The two entered the bathroom, and there was no doubt that Mo Jingchen's shower had been a waste of time.
When they came out again, two hours had passed. An Yiruo was being held in Mo Jingchen's arms, looking exhausted.
Mo Jingchen lifted the blanket and placed An Yiruo on the bed: "Chen, my arm is sore."
An Yiruo looked at Mo Jingchen pitifully and said aggrievedly.
"Just practice a few more times, okay? Be good!"
Mo Jingchen's words almost made An Yiruo die on the spot!
If she exercises a few more times? She'd probably lose her life...
The next day, Mo Lingxiao's father angrily pointed at Mo Lingxiao's head and said, "You good-for-nothing, did you mess with someone you shouldn't have? If so, go apologize right now! Don't drag me into this!"
The news of Mo Lingxiao's company's situation had reached his father's ears, and the headquarters' indifferent attitude towards them made him suspect the seriousness of the matter.
"Dad, I really haven't offended anyone!" Mo Lingxiao was telling the truth, because An Yiruo wasn't considered a big shot in his eyes! So he naturally put her out of his mind.
"Then tell me, why exactly did we become the Mo family's pawns?"
"Dad, I really don't know!"
Seeing his son's expression, Mo Lingxiao's father was angry but helpless: "Fine, I'll go to the Mo family's old residence myself later and beg the patriarch!"
"Dad, when you see the head of the family, you must say some nice things to him and ask him to save us."
"You unfilial son! You caused a huge disaster without realizing it, forcing me, at my age, to come to your door begging for help!"
Seeing his father's angry expression, Mo Lingxiao was so frightened that he hurriedly left, reminding his father as he went, "Dad, when we get to the old house, you can't be so angry like this!"
"roll!"
After watching Mo Lingxiao leave, Mo Lingxiao's father went upstairs to change his clothes, took out a set of his treasured tea set, and went to the Mo family's old residence.
Inside the old house, Mo Zhiyuan, who was drinking tea, heard a servant report that Mo Lingxiao's father had come to "visit" him. He was not surprised, but as the head of the Mo family, he still had to maintain appearances: "Let him in."
Mo Lingxiao's father was led into the old house. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt the immense wealth of the Mo family. Sure enough, the main family was the main family, which was incomparable to the collateral branches.
"Master," Mo Lingxiao's father said, guided by a servant, as he entered the living room. At that moment, Mo Zhiyuan was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea.
"You're here, have a seat."
"Master, I recently found a fine tea set. Knowing that you enjoy tea, I brought it to you. Please accept it!" Mo Lingxiao's father respectfully presented the tea set with both hands.
But Mo Zhiyuan did not accept it immediately, nor did he ask him to get up. He just left him standing there with both hands holding the tea set.
"Patriarch?" Mo Lingxiao's father's hand, which was holding the tea set, was slightly sore, so he had to look up at Mo Zhiyuan and tentatively ask in a low voice.
“Look at me, I was lost in thought just now. Sit down.” Mo Zhiyuan didn’t mention the gift at all, and treated his previous silence as an unexpected one, leaving Mo Lingxiao’s father speechless despite his anger.
"Patriarch, I've come here today to get straight to the point. Ling Xiao's company... has run into some problems. To be honest, it's embarrassing to admit, although it's his own mismanagement, it's still a subsidiary of the Mo Group. If it goes bankrupt, it will damage the Mo Group's reputation!"
Mo Lingxiao's father's unspoken message was that although Mo Lingxiao's company was a subsidiary, it was still under the Mo family's control. If they stood by and did nothing, it would have a negative impact on the Mo family's reputation.
"Are you... threatening me?" Mo Zhiyuan sat there, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.
"No, Master. I am..."
"If you don't dare, why say it like that?" Mo Zhiyuan interrupted him and raised a question.
“Master, Lingxiao is a young and ignorant child. I don’t know which important person he has offended. I beg you to be lenient and help him through this difficult time. After this, I will owe you a favor. If you ever need my help in the future, I will do anything for you, even if it means serving you like a slave.”
“Lingxiao is young and doesn’t know any better, but don’t you know any better either? Besides, I haven’t been involved in the company’s affairs for years. Jingchen is in charge of everything now. I’m old and my health isn’t what it used to be. Now I just want to drink tea and enjoy life!” Mo Zhiyuan completely ignored any of Mo Lingxiao’s father’s words.
Although Mo Lingxiao's father was angry, he dared not show it in front of the family head: "Family head, I have tried to arrange to see the young master many times. However, the young master has been busy with official duties and has not been able to arrange time to see me. That is why I had no choice but to come and see you."
“Jingchen has managed the Mo Group very well over the years, leading it to new heights. He is indeed very busy. If Jingchen is busy, then you should make an appointment with me more often... I can’t do anything about it! Butler, see the guest out.” Mo Zhiyuan said to the butler beside him.
"Patriarch..." Mo Lingxiao's father wanted to say something more, but Mo Zhiyuan's warning look blocked his words, and he couldn't say a single word!
"Please take care of yourself, Master. I will visit you another day."
"Oh, by the way, take your tea set with you," Mo Zhiyuan said, pointing to the gift he had brought, indicating that he should take it and leave.
He, Mo Zhiyuan, has no shortage of tea sets. But your son hurt my daughter-in-law, and that debt still needs to be settled.
"Honey, you scared me to death! When you let him in, I thought you were going to soften and let them go," Gu Wanting said as she walked down the stairs.
"Wife, do you think I'm that kind of person who can't distinguish between family and country? Besides, my daughter-in-law has been harmed like this by Mo Lingxiao. Do you think I'd let them off just because of a few words from him? That's just wishful thinking!" Mo Zhiyuan stepped forward and reached out to help Gu Wanting, who was coming down the stairs.
"That's more like it. But speaking of which, An'an is really pitiful. I wonder how her wound is healing. We asked her to come back to the old house so that Mom and I could take care of her, but An'an is sensible and doesn't want to trouble us. Mom and I will go to Xinghai Bay to see her later," Gu Wanting said sadly as she spoke of An Yiruo's injury.
"Honey, don't be too sad. Take care of yourself. You and Mom will go over later and buy some of An'an's favorite food. You don't need to worry about anything else. I believe Jingchen already has a plan. Let Jingchen avenge An'an for this," Mo Zhiyuan said, comforting his wife.
“Yes. As An’an’s husband, it’s only right that I stand up for my wife!” Gu Wanting agreed with Mo Zhiyuan.
