C75 (1/2)
After dinner, they finally took their leave.
After seeing them off, he held her in his arms and said in a grateful voice, ”Xinxin, thank you for your promise. I know I'll be troubling you today! ”
She smiled and shook her head, ”I didn't do anything! I think what I did was right. ”
”Thank you! ”You really are my most beloved wife!” All the tenderness he felt in his heart was transformed into one deep kiss after another.
She closed her eyes happily, intoxicated by the sweet love he had given her.
It was really spring. It was a perfect midnight snack!
”Ring ring ring …” A loud ringing woke the sweet couple on the big chuang.
The woman opened her eyes and was about to flip over and sit up when the man held her back and gently said, ”You can continue to sleep. I'll go pick it up.”
”Oh …” Xia Xinxin agreed without reluctance as she had to wake him up even if she answered. 100% of the calls here were for him, and it had nothing to do with her at all. Thus, she continued to sleep peacefully with her eyes closed.
Mo Zixiao picked up his cellphone and walked out of the bedroom, entering the study and closing the door. He then called out in a low voice, ”Grandpa.”
”Where are you?!” On the other end of the line was Mo Feigu, who was already seventy-five years old but still had a voice like a large bell. ”Hurry and get the hell back here!”
His tone was filled with raging flames. Even if he wasn't in front of him, Mo Zixiao could easily guess that at this very moment, Mo Guoxuan was so angry that his face turned red, and the veins on his forehead were popping out. It was completely exposed.
Mo Zixiao remembered the last time he lost his temper, when he held the girl named Ye and begged him to help her. Now that there was such a big commotion, it seemed like something big was happening in his family.
”Grandfather, why are you so angry this early in the morning?” If you don't have a good body, then take your time and talk about this matter! ” Mo Zixiao frowned, feeling helpless.
”I can't explain it to you over the phone! No matter which woman's bed you are in right now, hurry home within half an hour! ” Before Mo Zixiao could respond, he hung up the phone with a ”pa” sound.
Mo Zixiao was speechless, but he knew that for the old man to be able to cause such a ruckus after so many years, it must be something important.
No matter what, he had to go back and ask around, then think of a way to make the old tutor calm down.
He hurriedly returned to the bedroom, opened the closet to take out some clothes and put them on. He then went into the bathroom to wash up before hurriedly walking out.
Xia Xinxin asked with her eyes half open, ”Where are you going?”
”Something has happened at home, I need to hurry back and take care of it. You should sleep well!” he said hastily.
”Are you alright?” Startled, she rolled to her feet.
”I don't know.” The Old Master is not willing to speak on the phone. ” He hurried forward and kissed her on the forehead. ”Don't worry, nothing will happen. You wait for me at home. ”
”Good!” ”Hurry up and go!” She was a bit worried and worried that the old tutor knew that she had been hidden here by him.
If it was really because of her, would the old man agree to marry her, a woman who was just a lowly slave in everyone's eyes?
But she didn't want to put pressure on him, so she only smiled at him.
As soon as Mo Zixiao entered the house, he clearly felt that the atmosphere wasn't right. All of his subordinates and his uncles and brothers saw him greeting them with reverence, just like before. However, he clearly saw something strange in their eyes, some of it was sadness, some of it was disdain, and some of it was gloating.
He keenly felt that something important must have happened that was closely related to him, and this big thing was enough to shake his position as the head of the Mo family.
Had she been discovered?
However, he had never told anyone that he wanted to marry her, which was not a big deal, as everyone knew that he, Mo Zixiao, had always been a good man. A wave flowing. A rogue.
No matter how he thought about it, it probably had nothing to do with Xia Xinxin.
With that in mind, it didn't matter anymore. As long as it didn't have anything to do with Xia Xinxin's safety, everything else could be resolved easily.
He immediately strode inside without any hesitation.
The courtyard of the Mo family was exactly like the courtyard of a Chinese citizen. As for the Mo family's mansion, it was made of wood and bricks. Pushing open the red lacquered gate, one could see priceless antiques everywhere, and these antiques were merely the utensils commonly used by the Mo family.
At the center, there was a mahogany armchair. On top of the chair was a piece of tiger skin, and its posture was very realistic, as if it was a king among beasts that was ready to pounce at any moment.
At this moment, every chair was already filled with people. They were all elders who had been eyeing him covetously but had great prestige in the Mo family. Of course, the one sitting in the middle was the previous generation head of the Mo family, the Old Master of the Mo family — Mo Guxuan.
This battle formation looked as though it was about to be tried in public.
He frowned as he ran through everything that had happened recently at lightning speed. He concluded that everything he had done was reasonable and beneficial to the development of the Mo family.
Although he was honest, he couldn't feel at ease now that he had concerns and scruples.
When he came in, everyone greeted him with the same half-smile as before.
