Jiang Qiu slammed the table and snatched the phone from the butler. “Tell Madam Xia to stop pretending! Her daughter isn’t even married yet!”

“H-How is that possible?! We have already sent Young Miss Xia off to get married. Please wait a moment while I get Madam Xia right away!” The housekeeper cried out in surprise.

Jiang Qiu’s eyes narrowed tightly. After a short while, a weak voice echoed from the phone, “Madam Mo, are you there?”

Jiang Qiu raised her eyebrows and replied, “Yes, I’m here. Do you not dare to answer my calls?”

The voice coming from the other side sounded like the person was crying as she spoke, “What are you talking about, Madam Mo? My daughter is about to get married, and I can’t take it…”

“Stop acting!” Jiang Qiu fiercely interrupted.

“I-I don’t know what you mean.” A startled voice rang from the phone.

“Don’t you know who your daughter is marrying?”Jiang Qiu’s tone became even more uninviting. She didn’t wait for the other person to reply and hung up the phone.

Soon after, the Mo family residence’s phone rang. The butler stood at the sidelines dutifully with his body slightly lowered and said to Jiang Qiu, “Madam Mo, Madam Xia is calling.”

Jiang Qiu frowned and took the phone from the butler. “What do you want?”

“Madam Mo, I’m afraid there’s been a misunderstanding between us.” Madam Xia’s voice carried a sense of urgency.

“What misunderstanding? Does your family dare to trick us?!” Jiang Qiu said sneeringly.

“I think you need to withdraw from Jiang City’s market as soon as possible!”

“D-Don’t say that!” Yao Qing’s tone became even more humble. “This is what happened, we dressed Xia Rou up in the morning, but we didn’t expect Xia Yan to hire someone to knock Xia Rou unconscious. Xia Yan even took her to the Dawn Manor!”

“Xia Rou had just gotten home, and we recently found out that the shameless b*tch, Xia Yan wanted to marry Mo He. I know that it’s the Xia family’s fault, but…” Yao Qing said, trying to sound as pitiful as possible.

Jiang Qiu rudely interrupted when she heard this, “That’s enough! My family will do as we see fit!” She hung up the phone and rubbed the sides of her head.

Seeing this, Qiu Xin approached Jiang Qiu and gently gave her shoulders a massage. “Don’t be so angry, Aunt Mo. You’ll put stress on your body.”

Jiang Qiu patted Qiu Xin’s hand with relief and sighed, “You’re the most considerate person I know, Qiu Xin.”

Qiu Xin lowered her head shyly. Then Jiang Qiu looked at Mo He, who sat nearby as he sulked. “What do you plan on doing, Mo He?”

“Send that woman back to the Xia family!” Mo He unkindly said as he glared fiercely at the documents before him.

Jiang Qiu glanced at the butler, and the butler immediately accepted the order. He proceeded to go upstairs and help the fake bride pack, but before the butler could reach the stairs, Mo He stood up and said, “Forget it!”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Qiu looked at Mo He worriedly.

“I don’t care who the Xia family sends anyway!” Mo He gritted his teeth and walked toward the study. “This marriage is just a collaboration with them. Let that woman stay!”

“B-But Mo He.” Qiu Xin quickly got up and chased after him. “Xia Yan is a detestable person. How can you tolerate her stay?” Qiu Xin grabbed Mo He’s sleeve, afraid that he would keep Xia Yan at their residence.

Qiu Xin was unwilling to let Mo He go through with the wedding when she heard he was to marry Xia Rou of the Xia family. Jiang Qiu had also mentioned that this was a collaboration between their family and the Xia family.

Although Mo He and Xia Rou hadn’t interacted much, he was handsome and rugged, while the other was the number one beauty in Jiang City. People would speak highly of this power couple.

Qiu Xin tried her best to persuade Jiang Qiu, but she only said that Mo He was highly opinionated. Even if Xia Rou was beautiful, she wasn’t worthy of being the young madam of the Mo family, as they were the number one aristocratic family in Jiang City.

However, no one expected Mo Yu not to care who he was marrying, while Jiang Qiu had no objections to this marriage. After all, Mo He never had a woman by his side, especially after the accident. He became even more reluctant to interact with any woman.

Since the two families had asked Mo He to get married, he decided to agree and have Xia Yan as a trophy wife. Mo He thought it would be better to marry one of the most beautiful women in Jiang City and add some charm to his family.

Qiu Xin failed to persuade Mo He. She could only grit her teeth and watch as her family welcomed the woman in a red wedding dress. But things were different now because the woman wasn’t Xia Rou.

Qiu Xin felt that she should seize the opportunity and rid Mo He of Xia Yan as quickly as possible. She blinked her eyes and looked at Mo He pitifully. “My heart ached for you, Mo He. I wonder how much others would laugh and mock us…”

Suddenly, Mo He turned and stared at Qiu Xin when he heard her words. He raised his eyebrows and sneered, “You think others would laugh at me?”

Qiu Xin realized she had misspoken and quickly defended herself, “N-No, Mo He. I-I didn’t mean that! I only thought that keeping that woman in the Mo family would affect your reputation…”

Mo He frowned as Qiu Xin realized she had misspoken again. She lowered her head and tried to find an excuse when Jiang Qiu stood up and walked toward the two. Jiang Qiu sighed and looked up at her tall son. “Qiu Xin is only worried about you. After all, we can’t trust Xia Yan.”

“Then she can never leave our family!” Mo He said rudely. He shook off Qiu Xin’s hand and stormed out of the living room.

Qiu Xin stood in place, her hands clenched into fists. She looked at Mo He as he left and gritted her teeth. “I must get rid of Xia Yan! I’m the only young mistress of the Mo family!”
