The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 8

"Aiya, don't take it to heart, little sis. Dad's coming soon—he told me to take good care of you," Mo Keyu said. She had no idea why those heiresses were suddenly fleeing, but it didn't stop her from keeping up the act.

"Cut it out, Mo Keyu, you fox!"

"Pfft, I'm nothing compared to you."

[Oh please, this outsider thinks she can come for me, the legit eldest daughter?]

[If you wanna play the outsider, fine. Keep your head down. But ganging up on the real one for ten years straight?]

[And now you're even trying to steal my inheritance? Drop dead.]

Mo Keyu showed a creepy smile, staring at Mo Xiaoyun like a hunter eyeing its prey. The word "dead" echoed and grew louder in Mo Xiaoyun's ears.

All her previous arrogance vanished—she was scared. If that voice was telling the truth, then everything she had...

"You... just wait and see." She gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

The only person she could go to now was her mom, Zhang Xiufeng. She needed to find out if this was really happening.

[Hahahahahaha, wait it is.]

[Zhang Xiufeng's probably still rolling around with her boy toy somewhere.]

[Wait a minute—guess that makes Old Mo's cuckold hat extra tight.]

[Serves him right. Always away from home, doesn't believe his own daughter, lets her get bullied.]

[Can't even spot a green flag when it's waving in his face.]

......

Mo Keyu watched Mo Xiaoyun run off into the distance, starting to feel kind of bored.

It was already late when she rode back home in the driver's car. After stuffing herself at the banquet, Mo Keyu lay on her bed playing on her tablet. Zhang Xiufeng and the others hadn't come home yet.

"By the way, why didn't Old Mo come back either?" Mo Keyu asked.

[He's still arguing with the Xu family.]

"Oh~ Well, makes sense. This kind of thing is a slap in the Mo family's face. So, who's winning?"

[They couldn't settle it by yelling at each other in the hotel, so Mo Zhengtian and Xu Hao ended up throwing punches. Mo Zhengtian had the upper hand—and even gave Xu Rong a nice punch. The three of them got into a full-on brawl.]

"Didn't expect Old Mo to be that badass. Man's got one foot in the grave and still managed to take on two guys. Kinda fierce, honestly."

Mo Keyu played her game while listening to the system's updates. She didn't knock out until she was completely exhausted.

Late at night, everything was quiet. The sound of the wind rustled outside the window.

[Ding. System is running a check...]

[Bug detected. Attempting repair... Bug involves host's original body... Repair unsuccessful.]

The next morning, Mo Keyu was woken up by noise again.

The housekeeper was knocking nonstop at her door, saying Chairman Mo, Mo Zhengtian, had come back and was asking her to come down for breakfast.

Mo Keyu had no choice but to crawl out of bed. She didn't even brush her hair before heading downstairs.

Mo Zhengtian was sitting at the dining table. The atmosphere in the living room was suffocating.

There were scratch marks on his face, and a bruise around his right eye—looked like he'd been through a tough fight last night.

"It's already this late and you're still not up. How long were you planning to sleep?" Mo Zhengtian said. Just from his tone, it was obvious he was in a bad mood.

Before Mo Keyu could respond, Mo Xiaoyun jumped in, "Dad, Sister got up this late—I'm guessing she was up to something last night."

Her words were laced with implication, quietly accusing Mo Keyu of messing around outside. But Mo Keyu wasn't about to let that slide.

"You were the one who ditched me at the party to go looking for Zhang Xiufeng. I had the driver take me straight home, and I stayed in my room playing on my phone the whole time. The driver and the housekeeper can both vouch for that. You're the one who never came back."

"Then why did you wake up so late?"

"Some people just sleep longer. So what? Does waking up late automatically mean someone was 'up to something' last night?"

"That's enough," Mo Zhengtian growled. Both of them shut up instantly. He was already in a bad mood, and now he had to listen to his family bickering—just made everything worse.

Zhang Xiufeng, sitting off to the side, didn't dare say a word. Since that morning, she had felt something was off with Mo Zhengtian.

"Eat your breakfast," he said.

He thought that might give him a moment of peace, but then he heard a voice in his head again:

[Breaking off ties with the Xu family yesterday definitely messed with his mood.]

[But if he finds out Zhang Xiufeng was fooling around with some random guy last night, he probably won't even be able to stomach breakfast.]

[This house has too many green hats lying around—no wonder he's never home.]

Mo Zhengtian had only taken a bite of his fried egg before losing his appetite.

That same voice from last night kept popping up in his head. He wanted to shut it out, but the stuff it said was too much to ignore. He couldn't help but stare at Zhang Xiufeng.

Zhang Xiufeng had heard it too, and her face turned ghostly pale.

At first, she thought the voice was just guilt talking. But when she saw the look in Mo Zhengtian's eyes—sharp and suspicious—she knew something was seriously wrong.

She had only climbed her way up to become a rich lady by latching onto Mo Zhengtian, so she was pretty familiar with his temper. It's just that he was rarely home, and over the years, she had definitely had her moments of feeling lonely.

Mo Keyu quietly started eating by herself. The temperature in the room seemed to drop. Something definitely felt off. When she looked up, she saw Zhang Xiufeng's pale, drained face.

[What's up with her? Is she anemic or something? She looks scary pale.]

[Damn, don't tell me she's sick or something? But wasn't she just going wild with some hunk last night?]

[Wait... wait, don't tell me Old Man Mo can't satisfy her anymore?]

At that thought, Mo Keyu actually started to feel a little bad for Mo Zhengtian. He really was getting up there in age. Sure, he still looked tough on the outside, but who knew what the situation was behind closed doors...

Mo Xiaoyun, sitting next to her, had lost all that arrogant energy from before.

Last night, she had gone out to talk to Zhang Xiufeng about Xu Rong, but her mother wasn't home. She'd called several times, no answer. Texted her, no reply. In the end, she had to come crawling back to the Mo house in embarrassment.
