Chapter 40
After this incident, everyone's mood was mostly ruined. After coming out of the cafeteria, Qi Lin still noticed, "The old man doesn't look that angry."
"Why is he angry?" Jiang Xu, who was walking beside him, teased without thinking, "Young Master Mo is just about to tear Li Rui's grandson's mouth apart. Who will dare to be so blind to provoke Old Xi in the future?"
"It's weird." Qi Lin touched his head and said.
Jiang Xu was puzzled: "What's so strange about it?"
Qi Lin rarely used his brain on such things, but he was very sensitive to the fact that something was wrong. However, he could not put his finger on what was wrong. He just said, "Do you think that Xi Si was the kind of person who hid behind others and needed others to stand up for him? I was about to rush forward when he called me. Why did Chen Mo do that? He didn't say a word from beginning to end?"
Jiang Xu looked at him with disdain.
"Are you as fierce as Brother Mo?"
"Old Xi is afraid that you will get beaten, idiot."
Qi Lin frowned: "Really?"
"Absolutely." Jiang Xu was sure.
They both looked at the two people walking side by side in front of them.
Chen Mo was still shaking the water off his hands, while Xi Siyan beside him answered a phone call, occasionally humming twice, looking a little aloof. Everything was normal, and at first glance, it seemed that they were now classmates with a good relationship, or friends.
Qi Lin looked at it for a while and stopped worrying about the difference.
The rumor that Chen Mo had taught Li Rui a lesson in the cafeteria that afternoon spread throughout the second year of high school.
It may not sound surprising that a school bully occasionally teaches someone a lesson, but on a par with this, many people are speculating on why Yang Shule, a campus star, suddenly has a good relationship with someone like Li Rui.
This speculation seemed to suddenly have a clue on the afternoon after the final exam.
The cause was a middle-aged man with a bruised face and nose who appeared at the school gate and started a commotion.
Claimed that he was beaten by people in school.
The guard asked who hit him?
He couldn't tell the name, but many people who left school heard him cursing, "I'm telling you, I'm Yang Shule's biological father! That little bastard must have hired someone to beat me up, and he threatened me that if I cause trouble for that little bastard again, he would make me go back to the countryside and never see the sun tomorrow, bah!"
The man rudely spat at his feet.
Then he cursed: "You are a bunch of little bastards, how dare you mess with me? I tell you, if your school doesn't give me an explanation today, I will hang a banner and lie down at the gate of the Education Bureau tomorrow to let the leaders know how your school educates students!"
The middle-aged man should have some money recently.
His clothes weren't too shabby, but he still looked as rough and barbaric as ever, and he looked very disheveled as he had just been beaten up.
Many people stopped at the school gate to watch and point.
At that time, Chen Mo was actually in a black car on the side of the road in front of the school gate.
It was the car that the Yang family came to pick someone up.
Since Chen Mo started living on campus, he has only been back to Yang's house once, and Yang Zhi drove him back at night when he wasn't paying attention. Now that the end of the semester is over and the year is coming to an end, living on campus is no longer realistic, so Chen Mo naturally took the initiative to get in the car.
The driver was originally sending a message to Yang Shule, who had not come out yet, but was also attracted by the movement at the door.
After looking at it for a while, his expression was strange.
He turned around and looked at the calm young man in the back seat, hesitantly: "Master Mo, that person..."
"Chen Jianli." Chen Mo glanced out the window casually. He didn't expect Yang Shule's tricks to remain hidden for long, so he said, "He's very difficult to deal with. If you think it's necessary, you'd better report it to your boss."
The driver was stunned, but did not move.
The driver is not stupid.
The Yang family knew about the news that Chen Jianli had come to Suicheng very early on. Mrs. Yang was even afraid that he would come and cause trouble, so she specially hired bodyguards for Yang Shule.
But from the looks of things, it seems like Chen Jianli has been looking for Yang Shule for more than a day or two.
Yang Shule never asked the Yang family about it, and he was able to deliberately avoid the bodyguards, which only meant that Yang Shule himself did not want anyone to know.
The wealthy are complicated.
Especially the Yang family, the relationship is not something that can be explained in one sentence.
This is not something he, a driver, should get involved in.
The driver looked at the door and suddenly said, "It seems that I am no longer needed. The school leader has come out."
Chen Mo looked out.
Sure enough, several people who looked like leaders appeared there. I don’t know what they said to Chen Jicheng, but soon, Chen Jicheng was invited into the school and left the school gate, which was a place of trouble.
Chen Mo was not surprised at all.
Not to mention that Chen Jianli could really do something like that in front of the Education Bureau, Yang Shule is now very popular and is the face of No. 1 Middle School. The school will not give up on him easily. When something happens, they will naturally try their best to suppress it.
Chen Mo retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Let's go, Yang Shule shouldn't come out for a while."
The driver did not hesitate, "Okay, then I'll take Mr. Mo back first."
Halfway through the journey.
The driver recalled that during this period, the eldest son of the Yang family seemed to have a wavering attitude towards this real young master, and thought of another young master who seemed to be in a lot of trouble because of his biological father. He keenly felt that the person sitting in the back seat at this moment was no longer the Chen Mo who was manipulated by anyone in the mouths of any servant serving the Yang family.
He was so calm that he gave people a feeling that he had everything planned out.
But he seemed too indifferent, as if he was not bothered by any outside gazes or rumors.
He hasn't appeared at the Yang family for several months.
But he was just sitting in the car at the moment, and no one could ignore him.
The driver made small talk, "How did your final exam go, Mr. Mo?"
"good."
"Haha, then the gentleman and his wife will definitely be very happy."
Chen Mo glanced at the driver in the rearview mirror and said with a half-smile, "Really?"
The driver immediately shut up.
Everyone knows that Chen Mo is not as respected as Yang Shule in the Yang family. And it is said that Yang Shule has been doing very well recently. Not only has he been given the focus of school training, but he has also won a lot of reputation for the Yang family through various interest competitions and performances. Recently, when Mrs. Yang meets with people, she always praises her youngest son.
Facing the driver's cautious and somewhat sympathetic gaze, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows.
He knew why the other party had this attitude.
But at the moment, he was more interested in knowing how interesting the expression on Yang Shule's face would be when he discovered that he had found a stupid ally and had blatantly invited Chen Jianli to his door.
When we got back to Yang's house, it was almost seven o'clock.
Seeing him coming back alone, the servants in the villa had different expressions.
But no one dared to ask.
Chen Mo was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he went upstairs to take a shower and change into his pajamas.
When he went downstairs again, he found that Yang Shule had returned and was sitting on the sofa with a bright smile. He held Zhou Yaoqing's arm, knocked his head on his mother's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Mom, it's just a title of excellent representative." The moment he saw Chen Mo, he subconsciously added, "But the school asked me to represent No. 1 Middle School to attend the National Youth Commendation Conference next semester, and I am indeed a little nervous."
Zhou Yaoqiong smiled happily and consoled her: "This is a good thing. There is no need to be nervous. When your father and brother come back later, mom will ask them to reward you."
Speaking of Yang Qi'an and Yang Zhi, Yang Shule had an obvious stiff movement.
There was also anxiety and nervousness in his eyes.
Chen Mo saw clearly that Yang Shule was afraid that what happened in school today would reach the ears of the father and son. After all, the father and son were immersed in the business world, and they were not as closed to the news as the wealthy wife Zhou Yaoqing.
It depends on the attitude of this father and son.
Zhou Yaoqiong also noticed Chen Mo at this time. Maybe she was in a very good mood, so she smiled and waved, "Xiao Mo, come and sit down."
"Mom." Chen Mo called out and sat down on the sofa in the opposite corner.
His obviously distant and unfriendly attitude made Zhou Yaoqing's expression fade.
But soon, she smiled and said, "Chinese New Year is coming soon. This year is your first year back, and mom wants to celebrate it properly. So I invited all the relatives from both my side and your dad's side to celebrate the New Year together, as well as some of your dad's close business partners. I will have someone come to your house to tailor two sets of clothes for you."
Yang Shule immediately said, "How can you only do it for us? What about Big Brother?"
"You, you never forget to think about your elder brother." Zhou Yaoqiong seemed helpless and doting, "Your elder brother is already an adult, I can't control him, and he has a stable girlfriend, it's not my turn to control him."
Yang Shule laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, we have to entertain them well."
Chen Mo lazily looked at his wrinkled fingertips which had just been soaking in the bathtub.
But my mind was wandering a little.
In his previous life, Zhou Yaoqing said that this New Year was a celebration of his first New Year's Eve since his return, but it almost turned into a criticism meeting where he was secretly mocked.
None of the Zhou family members came.
The people from the Yang family were happy to see their family make a fool of themselves.
In addition, at this time in his previous life, Chen Mo was already in a bad situation. Not to mention that all the cousins he didn't know were telling people about his lone wolf behavior in school and comparing him to Yang Shule, not to mention the unbearable words he said behind his back.
Chen Mo didn't have a good year that year, so naturally, no one else had a good year either.
Because Chen Mo overturned the table.
It made the scene particularly ugly.
Apart from that, the only person who left a good impression on him was Yang Zhi’s girlfriend.
His girlfriend's surname is Su, Su Qianran, and she is the marriage partner that the Yang family had chosen for Yang Zhi a long time ago.
This girl has a special personality. She doesn't seem to think there's anything wrong with using marriage as a bargaining chip, and she doesn't expect any sparks of love to be created with Yang Zhu. Dating, eating, and even getting engaged later, she just treats it as a task to be completed.
On that New Year's Eve, she was the first person to say to Chen Mo with a smile: "The action of flipping the table just now was very handsome."
In the years that followed, she was indeed Chen Mo's nominal sister-in-law.
It's just that her relationship with Yang Zhi has always been weak. She has her own business. In Chen Mo's battle to seize Yang family's shares, she even helped him several times.
Until the year Chen Mo died.
Occasionally, Chen Mo heard her arguing with Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi asked her why she had to meddle in other people's business again and again? !
Su Qianran sneered and said, "Yang Zhi, you have been blind for so many years, isn't that enough? Doesn't it feel good to deceive yourself? Are you hypocritical?"
Chen Mo didn't know what caused the quarrel between the two, but he felt that his sister-in-law was a person of temperament and it was a waste for her to marry Yang Zhi.
Now that Yang Shule said that he wanted to treat his sister-in-law well, Chen Mo knew that his work would be in vain.
Because Su Qianran dislikes Yang Shule very much.
Chen Mo even suspected before that the reason why she helped him again and again was because she hated Yang Shule, so she also disliked Yang Zhi who always indulged Yang Shule.
Soon, Yang Qi'an and Yang Zhi came back from get off work.
The father and son walked in one after the other, their expressions revealing no attitude.
But after Yang Shule enthusiastically called them "Dad" and "Big Brother", their responses seemed a little bland.
And after a brief greeting.
For the first time, Yang Qi'an asked Chen Mo to follow him to the study.
Chen Mo stood up under Yang Shule's jealous gaze, feeling tired, looked at Yang Zhi who had a complicated look in his eyes, and followed Yang Qi'an's pace.
Yang Qi'an's study is full of the scent of books.
Even though he doesn't have much business acumen and isn't as decisive as his eldest son, he was a self-proclaimed talented young man when he was young, otherwise Zhou Yaoqing wouldn't always suspect that he had someone else outside.
"Sit down." Yang Qi'an walked in and pointed to the sofa opposite.
Chen Mo sat down calmly.
Yang Qihuan took off his coat and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
He seemed to think for a long time before he said, "Your adoptive father didn't go to school to cause trouble for you, did he?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo knew that he probably knew what happened in school today.
Chen Mo shook his head, "No."
"That's good." Yang Qi'an nodded.
When he got here, he didn't know how to ask about Chen Mo's past.
Is it guilt or regret?
It's hard to explain.
When he first found Chen Mo, Yang was immediately caught in a whirlpool of public opinion. He was busy dealing with all parties, and when he heard his wife talking about how their youngest son, whom he had raised since childhood, was so sick that he couldn't get up, he seemed to start to get anxious. It's not that he didn't know that Chen Mo's past life was very bad, and Chen Jianli was not a good person, but he never thought of carefully checking and investigating it.
In addition, as soon as Chen Mo came back, his temper became very tough.
Over time, people forget to ask, how have you been spending the past seventeen years?
The serious investigation into Chen Jicheng began from the time he made a scene at the company gate.
Originally, they just wanted to give him money to get rid of him, but he turned out to be a dog-skin plaster. Now the investigation results are finally out, and they have just learned that Chen Jianli has been involved with his youngest son who thinks he is innocent and knows nothing.
That’s nothing.
As the life information of Chen Jianli was unfolded, what was revealed to the father and son of the Yang family was the bloody reality and truth.
These were the seventeen years in which Chen Mo had never been questioned.
The text is simple.
Chen Jianli had a son, but he suspected that he was not his biological son. He tried several times to abandon him or cause his death in an accident.
Due to years of abuse, the father and son had a bad relationship and fought many times. There were eight records of visits to county-level hospitals, but the data below the county level was incomplete, so it was impossible to count...
If these materials were available when Chen Mo was just found, Yang Qi'an might have completely ignored them because of the mess in the company.
It just happened to be such a timing.
The son in front of him was not at all the boy with cold eyes who would rather break than bend.
He was leaning on the sofa like a boneless person at this moment.
He didn't know who was sending him messages on the phone. He just followed the messages and occasionally responded with a few words.
When did he become like this?
He is proud and noble, as if he grew up in a pile of money, and there is no trace of gloom on his body.
So some questions, once you miss the opportunity, you will never be able to ask them again.
Yang Qi'an waited for a long time and found that he really didn't care why he asked him to come, so he took the initiative to ask: "Who are you sending the message to? Classmates?"
Chen Mo didn't even raise his head, "Yeah."
At this time, he pressed a few buttons on the mobile phone interface.
Replying to a message from a group called "Unknown Underground Organization". This group of people is a bunch of idiots, about ten people, and most of them are from the experimental class.
At this moment, the group is talking about what happened in the afternoon.
Gou Yiyang: "The latest news is that your good father Mo Mo has made a lot of money from the school."
Jiang Xu: "Is this a new way to get rich?"
Bai Cheng: "Isn't the point that the man is Yang Shule's father? What does it have to do with our Master Mo?"
XX: "That's right, it has nothing to do with our Master Mo."
XX: "Yang Shule is indeed the chosen star. It is unheard of that the school is willing to spend money to eliminate the disaster."
Gou Yiyang: "Mo Mo, Mo Mo, Mo Mo, can you say something?"
Jiang Xu: "You won't be angry and cry, right?"
Gou Yiyang: "Get lost! Brother Mo is a straight-laced man, he bleeds but doesn't cry."
A new message pops up in the scrolling messages.
XSY: "@Silence is not gold is your grandfather, are you asleep?"
Silence is not golden. Your grandfather: “No.”
The group was silent for three seconds.
The screen is filled with ellipsis marks...
