From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 94: The truth behind my life story: The aftermath

Wen Nuan's reconciliation with her biological family seemed to be a perfect ending to outsiders.

News reports portrayed her as a model of tolerance and magnanimity, and praise poured in.

However, the atmosphere inside the Mo family mansion was subtle and tense.

Although Grandma Mo did not express her opposition explicitly, a hint of worry often flashed between her brows, and some elders who were usually warm and kind became polite and distant.

Wen Nuan was keenly aware of this change and felt vaguely uneasy.

She decided to take the initiative and break this barrier.

On a sunny afternoon, Wen Nuan invited all members of the Mo family to the hall. She took a deep breath and slowly revealed the secret that she had hidden in her heart for many years. From the helplessness of being abandoned at a young age, to the struggle after learning the truth, to the relief of finally choosing to forgive, she did not hide anything and her tone was sincere and earnest.

She explained her mother's helplessness back then and also confessed her complicated feelings towards her biological family.

She emphasized that reconciliation is not weakness, but to let go of the past and better embrace the future. It also avoids unnecessary disputes and maintains the reputation of the Mo family.

Her warm and clear narration, coupled with the kindness and tenacity she had shown in the Mo family over the years, gradually softened the expressions of some elders, with understanding and sympathy in their eyes.

Grandma Mo also listened quietly, the Buddhist beads in her hand slowly turning, as if she was thinking about something.

Just when Wen Nuan thought everything was going in the right direction, a highly respected elder slowly spoke...

"Wuhan," he said in a heavy tone, "your story is indeed touching, but..."

"Wu Nuan," Old Man Mo, the elder of the Mo family, spoke slowly with a heavy tone, "Your story is indeed touching, but marriage into a wealthy family is no joke. Your involvement with your biological family may bring unknown risks to the Mo family. You have now reconciled with them, but who can guarantee that they will not use you to achieve certain goals? Wealth, status... human hearts are unpredictable." His words were loud and clear, and the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.

Wen Nuan's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect that Mr. Mo would express his doubts so directly.

She tried hard to control her emotions and was about to explain, but Mr. Mo said first: "Mo Han married you because of your kindness and independence, but now it seems that you are not as simple as we thought." There was a hint of contempt in his tone, as if his warm kindness had become a disguise.

"Mr. Mo, you're going too far!" Wen Nuan could no longer remain calm, her tone becoming sharp. "I confessed my past to demonstrate my sincerity, not to accept your judgment! I reconciled with my family for my own sake, to avoid unnecessary disputes, and to maintain the Mo family's reputation. What's wrong with that?"

The argument between the two became more and more intense, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense.

At this moment, Lawyer Lin, who had been silent all this time, stood up.

"Mr. Mo," he said calmly but firmly, "From a legal perspective, Miss Wen Nuan's reconciliation with her biological family is not only innocent, but actually beneficial to maintaining the stability of the Mo family. Imagine if Miss Wen Nuan had a bad relationship with her biological family, and the media were to speculate on it, it would actually cause even greater damage to the Mo family's reputation."

Lawyer Lin paused and continued, "From the perspective of the family's long-term interests, Miss Wen Nuan's tolerance and magnanimity demonstrate the Mo family's breadth of mind and magnanimity. For a family that has stood for a hundred years, this is an intangible asset." His argument was clear and logical, leaving Old Man Mo speechless, his face turning pale and blue.

Just as Mr. Mo was about to refute, Dr. Chen suddenly pushed the door open, his face serious, and a document in his hand.

"Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo," he looked at Mo Han and Wen Nuan, his tone hurried, "I just received the news..."

Doctor Chen's face was solemn, and the document in his hand was shaking slightly.

"Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo," he said hurriedly, looking at Mo Han and Wen Nuan. "I just received news that reporter He got a copy of the so-called 'True Story of Wen Nuan's Abandonment' from somewhere. The contents... the contents completely distort the facts, saying that Miss Wen Nuan wasn't abandoned, but was expelled from her biological family for... some unspeakable reasons!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and the atmosphere, which had been gradually easing, became tense again.

The Buddhist beads in Grandma Mo's hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Some elders who had originally had a good impression of Wen Nuan were once again filled with suspicion and scrutiny.

Wen Nuan felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She held Mo Han's hand tightly, and her fingertips turned white.

Mo Han held the warmth tightly in his backhand, his eyes firm and gentle, silently giving her strength.

"Ridiculous!" Lawyer Lin was the first to break the silence, his tone sharp. "This is complete slander! We have sufficient evidence to prove what happened to Miss Wen Nuan back then. Reporter He's actions have seriously violated Miss Wen Nuan's right to reputation!"

Doctor Chen added, "This so-called 'truth' is full of loopholes and its content is nonsense. It is obvious that someone deliberately fabricated it to destroy the reputation of Miss Wen Nuan and the Mo family."

"Who is it? Who is manipulating all this behind the scenes?" Grandma Mo's face turned pale and her voice trembled slightly.

Although she still had doubts about Wen Nuan's background, she would never allow anyone to maliciously slander a member of the Mo family.

Mo Han's eyes were like torches as he scanned the entire room, his tone icy: "I will investigate thoroughly. No matter who it is, if anyone dares to slander Wen Nuan like this, I will never let him go!" He turned to look at Wen Nuan, his eyes gentle but firm, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Wen Nuan shook his hand back, feeling the warmth of his palm, and her heart gradually calmed down.

She knew that no matter how many storms lay ahead, she would not back down, because she had Mo Han, love, and the truth.

Just then, the housekeeper rushed in with a panicked look on his face, "Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo, outside... outside..." He stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"What's going on outside?" Mo Han's tone was cold, with a hint of impatience.

The butler took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "Outside...reporters...a lot of reporters..." As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the hall was pushed open and a group of reporters swarmed in. Flashlights flashed one after another, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

A sharp voice rang out in the crowd: "Ms. Wen Nuan, what is your response to the rumors online? Are you really...?"

"Enough!" Mo Han roared, shocking the entire audience.

He shielded Wen Nuan behind him, his eyes icy as he scanned the reporters before him, and said word by word, "It's none of your business to meddle with my wife's life story!" He paused, his tone even sharper, "Now, get out!"

The reporters were intimidated by Mo Han's aura and did not dare to step forward for a moment.

Amidst the chaos, reporter He's sharp voice rang out again: "Mr. Mo, are you defending Miss Wen Nuan so much because you feel guilty? Could the rumors be true..."

Before she could finish her words, Lawyer Lin interrupted her: "Reporter He, please be careful with your words! The rumors you're talking about are completely baseless and pure slander! We've gathered enough evidence and will file a lawsuit against you!"

Reporter He, however, was not afraid at all. He sneered, "Evidence? Who knows if your evidence is fabricated? Miss Wen Nuan, do you dare to tell everyone in front of them the real reason why you were expelled?"

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and was about to speak, but Mo Han held her hand tightly.

His eyes were firm, and his tone was gentle but unquestionable: "Wen Nuan, ignore them. Those who are innocent will be innocent. We don't need to explain to anyone."

He turned to the reporters and said in a cold tone, "I'll say this one last time. Now, get out! Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

With Mo Han's strong intervention, the reporters were eventually expelled by security.

The hall returned to calm again, but the atmosphere became more solemn.

Grandma Mo sighed and said slowly, "Wen Nuan, I know you've been wronged, but the impact of this incident is too great. The Mo family's reputation cannot be damaged. Do you... do you understand what I mean?"

Wen Nuan nodded, her tone firm: "Grandma, I understand. I will handle this matter well and will not bring shame to the Mo family."

She looked around at everyone with a firm gaze, her tone strong and powerful: "I know that to fully gain the Mo family's approval, I still have one last step..." She paused, her gaze fell on Mo Han, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "And this step requires us to complete it together."

Mo Han gave Wen Nuan a firm look in return and nodded slightly.

Suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the silence in the hall.

Mo Han answered the phone and his expression instantly became serious.

He hung up the phone, looked at Wen Nuan, and said in a low voice: "Wu Nuan, your mother...something happened."
