Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Status
"Grandfather, that Ning Xuan is impossible," Mo Yu complained. "I’ve tried to make peace with her, but she’s completely ungrateful. I asked to meet her, and she wouldn’t even show her face. She just had a housekeeper brush me off."
"She has no respect for our Mo Family at all! Grandfather, just kidnap her and bring her here. Don’t you want an heir with her bloodline? All women can have children. Just have your men tie her up and bring her over, and I guarantee I’ll have her pregnant within a month." An excited look appeared on Mo Yu’s face as he imagined Ning Xuan struggling.
"So that was your plan from the start, wasn’t it? And after putting out a bounty and everything... Just look at Ji Wuchen, Guo Jia..." Before Mo Changsheng could finish, Mo Yu cut in.
"They couldn’t get a meeting with her either, so what’s the difference?"
That one sentence shut down everything Mo Changsheng was about to say.
"Grandfather, not only is Ning Xuan impossible to persuade, but she’s also extremely guarded. She’s surrounded by people, so conventional methods are useless for getting close. If you want to get your wish, you’ll have to use some more drastic measures." Mo Yu was Mo Changsheng’s only descendant from the Direct Lineage, so even though Mo Yu’s aptitude was merely mediocre, Mo Changsheng did everything he could to pave the way for him.
"If Ning Xuan were that easy to kidnap, why would I have had you try every trick in the book to get close to her? Forget it. Since you can’t handle this, I’ll have someone else do it. You should go back to the New Star Body and focus on your Cultivation." Mo Changsheng glanced at him and waved his hand. Someone immediately entered to escort Mo Yu out.
"Grandfather, there’s nothing on that New Star Body! It’s so boring, I don’t want to go," Mo Yu refused without a second thought.
"It’s not up to you. This is an incredible opportunity that others would kill for, yet you don’t appreciate it. I’ll have people watch you. Don’t even think about coming back until you have a breakthrough in your Spiritual Power Level," Mo Changsheng scolded.
"No, no, Grandfather! Since the matter with Ning Xuan is so important to you, let me handle it! What happens if she ends up pregnant with someone else’s child?" Mo Yu pleaded, looking at Mo Changsheng.
’Grandfather had said before that Ning Xuan possessed the Divine Bloodline. He knew his own limitations, so of course he wanted to use Ning Xuan to produce a powerful heir. That was the only way to ensure his own position would remain secure.’
"I told you to get close to her, but you clearly haven’t put any thought into it at all. A person like Ning Xuan would never give birth to a child herself," Mo Changsheng said, looking at Mo Yu with disappointment.
"What kind of person is she? Didn’t she come from a low-level planet? On a Low-class Star, women are the ones who give birth. Why can’t she?" Mo Yu asked, looking at Mo Changsheng in confusion.
"Get him out of my sight. Now," Mo Changsheng said, no longer wanting to look at Mo Yu.
"Grandfather—"

"President Yu, was it really a good idea to just discipline Di Youlin like that?" Feng Linran asked hesitantly.
"He is one of Miss Ning’s people, after all. If you punish her subordinates without her knowledge, won’t she be displeased? You don’t exactly have an official title yet. Won’t this just give people something to talk about?" Feng Linran had been trying to give Yu Mingche a look earlier, but he had been ignored.
"You’re overthinking it," Yu Mingche said, his expression calm. "Housekeeper Yan handles the general affairs of the residence. Why do you think she specifically told me to manage things here? The only things for me to manage are matters that Yan Fuzhen can’t easily interfere in. The issue with Di Youlin is something only I can handle."
"As long as I handle things by the book, she will only be pleased. She would only have a problem if I did nothing at all," Yu Mingche said with a sigh.
"That makes sense. President Yu, do you think Miss Ning plans to make you the chief Contractor, in charge of all the others? If so, will there be a public Contract ceremony soon?" Feng Linran asked excitedly.
’The moment he thought of it, he had already pictured the style of formal wear Yu Mingche would wear at the Contract ceremony. He would definitely make his master look absolutely stunning and hold a grand ceremony.’
"President Yu, if you become the chief Contractor, does that mean I can replace Yan Fuzhen as the head housekeeper?" Ever since Feng Linran learned that even Ying Yaoshi was one of Ning Xuan’s Contractors, his attitude toward her had unconsciously changed.
"Holding a Contract ceremony is the easy part. It’s hard to say whether Ning Xuan will grant me that official status. Besides, don’t you have enough to keep you busy at the Political Hall? Do you really have to stick your nose into the affairs of this residence too?" Yu Mingche looked at him, amused.
"I’m just worried you’ll get bullied! With your pathetic combat skills, how can I not worry if I’m not here watching your back?" Feng Linran rolled his eyes at him.
"Fine, fine, do as you please. Just make sure you don’t get on Ning Xuan’s nerves again. Otherwise, you’ll be doing more harm than good," Yu Mingche reminded him.
"I know, I know," Feng Linran agreed.
As the two were talking, an Attendant came in to announce that Yan Fuzhen was requesting to see him.
Yu Mingche quickly had Yan Fuzhen shown in.
"President Yu, Miss Shen Wenwen of the Shen Family and the fourth young lady of the Hua Family, Huangfu Xinyue, have come with several other young ladies to see the Family Head. I have already informed them that the Family Head is in seclusion, but they refuse to leave. They say it’s a matter of great importance and that they must see her." Yan Fuzhen wore a troubled expression.
"Is there something special about these young ladies? You seem quite troubled, Housekeeper Yan," Yu Mingche said, a little curious.
"The Family Head rarely socializes and doesn’t have many friends. These young ladies have visited before and can be considered her friends. Moreover, they are all High Level female Spirit Controllers, who are protected by law. Since they refuse to leave, I don’t dare be too forceful for fear of injuring them," Yan Fuzhen explained, not hiding the details of their relationship with Ning Xuan from Yu Mingche.
"Then let them in for now. Linran, take some people and go bring Miss Tang Xue over. Explain the situation here to her clearly," Yu Mingche instructed Feng Linran.
"Alright, I’m on it." Feng Linran agreed and turned to leave.
When Huangfu Xinyue and Shen Wenwen came in, they were both surprised to find Yu Mingche was the one to receive them.
"Governor Yu, are you really Ning Xuan’s Contractor? I thought those were just rumors." Shen Wenwen, who recognized Yu Mingche, stared in surprise at him sitting in the host’s seat of the reception hall.
"My Contractor is Ning Xuan; it’s not a rumor. Miss Shen, Miss Huangfu, may I ask why you are looking for my Contractor? She is currently in seclusion at a critical stage and cannot be disturbed. If you wish to see her, perhaps you could come back another day," Yu Mingche asked.
"But this is a matter of life and death, an absolute emergency! Only Miss Ning can save them! Governor, can you please ask Miss Ning to come out of her seclusion and help?" a young lady next to Shen Wenwen said anxiously.
"I cannot. My Contractor is not a doctor. If someone’s life needs saving, please go to a hospital," Yu Mingche refused with a placid smile.
