Jiang Yi rolled his eyes at his parents. They were really siding with outsiders. Not only did they not help him, but they also praised Xiao Moran. It made him furious.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'm taking Moxi home now. My family has prepared a meal to calm her nerves." Xiao Moran glanced at his watch.
"By the way, my sister-in-law cooked today. Do you want to come over for dinner?" Mo Xi thought to himself, "My brother bought a new house, a detached house at that. Let these people see it."
Previously, she had visited the Jiang family and seen their house, as well as the Jiang family's sense of superiority.
Right now, she wasn't trying to show off any superiority; she just wanted to make Jiang Yi feel inferior to her brother.
Xiao Moran wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Jiang's father readily agreed. "That's great! I have some good wine in my car. I'll find that old geezer Su Ming and have a couple of drinks with him later."
Jiang's mother was also overjoyed. "Okay, it's a housewarming celebration for your family to buy a new house. Xiao Nuan is like a daughter to me, so we really have to go have this meal. Old Jiang, what are we waiting for? Let's go first and buy some more things."
"Don't buy anything," Xiao Moran said, reaching out to stop Jiang's parents from leaving. "Let's go together!"
“How can this be?” Jiang’s mother was a person who cared a lot about appearances. “It’s not like we’re just visiting someone, it’s like we’re moving to a new house, we have to buy something.”
"Didn't you buy these?" Mo Xi pointed to the nutritional supplements that Jiang's father had brought, so he wasn't empty-handed. "When we move to a new house in the countryside, we usually give rice and flour as gifts. These are much more expensive than rice and flour."
"Is it common to give rice and noodles as gifts where you live?" Jiang's mother asked happily.
“Yes, when we move into a new house, relatives and friends always bring rice and flour as gifts. These things are essential for celebrating the start of the new house celebration.” Mo Xi was afraid that Jiang Yi would influence them to not go.
Jiang Yi wore a sour face, clearly not wanting to make a fool of himself.
Mo Xi sneered inwardly, "You, Jiang Yi, let me show you my brother's skills and see if you still dare to shamelessly try to steal my sister-in-law."
“Perfect timing! There’s rice, oil, and flour on the truck. Let’s take it to your house first.” Jiang’s mother clapped her hands. “Then we’ll follow the customs of your hometown. Let’s go and congratulate you on your housewarming. We’ve come to the right place today.”
Jiang Yi looked utterly bored, and he lingered behind, hoping to slip away unnoticed.
But Xiao Moxi wouldn't let him off the hook, turning back to greet him warmly. "Jiang Yi, hurry up and catch up!"
When she shouted, everyone turned to look at him.
"Kid, hurry up and keep up," Jiang's father scolded him, turning around. "You'll need to help us carry things later."
"Dad, I want to go back to school. You guys go ahead, I won't go." He didn't want to be so friendly to someone who didn't appreciate his kindness. He had long seen through Mo Xi's little schemes. He had never seen her so enthusiastic towards him before. Wasn't she just trying to show off how capable Xiao Moran was?
Hmph, what's so great about him? His franchise store is about to open, and even if he's still a student, he can still make money.
Jiang's mother turned around and grabbed his arm. "You've been skipping school for so many days, don't you care about today? Go back to school tomorrow."
"Mom, I need to catch up on the lessons I missed these past few days."
"Aren't you a top student? What are you afraid of?" Jiang's mother slapped him. "The teacher said you rarely listen attentively in class, but you still get perfect scores in every subject, don't you?"
Jiang's mother spoke with a sense of pride.
Women are always more sensitive than men, and she sensed it too. Mo Xi wanted Xiao Moran to overshadow her son. After realizing this, she also revealed that her son was a top student.
Xiao Moran had a sudden inspiration and seized the opportunity to say, "That's right, Lan Yin was able to get into university thanks to Jiang Yi tutoring her. Our Mo Xi is also preparing for the exam. Jiang Yi, if you have time, could you tutor our Mo Xi?"
"A joke?" Jiang Yi's lips curled up. "You want me to tutor this fierce girl?"
"I'll pay whatever tutoring fee you want."
"Don't think you're so great just because you have a few stinking bucks. I won't do that."
“Jiang Yi, you’re not allowed to say that,” Jiang’s mother scolded him. “Mo Xi is your benefactor. Last time, if she hadn’t tipped us off, you would have been harmed by that wicked woman Lan Yin. You should teach Mo Xi a lesson for that.”
"That's right, you can't be ungrateful," Jiang's father scolded. "You should help Moxi with her studies. If she gets into university, it will be a great deed, a thousand times better than you helping that bad woman Lanyin. Moxi is a girl, and she can contribute to society after she studies hard."
Xiao Moran was secretly delighted. If he could get Moxi to keep Jiang Yi occupied, he wouldn't have so much time to go to the store and bother Xiao Nuan.
“Sure, I can tutor her, but I have to eat Xiao Nuan’s cooking every day. If I meet that condition, then I’ll go to her house to tutor her.” Jiang Yi said to Xiao Moran with a sinister look.
"Why should I?" Moxi retorted. "Do you really think you're a teacher? Do you expect us to treat you like royalty? To be honest, I don't even want you to tutor me. I don't trust people with questionable character. You got involved with Lanyin after just one tutoring session. A man with such an unstable stance, yet you keep saying you love my sister-in-law. Where did your love go back then?"
"You..." Jiang Yi was so angry that he couldn't speak. This fierce girl was always picking at his old wounds.
Seeing their son's expression, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang exchanged a smile. They realized that this girl could make their proud son submit. There was nothing they could do; their son was too handsome and had excellent grades. Usually, a group of girls surrounded their son. But this fierce girl was their son's nemesis.
Jiang's mother liked Moxi from the first time she met her. She thought Moxi was genuine, unpretentious, and sincere. She was the perfect daughter-in-law in her mind.
"You brat, don't be ungrateful!" Jiang's father scolded him. "I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself, so cherish it. If it weren't for you, would Moxi have suffered this? What do you want to eat? Just have your mother cook it. We'll have Moxi come to our house every day for tutoring."
"That works too. I'll have Xiao Nuan cook the dishes and then have Mo Xi deliver them to your house." Xiao Moran thought to himself that Xiao Nuan's apprentices were all quite skilled, so he could just find someone to cook a few dishes and send them to Jiang Yi.
"You said it, I don't want the tutoring fee, I just want to eat Xiaonuan's cooking every day." Jiang Yi finally agreed.
Jiang's mother said meaningfully, "Kid, as long as you help Moxi get into university, you'll be in for a treat. You can eat Xiaonuan's cooking every day, or even for the rest of your life."
Apart from Jiang's father, no one thought much of it and simply assumed that Jiang Yi was just coaxing Mo Xi into tutoring him.
After the matter was settled, Xiao Moran finally felt relieved.
After this incident, he dared not let Murthy return to the countryside alone again.
Moxi is now terrified of anyone with the surname Xu. Her previous blind date was named Xu Honglin, who was arrested for murder. This time, the perverted killer is named Xu Zhilin. This psychological trauma has taken root.
