From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 31 A sudden storm: the beginning of an identity crisis

The biting mountain wind seemed to foreshadow the coming of some kind of storm.

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the conference room was like frozen ice, so oppressive that it was suffocating.

Mr. Lin had a hypocritical smile on his fat face, but his eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, staring at Wen Nuan.

He put down the documents in his hand, cleared his throat, and said with a subtle hint of sarcasm: "Mr. Mo, is this the project manager of your company? I heard... this Miss Wen Nuan seems to be the abandoned daughter of the Wen Nuan family in Yangcheng?"

The air seemed to freeze in an instant, and Wen Nuan felt as if everyone's gaze was piercing him like needles, with scrutiny, curiosity, and even contempt.

She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh.

"Boss Lin is quite well-informed," Mo Han said in a cold tone, his eyes sweeping over Boss Lin and his secretary like a knife. "It's true that Wen Nuan comes from the Wen Nuan family, but that has nothing to do with her work ability. The several projects she was previously responsible for have all achieved outstanding results. I'm sure Boss Lin has also seen the reports."

President Lin sneered, "Mr. Mo, the report looks good, but who knows if there's anything fishy going on? How capable can a girl abandoned by a family be? This is a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars. If something goes wrong, who's responsible?" Secretary He beside him also echoed sarcastically, "That's right. What if this project is just using the Mo family's money to give this little girl some practice? President Lin won't be the one to take it for granted!"

Mo Han stood up suddenly, with an imposing manner, and said word by word: "Mr. Lin, I hope you can speak with respect. Our Mo family has absolute trust in Wen Nuan's abilities. As for the project, our Mo family will naturally give its full support, and there will be no problems!" He reached out and held Wen Nuan's hand, clasping their fingers together, giving her silent support.

Wen Nuan felt the warmth of his palm, and her originally panicked heart gradually calmed down.

President Lin was shocked by Mo Han's aura and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't expect Mo Han to protect Wen Nuan so much, and secretly cursed the boy for being ungrateful.

He rolled his eyes and said with a forced smile, "Mr. Mo, don't get excited. I'm doing this for the good of the project. Since Mr. Mo is so confident, let's continue..."

Just then, Mo Han's phone vibrated.

He glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly.

"Second Uncle?" He whispered to Wen Nuan, "Excuse me for a moment." Then, he walked out of the meeting room with his phone, leaving behind only a meaningful back...

Mo Han walked to the end of the corridor and answered the phone.

"Second uncle." He said in a cold tone.

On the other end of the phone, Uncle Mo's voice was filled with a hint of gloating: "Nephew Han, I heard that you found a girlfriend, and she is an abandoned daughter of the family? Tsk tsk tsk, when did your vision become so unique?" Mo Han frowned: "Uncle, I don't need to report my private affairs to you." "Private affairs? It's not a private matter now! The whole family is talking about it, saying that you are bewitched by a little girl and even ignore the interests of the family! If this gets out, where will our Mo family put our face?" Uncle Mo's voice became more and more sharp.

"The family meeting is going on right now. You'd better come over and explain yourself immediately!"

Mo Han hung up the phone, his face terribly gloomy.

He returned to the conference room and whispered to Wen Nuan, "I have something urgent to deal with, you go back first." Wen Nuan saw that he was in a bad mood, nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

The atmosphere in the Mo family's old house was tense.

Second Uncle Mo sat upright, pointed at Mo Han's nose and scolded: "Look at what you have done! For the sake of a woman, you disregarded the reputation of the family! Where can we put the face of our ancestors?" Mo Han fought back without showing any weakness: "Second Uncle, Wen Nuan is capable enough to be competent for this project, and her background does not mean anything." "Ability? What ability can an abandoned daughter of a family have? I think you have been drugged by her! I tell you, this woman must not be kept!" Second Uncle Mo slammed the table and stood up, furious.

On the other side, Wen Nuan did not retreat.

She went straight to Mr. Lin and placed a detailed project plan in front of him: "Mr. Lin, this is the plan I made for this cooperation. I believe that after reading it, you will have a new understanding of my abilities." Mr. Lin was a little disdainful at first, but when he opened the plan and saw the detailed data and analysis, as well as the profit distribution plan that was extremely tempting to both parties, the expression on his face gradually became serious.

He raised his head, his eyes full of inquiry: "Are you sure you did this alone?" Wen Nuan smiled slightly and said confidently: "Of course."

In the Mo family's old house, the quarrel continues.

"If you insist on being with this woman, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Mo Han sneered: "Second Uncle, you are meddling too much." He turned and left the meeting room, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Wen Nuan walked out of Mr. Lin's office, took a deep breath, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

"Hello?" A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ms. Wen Nuan, there are some things I think we need to talk about..."

Wen Nuan walked out of General Manager Lin's office. Before her confident smile had completely faded, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Unknown number.

She hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Hello?" A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Miss Wen Nuan, there are some things I think we need to talk about..."

In the antique pavilion in the back garden of the Mo family's old house, Mo Han gently held the warm hand, interlocking their fingers.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything." His deep eyes were full of determination, and his tone was so gentle that it almost dripped with tears.

"Don't take those old stubborn words to heart."

Wen Nuan leaned in his arms, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety in her heart.

"I know, but..." She raised her head, a hint of worry in her eyes, "I don't want to affect you and the Mo family because of me."

Mo Han chuckled and ruffled her hair.

"Silly girl, you are the one I have chosen, and no one can take you away from me." His tone was domineering, but full of doting.

At the same time, the Internet has exploded.

Reporter Bai’s report spread like a virus with a sensational headline: “A Cinderella appears in a wealthy family, is it true love or conspiracy?

》"The abandoned daughter of the family turns into a phoenix, is the young master of the Mo family being PUA?

》 Various speculations and insults filled the comment section, and the Mo family business was pushed to the forefront for a while.

Public Relations Officer Sun was extremely busy, contacting major platforms to delete negative comments while arranging for the public relations team to issue a clarification statement.

She rubbed her aching temples and cursed in her heart: This generation of netizens is so difficult to manage!

"Manager Sun, General Manager Lin's secretary called again and his tone was very rude." The assistant reported cautiously.

Public Relations Officer Sun took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

"I understand. I'll take care of it right away." After hanging up the phone, she picked up her cell phone and dialed Secretary He's number.

"Secretary He, regarding those rumors on the Internet..."

"Manager Sun, our General Manager Lin said that your company must give a reasonable explanation, otherwise..." Secretary He's voice was a little proud and full of threats.

Public Relations Officer Sun sneered and was about to retort when he suddenly heard Mr. Lin's voice on the other end of the line: "Xiao He, give me the phone."

Mr. Lin's voice sounded a little serious.

"Manager Sun, I think we need to discuss our cooperation again..." He paused and said meaningfully, "Some conditions may need to be renegotiated."

At the Mo family's old house, Mo Han hung up the phone with a terribly gloomy expression on his face.

He looked at Wen Nuan and said in a cold tone, "Boss Lin has changed his mind." Wen Nuan's heart sank suddenly...

My warm heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran up from the soles of my feet.

General Lin's change of mind undoubtedly made the situation worse.

She held Mo Han's hand tightly, and her fingertips turned white.

Mo Han's eyes were deep, his lips were tightly pursed, and a cold aura emanated from his body.

He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number. "Check immediately to see who leaked the news." His voice was low and dangerous, like the calm before the storm.

Secretary He hung up the phone with a smug smile on his face.

He seemed to have seen the scene where the Mo family had to bow to Mr. Lin and even give up the warmth in order to maintain the cooperation.

He hummed a little tune and walked briskly towards Mr. Lin's office. "Mr. Lin, the Mo family is scared! It seems that this trick of shocking the enemy is really working!"

President Lin was leisurely sipping tea. When he heard Secretary He's words, his face didn't show the expected joy. Instead, he frowned. "Are you scared? Have they agreed to our terms?"

Secretary He was stunned and said quickly, "Um... not really, but their tone has obviously softened a lot. I guess they will give in soon."

Mr. Lin put down the teacup and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making a crisp sound.

"Something's wrong. With Mo Han's personality, he shouldn't give in so easily..." He raised his head and stared at Secretary He sharply, "Are you sure you heard it right?"

Secretary He nodded quickly, "Absolutely not! I heard it clearly, they..."

However, before Secretary He could finish his words, Mr. Lin's cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed Mo Han.

Mr. Lin answered the phone, his tone inquiring, "Mr. Mo, why did you think of calling me?"

Mo Han's cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss Lin, I heard that you have new ideas about the terms of our cooperation?"

Mr. Lin was shocked. Mo Han's tone did not indicate any compromise, but rather a hint of toughness.

He subconsciously glanced at Secretary He, his eyes full of confusion.

At the same time, in the Mo family's old house, Mo Han hung up the phone with a sneer on his face.

He turned to look at Wen Nuan, his eyes full of pampering and determination, "Don't worry, this game has just begun." He patted Wen Nuan's hand gently, stood up and left the room.

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Tomorrow, accompany me to meet someone."

Wen Nuan was confused, but didn't ask any more questions.

She watched Mo Han's departing back, and an inexplicable premonition came over her...

This storm seemed even more violent than she had imagined.

"Who?"
