A warYan Sui looked at his colleagues who were looking at him with eyes which belonged to that of a predator and gulped heavily, he snatched the corn which was done grilling on the stove and then carefully while huffing and puffing as the grilled corn burned his skin a little and then he placed the corn inside the coat which he was wearing.



Though his legs were trembling, he still cleared his throat and then said in a low voice, " This is ...This is something that belonged to CEO Shen, please keep your eyes and hands away from it." As he spoke he turned to look at Xiao Huai, he wanted to ask for help but as soon as he turned around and looked at Xiao Huai, and saw the same greedy gluttonous glint in his eyes, he knew that Xiao Huai had also rebelled!

" Yan Sui...?" Xiao Huai raised his gaze from the bump inside Yan Sui's pocket and then looked at the latter with a smile causing Yan Sui's brows to jump a little, even though the mer in front of him was smiling Yan Sui felt a sense of the foreboding rise in his body.

He knew that whatever that was going to come out of Xiao Huai's mouth was not going to be anything good!

And sure enough, a minute later he heard Xiao Huai say in a soft voice, " Yan Sui, are you not my brother? There is something that I need you to do, it's about the contract renewal, Pei Yang had asked for another five per cent increase in his shares ...if you do not mind then you can help me take care of him? He listens to you a lot more than he listens to me. He is going to come up at any moment now, you can deal with him while I deliver this corn to CEO Shen?"

Xiao Huai will naturally not dare to snatch something that belonged to Shen Miao who was his boss but he knew that as long as he asked for a small bite, his generous CEO will let him have at least a small bite of this delicacy which smelled better than anything that he had ever eaten! Who would have thought that an ear of simple corn could smell this good? The ones that were grown and raised artificially could not even come close to this corn which smelled nothing like the fake ones!

It was truly the real deal!

Yan Sui knew what was going on in Xiao Huai's head but the problem was that he was thinking the same, in the beginning, he did not think much of this corn ear but now that he had found out that this was such a good thing, he wanted to take a small bite of this wonderful delicacy as well more importantly, Mo Qiang was also inside the office as long as he apologised and showed interest he might be able to buy a few corn ears himself! How can he give up this chance?

If he allowed Xiao Huai to go inside then wouldn't it mean that Xiao Huai will the one who will book these corn ears before him? What if there was only a small stock of them? If those were snatched away by Xiao Huai, then wouldn't he be regretful?

The people living in the imperial star did not lack money what they lacked was good food, thus every time when something good came up ——they wouldn't waste any time buying it. And the good things did not last long!

" I ...I will go and give it to CEO Shen, there is no need to trouble yourself," Yan Sui immediately looked away betraying the many years of non-plastic friendship that he had with Xiao Huai. " As for Pei Yang just ask him to wait, I will come back and then deal with him, don't stress about it."

Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes, he had known Yan Sui for a long time. Given how sneaky Yan Sui was acting it was not just about the corn ear there was something more ...but what? As he carefully started to think Yan Sui who finally found an opening turned around to sneak back inside Shen Miao's office.

But he did not even get a single chance to take a step out of the secretary's kitchen when he felt Xiao Huai grasp his shoulder and whisper coldly in his ears as his warm breath fell over Yan Sui's ear like a devil, " Mo Qiang was the one who brought these right?"

The fact that Xiao Huai was working in this company was enough to tell how wise he was thus it did not take long for him to put one and one together. The reason Yan Sui was so eager to deliver this corn ear was not only because he wanted to take a bite of this corn ear but also because he wanted to order a few corn ears for himself from the little stock that Mo Qiang had!

This evil mer! No wonder he was in such a hurry!

Xiao Huai did not even need Yan Sui to answer his question, as soon as the colour drained from his colleague and friend's face, Xiao Huai knew that he was right.

" Give that corn ear to me," Xiao Huai drawled as he pulled Yan Sui back while the latter tried to drag his feet towards Shen Miao's office.

" No!"

" Give it to me!"

" No!"

In this world where finding something good to eat was similar to finding a needle in a haystack, there was no such thing as friends. Thus, the second Xiao Huai and the others caught wind of the fact that they could get a stock of corn ears for themselves if they went inside Shen Miao's office, no one held themselves back and attacked Yan Sui with all their might!

What friendship? What good work atmosphere? Can it revive their taste buds which have almost died while eating E and D-grade crops and solutions?

This was war! And only the best one among them will win!

-------------------

A war——2Yan Sui was strong but the others were just as strong, thus the small task of simply grilling the corn ear turned into a fiasco which created quite a sight. Pei Yang who came up to stubbornly increase his share per cent by five per cent witnessed a peculiar sight, the elegant and elite secretaries who did not even show their ugly side when they were being cursed at, were choke-slamming and rack attacking each other.



For a few minutes he thought that he came to the wrong place but when he saw that it was indeed the same office where he came earlier, he could not help but gulp. Did his outrageous demand cause a feud between the secretaries? He did see Xiao Huai smiling at him like he wanted to eat him alive, what if Xiao Huai asked someone else to handle him but they refused causing such a fiasco?

" I...I think there is no need for an increase in the shares," he said in a voice which was quivering like a frightened quail.

"Shut up!" The secretaries who were trying to snatch the corn ears and maple syrup bottle from Yan Sui screamed at Pei Yang.

Pei Yang the innocent victim: "....."As you say, your majesties.

....

Shen Miao had been waiting for her grilled corn for a long time because her office was completely sound proof, she did not know that there was a ruckus going outside, upon seeing that it was more than fifteen minutes, she turned to one of the guards intending to ask her to see what Yan Sui was up to when the door banged open.

With his clothes tattered and glasses askew, Yan Sui who looked like the winner of a hardcore battle walked inside as he took the corn ear out of his coat's pocket along with the maple syrup bottle like he had rescued them from a storm and said while panting, " He..here is you...your grilled corn, CEO Shen."

The first thing Shen Miao looked at was the corn whose every kernel looked shiny with a glittering gloss before raising her head and looking at Yan Sui who seemed to be having a hard time standing up straight.

" Are you okay, assistant Yan?" She seemed to have realised that maybe asking Yan Sui to grill the corn ear was too much, she only thought that the corn ear might not be an A+++ grade and did not think about the consequences in case it turned out to be an A+++ grade.

Looking at the sorry state of her assistant, she already knew what happened outside.

" I ...I am fine, cough," Yan Sui widened his eyes before closing them a little, he then turned to look at Mo Qiang and dragged his feet as he came to a stop in front of Mo Qiang and asked, " Yo...You have more stock of these, right, Miss Mo?"

Mo Qiang already knew that she will start getting orders as soon as she proved the worth of her corn ear, she turned to look at Mo Xifeng and wriggled her brows at her sister as if to tell her that what she said was turning into reality which caused Mo Xifeng's brows to twitch a little.

She had a feeling that Yan Sui was going to get sucked dry of his blood.

" Of course, I do but as I just awakened there is not much stock with me, because of this, the price——"

" I will pay whatever price just ...just keep a box of corn ..no three boxes of corn ears and five bottles of maple syrup," Yan Sui already knew that he will have to fork out at least ten to twelve million golden coins. He had once brought a box of A++ grade corn and it cost him a million coins, since this one was a grade higher, he will have to fork a bit more out.

' Gotcha!' Mo Qiang the evil capitalist laughed inside but on the outside, she smiled at Yan Sui and said sweetly, " Thank you for your patronage, at the moment, I cannot take calls because my monitor's screen is a bit damaged but you can ask my sister for her number and call her, we will notify you once your stock is prepared and you can pay the amount as you like, once the payment is done... leave your address behind."

Yan Sui did not waste any time in taking Mo Xifeng's phone number while Shen Miao who watched the proceedings was amused, she looked at the three drinks which Yan Sui prepared with great risk and the corn ear before turning to look at her husbands, and then she said, "Let's dig in, shall we?"

Cao Jian and Fu Qiuning nodded, as Fu Qiuning picked up a fruit knife and then cut the corn ears into three parts, he took the smallest one while handing his wife the biggest one and then the second largest one to Cao Jian.

But to make sure that he was not on the losing side he picked up the flask that had tea inside it and then poured a generous amount for himself while leaving the rest for Cao Jian and Shen Miao to share.

Shen Miao was not a fan of sweets which was why she handed the flask to Cao Jian who poured the remaining in his cup while leaving only a small amount for Shen Miao.

Once they were done the three of them took a bite of the corn ear —— the sweetness of the plump and shiny kernels exploded in their mouth causing their eyes to widen. Warm energy started to flow inside their bodies causing Shen Miao's constant to ease a little, while Fu Qiuning who suffered from severe eye pain because he had to shoot under sharp glares of light felt his eye pain relief a little.

On the other hand, Cao Jian felt a calmness which he had never felt while bullying his mind to create more and more creative songs. The throbbing in the back of his head calmed down and even his sour temper turned a bit better.

————-

Under my wingThere was no need to question the authenticity of the corn ear which was brought by Mo Qiang. This sweetness and ability to provide instant comfort was something that only an A+++ grade crop could do, Fu Qiuning who had finished taking a bite of the corn turned to look at Cao Jian who was staring at the cup of tea in his hands with an assessing glint in his eyes.



Seeing this Fu Qiuning took a sip of the tea and was pleasantly surprised when he tasted the sweetness of the maple syrup which was devoid of any artificiality. This was the first time in his twenty-eight years of life that he was tasting a sweetness that had nothing to do with the chemical composition which tried really hard to copy the sweetness of natural sugarcane yet failed again and again.

What was the real deal, if someone was to ask him, the Fu Qiuning will most probably show them this maple syrup and say that this was the real deal in front of this maple syrup all those sweeteners were nothing but fake!

He sat the teacup down on the table and then looked at it with a deep and profound gaze before turning to look at his wife who just told him that he may or may not have made a mistake, does this A+++ crop look like a mistake?

Shen Miao did not turn her head to look at Fu Qiuning, she knew that her husband was eyeing her closely waiting for her to say something along the lines of an apology but if she was to apologise in front of Mo Qiang, how will she be able to maintain her cold and ruthless president image?

She could only text Fu Qiuning that she will buy him that BNV flying car which he had been eyeing for a long time as an apology gift. Only then did Fu Qiuning turn to look away from Shen Miao's face and turned his attention to Mo Qiang who was staring at them in a polite manner. She did not look haughty nor did she look servile, her temper seemed to have gone a one-eighty-degree change and it impressed him a lot.

Not many could stand in front of him and Shen Miao without lowering their gazes, but Mo Qiang was looking straight at them in the eyes.

He chuckled, though he had to admit that Mo Qiang's sincerity was really good he knew that she did not bring this box of corn just to show her sincerity, Fu Qiuning was not only a model but he was also the senior mentor of many models in the company, surely he knew that such a good thing will come with a price and now that they have tasted and found a source to get something so good it was impossible for them to back to the artificial sweeteners and the old corn ears which they were used to eating and because those crops which were grown artificially were not as good as the solution which could be bought at the supermarket, many chose to drink those solutions even if they tasted weird, as long as they got all the nutrients that they possibly could there was nothing wrong with sacrificing a few taste buds.

But now, Fu Qiuning rubbed the rim of the cup and then opened his full lips as he said, " Miss Mo, you really are generous. I am willing to forgive you just because you brought such a good thing, I am sure that my wife and Brother Jian feel the same way, but what I want to ask is just how deep your sincerity runs?"

As he spoke he raised his head and looked at Mo Qiang who was still smiling sweetly at him with her arms crossed behind her back as she reeled in the words which Fu Qiuning had said to her, it was just as she expected even though Shen Miao was the CEO of this company, Fu Qiuning was the one who was behind the scenes taking control of everything.

Mo Qiang did not look down on Fu Qiuning just because he was a mer, instead, she treated him as her equal. Even if the mers were genetically created by the scientists of this world they were no less than a woman and a man, which was why she did not dare to look at him as if she was slighting him, more importantly, she saw that even Shen Miao was giving up in front of Fu Qiuning, one could see just how much influence Fu Qiuning had over Shen Miao and in this company!

" Of course, my sincerity runs very deep," she honestly replied to Fu Qiuning though her spine was straight and her voice was not wavering, Mo Qiang's hands had turned clammy, and she looked at Fu Qiuning who was studying her like he was waiting for her to drop the bomb such that he will have a chance to kick her out.

'Don't worry, he cannot just kick you out! You have the A+++ crop shield!' Mo Qiang told herself as she looked at Fu Qiuning and started to implement her plan.

" I am willing to give you a VIP pass which will allow you to have priority over other customers and I am willing to give you a five per cent discount as well..." She paused and then added, " In fact, I can make it ten if only you contract Shao Hui under your label."

There it was, she finally said the reason why she was here. In fact, Mo Qiang was not confident when she said that she will be able to help Shao Hui's father, after all, she was just a small farmer at the moment and even though she had spiritual powers, three hundred million golden coins was not something that she could just whip out of thin air.

For such a big sum, she needed some time in fact a lot of time —— she could wait but Shao Hui's father cannot, which was why it was better if she gave Shao Hui what he wanted, anyway, she only promised that she will help him, she never said that she will collect three hundred million for him. So, logically, she was not wrong!

Under my wing ——2-------------------



Three hundred million might be a big sum for her at the moment because she was not well known in the imperial star what was more she had the tag of the daughter of a traitor, so it will not be easy for her to earn that big of a sum but it was a small sum for Shao Hui as long as he was willing to work hard and take as many projects as he can, he married her predecessor after she was exiled which meant that no one knew about their marriage, as long as they hid their marriage well, Shao Hui will be fine.

Maybe she will be able to divorce him now that she had sort of made it up to him. Mo Qiang thought in her head. Shao Hui and her predecessor never consummated their marriage because her predecessor thought that it was too much of an embarrassment to marry a mer who belonged to a family which was neither high nor low, of course, she would despise sleeping with him, so as long as she hands the divorce agreements to Shao Hui with generous terms, he will most probably sign them, right?

'But I should still wear armour this time, the hits from the last time still hurts a lot,' she thought in her head as her brows twitched a little when she was reminded of how her bottom continued to hurt like a little b*tch after Yin Fu hit her with that tiffin of his.

Fu Qiuning was surprised when he heard that all Mo Qiang wanted was another chance for Shao Hui, when he saw Mo Qiang come bearing gifts, he thought that she was just here to ask for money or contacts but she actually came here just to get what her husband deserved without asking anything in return?

"Are you sure that is all you want?" Shen Miao asked with a deep voice, in fact, the terms which were set by Mo Qiang were all in favour of her and her company. If she was to agree to these terms not only will she gain a VIP pass, a ten per cent discount but also a talented and skilled idol like Shao Hui. There was no loss for her.

Mo Qiang wanted to say that it was all when Xiao Jiao immediately fluttered over to her ear and then said in a hurried voice, "You can ask her to take care of your second husband as well, he is an actor and finished his education from the imperial drama academy. As long as he is under the same label as Shao Hui, the two of them will bring good benefits."

Xiao Jiao wanted to use the popularity of the two mers to bring as much attention to the Goddess of nature, what the poor squirrel did not know was that Mo Qiang was actually planning to divorce her husbands one after another as long as they were stable and were no longer relying on her family.

Even now as she handed this sudden suggestion to Mo Qiang, she did not know that she only added more ammunition to Mo Qiang's desires and then ignited them all in one go.

"There is one more thing, if you don't mind then can you give him a chance to Xie Jie for auditions, he finished his education at the imperial drama academy, I am not sure about his skills but he looks really good and passed with flying colours he might be able to do a good job," as she finished speaking she further added, "I will increase the discount per cent by another three per cent and add a freebie. As long as the two of them are treated well according to their talents, I have nothing more to ask."

Mo Qiang could have asked Shen Miao to give generous conditions to the two husbands of hers since she was such a rare awakener but she did not want to make use of such means to make Shao Hui and Xie Jie rise to the top.

As long as they were skilled and Shen Miao was willing to give them a chance it was enough.

Shen Miao looked at Mo Qiang pensively, she did not agree or disagree. Instead, she continued to look into Mo Qiang's eyes which were clear and did not seem to be hiding any evil intentions for a while she could not understand how it was possible for anyone to change so much.

She had the power, the chance to ask for anything but she gave it up for her husbands?

Mo Xifeng was also looking at Mo Qiang in surprise, she expected that her sister was working so hard just because she wanted Shao Hui to get a chance such that he will be able to fight for a spot in this company but now that she was looking at it, her sister was willing to make obvious losses all because she wanted to see Shao Hui and Xie Jie succeed and become something, she was truly repenting!

Mo Xifeng's favourability points rose by another ten points as Mo Qiang turned to look at the latter with confusion in her eyes. What in the world? She was working hard to lay down the premise to divorce her husbands, why was Mo Xifeng's favourability rising?

"I accept," though Mo Qiang was confused she did not have the time to delve into the matter as Shen Miao who was done making her decision straightened up in her seat and then turned to look at Yan Sui who nodded and then took two contracts out from his item box as he placed it on Shen Miao's table after making some amendments.

"I will have these two copies of contracts handed to you, they are according to what you have asked me," Shen Miao looked at the blue glass contracts which had green and yellow texts written on them and then raised her hand to type something on them with her fingers before she raised her head and looked at Mo Qiang and asked, "Is there any changes that you want to make?"

"I do...please transfer Shao Hui under my wing." Cao Jian spoke up suddenly before Mo Qiang could say anything..

Getting a divorce agreement" Jian, are you sure?" Shen Miao was surprised when she heard that Cao Jian wanted Shao Hui to be trained under him, the last time he picked up an idol to be trained he made that idol be recognised by every single citizen of the imperial star, there were some international fans from the other star as well.



If not for the idol retiring and marrying the love of his life, he could have become a global idol! For Shao Hui to be under Cao Jian, as long as the mer was not stupid, he was destined to achieve greater things!

" I am sure," in fact, Cao Jian had the same idea when he heard Shao Hui sing that day when he came for an audition, even though Shao Hui's temper was childlike and he was a bit hasty, it could not be denied that he had a voice which when trained carefully can reach new records.

He was going to suggest taking Shao Hui under his wing but then Mo Qiang made a fuss and he decided against it, there was no need for him to take such a troublesome talent under him but now that Mo Qiang was willing to straighten up her character, he was willing to give Shao Hui another chance.

What was more, the maple syrup was really fit for his taste buds, he had a sweet tooth it was such a pity that he did not find something more fitting before but now that he did, he was in a much better mood to take on a disciple even the sourness of getting betrayed was no longer haunting him as much as it did in the past.

Seeing that Cao Jian had thought it through, Shen Miao did not say anything she simply looked at Mo Qiang and then spoke in a soft voice, " Now that Jian has spoken, I will have you known that the risks have risen. In the past, Jian took an idol but he retired before Jian could teach him all the skills and polish his talent to finesse which is why, I will add another clause——"

" Shao Hui is not allowed to retire until or unless he reaches the peak of his stardom by winning the award of God of Star Idols, and your marriage will of course have to remain hidden until the, are you all right with this clause Miss Mo?" Shen Miao asked Mo Qiang with a stern voice.

Though she was being a bit selfish by putting this clause, she had no choice but to do so, Cao Jian was a perfectionist and the last time when the student whom he took under his wing went ahead and married a woman before retiring her husband almost went under severe depression.

Shen Miao did not blame Cao Jian, her husband had raised that mer like a child of his own, he stayed with him on every step and even wrote songs which could have been sold for millions for that child without asking for a penny in return, all Cao Jian wanted was that mer to reach the peak and win the title of the God of Star Idols but that mer betrayed Cao Jian at the last moment.

Instead of using the song which was supposed to be sung by him, he gave it to his wife who used that song to win against their company. If that idol had done justice to the song written by Cao Jian, her husband would not have said a word but that song which was sung by the idol sounded like it was molten glass being poured inside their ears.

Not only was he betrayed by his disciple but he was also embarrassed and humiliated—— the song which contained his blood, sweat and tears was used for petty measures and his hard work was not justified at all.

Back then Cao Jian did not sign a contract with that mer which made it easier for that mer to pat his butt and leave but it was not easy for Cao Jian to start writing his songs again, Shen Miao did not want a repetition of that incident.

Mo Qiang was willing to change but she could not trust her completely, what if Mo Qiang changes her mind suddenly and stops Shao Hui from continuing his career?

Shen Miao's worries were normal but what the woman did not know was that Mo Qiang wanted to divorce Shao Hui, the terms which Shen Miao added to the contract worked totally in her favour. The conditions which were given by Shen Miao and her company were too tempting to refuse, there was no way Shao Hui who wanted to earn a quick sum of money for his father will refuse these terms.

And with the marriage shall remain hidden from the public clause added to the contract, Shao Hui will sign the divorce agreement without a fuss! She will be free from that dangerous mer once and for all!

Mo Qiang cheered in her head as she tried hard to suppress the smile coming on her lips, she patted her chest and then looked at Shen Miao with confidence brimming in her eyes, " Don't worry, President Shao. I will make sure that Shao Hui will bring glory to this company, if my marriage with him gets found out, I am even willing to divorce him."

Mo Xifeng who was standing on the sidelines whipped her head at the speed of light to look at Mo Qiang's direction almost creating after images.

It seems like this contract was more fitting to the taste of her sister than her brother-in-law, Mo Xifeng still hasn't forgotten how her sister tried to ask for a divorce from her elder brother-in-law earlier, surely, she was still hung up on the same idea as before.

While the Mo sisters were aware of what was the thought process going on behind this sentence from Mo Qiang. Shen Miao had no idea, she looked at Mo Qiang who was making such a reckless promise all for the sake of giving her mer husband a chance to succeed and was touched beyond the limits of oblivion!

Getting an agreement ——2-----------------



" There is no need for you to say something so serious," Shen Miao waved her hand. She never wanted to say that she will have the two of them divorced if their marriage was found out, she was just trying to warn them and keep everything low-key. " You do not have to worry about anything, the technology these days is really advance and we have enough means to fake a virginity mark to suppress the photos and videos of our idols but it will still be better if you stay cautious."

The times were advanced now, no mer stayed a virgin for the sake of a woman. There were enough means to fake a virginity mark and Shen Miao did not have anything against them either, as long as the mer idols kept their private life hidden from the world, she had no problem with what they did after all, she was their boss, not a tyrant who will govern everything that they did.

" There is no need for President Shen to worry about these things," Mo Qiang answered, since she was going to divorce Shao Hui, what he did with other women was his mess and problems. She would have nothing to do with it!

Mo Xifeng who looked at her sister agreeing to such a harsh clause without a single blink of an eye lit up a candle in her heart, as for whether this candle was for Shao Hui or Mo Qiang, it was yet to be found out. But she was rather inclined to believe that this candle was better suited for Mo Qiang, the last time when her sister brought up the matter of divorce in front of her first brother-in-law, the latter had beaten her black and blue, which was given that Yin Fu's temper was the mildest among the three.

Shao Hui was like a firecracker, he would blow up at the smallest thing and Xie Jie though he was the silent one among the three mers, his head was full of bad ideas, and it could be said that his belly was stuffed with one evil plan after another. The last time her sister caused Xie Jie's brother to get hurt by arranging his marriage with an evil official just because she wanted to avoid paying her debts, she broke her spine and had to stay on bed rest for more than two months.

Though Xie Jie's brother was still harmed, Mo Qiang suffered a great retaliation as well.

This time who knows what Mo Qiang was going to suffer from?

Mo Qiang on the other hand had no such worries, she took the contracts from Xie Jie and then bid her goodbye with a smile on her face. As she turned around and left the company, Mo Qiang could not smile until her lips were hurting.

Finally, she will be able to get rid of those two troublemakers!

Mo Xifeng looked at her sister's smiling face and shook her head, her sister was still too naive.

Just as Mo Xifeng expected, Mo Qiang stopped by the civil service bureau and went inside with an intact face but returned with a face which was all scratched up, Mo Xifeng wanted to ask what happened but Mo Qiang simply shook her head while clutching the squirrel name Xiao Jiao in her hand tightly who was still screeching loudly.

" I worked so hard! I gave you a buff such that you will make those two stars and have them work for me such that the power and the grace of Goddess of Nature will be known to all! And yet you!"

" You want to divorce? Fine divorce me as well. The powers will go with me and the kids will also go with me, you heartless woman! You wipe your butt after entangling in bed dont you?"

" I gave you my body and soul, everything and now that your pants are secured you do not wish to recognise what I have done for you? Heartbreaker! Jerk! Selfish woman! A woman with no conscience!"

Xiao Jiao screeched as if she was the one getting a divorce agreement. The two spirits who saw their master and second master fight did not utter a peep, they simply hid deeper in the thick hair of Mo Qiang and refused to show their faces only displaying their butts to the world.

As Mo Qiang listened to the screams of the little squirrel, she truly wished she could divorce this squirrel as well!

...

Shao Hui who returned home from the hospital did not know that he was going to get a divorce agreement, his shoulders were sunken and his face was shrouded in heavy gloom, as he stepped inside the house, his feet made loud stomps as he headed up the stairs without greeting anyone.

Wen Gui was cleaning the house with the help of a small cleaning robot when he saw Shao Hui stomp up the stairs without greeting him, he rolled his eyes to the heavens. What was with this child now? Did his daddy get diarrhoea from eating that godforsaken chicken?

Though Wen Gui disliked his sons-in-law very much, he knew that his daughter was no saint either which was why he did not bully them even though he disliked them very much.

" You did a good job," Mo Yan was packing up the corn ears and maple syrups which she had extracted from the fields which were being raised by her daughter and looked at her husband after raising her head. " This time you managed to hold back a sarcastic reply."

" Haha, do I look that evil to you?" Wen Gui was not amused by the praise of his wife, he picked up a rag and threw it at Mo Yan who dodged it with ease. " I know tact as well and since I know that the child came back from the hospital, of course, I will not say anything to him. But given that he looked like someone owed him a huge debt, I am afraid that he will not hold back when Qi Qi comes back."

Fatherless childWen Gui was now used to his daughter and son-in-law's argument, every time Shao Hui went to the hospital to visit his father, he will come to remember just what kind of sin Mo Qiang had committed by stopping him from becoming an idol and earning a quick sum of money which could help him treat his father.



When he returned his face would be longer than the woman who once lost all her money to a debt collector and he would be as agitated and explosive as a firecracker, his mouth would be filled with gun powder and the second his gaze fell on Mo Qiang's figure, it would be like someone had lit up a matchstick and ignited the gun powder which Shao Hui was carrying inside his mouth.

The two of them would quarrel and quarrel until the sun went down and in the end, Mo Qiang would rush out to gamble while Shao Hui would stay behind and curse Mo Qiang for being a heartless woman with tears streaming down his cheeks.

This time too Wen Gui had no other expectations from his daughter and son in law even if Mo Qiang had turned over to become a new leaf, it was impossible for his daughter to come with an enormous amount of three hundred million golden star coins. Surely, Shao Hui was going to give Mo Qiang another round of scolding as soon as he sees her again today.

" You do not need to worry about the matters of youngsters," Mo Yan did not think that Shao Hui was in the wrong, the mer who was lying in the hospital was his biological father, of course, he would be agitated upon realising just how helpless he was at the moment, since Mo Qiang was in the wrong from the start they could not stop Shao Hui from taking his anger out either. " Leave this matter to them, maybe one of these days they will come up with a plan."

As she spoke she patted the boxes which were made of white material called doralite, it was said that this material was so hard that no matter where it was sent in their galaxy it will not break and would arrive at the destination properly, though it was a bit expensive Mo Yan did not spare any expense when she brought these boxes.

The boxes were expensive but the material inside was even more expensive and cannot be spoiled!

" With Qi Qi's awakening, I think she will soon come with the money to pay for in law's treatment," Mo Yan was a bit confident in Mo Qiang now that she knew that her daughter had awakened and her ability was one of the rarest one in the imperial star.

When Wen Gui heard his wife's words, he rolled his eyes. Though this matter was indeed related to money, it was also linked with Shao Hui's dream and passion. Even if Mo Qiang was to come up with that huge sum, he did not believe that Shao Hui will ever stop fighting Mo Qiang in his life!

Just as he was about to speak, the doorbell rang causing Wen Gui and Mo Yan to stiffen. Their two daughters knew the passcode of the house surely they will not ring the doorbell and the ones who were allowed inside their house would not ring the bell either, which meant——

Mo Yan's eyes turned grim as she turned to look at Wen Gui and said, " Make them sit here, I will take these things away and you two." She turned to Yin Fu and Xie Jie as she spoke in a hurried voice, " Go to your rooms and do not come down!"

The last time these people came to their house, they wanted to take the three young mers away in exchange for money!

....

Mo Qiang did not know that trouble was waiting for her at home, at this moment she was happily counting the money in her bank balance.

" One..two...three....thirty.. we are the proud owners of thirty million golden star coins, Xifeng!" She had counted the money again and again in fear that it will blow up in a bubble of smoke but no matter how many times she counted the money in her account it remained the same which made her smile so much that she was almost going to get age lines at the tender age of twenty.

Mo Xifeng was amused by her sister's antics but her amusement died when she looked at the agreement which read 'Divorce agreement', her gaze fell on the agreement which was written on an electronic glass tab and then she turned to look at Mo Qiang and asked in a solemn voice, " Sister are you really going to divorce second brother in law and third brother in law, don't you think that you are making a decision in a rushed manner?"

Marriage was a severe matter and so was divorce, her sister did not even discuss it with their parents and from what she could see, her two brothers-in-law had no idea what was coming for them either, wasn't this just too much on her sister's part?

No matter how much she did not like her husbands, it was wrong of her to divorce them without even asking them their opinion regarding whether or not they wanted to divorce or not.

Though Mo Qiang also thought that she was being heartless, she could not help but shudder when she thought of the negative favourability points, it was not that she was giving up but she really cannot handle someone like Shao Hui.

That mer was too impulsive and with his favourability points which were almost close to a negative one thousand, she did not dare to keep him close.

Xie Jie was also the same, though he did not seem like he was a bad mer—— she knew from the memories of her predecessor that this mer's belly was full of bad ideas, and keeping them here with her was equivalent to asking for the grim reaper to come and reap her soul, so why will she keep them?

Wasn't it good if they get a new job and a divorce from such an Evil looking lady? Maybe they might be overjoyed to the point that they will cry!

-----------------------------

Fatherless child——-2Though Xiao Jiao wanted to keep them since they were destined to make big changes and use them later on, Mo Qiang did not think that it was safe to keep them with her. As for their negative favourability points, it was bound to go up when they get this divorce agreement with such a contract which was going to spoil them rotten right?



Xiao Jiao knew what was going on in Mo Qiang's head and simply called her naive in her head. Those mers indeed hated Mo Qiang very much but there was no way they were going to sign this divorce agreement, Shao Hui was a mer whose father was on his deathbed. At this point, if his father found out that his son was divorced by his wife, maybe Father Shao would truly jump off the building under the misunderstanding that he was the reason why Shao Hui was divorced.

Even though Mo Qiang was not a good woman, Daddy Shao was a mer who was raised in an official's house. Ever since he was a kid, he was taught that a mer was nothing without his wife or husband because the sole existence of his kind was created only for catering for the need of men and women while giving birth to a child for them.

Thus, he would never support Shao Hui in getting a divorce from Mo Qiang. The mers also had the freedom just like women and men but Shao Hui still did not divorce Mo Qiang wasn't it because he knew that his daddy who was abandoned by his wife will not be able to take the blow of his son getting a divorce as well.

In the eyes of Daddy Shao no matter what kind of woman his son married, his son was supposed to stay with his wife till the end.

With his condition, there was no way he could be agitated thus Shao Hui signing this agreement was null.

As for Xie Jie, he and his brother were the illegitimate mer sons of the Xie family, it could be said that the two of them were hated greatly by the patriarch of the Xie family who wished that they will die a horrible death of a bastard.

If not why else would the Xie brothers get married to women like Mo Qiang and that official named Wang Sui?

Xie Jie knew that he would be in great danger without the protection of Mo Yan and her family which was why he will never sign the agreement as well. He was very well aware of the fact that the patriarch of the Xie family will never let him leave Mo Qiang much less run amok and become a danger to his family, with no place which he could call his home —— signing a divorce agreement was impossible.

More importantly, maybe it was because Mo Qiang did not receive all the memories from her predecessor but she seemed to have forgotten that Xia Jie's brother was married off to that wicked official under her scheme.

But since her little accomplice was enjoying this daydream of her a bit too much Xiao Jiao did not say anything and simply ignored her. Now that she was calm enough to rationalise her thoughts Xiao Jiao was no longer angry, there was no way she will allow Mo Qiang to divorce those mers who had golden specks which meant that they were destined to do big things in the future!

The sole responsibility of reviving her Goddess's fame and powers relied on her, she could not let this stupid woman mess it up for her!

Xiao Jiao: never divorcing! Not allowed to divorce!

Mo Qiang: Divorce! Divorce! Divorce!

...

When the two of them returned home, they heard the voices of someone arguing, Mo Xifeng who parked the car in the garage immediately turned her head and focused her attention on the conversation which was going on inside the living room and when she realised the content of the matter, her face turned as dark as the bottom of the pot.

She pushed open the door of the flying car with a swift flick of her wrist and then walked towards the stairs. Seeing that Mo Xifeng was striding up with an annoyed look on her face, Mo Qiang exchanged a glance with Xiao Jiao before she too chased after her sister and arrived at the living room.

On the couch sat two women, who looked up at Mo Qiang who walked inside the living room but did not bother to even greet her as for Mo Xifeng who was asking them to not go too far was scolded by the plump woman on the right as she sneered and spat coldly,

" What are you barking for? Do you still think that you are the rising sun of the imperial star? Sure enough, a fatherless child shows her virtue. Do you not know that a child who is not born by the official father has no rights, she does not even have the right to take the property of her mother? So with what right are you intervening?"

When the plump woman finished speaking, Mo Yan and the rest of the family's faces changed. Even though she was speaking to Mo Xifeng alone everyone knew that she was not only scolding Mo Xifeng but also Wen Gui by calling him biased and not raising Mo Xifeng properly.

Wen Gui who was scolded trembled, he might have not treated Mo Xifeng as well as Mo Qiang because Mo Xifeng's daddy had always been a knot in his heart. That mer was beautiful which was why he was able to seduce his wife into marrying him, when he was yet to marry Mo Yan, he was shy and timid and did not make much fuss but the second he married over, he showed his true colours.

Lazy and not willing to back down. He fought day and night with him even causing him to almost miscarry Mo Qiang, this was still fine since Wen Gui knew that many husbands meant trouble in the house.

But then that mer ran away the second he caught wind of the fact that Mo Yan was going to be exiled and his wife brought this daughter of hers from God knows where, though he was reluctant he still raised Mo Xifeng properly, whatever Mo Qiang had, she did too—— so how come he was being scolded for not doing a proper job in raising her!

A kissMo Xifeng's face was flushed in shame as she looked at the woman in front of her, she wished she could retaliate but what the plump woman said was right.



For the sake of avoiding any unwanted trouble because of the children of a woman or a man in case, they started a war among themselves for the inheritance of their parents with their awakened powers, her majesty came up with the law that only the child who was born from the womb of the official mer husband will be given the power to inherit the business or properties of her or his mother, as for those who were given birth to by the second or the third husband can only roll to a side and earn their own money.

They were only allowed to take over lest the child of the official husband was not capable to take on the responsibility and their mother had given up on them totally.

Or unless they were taken under the official husband and raised as his own child.

With Mo Qiang still in the frame, Mo Xifeng did not have as many rights as her elder sister who was the plump woman who used this matter to her advantage and embarrassed Mo Xifeng.

" Miss Su Wen, are you not going too far?" Mo Yan's face was rather dark when she heard Su Wen embarrass her daughter, though Mo Xifeng was the daughter of that mer who placed a heavy green cap on her head, Mo Yan had never hated this daughter of hers which was why she tried so hard to find her and brought her back home.

She even asked Wen Gui to raise Mo Xifeng under his name but then she was sent away to war before getting exiled to this downgraded Star which had nothing but poisonous gases and fumes and never got another chance to place Mo Xifeng under Wen Gui's name. This remained a long-term regret in her heart and even though she knew that Mo Xifeng did not blame her, she knew that such words still left a mark on Mo Xifeng's heart!

On the other hand, Su Wen did not act like she had done anything wrong. She puffed her fat chest out and crossed her arms while looking at Mo Yan with an arrogant look on her face and then said in a huffy voice, " Did I say anything wrong eh? Wasn't I right when I stopped her from speaking... she is the daughter of the mer husband who did not divorce you and went to sleep with another woman. Forget about having a proper identity, she does not even have a proper background, forgive me if I am wrong, Miss Mo but this is the law which was brought down by her majesty, herself! Am I not right?"

She turned to look at the lanky woman who was sitting beside her and nodded and agreed with Su Wen, " She is right, the daughter of an unofficial husband does not have the right to intervene in the official matters of her family unless the legitimate child dies."

' So this woman is asking Mo Xifeng to swipe her in half?' Thought Mo Qiang in her head as she looked at the tall and lanky woman along with the plumper one.

She looked down at Xiao Jiao and shook her awake, but the latter turned her head like an angry wife and did not look at her seeing this Mo Qiang said, " If I help Mo Xifeng right now, the entire family's favourability points would increase."

Xiao Jiao turned her head to look at Mo Qiang, she half wished to say that she did not care about such things but then she heard Mo Qiang say, " You are so angry at me because of the favourability points, don't tell me you are going to say that you do not care about them, if that is the case then why did you scratch me? Aren't you being too much of a hypocrite?"

Xiao Jiao the hypocrite: "....."

" Who is the hypocrite??" the little squirrel's fur exploded as she rolled her eyes in anger and said, " Those two women are officials who are responsible for taking the compensation regarding the heavy damages which were received by the mecha fighter jet, for which your mother was framed for... they are backed by the Wei family and thus they are simply fearless. Annoying sh*ts!"

" Anyway, the law they are stating is the one in the second section of the one hundred fifty articles, for the sake of avoiding wars among the many children who have awakened, the empress of this world took away the rights from the unofficial husbands' children to inherit the properties of their parents. They can be willingly raised by the official husband which would allow them to inherit a part but until and unless the official husband takes them under their name, they are not allowed to take part in anything which is related to the official matters of the family."

" Mo Xifeng spoke in between just now despite not being the child of Wen Gui which is why they are embarrassing her, your father for not being a good father and your mother for having a green hat placed on her head by Mo Xifeng's father."

" I know that already," seeing that Xiao Jiao was stating what she knew already Mo Qiang's smile went a bit taut as she said, " What I am asking is how can I kick them out."

" Humph, first say that you will never divorce those mers!" Xiao Jiao demanded.

" Or how about I kiss you until your fur is peeled off?" Mo Qiang questioned causing Xiao Jiao to look at her in shock with her mouth agape and she stammered, " Y..you wouldn't ——"

But before she could say anything Mo Qiang raised her to her lips and gave her a long, wet, slobbering kiss causing Little Jiao to almost faint but before she fainted she heard Mo Qiang say, " If you faint I will kiss you again."

Xiao Jiao : "...." Devil! She had chosen a devil!

Kill them



-------------

Just as Mo Qiang raised her again, Xiao Jiao stretched out her hands and placed them in front of her as she hurriedly said, " I will tell you, I will tell you. There is not much you can do but you can threaten them with the fact that they came here without bringing a signed warrant from the office of debts and taxes, they are actually nothing but greedy sh*tholes. This is not the time for compensation submission and they are not here to take the money either, they only came here because that Wei woman asked them to come and embarrass your mother."

The current General Wei was not only a sly and cunning woman she was a sadist who liked to stomp on Mo Yan who was better than her in all aspects and suppressed her for a very wrong time, which was why General Wei wanted to disgust Mo Yan as much as she could and these officials who were low in ranks could only follow her orders.

" Then why is my mother not saying anything to them?" Mo Qiang was stunned when she realised that Mo Yan despite being a renowned General was allowing herself to be bullied like this when she knew that these people who were in front of her were in the wrong.

Xiao Jiao wiped the saliva off her face and muttered an 'eww' Only then did she reply, " Because she does not have money, she has pushed paying a lot of compensation because your predecessor made a lot of mess and these people have allowed her to do so but in return, they started to humiliate her and Mo Yan has no other choice but to wrong Mo Xifeng and her husband for your predecessor's sake."

She paused and then added, " Mo Yan could have left Mo Qiang alone and allowed the bar members to break her limbs but she saved her daughter each time causing her to stretch not just coins but also the single dime that she has in her pocket. An empty pocket cannot support her pride which is why she could only lower her head in front of these women who record her humiliation and brings it to show it to that General Wei."

Mo Qiang understood what kind of sadistic enemy her new mother had which was she truly sympathised with Mo Yan. Seeing that the woman was humiliating her family like they were their in-laws and had every right to say such unpleasant words, Mo Qiang walked over and tapped Mo Xifeng on the shoulder.

Mo Xifeng's face was burning with shame when her background was questioned and her father who cheated on her mother was brought up, but when she felt someone tap on her shoulder, she was startled and turned around in a hurry upon seeing Mo Qiang who was smiling at her, she did not know what to say, all she could do was to purse her lips like a bullied little kid and look at her elder sister.

" Little Xifeng come behind me," Mo Qiang was shorter and much more curvier when compared to Mo Xifeng who was slender and tall but despite the differences between the two of them Mo Xifeng still shuffled behind her sister while Mo Qiang stood in front of her sister and smiled at the women who were making snarking comments, " Little Xifeng cannot say anything but I can right?"

When Su Wen and her friend saw that Mo Qiang was looking at them with a smile which was free of her usual drunken daze they were surprised but they still did not take her seriously as Su Wen snorted and said, " Of course you can but what are you going to say—-"

" Article 314 section 5 A, according to the article it says that an exiled person only needs to pay a part of compensation each month and that too at the end which further states that the official who is responsible for collecting the compensation need to have a warrant, so..." with a smile Mo Qiang dragged her last vowel and then said, " Where is your warrant? Don't tell me, you just came here empty-handed?"

When Su Wen and her accomplice heard the words of Mo Qiang, their faces flushed as Su Wen snapped at Mo Qiang, " What do you know just how many times your mother has pushed the deadline of paying the compensation——"

" Account." Mo Qiang interrupted Su Wen causing the latter to be startled as she asked, " Sorry?"

" I said what is the account number?" Mo Qiang asked as she waved her monitor. " I will send a part of the compensation which we had not paid so hurry up and tell me your account number.."

Su Wen thought that Mo Qiang was only bluffing since a woman like her can never get such a large sum of money but when her monitor dinged she was surprised to see that Mo Qiang and really paid the three months of compensation!

Her eyes popped out of her sockets but Su Wen still composed her expression and then said with a snicker, " What did you do, Mo Qiang? Don't tell me you finally started to pimp your husbands?"

Mo Qiang smiled as she strode forward and then leaned down closer to Su Wen who leaned back in return as she looked at Mo Qiang in a worried manner and stammered, " You...what are you doing?" She thought that Mo Qiang was going to hit her.

" I am doing what someone should have done long ago," as her monitor dinged with the receipt of payment which she had made just now along with a part of interest waived off from the compensation which they needed to pay, Mo Qiang snatched the earring which Su Wen was wearing and cracked it with her spiritual strength revealing a pinhole camera inside which was so small that it looked like a bead.

As she looked at the small camera which was much more exquisite and complicated when compared to the ones which she saw in her world, Mo Qiang asked in a misty voice, " Little Xifeng, shooting someone without their permission along with selling the information of someone else privacy to others, what is the punishment for that ?"

Mo Xifeng who knew that Mo Qiang was helping her immediately summoned her sword which appeared out of thin air and replied, " Its penalty is paid by execution on the spot because privacy is the basic and foremost right of the Imperial Star."

"I see," Mo Qiang nodded her head as she looked at the two women and smiled like a villainous woman who got a thrill upon seeing blood and murder. " Since they dared to record and humiliate us along with selling our data to others." She paused as the smile vanished from her lips, Mo Qiang added, "Kill them."

" Right away, sister!"
