Chapter 23: Revealing One's True Form

  A gentle breeze blows, the scenery is like a painting, but the atmosphere on the boat isn't very good.

  Su Mo remained still and slowly said: "Sorry, I just got up and haven't combed my hair yet, so I'm afraid I look even more disheveled!"

  Her eyes shone exceptionally bright as she gazed at the water, her slow and icy demeanor, and her indifferent words made the two elderly men who had just spoken feel very displeased.

  "Hmph, ugly people are prone to strange behavior!" The people around the Second House of the Su Family looked at him with disdain, especially Su Yuhu's eyes were full of mockery.

  Seeing this, the elder smiled slightly and said to the crowd: "It doesn't matter, we cultivators and people in the jianghu are not bothered by trivial matters."

  "This girl has no manners, I apologize for her behavior!" The two clan elders put on a show of being family leaders.

  "There's nothing to it, nothing to it." The elder of the Mo School waved his hand and said, "After all, Su Mo is the genius disciple of our school. Being a bit arrogant is also understandable. It's fortunate for the Mo School to have such an excellent disciple. And for the Su family to have such a son is something to be proud of, bringing glory to the ancestors. Don't belittle him. Although Su Yu Hou has a good foundation, compared to Su Mo, he's already far from being anything."

  At this moment, except for Su Yuhu's extremely poor complexion, everyone else was incredulous.

  Su Erbo's face turned pale: "Wait... Su Mo... how is that possible?"

  "At first I didn't believe it either, but after careful observation, I found that it was indeed so."

  Uncle Mu finally couldn't sit still, his emotions were extremely complicated. His gaze was greedy looking at the Dan medicine in front of Su Mo, while thinking about the relationship between Su Yu Hu and Jin Yu Tang. In his mind, it was fortunate that he had not formally proposed to Su Mo for a divorce. This girl looked ordinary, but she must have admired Mu Wu Hen. There were not many men as handsome and outstanding as Wu Hen in the world. After marriage, the woman's property would also be the Mu family's property. If not, let Wu Hen marry their two sisters, E Huang Nv Ying, it could also be a beautiful story to pass down.

  At this moment, he secretly thought that it would be best if neither the first nor second house of the Su family were offended, so that Mu Wuhen could enjoy the blessings of all people.

  He smiled hypocritically and said: "I see, I thought this girl was different."

  Raising an eyebrow, Su He immediately said coldly: "Oh? I remember that Shibo just said my sister is someone who doesn't understand the rules and has no upbringing."

  His uncle's old face turned slightly red as he shamelessly said, "You young one are ignorant, that is to blame deeply, to love dearly."

  He then put on a righteous and majestic attitude, deliberately letting his dissatisfaction overflow in words, accusing them: "To say the least, Su Mo, I still care about you more. You have to explain to me... why you refuse to sell the boat to our Mu family? This behavior really disappoints your elders!"

  As expected, when people get old, they really don't care about their image anymore! Su Mo couldn't help but purse her lips.

  She couldn't help but slightly curve up the corners of her mouth, "Uncle Shi, because I've already collaborated with Jin Yu Tang."

  Jin Yutang, how is this possible? Mu Bo's gaze sank for a moment.

  Although he was smiling on the surface, there was a hint of sarcasm in that smile.

  Su Mo was just a lonely orphan girl, her parents were no longer alive, what virtue and ability did she have?

  Although the other party's identity is quite different in Mo Men Da, he doesn't believe that this Su Mo will have the opportunity to cooperate with Jin Yu Tang?

  He had just thought she was making some progress, but he hadn't expected that a young servant girl with no family background or connections would actually learn to put on airs.

  "Don't believe her, she's deceiving people." Su Yuhu's voice was clear and convincing, with a hint of mockery.

  She guessed that Su Mo must be like herself, telling lies. Sometimes when Li Gui met Li Gui, she pretended to be even better, and looked at who was more like the real Li Gui.

  At the same time, several noble ladies burst out laughing, "Su Mo, don't deceive yourself, Jin Yu Tang has always been cooperating with the second house of Su's family. I'm afraid you can't even touch the gate of Jin Yu Tang, how shameless!"

  Mo Wuhen's eyes narrowed slightly, a flash of coldness and annoyance flickering in his gaze. These days, his feelings towards Su Mo seemed to be extremely complicated.

  However, when he saw that the other party actually claimed to be Jin Yutang, the disdain in his heart surged again.

  But Su Mo's emotions remained calm and unruffled, standing quietly there, making it impossible for anyone to fathom.

  At this time, a clear and elegant male voice suddenly came from outside, "Miss Su!"

  Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked towards the entrance. When they saw the two people standing there, their faces changed color in surprise!

  The two men opposite were dressed in the most luxurious aqua blue, with a noble air that came naturally, elegant and not pretentious.

  But saw that the blue-clothed man at the front had his hands clasped together, wearing a canopy hat, and the exposed skin on his lower jaw was as white as jade.

  Behold the mysterious man in front of her eyes, Su Mo's gaze was somewhat unexpected, didn't think it would be him who came personally.

  Su Yu Hu was at a loss, slightly flustered, and felt very uneasy in her heart.

  She knew that the "Miss Su" was referring to the daughter of the Su family, but only she and Su Mo could be called Miss Su in front of her.

  The noble ladies saw Mr. Zhou in the distance, although they were not qualified to see him, but they still knew this person, and immediately exclaimed with joy: "I didn't expect it was really someone from Jinyutang, Yuhu, look, Mr. Zhou has arrived, why don't you go greet him quickly?"

  Is this really a person from the Golden Jade Hall? Su Yuhu's face turned white with shock. The thoughts in his mind seemed to have come to a halt as well, what on earth was going on here?

  The noble lady had already pushed her wheelchair to the front, so she had no choice but to force a smile, her eyes drifting away, "Mr. Zhou... you're here."

  "I didn't expect anyone would recognize me. Little girl, who are you? Have I seen you before?" Mr. Zhou couldn't help but laugh.

  "Me... me..." Su Yu Hu was so tense that she couldn't speak.

  "I'm a person with an excellent memory, and I really haven't seen you before." Mr. Zhou smiled slightly and suddenly turned his gaze to Su Mo: "Miss Su Mo, we've probably arrived a bit late, sorry about that."

  "Not late, just in time." Su Mo raised his head and smiled slightly.

  As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately understood who was deceiving whom, and their gaze towards Su Yuhu was filled with thin anger and accusation.

  "Second elder, what's going on here? Didn't you say that you were cooperating with the Golden Jade Hall?" The two clan elders couldn't help but ask Su Ershu.

  "It's my fault, it's all because Su Yuhu said she knew Mr. Zhou, I was deceived by her." Su Ershu immediately didn't care about anything else and actually used his daughter as a shield at the critical moment. Next, he immediately kowtowed to admit his mistake, even disregarding the presence of outsiders, a 50-year-old old man actually cried bitterly with tears streaming down his face.

  Su Yu Hu's face was as pale as a ghost, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

  All of a sudden, there was a loud "slap" sound, and a jade-like palm slapped over, but it was Su Mo who ruthlessly slapped her.

  Su Yu Hu was on his knees, his pale and thin face covered in dirt, biting his lip, swaying unsteadily as if he would fall over with just one gust of wind.

  "This is what I, as your elder sister of the clan, am teaching you. The things that the second wife has been doing behind your back, I know all about them."

  Su Erbo's face turned pale, feeling that this loud slap was as if it had been slapped on his own face, this is killing the chicken to scare the monkey!

  Poor his darling daughter, he couldn't even bear to lift a finger himself, and Su Mo was getting more and more ruthless.

  But Su Mo lightly wiped his hand with a handkerchief, "Next time don't do anything despicable behind the back of the main house, otherwise, I'll hit you once every time I see you."

  Su Yu Hu's face had already turned pale, discovering that her elder cousin was actually a devil at heart. How could she dare to have another encounter?

  The man in blue beside him let out a soft snort, then took out a box of gold tickets and slowly said: "Alright, Su Mo, I'm here to buy the boat. Each gold ticket has the seal of Jinyu Hall on it. Is 100,000 taels enough?"

  One hundred thousand taels of silver! Mu Bo's face changed, he had only prepared eight thousand taels of silver, and he knew he was taking a huge advantage. Of course, he didn't expect Su Mo to collaborate with Jin Yu Tang, the other party was indeed generous, leaving him completely stunned.

  "That's enough, more than enough!"

  "I need to transform the entire ship into a stage within seven days." The man in blue said leisurely.

  "It's fine." Su Mo smiled casually, seven days would be enough.

  "Seven days, isn't it too hasty?" Su He had some worries.

  "It doesn't matter, just leave it to me." Su Mo remained calm and composed as she addressed the crowd on the ship: "From now on, the Su family will have a longer-term cooperation with the Jinyu Hall, and our Su family can also do its own business. Not only can we build ships, but we can also create new heights in mechanical engineering. We can even do better than that. Two elders, do you think what I just said is enough to prove my worth? Is it enough for me to take control of the Su family's power?"

  "That's enough, that's enough." The two clan elders couldn't help but nod repeatedly. At this moment, they had no room to object and didn't expect Jin Yutang to make a bid ten times higher than the other buyers, feeling both delighted and embarrassed.

  This Su Mo indeed made them look at her with new eyes, this woman was too extraordinary, not only was she highly respected in the Mo School, but she could also successfully negotiate business with Jin Yu Tang, however from start to finish her tone was always calm and composed, never once changing, this kind of temperament that can handle heavy matters lightly will surely make her a great talent in the future!

  The Su family has been in decline for a hundred years, can they be lucky enough to see its revival?

  At this time, Ran Gongzi looked at the girl in front of him who was full of energy and enthusiasm, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

  "Right." His voice was clear and magnetic, "Su Mo, I came for you today, how should you thank me?"

  Su Mo curved his mouth and adopted a relaxed posture, "Got it, thanks."

  The young master slowly stood beside her, and the eyes in the room all focused on Su Mo. He hooked his lips, and the absolute beauty under the hood was even more enchanting and charming. "Alright, let me help you. Do you still want to hide like this for how long?"

  "Have you investigated me?" Su Mo raised his eyes and said quietly.

  "Of course." Chén Gōngzǐ chuckled lightly.

  Then, Su Mo's hat was taken off by Ran Zhan, revealing her absolutely beautiful face.

  Everyone looked at her simultaneously, and a gasp of air sounded around her.

  Everyone held their breath afterwards, as if a slow-moving air mass was stuck in the chest cavity, almost forgetting to breathe.

  But then she saw the woman's beautiful eyes like jade, her appearance was stunning and unmatched, her cheeks had a faint flush, her skin was as smooth as ice and jade, and her complexion was radiant like frozen fat. She stood there like a seductive lotus flower, charming and smiling, elegant and refined, uniquely beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful, just like standing in a watercolor painting, for just one moment, it seemed eternal.

  Although she was dressed in youthful attire, her temperament was even more captivating, beautiful to the point of being irresistible.

  When everyone came back to their senses and looked at Su Mo, who was dressed as a man in front of them, they couldn't believe it!

  "What? She's Su Mo?"

  "How is this possible? Su Mo isn't even particularly good-looking, yet he's so extraordinary?"

  The Mo family was agape, they too had never seen Su Mo like this before. Su Yu Hu was even more ashamed, Su Er Ge's eyes were warm, seeing his sister reveal her true self, he felt a mix of emotions, with countless thoughts swirling in his mind.

  Mo Wuhen took a deep breath, he had never seen such a beautiful woman before. Su Yuhu was like heaven and earth compared to her, not to mention that Su Yuhu's current appearance was unbearable, and her character was also unbearable.

  Looking at Su Mo, his heart softened involuntarily, and a strange feeling spread across his chest.

  However, Su Mo turned around and said: "Right, Uncle Shu Shi, I want to call off the engagement today."
