Chapter 160 Little Tuo, Let's Try to Get Along

When the Wang brothers saw Mo Xiaotuo come downstairs and stand up, Wang Fujun spoke first: "Xiaotuo, Fugui's curse has been lifted, but what will we do if he doesn't eat or drink for a day?"

Mo Xiaotuo thought it was something serious, but upon hearing this, he sat down and said calmly, "Use your Wang family's old methods, beat him when he needs to be beaten. If you can't put an end to his thoughts, he might still be targeted by someone with ulterior motives."

Wang Fujun understood what Xiao Tuo meant: Fugui's problem wasn't physical, but psychological, which was indeed a rather troublesome matter.

“I remember you said before that there was another way to make him forget those feelings,” Wang Fujia said.

“Yes, there is, but this prescription hasn’t been used for many years, and I don’t know if it will really work. Even if it does, those herbs are hard to find. If you insist on finding them, then I’ll write the prescription down for you.” After Mo Xiaotuo finished speaking, she asked Zhang Ma to bring her paper and pen.

She quickly wrote down a prescription on the paper with vigorous strokes and beautiful handwriting.

"Great, these characters are beautifully written." Wang Fujun said with admiration when he saw the characters.

"You flatter me," Mo Xiaotuo said casually.

After thanking them with the prescription, Wang Fujun's two brothers left.

Seeing that the little wildcat looked a bit tired, Luo Chen walked behind her and massaged her shoulders.

It's a shame Mr. Luo isn't a massage therapist; his massage techniques are truly amazing. However, she was quite hungry, so she stood up from the sofa.

"What's wrong? Didn't you hit hard enough?" Luo Chen joked.

"I'm hungry!" Mo Xiaotuo smacked her lips. For someone like her who prioritizes eating and can't live without meat, missing a meal would really make her starve.

Zhang Ma had prepared dinner long ago, just waiting for the two of them to speak. Now that she heard that the Third Young Mistress was hungry, she quickly had the food served.

Luo Chen knew that Xiao Tuo liked to eat shrimp, so he told Zhang Ma to buy large shrimp and crabs before he left.

Seeing the table full of shrimp and crab, Mo Xiaotuo was in a great mood: "Aunt Zhang, you're so kind! I've been wanting to eat all this!"

"That's what I thought of. The Third Young Master asked me to buy it when I went out at noon," Zhang Ma said with a smile.

Mo Xiaotuo didn't believe Zhang Ma's words; she wasn't just trying to get points with Mr. Luo. But as long as there was food, she was fine, so she sat down and picked up her chopsticks.

Seeing that the little wildcat was really hungry, Luo Chen sat down and started peeling shrimp for her.

Mo Xiaotuo accepted everything offered, and in the end, Mr. Luo peeled the food and stuffed it into her mouth. Zhang Ma knew that she liked spicy food, and she thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Seeing the smile on the Third Young Master's face, Zhang Ma secretly took a picture of the scene and sent it to the Old Lady.

Mo Xiaotuo finished off a plate of shrimp in one go, then started eating boiled beef. With her mouth full of oil, she noticed that Mr. Luo was just staring at her blankly. Feeling a little uncomfortable, she said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you going to bother Aunt Zhang to make you a midnight snack if you're not full later?"

Um!

Luo Chen smiled slightly, watching her eat made him feel quite hungry. He took off his gloves, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat elegantly.

Seeing how slowly he ate, Mo Xiaotuo muttered to herself as she ate, "It's a good thing you were born into a rich family. If you were born into a poor family, you would probably have starved to death long ago at this speed."

Luo Chen listened without saying a word. Let her say whatever she wants as long as she's happy.

Aunt Zhang felt sorry for the Third Young Master. He had suffered a lot when he was young. He must be saddened by what the Third Young Mistress said.

After dinner, Mo Xiaotuo returned to her room to check on the Chen family's recent activities. She had just turned on her computer when there was a knock on the door.

She knew without a doubt it was Mr. Luo, and reluctantly opened the door.

Luo Chen handed the little wildcat a USB drive: "Take a look and see if there's any information you need on it?"

Mo Xiaotuo thought that this person was so kind, so she took the USB drive and went to the computer.

After Luo Chen entered, he closed the door, then walked behind the little wildcat and stood there with his hand on the chair.

Mo Xiaotuo opened the USB drive and saw information about that project, including detailed information about her maternal grandparents and several other participants.

She hadn't had time to look up these details yet, which saved her a lot of trouble. She turned around to talk to Mr. Luo, but instead fell headfirst into his arms.

"So you're that impatient?" Luo Chen grinned mischievously.

Mo Xiaotuo pushed Luo Chen away, got up and walked to the window. Looking at the lights outside, she thought about the days she spent with her grandmother and the others in the village, and felt a little sad.

"Missing Grandma?" Luo Chen hugged her from behind and rested his head on her shoulder.

"My senior brother said that Grandma might be alright, but we don't know why she did this?" Mo Xiaotuo blurted out the truth without realizing it.

However, it's good to say it out loud. With Mr. Luo's help, we might be able to find Grandma faster.

“I’ve also had my doubts, that Grandma isn’t dead, but to confirm it’s true, we need to go to the old house. For such a huge fire to leave the old house, there must be another way out,” Luo Chen raised a question.

That's right!

If Grandma wanted to escape from the fire, it means there was a secret passage in the courtyard to leave.

Mo Xiaotuo carefully recalled the bits and pieces of her time living with her grandmother and remembered the well in the yard.

That well has been sitting for many years; perhaps there's a secret passage at the bottom. She frowned and murmured, "There have always been people watching the courtyard. If we go to find that secret passage, it would be equivalent to revealing that Grandma is still alive. Since Grandma doesn't want anyone to know that she's still alive, let's put this line of inquiry aside for now."

“Those informants are easy to deal with. If you want to know, just leave it to me.” Luo Chen felt that this matter needed to be investigated further, and that he would definitely have to unravel one mystery after another.

Mo Xiaotuo knew Luo Chen had the ability, but doing so would still alert the enemy. In the end, he shook his head and said, "Not for now. It's not a good time to alert them. Let's wait. I'll let you know if I need to."

"Xiao Tuo, let's try to get along?" Luo Chen turned her around.

"Come back to discuss this with me when you can truly let go of Feng Mingzhu. I can't tolerate any imperfections in my judgment." Mo Xiaotuo pushed Mr. Luo aside, yawned wearily, and went to open the door.

This time, Luo Chen didn't do anything, because there were some things he couldn't promise yet, and he also needed time to deal with the troubles at hand.

Clang!

After closing the door, Mo Xiaotuo locked the door and the window from the inside before lying down on the bed to sleep.

At midnight, amidst thunder and lightning, she was awakened by a nightmare. After getting up, she felt breathless and went to the side to open the window.

Looking around, she saw a person under the big tree outside the door. The person seemed to have seen her but did not leave immediately.
