Chapter 514 - REPORT ON THE MO FAMILY

LUO REN must say, his assistant was really proficient to gather this much information in just a short amount of time.  He carefully read the things on the paper.

The current head of the Mo family was Mo Guang Li.  His parents were both farmers and he grew up in a very poor environment.  But he didn't let that deter him.  He went to S City at the age of 16 and worked hard to climb up to where he was now.  He started as someone who was merely working five odd jobs at a time to someone who eventually owned a small business to the hotel owner he was now. 

This fact was almost an open secret to everyone in the hotel and restaurant industry.  Because Mo Guang Li relished in telling everyone his origin.  It showed just how proud he was of all the things he overcame just to be in the position he was now. 

Luo Ren approved greatly of that.  Because his father was also from a humble origin who started from scratch and with nothing to his name. 

Mo Guang Li's first wife was someone from the same village as him.  They grew up together and met again coincidentally at S City.  Not long after that, the two married.  They had a son and a daughter.  But 13 years ago, she died from stillbirth.  Mo Guang Li never remarried and gave all his love to his two children.  Especially her daughter who looked the splitting image of his then deceased wife.

No one expected that he would marry again.  But almost two years ago, he met a secretary of a small company and started to show interest in her.  A few months later, the two married.  This woman was Yu Jiao's mother.

So far, there was nothing alarming in the report Luo Ren was reading.  But what he read later, made him scowl. 

The daughter was a certified brat.  A lot of incidents from elementary to middle school showed her bullying other students with lesser status than her.  But all those incidents were brush off because of her father.  The fact that there were a lot of these 'incidents' meant that the girl never received a good scolding.

Mo Guang Li's affection for his daughter only had a negative effect.  His daughter became spoiled who mostly didn't know right from wrong.  Because in her opinion, whatever she was thinking was the right one.  And with no one correcting her, she just remained unchecked and unhinged. 

There was nothing in the report regarding Yu Jiao's treatment in the Mo household after her mother married Mo Guang Lin.  But looking at the fact that just after half a year of the marriage, Yu Jiao moved to Guizu Academy's dormitory already explained a lot.  And add that to this Mo Jian's character, Luo Ren could already imagine what Yu Jiao must have experienced.

He clenched the paper in his hand.  A lot of negative thoughts just entered his mind.  All of it was centered on the pain that Yu Jiao must have suffered.  Knowing her, she would definitely just hold it in.  Especially if the happiness of her mother was on the line. 

If she told her mother about Mo Jian's harassment, she would definitely side with her and that would definitely not go well with Mo Guang Li.  It might even put a strain on the relationship of the two.  Which Yu Jiao with her soft heart probably didn't want to happen.  So, she just chose to move out and be away from this new 'family'. 

Luo Yan said earlier that they were late for lunch because Mo Jian was trying to harass Yu Jiao.  If her mother continued to be married to Mo Guang Lin, then this harassment would definitely continue as well. 

He couldn't just tell Yu Jiao's mother to divorce the man.  So, the only way to stop this situation with the stepsister was through Mo Guang Li himself.

With that in mind, he called his assistant to his office.

"Scheduled a meeting between me and President Mo," he said.

The assistant was not really that surprised hearing that.  After all, his boss just asked him to gather information about the Mo family earlier.  But he did wonder what could Luo Ren want with Mo Guang Li.  He's not in the position to ask questions though.  It's only his job to assist his boss on whatever he wanted to do.

"Alright, sir.  I heard that Mr. Mo is currently eyeing a land to build a new chain of his hotel.  The land happened to have just been bought by our group last week.  Should I tell him that you are planning to discuss the land with him?"

Hearing that, Luo Ren nodded in approval.  Using that excuse, Mo Guang Li would definitely not hesitate to meet him personally.  This assistant of his was not only efficient but also had a quick mind. 

"Do just that," he said.

The assistant nodded and went out of his office.

Now that's settled, the only thing left to do was for him to meet Mo Guang Li and discuss his abominable parenting.

"Brother Ji Yun, I won't log in the game today," Luo Yan said to the person on the screen of his phone.  The two of them were having a video call.  "Let's just do some of the things we needed to do at the game tomorrow.  I'm just not in the mood today."

Like visiting the Crimson Corps or finally getting the reward for their 'Finnea's Curse' task.  He was just not really in the mood to play today.  Probably because of two-day preliminaries. 

"It's okay.  If Yan Yan is tired, then it's best to just rest," Shen Ji Yun said worriedly.  "It's better to do those things once you're in the mood."

Then he stopped.  The way he worded that just didn't come out right.  It's like he was suggesting something else.  That thought made his whole face burned.  Just what the hell was he thinking? 

"I- I think I still needed to write some report," he quickly said.  "Good night, Yan Yan!"

After saying that, the call just ended.

Luo Yan stared at the screen of his phone and then remembered Shen Ji Yun's blushing expression when he hung up the call.  Thinking back on their conversation, he immediately understood why the other reacted that way.

And he couldn't help but burst out laughing.  That poor innocent guy.  He wondered how Shen Ji Yun would react once they kissed or something?
