After He Yaonian finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the living room.
He Yaoyuan even gave Mo Tingchuan a light glare, signaling Mo Tingchuan not to go against He Yaonian.
Mo Tingchuan assessed the situation and ultimately lowered his head in frustration.
"Third Uncle, that's not what I meant, I just..."
After much thought, Mo Tingchuan came up with a reasonably plausible excuse.
"I just feel bad that you are always so busy and have to worry about me and Mingdai."
"If you feel bad, then don't act impulsively like a child. I hope that your behavior today will never happen again."
After giving Mo Tingchuan a light lecture, He Yaonian took Gu Chengyun upstairs.
Mo Tingchuan had to politely reply, "Understood, Third Uncle."
Once He Yaonian and Mo Tingchuan had completely disappeared, Mo Yumei hurriedly went up to ask Mo Tingchuan.
"Why did you try to pick Mingdai's door lock? What happened?"
He Yaoyuan also looked puzzled.
"Did Mingdai offend you?"
But then he felt it didn't seem right.
Mingdai is definitely not the type of person who actively seeks trouble.
"nothing."
The fact that Mingdai and He Yaonian were having an affair was not a good thing for Mo Tingchuan. He was losing face and couldn't tell anyone with a clear conscience.
"What do you mean 'nothing'? You went and tried to pick Mingdai's door lock, so I think things must be pretty serious."
Mo Yumei, however, insisted on getting to the bottom of it.
He Yaoyuan was more concerned about the impact of this matter.
“No matter what, you can’t try to pick Mingdai’s door lock. You even ended up in the police station. Have you thought about the consequences if more people find out and the media reports about it?”
"This will never happen again."
Mo Tingchuan loathed He Yaoyuan's lecturing.
He now only has one thought about He Yaoyuan: the effect of bloodline. As for everything else, he'll just give him the runaround.
"I'm very tired, I want to go back to my room."
After Mo Tingchuan left, the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Mo Yumei looked at Mo Qingying.
Do you know what happened?
Mo Qingying hasn't been socializing much lately, focusing instead on her work at the company. She knows that the young masters and ladies of high society are hard to please, and she's learned her lesson the hard way. She's lost all motivation and might as well just go to work and earn money.
How would I know?
Mo Qingying sat back down and ate some fruit.
She thought about it.
"It's impossible that Mingdai deliberately provoked my brother to break into her house so that she could return to the He family villa, right?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Yumei gritted her teeth in anger.
"I knew it would be like this, otherwise why would your brother break into her house?"
He Yaoyuan thought so too, and said it to Mo Yumei.
"She wanted to come back to live here, so today we've granted her wish. However, we still need to be more careful in the future. I hope you can advise Tingchuan that it would be better to avoid any more mishaps before he and Qingying officially change their surnames to He."
Mo Yumei thought so too, but she couldn't control Mo Tingchuan.
Not long after Mingdai returned to her room, He Xingqiong and He Xingye rushed in excitedly.
"You're really back."
He Xingqiong was overjoyed. "I just heard Uncle San and Uncle Chengyun talking, and that's when I found out that you've been brought back too."
Uncle Chengyun?
The name is not wrong, but it still sounds a bit funny.
Mingdai was putting the items back in their places one by one.
“Something happened today, and it’s not safe for me to stay in my apartment for the time being. My third uncle found out about it and picked me up and brought me back.”
Mingdai was actually quite afraid that He Xingqiong and the others would discover her feelings for He Yaonian that she couldn't show to anyone.
But little did they know that He Xingqiong and He Xingye hadn't even considered that possibility.
Of course, even though He Xingqiong had already sensed something, she was secretly pleased with the outcome and didn't want to burden Mingdai, so she didn't show her emotions.
"What's wrong? Is your apartment unsafe?"
Mingdai felt that the fact that she had broken into the house couldn't be kept secret, otherwise her reason for returning wouldn't be sufficient.
So he explained the situation to the two of them.
He Xingqiong was utterly speechless at Mo Tingchuan.
"What's he up to now? Doesn't he ever do anything productive? Breaking into your house... Is he out of his mind?!"
He Xingye also found it unbelievable.
But upon closer reflection...
"You're not sure what he's looking for either?" Mingdai asked.
Mingdai nodded.
Uncertainty breeds apprehension and makes it easy to overthink.
If Ming Dai isn't even sure, then He Xingqiong and He Xingye are even less certain.
He Xingqiong could only say, "Then let's see if he makes any other moves. But it's good that you moved back; at least he won't dare to do anything to you here."
This is also why Mingdai moved back.
At least ensure safety first.
The next morning, the whole family sat down together for breakfast.
Only then did the others realize that Mingdai was also in her seat.
They all greeted him warmly, expressing their welcome and happiness.
During the meal, the Mo family members hardly spoke.
Breakfast is over.
The weather was overcast and rain was forecast. Mingdai was worried that she would be cold when meeting guests at noon, so she went upstairs to get her coat.
She ran into Mo Tingchuan, who had been waiting for her, on the stairs.
Mingdai stopped in her tracks.
Mo Tingchuan looked at her coldly.
"Did I tell you to come back, or did your third uncle personally go to pick you up?"
Is there any difference?
Mingdai's expression was indifferent.
"They're all the same."
She said, "I have to go to work, I'm running out of time."
"I send you."
Mo Tingchuan has already checked; Mingdai's car didn't come back last night.
“Mo Tingchuan, I know you want to make a good impression on your elders before you acknowledge your ancestors, but they haven’t arrived yet, and everyone else already knows what kind of person you are. Why bother putting on an act? Aren’t you tired?”
“If you and your third uncle continue like this, sooner or later more people will find out.”
Mo Tingchuan advised Mingdai.
"Don't treat everyone like fools, and don't think that just because the He family is being polite and courteous to you now, as if they treat you like family, they will accept your incestuous relationship with your third uncle as a matter of course."
"You're talking nonsense."
Mingdai had never thought of it that way.
She was attracted to He Yaonian, but she also knew that she had to divorce Mo Tingchuan first.
As for how the He family will view her relationship with He Yaonian, that's a matter for later. She hasn't even gotten rid of Mo Tingchuan yet, so where would she find the energy to care about anything else?
"Only someone with such a despicable mind would think everyone is like you."
Mingdai crossed Mo Tingchuan and was about to go downstairs.
“Mingdai, you should go back to your original room. We are not divorced, so we should live together.”
Mo Tingchuan silently looked at Mingdai, who had taken a few steps and then stopped.
“I will bring this up with my third uncle. If he refuses, then he has ulterior motives towards you.”
