Ji Li only noticed Mo Xiaoqing next to him after hearing his words. He should have looked away, because his eyes lit up as soon as he saw her.
The main reason was that she happened to be wearing a white shirt and black trousers today, so I forgot about her for a moment and thought she was a nurse here.
After carefully examining her from head to toe, his gaze gradually softened with kindness.
The tension and sharpness from before were gone.
"Is this the girlfriend Mu Han was talking about?"
Mo Xiaoqing was taken aback and subconsciously turned her head to look at Ji Muhan.
Ji Muhan smiled at her, his eyes seemingly offering silent reassurance: with him by her side, there was nothing to worry about!
Mo Xiaoqing blinked her large, clear eyes habitually. "Yes, I am."
Ji Li's smile was somewhat stiff, unlike Old Master Qin's amiable attitude. Although he was startled and loud when Ye Zi spoke, he was the kind of straightforward person who could be seen through at a glance.
Ji Li's appearance clearly reveals his deep and unfathomable personality. He must have been a powerful figure in the business world in his younger years. Only a high-ranking person can have such a strong and awe-inspiring aura!
Mo Xiaoqing could sense the sincerity deep in his heart. Although his gaze was somewhat hesitant and cautious, he genuinely wanted to understand her.
"Since you're Mu Han's girlfriend, you can call me Grandpa, just like he does!"
Mo Xiaoqing was startled and blinked; she was truly stunned this time.
She always felt that meeting the parents was a very sacred and solemn occasion!
First, you have to be the center of everyone's attention, then you have to overcome many obstacles to reach the final stage!
Who knew that she would always be so kind to them, so kind that she was momentarily at a loss for words.
"ah…"
Mo Xiaoqing turned around and looked at Ji Muhan, somewhat at a loss.
When Ji Muhan saw her little darling looking so bewildered, she knew that she was truly surprised by the large group of people she had met today.
She had never shown him such a pleading and bewildered look before, which made him smile. He gently reached out and pulled Mo Xiaoqing to his bedside.
"You've seen it all, and now that you're sure I'm alright, you can go ahead. Anyway, Momo's here with me, so there's nothing for you to worry about!"
The implication is that you've disturbed my relationship with my girlfriend. If you have something to say, say it; if not, leave!
Old Master Qin choked.
Ji Li wasn't much better!
"..."
Mo Xiaoqing was always good at observing people's subtle expressions and had excellent eyesight. Seeing them fall silent like this, she knew that Ji Muhan hadn't said the right thing.
She secretly poked Ji Muhan's waist.
Her intention was to hope that Ji Muhan would be more careful with her words and not say things that made everyone feel awkward.
result…
"My Momo is shy and easily embarrassed. She was a little uncomfortable meeting so many strangers. Look, he even pinched me just now!"
Momo, who was shy and easily embarrassed, was speechless.
Grandpa Qin rarely retorted, "You've been chasing us away the whole time. I haven't seen Xiao Mo be shy at all. It's you who's been causing trouble. And now that you have a girlfriend, you don't recognize your family anymore, huh?"
"No, the doctor said I need to rest now. I thought if I rest a little longer, I could be discharged sooner and then I could bring Momo home so you could all get to know her!"
"..."
How come he never knew his grandson was so eloquent, always able to leave people speechless in every way?
"Let's go, let's go. You don't need to rush me. Anyway, this old man feels uncomfortable in this hospital. The smell of medicine in this hospital makes me feel dizzy!"
Ji Li's face was stiff, and the way he looked at Ji Muhan was somewhat cautious and hesitant, unsure of how to proceed.
“Your father only has you as his son. Even if it’s not for me, for the people you care about, you should step down from that position as soon as possible! The company will eventually be handed over to you. I’m old, and no matter how hard I try, I can’t hold on for much longer!”
Ji Muhan remained silent, her gaze unfathomable.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ji Li turned his gaze to Mo Xiaoqing beside him, "Child, come to our house to play whenever you have time, or come over for a meal once in a while, so it'll be lively."
Mo Xiaoqing glanced quickly at Ji Muhan, and seeing him lower his head without saying anything, she roughly understood.
She then quickly looked away and replied in a soft, sweet voice, "Okay, I will definitely come to visit you with Hanhan after he is discharged from the hospital!"
Tears welled up in Ji Li's eyes, as if he were feeling gratified, or perhaps silently thanking Mo Xiaoqing.
Then he said to Mo Fei, who was standing next to him, "Mo Fei, let's go!"
Mo Fei glanced at Ji Muhan on the hospital bed with some concern, seeing that he did not object, but also did not look in their direction.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Old Master Qin watched the two of them leave, a rare moment of mixed emotions welling up within him.
“We’re all getting old. Even if we keep putting it off, it won’t be long. While we’re still here, let’s go home and have a couple of meals. Even if we don’t want to stay overnight, just getting around is good!”
“I used to hate him, so much so that I wanted to tear his flesh off piece by piece. But over the years, I’ve gradually come to understand that his situation isn’t much better than mine. No matter how much I resent or get angry, it’s useless. In the end, he’s just an old man with his neck buried in the ground!”
