Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Her father had told her about it long ago and she wanted them to have a taste of being lied to.
“I hope you won’t lie to . If I find out that you lied to , I’ll kill you.”
Lan Yaxin warned.
She knew it was risky to cooperate with soone she wasn’t familiar with. But she was anxious to win, so she could only take a gamble.
“You’ll know when the ti cos. It will be at the Xiangyun Hotel’s private room, Room 301, in two days. You can be a waiter or whatever you want, it’s up to you.”
Qin Xue smiled and left.
Lan Yaxin could vaguely feel that her chance had co. She couldn’t et Mo Jinrong officially, so she had to think of a way to avoid his gaze.
….
The Mo Family.
Mo San had already gotten soone to guard outside Old Mrs. Mo’s house and monitor everything.
There was a banquet in the villa. Although she was warned that MO Shengli was dangerous, Old Mrs. MO still prepared a rich table of food, which was his favourite food when he was young.
She looked at the dishes in front of her and felt her heart ache. She hadn’t eaten any of these since MO Shengli left.
The banquet was placed in front of the opera house. For MO Shengli, she deliberately lowered the stage, which beca only one level higher than the dining table.
“Old Mrs. MO, Young Master is here.”
Nanny Wu spoke respectfully.
“Is Anran here yet?”
Old Mrs. MO was concerned.
“Young Madam isn’t here yet, she’ll probably be here soon. After all, her father is still in the hospital.”
Old Mrs. MO nodded at Nanny Wur s words.
“Nanny Wu, what show should we prepare for Shengli? It’s been so many years, I wonder if he will like the show.”
The mont Old Mrs. MO finished speaking, MO Jinrong walked over.
“Grandma! Why isn’t Uncle here yet?”
It was already afternoon, but MO Jinrong hadn’t seen him yet.
“I don’t know, he didn’t call either. Is he not coming?” Old Mrs. MO asked anxiously, tightly holding onto MO Jinrong’s hand.
At this mont, the young housekeeper hurried in.
“Old Mrs. MO, Young Master, there is a strange person outside, he is wearing a hat and black clothes. He is standing at the door and hasn’t co in even after a long
ti.”
Old Mrs. MO wondered if it was MO Shengli. “Hurry, invite him in!” she said agitatedly.
“Mom! I’m here.”
A voice sounded from behind the crowd. Old Mrs. MO’s pupils dilated and she stared at the crowd, at a loss.
The crowd started to disperse and out ca a man in black and wearing a hat. He walked over with his head down and a crutch.
Old Mrs. MO’s vision blurred and she couldn’t seem to see anyone.
“You are?”
“Mom, don’t you rember ? I can’t believe I disappeared for more than ten years. You’ve beco older.”
The man gradually got closer to Old Mrs. MO and slowly raised his head. He stared at her with a pair of deep eyes, but his face was full of stories and was full of vicissitudes.
A rectangular face paired with a pair of thick eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and so wrinkles on his skin which were the marks of his years of life.
Old Mrs. MO’s eyes gradually blurred. She stretched out an old and wrinkled hand to touch MO Shengli’s face. Even though she hadn’t seen him in years, she could recognize him at a glance.
“Where have you been all these years? Why didn’t you co back?”
Old Mrs. MO choked.
She eyed MO Shengli up and down. He seed to have beco cool-headed and his limp attracted her attention. “What happened to your leg?”
Old Mrs. MO asked with concern. His leg seed to be seriously injured and she looked at the walking stick beside him. It was made of gold-wire Chinese cedar and had an eagle’s beak carved into it.
“It’s all in the past.”
MO Shengli brushed it off. He clearly didn’t want to talk about what happened back then.
He turned to look at MO Jinrong, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“You’re already so big?”
He patted his shoulder symbolically, seemingly without much emotion.
MO Jinrong couldn’t believe it when he saw his uncle standing in front of him. His past mories instantly flooded his mind.
His feelings for his uncle were mixed with suspicions.
“Hurry and sit down. Look, these are your favorite dishes. It’s been so many years and I still rember. Where have you been? Why haven’t you co back? We thought you were dead. The tombstone has been erected for you for so many years.”
Old Mrs. MO couldn’t wait any longer and took his hand to sit at the dining table.
MO Shengli smiled and didn’t say anything.
“It’s been so many years, but you still rember. It’s been hard on you.”
He smiled and looked at MO Jinrong.
“I heard that Jinrong has a wife. Why haven’t I seen her today?”
MO Jinrong imdiately beca vigilant.
He was the one who called Lan Anran to steal the docunts, but he pretended not to know.
“Anran’s father is sick and she is accompanying her father in the hospital. She might be coming over later...”
MO Jinrong spoke coldly.
“Uncle! Can you tell where you were all these years? Why are you only back now?”
MO Shengli was silent for a mont before he continued.
“It’s all in the past. The storm changed my life. After I was blown off the ship, I thought I was going to die, but unexpectedly, when I woke up, I had miraculously floated to an island and I didn’t die.
But at so point, my leg hit a reef and the sharp reef severed the tendons in my leg, which is why my leg is like this.
Back then, the island didn’t have any communication equipnt or even electricity. It was a fishing village and the villagers saved . I lived on the island
for a few years and even went out to sea to catch fish with them. It wasn’t until the voyage was over that I ca to the land.
To be honest, I had amnesia at that ti and couldn’t rember who I was or where my house was. Later, I t a foreigner and he asked to go abroad with him. So I lived abroad for many years until a few months ago, I was in a car accident. In that car accident, I instantly rembered everything about who I am and that was why I ca back to find you. I didn’t expect Jinrong to have beco a big child,” MO Shengli said.
He seed nonchalant about the past.
MO Jinrong found a few flaws and was just about to ask a question, when Old Mrs. MO started to cry again.
“Shengli, I thought you were dead all these years. We couldn’t salvage your body back then. It’s good that you’re back. Why don’t you have a taste and see if it’s the sa as the last ti?”
Old Mrs. MO picked up a piece of beef and placed it in front of MO Shengli.
MO Shengli looked, but didn’t move his chopsticks. He smiled.
“Mom! I am tired of eating fish since I lived on the island. I’m disgusted by fish now. The beef looks good, but my tastes have changed over the years. The storm left so aftereffects. I can’t eat beef and mutton.”
Old Mrs. MO was a little disappointed, but she soon smiled..
