"Sister Momo, please don't make fun of me..." Ye Meng blinked her eyes and looked at Ye Lingxiao pitifully.
Those dark, bright eyes, both gleaming and pitiful, made Ye Lingxiao reach out and gently ruffle her fluffy hair with a smile: "Okay, I know, I'll reward you handsomely."
That deep, sexy voice made Ye Meng's ears burn, and she felt like her soul was being stolen away by Ye Lingxiao!
Ye Meng's pitiful eyes were filled with grievance, sob...
Why is Night Emperor so mean? He's bullying her again.
"I'm not making fun of you, I'm just wishing you well." Gu Momo smiled as she walked up to Ye Meng and asked casually, "By the way, Mengmeng, I don't think I know anything about your family. Where do you live? Who are your family members?"
Upon hearing the question, Ye Lingxiao remained silent.
He hadn't expected his sister to be so quick to start checking the household registration.
However, a faint smile curved his thin lips, clearly indicating that he cared about the issue.
He had overlooked something; it seems he hadn't thoroughly investigated Ye Meng's family situation yet...
Ye Meng blinked her clear, bright eyes, then answered earnestly, "I live alone at home, along with an aunt who takes care of me. Oh, and I also have three uncles, but I don't live with them now."
Ye Lingxiao heard every word of these words and his brow furrowed slightly.
She lives alone; how could he not know that...?
Gu Momo also noticed this, and she smiled: "Why are you alone?"
"..." Ye Meng's dark eyes were fixed on Gu Momo, her voice seemingly devoid of any emotion:
“My parents and other family members passed away in an accident more than 20 years ago, so I am all alone. However, my three uncles take good care of me, so Miss Momo doesn’t need to worry about me.”
After saying that, as if she had thought of something, Ye Meng's dark eyes sparkled: "Oh right, Sister Momo!"
"I also recognized an uncle named Ye Rong. Uncle Ye Rong is so great! In my eyes, Uncle Ye Rong is an omnipotent person. He can do the most difficult things in the world. I think Sister Momo will definitely become good friends with Uncle Ye Rong."
When talking about her uncle Ye Rong, Ye Meng's starry eyes filled with starlight, as if all the light in the world was shining on her.
A deep smile lingered in Gu Momo's eyes: "Is your Uncle Ye Rong really that amazing? All-powerful?"
"Yes, yes! That's right!" Ye Meng's beautiful eyes sparkled like little stars. "Uncle Ye Rong can do things that others can't, and he's so gentle and kind. Everyone in our area speaks highly of him."
Hearing Ye Meng say that, Gu Momo couldn't help but want to meet this Ye Rong.
To hold a high position and yet command the willing trust of countless people requires immense ability and skill.
So she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go see your Uncle Ye Rong whenever I need him."
"Mmm!" Ye Meng's dark eyes sparkled with countless smiles as she chatted and laughed. She looked at Ye Lingxiao with delight, only to find him looking at her with a complicated expression, his eyes filled with heartache.
Seeing that Gu Momo and Ye Meng had finished their conversation, Li Zhanting stood up unhurriedly: "Then you should rest first, brother. I'll go with Momo to check on Mom. Her condition is a bit more serious, and we need to keep a close eye on her."
"Okay, Momo and Zhanting be careful." Ye Zhancheng's voice was full of reassurance.
"Alright! Don't worry, big brother! Second brother, Mengmeng and Xi'er, we're going now!" Gu Momo greeted everyone in the room and then followed Li Zhanting, carrying their things, towards Rong Muhua's ward.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to see Gu Momo and Li Zhanting off, Ye Lingxiao slowly walked into the courtyard outside the ward.
Ye Meng was used to following Ye Lingxiao, so when she saw him go out to see Gu Momo and Li Zhanting off, she stood next to him.
Just then, a pair of gentle hands landed lightly on Ye Meng's head. Ye Meng trembled all over, somewhat incredulous.
Looking up, she met Ye Lingxiao's teasing eyes: "If you don't have a home, I can give you one; then no one will dare to bully you anymore. I will be your family, and I will protect you."
The deep, mellow voice struck Ye Meng's heart deeply, causing her to tremble with shock and disbelief.
Ugh... What Night Emperor meant by that was...
With a clear guess in her mind, Ye Meng felt her heart race and her face flushed crimson as if it could bleed.
No, Night Emperor is trying to bully her again. Night Emperor is so mean, what should I do? Waaaaah...
Gu Momo and Li Zhanting had just reached the courtyard where Rong Muhua's ward was located when they suddenly heard a scream coming from inside!
"Ah!" Gu Momo and Li Zhanting were immediately taken aback. The two rushed forward, and Li Zhanting kicked the door open before Gu Momo could get there!
The next moment, several masked men in armored suits were seen hiding in the room, firing at Gu Momo and Li Zhanting.
A sharp glint flashed in Gu Momo's eyes. She nimbly rolled to the ground, dodging the bullets, while Li Zhanting dodged the barrage of bullets even faster and rolled to Rong Muhua's bedside.
Just before the other party was about to pick up Rong Muhua, he kicked the masked man in the ankle!
"Ugh!" The masked man groaned, feeling as if the bones in his legs were about to break.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Gu Momo kicked several masked men in the face: "Who are you? Let go of my mother!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lingxiao quickly appeared at the door of the ward. Before the masked men could react, Ye Lingxiao rushed forward, kicked away the pistol they were about to pick up, threw them over his shoulder, and then forcefully locked their throats.
Every move he made was swift, decisive, and as fast as lightning!
"Speak! Who sent you?!" As soon as Ye Lingxiao finished speaking, the men instantly foamed at the mouth and died.
Li Zhanting immediately squatted down to examine them, his brows furrowed: "They had poison hidden between their teeth. It seems they committed suicide before completing their mission! I'll have someone examine them immediately to see if we can find any clues."
After saying that, Li Zhanting immediately called Mo Feng and asked him to send someone to deal with the body as soon as possible.
Looking at all this, Gu Momo's eyes gradually dimmed, and she walked to Rong Muhua's bedside with a pained expression.
Rong Muhua remained in a deep sleep, sleeping peacefully with her thin lips pressed together and her skin fair. She was as serene as a fairy descended to earth, but Gu Momo had no idea when this fairy would wake up...
"MoMo..." Li Zhanting walked to Gu MoMo's side and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
