Chapter 3: Mo Xun Wants to Test His Delicate Wife

Tang Zhiluo doesn't know Mo Xun's true identity, not realizing that he is the second son of the top billionaire Motian Group, and simply thinks he is a senior executive of a large corporation.

Mo Xun married her as a test, to see if he was still capable of falling in love with someone.

He deliberately chose this small apartment at Xinghe Bank, barely over a 100 square meters, as a test of Tang Zhiluo's sincerity.

He didn't want to marry a woman who would be nice to him just for money.

Mo Xun has plenty of money, but he's no fool, and he thought it through when he married Tang Zhiluo.

If he liked her, he'd reveal his true identity to her, if not, he'd gift her the apartment and then get a divorce, each returning to their respective tracks in life.

He had looked up Tang Zhiluo's background when they got married.

23 years old.

Graduated from South City University.

Currently working for her brother-in-law, Liang Yuanze's company.

From a very poor family background, with older brothers and sisters; she's the youngest, and never spends more than 200 yuan on clothing.

Mo Xun thought, since it's a test, let her maintain her original standard of living to avoid dragging her into a world of luxury from which it might be hard to return.

Better to let her be true to herself, and live as she always did.

So Mo Xun provided her a living stipend of $10,000 a month, based on the cost of living in South City.

Old Mrs. Mo learned that Mo Xun only gave Tang Zhiluo a monthly living expense of $10,000, and smacked him, "Even if it's a test, there's no need to treat her so harshly, right? One bottle of your wine costs more than $10,000, and yet you only give her $10,000 a month to live on. Are you still human?"

"..." Why paint him as some kind of brute?

The amount he's giving her is the going rate, okay?

Mo Xun didn't hit back, took a few punches from the old lady without much fuss, and said indifferently, "If you already know, then don't interfere and go back early with Mrs. Gui."

"I can't come and see you? You never bring your wife to see me!" Old Mrs. Mo felt wronged.

"Didn't I say? I'm testing her, she doesn't know who I am, how can I bring her back to the estate to see you?"

"Then can I join you in testing your wife?" Old Mrs. Mo's playful side was coming through.

Better to finish the test quickly, and have them produce a chubby great-grandchild!

Mo Xun, expressionless, "No need, don't come next time."

He had decided to divorce Tang Zhiluo. She had someone she liked, keeping that shirt all the while; he didn't want to continue with her.

However, they had to wait for a one-month cooling-off period for the divorce.

Moreover, he was about to assume the position of new CEO at Motian Group, and the news would be everywhere; surely Tang Zhiluo would see it.

His identity wouldn't be hidden for much longer.

After they finished talking in the room, Mo Xun went to wash up.

There were clothes for him here, but no towel or toothbrush.

"Tang Zhiluo, is there a towel and toothbrush here?" Mo Xun walked to the living room.

Tang Zhiluo was sitting on the sofa, Old Mrs. Mo was stuffing a bank card into her hand, "My dear granddaughter-in-law, here's a card for you, from grandma; take it!"

"No need, Grandma, I can't accept this!" Tang Zhiluo was embarrassed to accept and the two struggled back and forth.

"..." Mo Xun watched expressionlessly.

Clearly, she loved money in her heart, yet she's pretending here that she doesn't want it, how ridiculous!

Tang Zhiluo was too embarrassed to accept. Old Mrs. Mo had silvery hair and clearly looked over 80 years old, how could she dare to take her card?

Luckily, Mo Xun's interjection saved her, and Tang Zhiluo quickly pushed the old lady's card back and responded, "I have the toothbrush, I'll get it for you!"

She went into the bedroom.

Mo Xun and Old Mrs. Mo faced off in the living room.

"How much money is in the card?" Mo Xun asked with a cold face.

"Not much, just 10 million!" Old Mrs. Mo deliberately chose a card with a smaller amount, it wasn't some top-level Black Card!

"That's too much, no." Mo Xun spoke with a tone that brooked no argument, "At most, give her a hundred thousand."

Old Mrs. Mo disagreed, "What's wrong with giving my granddaughter-in-law some money to spend? You're stingy, but don't prevent me from being generous, right?"

"If you want to give it to her, I won't stop you, but don't give too much." Mo Xun's thought was, they were going to get a divorce soon, by that time, he would give her the apartment, and she should strive for the rest on her own.

The apartment at Xinghe Bank in the city center was worth over 10 million, enough to make up for everything.

Besides, he never touched her, so she's still chaste.

"I don't care, I want to give it to Zhiluo!"

Old Mrs. Mo stubbornly went to the room to find Tang Zhiluo with the card.

Tang Zhiluo found a toothbrush in the bedroom, having bought a pack last time with three inside.

Tang Zhiluo picked out a blue one, stood up to take it out for Mo Xun.

Old Mrs. Mo rushed over, shoving the card into her hand, pressing down on her fingers to prevent her from refusing, "Zhiluo, this is grandma's wedding gift to you, keep it!"

"I really don't need it!" Tang Zhiluo, who was homeless, was already grateful that Mo Xun had taken her in, she didn't want anything else.

Moreover, Mo Xun gave her $10,000 every month, and since he didn't come back, she was able to save up to $8,000 out of it.

After three months, she'd saved up $25,000, plus her own earnings, totaling $70,000!

"If you don't take it, it's like you're looking down on our family!" Old Mrs. Mo played her trump card.

Tang Zhiluo was troubled.

Mo Xun came in from outside, his deep eyes inquisitively examining her.

For some reason, Tang Zhiluo felt that Mo Xun's gaze was somewhat aggressive, as if he was scrutinizing her.

She immediately felt the card burning in her hand.

Did he think she loved money?

A small sense of loss in her heart, she handed over the toothbrush, "Mo Xun, here's the toothbrush."

Mo Xun glanced at the toothbrush.

A cheap toothbrush, he didn't even want to use it, but it was all he had for now, so he lowered himself to accept it and went into the bathroom after unwrapping it.

Old Mrs. Mo was going back, she had errands to run.

Tang Zhiluo walked her to the elevator.

Old Mrs. Mo said, "Zhiluo, grandma is going shopping, I'll come see you again tomorrow, if you have to work, better ask for the morning off."

"Why should I take the morning off?" Tang Zhiluo was a bit confused, still holding the old lady's card – what was the old lady planning?

Old Mrs. Mo said with a smile, "Just ask for the morning off if I tell you to!"

The old lady was going to buy jewelry for Tang Zhiluo!

Tang Zhiluo nodded, "Okay."

After Old Mrs. Mo left, Tang Zhiluo went to find Mo Xun with the card, "Mo Xun, Grandma insisted on giving me this card, you take it, I don't need it."

After washing up, Mo Xun used a white handkerchief to leisurely dry his fingers, then looked over towards her.

Fearing that Mo Xun would misunderstand her, Tang Zhiluo put the card down and started to leave.

"Tang Zhiluo." Mo Xun called out to her.
