happy for a few days.

After Jian Yiling finished her meal, she still didn’t speak to Jian Yuncheng. Instead, she got up and left for her study. Her mind was preoccupied with her work.

Jian Yiling didn’t think much of the situation. When they finished eating, everyone typically went off to do their own business.

Jian Yujie followed Jian Yiling. He had brought all his homework over to the Old Jian Residence.

And thus, both of them went to Jian Yiling’s study to do their own work.

Typically, Jian Yuncheng had quite a strong presence. However, the two of them completely ignored Jian Yuncheng.

Grandma Jian had also ignored Jian Yuncheng. She went to talk to her old friend on the phone. There was endless chatter that could be heard.

Fortunately, Grandpa Jian still noticed Jian Yuncheng’s presence. Jian Yuncheng got called over to Grandpa Jian’s study to discuss business matters.

When Mo Shiyun came back from school, she saw her mother trembling in tears.

“Mother, what’s wrong?”

Mo Sihyun immediately dropped her school bag and ran over to hug her mother.

As far as she could remember, the last time she’d seen her mother like this was when she was still very young. Back then, that bastard of a man hadn’t disappeared from their lives yet.

“Shiyun... What do we do? He’s back... He came back...”

Aunt Mo’s voice trembled in fear.

Her fear of He Jianjun was deeply engraved in her bones.

She could remember the years of pain that she suffered.

She knew it! Mo Shiyun knew that the man would come looking for her mother. Not only did he make a scene at school, but he also came to disturb their peaceful lives!

“Mother, don’t be scared. We’re not related to him anymore. We don’t have to be scared of him!” Mo Shiyun said as she comforted her mother.

“No... Shiyun... You don’t know... He and I... We’re not divorced yet...”

“What?!” Mo Shiyun cried out. She was incredibly confused when she heard her mother say such a thing.

“Back then, he had cheated on me. I just assumed that he would never return again.”

Aunt Mo hadn’t studied much in her life. As a result, she didn’t know what was going on.

Back then, she was preoccupied with earning money to support herself and her child. She didn’t think about anything else.

When Mo Shiyun heard this, she felt a chill go down her spine.

“Mother, let’s go and file a lawsuit. Let’s go and do that right now! He disappeared for so many years. He didn’t care for us a single bit! He had no right to be my father. Nor is he qualified to be your husband! Let’s file a lawsuit. The court will make sure that the divorce will happen!”

“But... I heard that it costs a lot of money to file a lawsuit... I...”

“Mother, didn’t you have some money saved up? Let’s use that money for the lawsuit. We can figure out the costs of my tuition later! There’s nothing more important than getting rid of that man first!”

“No...Shiyun... I... I don’t have that money anymore...”

“What happened? What do you mean? Where did the money go?”

“I lost it... The money is still trapped in the stock market...”

“Trapped in the stock market? Trapped?” Mo Shiyun questioned. She looked at her mother with a stunned expression on her face.

“I... I didn’t want to... I thought that I could make some money...”

“How much money did you lose?”

“All... All of it...”

Aunt Mo hung her head down. She looked incredibly mournful and devasted.

In the last two years, Aunt Mo had saved up around eighty to ninety thousand dollars. This was because the money for her daughter’s private school tuition had been paid by He Yan. The salary that she had received from her job at the Jian family had covered their living expenses. After covering the expenses, there was still a surplus of money.
