Chapter 554: Not Able To Make The Trip
Li Beinian hesitated.
Seeing how things were, Mu Xichen gently wiped her tears and said, “Let’s go ho first.”
Li Beinian was not in the right state of mind.
eting Grandpa under the situation was not a good choice.
After comforting her, he picked up his cell phone and called the Mo Family Mansion.
Li Beinian glanced at it. It was a landline.
The phone rang twice on the other end and the call was quickly picked up. A middle-aged woman’s voice was heard, “Young Master, are you here?”
Mu Xichen seed to ponder for a mont before he said, “Aunt Tao, I have sothing to attend to today. Please tell my grandpa that we will visit another ti.”
“Errr...” Aunt Tao seed a little troubled.” What’s the matter? The whole family is waiting for you to co back for dinner. You...”
“Sothing happened at work and I have to deal with it.” Mu Xichen held Li Beinian’s hand and lied without changing his expression. “Please help convey the ssage.”
“What’s so important?” A man’s voice took over. “Xichen, you haven’t been back for a long ti. This ti, Big Brother had specially applied for leave from the team just to see Sister-in-law. If you’re not coming, then everyone would have waited in vain.”
Li Beinian felt guilty and started, “I think...”
Mu Xichen covered her mouth and called out, “Second Brother.”
Mo Shengxiao snorted. “You have the audacity. The whole family is waiting for you.Tell – is the company more important than your family?”
“Is it Brother Xichen?” A female voice interrupted. “Need you even ask? How would Brother Xichen choose work over family?”
Obviously he wouldn’t.
Li Beinian pushed his hand away and was about to speak when Mu Xichen stopped her again.
He said, “It’s different this ti. I can’t talk now, I’m busy. I have to go.”
Mo Shengxiao was stunned for a mont before turning around in a daze. He looked at the family mbers gathered there and said, “He hung up? This kid actually hung up on ? Wow!”
Tossing the apple in her hand, Mo Shengge exclaid in surprise, “He’s really not coming back?”
Mo Shengxing, who was reading a military report submission, was shocked too, when he heard this. “What’s so important? How dare he stand us up?”
“Sothing happened at work?” Mo Shengxiao thought about the possibilities as he stroked his chin. “Why do I find that hard to believe? Ah Ye is still in the office. Besides, today is such an important day...”
As he spoke, there was the sound of a cane thumping against the ground.
The young n stood up. They were all handso and tall.
“Grandfather!”
They shouted in unison, their voices rich with the vigor of a long lineage of a prestigious family.
Old Master Mo raised his chin slightly and swept his gaze around the room with an air of authority.
Mo Shengxiao saluted and said in a loud and crisp voice, “Reporting, sothing ca up for Comrade Mo Xichen and he’s not able to make the trip!”
“I heard it.” Old Mr. Mo walked slowly with his cane. Although his voice was cracking with age, it was nevertheless dignified. “I’m afraid it’s not the company.”
The others thought so too.
Swinging her hand that was holding the apple, Mo Shengge said, “Brother Xichen won’t lie. There must be so issues at work.”
“Comrade Mo Shengge, don’t trust him too much.” Mo Shengxing could no longer keep silent. “I reckon that the girl is unwilling to co.”
“How could that be.” Mo Shengxiao scratched her face. “Xichen was quite happily talking about it just a couple of days ago. How could this...”
