Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

Chapter 1321 Not clean anymore

Old Mo looked at his disappointing son, frowned, and sighed deeply, his voice carrying a hint of vicissitudes and helplessness accumulated over the years.

"Shaoqing, I know a little about the history of the Fu family."

His voice was low, like a guitar string sharpened by time. Every word he spoke carried a heavy weight, as if it could penetrate the mist of time and make people feel the ups and downs of the past.

"The older generation like Fu Yanchen all came from the underworld. What kind of world is that? Full of intrigue, blood and violence. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Just think about it, how can the hands of those who survived in such an environment be clean?"

He paused, as if recalling those unknown past events, and then continued: "Although Fu Yanchen's accident happened in peacetime, and now he seems to be in great glory, but who knows how many unknown secrets he hides behind him? I dare say that his hands are definitely not as clean as they appear on the surface."

A complicated look flashed in Mr. Mo's eyes.

After Mo Shaoqing heard this, his brows involuntarily frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused and dissatisfied with what his father said.

An expression of confusion quickly appeared on his face, mixed with a hint of rebuttal.

"Father, how can you say that?"

There was a hint of urgency in Mo Shaoqing's tone, as if he wanted to correct his father's point of view immediately.

"Father, the older generation of the Fu family did once get involved in some not-so-honest industries. This is a fact that cannot be avoided. In that era, if you didn't eat others, others would eat you. It should be made clear that those were the behaviors of the older generation in the past and have no direct connection with the current Fu family."

"Moreover, from what I have learned, since Fu Yanchen took over the family business, he has shown a completely different attitude and management style. He has been running the family business down to earth and conscientiously, without any involvement in those messy things."

Fu Yanchen's keen business insight and decisive decision-making ability have successfully led the family business to a new level. He focuses on standardized management of the company and is committed to improving product quality and service levels, winning the trust of customers and market recognition. "

"It can be said that Fu Yanchen has proved with his actual actions that he is different from the older generation. He is working hard to reshape the image of the Fu family, allowing the Fu family to get rid of the shadow of the past and move towards a brighter future."

There was an impatience in Mo Shaoqing's words, as if he was very eager to explain and defend Fu Yanchen.

Although he hated Fu Yanchen, at this critical moment, he still chose to believe that Fu Yanchen was not the kind of person who would behave inappropriately.

Mo Shaoqing knew that Xu Xiaoxiao and Fu Yanchen had an extremely close relationship. If Fu Yanchen really encountered misfortune or got into trouble, Xu Xiaoxiao would most likely be implicated.

This connection forced Mo Shaoqing to stand up and say a few fair words for Fu Yanchen to prevent Xu Xiaoxiao from suffering unnecessary harm.

Xu Xiaoxiao was unhappy, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

A complex emotion surged in his heart, including heartache for Xu Xiaoxiao.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "You can't treat him the same and kill him with one blow just because of what happened to his father or grandfather, right?"

Although his voice was not loud, it was full of determination and unwillingness to admit defeat.

He went on to say, "Everything in this world must be fair and clear about right and wrong. Everyone should be responsible for their own actions, rather than being implicated without reason. If a person is completely denied just because of his family background, isn't that too unfair?"

His words revealed his persistent pursuit of justice and his strong disgust for this injustice.

When Mr. Mo heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was touched by Shaoqing's words.

However, he quickly shook his head again, his tone filled with a bit of helplessness and persistence. "Fairness? Right and wrong? How can things in this world be so simple and clear? You know, the grudges and hatreds in this world are often tangled and difficult to sort out."

After hearing this, Mo Shaoqing frowned tightly, as if he could pinch a fly to death.

His expression turned a little ugly, revealing a hint of unwillingness and a desire to refute.

"Besides, your two grandfathers were friends back then, and their relationship was pretty good."

Mo Shaoqing raised his voice slightly, as if he wanted to emphasize the point.

However, just when he said this, he suddenly changed the subject, and his tone was somewhat teasing and provocative.

"Father, tell me yourself, have you ever really kept your hands and feet clean in your life? Haven't you ever done some... well, not-so-glorious things?" These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Mo Lao's heart.

Mr. Mo's expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger suddenly appeared on his originally calm face.

He opened his eyes wide and stared at the person who was speaking, as if he wanted to see the other person's true thoughts through his eyes.

However, the other party was not intimidated by Mr. Mo's glare. Instead, he continued, "I know you may not want to admit it, but facts are facts. You can't live in lies all your life, right? You think my grandfather and his people are clean, so you are clean... Most of your business is overseas, doesn't that explain the problem? Many businesses cannot be done in China, so you do them overseas, right?"

Old Mo's lips trembled slightly, and his arm drew a heavy arc in the air, and finally landed on Mo Shaoqing's cheek with an unquestionable force.

At that moment, a clear and resolute sound seemed to be heard in the air, like the final farewell of fallen leaves and branches in autumn, particularly harsh, and echoed continuously in this small compartment.

Mo Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face froze into a picture of astonishment.

He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his rapidly swollen cheek, with disbelief flashing in his eyes, as if what he had just suffered was not just a slap in the face, but also a cruel blow to some belief.

"Father, you hit me?"

Mo Shaoqing's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of disbelief and anger, "Did I say something wrong? There are no outsiders here, why can't I say it? Just because I said something right, do we have to hide it and not even dare to tell the truth?"

Mo Shaoqing's body leaned forward slightly, as if ready to make further reactions at any time, but he was pulled by some invisible force to maintain that delicate balance.

Mr. Mo's face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, but his clenched fists were still trembling slightly, revealing his inner agitation. "Shaoqing, you are wrong. This is our Mo family, the honor and dignity of our family. Some things are not unspeakable, but cannot be said carelessly, especially at a time like this, and we must not let outsiders see the joke."

There was a hint of severity and depth in Mr. Mo's words, as if he was giving a warning or confiding.

His words were like a sharp knife, accurately dissecting the core of the problem and forcing Mo Shaoqing to re-examine his own words and actions.

The atmosphere in the car became extremely heavy, as if even the air had solidified.

Mo Shaoqing's eyes gradually regained clarity. He lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

And Mr. Mo sat there quietly, waiting, as if everything was under his control.

"Father," Mo Shaoqing's voice was filled with reluctance and confusion. He stared at Old Mo, trying to find the answer from his eyes. "Why do you say that about Fu Yanchen? Is he really a ruthless person as you said?"

When Mr. Mo heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He sighed softly, as if he was recalling the past.

"Alas, Shaoqing, think about it carefully. A person who can be so cruel as to murder his own grandfather, do you think he still has the slightest kindness? In his eyes, what are you? If you really anger him by accident, I'm afraid that the only outcome that awaits you will be death without a burial place."

Not only was there a hint of earnestness in Mr. Mo's voice, but it also revealed his deep concern for Mo Shaoqing.

He seemed to be full of fear of that cruel and ruthless man, as if he had foreseen the tragic fate that Mo Shaoqing might encounter.

He knew Fu Yanchen's methods and scheming. In the past, if you didn't eat others, others would eat you. Everyone was ruthless. Mr. Mo could understand that. But now...

When Mo Shaoqing heard this, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

He had never thought that he would be so vulnerable in his father's eyes, and he never expected that Fu Yanchen would be such a terrifying existence.

"But, father, Xu Xiaoxiao..."

Mo Shaoqing tried to defend himself, but swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

He understood that any excuses would be futile in front of his father.

"Xu Xiaoxiao?" Old Mo snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a bit of disdain. "Xu Xiaoxiao's identity may seem ordinary, but do you know? She is a princess, and she was raised by Fu Yanchen. When did Fu Yanchen become so kind as to raise a child for no reason? Think about it carefully."

"How do you think you can steal his girlfriend? Do you think your clever tricks can really work? Don't forget, our Mo family was once a gangster. We know those methods better than anyone else."

Mr. Mo's words were like a sharp knife, accurately cutting through Mo Shaoqing's fantasy and naivety.

He understood that he was just an insignificant pawn in this contest.

"This time when you go back, marry the rich girl I introduced to you."

There was an unquestionable determination in Mr. Mo's words, "Don't get close to Xu Xiaoxiao anymore, and don't try to challenge Fu Yanchen's bottom line anymore. Our Mo family can no longer withstand any storms."

Mo Shaoqing's eyes flashed with complex emotions when he heard this. Mo Shaoqing was silent, as if he was tightly bound by an invisible shackle. His eyes were empty and blurred, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pressed into a straight line, revealing his inner struggle and confusion.

He really knew very little about Fu Yanchen. Even though he used to hang out with Xu Xiaoxiao every day, Xu Xiaoxiao during those days was like an impenetrable barrier. She never easily revealed a word about Fu Yanchen.

At this moment, his father's words exploded in his ears like thunder. Those dark rumors about Fu Yanchen, like a cold wind, penetrated his heart and made him shiver involuntarily.

Although he was a man with his own pride and dignity, facing such threats and intimidation, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable fear and panic in his heart.

He clenched his hands into fists, his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, and his eyes flashed with a complicated light.

Those rumors about Fu Yanchen, like an invisible shadow, shrouded his heart, making him feel unprecedentedly depressed and heavy.

He tried to recall every moment he spent with Xu Xiaoxiao, trying to find Fu Yanchen's flaws from those details, but he found that everything was as vague as a fog and he had no idea where to start.

"Father, I..."

Mo Shaoqing's voice was low and hoarse, as if something was stuck in his throat, and he was unable to speak for a moment. He knew very well that no matter how he defended himself, he could not change the reality before him, nor could he eliminate the fear and anxiety in his heart.

Old Mo looked at him, his eyes revealing a bit of complexity and helplessness. Looking at his red and swollen cheeks, a trace of guilt flashed in Old Mo's eyes:

"Shaoqing, everything Dad did was out of love for you! There are some things we really can't touch, especially those people we shouldn't provoke. Just like the people of the Fu family, they are not people we can afford to provoke easily. The forces behind them are intricate and intertwined, far beyond your and my imagination."

"Love...something like that can sometimes make people lose their rationality and become blindly impulsive. Daddy is really worried about you. I'm afraid that you will do something irreparable to Xu Xiaoxiao under impulse. Once things develop to that point, the consequences will be disastrous!

He sighed, his eyes deep, as if he could see into people's hearts:

"Fu Yanchen, he is not an ordinary person! His eyes are like a mirror, which cannot tolerate any dust. He will not tolerate you having the slightest improper thoughts about the people around him."

"Things haven't gotten out of control yet. You should stop before it's too late. Do you understand? Once jealousy is ignited, it will spread like wildfire and make people lose their minds. So, kid, listen to daddy this time, okay?

Mo Shaoqing's expression gradually became complicated after listening to Mo Lao's words. He lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously stroking the corner of his clothes, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He understood that every word his father said made sense, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart and making him unable to refute.

"But, Dad, I really..." Mo Shaoqing's voice was a little choked. He raised his head, his eyes slightly red, "I really like Xiaoxiao,"
