Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

As the words left Mo Jianming’s mouth, they immediately sparked discussion amongst everyone.

Most of the Mo family members had been notified by Mo Jianming to gather here early in the morning, but they were really in the dark and had no idea what had happened until this moment. Hearing that Mo Shiting had a fake marriage, they were all taken aback.

Some people didn’t care who was in charge of the Mo family, as long as they received dividends every year, they were satisfied.

Furthermore, the development of the Mo family over the past few years was obvious to all, and all this was due to Mo Shiting’s efforts.

Therefore, they were happy to continue letting Mo Shiting hold power.

Of course, many also supported Mo Jianming.

These people, before Mo Shiting came to power, had gained a lot from the Mo

group.

However, Mo Shiting was fair and stern, showing no nepotism. With a series of hardline measures, they could no longer get any benefits.

No matter how competent such a president was, it didn’t impress them.

Old Master Mo observed their various scheming details, unable to stop himself from laughing to himself.

Dismissing Mo Shiting and choosing someone else?

What a nerve they had to suggest this.

Whoever gave them the illusion that the Mo family could still be number one in Hua Country, ranking among the top ten in the world without Mo Shiting?

A bunch of short-sighted spendthrifts!

The more Old Master Mo thought about it, the worse his mood became, but he

still remained silent.

Because he was waiting for them to present their evidence.

Seeing him not speak, one of the elders with white hair couldn’t help but shake his cane: “Shaoyuan, how could that kid, Shiting, fool us like this? Where does he place the rules of the Mo family that have been passed down for hundreds of years? Where is he? Why isn’t he here? Is it right for him to be absent when such a serious incident has occurred?

The person who spoke was the eldest of the entire Mo Family, Mo Xingxian, who was also Old Master Mo’s younger uncle.

He was nearly a hundred years old and generally kept a low profile. If it hadn’t been for Mo Jianming’s call to him the night before, informing him about Mo Shiting’s situation in advance, he wouldn’t have shown up.

Mo Shaoyuan pursed his lips and gave a slight nod to Mo Xingxian, explaining: “Uncle, I just found out that everyone was here, so I sent someone to call

Shiting over.”

“Uncle, the fact that Shiting got into a fake marriage is set in stone. Actually, even if he were here, it wouldn’t change anything.

Mo Jianyu adjusted the glasses on his nose, supporting his elder brother Mo Jianming, “I agree with my elder brother. Shiting is indeed competent, but he has done dishonest things, and has already lost the most basic trust. Why should we believe that he doesn’t have a hidden agenda for the group?

“Yes, yes, ability is one thing, but character is more important than ability.”

“I also support holding a board meeting to vote again.”

“I support!”

Shouldn’t we wait for Shiting to hear what he has to say?

“What’s there to say? Would Jianming falsely accuse his own nephew?”

“I think that considering age and experience, Jianming could well take the position of president. Shiting is still young, in ten or eight years, then giving him the position, wouldn’t that be good?”

Everyone started to voice their opinions.

“Shut up, all of you!”

Mo Shaoyuan finally lost his patience and roared, “Character is indeed more important than ability, but who among you here can guarantee that you’ve never told a lie, never done anything that lets the group down?”

The forceful question threw the whole room into silence.

*Cough Cough…*

Perhaps it was him getting too worked up, Old Master Mo couldn’t help but cough a few times before continuing, “Are there any issues with Gu Li, the girl I’ve chosen as my granddaughter-in-law, or my arrangement for her to marry Shiting?”

“Uncle, please don’t get excited. As for you, we certainly have no objections.” Mo Jianming smiled, “If these two people were really getting married, we would of course be happy for them. But this time, Shiting has really tricked even you. I’ve investigated-these two people have gone to the civil affairs bureau for a divorce just a few days ago, but because of the new cooling-off period policy enacted by the country, they couldn’t get a divorce. It is clear these two are in a fake marriage.”

“Hmm.”

Mo Shaoyuan chuckled coldly, “Having a conflict and going for a divorce, does that mean it’s a fake marriage?”

“Normal people wouldn’t do this.”

Mo Jianming explained.

His words were instantly rebutted by Mo Shaoyuan, “That’s perverse logic! Just because of a minor matter, you’re making a big fuss and dragging everyone here. Jianming, you’ve really disappointed your uncle.

Claiming righteousness, Mo Jianming said, “We just want to wake Shiting up, so as not to make any bigger mistakes in the future.”

“Shaoyuan, we should still treat this fairly. We cannot favor Shiting, but we shouldn’t wrong him either.”

Mo Xingxian spoke up again.

“Okay.”

Mo Shaoyuan nodded, then looked at Mo Jianming and Mo Jianyu who were still trying to incite the crowd, and asked, “Do you have any other evidence?”

Of course, the answer was no.

However, the Mo brothers did not give up.

Mo Jianming said, “Uncle, it is indeed very strange for Shiting to want to divorce just one month after his wedding. It’s only natural that we suspect his marriage is fake. But since you insist on logic, let’s wait and see. If it really is a fake marriage, with Shiting’s personality, once he achieves his goal, he’ll definitely wrap things up cleanly. Therefore, as soon as the one-month cooling period is up, he’ll definitely get a divorce.

“Indeed, this is very much in line with Shiting’s way of doing things.

Some people nodded in agreement.

But others voiced their worries, “But if he learns about today’s matter, he might decide not to get a divorce just to quell our doubts, right?” Mo Jianming’s gaze swept around the room, his expression serious, “That’s why we must not let a word of today’s matter leak out! I suggest we go to the ancestral hall and kneel in front of our ancestors to swear an oath and ensure that nothing goes wrong.”

“Fine, I support it!”

“I agree with Jianming brother’s method.”

“Agree!”

“Support!”

“Shaoyuan, I think Jianming’s proposal is very good. What do you think?”

As the head of the family, Mo Shaoyuan was always asked for his opinion by Mo Xingxian, despite his older age.

Mo Shaoyuan stroked his grey beard, about to speak, when the cell phone beside him lit up.

He put on his reading glasses and picked up the phone.

He saw a WeChat message-it was a picture of Mo Shiting kissing Gu Li, holding her face with one hand. The angle of the shot was very natural, their relationship seemed incredibly sweet, and that ‘dog-abuse’ vibe almost filled the entire screen.

Hmm, and they’re supposed to be in a fake marriage?

Alright, even if it was fake in the beginning, it was probably true now.

At this moment, Mo Shaoyuan was not worried at all about being caught off guard by the prodigal sons. He was even less worried they would divorce after the cooling-off period.

So, he calmly set his phone back down on the table and stood up.

“Let’s go, head to the ancestral hall. Everyone present today must swear a deadly oath not to reveal any of today’s matter, or suffer divine punishment!”

On the other hand, Mo Shiting, who had received a call to come to the villa for an emergency meeting, had to rush over without even having time to eat breakfast.
