The moment something happened to Zhang Fen, Huo Xuan sent someone to inform Huo Tao and Chen Man. The two of them left Mo Jiu at the Huo residence and rushed to Cloud City.

Once they arrived in Cloud City, she quickly came to the funeral parlor and took the initiative to arrange Zhang Fen’s funeral. Before Chen Man saw Mo Zhu, she had been worried about her. She knew that this child had grown up in a remote mountain village with her grandmother, so Chen Man understood how sad Zhang Fen’s death was for Mo Zhu.

When Mo Zhu heard Chen Man’s words, she shook the woman’s hand. She looked up and said calmly, “Thank you, Auntie, for helping me manage my grandmother’s funeral.”

Chen Man held Mo Zhu’s hand again, unable to say anything to comfort the girl at that instant.

Under the lead of the staff, Mo Zhu changed into a funeral gown. As Zhang Fen’s only granddaughter, she stood in front of her grandmother’s coffin and bowed to everyone who came to pay their respects.

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Half an hour later, Mo Wu rushed in from outside the auditorium. He quickly walked up to Mo Zhu and said in a low voice, “Ms. Mo, someone from the Zhang family has come.”

Mo Zhu glanced at the ajar door coldly and raised her eyebrows. “What Zhang family?”

When Mo Wu heard this, he lowered his head and explained patiently, “The Zhang family, which is ranked first among the major families in Beijing.”

Just as she finished speaking, Mo Zhu stood rooted to the ground for a moment before her pupils suddenly constricted. “Alright, since they are here, I’ll go meet them personally.”

After Mo Zhu said this, she handed the matter in the auditorium to Chen Man. She raised her leg and walked straight to the door. Mo Wu followed behind Mo Zhu worriedly and reminded her with a worried expression, “Ms. Mo, although the Zhang family is ranked first among the big families in Beijing, according to the information the Huo family has gathered, their entire family has always been very low-profile. Now that they have appeared here for no reason, I’m worried that there’s a trap!”

The girl did not stop walking. As she walked, she replied, “We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. There’s no hurry. Let’s see what these demons are here for first.”

On the path outside the funeral parlor, the people from the Zhang family were stopped outside by Huo Xuan’s subordinates.

When a few relatively young children from noble families saw Mo Zhu walk out, they said very politely, “We’re from the Zhang family in Beijing, and we’re also juniors who are related to Grandma Zhang by blood. We rushed over to mourn when we heard that Grandma Zhang had passed away.”

Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and replied coldly, “My grandmother doesn’t welcome people from the Zhang family. Please leave.”

Seeing that the children were being turned away, an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies walked over from afar. Xu Bu walked in front of Mo Zhu and said nicely, “I believe this must be Grandma Zhang’s precious granddaughter, Mo Zhu. Hello, hello. Your Grandma Zhang and I are cousins. You can call me grandpa.”

When Mo Zhu heard this, her lips curled into a smile. She looked straight into the old man’s eyes and said disdainfully, “You? You think you’re worthy?”

“You!” The old man was provoked by Mo Zhu’s disdainful tone. His face immediately turned cold and he raised his hand, wanting to give the little girl who did not know her place a slap.

Unexpectedly, Mo Zhu grabbed his arm firmly the moment he raised it. The girl’s strength was so great that he could not break free then.

Seeing that he was under her control, he fell silent for a moment and stabilized his mood. “Girl, even if you don’t want to see us, you can’t not consider your grandmother, right? No matter what, she has the Zhang family’s legitimate bloodline and is a child of the Zhang family. Blood relations can’t be changed. Although she had betrayed the family in the past, we had still disregarded the past and came to pay our respects to her.. You should be content to welcome us in, and not resort to violence against the Zhang family here.”
