Chapter 197: Ca to et the Family
Mo Qingchen was pulling out of their driveaway when he said this. "I didn't bring my purse. I don't even have my card," he said. Qian ng could also hear that he wasn't sure about her testimony about her younger brother.
"I'll transfer the money. You can pay back in beverages," she chirped.
Mo Qingchen shook his head. "Understood." In his head, he prayed that this little brother wasn't a serpent well concealed in his skin.

When they pulled in front of the Yun family house, Mo Qingchen looked aghast. "You lived here for most of your life?" he asked, sounding appalled.
Qian ng snickered. The building was ornanted and grand. The furniture inside was sowhat similar. "What until you see inside the house," she said.
Mo Qingchen didn't know whether to be horrified or not. "You had no hand in decoration, right?" he whispered.
"Absolutely not. I never considered this my ho. So, I never tried to change anything inside this… thing." She snickered.
He nodded, thankful. Even if she had bad taste, it had turned for the better. So, he wouldn't have complained.
He slid out of the car and jogged to her side to open the door. There was already a guard waiting for us in front of the house. He walked forward when he saw Mo Qingchen, an unknown person, but then sagged with relief when he saw Qian ng being escorted out of the car.
"You're being all gentlemanly," she teased.
"We need to put on a good show to anger them, right?" he said, a smile playing on his lips.
"True," she agreed quickly. She didn't hate this ga one bit.
"Young Miss," the guard said with a bow. He extended his hand for the key to the car.
"No thanks," Qian ng said quickly and brushed past him.
"What was that about?" Mo Qingchen asked. His car was sitting in the driveway. Of course, getting a parking space would have been nicer.
"One ti, they drove my car to the garage and wouldn't bring it out when I wanted to leave." She pressed her lips together in dissatisfaction. "They wanted to trap here so that I had no choice but to et Bai Ye Qing and his family," she grumbled.
Mo Qingchen looked over his shoulder at the guard and glared. The man shriveled up in his spot, confused as to why Young Miss's companion was looking at him like he was about to kill soone.
"Even if they stowed away my car, I would bring you out of here," he promised.
"Oh, saving the damsel in distress!" she said mirthfully. She stopped in front of the door and saw Nanny Yang walking down the hallway to greet her. "Nanny Yang!" she exclaid.
The older woman hobbled forward and bowed. "Young Miss, there is commotion inside. Take care," she whispered. Her eyes flitted towards Mo Qingchen and she restrained her questions.
"Oh, Nanny Yang, this is Mo Qingchen. He's my fiancé," she whispered conspiratorially.
The older woman's eyes widened but she smiled politely. "Good to et you, sir."
Mo Qingchen glanced at Qian ng and saw her easy and affectionate gaze. He knew that this was a person he needed to be respectful of. "Nanny Yang," he greeted.
"Nanny Yang was more of a parent to than anyone else on the planet," Qian ng inford him. "I'm not running around wild because of her."
Mo Qingchen extended his hand towards the woman. He grasped it firmly. "Thank you for taking care of Qian ng all these years."
Even Qian ng was surprised to hear the sincerity in his voice. Nanny Yang stared for a mont before apologizing.
"Sir, I did what was right. Please don't," she said quickly. She politely pulled her hand away. This was a woman who knew her place in the family structure. Miss Yun ca sotis, but she had to live with the rest of the Yun family all year round.
She couldn't be seen so chummy with them. She looked at Yun Qian ng longingly but said nothing.
Mo Qingchen nodded slightly. Qian ng caught the cue and pulled Mo Qingchen inside.
"Expect others," Qian ng told him. "I heard so others when father called. I expect so foreign entities pulling up their sleeves to fight."
Mo Qingchen nodded. "We'll see."
They entered the living room and found her father fuming at the head of the seating arrangent. Jiang Xin was positioned beside him and was patting his knee soothingly.
Qian ng also saw Chen Yue sitting opposite them. Her hands were on her knees and she played with them nervously.
Qian ng cleared her throat and the people in the room turned towards her.
"What are you doing here?" Yun Sui Bo asked. It was obvious whom he ant, but Qian ng pretended not to understand.
"You asked to co," she said innocently.
"Not you! The one beside you!" he exclaid.
"Oh, ca to et the family," she said lightly. Mo Qingchen allowed her to lead the conversation. If she was respectful, he would be too. But if she wanted to tease and show off, he would give her every weapon needed to do it.
"Whose family?" Yun Sui Bo asked dumbly.
"My family. His future in-laws," Qian ng countered. "Haven't you heard the news? It is all over the gossip rags." She smirked.
Yun Sui Bo was deathly silent. "I was wondering why you had the courage to stand up to . It turns out that you got a backer!" he said calmly, but Qian ng could hear the threat in his voice.
"Let's go sit," she said without worry. She tugged Mo Qingchen along with her and sat him down on the sofa. She took the seat beside him, their shoulders against each other. It wasn't overly affectionate, but anyone who looked could see that these two were romantically involved.
"You-you! How can you make such a scene after what you did this morning?" Chen Yue said through her teeth.
