"Why should I marry that disfigured trash from the Mo family? He's been burned to such a hideous state, is he even still human? If you want someone to marry him, you do it!"
Wen Hanyun roared angrily, her demeanor so fierce she looked as if she might tear the roof off.
Wen Qianqian, who was cooking in the kitchen, fleetingly glanced into the living room upon hearing this.
Her sister was getting married?
Their father, Wen Lizong, heavily tapped his walking stick on the floor and scoffed, "I'd love to marry, if only the Mo family would accept! They're a renowned aristocratic family in the capital city, countless women are willing to break their heads just to marry into it. If it weren't for the incident with Mo Jin Yan, you wouldn't have the slightest chance of getting such a great opportunity."
"What aristocratic family!" Jiang Qiulan, the matriarch of the Wen family, held her daughter tightly, gritting her teeth at her husband. "What’s the use of Mo Jin Yan being so powerful? He is nothing more than the discarded son of the Mo family, not to mention his ill-tempered and psychologically twisted behavior, torturing to death several servants who were serving him!”
“What if such a man abuses her after marriage? What is our little Yun supposed to do alone? I only have this one daughter; she is my life. If you want to drive her to death, I won't live either!”
Finishing her words, Jiang Qiulan cried to the point of almost passing out while embracing her daughter.
Wen Lizong was irritated by their crying and his temples were throbbing. He sat helplessly on the couch and lamented, “Who doesn’t know that the Mo family is a fiery pit of hell? You think I want our daughter to suffer?”
“Now, the company is having major problems. If Hanyun doesn’t marry into the Mo family, why on earth would the Mo Group help us? Do you want me to watch our company go bankrupt?”
"Isn't Wen Qianqian also a daughter of our Wen-family? Why doesn't she marry?"
With that, Wen Hanyun rushed madly into the kitchen, grabbed Wen Qianqian's hair, and dragged her out, "As long as we give Mo family a daughter, anyone will do! She's been raised by the Wen family for so long; it’s time for her to repay the favor."
Wen Qianqian timidly lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, "Sister, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Hanyun interrupted, "Don't call me sister, you illegitimate child who couldn’t be shown in the public. If it weren't for my mother's generosity, you would have starved to death on the streets long ago."
"Mother, Father, Wen Qianqian is beautiful and has a good temperament. She serves people every day; she’d be a perfect fit for the Mo family, even if she is just a servant. Mo Jin Yan will surely be satisfied. It couldn't be more appropriate to have her marry into the Mo family!"
Wen Lizong studied his younger daughter Wen Qianqian's face meticulously. He saw the petite girl standing timidly in the corner, her pure, innocent face making her appear a obedient, well-behaved child to anyone who saw her.
On the other hand, their Wen Hanyun had been spoiled from a young age, growing up to be arrogant and domineering. Going to the Mo’s family, it was inevitable for her to offend others.
Although it was true that Wen Qianqian was an illegitimate daughter, with a lowly status, wasn't Mo Jin Yan, who was abandoned by the Mo family, a disfigured lunatic?
Upon close consideration, Mo Jin Yan might not even be worthy of Wen Qianqian!
Moreover, now the entire Mo Corporation is in the hands of Mo Jin Yan's uncle, when the uncle chooses a wife for his nephew, he would definitely choose an obedient one, not some missy who is always against him.
In less than a minute, Wen Lizong's mind has already made quite a few turns.
"Qianqian, would you like to marry into the Mo family?" Wen Lizong symbolically asked her for her opinion.
Regarding his younger daughter, actually, he felt guilty. Back then, he met Wen Qianqian's mother during a work trip. He fell in love at first sight, hiding the fact that he was already married until she got pregnant, after which he broke off contact with her.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qianqian's mother came to him and upon finding out he was already married, she committed suicide by jumping off a building.
Jiang Qiulan put on the face of a kind-hearted old woman, pleading, "Qianqian, I have never treated you badly over the years. I've always treated you as my own daughter. Now the family is in trouble. Can you help us?"
This emotional onslaught made it really hard for Wen Qianqian to respond.
She had always been a people-pleaser since she was young, always doing whatever her elders asked her to do. But she also had expectations for a romantic relationship. Suddenly, they were asking her to marry a stranger. It was a bit too much for her to accept.
Moreover, as an illegitimate daughter, she was even more eager for a normal and warm family. But now they were asking her to replace her sister in the arranged marriage...
Seeing her hesitation, Jiang Qiulan immediately promised, "Don't worry, as long as you marry into the Mo family, I will pay for your uncle's surgery, and I will arrange for your cousin to start working at the company."
Regarding the poor relatives that Wen Qianqian had to carry on her shoulders, Wen Hanyun couldn't stand them.
"I'd remind you, your uncle's surgery alone was set back by over a million yuan! Your aunt doesn't even have a job, and your cousin hasn’t even finished junior high school and is living hand to mouth out there. If it wasn't for the support of the Wen family, they would've starved to death."
"Now, my mother is willing to offer them jobs in the company. This is a big favor. If you still care about your uncle’s family, you should agree immediately."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qianqian felt a knot in her chest.
Her uncle was her only family left, she couldn't turn a blind eye!
She nervously fiddled with the corner of her clothes, her small face filled with the resoluteness decided upon, "Alright, I agree."
