I had just finished breakfast when there was another noise at the door.
Everyone turned around and saw Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen walking in with smiles on their faces.
Everyone quickly got up to take the things from Duan Sheng and Ding Yifen's hands.
Duan Ye: "Mom and Dad, didn't you say you weren't coming back?"
Duan Sheng chuckled and said, "Plans have changed."
Ding Yifen: "Originally, I wasn't coming back because of work, but since Qingyuan and Niannian came, my parents thought we should come back together so everyone could be happy and lively."
Duan Jiancheng: "That's right. Come back and visit whenever you have time. After all, your mother and I won't be able to see you many more times."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
Duan Sheng spoke first: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Duan Jiancheng laughed heartily: "It's Dad's fault. On a day for family reunion, we shouldn't have said these things."
Miao Suzhen: "You haven't had breakfast yet? Mom will go heat it up for you."
After saying that, Miao Suzhen went into the kitchen.
Liang Mo followed, saying, "Grandma, let me help you."
Luo Qingyuan also stood up: "Grandma, sister-in-law, I'll go too."
Just as Duan Ye was about to say something, Duan Renji pulled him aside: "Little Ye, want to play a game of chess with your older brother?"
Duan Ye turned around and smiled, "Alright, it's been a long time since I played chess with my elder brother."
Duan Renji: "Let's go then, to the rooftop."
Duan Jiancheng sat down with Duan Sheng and his wife to chat, and soon after, Miao Suzhen also came out.
Only Liang Mo and Luo Qingyuan remained in the kitchen.
Liang Mo asked directly, "Qingyuan, would you mind telling your sister-in-law the detailed work addresses of your family members?"
Although Luo Qingyuan smiled, there was no smile in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I don't know much about my family. After all, we all went our separate ways after we grew up, and I rarely see my family."
Liang Mo smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Really? Is President Luo that busy?"
With that "President Luo," Luo Qingyuan was completely certain that Liang Mo's reason for returning home was her.
Luo Qingyuan looked at Liang Mo: "Sister-in-law, please speak frankly."
While steaming buns, Liang Mo said, "I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, it's just that the nature of my and your older brother's work is very special, so everyone in the family must be open and transparent."
Luo Qingyuan looked at Liang Mo quietly without saying a word.
Liang Mo also knew that Luo Qingyuan was dissatisfied. After all, a large family like the Luo family and their military family were two different worlds.
Merchants are all cunning.
Soldiers, on the other hand, are the complete opposite.
Liang Mo turned around to face Luo Qingyuan, saluted, then extended his hand and said in a generous manner, "Hello, Luo Qingyuan. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Liang Mo. I am an intelligence analyst at the China Intelligence Organization."
Luo Qingyuan could only extend her hand and shake hands with Liang Mo simply, saying, "Hello."
Luo Qingyuan wasn't stupid. Liang Mo had officially revealed his identity, so he must have something important to say.
Liang Mo: "We're all family, so we won't hide anything from you. We came back this time on orders from our superiors to go home, find out the situation of your family, and make a detailed report."
Liang Mo's position is very high; he has more influence than the officials of all ranks in Kyoto.
but…
Who is Luo Qingyuan? She never submits to injustice, especially not…
When she discovered that this trip home seemed to be part of a conspiracy.
Luo Qingyuan looked at Liang Mo: "Sister-in-law, since you know my true identity, you must have also investigated my family's situation, right?"
"Since you've already checked, why ask me?"
After saying that, Luo Qingyuan was about to turn and leave when Liang Mo quickly said, "As far as I know, your brother will be returning to China at the end of this month. I think we need your help."
Luo Qingyuan turned around abruptly, her face devoid of any smile: "You suspect my brother?"
Liang Mo stepped forward and faced Luo Qingyuan directly: "Yes, according to the information we found, your brother's business overseas may be involved in illegal activities, so..."
Luo Qingyuan continued Liang Mo's words: "So you've been waiting for me here all this time? Sister-in-law, my brother may have a bad temper, but he's involved in all legitimate businesses. I won't allow you to slander my brother."
Liang Mo: "Please calm down..."
Luo Qingyuan: "I have remained calm. You will not be able to get any information about my brother from me unless you have evidence to prove that my brother is indeed doing something shady. Otherwise, please forgive me for not agreeing with your so-called suspected illegal activities."
Luo Qingyuan really disliked Luo Shuyang's opposition to her relationship with Duan Ye.
but…
Luo Shuyang has doted on her younger sister for most of her life. The fact that she was able to quickly take control of the entire domestic business market within a few years of returning to China is inseparable from Luo Shuyang's secret connections and protection.
Therefore, Luo Qingyuan could not accept anyone accusing Luo Shuyang of a crime he had committed on trumped-up charges.
Liang Mo: "Luo Qingyuan, do you want Duan Ye to know your true identity?"
Luo Qingyuan found it ridiculous: "Do you think you'll keep it a secret if I don't tell you?"
Just as Luo Qingyuan was about to step out of the kitchen, Liang Mo spoke up: "Yes, we will continue to investigate your brother, but we will not interfere with your life with Duan Ye."
Liang Mo thought to himself, "But... whether this marriage can last is anyone's guess."
According to Chinese law, if it is discovered that Luo Qingyuan's brother is involved in areas he shouldn't be, then Duan Ye, as Duan Jiancheng's grandson, can directly apply to Duan Jiancheng to annul the marriage. (ps: This is fictional; please do not apply it to reality.)
If it really comes to that, then the marriage certificate is just a piece of waste paper.
Even if Duan Ye remarries, it will be his first marriage under the law.
Luo Qingyuan stood there, her face somewhat unpleasant. If this were anyone else, she would definitely make that person know what the consequences would be for casually slandering the Luo family.
But this person is Duan Ye's family member.
Liang Mo sighed, stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and said, "We respect your choice regarding Duan Ye, but regarding your brother, we hope you can cooperate with us to find out his background."
Liang Mo didn't say that if Luo Shuyang's background wasn't thoroughly investigated, the Duan family would never publicly hold a wedding with the Luo family.
But Luo Qingyuan had also grown up following in her parents' and brothers' footsteps, so she naturally understood the hidden meaning in Liang Mo's words…
They couldn't help but fall to the bottom.
Grandma's bowl of longevity noodles today made her think she had gained the approval of everyone in the Duan family.
But it turns out...
He only gained the approval of his grandmother.
This was a completely unexpected situation for Luo Qingyuan, and she felt somewhat exhausted.
Although she completely trusted her brother, she also knew that if Luo Shuyang knew that Duan Ye's sister-in-law was an agent of the intelligence agency...
I doubt they'd agree to them being together.
Not only would my brother disagree, but my parents would most likely disagree as well.
They are from completely different worlds.
Then her life would truly collapse.
