Chapter 565: The Deal
The cafe was very quiet; apart from the sound of their breathing, there was not the slightest noise.
Chu Mo quietly watched Yang Tianxia across from him. He was somewhat surprised at the bottom of his heart, but even more, he felt as calm as still water.
If it had been any other family that discovered his collaboration with Yang Duoer, Chu Mo would have been incredibly troubled, even losing sleep over it.
But it was Yang's family who found out about this matter, and Chu Mo didn't worry too much.
Firstly, Yang Duoer was a member of the Yang family. If Chu Mo's dealings with Yang Duoer became public, the first to be hit would not be Chu Mo, but Yang's family itself.
Moreover, Yang Duoer was after all the only and most favored daughter of the Yang family. If Yang Tianxia made this matter public, it would mean the Yang family was pushing their own daughter into an abyss of no return. As for Chu Mo, at most, he would face a full-on assault from the eight great families, but Yang Duoer, without Chu Mo's protection, might be directly dealt with in secret.
Chu Mo didn't believe that Yang Tianxia would risk the complete ruin of the Yang family's reputation and the tragic fate of his only daughter dying in the streets by revealing this affair.
So, even though he knew his greatest secret had been leaked, Chu Mo did not have any particularly worrying thoughts. He looked straight into the eyes of the middle-aged man opposite him, his voice slightly odd as he said,
"Mr. Yang plans to disown Miss Yang Duoer? Well, please do as you wish."
Chu Mo's expression was unruffled, completely unmoved, while at this moment, Yang Tianxia slightly narrowed his eyes, his expression somewhat gloomy, his voice incredibly cold as he said,
"There isn't a wall in this world that doesn't let the breeze pass through, Mr. Chu. You don't actually believe that no one knows about your little arrangement with my daughter, do you? That girl Duoer, although she is cunning and deep, she is someone who can't stay idle. Recently, she has been contacting the Danish Royal Family frequently. Despite her secretive methods, she is living right in our Yang's family home. How could any movement within the Yang family escape my watchful eye?
Connecting this with the recent visit to Capital City by the Danish princess and the sisters known as Qing Guo and Qing Cheng, that must be your handiwork, Mr. Chu! You have really laid out a grand chess game."
Chu Mo's brows furrowed slightly. Although Yang Duoer had a high IQ, in terms of mentality and means, she still fell short compared to Yang Tianxia. Her plans, though perfect, had never escaped Yang Tianxia's spies.
According to Yang Duoer's plan, she intended to secretly control the future heirs of the eight great families, thus gradually gaining control of them. Initially, Chu Mo did not agree with Yang Duoer's mad plan, but as the conflict with the eight great families became irreconcilable, he accepted the plan.
The twin sisters Qing Guo and Qing Cheng were a key part of this plan. Chu Mo was responsible for providing funds and effort to transform the sisters into princesses of the Danish Royal Family with noble status and substantial wealth, while Yang Duoer was responsible for creating opportunities for the sisters to interact with the heirs of the eight great families, to capture their hearts and achieve control over these heirs.
The entire plan revolved around Yang Duoer; apart from providing funds, Chu Mo hardly intervened, as all the planning was carried out by Yang Duoer in secret.
And in order to build the sisters Qing Guo and Qing Cheng into ideal targets, Chu Mo had already invested a terrifying sum of four hundred billion in total on the two, treating them akin to celebrity spokespersons.
However, now that the plan had been exposed, Chu Mo did not intend to continue. Giving up on Yang Duoer was Chu Mo's final decision.
Because according to the previous agreement of the plan, once exposed, all responsibility would be borne solely by Yang Duoer.
Thus, apart from feeling a bit of regret, Chu Mo was not particularly affected. He did not plan to be blackmailed by the man opposite him, so he spoke directly,
"Mr. Yang, Miss Yang Duoer is your daughter. Whether Mr. Yang intends to sever ties with Miss Yang or sells her to one of the other seven great families, that is Mr. Yang's prerogative. Whatever Miss Yang has done has nothing to do with me, Chu Mo. Please do as you wish."
Chu Mo was currently at war with the eight great families. With the power he now wielded, he was not afraid of the united suppression of the eight great families.
It was precisely because he was fully prepared at heart that Chu Mo could remain so relaxed.
Yet, Chu Mo's casual attitude clearly slightly irked Yang Tianxia.
As the head of one of the eight great families, Yang Tianxia had always been above others in any setting. Since when did a younger generation dare to be so insolent in front of him?
However, looking at the comfortably self-possessed Chu Mo across from him, despite being filled with irritation, Yang Tianxia could only swallow his frustration.
He only had some vague suspicions about the plan between Chu Mo and Yang Duoer, but no concrete evidence. Besides, Yang Duoer was after all the only daughter of the Yang family. If he made Chu Mo's plan public, Chu Mo would surely wriggle out of all responsibility, and in turn, the Yang family would be unable to clear their name.
Moreover, Yang Duoer was also the beloved of the old master. With the old master now critically ill, if Yang Tianxia pushed Yang Duoer out at this time, the old master would surely die embittered.
These were not outcomes Yang Tianxia wished to see.
After taking a deep breath and struggling to suppress the anger in his heart, Yang Tianxia slowly stabilized his emotions and spoke calmly:
