Chapter 258: A Taste of mory
Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui with confusion.?Is he really that dumb? Clearly his sister bears a grudge against . She’s not inviting for no reason.
Looking at the card in Xiao Rui’s hand, Mo Li sighed. Even if she rejected Xiao Rui now, she would have to attend the birthday party with the rest of her family.
..
Once Mo Li reached ho, she imdiately sensed the tension in the air. For one, Qiao Qing and Auntie Qiu had not prepared dinner.
“Li Li, you’re ho!” Jiang Yao rushed over like Mo Li was her lifeline. Mo Yi also turned to Mo Li with hope.
“Mother, father, what happened?”?Have they found out about Mo Xiao at the hospital?
“Li Li, there’s sothing I need to ask you. Do you still rember Auntie Zhong who worked for us?” Jiang Yao asked cautiously, afraid that Mo Li might get angry.
“Of course, I do.” Internally Mo Li was shocked.?Has Mo Yun told them about his suspicion and so they’re testing with family trivia?
“An old friend is coming to visit Young Master Quan and while he’s here, he intends to visit an old friend. Turns out that old friend is Auntie Zhong!” Mo Yi explained awkwardly. Back then they had to fire Auntie Zhong because she had accidentally dirtied Mo Li’s doll. To be fair, Mo Li didn’t really care about that doll, she just wanted to vent her anger. To appease the little tyrant, Mo Yi had to let Auntie Zhong go. After Auntie Zhong left, Mo Li soon forgot about her and the Mo Family lost contact with Auntie Zhong as well. They didn’t think that she would have such an importance now.
“So you want to find Quan Yu to persuade that senior to give up the search for Auntie Zhong?” Mo Li still didn’t quite get what they were aiming at.
“Of course not.” Mo Yi’s expression turned even more awkward. “Even though the senior is not a mber of the Quan Family, he is active in the nation’s economy. The Mo Family has to rely on him if we wish to expand our business, especially in terms of transportation.”
Seeing that her husband had not gotten to the point, Jiang Yao couldn’t help it but cut in, “The senior wants to have Auntie Zhong’s 6 famous dishes again. However, we couldn’t find Auntie Zhong. We rely found out that after Auntie Zhong left, she fell seriously ill and had gone back to her hotown to retire.”
Mo Li sighed helplessly. This was yet another problem created by the original Mo Li. “Mother, father, just invite the senior over. I’ll make sure everything will go along just fine.”
Mo Li frowned because she didn’t expect this part of the plot to arrive so fast. According to the original book, Mo Li had run away from ho. She was kidnapped and was sold by a professor’s wife to the countryside to be an old man’s mistress. When she escaped, she ran into Auntie Zhong again. Auntie Zhong recognized Mo Li at first glance. She provided Mo Li with shelter, and food. However, instead of thanking Auntie Zhong, the original Mo Li stole all the valuables at Auntie Zhong’s ho and left in the middle of the night.
Mo Yun looked at Mo Li when she made that promise. Based on his understanding of Mo Li, he had an idea what she was up to.
…
The next day, the senior was invited to the Mo Family ho.
Auntie Zhong was still not found but when dinner ti ca, the table was filled with scrumptious dishes. This was a pleasant surprise for Song Xing. He had been the director of the railway bureau for so many years and had eaten all kinds of delicacies. However, all these years, he still missed that small mountain village and the dishes made by the woman who saved his life.
Song Xing sat at the table. He hadn’t tasted anything but the sll was already hooking up his mory. He could feel his eyes tearing up. “She, she… She is here, right? I wish to et her!”
Mo Yi was flummoxed. He had no idea how to resolve that request, after all, he had not found Auntie Zhong.
While Mo Yi prevaricated, Mo Li suddenly cut in to say, “Sir, why don’t you try the food first?”
Mo Yi and Jiang Yao were worried. Once Song Xin tasted the food, he would realize they were not prepared by Auntie Zhong! The whole charade would fall apart!
Qiao Qing was happy because this was a good chance to damage the Mo Family.
