Among the upper echelons of Kyoto, few are unfamiliar with Master Mo. In his early years, Master Mo served in the military alongside the now-retired No. 1 Commander. Later, after the war, he held a prominent position in the military, but later, for unknown reasons, he retired and turned to business. Although no longer in the military, Master Mo's commanding influence remains. All the prominent families in the upper echelons know that Master Mo and the former No. 1 Commander are close friends, and the current No. 1 Commander was raised under Master Mo's care. According to seniority, the current No. 1 Commander must call Master Mo "Uncle."
Therefore, even if there is no one from the Mohist School in politics or the military, no one dares to look down on the Mohist School.
Today was Mr. Mo's birthday, and the Mo family was packed with guests, a bustling crowd and a constant flow of traffic. Those who came were all of high status. Sun Minghao and the other two, who had arrived at the Mo family early with their parents, sat in a corner, chatting and talking.
"Brother Hao, do you think Uncle Mo will bring Luo Yu here tonight?" Zhou Jiahao looked at the cocktails in Sun Minghao and Zhou Jiazhi's hands, then looked at the boiled water in his own hand, feeling a little depressed.
"It's hard to say. My uncle's personality is such that he can't be manipulated by anyone. No one can stop him from doing what he wants. We have to be alert tonight. If something really happens, we will cover Luo Yu's departure." Sun Minghao, who knew his uncle's personality, felt that it would be better for him to make preparations early. After all, tonight was his grandfather's 70th birthday. If his uncle really brought Luo Yu back and made his grandfather angry, the situation would be difficult to handle.
Thinking of Mo's uncle's unwavering character, Zhou Jiazhi nodded in agreement, "Okay, we'll just watch tonight."
To be prepared for any eventuality, the three of them had even thought about how to deal with the situation if it happened. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have bothered to worry so much. But Luo Yu was different. Perhaps they had initially approached him out of curiosity, but after the kidnapping incident and their life-or-death relationship, things had changed. The three of them had come to regard Luo Yu as a very important friend, and if anything happened to him, they would definitely not sit idly by.
"Minghao..."
A delicate voice rang out, and the three looked up to see a pretty girl in a blue evening gown, with straight black hair, approaching them. She walked with a very ladylike gait in her high heels, but if you looked closely, you'd notice her gait seemed a bit stiff...
Seeing the person coming, even though the other person was smiling so sweetly, Sun Minghao felt goosebumps all over his body. He stood up reflexively and was about to run.
But the girl seemed to have seen through Sun Minghao's thoughts. She suddenly took a few steps and blocked Sun Minghao's way in front of her. Then she grabbed Sun Minghao's arm. Although she was smiling, her eyes were full of laughter as she said, "Minghao, where are you going? Why are you running away when you see me? Don't you miss me after not seeing me for so long?"
What was he thinking? He really wanted to disappear as soon as possible. How could he have forgotten that this witch would appear tonight? He was really careless. Although he didn't want to see the girl at all, Sun Minghao was not stupid enough to admit it. He could only force a smile and said perfunctorily, "I do. Of course I don't. Xiaona, you've been abroad for two years. We all miss you so much."
Xie Minna raised the corner of her mouth meaningfully, "Really? But I heard that you guys went out to celebrate all night on the day I left."
Sun Minghao immediately denied it, "Who said that? It's a rumor. We were so sad after you left that day, so we went out to drink to relieve our sorrow. We couldn't bear to leave you." That's weird.
"Really?" Xie Minna looked at Sun Minghao with suspicion.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, ask Azhi and Fatty." Sun Minghao quickly winked at Zhou Jiazhi and Zhou Jiahao.
"Yes, that's right, that's it." Zhou Jiahao immediately understood and nodded vigorously.
Zhou Jiazhi also agreed with a smile, "It's just as Minghao said."
He who knows the times is a hero!
"Then I'll believe you for now. What were you talking about just now?" Xie Minna pulled Sun Minghao, looking like she wanted to listen too.
"Nothing, just chatting casually." Sun Minghao said vaguely with a smile.
"Since there is nothing important, Minghao, come with me to meet my parents. My mother keeps nagging you for not visiting her often." With that, Xie Minna pulled Sun Minghao away, regardless of whether Sun Minghao agreed or not.
Watching the two walk away, Zhou Jiahao breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Zhou Jiazhi with lingering fear, "Brother, I think when I get a girlfriend in the future, I must get a gentle and lovely one. I can't handle the type like Sister Na."
"Don't you think that's more unique?" Zhou Jiahao asked Zhou Jiazhi with a smile.
"Brother, is this true? You have such a strong taste? You actually like a female Tyrannosaurus like Sister Na?" Zhou Jiahao looked stunned.
"Just kidding!" Zhou Jiazhi laughed when he saw Zhou Jiahao's face full of disbelief. Several young girls in evening gowns nearby looked over and, upon seeing the gentle and refined Zhou Jiazhi, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Zhou Jiazhi patted his chest and said with lingering fear: "Brother, can you please not scare me like this? You'll give me a heart attack." If Zhou Jiazhi really found a sister-in-law who was like a female Tyrannosaurus, his life in the future would be really difficult.
Sun Minghao was dragged by Xie Minna to meet Xie Minna's parents. As they were talking, Xie's mother said, "Minghao, our Xiaona is not planning to leave this time. She will transfer to Beijing University. When the time comes, she will go to the same school as you. You must take good care of her."
"Ah?" Sun Minghao opened his mouth, looking frightened. Xie Minna immediately pinched Sun Minghao with the hand that was wrapped around his arm. Then she glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "Don't you like me going to the same school as you?"
Sun Minghao smiled a smile that was uglier than crying. "How is that possible? I was just too happy and couldn't react for a moment."
"Haha, that's good. Today is your grandfather's 70th birthday, so I will discuss with your parents about your engagement with Xiaona. Once you are engaged, you can get married after you graduate." Father Xie said with a smile.
Sun Minghao really wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill himself. Originally, because of the verbal marriage between the two families, Sun Minghao was reluctant to do so. Now he wanted to get engaged immediately, and then marry this female Tyrannosaurus next to him after graduation? Wouldn't that be a death sentence for him?
If Sun Minghao, the third-generation heir of the Mohist clan in Kyoto, were to be asked who he feared most, besides his uncle, it would be Xie Minna, the eldest daughter of the Xie family. Xie Minna may appear sweet and pretty, but beneath that docile exterior lies a true Tyrannosaurus, quick to attack at the slightest disagreement. With a fiery temper, she's a walking bomb. Furthermore, as the only child in the Xie family, her father trained her in martial arts from a young age to protect her from bullying. Her destructive power grew with age. Sun Minghao's greatest humiliation was that he, a grown man, always lost to a girl in a fight. He couldn't win, and he didn't dare to scold her, so he could only grudgingly accept the fact that he had a Tyrannosaurus-like fiancée.
Seeing Sun Minghao's expression frozen, Mother Xie covered her mouth and smiled, "Minghao must be very happy about this engagement, right? Your uncle and I will go discuss this engagement with your parents now, and we should finalize it as soon as possible. You two young people can chat first."
Watching Father and Mother Xie leave, Sun Minghao's expression immediately darkened. He said to Xie Minna, "Miss Xie, Sister Xie, Aunt Xie, I beg you, can you please let me go? Didn't we agree that since I helped you, the child marriage wouldn't count? Why are you asking us to get engaged now?"
"I just found out about this, and it's too late to stop it. How can you blame me?" Xie Minna shrugged and curled her lips. "I'm pretty and talented, so why are you so unwilling to get engaged to me?"
"Yes, Miss Xie is a talented person with both literary and martial arts skills, and she is as beautiful as a fairy. I, Sun Minghao, am just an ordinary man. How can I be worthy of you, Miss Xie? Please be kind and let me go." Sun Minghao pleaded with a sad face.
"Okay, okay, it's like I'm forcing you to get married." Xie Minna waved her hand dismissively, "I'll go talk to my parents about it later, but I have to say first, I can't guarantee whether they will listen to me."
"Okay, if that doesn't work, I'll say I'm a lesbian and I like men. I don't believe your parents will still let us get engaged." In order to get rid of Xie Minna, Sun Minghao also tried his best.
Xie Minna lowered her head, and Sun Minghao did not see the disappointment and sadness that flashed across Xie Minna's eyes.
"Strange, why hasn't that brat arrived yet?" The guests had almost all arrived, but there was no sign of Mo Han. Old Master Mo couldn't help but ask Old Madam Mo beside him, "Do you think that brat forgot that today is my 70th birthday?"
"How is that possible? Even if I forgot the others, I would never forget yours. Don't be so anxious, it will be here soon." Old Mrs. Mo said with a smile.
"Who's anxious? I'm just afraid that the boy has no conscience and really forgot about my 70th birthday. In front of so many guests, if the boy doesn't show up on time, where will I put my face?" Mr. Mo defended himself, and then he thought of something and asked Mrs. Mo, "Do you think that brat will bring his girlfriend here?" Although Mr. Mo had spoken himself, he had no idea whether Mo Han would listen.
"You'll know in a minute." Mrs. Mo gave a vague answer. Mr. Mo didn't get a satisfactory answer, so he snorted and turned his head away, not speaking to Mrs. Mo again. This childish behavior made Mrs. Mo laugh out loud again.
At this moment, two graceful figures appeared at the door, and everyone in the banquet hall couldn't help but cast their eyes on the two people at the door.
