Chapter 790 Madam Yu Arrives
"If they say anything inappropriate later, don't take it to heart," Qin Mo said. "Tell me, and I'll handle it."
"They're doing great." Lin Tan genuinely believed this.
Compared to the assistants and bodyguards Huo Sinian used to send to monitor her, Xiao Fengyun and Song Qi are now as friendly and comfortable as friends, and it should be very enjoyable to be with them.
That's what I was thinking.
Qin Mo's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Secretary Wen calling, he swiped to answer and said indifferently, "What is it?"
"Your mother and brother are here." Secretary Wen sat in the car downstairs, her gaze falling on Yu Peiyun and Qin Luofeng through the car window. "They're heading into the residential area now."
Qin Mo frowned slightly: "I understand."
Seeing that his expression was somewhat serious, Lin Tan took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"
Qin Mo: "My mom is here."
Lin Tan paused.
Speculation arose within moments.
"It's nothing. Since you've come, you must have something to talk to me about." Lin Tan remained calm and composed. "Either you've come to ask about what we discussed before, or you know that you come here frequently."
Since their last meeting, Madam Yu has not come to see her.
They've probably heard something about this trip.
"You don't have to see them if you don't want to," Qin Mo said. "I'll go down and take them away."
"Let's meet her anyway." Lin Tan turned back and opened the door, explaining her reasoning, "Your mother will feel more at ease if she sees you."
Qin Mo looked at her.
In the end, I went in with her.
The two sat on the sofa waiting for Madam Yu and Qin Luofeng to arrive.
About five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Just as Lin Tan was about to stand up, Qin Mo stood up first.
As the door opened, Madam Yu and Qin Luofeng appeared outside, one with a serious and unpleasant expression, and the other with a helpless look.
Their eyes met.
Qin Mo spoke first: "Why are you here?"
His tone was indifferent, and he exuded the usual aloofness that kept people at arm's length.
Yu Peiyun, who was already angry, became even angrier when she saw his attitude, so much so that she said in a very unfriendly tone: "You can come to this place, but I can't?"
Qin Mo was about to speak.
Lin Tan walked over, her attitude as gentle and poised as ever: "Madam Yu, please come in."
Yu Peiyun snorted coldly.
He looked unwell.
She now suspects that what happened last time was a conspiracy between Lin Tan and Qin Mo to deceive her.
"How did he end up here with you?" she asked directly and bluntly.
"Come over for a chat," Lin Tan replied, handing over a cup of tea. "We were just talking about you."
Yu Peiyun took the tea: "What are you talking about me about?"
She glanced at Qin Mo as she said this.
"You mentioned that you have a habit of drinking flower tea every afternoon around six or seven o'clock." Lin Tan said this in a very easygoing manner, appearing very approachable and friendly. "She even asked if I knew how to brew it, saying she wanted to learn so she could brew it for you."
Yu Peiyun paused in her movement, holding the teacup.
She glanced at Qin Mo subconsciously.
Not many people know about her habit of drinking flower tea every afternoon around six or seven o'clock. Qin Mo shouldn't be among those people, since he has never cared about her and Mu Chuan.
But now...
Looking at the fragrant tea in the cup, I began to believe it again.
However, while she believed it in her heart, she still wouldn't let it go: "Does he really have that kind of filial piety?"
"Of course," Qin Luofeng interjected, acting as an accomplice. "Brother has always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside. What he thinks in his heart is different from what he shows on his face."
"Isn't that right, brother?" Qin Luofeng looked at Qin Mo, his eyes conveying a hint.
Qin Mo remained silent and did not respond.
Qin Luofeng: "..."
Qin Luofeng silently agreed, then turned to Yu Peiyun and said, "My brother's temperament is just like yours; we both have this kind of temper."
"Like me?" Yu Peiyun asked as if she had heard a funny joke.
When did she ever have this bad temper?
Compared to her, she felt that Qin Mo was quite similar in personality to the old man and Qin An.
"When you were misunderstood for your good intentions before, didn't you react the same way as me?" Qin Luofeng calmly acted as a mediator. "You are our mother, and I think you know a thing or two about my personality."
This moment.
A fleeting emotion crossed Yu Peiyun's mind.
"Alright, all you do is defend him." She suppressed her emotions, still not showing her true feelings. "You two go out first, I need to talk to Lin Tan alone."
"What are we going to talk about?" Qin Luofeng asked, feigning curiosity.
"This is none of your business. Get out." Yu Peiyun said sternly.
Qin Luofeng subconsciously looked at Qin Mo.
The latter stood there without moving, and her words were extremely cold: "I don't think you have anything to talk to her about."
I talked about those things behind his back last time.
What will they talk about this time?
If Lin Tan becomes distant from him because of this conversation and stops using the people he arranged or needing his help, then all his efforts during this period will have been in vain.
"Is there anything we can talk about? Why don't you ask her?" Although Yu Peiyun was displeased, she didn't confront Qin Mo directly.
Having learned from her previous experience, she knew exactly how to ask the person to leave.
really.
Not long after she finished speaking, Lin Tan spoke up.
“I do have some things to discuss with Madam Yu. You can go out first, and we can talk about it later.” Lin Tan saw the situation clearly and knew that going against Madam Yu would not only worsen Qin Mo’s relationship with Madam Yu, but also throw her life into chaos.
Qin Mo's eyes were dark.
He didn't want to go out.
But after meeting Lin Tan's gaze, he couldn't bear to refute her.
Qin Luofeng stood up and walked over to him. As they passed each other, she whispered, "I left my phone on the sofa with the recording function on."
Qin Mo: "?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Mo's eyes.
Qin Luofeng pulled his arm, looking at Yu Peiyun and Lin Tan, and said, "You two can talk slowly. We'll go out first."
He left after saying that.
Not long after.
Only Yu Peiyun and Lin Tan remained in the living room.
Without Qin Mo present, the atmosphere in the living room became somewhat tense. Yu Peiyun didn't hesitate for a second and directly expressed her dissatisfaction: "What did you tell me last time? Have you forgotten?"
"I haven't forgotten," Lin Tan replied politely.
"You haven't forgotten that Qin Mo is still bothering you?" Yu Peiyun had a lot of complaints about this. "Didn't you tell me that he liked you for a while, but gave up because he found you boring?"
"It might not have reached its bottom yet," Lin Tan said.
"So when exactly?" Yu Peiyun felt like she had been played. She must have been misled by Lin Tan to agree last time. "Don't wait until you two have already gotten your marriage certificate."
“You are Qin Mo’s mother, you should know him better than I do,” Lin Tan said calmly.
Yu Peiyun didn't reply, but her eyes said it all.
“He is methodical, persistent, and doesn’t give up easily,” Lin Tan said. “If he gave up after only three or four months, he wouldn’t be Qin Mo.”
"You expect him to chase you for the rest of his life?" Yu Peiyun's expression immediately turned sour.
Lin Tan was about to speak.
Yu Peiyun's next sentence came immediately.
“I don’t have time to wait for you to play house. There are more ways to stop him from thinking about it than just the one you mentioned.” She said seriously, “If it doesn’t work with him, then we’ll try with you.”
