The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 4

Zhang Yan jumped in to flatter them, "Aww, you two have such a great relationship."

Mo Xiaoyun lifted her chin proudly and looked toward Mo Keyu like she was showing off.

But Mo Keyu had this weird, even creepy smile on her face.

It gave Mo Xiaoyun a really bad feeling.

"Rong—Rongrong, let's go take a walk nearby, go meet some of your friends,"

she said, dragging Xu Rong away, clearly in a hurry to put some distance between them and Mo Keyu.

Mo Keyu had been acting weird ever since this morning. Something about her kept making Mo Xiaoyun's heart race in a bad way.

Xu Rong glanced at Mo Keyu, then at Mo Xiaoyun, and finally agreed, "Alright."

[Smart move. Looks like this Mo Xiaoyun isn't dumb enough to show her true colors just yet. She's got some game.]

A sarcastic voice echoed in their heads.

Mo Xiaoyun suddenly tightened her grip on Xu Rong's hand, and Xu Rong slightly tilted his head, thinking Mo Keyu had just insulted her. But when he looked over, Mo Keyu had somehow gotten herself a piece of cake and was happily munching away.

He figured he was just hearing things and didn't think much of it, continuing to follow Mo Xiaoyun.

After waking up in the afternoon, Mo Keyu had gone out shopping for clothes and trying on makeup, and wandered the streets for a bit. She hadn't eaten all day, and her stomach had been growling like crazy.

In the hall, there were layers of delicate cakes and fruit, along with all kinds of drinks. She was practically drooling. The staff nearby were super friendly, their service so top-tier it felt like they were treating her like royalty.

[Eat and sleep, sleep and eat—that's basically my life goal. What's the point of working hard? Once that old man Mo kicks the bucket, all the inheritance is mine. Then I can do whatever I want with all that cash.]

[Hello, Host. Just so you know, in the original ending of the heiress, after Master Mo dies, your stepmother Zhang Xiufeng and stepsister Mo Xiaoyun take all the Mo family assets and kick you out with nothing.]

Mo Keyu froze for a second, then her expression turned cold.

[I'm gonna kill them.]

[Calm down, Host. Don't do anything that violates the world's rules.]

[Fine, I'm calm,] Mo Keyu held back her rage and said to the system coolly, [Then I'll make sure they wish they were dead.]

[...]

Right then, a middle-aged man came over and interrupted her conversation with the system.

"You like drinking?" His voice was low and a bit rough, and he asked her straight up.

Mo Keyu looked up, kind of annoyed. The guy was a bit older, sure, but he had a seriously good-looking face. That age actually added a bit of charm—on top of the mature, steady vibe, he also carried a commanding presence.

"Fruit wine, not that strong, tastes pretty good." Mo Keyu casually took another sip.

Everyone here was either rich or powerful, so this guy was probably someone important too. She figured it wouldn't hurt to get to know one more person.

Mo Keyu held a wine glass in her left hand and a mini cake in her right, eating in a pretty wild and carefree way.

The man didn't say anything, just stared at the way she ate with a deep frown on his face.

Since he didn't speak, Mo Keyu grabbed another pastry and kept chatting with the system:

[Since you said I only get kicked out after Old Man Mo dies, when exactly does he die?]

[Around a year from now.]

[Oh, cool, that's not too bad.]

The middle-aged man standing nearby instantly went stiff, glaring at Mo Keyu.

But Mo Keyu was too focused on eating to notice. He found it kind of strange. He could've sworn he just heard...

Maybe he was just hearing things from rushing over and not getting enough rest.

The man rubbed his temples, trying to clear his head.

"Uncle, I think we kinda look alike," Mo Keyu suddenly turned and said to him, figuring he looked a little pitiful standing there alone.

"Do you even hear yourself right now, Mo Keyu?" The man's tone was ice cold.

[Mo Zhengtian. Mo family's eldest daughter's father. Spends most of his time away from home. Was misled by Zhang Xiufeng and Mo Xiaoyun into neglecting his eldest daughter.]

[You lagged on giving me this profile? Why now?!]

[Forgot.]

Mo Keyu didn't have time to complain—she instantly switched into performance mode, face changing on the spot, "Huh? Dad? I'm sorry, Dad, I drank too much just now, I was just joking around with you."

Mo Zhengtian looked at her and suddenly sighed.

He didn't say much. After all, based on what his second daughter and Xiufeng had told him, Mo Keyu was never very bright. But now... it seemed like it had gotten worse.

Just then, he felt a tug on his sleeve. Mo Keyu, who really did look a bit like him, was blinking those big shiny eyes at him.

"Dad, I really missed you."

Mo Zhengtian froze right there.

Most of the time, Mo Keyu looked at him with fear, sometimes even avoided him, barely daring to speak. This was the first time his eldest daughter had ever talked to him first—and even said... she really missed him?

No matter how strained the relationship was, facing his own daughter, Mo Zhengtian still felt a bit of tenderness.

But just as he was starting to get caught up in the sweetness, a sharp voice echoed in his ears:

[Ahahahahahaha, I nailed that, huh? Looks like the old man's about to start liking me again.]

[Still, what a crap dad. His own daughter's been bullied for years and he didn't notice a thing.]

[Always busy with work, doesn't even believe his own daughter. Tsk, tsk.]

[Wonder how he'll feel when he finds out he's been cheated on—ahahahahaha.]

...

Mo Zhengtian shut his eyes in frustration. The voices only got louder and more piercing. He had to open them again—and found himself staring into Mo Keyu's big, watery eyes.

"Alright, I got it," Mo Zhengtian said perfunctorily.

The voice in his ear finally quieted down for a bit.

After wandering around nearby for a while, Mo Xiaoyun and Xu Rong came back.

The whole time, she was the one pulling Xu Rong along and trying to keep the conversation going, but Xu Rong clearly wasn't into it and just gave half-hearted responses.

The moment Mo Xiaoyun saw Mo Zhengtian, she ran over and whined, "Daddy～"

The way she said it gave Mo Keyu full-body goosebumps.

When Mo Zhengtian saw the Xu family's eldest son, Xu Rong, standing nearby, he actually gave a rare smile. "Xiaoyun, just came back from hanging out with Xiao Rong?"
