Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The Carefree Beauty_1
Mo Shaoyun's face drained of color, looking unbelievingly at the cold and indifferent Mo Heng.
What was Grandpa implying with his words? If she didn't bring Zhang Xian back after a year, there might be a chance that she could return to the Tiannan Group or she could be directly expelled from the Mo family?
Xia Shuyuan and Mo Fan's faces changed drastically as well, but they said nothing. The old man's actions were sowhat domineering, but not heartless.
If Mo Shaoyun didn't bring back Zhang Xian, it didn't necessarily an she would be driven out of the Mo family, compelled relationships don't work after all. If after the year Mo Shaoyun and Zhang Xian still didn't click, she should let them go.
If they got along, a year would be enough ti for Mo Shaoyun to slowly understand Zhang Xian, which would be a joy to everyone. If they absolutely didn't get along, the old man would not force them given he was watching over the situation.
Of course, the premise was that Mo Shaoyun needed to interact with Zhang Xian. If she dared not treat this matter seriously, she would be ruthlessly expelled from the Mo family a year later, no longer a descendant of the Mo family.
"Girl, go ahead! You don't need to thank your grandfather." Mo Heng glanced at Mo Shaoyun and walked out.
After watching Mo Heng, Mo Fan, and Xia Shuyuan leave, Mo Shaoyun sat on the sofa in shock. She had not expected things to develop in this way, forcing her to find Zhang Xian.
Furthermore, what Mo Heng said afterwards left her feeling rather baffled. Under these circumstances, she should be thanking grandpa? It would be a cause for celebration if she wasn't already furious.
"Shaoyun, what do you plan to do?" Xiao Nan also hadn't expected things to turn out this way, she never thought the old man's attitude would be so tough.
"What can I do? I have to go and look for him." Mo Shaoyun rubbed her temples and asked, "Sister Nan, how much money do we have at our disposal? What I an is, my own private property?"
"Not much, about 13 million in total." Xiao Nan responded.
"Only 10 million?" Mo Shaoyun frowned, then commanded, "I'll hand over my work at the office tomorrow, you find out where Zhang Xian is for ."
"You're not thinking of leaving the Mo family, are you?" Xiao Nan was horrified, she felt Mo Shaoyun was considering starting anew.
"How is that possible? My grandpa, dad, mom are all my family, how could I sever ties with them?" Mo Shaoyun shook her head. "But, I indeed have intentions on starting a business of my own."
"Start from scratch?" Xiao Nan furrowed her brow.
"I don't have that much ti, I would need to use my previous savings." Mo Shaoyun gave a bitter smile. "I want to provide Zhang Xian with a suitable identity so he doesn't feel inferior."
"Ah, so you're thinking of setting up a company for Zhang Xian." Xiao Nan finally understood what Mo Shaoyun was planning.
Zhang Xian currently has nothing and Mo Shaoyun is the only heir of the Mo family, it was not about having equal social status, but as Mo Shaoyun's husband, Zhang Xian at least needed to be sowhat extraordinary, right?
"Who asked him to be my man?" Mo Shaoyun sighed, then angrily stated, "I don't even know where that guy is now, but when I find him, I'm going to knock him around."
"Really? He seems pretty tough, can you handle him?" Xiao Nan asked in surprise.
"Hmmph, even if he is slick, he won't get far. In this world, only I can legitimately teach him a lesson." Mo Shaoyun said, gritting her teeth.
"I see, the wife then!" Xiao Nan winked at Mo Shaoyun and asked, "Shaoyun, sothing feels off. You wouldn't happen to have feelings for Zhang Xian, would you?"
"How is that possible? Absolutely not." Mo Shaoyun shook her head and ran upstairs as though she were flying, "I'm going to take a bath."
"Still won't admit it?" Xiao Nan murmured, crossing her arms, "It seems, Shaoyun and Zhang Xian have just t, but sothing seems off about her. She even claims to be Zhang Xian's wife, is this the sa Mo Shaoyun who turns away countless fine suitors and who is known as the most beautiful woman in Yanjing and unattached as a rock? What's so special about Zhang Xian?"
...
At dusk, in a certain street of TianDu City, within Humanity Clinic.
Zhang Xian and Zhu Wen were seated at the table eating dinner, while quietly discussing matters relating to dical knowledge.
However, most of the ti it was Zhang Xian talking while Zhu Wen listened, occasionally looking enlightened. At fascinating parts, Zhu Wen actually showed an astonished expression.
One old man and one young man, this scene seed rather comical, it would have looked normal if their roles were reversed.
"Zhang Xian, I didn't realize your knowledge of dicine was this profound, I am ashad!" Zhu Wen exclaid, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead.
In just the short ti since als arrived, many difficult points he had painstakingly researched got clarified after Zhang Xian's explanation. Even the questions occasionally raised by Zhang Xian were ones he had never heard of, difficult to understand.
"I was just casually discussing it." Zhang Xian laughed and shrugged, shaking his head.
Actually, he didn't possess any knowledge of dicine and has never formally learned it. However, regarding the understanding of the human body, if he said he were second, few on Earth would dare claim they were first.
After all, he was a Cultivator, possessing the miraculous abilities of Inner Sight and Divine Mind.
Without thoroughly understanding his own body, how can he temper and refine his body, in order to break through one physical limit after another to reach a new realm?
"Ding-a-ling-ling..." Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone echoed from the house.
Zhu Wen smiled, stood up and announced, "Excuse , I need to take this call. You continue eating, don't mind . "
Zhang Xian nodded and smiled, continuing to eat.
"Grandpa, I'm ho!"
At that mont, a beautiful silhouette walks in from outside. Upon seeing Zhang Xian, she first froze, then asked in surprise, "Um? Who are you? A beggar?"
"Pft..." Zhang Xian was caught off guard and almost sprayed out his mouthful of food.
Speaking of which, just because he was followed by poverty and had long hair, how did that make him look like a beggar? Were there beggars who look as handso and as charismatic as him?
"Hey, I'm asking you. Why are you in my house? Where's my grandpa?" Zhu Qing glared at Zhang Xian.
"Well, first of all, let
clarify, I'm not a beggar. As to why I'm at your house, you should ask your grandpa. He's inside." Zhang Xian responded sowhat exasperatedly.
"Not a beggar?" After sizing up Zhang Xian, Zhu Qing asserted, "But you look exactly like a beggar to . However, I didn't an to insult, just curious as you're very young. "
"Alright! I'm a beggar, I ca to your house to sponge off you." Zhang Xian replied reluctantly.
"Hmm, Now I indeed look down on you." Zhu Qing stood upright, put her hands on her hips, and declared, "You are able-bodied, why don't you find work? Is it fun to rely on handouts? As a man, you should overco difficulties, not bow down to fate, but strive with your own hands to carve out your own sky. Coming out to beg like this will only make people increasingly look down upon you."
Zhang Xian looked at Zhu Qing in astonishnt, not knowing how to respond.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?" Zhu Qing proudly puffed out her not-so-large chest and looked triumphantly at Zhang Xian.
"It's not that I haven't seen beauties before, but I've never seen a beauty like you, it's my first ti actually." Zhang Xian said, smiling after sizing her up.
Speaking of looks, Zhu Qing was pretty attractive, but her figure was a bit underdeveloped. As regards her personality, he couldn't help chuckling. She seed a bit careless!
"What do you an by 'a beauty like '? What do you an by that?" Zhu Qing demanded discontentedly.
"Nothing much, it's just that you stand out from others, your train of thought (thinking) deviates greatly from the norm. Yup, you are a bit abnormal." Zhang Xian nodded and explained.
