From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 154: The Legacy: The First Danger of Conflict

Wen Nuan and Mo Han pushed the door open and walked in. The conference room was filled with smoke and the atmosphere was solemn.

Several highly respected elders of the Mo family sat on the armchairs with gloomy faces, while Second Uncle Mo leaned back in the chair with an impatient look on his face, fiddling with a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads in his hand.

"Oh, our Young Madam Mo is finally here," Uncle Mo said sarcastically, his tone full of sarcasm, "I thought you were too busy with your business outside to care about such a trivial matter of our Mo family."

Wen Nuan looked around calmly, sat down next to Mo Han, and said calmly, "Second uncle, you're joking. The Mo family's affairs are my affairs."

As soon as she finished speaking, a few scornful sneers were heard in the meeting room.

An elder put down his teacup heavily, his cloudy eyes full of scrutiny. "Young Madam, you've only been married into the Mo family for a short time. I'm afraid you don't know much about family affairs yet, do you?"

Wen Nuan felt an invisible pressure, but she straightened her back and looked determined. "Although I don't know much about the Mo family's affairs, I still understand fairness and justice."

Lawyer Lin promptly handed a document to the crowd. "This is the estate distribution plan drawn up by the master before his death. Please review it."

The content of the document is lengthy and complex, involving many industries and assets under the name of the Mo family.

Wen Nuan took a quick look and had a general understanding in her mind.

"I don't agree with this plan!" Mo Han suddenly spoke up, his tone firm. "My father loved my younger sister the most when he was alive. He should give her more."

Wen Nuan suddenly looked up at Mo Han, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.

She didn't expect that Mo Han would raise objections at this critical moment, and even to favor his sister.

"Mo Han, you..." Wen Nuan lowered her voice, her tone trembling slightly, "You are being partial!"

Mo Han looked Wen Nuan in the eye without hesitation, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "I just want to protect my sister's rights. What's wrong with that?"

"Protecting rights? You're breaking the rules!" Wen Nuan's voice gradually rose, unable to suppress the anger in her heart any longer. "The rules set by the old man during his lifetime, how can you change them just like that?"

"Rules are dead, but people are alive!" Mo Han stood up suddenly and said in a firm tone, "I am the head of the Mo family. I have the right to decide everything!"

Wen Nuan also stood up, meeting Mo Han's gaze fearlessly, and said word by word, "Even if you are the head of the family, you cannot go against the ancestral teachings and bend the law for personal gain!"

The two were on edge, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The elders and lawyers present looked at each other, and no one dared to interrupt.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that this debate had just begun...

She took out a USB drive from her bag...

Wen Nuan pulled a USB drive from her bag and gazed at the group with a determined look. Her clear voice broke the stagnant atmosphere, "I have a preliminary distribution plan here that might resolve the current impasse." She handed the USB drive to Lawyer Lin and said calmly, "Please review it, Lawyer Lin."

Lawyer Lin took the USB drive, inserted it into the computer, and the projector projected the file contents onto the wall.

Wen Nuan explained her plan in a clear and organized manner. She redistributed the inheritance based on family regulations and actual conditions, ensuring fairness and justice while taking into account the interests of each branch.

She even proposed to use part of her inheritance for family charity to benefit her hometown. This move won the praise of several respected elders in the family.

At first, some relatives from other branches questioned Wen Nuan's plan, believing that as an "outsider", she had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Mo family.

But Wen Nuan remained neither humble nor arrogant, and refuted each of their arguments one by one, citing classics and using rigorous logic, leaving those who questioned her speechless.

Lawyer Lin also said that the warm plan is completely legally tenable and is more in line with the master's last wishes.

He pushed his glasses up and said with certainty, "This plan is more complete than the one drawn up by the master during his lifetime."

Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan who was talking freely, his eyes full of appreciation and love.

He realized his impulsiveness and recklessness and was filled with regret.

He walked over to Wen Nuan, held her hand, and apologized sincerely: "Wu Nuan, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Wen Nuan took Mo Han's hand and gave him a reassuring smile. "I know you were anxious for a moment, and I understand." They interlocked their fingers, looked at the crowd with a firm gaze, and said in unison, "We will face all difficulties together."

Elder Liu stroked his beard and spoke slowly: "In that case..." He paused, his eyes fell on the document in Lawyer Lin's hand, and said meaningfully: "Then call Wang Baoguan first." As soon as Elder Liu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room became solemn again.

He spoke slowly, his cloudy eyes sweeping over the crowd. His voice was low and gloomy. "Before we finalize the estate distribution plan, there's one more thing we need to clarify." He paused, his gaze resting on the document in Lawyer Lin's hands, and he added meaningfully, "That is, the custody of the family estate warehouse."

When Uncle Mo Er heard this, he immediately jumped up and pointed at the Liu clan elder's nose and cursed, "Old Liu, what do you mean? Do you suspect I stole something?"

The Liu clan elder took a sip of tea calmly and said slowly, "Second uncle, don't get excited. I'm just discussing the matter. Wang Baoguan, he's your man."

Wang Baoguan is the manager of the Mo family's heritage warehouse and has always been trusted by Uncle Mo.

When the Liu clan elder said this, everyone was shocked and turned their eyes to Uncle Mo.

Uncle Mo's face turned pale, but he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing this, Wen Nuan felt something in her heart and she knew this was an opportunity.

She stood up and said firmly, "Elder Liu is right. This matter is of great importance and must be thoroughly investigated." She turned to Mo Han, her eyes full of confidence, "Mo Han, I will investigate this matter."

Mo Han held her warm hand tightly and gave her an encouraging look.

With the resources provided by the Mo Han family, Wen Nuan quickly launched an investigation.

She retrieved the warehouse's surveillance video, carefully checked every account entry and exit record, and secretly visited several people who were closely related to Wang Baoguan.

Soon, Wen Nuan got some clues about Wang Baozhuang.

She found that in the past few years, Wang Baoguan had frequently visited some high-end consumption places, and his consumption level far exceeded his income.

In addition, he also had contact with some people of unknown origin.

All signs indicate that Wang Baoguan is indeed suspected of embezzlement.

Wen Nuan compiled the results of the investigation into a report and prepared to expose Wang Baozhuang's crimes in the meeting hall.

She took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the meeting room...

He held the report tightly in his hand, his eyes as sharp as a knife.

Wen Nuan walked into the meeting room and everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Without the slightest fear, she walked straight to the center and placed the report in her hand on the table.

"After my investigation, I found that Wang Baoguan had serious financial problems during his tenure." She spoke in a steady tone, her eyes sweeping across the crowd, finally landing on Uncle Mo's gloomy face.

Wen Nuan clearly and logically describes Wang Baoguan's various suspicious behaviors, from high consumption to contact with unknown people, with solid evidence and convincing evidence.

Several elders of the clan were originally dissatisfied with Wen Nuan's interference in family affairs, but now they had to admit that this young lady did have some abilities.

Even Uncle Mo, who had always been sarcastic towards Wen Nuan, was speechless and unable to refute.

"These evidences are enough to prove that Wang Baozhu was negligent in his duties, and even...theft!" Wen Nuan announced in a resounding voice, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone.

There was an uproar in the meeting room. Everyone was impressed by Wen Nuan's investigative ability and started talking about it.

However, Uncle Mo was not willing to give up.

He had a gloomy face, his eyes rolled around, and he was thinking about a countermeasure in his mind.

He knew that if Wang Baobao's affairs were exposed, he would also be implicated.

So, he secretly contacted Appraiser Sun, who had a vested interest in him, and prepared to create a bigger obstacle for Wen Nuan.

Appraiser Sun is a professional responsible for the evaluation of the Mo family's assets. He is greedy and easily bribed.

Second Uncle Mo paid him a generous reward to tamper with the appraisal report, underestimating the actual value of the Mo family's assets and thus reducing their share of the inheritance.

When Wen Nuan was investigating the Wang Baozhu incident, everything went smoothly, the clues were clear, and the evidence was conclusive.

But just when she was about to bring Wang Baozhu to justice, all the clues were suddenly cut off, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

She felt a little uneasy, vaguely feeling that things were not that simple.

"What's going on? All the clues are broken..." Wen Nuan frowned and muttered to herself.

At this time, Mo Han came over and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did you encounter any problems?"

Wen Nuan raised her head and looked at Mo Han, her eyes full of confusion and worry.

She told Mo Han the situation, and after hearing it, Mo Han's face became solemn.

"It seems that someone is secretly obstructing us."

At this moment, Lawyer Lin hurried in, his face pale, holding a document in his hand, and tremblingly said: "Mr. Mo, Madam, it's not good... Appraiser Sun, he..."
