The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 13

Some had already started piecing the whole drama together in their heads:

Twenty years ago, Zhang Xiufeng had forced Mo Zhengtian into a marriage by claiming she was pregnant. Now, over two decades later, it turned out the kid might not even be his. And all this time, she brought that child into the Mo household, using her position to bully the real heiress. On top of that, she spent years cheating on him and handed him more than twenty green hats.

And now? The whole house finally knew the truth.

How tragic. A freaking billionaire, no less.

[System, system, tell me what Mo Xiaoyun's dad's name is. Even if you don't know him, I still wanna know.]

Mo Zhengtian's ears perked up instantly. Even Mo Xiaoyun stopped in her tracks.

[Oh~ also a businessman.]

[What, he was married? Damn, cheating while married? That's low.]

[What? He even worked with Old Mo before?]

Mo Zhengtian even froze mid-move. More than anyone else, he wanted to know who brought him such utter disgrace!

[Last name Wang...]

[Wang Wang*? What kind of name is that... sounds like he's trying to bark like a dog.]

(*王汪: 王 is a common Chinese surname, pronounced Wáng. 汪 is the onomatopoeia for a dog's bark in Chinese, like "woof" in English, also pronounced Wāng.)

Mo Zhengtian turned his head toward Mo Xiaoyun. Yeah, from the beginning, he'd thought she looked like someone. And the older she got, the more she looked like him—like she was carved from the same mold.

Thinking of that, his molars were about to crack from clenching so hard.

He'd actually raised someone else's kid for twenty-two years!

"You go find your—" Mo Zhengtian started to say something but suddenly changed what he was going to say. "Yeah, it's true, you really don't look anything like me. And with how shady your mom is, I really can't not suspect it anymore."

His voice was icy cold, making Mo Xiaoyun cry even harder.

Off to the side, Mo Keyu was watching the drama with great interest. She gossiped with the system about what happened back then—how that Wang Wang guy had been married but went off cheating with Zhang Xiufeng. Later, Zhang Xiufeng used his connections to climb her way to Mo Zhengtian, found out his wife had died and he was a rich single dad with only one daughter, so she schemed her way into his life.

Mo Zhengtian forced himself to listen patiently despite how grossed out he felt. His disgust toward Zhang Xiufeng had hit rock bottom, and his dislike for Mo Xiaoyun was now at the same level.

He really just felt bad for his older daughter. Maybe all those years of bottled-up pain had built up so much, it made her inner voice loud enough for him, as her father, to hear it.

"Dad, I'm your daughter..." Mo Xiaoyun's voice was shaking—she was starting to doubt who she was herself.

Still, she didn't want to give up. Staying in the Mo family was her only chance:

"I must be your daughter. Even if I'm not, we've been together for over twenty years. Don't you feel anything for me? Is blood really that important? Dad, come on, I'll always be your child."

Back when Mo Keyu was little, Mo Zhengtian had raised her himself. Later, for all kinds of reasons, they grew distant. Mo Xiaoyun had grown up with Zhang Xiufeng. Even though he hadn't paid much attention to her, he did watch her grow up.

After that emotional plea, Mo Zhengtian softened a little.

But just when he started to hesitate, he suddenly heard loud laughter in his ear:

[Ahahahahaha, "is blood really that important?" Mo Xiaoyun is hilarious.]

[If you were just some adopted kid, sure, I'd treat you like my own. But you're Old Wang's kid!]

[And not just any Old Wang—one that had business dealings with Old Mo! Keeping you around is like announcing to the world: "Hey, I, Mo Zhengtian, wear the biggest green hat ever~"]

["And Old Wang's kid not only lives under my roof, eats my food, but also bullies my biological daughter? That's like someone taking a dump right on my head!!!"]

Mo Zhengtian's face instantly turned dark, like he was ready to kill someone. Even the nearby maids could feel the wave of murderous intent.

"But, Dad, I've been holding it in for over ten years..." Mo Keyu suddenly spoke up, giving him a pitiful look.

Mo Zhengtian looked down at Mo Xiaoyun from above. She collapsed to the floor. This was the first time she saw her father looking at her like that—with pure disgust.

"You..." Mo Zhengtian turned away coldly and said to his assistant, "Take her for a DNA test."

After that, Mo Xiaoyun was dragged out just like Zhang Xiufeng.

Mo Zhengtian was just about to head to the hospital too, but Mo Keyu stopped him.

"Dad," she said, giving a rare smile, "thank you."

This time, after she spoke, there were no sarcastic system comments—just silence.

Since his daughter had grown up, this was the first time Mo Zhengtian saw such a pure smile on her face. It made him feel even more guilty.

"Keyu, it's Dad who neglected you. From now on, no one will ever bully you again," he said, his tone softening.

Mo Keyu paused, then gave a soft "mm."

That thank-you had been genuine. Maybe she'd had some opinions about Mo Zhengtian at first, but later realized that even if he'd been a neglectful dad, he wasn't completely hopeless.

Mo Zhengtian left the room, but Mo Keyu didn't follow. She felt like she'd done something big today and ran straight back to her room to lie down on her bed.

"System, now that those two have been kicked out, will Old Mo still die in a year?"

[No.]

"So he was killed by those two?"

[Yes.]

"Then I've done the Mo family a huge favor," Mo Keyu said proudly. "But things went way too smoothly. I just gave Mo Zhengtian a tiny nudge and he managed to dig up all that."

[......]

Mo Keyu had just been wondering about that when she suddenly changed tone, "No wonder he's a billionaire. That man's sharp as hell. Saved me a lot of work."

"But the way he treated me after learning what I'd been through... I guess today went so smoothly because he's not as cold-hearted as I thought."

[Host, you've changed your mind.]

"Well, he is my dad now. And a rich one at that. Am I the only heir now?"

[Yes.]

Mo Keyu was very pleased. As long as she inherited the fortune, she'd never have to worry about food or money again. She could just chill and live her best lazy life.

After that, Mo Keyu played on her phone for a bit, then fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, she woke up naturally—no one knocked on her door.
