CHAPTER 695: CHAPTER 697:

At last, Mo Shu’s face grew colder and colder as she touched her stomach with her palm, even slightly sinking her fingers into it.

Ji Nan saw this and promptly extended his hand to cover hers.

Mo Shu finally calmed down slightly, loosened her expression a bit, and said, "Let’s go."

Her voice was extremely soft, and the group did not make any noise.

After returning to her room, Mo Shu’s thoughts gradually became clearer.

In the original story, the Mo Family’s ruin, although expedited by Yu Siqiao’s pressure, was indeed quick to fall apart.

In reality, the Mo Family had long been infested with worms.

This was something Mo Shu had suspected early on, so she was secretly searching for who this worm could be.

What she never guessed was that one of the worms turned out to be her stepmother, who always appeared honest and weak.

All this time, she only knew her stepmother was bullied and despised by Mo Jiantao but had no idea that beneath her humble, honest exterior lurked such great ambition.

Appearances are deceiving.

But relying solely on Qin Yuan, it would’ve been impossible to orchestrate such an extensive scheme.

The person behind Qin Yuan must have harbored great ambition and the patience to prepare a scheme spanning over a decade, likely lurking within the Mo Family from more than a decade ago or even earlier.

Thus, this person must hold a high position within the Mo Family.

But there were more than one or two high-ranking individuals within the company.

Excluding the heads of various branches, only five people at headquarters could directly influence the Mo Family.

Among these five, one was Grandpa Mo.

If this person was among the other four...

"Ding."

[Subquest completed: Make the stepmother confess the truth from that year, gain 30 points.]

The system’s notification sound brought Mo Shu back to reality, her eyes dimmed slightly as she said, "From what we know now, Mo Jiantao should be out of trouble, but allowing these people to be smug for too long is really uncomfortable for me."

There must be someone behind Qin Yuan.

Before exposing this person, they couldn’t afford to alert the target, but collecting some interest was still possible.

Mo Jiantao had loathed Sha Ling for so many years, all because she dashed his hopes of fatherhood for life, hadn’t she?

What would Mo Jiantao do to Qin Yuan if he knew that Sha Ling had nothing to do with this matter, but that it was his partner of over a decade who was responsible?

What anticipation.

Mo Shu lightly hooked her lips and tapped her finger gently on the desk, "Truly exhilarating."

Though Mo Shu was smiling, Sao Zha inexplicably felt she was a bit terrifying.

It seemed that as it leveled up, so did Mo Shu.

Her aura... got stronger!

Ji Nan quickly brought the freshly cleaned box in and said, "Princess."

Mo Shu asked her to open it, inside was a letter she had buried for her grown-up self when she was a child.

Sha Ling had taught her back then.

At that time, Sha Ling already harbored thoughts of ending her life, and soon after teaching Mo Shu how to leave a letter to her future self, Sha Ling departed from this world.

Mo Shu opened the box, which contained several sealed bags.

The sealed bags were for moisture and pest prevention.

But what surprised Mo Shu was that, besides her own sealed bag, there was another smaller one.

Mo Shu opened it and found a photo.

In the photo, a little girl in a snow-white princess tulle dress, full of immortal aura, had a carved face with a light smile, holding a pen and writing.

That was Mo Shu as a child.

She was four years old then.
