Chapter 1433: Difference In Status

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

For the past 10 years, the Mo family, Gu family, Qiao family and Qin family grasped all the opportunities provided by the growing economy and had frenziedly accumulated wealth.

Although the Mo family’s wealth was now unparalleled, Chu Yue remembered her father telling her that this was only the tip of the iceberg.

Earlier, Mo Beihan told him that real estate would boom, and in a large city like the capital, shops and buildings would definitely become very valuable.

Chu Yi remembered that Mo Beihan had said that he and Gu Qingyao liked investing in such things. So Chu Yi knew that all those big shopping malls and buildings that everyone knew belonged to the Mo family did not even represent the sum of their holdings.

He suspected that the Mo family owned property in the prosperous areas of the capital and even in the larger cities throughout the country.

But they never revealed it.

Especially in earlier years. Mo Beihan secretly had many holdings. Later, when Mo Yang went to Europe to study, he did not believe that Mo Yang was only studying.

The boy was extremely sharp. It would be a waste if he spent all four years studying!

At that time, Mo Beihan main business was in Europe!

In the past, the Chu family had also been a huge financial force. But after all these years of progress, the Mo family had so many talented people that the Chu family just could not keep up.

The gap between her and Mo Yang’s status had grown wider and wider!

When Mo Yang saw that she still did not speak, he turned to look at her. He frowned and asked, “What’s on your mind?”

Chu Yue lowered her head slightly. She pursed her lips as she remembered the speculations of those women in the capital. But in the end, she could not help but ask, “Brother Mo, what have you been doing all these years in Europe? You came back occasionally for the first two years, but for the last two years, you did not come back at all. Were you studying very hard?”

She knew that Mo Yang was very intelligent. Studies were no problem for him. In China, she had been attending university too. With her intelligence, she had already learnt many things beyond her textbooks and had even started her own little business. Mo Yang could not possibly be so busy studying that he did not have time to even come home.

Mo Yang paused. “I was too busy for the last two years. I really did not have time to come back. Did you think I didn’t want to come back?”

Of course, he had not gone to Europe just to study. His father’s business was there. As the crown prince, he had gone there to learn and also to expand the business.

His father was now only overseeing the overall situation. He had handed over practically all the day-to-day management to the younger generation.

Eldest Cousin had joined the military and taken over great-grandfather’s connections. Second Cousin had joined him, but he kept a lower profile and was not as outstanding as Eldest Cousin.

Third Cousin had simply done some odd jobs for the family enterprise. He spent most of his time loafing around and depended on his family to support him.

That was on the surface.

Everyone in the capital knew that Fourth Cousin was a genius. But they did not know that the quiet and unassuming Third Cousin was not at all inferior to the rest.

Now, he was the Mo family’s best-kept secret. His father had kept him hidden.

The Mo children were too outstanding. They must have one or two average people to distract the world.

Over the past two years, he had taken over almost all his father’s businesses in Europe. He had been very busy!

He was so young that the first thing he had to do was to keep a tight rein on all his subordinates. After that, the circumstances over the past two years had grown a little dangerous so he had simply not returned to avoid bringing trouble on his family in China.

But this did not seem very convincing to Chu Yue.

“You… what were you busy with? Studies?”
