Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Are You Senile?
“What?” Mo Shishi’s face turned ghostly pale as she stared at Old Mr. Mo in disbelief. “Grandpa, are you planning to put under house arrest?”
Old Mr. Mo didn’t even look at her. With a cold voice, he said, “Since you insist that the child is Jinghan’s, then you should wait until the child is older for a paternity test. If the child truly is Jinghan’s, I will do everything in my power to help you marry into their family. If not, you’ll marry the child’s biological father instead!”
Mo Shishi’s heart sank instantly. She was scared, utterly terrified.
“What if… what if the child dies before then?” Mo Shishi blurted out in panic.
Old Mr. Mo cast a chilling glance at her. “It can still be tested. Lu Zi’an has ways!”
That one sentence thoroughly shattered Mo Shishi’s final line of defense. She grabbed onto Old Mr. Mo’s sleeve with desperate fear for survival and cried out, “Grandpa, I was wrong! I… I really don’t know who the father is. But I can swear it’s not Jinghan’s! Please, don’t confine , I’m begging you!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wan Chuni, who had been standing nearby, turned ashen-faced.
That’s it. Her daughter had failed to hold out, and now they were dood!
“Qiu Ying, Tingshen, did you hear that clearly? Shishi’s child has nothing to do with Jinghan!” Old Mr. Mo turned to the Xiao Family couple.
The husband and wife struggled to find the words to describe how they were feeling at that mont.
“Ah!” Old Mr. Mo let out a long sigh. “I always thought that a girl like Shishi, raised in a family like ours, wouldn’t behave so recklessly. Clearly, I was wrong. A woman’s character has nothing to do with her family’s position. Human nature is inherently good!”
His words were intentionally directed at Qiu Ying and Xiao Tingshen.
Earlier, Lu Zi’an had brought up that Ye Weiwei might be the one person who could genuinely help Xiao Jinghan. After living for so many years, Old Mr. Mo was no longer as easily swayed as he had been in his youth.
He truly believed that character was far more important than family status. And so, at this mont, he decided to do sothing a bit bold and take the lead in giving them a nudge.
As expected, Old Mr. Mo’s words stirred up quite a storm in Qiu Ying and Xiao Tingshen’s hearts.
But it did not change their perception of Ye Weiwei.
What they truly cared about wasn’t Ye Weiwei’s family background, but the fact that she’d been to prison—and had even given birth while serving her ti.
…
At a seaside villa.
As night fell, Ye Weiwei, the little girl, and Xiao Lingyun sat together by a bonfire, chatting and laughing.
“Weiwei, have you officially signed up? This year, I can sponsor you. Just give a kiss, and I’ll grease the wheels for you in the competition,” Xiao Lingyun teased, leaning in playfully.
Ye Weiwei smiled helplessly. “No need. I promised them I’d make my way through on my own.”
“Hahaha, that’s right, you can totally do it! But speaking of which…” Xiao Lingyun’s mind flashed to Lin i’s face.
Lin i had told her just yesterday that she was planning to get involved in the Princess of Sheng Country competition. So… why not let Lin i be Ye Weiwei’s agent?
No need to let an opportunity go to waste—why not keep it within the family?
“Weiwei, hang on for a mont. Let make a call.” Xiao Lingyun pulled out her phone, found Lin i’s number, and made the call while sprawling on the sand.
Lin i had just finished an intense course on the must-know skills for a talent agent. She was in the mood to cuss, drink, and eat a at feast. But when she saw Xiao Lingyun’s number light up, her eyes brightened.
“What’s up, Yun? How many things do you have lined up for now?” Lin i drawled dramatically.
“Serious talk first, cousin. Are you really planning to be an agent for the Princess of Sheng Country beauty pageant?” Xiao Lingyun asked.
Lin i blinked and leaned against a wall, a cigarette dangling from her lips. “Are you getting senile? Didn’t I just tell you yesterday? And now you’ve already forgotten?”
