Powerful families had their own law of survival.
Jiang Hongying was born in the Jiang family. Although it was not considered a top influential family, it was still considered one of the powerful families and had interacted with the high society as well.
After marrying into the Mo family for so many years, her status elevated greatly, yet she still did not understand such logic.
Look at those true mistresses of the wealthy families. Which of them were like Jiang Hongying, who screamed and shamelessly said that she would not acknowledge them?
Ha!
Was there any use even if she did not acknowledge them?
This situation in the Mo family had happened in many other families before. Leaving aside having a wife and children in the countryside before marriage, many even had illegitimate children. What immoral deeds could those playboys not do?
However, among those wealthy families, unless they were too inferior to appear in public, the true mistress of a wealthy family would definitely not yap about nonsense like Jiang Hongying.
No matter how resentful they were, they were aware that they could not make any decision. As long as the child carried their husband's blood, and that the Old Master and Old Lady of the family acknowledged them, they simply would not be able to prevent those children from acknowledging one's roots and ancestors.
Many were very generous on the surface, but how fiercely they fought in secret was unknown.
Although Old Master Mo despised those cruel people who used unscrupulous means to harm their family just to gain a little family benefit, he could understand their rejection of these illegitimate children.
If Jiang Hongying and Mo Yunhao simply did not like Mo Beihan or even detested him, Old Master Mo could understand. After all, who could accept that their husband had hidden such a huge matter from them?
However, Jiang Hongying called them b.a.s.t.a.r.d children right in their faces while her eyes were dripping with evil when she looked at Mo Beihan and even the kids. This was no longer just cruel. She was unbridling cruel.
Such a woman must not be tolerated!
Looking at Mo Yunhao, Old Master Mo said in an extremely cold tone that bore no defiance!
“Yunhao, greet your second brother!”
Under Old Master Mo's terrifying gaze, Mo Yunhao broke out in cold sweat. This was his first time seeing such a frightening side of his grandfather.
In his memory, his grandparents were very compa.s.sionate seniors. He had never understood why his friends were so fearful of the Old Master at home. What could an elderly possibly do to them?
Now, he understood!
“Second… Second Brother!”
Mo Yunhao ultimately greeted with much unwillingness.
Old Master Mo nodded. “All right, I called all of you here to introduce Beihan and the kids to you all. We are a family from now on. Other matters can be discussed in the future. It's not early anymore. Let's prepare to have lunch!
“In the future, Beihan and the kids will be living in the Mo House. Let's have a family lunch first. Number two!”
Mo Wei hurriedly replied, “Present!”
“When your two young ones return from home, quickly let them meet their cousins.”
“Yes!” Mo Wei agreed.
“As for you…” Old Master Mo lowered his head to look at Mo Huai, who just crawled up and was trying his best to reduce his presence in a corner. “Steward Zhong, after this meal, lock this scoundrel up in the backyard and starve him for three days. Let him have a taste of the hunger that the countryside people experience.”
“Yes!”
Mo Huai raised his head in alarm. “Father…”
“Shut up. I'll starve you for six days if you dare beg for mercy!”
Mo Huai sealed his lips immediately.
