C83 (1/2)
Lin Mo slept all the way into the afternoon. After seeing the time on her watch, the fool quickly tidied herself up before hurrying back to the hospital.
However, when she opened the door to the ward, the first thing she saw was Mama Li.
”Mother Li, why are you here?”
”It was the old man who called me to say that he wanted me to bring a plate of Red Braised Meat for Second Young Master. I just came over.”
As Mama Li spoke, she took out a strawberry that had just been washed and placed on the tea table. Then, she placed it next to Lin Mo's mouth. With no hesitation, she swallowed the strawberry in one gulp.
After she finished eating, she pouted and praised, ”Mom Li, you're still the culprit. The strawberries you pick are big and sweet. They're really delicious.”
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Li Ma's eyes curved into a smile. This Second Young Madam was really attractive, her small mouth was as sweet as honey, and she would never look down on a servant like Eldest Young Mistress.
”Second Young Madam, you really know how to talk. Alright, eat as much as you want. I've bought quite a lot, enough for you to eat.”
”Hee hee.”
Two dimples appeared on his face as he laughed. He pinched a strawberry and threw it into his mouth. It was delicious.
Seeing the satisfied look on the fool's face, Cang Qing couldn't help but to let out a smile. As Lin Mo raised her head, she saw Cang Qing sitting on the bed, staring at him with a smile. Cang Qing's heart instantly skipped a beat. Even if he was sick, the way he laughed had blinded her titanium dog eyes.
As the two red clouds climbed onto the fool's face, Lin Mo unnaturally tilted her head away for a moment, before lightly coughing and said: ”Erm, Cang Qing, after I went home, I overslept and couldn't prepare any food for you, but it's still okay, the Old Master has instructed Mother Li.”
When he first came in, Cang Qing's unnatural expression showed that after they had left, the father and son duo must have had an unpleasant time. Thinking of this, the duo continued to say: ”Cang Qing, it's good to see your old look, until you like to eat Red Braised Meat, then you specifically called Mother Li to add it to the list at home. I'll bring it back for you, unlike me, I clearly promised to bring it for you, but then you overslept, otherwise, you will really have a stomach.”
”Cang Qing, look, the old man is thinking too much about you!”
What kind of person is Cang Qing? The moment Lin Mo's eyes started to wander, he knew what this little wife was up to, but the conflict between him and the old man was already not something that could be resolved in a day or two, nor was it something that could be settled with a plate of Red Braised Meat. Thus, Cang Qing did not answer him; he did not want to discuss matters between him and the old man with anyone, even if it was his own wife.
After waiting for a while, the fool realized that Cang Qing did not have any intention of answering her, so he continued to speak: ”Cang Qing, you did say something, is what I said wrong? The old gramps treats you so well, you're just a young man, why do you have to get mad at him … ”
”Enough, I don't want to hear these things from you.”
When Lin Mo heard Cang Qing's words, which were filled with anger, his heart was in a mess. This was still his own father, how could he be like an enemy!
”What kind of attitude is this? Don't tell me I was wrong. The old man is already over 70 years old, how many more years do you think he'll live? If you tell him that you're going to suffer a little loss, what can you do about it?”
”I said I don't want to hear it.”
When she said that, Cang Qing's eyes were wide opened, his hawk-like eyes stared straight at Lin Mo, as though she was treating her own enemy. Since when did he treat her like this, and scared her so much that she immediately retreated two steps, and when she saw him staring at her like that, the anger in her heart instantly rose.
”Second Young Mistress, I need to go out and buy some things. Accompany me there, I don't know where there is a supermarket near this hospital.”
After hearing Mother Li's words, Lin Mo looked deeply at Cang Qing, who was secretly throwing a tantrum, and coldly snorted before taking the lead to walk out. Mother Li secretly sighed in her heart, and then said to Cang Qing, ”Second Young Master, Lin Mo is doing this for your own good. The words you said just now are too harsh, it hurts her heart.”
In fact, he had just been angry at Lin Mo, and immediately regretted what he had said. He also knew that she had done it out of good intentions, but it had been a misunderstanding since he was young, and the moment he heard Lin Mo say these things, he could not control the anger in his heart. The old man was a wound in his heart, a wound that had been accumulated over a long period of time, and now, no one could touch him.
Every time he returned home, it was as if he'd completed a mission. If he and the old tutor didn't have any official business to speak of, he wouldn't stay in the old tutor's mansion. When he saw the old tutor's face, he'd be like an irritable lion, easily losing control of his emotions.
Actually, everyone in the circle could tell who the next Patriarch of the Cang family was with a glance, and the old man liked them even more. However, even someone as astute as Cang Qing couldn't think of a way to deal with this matter, and could only stubbornly die because he felt that the old man didn't like him since he was young, which was why he couldn't see his hard work and sweat.
