A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
"Miss?" Aunt Hong, who had finished cooking the last dish, watched Yan Mo pick up a bowl of food, put it down, pick it up again, and put it down again, puzzled.
"Yeah." Yan Mo reacted, put down the food in his hand, took a deep breath, and said to Aunt Hong with a forced smile: "Aunt Hong, I'm fine."
Although Aunt Hong didn't know what had happened, she knew that the father and son must be the one who could make the eldest lady so angry. Whoever encountered such relatives who always wanted to take advantage of others would be in trouble.
Aunt Hong knew the true colors of the father and son better than Yan Mo. Every time they called and used the old man as an excuse to ask for money and property, she saw it all. However, the host was too soft-hearted.
She patted Yan Mo's shoulder sympathetically and comforted him: "That's good, Miss. Just be patient and wait until your awful uncle leaves."
"Yeah." Yan Mo said no more and followed Aunt Hong to bring the dishes into the restaurant one by one. Yan Yang and his son also entered the restaurant by then.
When Yan Mo saw the clothes his uncle was wearing, his eyes stung. He didn't want to stay with them for another second, so he immediately left the restaurant and went outside to get some fresh air.
"Momo, it's time for dinner." Father Yanming's voice came from behind.
Yan Mo turned around and went back to the house, ignoring his father Yan Ming the whole time.
"Alas..." Yan Ming pinched his brows, feeling very tired. It is said that personality can be inherited, so he believed it. Since he gave the clothes to his brother, the two mother and daughter are exactly the same and ignored him.
Yue'er locked himself in the room and refused to come out no matter how much he was coaxed. His daughter was outside, but she didn't even look at him, making it clear that she felt she had no status in the family.
He was not in the right about the clothes and couldn't say anything. It was obvious that he felt very aggrieved.
"Cousin, you're here. Please sit down." Yan Huode, who was sitting in the restaurant, saw Yan Mo walk in, stood up pretentiously and said.
Yan Mo chose a seat farthest from them and sat down. Yan Ming followed closely behind him and took the main seat. He pointed at the hot dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Eat."
Then he picked up a chicken drumstick for his brother Yan Yang and said, "Xiao Yang, eat more. You are so thin because of hunger."
If Yan Yang didn't mention this, his anger towards his brother would have subsided a lot. But after this was mentioned, his anger came out again and Yan Yang took a big bite of the chicken leg.
After picking up some food for his brother, Yan Ming picked up a piece of chicken wing for his daughter Yan Mo and said flatteringly, "Mo Mo, this is your favorite chicken wing."
"No need." Yan Mo immediately covered the mouth of the bowl, preventing Yan Ming from giving her food, and said, "You guys eat slowly, I'm full."
Seeing his father Yan Ming like this, Yan Mo couldn't eat a single bite of food. He stood up and walked out of the restaurant directly. He came to the door of the master bedroom on the first floor and knocked, but Mu Wanyue inside didn't say a word.
Yan Mo called softly: "Mom,"
After a while, the door was opened and his mother's slightly red eyes came into view. The words Yan Mo wanted to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
"Momo." Mu Wanyue choked up and said, "Your father insisted on giving me the clothes. I had no choice."
Yan Mo appeared at the door at this time. Mu Wanyue guessed that her daughter might be asking about clothes, so she asked him immediately.
"I know, Mom, that's not what I came here to talk about." Yan Mo pondered for a while and turned to look at the restaurant.
Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Mu Wanyue knew it might be something important, so she quickly pulled Yan Mo into the room and locked the door.
Asked: "What's the matter, Momo?"
Yan Mo solemnly emphasized again: "Mom, you must not go to City B recently."
Mu Wanyue asked: "Why?" If reminding someone once means being on high alert, then emphasizing it repeatedly means something must have gone wrong.
"Mom, don't tell Dad about this for now." This cannot be told to her father, but as long as her mother doesn't tell her father, she can tell her.
"good."
"Something big is going to happen at my uncle's house." Yan Mo paused and continued, "Yan Huode went to Macau and lost tens of millions, including all his shops. My uncle may not know about this yet. I guess it was Yan Huode who instigated my uncle to come to my house and make trouble. Now he suddenly wants to invite us to City B. He must have seen that this trick didn't work, so he came up with a new one."
"Where did you hear that?" Mu Wanyue was a little unconvinced.
Yan Mo didn't know how to explain it. When she went to the police station today, Chief Wang gave her a document that contained all the information about her uncle's family, and this paragraph was specially marked.
She didn't know why Director Wang investigated his uncle and showed her the information.
But it is impossible to tell her mother.
"Mom, don't worry about how I know this, as long as you know it's true."
Yan Mo is not a saint. She will not help her relatives in trouble without hesitation. She is a person who repays kindness with kindness and repays evil with evil. If her uncle's family treats her family well, Yan Mo will do her best to help them, but for someone like her uncle, she will not spend a penny, and don't even think about taking a penny from her parents.
What's more, it's a gamble. People who are involved in this word cannot be helped. If you help them, they will be like a dog-skin plaster and you won't be able to get rid of them even if you want to.
If Yan Huode dares to do anything to hurt her family again, Yan Mo doesn't mind stepping on him.
Mu Wanyue narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
"I know, but I really can't tell your father about this. With his personality, he'll probably help others count the money even if he gets sold." Finally, Mu Wanyue came to a conclusion and agreed with her daughter's approach.
Mu Wanyue said in a deep voice:
"See if you can find a way to get your grandparents out."
Although she had never received help from her parents-in-law, they were her husband's biological parents after all, and as a daughter-in-law, Mu Wanyue couldn't bear to ignore them.
Yan was silent. Her grandparents were actually a problem. When the truth came out, they would definitely contact her father. This problem had to be solved.
For a moment, Yan Mo couldn't think of any solution, and the same was true for Mu Wanyue.
After discussing it, the two decided to ignore them for the time being. It was almost the end of the year now, and it would be natural to pick them up during the Chinese New Year.
"Knock, knock, knock." Yan Mo and his mother had basically agreed when there was a knock on the door.
Mu Wanyue stood up and opened the door, and as expected, it was Yan Ming.
"Wife, Xiaoyang and the others are leaving. Let's go out and see them off!" Yan Ming smiled apologetically, glanced at Yan Mo in the room, and said, "Mo Mo is here too. It's just right. Let's go see your uncle and cousin off together."
"Yeah." Yan Mo responded and stood up from the ground.
"Get out of the way," Mu Wanyue glanced at Yan Ming who was standing at the door. Yan Ming quickly stepped aside and let them go out.
When they came to the living room, Yan Mo and Mu Wanyue frowned when they saw two large bags of things next to Yan Yang.
Yan Mo muttered quietly: "Eating and mentioning it, you are really rude."
