Lu Ning took a step forward, forcing Mo Shiyi to retreat in a sorry state.

Mo Shiyi's eyes were filled with panic. How did Lu Ning know all this?

Lu Ning's lips curled into a cold smile: "You want to know how I know? A simple investigation will tell you. Besides, the executives you poached, as well as those who participated in that project, are all willing to come forward and testify. Your Mo family's story ends here."

Mrs. Mo said loudly, "Impossible, they won't testify."

They had already bribed those people; there was no way they would betray them.

Lu Ning looked at Madam Mo with a mocking expression: "Back then, your Mo family coerced and bribed them to work for the Mo family, but after your Mo family took over completely, you found excuses to fire them all. Do you think they didn't have any complaints?"

These are all pieces of evidence that Su Jingbai investigated for her.

Lu Ning hadn't really thought of all this before.

If the people involved in that project back then are willing to come forward and testify, then the Mo family's motives will be quite clear.

Upon hearing this, Madam Mo's face turned deathly pale, and she could barely stand.

Mo Shanshan quickly helped her mother up: "Mom, are you alright?"

Hearing this, Mo Shanshan realized that her mother had indeed done those things back then.

Mo Shanshan looked at Mo Shiyi anxiously: "Sister, think of something! We can't let the family go bankrupt and Mom go to jail, can we?"

"Shut up! Am I a god? Can I do anything?"

Mo Shiyi looked at her mother: "Mom, why did you do that back then?"

If it weren't for what happened back then, the Mo family wouldn't be in their current situation.

Madam Mo slapped Mo Shiyi and said hysterically, "If it weren't for me, would you have been able to enjoy the good life of a young lady for so many years?"

Who is she doing all this for? Isn't it all for the good of this family?

Mo Shiyi covered her face and looked up at Ji Chiqian: "Chiqian, I beg you, can you please let the Mo family go?"

"Whether or not to let you go is a matter for the judge to decide."

Ji Chiqian said with a stern face: "Besides, it was Lu Ning who was almost ruined by you, not me. If you want to admit your mistake, you've come to the wrong person."

Mo Shiyi looked at Lu Ning, her eyes red, and said, "Lu Ning, I beg you, please let my mother go."

"Do you think it makes sense to say these things now? Miss Mo, you only came to beg for help because you saw that the Mo family was truly desperate. But if you were given even the slightest chance, you would have killed me without giving me any chance at all."

Lu Ning said in a low voice, "Just like how your mother killed my parents back then."

She's not a saint; she won't soften her heart just because the enemy kneels and begs for mercy.

Mo Shiyi was plunged into despair.

Mo Shanshan, who was standing next to Lu Ning, knelt down directly in front of Lu Ning: "Lu Ning, can I kneel down for you? It was all my fault before. I was ignorant and made you angry. You can do whatever you want to me, but please, just let the Mo family go this once, okay?"

Lu Ning pushed Mo Shanshan away, a cold smile playing on her lips: "It's not impossible, but there's a condition."

After she said that, everyone looked at her.

Lu Ning looked at Mo Shiyi and Mo Shanshan: "If you want to keep the Mo family from going bankrupt and live a good life, then make your mother admit everything she did in front of the judge."

Mo Shiyi asked, "What if we choose not to turn ourselves in and let the Mo family go bankrupt?"

Lu Ning glanced at Mo Shiyi: "There is no such option."

Mo Shiyi sneered: "But if my mother turns herself in, the Mo family will go bankrupt. In essence, it's the same thing."

Ji Chiqian, standing nearby, spoke up: "It's still different. At least the Mo family still has a chance to struggle. Haven't you been going on blind dates lately, trying to revive the Mo family through a marriage alliance with wealthy men?"

Mo Shiyi's face showed a look of panic: "How did you know?"

She did it very discreetly.

Lu Ning was somewhat surprised. She wondered why the Mo family had been so low-key lately. It turned out that Mo Shiyi was secretly plotting something.

Mo Shiyi quickly explained, "Ah Qian, let me explain. Actually, I've always had feelings for you."

"These things have nothing to do with me."

Ji Chiqian continued in a cold tone, "Unfortunately, no matter who you marry, the Mo family is destined to go bankrupt. Unless you consider the conditions Lu Ning just mentioned, I will not completely destroy the Mo family."

Mo Shiyi's lips trembled. How was this any different from annihilation?

Lu Ning looked up at Ji Chiqian, feeling somewhat conflicted. He really understood her; whatever she said, he would quickly cooperate with her.

Lu Ning looked at Madam Mo over there: "How about it, is this deal worthwhile? Sacrifice yourself to protect your daughter's life as a rich young lady. After all, what happened back then was done by you alone, and has nothing to do with the next generation. As long as you turn yourself in, all of this will be over."

Madam Mo gritted her teeth in anger: "Lu Ning, you are the most vicious one. Don't try to sow discord between us, mother and daughter."

But Mo Shiyi neither moved nor refused.

Madam Mo looked at Mo Shiyi: "Shiyi, you can't really agree to that bitch Lu Ning's conditions, can you? She stole your man and wants to destroy everything in the Mo family. Don't fall for it."

Mo Shanshan spoke up: "Mom, but you did do what happened back then. Anyway, it can't be covered up now, so why don't you turn yourself in? That way, the Mo family can still be saved."

Madam Mo raised her hand and slapped Mo Shanshan: "What did you say? Say it again! You also listened to your father, so you're betraying your own people?"

“But Dad is right, it’s you who dragged the Mo family down with you.”

Mo Shanshan didn't want to live a poor life; she used to hate penniless people the most.

If she became penniless, wouldn't her future be worse than death, and wouldn't she be ridiculed by her former friends and classmates? Mo Shanshan didn't want to live that kind of life; it was worse than death.

Madam Mo pushed Mo Shanshan away and took Mo Shiyi's hand: "Daughter, I've been so good to you since you were little, treating you like a princess. You can't treat me like this, right?"

Mo Shiyi's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't say anything.

Actually, she's confused now, wondering what to do.

The Mo family is no match for the Ji family, and the Ji family has refused Madam Mo's offer to donate a kidney, making it clear that they will not agree to the Mo family's request.

If the Mo family agrees to Lu Ning's conditions, they still have a chance.

If they don't agree, Mother will have no way to escape legal punishment and will also drag the Mo family down with her.

After realizing she was being tempted, Mo Shiyi looked at Lu Ning and said, "What a cruel choice."

"But compared to what I went through back then, this is nothing."

Lu Ning looked at Mo Shiyi coldly: "I'll give you one day to think it over. After that, I won't wait. I hope Miss Mo is a smart person and knows what the best choice is."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she turned around and drove away.

Mo Shiyi looked at Ji Chiqian: "Are you really going to side with Lu Ning?"

Ji Chiqian rolled up the car window, his eyes cold and indifferent, without saying a word.

Mo Shiyi ran a few steps toward the car and then stopped, hugging her arms and bursting into tears.

Mrs. Mo ran over: "Daughter, don't be afraid, we still have hope."

"Mom, tell me, where is there any hope?"

Mo Shiyi looked at Madam Mo with red eyes: "Mom, I really tried my best."

"Haven't you been seeing a lot of men lately? They're all just sycophants who like you. Choose someone who can help you. The Mo family won't go bankrupt, trust me."

Mo Shiyi smiled bitterly: "But as soon as those people's parents heard about the Mo family's situation, they immediately disagreed with us being together, let alone agreeing to my conditions for marriage."

Mo Shiyi is so proud. During this time, for the sake of the Mo family and her mother's affairs, she has trampled her dignity to the ground.

Even so, it still didn't work.

Her life was completely ruined, ruined by Lu Ning.
