Marriage Rights: Billionaire's Forgotten Wife

"Zuri, I would like you to not show any improper action or speak of any nonsense in front of the youngsters. It is really annoying." He said with indifference, threat laced on his tone. 

With Marco's warning, Zuri pursed her lips and just like her son, she endured silently and promised to get even later on. 

For her, those who were too young and did not have any qualifications to be part of the family should not be given anything! Not even mercy! 

"Mo Lihua, you left the family years ago. From that time a lot of things have changed. I just hope that we can talk in a civilized manner, just like how educated people do. That should be easy for you," Marco continued sternly. 

Mo Lihua almost scowled at Marco's fakeness. She could sense it even though the man was good at hiding it. By just hearing the words civilized and educated coming out from his mouth already leaves a bad taste in her mouth, and it was really pissing her off," You saying that looks more suspicious to me." 

With a chuckle, "Don't be like that. It's not that hard to accept that we want to talk professionally. A lot has changed since the time you left. The life we now have is more carefree compared before. If not, would we be patient enough to talk to you like this? You continuing to insult an elder looks like you are making us lose our composure. What is your goal, child? Do you want to make us your enemy?" Marco asked, casually. 

Mo Lihua tilted her head, curiously, "I do not think like that. It is not my fault that some people do not know when to shut up." Regardless of what Marco say, she will not be persuaded. They are all acting right now in her favor since they needed something. 

"I see. So it was just me overthinking it?" Marco smiled. "I apologize to think worse of you. Let's start over, by you and Piore sitting back to your chairs like everything is alright. I already asked you more than twice. Do not make things hard for you when we are this cooperative." He said. 

With that, Mo Lihua nodded with agreement, after sighing heavily. She then sat down again, and by this time, no one cared anymore if Piore was seated with them. No one wants to offend her or Marco would definitely punish them in the event the meeting did not end in their favor. 

"Now, let's talk about business. Shall we?" Marco asked, seriously. He then leaned forward with his hands together formally on top of the table.

"You know, what Zuri said was not entirely wrong. Let's say you miraculously won the Selection and ready for the takeover. Are you confident that you can manage the family well? Because I doubt it." 

'Am I confident? No! I am terrified! I don't even want this!' Mo Lihua screamed inside her head, with a still bored expression on her face. 

If there is any other option, she would not be here enduring their presence. Her body was still exhausted and sore. 

Mo Lihua just prefers to still stay on the bed and rest. Her father was still missing. Yu Han was still in the hospital in a coma. Fei Jie was still in the hospital, and they did not even know if she could again recover her eyesight.

For her husband, she did not want to see him nor has the energy to face him properly. That was because, Mo Lihua knew that whatever he does, she would allow and forgive him eventually. 

Her guilt and love would make her feel things that are not controllable, and it hurts more to just be silent about it. 

'If things were just on better circ.u.mstances…' Mo Lihua sadly wished. 

So does she care about anything that Marco was spouting? No. Sadly, Mo Lihua can only pretend that she cares and listens to it. 

Marco continued, "With your current knowledge of the family affairs as well as your status, I guarantee that the support you will get to maintain order is close to zero." He explained seriously as he held her gaze. 

"Fifth uncle, you would not know if I won't even try." Mo Lihua replied matter-of-factly. 

Marco nodded, "That is true. Yet based on experience, no one wants to waste their time listening or following the command of a stranger who happens to be a rookie. Would you if people's lives are at stake?"
