From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 550: The Mo Family's Prosperity: A New Path to Glory

The Mo family mansion was brightly lit, and the brilliant crystal chandeliers reflected the luxurious decorations, but it could not dispel the tense atmosphere in the air.

Mo Han sat upright in the seat of the patriarch, tapping the table with his fingertips, one by one, as if knocking on everyone's heart.

Wen Nuan stood quietly beside him, wearing a long dress that dragged on the ground, elegant and calm, but her clenched hands revealed her inner anxiety.

The news brought by the signalman was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves.

In the Interstellar Alliance, several powerful families, including the Austin family, which has always maintained superficial friendship with the Mo family, actually united to implement a full-scale blockade of the Mo family.

Commercial routes were cut off, energy supplies were disrupted, and even some important scientific research projects were forced to stop.

"They are trying to force us into a dead end!" An elder slammed the table and stood up, his hair and beard standing on end, and anger almost bursting out of his eyes.

"We've just earned the status of a top family in the universe, and they're so impatient to take action! This is simply too much!"

There was an uproar in the hall, with people talking among themselves, and emotions of worry and anger were mixed together.

The Mo family had just experienced a fierce battle and their strength had not yet recovered. Now they were facing such a severe situation, which was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Wen Nuan felt Mo Han's fingers gently caressing her palm, and a warm current surged into her heart, making her feel a little calmer.

She knew that no matter what happened, this man would stand by her and face it with her.

Mo Han slowly stood up and swept his deep gaze over the crowd. A powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire hall, and the noisy voices gradually subsided.

He opened his thin lips slightly, his voice low and powerful: "Everyone, I know everyone is worried, but especially at times like this, we must remain calm."

He paused, his eyes falling on the signalman: "Is the news true?"

"It's absolutely true, Master." The signalman lowered his head and replied, "They have already issued a public statement condemning our Mo family for using banned weapons in the previous war and demanding that we hand them over..."

"Enough." Mo Han raised his hand to interrupt him. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but quickly disappeared.

He turned his head and looked out the window at the brilliant starry sky. He said meaningfully, "It seems that this peak of the universe is even more lively than I imagined." A subtle smile curved his lips. "Pass the word down. Cancel the family meeting tonight."

Mo Han's actions were beyond everyone's expectations.

He did not call family members together to discuss countermeasures, nor did he retaliate angrily like other family leaders. Instead, he ordered the preparation of a grand banquet and personally sent invitations to the family leaders who jointly boycotted the Mo family.

As soon as this news came out, the Mo family was in an uproar.

The elders expressed their opposition, believing that holding a banquet under such circumstances would be a humiliation to themselves, and some even suspected that Mo Han was crazy.

However, Mo Han remained unmoved. He simply smiled faintly and said, "It's times like this that require us to demonstrate our strength and grace."

On the day of the banquet, the Mo family mansion was decorated with lights and it was as bright as day.

The invited family leaders arrived one after another, all with a hint of confusion and curiosity on their faces, not understanding what Mo Han was up to.

At the climax of the banquet, Mo Han brought everyone to the exhibition hall of the Mo family’s latest scientific research achievements.

In the center of the hall, a huge energy device stood quietly, emitting a mysterious light.

Mo Han pressed the start button, and the device instantly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall.

"This is the latest energy device developed by our Mo family. It can provide energy output several times higher than existing energy sources." Mo Han's voice was steady and powerful, and every word struck the hearts of everyone present.

"Everyone, this is just the tip of the iceberg of our Mo family's technological strength."

Afterwards, Mo Han demonstrated the Mo family's scientific research achievements in other fields, from interstellar navigation to weapons and equipment, each of which far surpassed other families.

Those family leaders who originally had contempt and hostility now showed expressions of surprise and envy.

The head of the Austin family, a burly middle-aged man, walked up to Mo Han and said with a hint of awe in his tone, "Master Mo, it seems that we have underestimated the strength of the Mo family."

Mo Han raised his glass, his lips curled up slightly. "Win-win cooperation is the future of interstellar development."

After the banquet, Mo Han returned to the study and found Wen Nuan sitting by the window, looking at the starry sky outside.

She turned her head and looked at Mo Han with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Do you really believe they will change their minds?"

Mo Han walked to her and gently put his arm around her shoulders: "No"

Wen Nuan was dressed in a gorgeous dress, like the brightest star in the night sky. She gracefully accompanied Mo Han, and with a sweet smile, she introduced the Mo family's latest scientific research results to the guests.

Her explanation of each technology was simple and easy to understand, which not only demonstrated the strength of the Mo family, but also highlighted her own talent.

Mo Han's gaze always followed her, his eyes full of love and pride, as if the whole world only had the two of them.

The atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak after Mo Han demonstrated the energy device. Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate the Mo family.

However, in this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, undercurrents are surging.

The burly middle-aged man, the head of the Austin family, clinked glasses with Mo Han and said in a low voice, "Master Mo, can you share the technology of this energy device with us? We can pay the corresponding price."

His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The faces of everyone in the Mo family changed, and they all showed angry expressions.

An elder angrily shouted, "Master Austin, what do you mean by this? Can you share the Mo family's technology just because you say so?"

The head of the Austin family smiled indifferently and said, "Head of the Mo family, you should understand that a monopoly is not a long-term solution. It is wise to cooperate with us." There was a hint of threat in his tone, as if the Mo family would face greater pressure if they did not agree.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Wen Nuan felt Mo Han's hand gently pinching her palm, and she knew that Mo Han had made a decision.

Mo Han curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, staring directly at the head of the Austin family with a sharp gaze, and slowly said: "Head of the Austin family, it seems that you still don't understand..." He paused, and his eyes swept over everyone present, "Things of the Mo family have never been meant to be shared." He held the warm hand tightly, interlocking their fingers.

As soon as Mo Han finished speaking, everyone in the Mo family burst into deafening cheers.

They are full of confidence in Mo Han's decisiveness and strength, and believe that under his leadership, the Mo family will be able to overcome all challenges.

The head of the Austin family's face turned pale. He didn't expect Mo Han to be so tough and not give him any face at all.

He snorted coldly and walked away. Seeing this, the leaders of other families also said goodbye.

After the banquet, everyone in the Mo family was still immersed in excitement. They congratulated Mo Han and praised his wise decision.

However, Mo Han did not show any joy at all. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were shining with a deep light.

He knew that this banquet was just the calm before the storm and the real challenge had just begun.

"Han, what are you thinking about?" Wen Nuan walked to Mo Han and asked with concern.

Mo Han gently hugged Wen Nuan's shoulders and said, "I wonder if those families will just give up?"

Wen Nuan shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not. They will definitely find ways to deal with us."

A cold light flashed in Mo Han's eyes, and he said, "Then let them come. I want to see what other tricks they have."

In the next few days, the Mo family strengthened their vigilance and were on high alert.

However, those families did not take any action, as if they had given up their boycott of the Mo family.

This abnormal calmness made everyone in the Mo family feel uneasy. They realized that the calm before the storm often means that a bigger storm is about to come.

One night, Mo Han was processing documents in his study when he suddenly received an urgent message.

After reading the message, his face changed suddenly and he stood up suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Wen Nuan noticed that Mo Han was acting strangely and asked quickly.

Mo Han took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "They have started to act..." He handed the message in his hand to Wen Nuan. After reading it, Wen Nuan's face became solemn.

The news said that those families began to spread rumors about the Mo family in the universe, trying to discredit the Mo family's image.

"They want to..." Wen Nuan was interrupted by Mo Han before she could finish her words.

"I know what they want to do," Mo Han's eyes flashed with anger, "They want to destroy the Mo family's reputation and make us lose the support of the people."

He walked to the window, looked at the dark night sky outside, and muttered to himself: "It seems that this war has just begun..." He turned his head and said to Wen Nuan: "Get ready, we will set off tomorrow."

"Where are we going?" Wen Nuan asked.

Mo Han's lips curled up into a cold smile, "Go meet those old friends..."
