From Dusk till Dawn!

At Mo Jia's villa:

Assistant Rin looked at the 10 million cheque in shock. What kind of evil grandfather play is this? But still, he knew his Master well. Since the old man was doing this, there must be some reason behind it.

He passed the cheque to the woman standing in front of him, "Miss, you should keep your distance from our Young Master from now on. Here, take this, this is your compensation."

Mo Jia received the cheque from him before tilting her head towards Grandpa Tang who was standing with his back facing towards her. From their interactions, she understood that the other man was acting upon his orders.

"The Young Master you are speaking of… is it Tang Yichen?" she asked.

Assistant Rin nodded.

She continued asking, "The CEO of Blue Stars Entertainment?" 

Assistant Rin nodded again, "Miss, is there anything wrong?" He couldn't help but ask when he saw the bewildered expression on her face.

Grandpa Tang was also curious. This lady seems to be lacking in the brain department. Didn't his assistant mention 'Mr. Tang' earlier? Why is she asking such stupid questions?

However curious the old man was, he did not turn around to look at her. He found it worthless to waste his breath on such people who just want to climb the social ladder by relying on his grandchildren.

"Isn't this compensation too less? Who would want to accept it?" She frowned as she looked at her bracelet. Since her sister-in-law had connections so she didn't have to beg her elder brother to get the jewelry from royal collections.

She could easily buy it for herself without competing with those troublesome socialites but these accessories from the royal collection always managed to make a big hole in her bank account. Even a small hairpin costs a million.

Lately, Tang Yichen has been gifting her an accessory from royal collections every week and that made her realize that she was not as filthy rich as her brother, husband, and sister-in-law. Even her twin brother is richer than her.

Despite being the CEO of Mo Global Hospitals, she could not be counted as a billionaire. Moreover, all the NGOs and schools associated with the hospital received funding from her personal account.

Not that she wanted more money…but she concluded that despite being poor, her net worth was more than $600 million. Why would they offer her 10 million?

Grandpa Tang scoffed, "When I heard that he was in love with an actress, I knew this day will come one day. Tell, how much do you need to leave him? 30 million should be enough right?" Didn't his granddaughter say that his grandson was in love with an ordinary actress? Then why was she not fazed by money?

Anyways, the old man was impressed by her honesty and straightforwardness. He thought she would throw some drama dialogue at him like 'I can't live without him or no amount of money compares to him'.

Mo Jia blinked. Actress? When was Tang Yichen involved with an actress?

Mo Jia waved her hand even though she knew that the old man couldn't see her. She handed the check to Assistant Rin, "You misunderstand me, sir. I don't need money. I was just saying that you don't know how to do business deals. Taking 30 million to leave a man whose net worth is more than a billion, it's a loss. So, I don't need to consider it."

Assistant Rin could feel his belly hurting as he tried to stifle his laughter. Don't know how to do business deals? His Master was called a business prodigy. When was the last time that someone said such things to him?

Grandpa Tang almost puked blood. How audacious! "Are you sure?"

"Sure about what?" Mo Jia was confused. She did not understand why the old man couldn't introduce himself.

"Are you sure that you don't want to leave him because the compensation is insufficient?" The old man asked as he turned around to look at the woman who was affecting his blood pressure. And he was stunned when he saw her face.

Mo Jia blinked as she looked at the old man's face. His features were noble just like his presence. 

"I was just saying that you don't know how to do business. Who would want to lose a man who worth more than billions for the sake of 30 million? When did I say I want to leave him? We are pretty compatible. He cares for me, buys jewelry from the royal collection, and cooks for me. I like him. We are pretty good," She was the one who took the initiative to date him and she asked his hand for marriage first. How cruel would it be if she left him for a few dollars?

("_" That's a few million dollars we are talking about, do reconsider.)

'Furthermore, I want to stay with him forever.' She added in her thoughts. Regarding this, she was very sure that if they ever separated in the future, she would be staying single for the rest of her life.

Assistant Rin's lips twitched. Then why were you haggling over the amount of money like that? What age is it already? The business prodigy doesn't know how to do business? How could you even say that?

Unlike him, Grandpa Tang seemed to be thinking something as he looked at Mo Jia's face. The old man stroked his beard while his eyes narrowed like a fox, "Girl, this old man's waist is hurting by standing here."

"I am a doctor," Mo Jia took a step forward, "Can you explain where exactly is it hurting? I have some painkillers and injections here. I can help you with it."

Injection? The old man's face scrunched up in disgust as he waved his hand dismissively, "Maybe you can just invite me inside. We can sit before we talk. Standing here isn't good for my health."

Assistant Rin: "_" Sir, what are you up to? Why did your attitude take a big turn?
