Chapter 126 How could Huang Shan like such a heartless man!
"Who are you calling Mom? She's my mom!" Shen Luo protested from the side. "Isn't it a bit early for you to call her that?"
“It’s not early,” Mo Chi cleared his throat, “Rou Rou and I have already registered our marriage.”
Except for Shi Jingman, who didn't react, everyone else was stunned.
There were quite a few exciting things happening today!
Shen Luo was the first to react. She limped over to Mo Chi, grabbed his collar, and said, "You registered for marriage, and you just casually married my sister like that? Have our parents met? Have you given the bride price? What about the wedding?"
Shen Minghui and Shen Yan looked at Mo Chi with the same questioning gaze.
“Xiao Luo, let go of Mo Chi first,” Shi Jingman patted Shen Luo’s arm. “I know they registered their marriage, and I agree to it.”
"Mom..." Shen Luo let go of her hand and said disapprovingly, "How could you let him marry my sister so easily? She's my only sister."
"You haven't met Mo Chi's parents yet. What if they're unreasonable and your sister gets bullied after marrying into the family?"
"Xiao Luo!" Shi Jingman glared at Chen Luo. How could this child speak so recklessly, talking about other people's parents in front of Mo Chi?
"Wife, did you know that Rou Rou and Mo Chi got married?" Shen Minghui's expression was rather unpleasant. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Is this treating him like an outsider? He's raised Chu Rou like his own daughter for over twenty years, and they didn't even consult him about such a big matter.
Seeing that Shen Minghui's expression was not right, Chu Rou immediately explained, "Uncle Shen, I only told my mother after we got the marriage certificate, and I told her not to tell you."
“I’m afraid you’ll cause trouble for Mo Chi. He’s in a difficult situation right now.”
Hearing Chu Rou's explanation, Shen Minghui softened his tone, "What trouble? Is it Qi Lin's fiancée?"
“My family situation is rather complicated,” Mo Chi finally spoke up. “There is a great rift between my brothers, and I’m afraid of implicating Rou Rou, so I have no choice but to keep our marriage a secret for the time being.”
Everyone fell silent.
“But this way, Xiao Rou isn’t really protected,” Shen Yan suddenly said.
Chu Rou understood Shen Yan's meaning: "All of Mo Chi's businesses and funds are in my hands."
Shen Yan raised an eyebrow, then nodded. "That's fine."
"What's the meaning of Qi Hang coming over today?" Shen Minghui asked.
Was he here to warn Chu Rou? It doesn't seem like it; he was quite polite and even brought a lot of gifts.
If their identities hadn't been revealed, they would have all assumed that Qi Hang was Chu Rou's suitor!
Mo Chi felt a tightness in his chest when he heard Qi Hang's name. This shameless guy actually came to Chu Rou's mother's house. If he hadn't come today, the Shen family would probably have been won over by Qi Hang.
Before leaving, they even threw a bomb at him, but it was a Pyrrhic victory for both sides, and Qi Hang didn't gain anything from it.
"Anyway, he didn't have any good intentions, so just be careful around him in the future."
"Since the Qi family and Mo Chi have this kind of relationship, should we return the antique vase that Qi Lin sent last time?" Shen Minghui asked hesitantly.
It's not easy to turn your back on someone after receiving such an expensive gift.
"Do I have to return my limited edition Lego set too? I've already set it all out!" Shen Luo was a little at a loss.
"The pen you gave me is still unopened; I can return it."
After Shen Yan finished speaking, he glanced at Huang Shan.
Huang Shan blinked. "I've used the perfume."
"What antique vase?" Mo Chi asked Chu Rou, who looked completely bewildered.
Chu Rou explained that the gifts were from Qi Lin's last visit, and they were all very valuable; she even returned a diamond necklace.
Mo Chi's face darkened again after hearing this. This Qi Lin had come in advance to make arrangements, and his position was almost squeezed out by the Qi siblings.
"Return the antique vase. I'll buy something else for Uncle Chen. The other things aren't worth much, so we don't need to return them," Mo Chi decided immediately.
Chu Rou nodded.
"Oh no! My soup!" Shi Jingman remembered that there was still soup simmering in the kitchen, so she hurriedly ran back.
Chu Rou also went over to help.
Shen Minghui summoned Mo Chi to his study for questioning.
Only the Shen brothers, Qu Jie, and Huang Shan remained in the living room.
Shen Luo stopped showing off his relationship with Qu Jie; he was still immersed in the sadness of his sister getting married, even though the person she married was his good brother.
"Mo Chi is really amazing!" Huang Shan exclaimed. "He won over Sister Chu Rou without making a sound. I'll have to ask him for advice later."
Shen Yan glanced at Huang Shan and asked in a flat tone, "What, do you have someone you like?"
"I've always been there, but I just can't catch up." Huang Shan sighed. Everyone knew she liked Shen Yan, except for Shen Yan himself.
Shen Yan stiffened for a moment and then fell silent.
Huang Shan became even more depressed.
Qu Jie shook her head and changed the subject, "Shanshan, are you still living at school this semester?"
Huang Shan glanced at Shen Yan, "Hmm, where else can we stay?"
She and Qu Jie had used connections to get into university and ended up living together in a double room. Suddenly, Huang Shan thought of something and asked with wide eyes, "You're not going to move out and live with Shen Luo, are you? Then I'll be all alone."
Qu Jie's gaze swept back and forth between Huang Shan and Shen Yan. "I thought you were going to stay at Shen Yan's place, so I'm planning to move to Shen Luo's rented apartment. His leg hasn't fully healed yet, so it'll be easier for me to take care of him there."
“If you live on campus, then I’ll have to stay with you. I’m worried about you living alone. There are several foreigners in our dorm building, and they’re all looking at you strangely. I have to protect you.”
After Qu Jie finished speaking, she gave Huang Shan a look. Huang Shan suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "Yes, those foreigners are much stronger than us. I heard that those foreign women like women. The way they look at me is so scary."
"My sexual orientation is perfectly normal. I like men, and I can't accept women."
Shen Luo became nervous. "Brother, you should let Huang Shan continue to stay with you. You can't bear to see Xiao Jie and me in a long-distance relationship, can you?"
"Not living together makes it a long-distance relationship?" Shen Yan glanced at his younger brother, thinking, "He's got a love-struck brain!"
"Pretty much. We can't be together during the day because of classes, and we can't be together at night either. We can only get together on weekends. What's the difference between that and a long-distance relationship?"
Shen Yan tapped his fingers on the sofa armrest. He turned to look at Huang Shan beside him. "I'm fine, but what if the person Huang Shan likes finds out? Won't it cause some misunderstanding?"
"No!" Huang Shan answered without hesitation. "He has no idea that I like him. Even if he knew I was staying with you, he wouldn't care."
Shen Yan frowned. He really wanted to ask Huang Shan how she could like such a heartless man!
