Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man Chapter 264 - You Need to Please Me

Aware of Mo Yan's impending arrival, Mo Lian had meticulously planned an encounter designed to humiliate her.

Setting aside other matters, the very attire Mo Lian wore was a statement, a costly ensemble from a prestigious brand, brandishing it as a national first.

In stark contrast, Mo Yan presented a picture of simplicity. Her outfit, easily found in any department store and priced between 300 to 500 yuan, was elevated by her inherent attractiveness and admirable figure, making anything she wore look spectacular.

“My dear sister, you departed without a word at the charity gala. I truly feared something terrible had befallen you,” Mo Lian began, her voice dripping with sarcasm the moment they met.

It was rather unfortunate; Mo Lian had specifically orchestrated a dramatic scene for Mo Yan.

“Indeed, I faced certain difficulties, but they have all been resolved,” Mo Yan replied casually.

Had she not confirmed that the individuals involved were specifically targeting Huo Zhen, she might have harbored suspicions towards Mo Lian.

However, if Mo Lian were truly behind it, the situation would have escalated far beyond mere extortion.

“You must have reviewed the contract by now, correct? Setting aside other considerations, the projected profits and output outlined in the agreement should be quite satisfactory, wouldn’t you agree? Such terms would be unattainable with anyone else.”

“Naturally, Miss Mo Lian, your beauty truly shines from within and without,” Li Guoguo interjected promptly, seizing the opportunity to offer flattery.

To no avail, Mo Lian merely rolled her eyes, unimpressed by the compliment.

“I have conducted an analysis of your company, and it’s clear this contract is vital for your needs. Therefore, do you comprehend what is expected of you?”

A faint smirk played on Mo Lian’s lips, her intentions laid bare.

Mo Yan regarded Mo Lian with an impassive gaze, entirely disinclined to engage further.

“Please, do not hold back. Endeavor to please me. Otherwise, I might very well decide against signing this contract.”

Mo Lian fixed Mo Yan with a glare. If Mo Yan remained silent, Mo Lian would ensure her demands were understood.

“Miss Mo Lian, haven’t we already reached an agreement?”

Panic flared in Li Guoguo’s eyes. The contract was more crucial to her than anyone could realize.

“Silence! Your input is not required here!” Mo Lian snapped.

Visibly shaken, Li Guoguo’s complexion paled. Her gaze immediately shifted to Mo Yan. “Mo Yan, did you not hear her words just now? Should you not have something to say?”

“If this contract falls through, we will both face ruin,” Li Guoguo stated through gritted teeth, emphasizing the dire consequences for Mo Yan.

Mo Yan let out a sigh, fabricating a smile. “However, I’m afraid I’m not particularly skilled at pleasing people. What course of action do you suggest?”

She inquired, her eyes wide with feigned innocence, acting the part of an obedient subordinate.

“Moreover, this is the contract you yourself proposed. If it fails, then it fails. I am also acquainted with other potential clients and can pursue new agreements with them.”

Having navigated contract negotiations before, Mo Yan felt confident in her ability to secure another deal.

Furthermore, her participation in the charity gala had surprisingly broadened her professional network.

“Ha! You say that so easily. It appears I will have no need to finalize this contract with you,” Mo Lian scoffed, visibly irritated, particularly by Mo Yan’s newfound confidence.

“Mo Yan, promptly offer Miss Mo Lian your apologies.” Li Guoguo’s anxiety reached a fever pitch.

“I have committed no wrongdoing; why then should I apologize?” Mo Yan responded, her gaze steady and her tone righteous.

“Mo Yan, please refrain from speaking further.”

Li Guoguo’s frustration was palpable; she wished she could silence Mo Yan herself. She also berated herself for bringing Mo Yan to this meeting.

“Why must she remain silent? I concur that this contract holds little significance. It would be perfectly acceptable if we simply do not proceed with it.”

At that moment, a man in his early thirties entered the room. Mo Yan found his face vaguely familiar, as though they had crossed paths before.

Regrettably, she could not pinpoint the exact context at that instant.

“And who might you be? This is my office. By what authority do you enter uninvited?”

Mo Lian confronted the man, her temper flaring. Who was this intruder, and why was he seemingly defending Mo Yan?

“This is no longer your office.”

The man produced a document and presented it to Mo Lian. “My CEO has completed the acquisition of Mo Real Estate. Consequently, this office now belongs to me. I suggest you depart immediately.”

Mo Lian stared at the document, stunned. She had no prior knowledge of the Mo family’s intent to sell, yet the signature and official seal on the agreement were undeniable evidence.

“Do not attempt to deceive me with such fraudulent documents. I refuse to believe it.”

Mo Lian rejected the claim outright. “Creating a fake contract is a serious offense.”

The man offered a slight smile. “If Miss Mo doubts the authenticity, perhaps you should contact your father directly to verify its legitimacy.”

“I… I shall contact him at once,” Mo Lian declared, her voice laced with animosity, yet she hesitated to act.

The man’s pronouncements carried a weight of conviction that unsettled Mo Lian. Swiftly retrieving her phone, she dialed Mo Dong’s number.

“Dad, a gentleman just entered my office claiming the company has been acquired. Could you please explain what is happening?”

On the other end of the line, Mo Dong remained uncharacteristically silent for a prolonged moment.
