Lu Yinfeng followed behind Mo Nanze, walking out of the door.
Mo Nanze suddenly stopped, and Lu Yinfeng, caught off guard, bumped into his solid back.
Just as Lu Yinfeng was about to complain, Mo Nanze abruptly grabbed her hand.
She peeked ahead with confusion and saw Mo Qianyan with his parents, Mo Yining and Lin Yue, sitting on the living room sofa, looking over seriously.
Lu Yinfeng's heart panicked instantaneously, and she hid behind Mo Nanze's back.
He had become a major source of her sense of security.
"Nanze, Yinfeng, let's talk," Mo Yining took the lead, making a gesturing motion to invite Mo Nanze and Lu Yinfeng to sit down.
With a trace of disdain on his face, Mo Nanze replied, "There's nothing for us to talk about."
Mo Qianyan's face bore marks of a fight, and with a resentful look, he glared hatefully at Mo Nanze and Lu Yinfeng.
Mo Nanze mocked internally, How old is he to still rely on his parents to back him up after losing a fight?
With anger in his heart, Mo Yining turned towards Lu Yinfeng and said sternly, "Yinfeng! Sit down!"
He couldn't really confront Mo Nanze, but he could exert some pressure on Lu Yinfeng.
Seeing her ex-father-in-law angry, Lu Yinfeng shuddered and reflexively tightened her grip on Mo Nanze's hand.
Mo Nanze looked over and asked Lu Yinfeng, "Do you want to talk to them? If you don't want to, I'll take you away."
Lu Yinfeng hesitated for a while before gathering her courage to say, "Let's talk."
Mo Nanze nodded lightly and then sat down with Lu Yinfeng in front of Mo Qianyan's family of three.
Lu Yinfeng tensed up nervously, rubbing her hands non-stop on her knees.
Mo Nanze's hand was on Lu Yinfeng's back, gently patting.
"Then let's talk," Mo Nanze spoke up first, "You all should be clear that the current owner of this mansion is Lu Yinfeng, and your son tried to sell this place by deceitful and secretive means. If President Li wants to pursue the matter, it could potentially lead to a fraud case being filed at its worst."
Mo Nanze expressed the facts with a detached demeanor.
Mo Yining and Lin Yue both looked at Mo Qianyan, their eyes filled with doubt and questioning.
Mo Qianyan retorted, "Don't think you can intimidate me!"
"Then you can wait for the court's subpoena," Mo Nanze said with a slight chuckle, touching his forehead, "I forgot to mention, Shengnan Law Firm is now fully in charge of the legal affairs for Sea Light Group."
Mo Yining and Lin Yue exchanged glances, realizing the gravity of the situation.
"Nanze, don't be like this. We're all family; after all, Qianyan is your nephew," Mo Yining's tone softened, and he did not forget to glare at Mo Qianyan.
"Tch," Mo Qianyan scoffed with defiance.
Lin Yue was a noblewoman spoiling her child, always finding ways to cover for Mo Qianyan's mistakes.
Lin Yue smiled elegantly and said, "Qianyan's father and I will personally apologize to President Li. Nanze, when the time comes, please say a few good words for us, and we can consider this matter settled, so as not to harm the good relations between the Mo Family and the Li Family."
Mo Nanze kept a poker face, adjusting his gold-framed glasses.
Lin Yue knew that Mo Nanze had implicitly accepted her proposal.
She then turned to look at Lu Yinfeng, revealing an even kinder smile, "Yinfeng, during the years you were married to Qianyan, it was Qianyan who wronged you. But... you shouldn't have done such a thing either!"
Lin Yue appeared heartbroken, "A woman's reputation is very important. You and Mo Nanze had already hooked up, hadn't you? Having an affair during marriage... I can't imagine how heartbroken your father would be if he found out."
Lu Yinfeng felt somewhat at a loss, not daring to look at Lin Yue.
Her impression of this former mother-in-law was neither good nor bad, as she had little contact with her, and only saw her as a woman who still retained her charm.
"Mom, don't talk to that cheap woman, aren't you disgusted?" Mo Qianyan said contemptuously.
He just couldn't stand Lu Yinfeng's pretentiousness as if she was the wronged party.
"You—" Lu Yinfeng panicked, pointing at Mo Qianyan as a multitude of insults surged through her mind.
"Qianyan, shut up!" Mo Yining rebuked sternly, cutting off what was about to turn into a barrage of insults, "Today we sit here to discuss matters calmly and peacefully."
"Mo Nanze, the things you've done have really brought shame to the Mo Family," Mo Yining looked at Mo Nanze and said seriously, "This matter is currently only known within the Mo Family and hasn't spread. You should divorce Lu Yinfeng as soon as possible."
Mo Yining paused, then turned to Lu Yinfeng, "As for this house, I don't know what you've said to Old Master Mo to make such a decision. Here's what we'll do – name your price, and I, Mo Yining, will personally buy it from you."
Mo Nanze sat in a relaxed posture, legs crossed, his expression cold and dismissive of everyone.
He could foresee that this so-called discussion was merely them pressuring him.
Lu Yinfeng took a deep breath and endeavored to restrain her emotional turbulence.
"Mr. Mo Yining, Ms. Lin Yue," Lu Yinfeng stood up and said in a restrained manner to the two of them, "Both of you are very busy people, usually not paying enough attention to Qianyan and not understanding me. But I swear, during my marriage to Qianyan, I have never done anything to wrong him. As for Little Uncle... no, for my private matters with Mo Nanze, it's none of your business to intervene."
Mo Nanze turned his head to glance at Lu Yinfeng, a look of slight approval in his eyes.
"There's one more thing." Lu Yinfeng, encouraged by Mo Nanze's gaze, suddenly found courage, and her voice grew more resolute, "I will not easily sell off this mansion. Since Grandpa left it to me, I will protect it well!"
At this moment, Lu Yinfeng seemed to understand Old Master Mo's intentions a bit better.
Perhaps he knew that if the mansion fell into the hands of Mo Family descendants, it would quickly become liquid assets, whereas Lu Yinfeng did not need much money, and also adored this old house.
He had indeed considered everything thoroughly.
"Lu Yinfeng, don't refuse the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" Mo Qianyan suddenly stood up, cursing in anger, "My dad has already personally spoken to you, yet you're still putting on this obstinate act…"
Mo Nanze's brows furrowed as his eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
Standing up, he towered half a head taller than Mo Qianyan, looking down at him with disdain.
"Mo Qianyan, watch your mouth. How do you speak to your aunt?"
Hearing this remark, Lu Yinfeng couldn't help but feel like laughing.
The effect of her whirlwind marriage to Mo Nanze had finally paid off—she had moved up several generations in status!
Mo Qianyan was stunned momentarily, choked with no idea how to retort, and Lu Yinfeng found his flustered and panicky expression immensely satisfying.
Mo Nanze turned his head back, raising an eyebrow as if to show off his triumph to Lu Yinfeng.
Lu Yinfeng, holding back laughter and pinching her thigh, managed to suppress her bubbling mirth.
"You... you..." Mo Qianyan was furious, and it took him a while to think of words to counter Mo Nanze and Lu Yinfeng.
"What's so great about you, Mo Nanze? You're just picking up the woman I discarded!" Mo Qianyan jeered, "Do you know, in my eyes, she was nothing but a promiscuous woman, always unsatisfied. At your age, can you even satisfy her?"
