THE MOUNTAIN'S LAKE

As Yue Ling stepped out of the cab, she was immediately struck by the breathtaking entrance of Mountain's Lake. The pillars were adorned with vibrant colors, creating a stunning visual effect. The entrance was designed with two separate roads, one for incoming and outgoing vehicles, beautifully lined with flowers that added a touch of elegance. Two security officers stood guard on either side of the entrance, their presence exuding a sense of safety and security.

To the left of the entrance, a cozy cottage-style building caught her eye, with a bold sign that read "Security Guards Office" emblazoned on the door. The entire scene exuded a sense of serenity and tranquility, a stark contrast to the chaos she had just left behind at the airport. Yue Ling felt a sense of relief wash over her as she gazed upon the peaceful surroundings, grateful to have escaped the clutches of Mo Shira

Yue Ling approached the security guards office with confidence, despite her simple attire and modest transportation. "Excuse me, I'm the owner of Resident Number 8. I'd like to enter."

The guards exchanged skeptical glances, accustomed to wealthy individuals arriving in luxury vehicles, not cabs. "Ma'am, we need to verify your identity. Please show us your ID card and house documents," one of them requested, their tone firm but polite.

Yue Ling promptly produced the required documents, her eyes locked on the guards as they scrutinized the papers. After a moment, they nodded in unison, seemingly impressed by her calm demeanor. "Sorry for the inconvenience, ma'am. You're clear to enter."

As she walked through the gates, Yue Ling smiled to herself, accustomed to being underestimated due to her humble appearance. She appreciated the guards' diligence, recognizing that they were simply doing their job. Her composure and lack of pretension had earned their respect, a small victory in a world where appearances often ruled.

bodyguard; that madam is really nice and simple,

bodyguard 2: she really is nice, unlike some people here, thank Goodness we now have a female owner here.

Yue Ling strolled through the exclusive Mountain's Lake community, taking in the breathtaking scenery and admiring the opulent residences. As she approached her own home, she was struck by its sleek and modern design, a stark contrast to the more traditional and masculine aesthetics of the other residences.

The glossy white flooring and walls gleamed in the light, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room offered a stunning panorama of Imperial City. The mid-century modern couches and tub chair were arranged in a stylish L-shape, surrounded by a luxurious white fur carpet. A large marble coffee table and a 50" smart TV on a sleek TV stand completed the sophisticated look.

The kitchen was a masterpiece of minimalist design, with white cabinets, silver pulls, and a white marble wall island separating it from the living room. The only pops of color came from the silver appliances, adding a touch of glamour to the space. Across from the kitchen, the dining room featured a black dining table and four white Parsons chairs, creating a chic and elegant atmosphere.

Yue Ling couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy as she explored her new home, marveling at the attention to detail and the exquisite taste that had gone into its design. This was truly a haven, a place where she could escape the chaos of the world and indulge in the beauty and luxury that surrounded her.

she couldn't help but praise her parents for everything, she knew this was her mother choice of colour for her

Yue Ling ascended the white stairs, her footsteps quiet on the plush carpet. She pushed open the door to the master bedroom, and her eyes widened in delight. The room was a serene oasis, with a harmonious blend of white, black, and silver hues. The floor was covered in a soft, white carpet, inviting her to walk barefoot.

In the sun-drenched corner, a beautiful black swing beckoned, perfect for lounging with a book and basking in the warmth. The centerpiece of the room was a stunning white sofa, arranged in two semi-circles, with an antique teapot on the center table. The glass walls allowed natural light to flood the space, and the spacious circular stairs led down to the ground floor, where books were neatly arranged.

But as she explored further, Yue Ling realized that this wasn't the main bedroom. It seemed to be a cozy semi-living room, designed for relaxation and leisure. Her eyes landed on a subtle white door with a black handle, almost invisible against the wall. She approached the door, curious about what lay beyond...

Yue Ling's eyes widened as she entered the bedroom, her gaze drawn to the imposing king-size bed with its crisp white sheets and black blanket. Her attention then shifted to the wardrobe, where her clothes hung, but she noticed they were no longer her size. A quick check of her phone confirmed she had a few million yuan in her account, enough to treat herself to a shopping spree and restock her pantry.

As she rummaged through the wardrobe, her hand brushed against a black suitcase, containing documents about the Mo Corporation and the Mo Family. Her heart raced as she realized the significance of these papers. She needed to study them thoroughly and conduct research on the current state of the Mo Corporation before making her move.

With a newfound sense of purpose, Yue Ling decided to dedicate the next day to learning as much as she could about the Mo Corporation and its inner workings. She would go shopping and prepare herself for the challenges ahead, but for now, she had a lot of reading to do. The documents in the suitcase would be her priority, and she was determined to uncover the secrets they held.

Yue Ling's eyes scanned the Mo family documents, her gaze stopping at the list of family members. She saw the names :

Grandfather: Mo Shen,

Mother: Mo Zhao Lifei,

and the three children: Mo Shira, Mo Jihnu, and Mo Lin. Her heart raced as she realized she had the phone numbers of each family member.

With a deep breath, she dialed Grandfather Mo Shen's number. When he answered, she introduced herself, her voice trembling slightly. "Hello, Grandfather Mo Shen. It's Yue Ling, the daughter of Yue Ming. I've just received information that I'm supposed to work at the Mo company as a secretary."

Mo Shen's warm voice filled the line. "Ah, Yue Ming's daughter! I haven't heard from your father in a long time. I thought you wouldn't need the Mo company's offer, but I kept the position open for you, as promised. How come you're only getting this information now? Where is your father?"

Yue Ling hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "It's a long story, Grandfather. I'm already in Country M now."

Mo Shen's tone turned gentle. "Come see me tomorrow, and we'll discuss everything. I'll make arrangements. Be here by 5 pm."

Yue Ling's heart swelled with gratitude. "Thank you, Grandfather. I'll be there."

As she hung up the phone, she felt a sense of relief wash over her. She had taken the first step towards her new life, and Grandfather Mo Shen's kindness gave her hope for a brighter future.

she went Straight to the bathroom, the bathroom is very spacious, it is two times the size of the room the Yue family gave her to stay, it has a very big bath tub and a shower.

she took a quickly lay on the bath tub and closed her eyes, memories of what transpired today at the airport started coming into her head, as she wore a big smile on her face,

" that man surely does deserve the lesson I thought him, he is just so rude, but Yue Ling you're so stupid, the very first day you came to another country, you decided to make trouble hmm"

she smile widely before washing off the soap off her skin.

she then put on a bathrobe and went straight to the kitchen, she bought some Packet noodles from the shop closed to the airport, she prepared it, ate her meal, and head straight to her room to start studying the Mo company's documents,

she went through them, studied them and made a lot of research about the recent happenings of the Enterprise, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Mo Shira's eyes narrowed as he answered his phone, his mind still lingering on the mysterious woman from earlier. "Yes, Mother?"

"Shira, you need to come home tomorrow evening by 5 pm. We have a guest," his mother, Zhao Lifei, said firmly.

Mo Shira sighed, rubbing his temples. "Mother, I'm busy tomorrow. I can't make it."

He knew what was coming. His mother was always trying to set him up with women, thinking he needed a wife to settle down. But the truth was, Mo Shira had given up on relationships. He had been burned too many times by gold-diggers, and the thought of love seemed like a myth to him. His philosophy was simple: sleep with them, pay them off, and move on.

"Shira, you can't keep avoiding this. You need to find a good woman and settle down," his mother chimed in, unaware of her son's jaded views on love.

Mo Shira rolled his eyes, his mind drifting back to the enigmatic woman with the captivating blue eyes and pouting lips. Who was she, and why couldn't he get her out of his head?

Zhao lifei: see my son it is not about me setting you with any one I promise,

Mo Shira: mother you always say so bye I can't come

bin bin.

he hung up the phone, before his mother could say any thing.

Hu Wuting hesitated, "Ah... boss, I tried to gather information about the girl, but... but everything about her is blocked. I couldn't find any trace of her identity or background. Immediately he said that the temperature of the office dropped....

" He gulped, hoping Mo Shira wouldn't be too displeased.

Just then, his phone vibrated, and he quickly read the message. His expression changed from anxiety to relief. "Thank goodness," he sighed, "it's from my source. They managed to dig up some information about her."

Mo Shira's eyes narrowed, "Let me see it."

Hu Wuting handed over the phone, and Mo Shira's eyes scanned the message. His expression darkened

" not even... a ... single information... about her from her birth...

The only significant information there is that this is her first time of coming to country M, and she is currently staying at Mountain's lake, resident number 8.

Mo Shira kept quiet for some moment as if thinking about something,

quickly he remembers that he also has a resident in Mountain's lake and in fact his is resident number 6".

then he stood up and took few steps to the office window, as if something in the window caught his interest

Mo Shira: go make arrangement for my stay in Mountain's lake, I will move in there very soon.

" you think you are smart that I wouldn't find you, I will surely make you pay, for embarrassing me like that in that airport, I will see to it that you regret ever crossing part with me".

Hu wuting: yes boss

" boss doesn't like staying in Mountain's lake, but all of a sudden he wants to stay there, this will be really interesting to watch."

he bowed his head before living.

Mo Shira: let's see how you will escape my wrath woman.
