Chapter 403: Chapter 404 Mo Yan’s Grievance 4

"But, even that wish might be hard to fulfill..."

"Why would you think that? Haven’t you already married him? If the position of Mrs. Yang isn’t yours, then whose would it be?"

Mo Ran was somewhat startled and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that Yang Tao wants to divorce you to remarry another woman?!"

Mo Yan shook her head, then nodded.

"It’s almost like that, but it’s not his idea—it’s the old lady’s. They just despise me for not coming from a prominent family, thinking that my marrying into the Yang Family has brought shame upon them. They all want to push me out to find someone of equal social status!"

She scoffed coldly and said, "She thinks her son is so great, believing that every prestigious lady is dying to marry him!

Hmph, saying I’m not from a well-born family—when our Mo Family was prestigious, their Yang Family wasn’t even known for anything significant!

If it weren’t for me, their Yang Family couldn’t have overcome their difficulties!"

Mo Yan suddenly realized that she might have said too much.

Looking at Mo Ran, she indeed saw suspicion in her gaze.

"Sister, what do you mean by your words? What do you mean when you say without you, the Yang Family couldn’t have overcome their difficulties?" Mo Ran asked with a frown.

A flicker of guilt crossed Mo Yan’s eyes, and she laughed it off, saying:

"I’m just talking nonsense. What can I do? At best, I’m just a minor character. Ranran, the food is getting cold, let’s eat."

Mo Ran didn’t believe her words.

"Sister, are you hiding something from me? Also, I’ve always been curious, why did Yang Tao propose to you in the first place? Tell me, what’s the real story behind it."

The most aggravating thing for Mo Yan was that Mo Ran was smart when she should be oblivious and obtuse when she should be wise.

If only she were a bit dumber at this moment.

Putting down her chopsticks, she said indifferently, "What could I possibly be hiding from you? Even if there were something, it wouldn’t concern you. Besides, could Yang Tao not propose to me? Do you think so little of me?"

Mo Yan was quite good at pretending, but her act often only succeeded halfway in front of Mo Ran.

That was because Mo Ran had grown up with her and knew her a bit better than others.

Her current state of annoyed embarrassment was a sure sign of her guilt.

Mo Ran had already guessed the likely reason—it had to be because of Gu Yixuan. Otherwise, Yang Tao wouldn’t have proposed to Mo Yan.

They lacked everything that could hold sway over the Yang Family, apart from Gu Yixuan, who was connected to them. She really couldn’t think of anyone else.
