”Thank you for your kind intentions, Uncle Lin.” It's just that there's no need! Anyway, I don't plan on hiding anything! ” Mo Zixiao smiled indifferently, looking like he didn't care about anything else.
Lin Xi Jie was startled, but didn't say anything more. He nodded his head, backed out, and closed the door for them.
After the door was closed, JASON said worriedly, ”Zi Xiao, I'm afraid the old man is in the midst of a fit of rage right now. There are some things you need to think twice before you act. ”Move it, there's no room for redemption.”
Mo Zixiao nodded, and said in a deep voice, ”I have my own ideas!”
JASON did not say anything else, but was very worried.
It must have been a rough night...
The group hurried back to the manor. Mo Zixiao was in no hurry to leave after placing Xia Xinxin on the bed.
He stood in front of her and stared at her for a while. Seeing that she was frowning and flipping over, he guessed that she must have been drunk and felt uncomfortable.
Sighing, he turned around and went into the bathroom. He grabbed a towel and went out to wipe her face, then changed into a comfortable cotton nightgown and covered her with a thin blanket.
Perhaps it was because she had changed into a nightgown, but her eyebrows relaxed a lot. Her palm-sized face was buried deep in the soft pillow, and from time to time she would rub against it.
Sighing again, he reached out to brush a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear and said softly and firmly, ”Xia Xinxin, I won't let you suffer any more! I definitely won't let you exist in secret! ”
After saying that, he bent over and gave her a deep kiss on her lips. Only then did he reluctantly stand up and slowly turn around to leave the room.
By the time Mo Zixiao arrived at the Mo family residence, it was already one in the morning.
The Mo family was silent, with only dim street lamps and bodyguards passing by occasionally.
Mo Zixiao stopped the car and strode inside.
The study on the first floor was not lit, so he went straight to the second floor.
Upon reaching the second floor, Zhang Xuan saw that the study door was ajar, and a dim light shone through.
He stopped, took a deep breath, and tapped his hand.
”Come in.” From inside came an old, tired voice.
Mo Zixiao pushed the door open and entered. He saw Mo Guxuan sitting in an armchair, deep in thought, his brows furrowed tightly, his expression solemn. His face was still calm, without any signs of anger, but this sort of calm on the surface made people feel very uneasy.
However, because Mo Zixiao was mentally prepared, he was not surprised. He stepped forward and respectfully greeted, ”Grandfather.”
Mo Guxuan abruptly opened his eyes when he heard what Duan Ling Tian said, and a wave of spirit that was overbearing and domineering entered his eyes. The light instantly shot towards Mo Zixiao.
Mo Zixiao was still calm and collected as he continued, ”You called me here so late at night, is there something important you need to say?”
Mo Guxuan didn't say a word, and his pair of ruthless eyes continued to stare fixedly at him with a dark gaze.
After a while, he said lightly: ”Do you know it's so late? Hello! Mo Zixiao! Your wings are finally very hard! Not only can you hide from me and participate in that bullshit Survivor game, you even have the ability to make an old man in his seventies wait for you for three hours! You are vicious! ”I've really grown up!”
His voice was light, without any fluctuations. However, every word that came out of his mouth contained extreme anger.
Mo Zixiao said softly, ”I am only trying my best to be a good man! ”Grandfather, I can say that what I did was right for the Mo family, and the heavens are right for the earth!”
Pah!” With a bang, Mo Guxuan's hand heavily slammed onto the table, and the rage that had been suppressed all this while finally spewed out like a volcanic eruption. ”So you're saying that you're acting in a very reasonable manner? For that woman you bought, not only did you ruin your marriage with ALICE, your most important reputation as a man, but she even risked her life to join that damned game of survival! ”Now, for her sake, do you not even want the Mo family?!
Mo Zixiao said calmly, ”As you know, I have never liked ALICE. At that time, the marriage was only for the sake of the Mo family's interests. In the beginning, it was only a temporary action. I chose that method to annul my marriage with her, just so that we could both avoid harm in a relaxed manner. It was already the best method that I could think of. As for participating in the Survivor's game, yes, I did it for that woman! She loves me and is willing to risk her life to join the game to gain self-satisfaction. 'Cause and equality, she is just a weak girl, yet she can do this much for me. As a man, do I not have the courage and ability to sacrifice my life to protect her? ' Besides, if you see me now, I'll be fine. I'll just stand here and talk to you! As for you, ask me if I don't even want the Mo family. I can tell you with certainty that I will leave the Mo family sooner or later. It can be said that the Mo family is already on the right track. I think you can pick any descendant of the Mo family to do better than me and make you satisfied. So, think about the choice! I can give you half a year to choose a suitable candidate. ”When the time comes, I will give my authority to you!”
Mo Guxuan was angered to the point his entire body trembled, and he was unable to say anything for a long time.
He opened his mouth and struggled for a long time before forcing out a sentence from between his teeth, ”Are you giving me an ultimatum?!”
Mo Zixiao shook his head, ”No! I didn't mean that. I am merely stating to you a fact which you knew very early. I, Mo Zixiao, have never been chosen to be the head of the Mo family. It was only a matter of time before he left. ”If you were unwilling to admit it, then please take this fact seriously now!”
”You … ”Bastard!” Mo Guxuan stood up, picked up an inkstone from the table that belonged to the Jin Dynasty, and threw it directly at him.
Mo Zixiao didn't dodge, and in the end, Yan Tai smashed into his forehead, causing blood to flow out, blurring his vision.
He did not cover the painful wound, nor did he wipe the gurgling liquid from the wound. He slightly bent over and whispered, ”It's getting late. I have to go back and stay with her! You should get some rest as well! ”
