Chapter 63: Chapter 63; Mother, what do I do?

Restricting military movements wasn’t for his own good but to avoid crises happening because of negligence.

"Mother, what do I do? What are we going to do? I can’t lose Huo Shen... I can’t lose him, Mother... He is my only ticket to a better life..." Zhan Shan could only cry as she kneeled there on the floor with her mother as her entire body trembled all over while they faced the ancestral tablets, she could only cry her heart out in despair.

"How can you wish to marry a man who treats you like this? Don’t you see it already? Zhan Shan, I have told you several times not to listen to your grandpa and his projections on you, he doesn’t care about girls in this family! He doesn’t mind using you for the family benefits! When would you learn to listen to me? Why didn’t you even tell me you are back in the country?" She roughly slapped her across the face causing the left side of her lips to split and slightly bled.

"Mother..." She gawked at her shocked with her eyes popped out, her mother had never been this cruel to her, no matter what she did, she would always tolerate her and in no day was she ever being rough with her.

"If you aren’t going to listen to my words, one day you will die without an intact body! You better listen very well, Huo Shen isn’t someone you can provoke and scheme on as you wish, you better forget it... He isn’t a man you can tackle, the Mo family have been defeated, you better stop daydreaming..." Chen Shixu roughly knocked her forehead with the curved part of her fingers glaring at her.

This girl was a fool being taken for a ride by that old man, and she stupidly followed his arrangements thinking that he was doing it for her.

"Mother, Grandpa has already promised me ten per cent shares, they will be helpful if it gets into our hands! Mother, why can’t you support me and believe that whatever I’m doing is for our own good? You do know with those shares, we can have a standing in this family..." Zhan Shan felt more aggrieved seeing her mother didn’t believe her and she wasn’t supporting her decisions and ideas at all.

She didn’t want to follow that old man’s arrangements blindly, but rather, it was the incentives she would earn from that entire deal.

"Zhan Shan, you are still naive..don’t you know there’s a rule that no girl in the Zhan family should receive the Zhan company shares? Only the boys are favoured in this family, you have been lied to and you are still trying to justify that nonsense? Zhan Shan, I always thought that you were more clever than this?" Chen Shixu was in disbelief that she gave birth to such a stupid girl who thought men were to be believed. She had learned her lesson and men were the creatures that someone wouldn’t put their expectations on.

"Mother..." Zhan Shan didn’t know this rule existed and there was no way her mother would lie to her like this. Then why did Old Master Zhan tell her that? Was he sacrificing her knowing what kind of a person Huo Shen is?

"Let me tell you Zhan Shan, you better wake up from that dream, you won’t receive any shares and there’s no way you can attract Huo Shen, you better focus on something else! If you get married, you can only receive money and other things but there are no shares that would be included..." she glared at her coldly.

"Why could he lie to me like this?" Zhan Shan was in disbelief as her eyes immediately dried up leaving wet eyelashes that showed that she had been crying, she was still in her nightdress kneeling and the place was cold.

She roughly sat backwards on the floor feeling weak all over her body, but she still had her eyes on Huo Shen, who didn’t want to marry him? How could she let go after seeing him for so many years?
