After several days and nights of confrontation, in the end, Jiang Han would rather die than submit, committing suicide with hatred. Mo Wei was also tortured until he was unrecognizable and died without a complete corpse.

  Only the six-year-old Mo Chi was as tough as a bitter flower in a crevice of a cliff, preserving his life.

  Far away in Xuanchuan City, when Old Mr. Mo heard the news, he went crazy and fetched his youngest grandson back. To ensure the child’s safety, he found the most professional hospital and gave Mo Chi a thorough checkup from head to toe.

  Unexpectedly, the child’s survival was not a coincidence. It was because his genes were different, causing his heart and brain to be abnormally tenacious. Moreover, the doctor had clearly stated that the change in Mo Chi’s genes was not innate, but artificial. He reminded the old master to pay attention to the child’s daily actions. Once there was a genetic backlash, he would immediately send for treatment.

  The eldest son that he was so proud of for half of his life died without a burial site. His only son even had his genes modified by someone, making him different from ordinary people. Old Mr. Mo’s heart ached and he was in despair. He pinned all the blame on Jiang Han. No one in the Mo Family dared to mention the name Jiang Han, as if she had never existed.

  Little Mo Chi, who gradually grew up, asked about his mother repeatedly but did not get a reply. From time to time, rumors would spread around him.

  “He’s the illegitimate son of the eldest young master and the woman outside, right?”


  “Definitely. Otherwise, why don’t he even know who his mother is?”


  The heart of a young teenager was sliced open time and time again, and the shadow of his childhood was bound to accompany him for life. Therefore, Mo Chi hated the word illegitimate child the most in his life. This was also the main reason why he must have married Qin Ran back then.

  “Old Master, are you worried that the Second Young Master will repeat the same mistakes and end up like his father?” Butler Zhang quietly asked after hearing Old Mr. Mo’s narration.

  “That’s right. Mo Chi follows his father. He’s stubborn. Once he’s decided on someone, he won’t let go easily.”


  “Second Young Master has a cold expression but a warm heart. He’s even more concerned about Young Madam.”


  “So, I still need to continue investigating this girl. Before the results are out, you’ll still be the same as before, take good care of Ranran.”


  Butler Zhang nodded repeatedly and promised not to let him down.

  At ten o’clock in the evening, at the Mo Residence.

  Qin Ran, who hadn’t eaten much for dinner, lay on the sofa in the master bedroom. From time to time, she would use the toothpick in her right hand to eat honeydew, but her eyes were always on her phone.

  It had already been two weeks, but there were still people commenting everyday on the hot topic of the college entrance examination’s top scholar, Qin Ran, cheating.

  “The comprehensive test papers are so difficult. How can a girl like her get full marks? She must have cheated.”


  “She hasn’t even entered the top three of the school for her exams. Even if she does exceptionally well in the college entrance examination, she shouldn’t be number one in the province, right?”


  Various guesses and various ill-intentioned speculations converged into comments and were thrown at Qin Ran like dirty water.

  Meanwhile, the person in question, Qin Ran, was reading the comments while eating melons. She could actually laugh out loud. It seemed like she didn’t know who this Qin Ran was at all.

  “They’re gossiping about you, yet you’re still so calm?” Mo Chi had unknowingly stood behind the sofa, and his gaze coincidentally landed on Qin Ran’s phone interface.

  Qin Ran was shocked by the sudden voice coming from behind her. “I didn’t expect this comments section to be so funny.”


  “They’re talking about you!” Mo Chi had occasionally flipped through those comments. Every single one of them could make him vomit blood from anger. He was originally worried that Qin Ran would be sad when she saw these things. It turned out that he was thinking too much.

  “They can say whatever they want. Their days are boring, so they’re using me as a diversion. It doesn’t hurt or itch anyway. Whatever.”


  However, Mo Chi felt that the lass was still young and didn’t know how scary it was when the rumor became true after it was being repeated. Only he could reverse the public opinion on this matter.

  “For the sake of Grandpa’s health, we won’t get a divorce for the time being. I’ll also move all my things back and stay here with peace of mind. However,” When Qin Ran said this, she specially sat up straight from the sofa and turned to look at Mo Chi with a serious expression. “However, you’re not allowed to buy me gifts anymore. No gifts are allowed!”


  She didn’t want to owe Mo Chi anything anymore. Besides, this matter was much more important to her than being rumored to have cheated in the college entrance examination.

  This was the first time Mo Chi had seen someone so seriously inform him not to spend money on her. The lass’s almond-shaped eyes were fixed on him, so Mo Chi could only nod his head in agreement.
