At this time, at the provincial hospital, in a VIP ward.
Mo Jialiang, who had just undergone surgery, lay on the hospital bed, groaning incessantly.
The piercing pain could not be completely alleviated even with painkillers.
"What exactly happened? Why did Chen Mo suddenly make a move against your eldest brother?" In the ward, Mo Chengguo asked sternly, his face ashen.
Mo Xiaojing still looked dazed and hadn't said a word.
Mo Chengguo then turned his gaze to Mo Jialong.
"I don't know either. You'll have to ask him. By the time we arrived, they were already fighting," Mo Jialong replied truthfully.
"Dad, you must avenge me. I'll be a cripple for the rest of my life! I will definitely make that Chen Mo pay!" Mo Jialiang was still groaning on the bed.
"Shut up! Do you even realize how much trouble you've brought upon our Mo family!" Mo Chengguo roared.
Mo Jialiang, however, was dismissive, "Dad, what trouble is there! If this matter is handled well, our Mo family will soar to prosperity from now on!"
"What matter?" Mo Chengguo asked with a frown.
"Dad, you should remember Yu Rou, right?" Mo Jialiang had decided to reveal everything at this point.
"I know. Is that girl related to this?" Mo Chengguo naturally remembered that Sun Yurou was Mo Jialiang's girlfriend.
Mo Jialiang said truthfully, "Dad, I'll tell you the truth, Sun Yurou is a descendant of the Sun family from Chenghai!"
"What did you say? The Sun family of Chenghai? That aristocratic family?" Mo Chengguo's expression clearly jolted.
Mo Xiaojing was also startled.
Chenghai was not far from their Longhua. Although it wasn't a major city, all the top families knew that Chenghai had a behemoth, the Sun family of Chenghai.
Although the Mo family of Longhua was a leading family in the business world, they were not ranked highly in the entire Jiangbei.
Especially those ancient martial arts families, they were not comparable to an ordinary family like theirs.
"What does this have to do with her?" Mo Chengguo asked with a grave expression.
"Dad, haven't you noticed that many people from ancient martial arts families have appeared in Longhua recently?"
Mo Chengguo nodded.
Mo Jialiang continued, "Actually, they came to Longhua to obtain something that Chen Mo has!"
"What thing?" For a moment, all three pairs of eyes turned to Mo Jialiang.
"It's a jade pendant, but I don't know its specific function. However, Yurou told me that it's inconvenient for people from ancient martial arts families to show themselves due to mutual apprehension. So, they asked me to act and find a way to get this jade pendant from Chen Mo."
"Once I help the Sun family obtain this jade pendant, the Sun family will agree to the marriage between Yurou and me. At that time, our Mo family will be related to the Sun family, wouldn't that be better than Chen Mo?"
Upon hearing Mo Jialiang's words, Mo Chengguo fell into deep thought.
Mo Jialong and Mo Xiaojing were both shocked.
Mo Xiaojing asked coldly, "Did you find people to deal with Chen Mo?"
Mo Jialiang glared at Mo Xiaojing despite his pain, "That's right, so what?"
"It's just that Chen Mo is lucky to be alive. The two assassins I hired couldn't kill him!"
"This time, I originally wanted to threaten Chen Mo with the life of that person named Xiao Wen, but before I could succeed, this kid came to our door. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"
"Also, if it weren't for you two, Chen Mo would have definitely not escaped back then! If we caught him, would we still be afraid of not getting the jade pendant?"
Mo Xiaojing's expression stiffened, and she stood rooted to the spot.
She finally understood why Chen Mo had asked her that question, and why his eyes had shown disappointment after she answered.
"Hmph, it's useless to regret it now. Now that the kid is on guard, it will be difficult to catch him again," Mo Jialiang snorted angrily.
"But, do you know his identity?" Mo Xiaojing suddenly asked.
"Doesn't he just have some money? Our Mo family doesn't lack money now, but connections," Mo Jialiang said with disdain.
"Then do you know that he is Qin Yuyan's brother?" Mo Xiaojing said again.
"Who did you say?" Mo Jialiang's expression jolted.
He didn't know much about Chen Mo, only thinking that he was a wealthy ordinary person.
At this moment, Mo Jialong stepped forward, "Chen Mo's sister is Qin Yuyan! You can't possibly not know Qin Yuyan's connections, right?"
"If it weren't for Chen Mo's relationship with my sister, do you think Boss Qin would entrust such a large business to us?"
"Instead, you're courting death by causing trouble for Chen Mo. If Boss Qin finds out, no matter who your girlfriend is, I guarantee that Boss Qin will never let you off!"
"Gulp!"
Mo Jialiang couldn't help but swallow.
Then he looked at Mo Chengguo in shock, "Dad, is Chen Mo's sister really Qin Yuyan?"
Mo Chengguo nodded.
Boom!
After Mo Jialiang received this answer, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his eyes widening in astonishment.
Mo Jialong couldn't help but sneer, "You really thought you could rise to prominence by marrying a woman? Compared to Chen Mo, that woman is just trash!"
"Moreover, how much benefit do you think the Sun family will give us? It's probably not as useful as a single word from Boss Qin!"
Mo Jialiang was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
He knew that Mo Jialong was right.
Marrying into the Sun family would indeed make them untouchable, but for them, who were established in the business world, it wouldn't be of much use.
What's more, Sun Yurou was not a direct descendant of the Sun family, but merely a junior from a collateral branch.
"You idiot! Do you know how much disaster you've brought upon our Mo family with your supposed cleverness!" Mo Chengguo was so angry that his face turned green.
If it weren't for Mo Jialiang having just undergone surgery, Mo Chengguo would have likely already dealt with this unfilial son.
Then, Mo Chengguo quickly looked at Mo Xiaojing, "Xiaojing, tomorrow morning, you will go and apologize to Chen Mo. To show our sincerity, Mo Jialiang will be expelled from the Mo family from now on and removed from the family tree!"
"What!"
Upon hearing that Mo Chengguo was going to remove him from the family tree, Mo Jialiang panicked completely, "Dad, I did it for the Mo family too."
"For the Mo family? If it weren't for you, would the Mo family be in such a dangerous situation? You attempted to assassinate Chen Mo twice, and it's already a blessing that Chen Mo didn't kill you!"
"I will find you a stable job. From now on, you'll have to live on your own."
After speaking, Mo Chengguo didn't even look at Mo Jialiang again.
He then looked at Mo Xiaojing and said, "Daughter, our Mo family is counting on you this time!"
A few tears trickled down Mo Xiaojing's cheeks.
She had thoroughly hurt Chen Mo's heart and knew that it would be difficult for them to return to how they were before.
The next morning, Chen Mo and Tian Mengyao woke up.
After breakfast, Chen Mo and the two went downstairs to prepare to go to the hospital for work.
While they were eating, Chen Mo suddenly received a call from his seventh sister, saying that he should bring Tian Mengyao to the evening banquet.
