Kapitel 8: Chapter 8 How They Got Together
```
"Let's go," Mo Nanze whispered, cutting through Lu Yinfeng's thoughts.
He took a step forward, heading towards the garage.
Lu Yinfeng followed him instinctively, without a chance to think.
Along the way, she kept her head down, pondering to herself.
She had heard from the Mo family's old servant that Mo Nanze was only acknowledged by Mo Qingfeng at the age of fifteen. At that time, his half-brothers all treated him as an enemy over the family inheritance, and they grouped together to target Mo Nanze for a long time, not allowing him to get involved with Mo Group's business.
Even their children didn't show any affection toward Mo Nanze, only addressing him as "Little Uncle" in front of Old Master Mo to keep up appearances.
It was only in recent years that Mo Nanze, having made a name for himself as a top lawyer, became increasingly necessary to the Mo family, and his status began to rise.
As for their grudges, they turned into undercurrents beneath the tranquility.
"By the way, Little Uncle, do you really know the contents of Grandpa's will?" Lu Yinfeng suddenly asked, "I agreed to this shotgun marriage with you to get back at Mo Qianyan, but what about you? Why are you willing to do something that draws so much negative attention?"
By this time, they had reached the garage and stopped in front of the black Cayenne.
Lu Yinfeng, looking at Mo Nanze's back, was very nervous, her fingers fidgeting continuously.
Mo Nanze turned around and looked at Lu Yinfeng intently, his gaze dark and cold.
"Firstly, I have no interest or the right to know the contents of the will in advance, and Lawyer Zhang wouldn't break his professional ethics to disclose a client's private information to me."
Lu Yinfeng looked abashed, quickly explaining, "Little Uncle, that's not what I meant! I was just asking..."
"Don't worry, even if you weren't married to me, it wouldn't change the fact that you're a legal heir."
As a lawyer, Mo Nanze would surely understand these matters well.
Lu Yinfeng was more confused than ever.
"Then why did you announce our marriage in public, emphasizing that I am still a daughter-in-law of the Mo Family..."
"I said it because I wanted to," Mo Nanze replied indifferently.
"Little Uncle... you really have a mind of your own," Lu Yinfeng said with a forced laugh.
Mo Nanze drove off, speeding down the road away from the Mo Family Mansion with Lu Yinfeng in tow.
Lu Yinfeng looked out the window at the rapidly passing scenery, feeling a bit melancholic.
Her reputation in the Mo family was surely ruined.
She could imagine the Mo family members talking to their friends, saying, "That Lu Yinfeng is such a vixen, just divorced Mo Qianyan and immediately married Mo Nanze, jumping up a generation in status."
Or, "Lu Yinfeng approached Old Master Mo just for his money. Don't be fooled by her innocent look, she's really cunning at heart!"
Meanwhile, the living room of the Mo Family Mansion was as noisy as a boiling pot.
Everyone was discussing, wanting to know when Lu Yinfeng and Mo Nanze had gotten together.
"Qianyan, you tell us, what on earth is going on!" Mo Yiming banged on the table and demanded.
"Qianyan, you better give everyone an explanation. Last time we met, Lu Yinfeng was still your wife. It hasn't been that long, and she's already someone else's wife! You've really made me lose face!" Mo Yining, Mo Qianyan's father, who was usually a mild-mannered person, was also extremely angry, barely able to contain his temper.
After Lu Yinfeng and Mo Nanze left, Mo Qianyan naturally became the target of everyone's criticism.
Mo Qianyan couldn't keep his composure under everyone's scrutinizing gaze.
"Big Uncle, Second Uncle, Dad, brothers and sisters," he said to them, without his previous agitation, speaking earnestly, "My marriage to Lu Yinfeng was just to put Grandpa's mind at ease. As to how those two got together, I really don't know! Maybe... before we got divorced..."
"Of course you wouldn't know, you rarely come home in these last few years. Situations like this are prime for wearing a green hat," Mo Zhiyan chipped in with a smirk.
Being less than two years apart in age and both male, the family had always compared them, which led to a poor relationship between the two over the years.
Now that it was time to laugh at Mo Qianyan, Mo Zhiyan certainly wouldn't let the opportunity slip by.
"You! Quit your damn nonsense!" Mo Qianyan was angry, but he dared not lash out at Mo Zhiyan in front of the elders.
"This isn't about the divorce from that woman!" Mo Qianyan said sternly, "After Grandpa passed away, none of his own grandchildren got a penny. Instead, that Lu woman got so much. Are you guys content with that!"
Mo Qianyan directed this question at his cousins of his generation.
```
Just now when Mo Nanze was present, he mainly stirred up the disputes of the older generation; now, it was time for their generation to unite.
The few looked at each other in silence, and though no one spoke, anyone with insight could see that no one was willing to let such a thing happen.
At this time, Lawyer Zhang and the public notary's witnessing staff, who had been silently observing from a corner and had witnessed quite a drama, finally got the chance to take the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Mo family, on behalf of Old Master Mo Qingfeng and our law firm, I assure you that there are absolutely no issues with the procedures or contents of this will. Should there be any objections, they can first be resolved through negotiation; if that fails, mediation and litigation can be sought," Lawyer Zhang said.
After taking care of their responsibilities, Lawyer Zhang and the notary staff hurriedly left the place of dispute.
In the hall at this time, only the true Mo family members remained.
Mo Yiming and several other older family members had already received ample shares of the inheritance; they had their own businesses to attend to and, although somewhat displeased, did not wish to waste any more time.
After reaching a consensus, the three of them left first, leaving the hall emptier with only the younger generation remaining.
In the tense atmosphere, it was Mo Zhiyan who spoke first again.
"To be honest, during the two years the grandfather was ill, it was Lu Yinfeng who stayed by his side. On this point, she has done better than us grandchildren," he said.
"That's because she has ulterior motives! She covets the Mo family's fortune, of course, she could do it!" Mo Qianyan shouted angrily.
Mo Zhiyan shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is probably the last lesson grandfather taught us: those who didn't treat him well, even if they are his own grandchildren, get nothing from his will."
"Fourth brother! Why do you always take that woman's side?" Mo Qianyan yelled angrily, "Are you also infatuated with that woman? She should have married you in the first place!"
"What I'm saying is the truth," Mo Zhiyan replied with an indifferent smile, "No worries, anyway, the inheritance our father got isn't small; when they pass away, it will still be ours."
"Zhiyan! Shut up!" Mo Xinman scolded.
Luckily, Mo family members knew of Mo Zhiyan's usual careless and shocking way of speaking, so they didn't react much to what he just said.
Then, Mo Wenjing, the quiet fifth sibling who had barely spoken, weakly made herself heard.
"Let's not argue anymore, brothers, and sisters. Qianyan, why don't you go talk to Lu Yinfeng? We can pool some money together to buy this mansion?" she suggested.
"Buy?" Mo Qianyan became even angrier, "This is the Mo family's old mansion, I've been here since I was born, why should I have to pay to buy it?"
There was a deeper reason that Mo Qianyan did not voice.
He wanted to have sole possession of the old mansion because he had already found a buyer willing to pay a huge amount to purchase it.
The group argued for a long while without coming to any conclusion and ended up leaving in displeasure.
Mo Nanze drove Lu Yinfeng to the beach, and they got out of the car to walk towards the chaotic rocky shore.
The night breeze was messing up Lu Yinfeng's hair.
While she struggled to push her obstructive hair out of her face, she also had to watch her steps.
But in a careless moment, Lu Yinfeng misstepped and lost her balance, crying out in alarm.
"Ah!"
In the nick of time, Lu Yinfeng's arm was seized by a strong force.
Looking up, she saw that it was Mo Nanze.
"Little Uncle, thank you," said Lu Yinfeng as she steadied herself by holding onto Mo Nanze's hand, expressing her thanks and her complaint, "Little Uncle, why would you think to come to the beach in the middle of the night when it's so dark?"
The stars were bright tonight, and the streetlights on the coastal road were sufficiently bright.
Mo Nanze could clearly see Lu Yinfeng's beautiful face and her puzzled expression.
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the car just now?" Mo Nanze said softly.
"I didn't know what you were up to, I was scared to be all alone!"
These past two days, they had spoken more words to each other than in the three years prior combined.
Before this, for Lu Yinfeng, Mo Nanze was nothing more than a person whose name she could call and whose face she could recognize but otherwise a stranger.
However, many gossips shared by the old servants of the Mo family had also caused Lu Yinfeng to misunderstand Mo Nanze.
Gazing at the dark sea, Mo Nanze said softly, "When I'm not happy, I like to come to the beach."
