Chapter 1918: Chapter 1771: Competing in Wealth
Upon hearing this, everyone was furious.
The man was a guest and brought so many gifts, yet you still bang the table and shout, truly heartless.
Mo Yuyao trembled with anger. She respected all her uncles, even the unkind Fourth Uncle, always believing a step back would make the world a wider place.
But today, Fourth Uncle’s actions pushed her beyond her limits.
Just as she was about to explode, Song Yun quietly squeezed her palm, urging her not to act impulsively.
Song Yun said to Fourth Uncle: "Go ahead and ask."
"You truly know the world, unlike these uncouth folk who just know how to get angry."
Fourth Uncle chuckled and continued, "Song Yun, besides your little business, have you ever thought about expanding it or starting a company or something?"
Song Yun replied, "No."
Fourth Uncle’s eyes lit up, seemingly pleased with this answer, saying, "In this era, anyone with some ability stands out when they first enter society. If you do nothing, how can you succeed? Look at you, no family background, no skill, how can you give Yu Yao happiness? In my opinion, you’re not suitable, Yu Yao should find a wealthy partner, preferably a big boss."
"To be honest, I’ve been mingling in the Martial World of Yong’an District all these years, not just idly. I’ve made many friends. Among them is Duanmu Ci, a young entrepreneur who runs a construction company worth over a billion, a textbook example of a diamond bachelor. If a girl marries him, she would live in bliss."
Then, Fourth Uncle changed his tone, looked at Mo Yuyao, and laughed: "Yuyao, Fourth Uncle is doing this for your good. I’ve shown your photo to Duanmu Ci, and he’s very impressed. This is a great opportunity, if you seize it, we’ll all be prosperous, no, you will be happy."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood the situation.
Fourth Uncle had already latched onto wealthy connections, wanting to marry Mo Yuyao off to someone else. Of course, he wasn’t pleased with Song Yun, the unexpected third wheel.
His shameless words enraged everyone to the core.
This isn’t for Mo Yuyao’s good, it’s simply his desire for money.
This time, Mo Yuyao didn’t care about Song Yun holding her hand. She stood up abruptly and said sternly: "Fourth Uncle, let me tell you very clearly, apart from Song Yun, I wouldn’t like anyone, let alone Duanmu Ci."
Fourth Uncle rubbed his hands, and laughed: "Yuyao, don’t be impulsive, you need to think about this. Besides, Duanmu Ci is a young entrepreneur, quite handsome, and very charismatic. You might end up liking him."
Everyone glared at Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, and the usually calm Elder Wang said angrily: "Lao Si, you’re really a bastard. Who in Yong’an District doesn’t know about Duanmu Ci’s nonsense? You’re trying to introduce Yuyao to him, you’re harming her."
Facing everyone’s accusations, Fourth Uncle drank some wine, and leisurely said: "Duanmu Ci is not a big villain, he’s wealthy and influential in Yong’an District. As long as Yuyao marries him, our Mo family will be prestigious in Yong’an District."
"Get lost, if you want to be prestigious, do it yourself, don’t harm our Yuyao."
Mo Xiang banged the table again, pointing at Fourth Uncle and cursed.
Third Uncle said angrily, "Who doesn’t know about Duanmu Ci’s chaotic private life, the trouble he has caused for many girls? Lao Si, you still want to introduce Yuyao to Duanmu Ci, you’re simply pushing Yuyao into a pit of fire. After all these years, you haven’t changed, you’re a heartless, ungrateful bastard."
Fourth Uncle said: "Third Brother, look at you talking, I’m doing this for everyone’s good. If Song Yun had money, I wouldn’t introduce Duanmu Ci. Unfortunately, Song Yun can’t compare to Duanmu Ci."
Thud, thud, thud...
At this moment, the sound of the front door being knocked was heard from outside.
Fourth Aunt jumped up, excitedly saying, "It must be Duanmu Ci."
Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily stunned.
Coming to their senses, Gong Xingqin angrily said: "Lao Si, you actually brought Duanmu Ci here, what is your intention?"
Fourth Uncle got up and walked out, laughing: "I’m finding a good husband for Yuyao, of course with good intentions. You all have no conscience, not only do you not thank me, but you also blame me."
Fourth Aunt followed him, and they opened the courtyard gate.
Seven or eight people walked in from outside, all with arrogant expressions, looking very haughty.
Most of these people were around thirty, the leader about thirty-four or thirty-five, looking somewhat pale, with sunken eyes, and dark circles, clearly someone with excessive indulgence.
Fourth Uncle pointed at the people behind Duanmu Ci and asked: "Mr. Duanmu, who are they?"
Duanmu Ci replied indifferently: "They’re a few of my friends. After seeing Mo Yuyao’s photo, they were astonished and wanted to come and see. By the way, you told me Mo Yuyao returned, where is she?"
Ever since seeing Mo Yuyao’s photo, Duanmu Ci couldn’t stop thinking about her, his mind filled with visions of beauty.
Today, he was originally having a gathering with a few friends, but upon receiving Fourth Uncle’s message saying he could see Mo Yuyao, he immediately rushed over.
His friends, seeing his urgency, were also very curious and followed along.
Right after Duanmu Ci asked about Mo Yuyao, Song Yun and the Mo family came out of the house.
Duanmu Ci and his friends immediately spotted Mo Yuyao, as her beauty and charm were truly outstanding.
Instantly, they were entranced, genuinely captivated by Mo Yuyao’s allure.
