Chapter 18: Possessed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mo Xuan was a little distracted for the entire day. Whether it was being cuckolded or actually being lied to by that stupid woman.

Looking at the proposal in front of him, Mo Xuan was furious. He swept his gaze across the table and the documents on the table fell to the ground.

Before Mo Xuan could get angry, his phone rang.

“Hello? Who is it?” Mo Xuan was not in a good mood.

The person on the other end was a woman. From her voice, she sounded like a young woman. “Second Young Master Mo, you sound so angry. What happened?”

Mo Xuan choked. He wondered what it had to do with that person? He did not even know who the person on the other end was.

Before Mo Xuan could answer, the person on the other end said, “You are also a pitiful person. You were actually fooled by a slut. Sigh, in the end, it is also because you are not the first successor of the Mo family.”

Mo Xuan’s breathing suddenly stopped.

She hit the nail on the head. These words hit the bottom of his heart.

Mo Xuan was still brooding over the fact that he was not the first successor of the Mo family. He had also tried his best to bring down Mo Ting and take his place.

“In the end, it is because he does not have enough power. If it was Mo Ting, would that woman dare to do this?” The other side continued to fan the flames. Her voice was like a hook, making Mo Xuan’s heart itch.

“What do you mean? I’ve never thought of becoming the head of the Mo family.”

The person on the other end seemed to have expected Mo Xuan’s reply. Hearing this, she smiled lightly. “Yes, you are the kindest. You would never do such a treacherous thing. However, are you really okay with it?”

Mo Xuan seemed to have been bewitched as he held his phone in a daze. He listened to the person on the other end and said, “Are you really willing to see Mo Ting give up nothing while getting everything that you want? Money, power, beauty, and the attention of Elder Mo, all while you can only live like a pitiful wretch, relying on Mo Ting’s charity.”

These words could not be described as malicious.

“Enough, don’t say another word! Don’t say anything more!”

The person on the other end insisted on continuing. Her voice became softer and softer. “Think about it. If you have power, will there be anything you want that you can’t get? When that time comes, you can step on Mo Ting. Life and death will be under your control.”

Mo Xuan’s breathing became even more rapid. His face was red and his ears were too. The hand that was holding the phone was trembling slightly. After a long while, Mo Xuan finally calmed down and asked softly, “What intentions do you have by saying all this?”

When the person on the other side saw that she had achieved her goal, she said in a gentle voice, “I will naturally help you achieve your goal by saying all this. How about it? Do you want to cooperate?”

The dazzling sunlight shone on Mo Xuan’s body, causing him to break out in cold sweat for no reason. Listening to the other party’s plan, Mo Xuan was terrified, but at the same time, he felt that this was a good method.

His rationality gradually became thin under the temptation of benefits.

Finally, Mo Xuan leaned against the back of the chair. He heard himself say word by word, “Okay, let’s cooperate.”

The other end of the phone hung up after saying a few more words.

Mo Xuan looked at the reflection of himself on the computer screen. His appearance was about half similar to Mo Ting’s. His face was cold and he didn’t speak. He looked more like Mo Ting.

But he wasn’t.

“I will replace Mo Ting and become the new leader of the Mo family.”

In the middle of the afternoon, the assistant stuck his head out through the half-body glass window and saw Mo Xuan tidying his hair in front of the computer as if he had been injected with stimulants. His heart trembled and he slowly sat back down while touching his heart.

It was too scary. Could President Mo have been possessed?

Chi Xiao was pushing Mo Ting as they walked in the courtyard of the Mo family. The warm sun was shining on Mo Ting’s body.

“It’s a good thing to bask in the sun. Look at your white skin. It’s obvious that you lack calcium.” Chi Xiao mumbled as she found a seat and sat down.

Mo Ting blinked his eyes. He didn’t quite understand the relationship between white skin and calcium deficiency.

“Are you going to have another relapse in half a month?”

Mo Ting softly acknowledged and turned his handsome face towards Chi Xiao. “It’s also the time to be critically ill.”

Chi Xiao ridiculed him without leaving a trace. “You have to be careful. Don’t scare your grandfather too much.”

As she said this, Chi Xiao felt a little strange. “I feel like your father and you aren’t close. Is there some conflict between the two of you?” As she said this, Chi Xiao even sighed a little. “I don’t know what’s going on with your father. Seeing that you’re seriously ill, I can’t tell if he’s anxious or not.”

Hearing this, Mo Ting chuckled and said gently, “Indeed, we’re not close.”

As he spoke, his voice suddenly turned cold. “It’s just a very cliché story. Before my father got married, he had a true love, but his true love was an ordinary person. My grandfather broke up the couple and insisted that my father marry my mother. After that, he had me.”

Chi Xiao thought for a moment and asked,” Is your father still attached to that true love?”

Mo Ting sneered. “Yes, it has never been broken. That woman is so obedient. She has never done anything funny in front of me.”

Chi Xiao paused. She placed her finger on Mo Ting’s wheelchair and tapped it twice. “I don’t know if you’ve heard that a dog that bites people… doesn’t bark.”

“Yes, so the dog has to be tied up properly. You can’t just leave it outside and let it walk around. Is this the one?” Mo Ting placed his hand on Chi Xiao’s and closed his eyes comfortably..
