From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 72 Breakthrough Peak: Glory and New Beginning

The noise downstairs became clearer and clearer, like the sound of something being turned over.

Wen Nuan's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came over her.

"It can't be..." She turned around abruptly, opened the door, and ran downstairs.

The door of the study was ajar, and a faint light came through from inside.

Wen Nuan walked lightly and approached cautiously. Through the crack in the door, she saw a familiar figure rummaging through drawers - it was her father!

"What is he doing?" Wen Nuan was shocked and a surge of anger instantly rose up in her heart.

She flung the door open and shouted, "What are you doing?!"

Wen Nuan's father was startled by the sudden sound and the documents in his hands fell to the ground.

When he saw the warmth, a flash of panic crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Wen Nuan, you...why are you here?"

"I should be the one asking you this!" Wen Nuan glared at her father with a cold tone, "What are you doing sneaking into my office?"

Wen Nuan's father's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "I...I just came to see you."

"Look at me? In the middle of the night, you're rummaging through boxes and drawers to look at me?" Wen Nuan sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid?" She bent down to pick up the documents scattered on the ground, and was shocked to find that they were the core information of an international cooperation project!

"You...you misunderstood!" Wen Nuan's father hurried forward and wanted to snatch the documents back, but was pushed away by Wen Nuan.

"Misunderstanding? Do you think I'll believe your lies?" Wen Nuan clutched the documents tightly, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment. "What on earth do you want to do?"

"Wen Nuan, Daddy is desperate..." Wen Nuan's father's tone softened, with a hint of pleading, "Please help Daddy."

"Help you? How? Keep giving you money so you can gamble?" The warm voice was filled with sarcasm. "I'm telling you, it's impossible! I won't let you ruin my life again!"

"You... you unfilial daughter!" Wen Nuan's father was furious and pointed at her, cursing, "If it weren't for me, you would have starved to death on the streets! Now that you've become rich, you've turned your back on me?"

"I'm rich because of my own hard work. It has nothing to do with you!" Wen Nuan shot back without showing any weakness. "Not only did you fail to raise me, but you treated me like a cash cow. What right do you have to criticize me?"

"You..." Wen Nuan's father was furious and grabbed Wen Nuan's wrist. "Give me the file! Otherwise I will destroy it!"

"You dare!" Wen Nuan shook off her father's hand. "If you dare touch these documents, I will call the police!"

"You..." Wen Nuan's father's face turned pale. He knew that Wen Nuan was not joking.

His eyes rolled, and his expression suddenly changed. He pleaded bitterly, "Wen Nuan, Dad knows he was wrong. Please forgive Dad this time. Dad will never dare to do it again."

Wen Nuan felt sick when she saw her father's hypocritical look.

"It's too late!" she said coldly, "There's no relationship between us anymore!"

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open again, and Mo Han's figure appeared at the door.

He looked at the two people who were on the verge of a fight, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"what happened?"

Mo Han's appearance instantly froze the originally chaotic scene.

He folded his arms and leaned against the door frame in a leisurely manner, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife as he swept over Wen Nuan and her father.

"What kind of cosplay is this, late at night? A family drama?"

When Wen Nuan's father saw Mo Han, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and his momentum suddenly diminished.

He faltered in his explanation: "Mr. Mo... Mr. Mo, I... I just came to see Wen Nuan..."

Mo Han raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "Oh? To see Wen Nuan? You need to rummage through boxes and cabinets, and do it in a sneaky way? If you don't know, you'd think you were stealing business secrets."

Wen Nuan's father's face was pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He subconsciously looked at the documents scattered on the ground, thinking to himself that something was wrong.

Mo Han followed his gaze to the document, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Tsk tsk, this is not an ordinary document, it is the core information of an international cooperation project. Father-in-law, your way of 'caring' is really unique." He deliberately emphasized the four words "father-in-law", and the sarcasm in his tone was more obvious.

Wen Nuan's father opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that he had no way to defend himself.

Mo Han didn't give him another chance to speak, he just picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Security, come to the president's office. Someone is breaking in and trying to steal business secrets."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and looked at his warm father with a smile.

"Father-in-law, please wait here patiently. I believe the law will give you a fair judgment."

Wen Nuan's father was completely panicked. He fell to his knees, hugged Wen Nuan's legs, and cried for mercy: "Wen Nuan, Dad was wrong! Dad was really wrong! Please help Dad! Dad will never dare to do it again!"

Wen Nuan shook his hand off in disgust, her tone cold: "I've already said that there is no relationship between us anymore!"

Soon, the security arrived and took Wen Nuan's father away.

Mr. Mo Si also came over after hearing the news. When he saw this scene, he looked at Wen Nuan with eyes full of admiration.

"Wen Nuan, you did a great job." Fourth Master Mo patted her shoulder, a hint of relief in his tone. "You didn't let family affection blind you. You protected the interests of the company and your own dignity." He turned to the crowd and said firmly, "From today on, anyone who dares to use Wen Nuan's background as an excuse will be punished by my Mo family!"

My heart felt warm, and a sense of belonging that I had never felt before came over me.

Mo Han walked to Wen Nuan, held her hand, and interlocked their fingers.

He looked at her, his eyes gentle but firm: "From now on, I will protect you."

Wen Nuan held his hand back, a faint smile on her lips.

She knew that she had finally found her own safe haven.

At this time, translator Chen hurried over and whispered to Wen Nuan, "Wu Nuan, Mr. Li wants to talk to you alone..." There was a gleam of approval in Mr. Li's shrewd eyes.

He walked up to Wen Nuan, extended his hand, and said sincerely, "Ms. Wen Nuan, your performance today impressed me. The decisiveness and courage with which you handled things are exactly the qualities we need in a partner."

Wen Nuan shook hands with Mr. Li gracefully and responded with a smile, "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Li. I will do my best to ensure the smooth progress of the project."

Mr. Li smiled brightly. "I believe you. In fact, after observing us today, I've decided to increase my investment by 20%. I believe that working with you will create greater value."

This sudden good news excited everyone present.

Even the usually old-fashioned Mr. Mo couldn't help but reveal a relieved smile.

He walked up to Wen Nuan, patted her shoulder, and said with a hint of appreciation: "Girl, you have brought honor to our Mo family!"

Afterwards, the Mo family held a high-level meeting.

At the meeting, Mr. Mo Si announced the appointment of Wen Nuan as deputy director of the Mo Group's strategic development department, responsible for the cooperation project with General Manager Li.

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

Those who used to be sarcastic and prejudiced against Wen Nuan have now changed their attitudes and look at her with admiration.

They began to realize that this seemingly weak girl actually possessed a strong heart and extraordinary abilities.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wen Nuan calmly accepted the appointment.

She knew that this was not only a recognition of her ability, but also a challenge to her.

She will use her own strength to prove that she deserves this honor.

That evening, the Mo family held a grand dinner to celebrate the successful cooperation with Mr. Li.

The whole banquet hall was filled with laughter and joy as elegant people dressed up and clinked glasses.

Mo Han walked over to Wen Nuan, gently put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Are you ready?"

Wen Nuan was slightly stunned and looked up at him.

Mo Han's eyes were as deep as the night sky, flashing with a heart-pounding light.

"what?"

Mo Han smiled mysteriously, leaned close to her ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Witness the moment of miracle..."

The light from the crystal chandelier poured down, illuminating the banquet hall like daylight.

Mo Han raised his glass, and the crisp clinking sound attracted everyone's attention.

His deep gaze was fixed on Wen Nuan, and a doting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Today, I want to introduce a very important person to you all," Mo Han's voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of unconcealable excitement. "She is not only my wife, but also the most dazzling light in my life."

Wen Nuan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect Mo Han to make their relationship public in such an occasion.

She subconsciously looked at Mo Han, but was melted by the affection in his eyes.

"Wife, I know you've always been very low-key and don't like to show off," Mo Han gently held Wen Nuan's hand, with a hint of apology in his tone, "but tonight, I must let everyone know how important you are to me."

Her warm eyes were slightly moist, she nodded vigorously, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"From a girl abandoned by her family to the current deputy director of the Mo Group, your strength and hard work have earned my immense admiration," Mo Han's voice rose in pitch, a hint of pride lingering in it. "You are not only my wife, but also my hero!"

The whole audience erupted in thunderous applause. Wen Nuan was held tightly in Mo Han's arms, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him.

At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

However, amidst the laughter and joy, Wen Nuan keenly sensed something strange.

She felt several cold gazes falling on her, filled with hostility and jealousy.

A sense of uneasiness rose in Wen Nuan's heart. She subconsciously looked at Mo Han, but found that he was also looking at her, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Wen Nuan asked softly.

Mo Han shook his head slightly, a meaningful smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Nothing," he paused, a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone, "I just feel that this feast seems... a little too perfect."

Just then, a servant hurried to Mo Han and whispered something in his ear.

Mo Han's expression instantly became solemn. He held Wen Nuan's hand tightly, his voice low and hurried.

"let's go."
