Chapter 1016: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [18] Chapter 1016: Mo Family Princess’s Marriage [18] “If I remember correctly, your grades have never passed before, and yet this time, somehow you’ve managed to pass them all.” Mo Yaoxiong spoke with a tone of skepticism, “Or was it that the test was just very easy this time?”

Mo Weiyi was utterly speechless, “Dad, I’m your daughter, do you really trust me so little?”

Mo Yaoxiong: “It’s precisely because you’re my daughter that I find it hard to believe you could have improved so much in just one month.”

Mo Weiyi: “…”

In fact, it wasn’t strange that Mo Yaoxiong harbored doubts, given that Mo Weiyi was the only daughter of the Mo Family. Ever since her birth, the old man Mo treated her like a princess, indulging her with the philosophy that as long as she grew up healthy and happy, that was enough, which inevitably fostered her spoiled nature.

She couldn’t bear hardship, nor did she want to. She had struggled to stick with piano when she was younger, let alone the tedium of studying?

Although, over the past month, Mo Weiyi truly had been studying with a tutor every night and there hadn’t been any news of her being late or leaving early, Mo Yaoxiong didn’t believe for a second that she would turn over a new leaf and study dutifully…

“I took the tests myself!” Mo Weiyi exclaimed aggravatingly, “The tutor has been helping me every night. Isn’t it very simple to just pass?”

It’s not that she disliked studying, but for Xiaobai, she would try harder!

It turned out that studying wasn’t so difficult after all…

Mo Yaoxiong narrowed his eyes: “Really?”

“Really!” Mo Weiyi nodded vigorously, “I already told you I would get into Nancheng University, so that Xiaobai can marry me!”

Mo Yaoxiong: “…”

He looked at his daughter, his expression thoughtful.

“Dad.” Mo Weiyi asked him, “Was your recent business trip with Xiaobai to Haicheng successful?”

“Yeah.” Mo Yaoxiong replied noncommittally.

Mo Weiyi was elated, “Xiaobai is so smart, he must have performed well at the company lately, right?”

Mo Yaoxiong continued, “Not bad.”

Mo Weiyi let out a shy laugh, “If Xiaobai does well at the company, grandfather should start to change his mind about him. That way, after I marry Xiaobai, grandfather will feel at ease entrusting the company to him.”

Mo Yaoxiong’s brows twitched, “What did grandfather say to you?”

“What could he say? You know as well as I do, Grandpa has always disliked Xiaobai, he’s always so harsh when he speaks. He doesn’t understand Xiaobai at all, it’s purely prejudice! I think Xiaobai is much better than Chu Shao. I really don’t get why grandfather trusts Chu Shao so much. Isn’t handing over the company to Xiaobai much more reliable than handing it over to an outsider?” Mo Weiyi argued convincingly.

Seeing that Mo Yaoxiong remained silent…

“Dad.” Mo Weiyi asked tentatively, “Do you think I’m making sense?”

Instead, Mo Yaoxiong asked her, “Do you really have no intention of marrying anyone but Yebai?”

“Of course.” Mo Weiyi nodded quickly, “I’ve liked Xiaobai since I was 10 years old, and I’m definitely going to marry him, so you’re not allowed to arrange any more marriages for me with Grandpa. Besides Xiaobai, I don’t want anyone else!”

Mo Yaoxiong seemed contemplative, “But Yebai’s feelings for you…”

“He’s just jealous!” Mo Weiyi snorted, “It’s all because of that Chu Shao! He saw me once and came proposing, but I think his head’s not right! Today he’s smitten with me, next time he might change his affections for another woman! His private life reputation is so bad, only you and Grandpa think he’s a good man! You’ve both been fooled by him!”

Her words rendered Mo Yaoxiong utterly silent.

Mo Weiyi wanted to press her advantage, “Dad, you think so highly of Xiaobai, wouldn’t it be good for him to be your son-in-law? That way, he’d be a rightful member of the Mo Family.”

She thought herself very clever!

And evidently, Mo Yaoxiong was somewhat swayed, “If Yebai doesn’t feel the same way about you romantically, and it’s just your own wishful thinking…”

“Dad, have you forgotten? Xiaobai said that as long as I get into Nancheng University, he would consider marrying me.” Mo Weiyi smiled broadly, “He promised me personally, do you think he would go back on his word?”

Mo Yaoxiong countered, “Do you think you can get into Nancheng University?”

“Of course I can!” Mo Weiyi was full of confidence, “This time on the monthly exams, I already moved up more than ten spots. Another ten spots next time, and with seven months until the college entrance examination, I’ll definitely improve enough to be in the top three of my class, ensuring my admission to Nancheng University!”

Mo Yaoxiong: “…”

In the evening, the tutor arrived at the Mo Family residence on time.

In the living room on the first floor, Mo Yaoxiong sat there, “Teacher Liu, how has Weiyi been doing recently?”

Teacher Liu: “Weiyi has been very attentive during the lessons, but her foundation is poor, so progress has to be slow. Fortunately, she’s quite perceptive, and she has improved quickly. I believe her grades on this monthly exam should show a lot of progress.”

Mo Yaoxiong nodded, “Her grades were indeed good this time, but it’s far from enough.”

Teacher Liu understood immediately, “Rest assured, Mr. Mo, I will do my utmost to help her improve.”

“Good.” Mo Yaoxiong signaled, “Aunt Zhou, please take Teacher Liu upstairs.”

“Yes, sir.”

…

After Teacher Liu followed the servant upstairs, Mo Yaoxiong turned his face toward the closed door at the top of the stairs.

A few seconds later, he stood up and went over to knock on the door.
