Chapter 193: 193 Divorce (First Update)

Hearing this, Zhao Yiling’s formerly obscure eyes gradually began to sparkle with understanding, and she quickly grasped the crux of Li Ruyu’s words.

Unable to wait, she looked up and said, "Mom, do you have any other way? Tell me quickly, I don’t want to just lose to that little bitch."

Li Ruyu watched Zhao Yiling, the corners of her mouth curved into a sinister smile, "Ling’er, find some time to visit your godfather, he will surely find a way to help you, he definitely won’t just stand by and watch you fall."

No matter what, that person won’t just stand by and do nothing.

If it weren’t for that man, she and her daughter wouldn’t have lived so comfortably over the years.

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope quickly ignited in Zhao Yiling’s eyes.

That’s right, how could she have forgotten.

She had an even stronger backing!

"Yes, yes, I still have my godfather! My godfather is mine alone, and he will definitely help me,"

Her godfather was something no one could take from her.

"Mom, I’ll go now, I’ll go right away." Saying this, Zhao Yiling headed towards the door.

Her godfather was now her only hope.

"Ling’er," Li Ruyu reached out to grab Zhao Yiling’s hand, "don’t rush off just yet, rest at home for a couple of days first, get your emotions in order, and besides, your dad is coming back this afternoon. When he sees you’re not here, how am I supposed to explain it to him?"

Upon hearing that Zhao Shentian was coming back, Zhao Yiling appeared somewhat displeased, muttering discontentedly, "Why is he coming back at this time?"

Hearing this, Li Ruyu sternly lectured, "You child, what are you saying? Your father cares for you wholeheartedly, sees you as his precious pearl; if he heard this, think how hurt he would be."

"Alright Mom, I get it, I know my dad is good to me. It was just a casual remark, do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"

At these words, Li Ruyu realized she had overreacted, smiled, and continued, "Aren’t I just afraid of a rift forming between you and your dad?"

Zhao Yiling said somewhat carelessly, "No matter what, he is my real dad, how could I be estranged from him? Mom, you’re worrying too much."

Hearing this, Li Ruyu’s smile stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered and agreed, "Right, right, what kind of rift could there be between a father and daughter, I was overthinking."

Zhao Yiling nodded and then said, "Mom, can you think of a way, find a way to have the Mo family head engage to me? I was the one with the marriage agreement with the Mo family head. Mom, please help me; you’re the only one who can."

She had thought that as long as that little bitch stayed in the Zhao family, continuously drinking that milk with added ingredients, she wouldn’t last many days before she would be pushing up daisies.

Who would have thought that the little bitch would suddenly leave the Zhao family?

As long as that little bitch lives, she cannot turn over a new leaf.

Only when that little bitch is dead can she rest easy.

Hearing this, Li Ruyu consoled her.

"Ling’er, rest assured, no one can take what’s yours. That little bitch has been drinking that milk for so many days now; she probably won’t last much longer. When the time comes, what’s yours will still be yours, no one can steal it away."

She had added quite a bit to the milk, and by now that little bitch was probably not far from death.

Compared to Li Ruyu’s calm composure, Zhao Yiling was completely agitated.

She couldn’t wait another minute; the very thought of that little bitch enjoying the privileges that rightfully belonged to her made her unbearably upset.

That was supposed to be hers; why should she relinquish it to that little bitch?

Why should that stepping-stone enjoy those things?

"No, Mom, I’m not reassured, and I can’t wait that long. What if she doesn’t die? As long as she lives a single day, she’ll occupy the position of the Mo family head’s fiancée—the position that is mine! Mom, it belongs to me!"

Just looking at the changes in that little bitch now, no one knows what could happen in the future.

If she truly became the Mo family head’s wife, what would she have left to fight her with in the future?

The more Zhao Yiling thought about it, the more panicked she became. By the end of her speech, her voice was tinged with sobs.

"Sigh," Li Ruyu sighed, patted Zhao Yiling on the back, and comforted her, "Ling’er, you don’t have to be so anxious; after all, that little bitch is bound to die sooner or later. Why rush for a moment? When she dies, this marriage matter will be..."

Li Ruyu had not even finished speaking when Zhao Yiling interrupted her hastily, "Mom, why don’t you go to the Mo family and call off the engagement!"

As long as that little wretch canceled the engagement with the head of the Mo family, she could re-engage with him.

To avoid any more complications and unforeseen events, taking the initiative to call off the engagement was currently the best option.

Li Ruyu frowned slightly, "Would the Mo family matriarch agree if I go to call off the engagement?"

"Why wouldn’t she agree," Zhao Yiling’s lips curved up slightly, "Think about it, how could a family as prestigious as the Mo family allow a useless person to be the mistress? Wouldn’t that be a laughingstock?"

Zhao Yiling continued, "Mom, now that little wretch is out of our control, other than us taking the initiative to call off the engagement, there’s no other way. Just think about it, if that little wretch survives against all odds and once she marries into the Mo family, she’ll be able to trample us underfoot. By then, we would be truly finished! We must act first and cut off that little wretch’s escape routes so we can rest easy."

Zhao Yiling’s analysis made a lot of sense.

But Li Ruyu’s expression was somewhat somber; after all, it was she who had strongly recommended Chu Jin to the Mo family matriarch.

To get the Mo family matriarch to agree to the marriage, she had sung Chu Jin’s praises.

Now to ask her to call off the engagement, how could she bring herself to do it?

Praising Chu Jin to the skies during the engagement, and now having to list Chu Jin’s faults while calling it off, wouldn’t that be a contradiction?

Wasn’t she slapping her own face?

Moreover, if they were to call off the engagement, they would have to return all the gifts they had received, but those gifts had already been invested in ’Plan Z.’

Where would they find extra funds to call off the engagement with the Mo family now?

This matter was not as simple as Zhao Yiling had imagined.

"Ling’er," Li Ruyu glanced at Zhao Yiling, "Although you make a lot of sense, the dowry brought by the Mo family matriarch has already been invested into our company’s operations. With the current chaos in the group, where would our family find extra money to call off the engagement? Don’t forget, it’s a whole billion yuan!"

If they were indeed to call off the engagement, who would fill the gap of this billion yuan?

It wasn’t just a billion yuan; there were also all the gold, silver, and jewels brought by the Mo family.

All of those were top-quality items.

How could she willingly give them away?

Zhao Yiling suddenly stood up, "If you are unwilling to go, then I will go myself!"

How could she let that little wretch so easily steal her engagement?

"Ling’er!" Li Ruyu pulled Zhao Yiling down to sit next to her, calming her emotions, "You’re being too impulsive. Have you considered the consequences if this fails?"

Zhao Yiling looked at Li Ruyu, her beautiful eyes shimmering, the corners of her mouth curling into a slight arc as she spoke slowly,

"Mom, how could it fail? As the old saying goes, parental orders and matchmaker’s words — that little wretch has no parents now, and you are her guardian, with the right to deal with everything concerning her. Since you managed to get her engaged to the head of the Mo family, you definitely have a way to make them break it off. With that little wretch’s name out there, as long as you talk to her properly and analyze the pros and cons, the Mo family matriarch will certainly agree to call off the engagement."

Zhao Yiling continued, "Mom, don’t forget, I am also a daughter born under the dark moon! And I am more than ten times better than that little wretch. As long as you are willing to make it clear that I am not afraid of curses and rumors, and I am willing to marry humbly into the Mo family head’s household, I believe the Mo family matriarch will definitely agree to the broken engagement."

Between her and that little wretch, anyone with eyes would choose her.

She believed that as long as Li Ruyu personally visited to explain the situation, the Mo family matriarch would certainly opt for her as a daughter-in-law.

Hearing Zhao Yiling speak like this, a glimmer of hope slowly emerged in Li Ruyu’s eyes.

Ling’er was right; now that she was the little wretch’s guardian, she indeed had the authority to decide her life’s big matters.

As long as she insisted on calling off the engagement, she believed the Mo family matriarch would surely agree.

Moreover, compared to that little wretch, Ling’er was simply in a league of her own.

Originally, it had been Ling’er whom the Mo family matriarch had first taken a liking to.

If Ling’er were to become engaged with the head of the Mo family, there would be no need to return the dowry.

Perhaps, the Mo family would even happily increase the dowry.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Ruyu’s lips curved up in a pleased arc, "Then it’s settled, I’ll go to the Mo family tomorrow."
