Chapter 124 I'm Going to Fight Ink Pond
Mo Yuan wanted to say something more, but Mo Anbang shooed him away, saying, "Just do what you're doing and get busy!"
There was no point in saying more. Mo Yuan knew his father's temper well. He stood up and said, "Dad, don't worry, I won't interfere in Mo Chi's affairs anymore. I'll be leaving now."
Mo Anbang grunted in response, then lowered his head to look at the reports on the table, ignoring Mo Yuan.
Mo Yuan clenched his fists, suppressing his heavy breathing, and turned to leave Mo Anbang's office.
...
That evening, Mo Chi returned to the Mo family's old residence.
Qiao Siying hadn't seen Mo Chi for a while. She took Mo Chi's hand and looked him up and down, her face full of concern. "Xiao Chi, you've lost weight. It's only been less than a month. Are you working too hard?"
"Yeah, I'm so tired," Mo Chi pulled Qiao Siying to sit on the sofa. "Is my dad back yet?"
Qiao Siying pointed upstairs, "I went to the study as soon as I got back."
"I heard he scolded my second brother today," Mo Chi smiled smugly. "I won the first battle!"
Qiao Siying poked Mo Chi's forehead with her finger. "Keep your voice down. Don't say things like that again. Your dad hates it when you brothers have conflicts."
Mo Chi's eyes twitched slightly. He didn't want to either, but someone kept trying to sabotage him and kill him.
When he was kidnapped as a child, Mo Chi now realizes that it was a conspiracy. The kidnappers weren't after money; they just wanted to kill him.
His mother didn't know how his father got the news or how he was rescued, and neither did he. He only remembered that after that incident, Mo Yuan and his mother didn't see each other for five years.
"Xiao Chi!" Qiao Siying patted Mo Chi's arm. "What are you thinking about? I've called you several times."
Mo Chi snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at Qiao Siying, "I was thinking that if you could say something nice to my dad in bed, my life would be much easier."
Qiao Siying blushed deeply and slapped Mo Chi hard, "How dare you talk to your mother like that!"
Mo Chi touched his nose. Since being with Chu Rou, he had become increasingly outspoken.
After the family of three finished dinner, Mo Chi suddenly spoke up, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to City C tomorrow, and it will probably take me about a week to come back."
Mo Anbang knew what Mo Chi was going to do and hummed in agreement.
Qiao Siying had just seen her son today, and was reluctant to leave again tomorrow. "Is it really necessary to go to City C?"
Mo Chi nodded, "I need to make some arrangements at the company over there, and also transfer an assistant over."
"What assistant?" Mo Anbang asked, puzzled.
“My special assistant at Wanhua is very capable,” Mo Chi paused for a moment, “and you’ve all met her.”
"Have we met before?" Mo Anbang and Qiao Siying exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion, neither of them remembering.
Mo Chi cleared his throat. "It was at the last business banquet, Qi Hang's female companion, Chu Rou."
"Oh!" Qiao Siying remembered; she had a deep impression of Chu Rou. "How come she's your assistant?"
Mo Chi lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. "She is my classmate's older sister. She has always worked at Wanhua. After I went to Wanhua, I transferred her to the president's office as a special assistant."
"Qi Hang also got to know Chu Rou through me. She is very capable, and I really need her."
"Qi Lin listens to Chu Rou very well. With Chu Rou here, she can keep Qi Lin in check and prevent her from causing trouble all the time."
After Mo Chi finished speaking, Qiao Siying covered her mouth and laughed, "That's good too, Qi Lin is indeed a bit naughty."
Mo Anbang seemed lost in thought, and a long time passed before he finally spoke, "Then let's check it over."
...
Mo Chi had told Chu Rou that he would go to City C this weekend, but he came three days earlier than planned.
After he got off the plane, he sent Chu Rou a message, asking her where she was and what she was doing.
Chu Rou replied quickly, saying that she was having dinner at the Shen family's house.
Mo Chi smiled, put away his phone, and told the driver to take him to the Shen family's house.
The Shen family was bustling with activity. Qu Jie had returned, and Shen Yan and Huang Shan had also come over.
Chu Rou was in the kitchen helping Shi Jingman prepare the meal.
"It's really lively today," Shi Jingman said happily as her future daughter-in-law, Qu Jie, arrived. "Look at Xiao Luo, he's become like a leech, haha!"
Chu Rou chuckled twice, "He's been completely under Xiao Jie's thumb for the rest of his life."
Shi Jingman nodded in agreement, "Yeah, look at his pathetic self, I don't know who he takes after."
Chu Rou grinned mischievously and whispered in Shi Jingman's ear, "I think he looks like Uncle Shen. Uncle Shen would be unable to walk past you."
"Get out of the way!" Shi Jingman glared at Chu Rou, then took out some candy and dried fruit and stuffed them into Chu Rou's hands. "Give them some more food."
Chu Rou took the food and left the kitchen with a smile.
Not seeing Shen Yan in the living room, she asked, "Where's Brother Shen Yan? Why isn't he chatting with you guys?"
When Huang Shan saw Chu Rou, she quickly pulled her to sit down. "Sister Chu Rou, you've finally come! I've been such a third wheel here."
“Brother Shen Yan ran away by himself, leaving me here all alone.”
Shen Luo scoffed, "My brother just didn't want to be with you, it has nothing to do with me and Xiao Jie."
Huang Shan narrowed her eyes and stared at Shen Luo, gritting her teeth as she warned, "Watch your mouth, or I'll pester Qu Jie every day and make you single again."
Shen Luo rested her head on Qu Jie's shoulder, "Xiao Jie, look at that vicious woman Huang Shan, she bullied me!"
"Ugh~"
Huang Shan and Chu Rou both made disgusting gestures at the same time.
Qu Jie patted Chen Luo's head, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"
Chu Rou frowned. "No wonder Brother Shen Yan isn't here. I feel bad for Shan Shan. Please, you two, go back to your room and be lovey-dovey, okay?"
Shen Luo sat up straight and said to Chu Rou, "Sister, when you were with Mo Chi, you weren't much better than us."
Chu Rou thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I'm not as disgusting as you!"
“But Mo Chi is more disgusting than me!” Shen Luo showed a disgusted expression.
"Really?" Chu Rou didn't think so.
Huang Shan and Qu Jie nodded simultaneously, giving Chu Rou a definite answer.
"Sister, is Mo Chi coming back?" Shen Luo felt like she hadn't seen Mo Chi in a long time.
"It should be soon!" Chu Rou's lips curled up; she would soon be able to be with Mo Chi every day.
"I'm going to City B with Mo Chi next week!"
The living room fell silent. Shen Luo frowned, then slammed his fist on the sofa. "Mo Chi just kidnapped my sister like that? I'm going to fight him to the death!"
"You'll be going to City D with Qu Jie in the future, right?" Chu Rou sighed and patted Huang Shan's shoulder. "From now on, this family will be in your and Shen Yan's care."
Huang Shan nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, Sister Chu Rou!"
"Knock knock knock!" Someone knocked on the door.
All four of them looked towards the doorway at the same time.
Chu Rou stood up first, her heart beating a little fast. Could it be Mo Chi?
She walked to the door, opened it, and saw the person who came in looking surprised.
"Mr. Qi, what brings you here?"
