After chatting for a while, their uncle came to call them downstairs for dinner.
Xiao Mo pulled Yun Qi along, and as soon as they reached the dining table, they actually saw a strange little girl.
"Brother Xiao Mo!" The girl looked at Xiao Mo with delight.
Xiao Mo looked displeased: "What are you doing here?!"
The girl felt wronged, and tears were about to fall but she couldn't.
Yunqi looked the girl up and down. The girl was well-dressed and was a sweet and lovely girl.
Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Mo with displeasure: "I invited Kexin here. You're rarely home, so what's wrong with me inviting Kexin to eat together?!"
Xiao Mo: "Mom! You knew perfectly well I was bringing Qiqi today, so why did you call her here?!"
Xiao's mother was also angry: "It's just having a meal together, what's the big deal?!"
Xiao Mo laughed angrily: "Fine! It really is 'having a meal together, no big deal'..."
Xiao Mo was somewhat disappointed in his mother. He turned to Ke Xin and said, "Guo Ke Xin, let me formally introduce you: This is my girlfriend, Yun Qi. We're in a relationship where we'll get married as soon as we reach the legal age. Yun Qi is the only person I'll ever have in my life. Remember to call Yun Qi 'sister-in-law' whenever you see her!"
Guo Kexin never expected Xiao Mo to say that. She had followed Xiao Mo around since she was a child, and apart from his cousin, there were no other girls around him. Guo Kexin even thought that she was the closest person to him and the most likely person to spend her life with him...
As a result, Xiao Mo shattered her dream...
Was her pursuit of him for over a decade just a joke?! ...
The more Guo Kexin thought about it, the more wronged she felt... She ran away crying...
"Kexin!!" Before Xiao's mother could react, Guo Kexin had already vanished...
The older and younger cousins exchanged a glance without saying a word. Their aunt had been spoiled and pampered. Before marriage, she was pampered by her family, and after marriage, her husband and son pampered her. Her life had been smooth sailing and she had never experienced any setbacks...
This must be the first time she's felt embarrassed.
Xiao's mother was furious: "Xiao Mo!"
"Mom! I hope you can face Yunqi squarely!"
"How could she, an orphan with no parents, be worthy of you?!"
Mr. Xiao tugged at Mrs. Xiao, signaling her to stop talking.
"Mom! You've gone too far!" Xiao Mo and the rest of the family looked at Xiao's mother with disapproval.
Xiao Mo's maternal grandfather was also angry: "Xiao Ya (Xiao's mother)! Where is your upbringing?! Is this how I've always taught you?!"
Xiao's mother realized how inappropriate her words were, but it was impossible for her to apologize to a junior!
"..." Xiao's mother turned her head to one side.
Yun Qi pulled her hand away from Xiao Mo's grasp, looking at Xiao's mother with a serious and earnest expression: "My mother passed away when I was very young, and my father also sacrificed his life recently... My parents are both very good! This is not a reason for you to attack me! If you think I am not good enough for your son, I..."
"Qiqi!" Xiao Mo hurriedly interrupted, grasping Yun Qi's hand. He was afraid that Yun Qi would say something that would distance herself from him. "Qiqi, you are wonderful! There is no such thing as 'not good enough'! It's just you and me! You are the one I want to spend the rest of my life with!"
"..." Yun Qi tried to pull her hand away expressionlessly, but couldn't.
Xiao Mo certainly wouldn't let her break free. Seeing that Yun Qi wasn't struggling anymore, he pressed on, saying, "Mom, I'm an adult!! I can make my own decisions! Please respect my decision!"
"Grandpa and Grandma, it looks like we can't finish this meal. I'll take Qiqi and leave now. I'll bring Qiqi to visit you again next time."
"Okay. Xiao Mo, please take good care of Qi Qi."
"Grandpa, I understand."
Xiao Mo's maternal grandfather apologized to Yun Qi, "We've spoiled Xiao Ya (Xiao's mother) too much. Good child, we've wronged you..."
Yunqi completely ignored Xiao's mother's polite farewell to everyone, and didn't care about Xiao's mother's expression.
Xiao Mo took Yun Qi to the mall for a meal.
Xiao Mo carefully observed Yun Qi's expression: "Qi Qi, don't take my mom's words to heart. She's just spoiled by her family; she didn't mean any harm!"
"I will decide my own marriage! She can't make that decision!"
"Qiqi, all I want in this life is to be with you! Even my mom can't change my mind!!"
"Qiqi, don't be angry! Please talk to me!"
Xiao Mo said a lot, almost to the point of swearing an oath to the heavens.
Yunqi was amused by him: "Okay, I'm not angry."
Seeing Yunqi smile, Xiao Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief and served her even more food... Originally, they were going to eat at her maternal grandfather's house, but because of Xiao's mother's actions, Xiao Mo and Yunqi had to eat out.
After they finished eating, the two strolled around the mall...
Xiao Mo was queuing up to buy ice cream for Yun Qi, while Yun Qi sat and waited...
Suddenly, a woman caught Yunqi's attention.
It seemed like someone was chasing the woman; she kept running and occasionally looked back.
The woman fell down not far from Yunqi, and no one around her went to help her up.
Yunqi met her gaze. What kind of eyes were those? Clear yet fearful, with a hint of despair...
Yunqi, as if possessed, stepped forward to help her up: "How are you? Are you alright? Should I take you to the hospital?"
The woman's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had grasped at a straw in despair! Taking advantage of Yun Qi helping her up, she leaned close to Yun Qi's ear and pleaded urgently, "Please! Give it to the police!! You must give it to the police!!"
Yunqi was startled! She could clearly feel something in the woman's clasped hands.
Seeing her pleading eyes, Yunqi nodded gently.
Just as Yunqi helped her up, several people in white coats appeared behind them!
