Mo Jin Jun snorted disdainfully. "What do you know? Uncle doesn't like others touching his things. There was a meal before and Sister Rou'er helped him get his coat out of goodwill. As a result, Uncle threw it away."
Zhong Rou'er's eyes darkened as she blamed Mo Jin Jun for speaking too much in her heart.
No matter how humiliated she was at that time, she would still grit her teeth in hatred when she thought of it.
But on the surface, she still pretended as if nothing had happened. She just asked condescendingly, "Miss Ye, I think this coat is very expensive. You can take it casually. Can you afford it?"
It was the first time that Ye Linlang had heard that Mo Ling had such a strange habit.
Although it was Mo Ling who had taken the initiative to give her the clothes, she did not want to explain it to Zhong Rou'er at all.
"It's none of your business," Ye Linlang replied coldly.
After that, she took her clothes and went straight downstairs, leaving Zhong Rou'er and Mo Jin Jun behind, stomping their feet in anger.
In the living room on the first floor, she happened to meet a maid in the laundry room. Ye Linlang handed over her clothes and told her not to meet her demand.
However, the maid did not dare to reach out to receive it. As Mo Jin Jun had said, almost everyone in the Mo family knew that Mo Ling's clothing could not be touched casually.
Ye Linlang was speechless to the extreme.
What kind of terrible devil was Mo Ling Tian?!
Footsteps came from the other side of the stairs. Mo Ling and Lin Zhi walked down one after another.
There was no need to go to the company today. Mo Ling was dressed in a black home dress. His hair, which had just been dried, was fluffy. He looked refreshing and lazy, lacking a sense of sharpness that could keep people thousands of miles away.
Ye Linlang tilted her head to look at Mo Ling. "Do you still want your clothes?"
Lin Zhi guessed what was going on when he saw the clothes in Ye Linlang's hands and the maid with a conflicted look on her face.
According to the usual customs of the company, this dress was likely to be thrown into the trash can again.
Mo Ling didn't answer Ye Linlang. He just frowned and looked at Lin Zhi. "Are you still in a daze?"
Lin Zhi was confused at first, but then he realized in surprise that Young Master Qian wanted him to take back his clothes!
Without thinking about the reason, Lin Zhi immediately ran forward and said as usual, "I'm sorry, Miss Ye. I forgot to take back the coat of the young man last night. Give it to me."
The maid covered her mouth in surprise.
She had been in the Mo family for three or four years. It was the first time that she had seen another woman touch a woman without clothes. How could she be taken back by him!
Ye Linlang did not understand Mo Ling's odd habit at all. She could not be bothered to think about the reason. In her eyes, no matter how expensive the clothes were, they were nothing more than a pile of cloth. If she wanted them, she would throw them away.
After handing the clothes to Lin Zhi, she turned around and went straight to the bar counter to fetch some water.
...
At dinner time, Old Master Mo did not eat together. Mo Ling was also in a meeting at the company and did not return. As such, the atmosphere at the dining table became much more relaxed.
At a time like this, Mo Jin Jun and Mo Tianyu were the most talkative.
Mo Tianyu was the first to speak. "Hey, do you know that Mi Xiaole's family is moving to City Z, because Mi Furen's company has been bought by uncle and signed in the afternoon."
"Ah?" Mo Jin Jun's face was filled with surprise. "So fast! Why did Uncle want to buy the Mi family's company? Their business is in conflict with ours, isn't it?"
Mo Tianyu took a sip of juice and replied, "It's Grandpa's idea. Mi Xiaole bullied Ye Linlang yesterday because she wanted to humiliate the Mo family. If we don't punish her severely, I'm afraid that the people in A City will think that our Mo family has declined."
Mo Jin Jun glared at Ye Linlang, unconvinced.
Although this reason made sense, it could also be said that she was venting her anger on behalf of Ye Linlang!
Zhong Rou'er, who was beside her, also had an increasingly ugly expression on her face.
Mo Ling Tian once again stood up for Ye Linlang!
"On what basis!"
Why did the Mo family treat this country bumpkin, who was vulgar and ugly, as a treasure?
Ye Linlang continued to eat calmly.
She was not surprised by this result.
The more powerful a family was, the more they had to protect their reputation. The punishment for the Mi family wasn't a small issue. It was called making a name for themselves.
After dinner, Ye Linlang returned to her room.
Another message came from the changer, asking him how to deal with the mine.
Holding the communication device, Ye Linlang was lost in thought.
Suddenly, she remembered what Mo Tianyang had said to Mo Ling. "We still haven't talked about the mine in Mexico..."
That's right! How could she forget that the Mo family wanted to take over the mine!
Ye Linlang quickly replied to the paparazzo and told him her plan.
The hatchet man was quick-witted and quickly replied, "Got it."
...
The next day, in the Mo Group.
Mo Ling Dong called Ye Linlang into his office and handed her a document.
It was the requirements for the designer competition that Long Yinghao was going to hold, mentioned by Mo Tianyang last time.
"You are in charge of arranging the schedule." Mo Ling ordered.
"Okay." Ye Linlang nodded.
She put away the folder, turned around, and was ready to leave.
Unexpectedly, Mo Ling said again, "Don't you want to try?"
The last time he saw her make clothes for him, she was so skilled that it was impossible for ordinary people in the mountains to make them.
Ye Linlang turned her head in confusion. "Huh?"
Why did she want to participate in such a small family competition?
Mo Ling pointed at the table with his slender fingers. "Jin Jun and Zhong Rou'er will go too. If you want to go, you can sign up."
Ye Linlang turned around again and gave Mo Ling a serious look.
During this period of working together, Mo Ling had always paid only attention to the matters of the group and never mentioned other people's private affairs. This time, he actually suggested that she sign up for the competition.
"Was it Bole who was looking for the Thousand-mile Horse?"
It was impossible. This competition was held by Long Yinghao. The Mo Group was just a friendly sponsor and did not directly benefit from it. There was no need for him to do this.
Was he trying to test something?
However, Mo Ling's expression did not change at all. He was as cold as ice.
There was no clue at all.
"No, I'm not interested in this." Ye Linlang insisted on refusing.
When she first went to design clothes, she also treated it as an amateur hobby. She changed her mind during the experiment. Therefore, even though she was popular later, she kept a low profile and never showed her face.
Ye Linlang greeted her and walked out of the office.
Mo Ling looked at the heavy glass door and raised his sword-shaped eyebrows.
"This little hedgehog is really smart."
After noon, Ye Linlang sent the arranged schedule to Mo Ling's office.
Then, Mo Tianyang hurried in as well. He could not hide his excitement as he said, "Uncle, there's new news from the mines!"
Mo Ling paused in his hand and looked up. "Oh?"
Ye Linlang's eyes lit up. "It's so efficient to spread the news so quickly."
Mo Tianyang glanced at Ye Linlang and did not continue.
Ye Linlang sensibly stepped out of the room.
When the door of the office was closed again, Mo Tianyang continued, "I received internal information in the morning. The mysterious big shot was targeted by the local government, so I had to find someone to replace him."
