The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 16

Mo Keyu kept her polite smile, but didn't give an inch.

Whispers started spreading among the other employees. The team leader felt humiliated and snapped, "Zhao Keyu, what kind of background do you come from to act like this?"

"Huh? What does my background have to do with you?" Mo Keyu was confused. She had only made up that pancake shop story yesterday, and today everyone already knew? These people were way too easy to fool.

Secrets really didn't last long in this office. No wonder there were so many people whispering around this morning.

"And anyway, I've finished my own work. If you really want me to do something extra, at least don't use that bossy tone. Whether I do it or not depends on my mood."

The other person was fuming, but they really couldn't do anything about her. Zhao Keyu's vibe and attitude didn't match someone from a poor background at all.

Better safe than sorry—who knew, maybe she did have a rich relative in the company. After that pushback, they didn't dare mess with her anymore and turned to order around someone easier to bully.

As soon as work ended, Mo Keyu got in her driver's car and went to try on gowns.

After changing clothes and doing her makeup, Mo Zhengtian was already sitting in the car waiting for her.

Mo Keyu climbed into the black luxury car and sat next to him.

"Keyu, how's work going lately?" Mo Zhengtian asked.

"It's alright."

"I'll move you to upper management in a few days to learn from your Uncle Lin."

"Okay." Mo Keyu nodded obediently.

This time, the dinner party was set on a luxury yacht. In the main hall, long tables were neatly arranged, covered in elegant tableware, and filled with all kinds of gourmet food.

In one corner of the banquet, a band was playing classical music, adding an extra touch of elegance.

The male guests were dressed in sharp suits, and the female guests wore glamorous gowns.

Mo Keyu only realized after arriving that she didn't know a single person here...

Even though she was technically a young lady from a prominent family, she had no social circle of her own—she'd always been Mo Xiaoyun's sidekick.

Mo Zhengtian led her around to meet quite a few business partners. Suddenly, one older executive asked, "Hey, your younger daughter didn't come?"

The moment he asked that, Mo Zhengtian's expression changed. The lady next to him quickly gave him a look.

But the old executive didn't really keep up with other people's family gossip and didn't catch on right away.

"I only have one daughter—Mo Keyu," Mo Zhengtian said.

"Wasn't there another... oh, maybe I remembered wrong. Still, your daughter really is stunning. Honestly, none of the celebrities here can even compare," the old executive said. His wife next to him quickly smiled to smooth things over.

Even though most people exaggerated and flattered when making small talk, that part wasn't a lie—Mo Keyu's looks didn't lose out at all, even standing next to the stars in the room.

Mo Zhengtian took Mo Keyu around a few more laps. Quite a few people actively asked for her contact info—after all, she was the future head of the Mo family. Add in her looks, and despite all the recent gossip surrounding the Mo family, plenty of people still wanted to curry favor.

"Keyu, you have to understand, you've got to be strong. You must hold tight to the family's assets and never let anyone fool you," Mo Zhengtian said earnestly. "Back when I supported Mo Xiaoyun's marriage to the Xu family, it was partly because she wasn't cut out to manage the company, and partly because I thought if she could marry into a family of equal status, it'd be a good outcome for her."

"But Dad, I think the only person you can really rely on is yourself," Mo Keyu said.

"That's right. After what happened with the Xu family, I've completely woken up too. Only by becoming strong yourself can you attract other strong people. Don't slack off, and don't expect to lean on others for everything. The only one you can truly count on is yourself.," Mo Zhengtian said. It was exactly because his daughter was now so tough that he felt so at ease.

Honestly, even if she was his biological daughter, if she'd been timid and weak, he still wouldn't have been willing to hand over the entire fortune—because she wouldn't have been able to hold onto it.

"Dad, I think there are still some people in the world I can rely on," Mo Keyu suddenly said.

That made Mo Zhengtian tense up. "Oh?"

"You, of course." she said.

Mo Zhengtian was silent for a second, then, after understanding, showed a rare smile.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'm not gonna be like that dumbass Mo Xiaoyun... ahem, I mean, that brainless... the kind of person who gets tricked away for some pocket change," Mo Keyu said.

[Ladylike, ladylike. I'm a lady. There are so many people around. I really need to watch what I say.]

[Dad seriously underestimates me. Money is my lifeblood.]

[But man, in circles like this, most of these people are huge flirts. Just walking around, you can spot tons of guys and girls with secret affairs.]

[Eh, was that married guy over there fooling around just now? I'll go check it out later when I have time.]

Mo Zhengtian: ...

He was already used to that voice. No matter what it said, he wasn't even surprised anymore.

Halfway through the banquet, Mo Zhengtian ran into an old friend he hadn't seen in years. He told Mo Keyu he wanted to catch up with him for a bit and told her to go mingle on her own.

Mo Keyu agreed on the surface, but actually went straight to the dessert table and started going wild on the sweets.

There were mini cakes, candies, pastries, chocolates, and all kinds of drinks. For Mo Keyu, the most important part of attending a banquet was eating! Free food!

"Beautiful lady, eating that much—be careful you don't get fat." A gentle male voice floated over from behind.

Mo Keyu paused for a second, a little annoyed.

[Why are there people who can't even leave others alone while they're eating ahhhhh.]

[Women eat a lot and suddenly we're supposed to worry about getting fat? I love eating, okay!]

Mo Keyu stuffed the last cake into her mouth, turned around, and saw a super handsome guy.

And that handsome guy looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Did this pretty girl just snap back at him? But judging by her expression, she didn't seem like it.

Mo Keyu chewed a few times, quickly swallowed the food, looked at the man in front of her, and made a polite young lady's gesture, greeting him kindly:

"Hello."
