"Little Mo."
"Hmm?"
"I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to dinner with you tonight as promised," Rong Mochen said softly.
"It’s okay, there will be plenty of chances to eat together in the future," Jin Jumo replied.
"Heh..." Rong Mochen chuckled, "Mm."
"Stop talking to and focus on driving," Jin Jumo said.
"Alright."
Putting away her phone, Jin Jumo stood on the balcony for a while before heading to the dining room.
Seeing Gu Yan and the two little ones already seated properly at the table, looking ready to eat.
Even though soone couldn’t make it back, Jin Jumo still felt happy, and she ruffled Xixi and Hanhan’s little heads, "We can eat now."
"Oh yeah!"
As soon as Jin Jumo spoke, Xixi eagerly reached out with a chubby hand to grab a chicken leg and started gnawing on it happily.
Hanhan also focused on the plate of braised fish and started eating.
Gu Yan licked his lips but hesitated and looked at Jin Jumo, "Little Mo Mo, may I start eating?"
Jin Jumo laughed at Gu Yan, "Go ahead and eat."
Only then did Gu Yan pick up his chopsticks, and without caring for his image in front of Jin Jumo, he started eating ravenously while mumbling, "Little Mo Mo, your cooking is amazing, really delicious, kudos!"
Jin Jumo sat down, "I didn’t know how to cook at all at first. It was only after having Xixi and Hanhan that I started to learn how to cook."
Gu Yan paused his chopsticks, looked at Jin Jumo, and suddenly blurted out, "Little Mo Mo, these past few years must have been tough for you?"
Jin Jumo was taken aback, looked at Gu Yan, and with a light smile, casually said, "Not too bad."
"..." Gu Yan stared at the dishes on the table for a long ti without moving, lost in thought.
Jin Jumo looked at him in confusion, "Gu Yan, why aren’t you eating?"
Gu Yan frowned, glanced at Jin Jumo, and then resud eating voraciously.
Jin Jumo blinked in bewildernt, not dwelling on it.
At the Rong Mansion, the atmosphere was tense.
Rong Zhengfeng sat with a stern face on the main sofa, holding the head of his cane with both hands, his sharp eyes fixed on Rong Mochen, who sat on the opposite sofa in a dark blue suit.
Li Li stood behind Rong Zhengfeng, also watching Rong Mochen, looking anxious.
Rong Mochen lounged lazily against the sofa back, his dark eyes lowered, his expression indifferent.
When the clock on the wall struck nine, Rong Mochen slightly furrowed his brows, raised his dark eyes, and calmly looked at Rong Zhengfeng, "Grandfather, you’re not really asking to just sit here with you tonight, are you?"
Rong Zhengfeng snorted, "What’s wrong with sitting here with this old man for a while?"
Rong Mochen said nothing.
Rong Zhengfeng tightened his grip on the cane, staring at Rong Mochen, "You canceled the engagent with the Gu family girl just as you wanted. Happy now?"
"Not bad," Rong Mochen said.
"..." Rong Zhengfeng’s face trembled with anger, but he tried his best to control it, gritting his teeth, "Do you know that because of your cancellation, soone nearly got killed?"
Rong Mochen’s expression didn’t change, "Grandfather is referring to Ms. Liang Yi attempting suicide?"
"You say it so lightly. An attempt on a whim? Would soone just decide to end it for no reason?" Rong Zhengfeng’s voice couldn’t help but rise.
Rong Mochen raised an eyebrow, "Why she did it is her business, what’s it got to do with ? Her life or death isn’t for to decide."
"Rong Mochen, has your heart been eaten by a dog?" Rong Zhengfeng suddenly shouted in anger.
"..."
Rong Mochen’s lips twitched slightly, calmly watching Rong Zhengfeng’s flushed face, his eyes downcast, "Grandfather, calm down..."
But Rong Mochen’s words only fueled Rong Zhengfeng’s rage further, as he pointed his cane at him, "Stop being sarcastic! Calm down? I would like to calm down, but do you ever consider the things you do? It would be strange if I could stay calm!"
Rong Mochen remained silent.
Rong Zhengfeng was furious at his silence, feeling like he couldn’t even get a word out!
He threw down the cane abruptly, closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and when he opened them again, he seed much calr. Looking at Rong Mochen, he asked, "Do you have soone you’re fond of?"
Rong Mochen’s dark eyes flickered, and an innocent, delicate face appeared in his mind, his lips curling slightly.
Seeing this, Rong Zhengfeng squinted, "You have soone?"
"Mm." Rong Mochen didn’t deny it, readily admitting.
Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes lit up, forgetting his anger, and excitedly asked, "Whose daughter is she?"
Rong Mochen looked at Rong Zhengfeng’s expectant face, the curve of his lips deepening, "When the ti is right, I’ll bring her to et you."
"No need, no need to et. Just tell whose daughter she is, and this grandfather can go see for myself." Rong Zhengfeng replied eagerly.
"If you go see her, you might scare her."
Rong Mochen said calmly.
Rong Zhengfeng instantly beca displeased, "What do you an by that? Do I look that frightening?"
Rong Mochen pressed his lips together, remaining silent.
"Hey, what’s up with you? You won’t tell who she is, are you deliberately trying to keep in suspense?" Rong Zhengfeng glared, feeling anxious.
"You will find out," Rong Mochen said.
Rong Zhengfeng felt like there was a cat living in his heart, constantly scratching at it, making him uncomfortable with itchiness.
Licking his lips, Rong Zhengfeng said stubbornly, "Then can I guarantee not to scare her?"
Rong Mochen answered him with silence: No, you can’t!
Rong Zhengfeng suddenly beca disheartened, looked at Rong Mochen’s eyes sorrowfully, feeling quite aggrieved.
The smile in Rong Mochen’s dark eyes deepened, yet he suddenly let out a soft sigh.
Rong Zhengfeng was slightly startled, looking at him with a bit of suspicion.
"Tonight she planned to have dinner with , but unfortunately..." Rong Mochen frowned, not continuing.
Rong Zhengfeng blinked, suddenly stood up from the sofa, rushed to Rong Mochen, grabbed his arm and threw him outward, "Go, hurry up!"
"Grandpa..."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you lose my granddaughter-in-law, I won’t forgive you!"
Rong Mochen hesitated slightly, looking at Rong Zhengfeng’s eager face urging him to leave, "Then... I’ll go?"
"Go, go, go, quick!" Rong Zhengfeng urged.
Rong Mochen raised his eyebrows lightly, stood up slowly.
"Hurry up!" Rong Zhengfeng glared.
Rong Mochen curled his lips, picked up his coat, and walked out.
Rong Zhengfeng watched Rong Mochen’s tall, straight back, feeling delighted, but his eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
Li Li shook his head, walked to Rong Zhengfeng’s side, "Sir, now you can finally put down the big rock on your heart."
Rong Zhengfeng touched his eyes, "Isn’t that right? I’ve watched him live through these years. He’s not happy, not content."
"It’s better now, the Second Young Master finally found soone he likes, things will only get better," Li Li comforted.
Rong Zhengfeng sighed, looking at Li Li, "But in my heart, I always felt guilty towards that girl."
Li Li was slightly stunned, "Are you talking about Miss Gu Lingyi?"
Rong Zhengfeng shook his head, grasped Li Li’s arm, "It’s Momo."
"Miss Jin?" Li Li was surprised.
Rong Zhengfeng glanced at Li Li, "Does it feel very strange?"
Li Li said nothing, but his expression explained everything.
Rong Zhengfeng leaned on his arm, walking slowly towards the door, "Four years ago, Jingyi ca to with that recording and USB stick. At the ti, just watching the video made incredibly angry. Back then, I really despised Momo extrely.
So when Old Jin passed away, I didn’t show up, nor did I give Momo any comfort. I even tacitly agreed to Jingyi driving her out of Mochen’s family. You tell , she was just a young girl, pregnant with a big belly, if she were really driven out by us on purpose, what should she have done?
Later, Momo had a car accident and was gone. Mo Chen has never been happy since Momo’s passing. Being rational, I should be glad a woman like her is gone, as she can no longer confuse or entangle Mo Chen.
Yet over these years, watching Mo Chen never being happy, my heart just couldn’t let go. Sotis I recall the scene when she first ca here to et . Whenever I rember, it seems like she’s not that kind of person..."
At this point, Rong Zhengfeng let out a long sigh.
Li Li stood beside Rong Zhengfeng, opened his mouth to say sothing but ended up not saying anything.
Rong Mochen ca out of Rong Mansion, just sat in the driver’s seat, when he heard the continuous notification sound of ssages from WeChat coming from the hidden compartnt.
Rong Mochen squinted slightly, took the phone, and opened WeChat.
A string of ssages imdiately unfolded before his eyes.
Xiao Nanqing: "Boss Rong, I couldn’t hold back from saying, it turns out that in Jin Xiaonu’s eyes, you’re not even as good as Gu Yan, how pitiful!" @LonelyCigarette
Lei Yicheng, "Sympathetic." @LonelyCigarette
Huo Chengjin, "Am I the only one who thinks Gu Yan might not survive tonight? But really, bro, you’re pitiful!" @LonelyCigarette
Huo Shaojun, "..." @LonelyCigarette
Huo Chengjin, "Upstairs, what’s the point of trying so hard to be profound, does sending symbols make you amazing?" Then followed by several lines of ellipses. Xiao Nanqing, "Boss Rong, although you haven’t surpassed Gu Yan, you haven’t surpassed anyone else either, so isn’t it okay?" @LonelyCigarette.
Huo Chengjin, "Absurdly tragic!" @LonelyCigarette
Lei Yicheng, "Life is hard enough without trying!" @LonelyCigarette
Huo Shaojun, "..."
Huo Chengjin, "..." Again few lines of ellipses.
"..."
The group continued with the lively discussion, virtually every ssage was directed @Rong Mochen.
Rong Mochen furrowed his brows in confusion, was about to ask when Gu Yan’s call ca through.
Rong Mochen pressed his lips lightly and picked it up.
"Boss Rong, let tell you, have you checked the WeChat group?" Gu Yan asked hurriedly.
"...You were a step late," Rong Mochen replied.
Gu Yan paused, imdiately understanding, "Boss Rong, they’re just stirring up trouble, afraid the world won’t be in chaos, their purpose is to cause a rift between us, don’t fall for it.
Boss Rong, I’m telling you, Little Mo Mo just prepared a splendid dinner for , absolutely no intentions from her side, Little Mo Mo and I are purely innocent, Boss Rong, you have to trust ..."
Before Gu Yan finished speaking, Rong Mochen hung up the phone, threw the mobile into the hidden compartnt, his slender hands gripping the steering wheel, suddenly made a sharp turn, furrowed his long brows, and sped towards the apartnt.
