Chapter 812 - She Was Mo Jin for Sure
Chapter 812: She Was Mo Jin for Sure
He intended to walk over to her, but someone stopped him on his way, mentioning all kinds of things about fundraising.
The person was a respected man so Nian Junting responded to him absent-mindedly with his eyes fixed on Mo Jin. Seeing Mo Jin walking to the buffet table, he hurriedly said ‘excuse me’ to the man and walked quickly over to her.
Near the buffet table, he asked the waiter for two to-go boxes then put them on his dish. Next, he put his phone between his ear and shoulder, then walked to Mo Jin.
Mo Jin was about to pick up a Canadian scallop but before she reached to it, food tongs reached over sideways and took away the scallop.
She turned and found Nian Junting standing by her side holding a dish with one hand. On his dish were two to-go boxes, one for desserts, one for snacks. While getting food, he was also talking on the phone, “Luo, I got you a scallop. What else do you want? Up to me? Alright, I’ll get you a little of everything… Wait for me. I’ll be home soon.”
He put the tongs on the table, then put the phone back into his trouser pocket. After that, he turned, looked at Mo Jin and said, “Ms. Morrison, what a small world.”
Mo Jin raised her eyebrows, looked at the food in his dish and stayed silent. Nian Junting carefully observed her eyes and face. He licked his tongue silently. He hadn’t paid too much attention to her face yesterday but today, as he looked closely, he found that she looked a lot like Luosang. He should have noticed it earlier.
“I’m sorry for taking your scallop. My girlfriend loves them too,” he said.
“Are you guys living together?” Mo Jin asked.
“Yeah.” Nian Junting picked up the tongs and continued taking food. Meanwhile he said, “She didn’t have a mother and her father isn’t with her. She was out there all alone. I was really worried about her. Last time, she was suddenly ill with a fever and her roommate wasn’t in the city. No one was there to take care of her. So this summer vacation, I asked her to move in with me.”
Hearing him mention that Luosang was once ill, Mo Jin felt heartache. Without her, Luosang must have suffered a lot of pain and bitterness.
Detecting the upset look which clearly showed in her eyes, Nian Junting now firmly believed that she was Luosang’s mother. Taking too much might get her suspicious, so he started picking a dessert.
“I don’t think we’re allowed to take the food away,” Mo Jin reminded him.
At a formal dinner party like this, most of the guests would follow the rules.
All the people who were invited to this kind of place were rich and high-status. They would rarely pack the food and take it away.
“I know, but my girlfriend really has a good appetite. Later, I’ll tell the host of the party about this. He’s a friend of mine,” Nian Junting said while packing food. “She can finish four boxes of food like these easily.”
Mo Jin didn’t respond. She had a good appetite herself, but she was still surprised by how much her daughter could eat.
“Previously, something bad happened in her family. For a whole year, she could only afford tofu and cabbages. So after that, her appetite got better and better.”
Nian Junting sighed, “When I learned about her past, I swore that I’d give her all the best food in the world.”
Tofu and cabbages…
Mo Jin felt sadder and sadder.
“Mr. Nian, since you care so much about your girlfriend, I guess you’ll get married very soon, right?”
“Of course. We were going to marry earlier this year, but we had to postpone because of her father. I really want to marry her right now.” Nian Junting sighed. “In fact, Luoxi originally belonged to my girlfriend’s family. I was going to buy it out and then give it to her as our wedding gift. However, you got it first. For that reason, I had a bad attitude towards you. Ms. Morrison, I wonder if you would be willing to sell the company to me? You can name the price.”
“Would you even pay twenty billion for it?” Mo Jin asked.
Nian Junting thought for a moment with a frown, then nodded and said, “Even though Luoxi isn’t worth that price now, I can raise its market value to twenty billion in two years.”
“Mr. Nian, you are very confident.” Mo Jin gave a faint smile. Then said, “But in a not-so-good way, you’re arrogant.”
“You can call people incapable, but for me… I’m just confident,” Nian Junting wore a proud look.
Mo Jin shook her head with a smile and said, “Anyone with your family background will have the courage to be as reckless as you.”
“You are wrong. I earned what I have all by myself,” Nian Junting said carelessly. “Besides, I’m afraid that the Zhong Zhou group is going to have a big problem in five years unless they adjust their management mode.”
A gentle voice was heard from the side. “Junting, it’s inappropriate for you to say bad things about your mother’s management mode behind her back, isn’t it?”
Nian Junting turned that way and saw Nian Qingshan walk over, wearing a good suit and holding a glass of wine. He was over fifty years old but he still always looked outstandingly handsome in a crowd.
However, Nian Junting wasn’t happy to see him in the current situation.
“Uncle, you’re here too,” he said.
“Yeah. How long’s it been since you last returned to the Nian Family?” Nian Qingshan accused him. “Your grandmother mentions your name every single day. What about you? You only visit them once a month. Your grandpa is very angry. He said that you do nothing but spend time with Xu Luosang. He likes her less and less. He even said that he’ll never allow her to become a member of the Nian Family.”
Nian Junting’s face turned dark. He couldn’t help but glance at Mo Jin and found her pulling a long face. Was his uncle here to ruin his plan?
“Uncle, please tell Grandpa that I have already decided to marry Luosang. If he disagrees, I’d choose Luosang over the Nian Family. I have plenty of properties anyway. Also, since he dislikes Luosang so much, I’ll just celebrate my thirtieth birthday with my grandparents on my mom’s side. They like Luosang very much.”
“How can you do that?” Nan Qingshan glared at him and said, “Your grandma has prepared a gift for you. Are you going to break her heart?”
“Uncle, I’m really busy here. I’m getting food for my Sangsang. Leave me alone,” Nian Junting said, then turned and carefully picked more food.
Nian Qingshan clicked his tongue and said, “What’s so good about Xu Luosang? Look at you. You haven’t married her yet but you’ve already become like a slave to her.”
Nian Junting responded quickly, “Everything about her is good. She has a great personality, a pretty face, a good body, she’s good at cooking. Even her hair is perfect. I even like her blood type and star sign.”
The expression on Mo Jin’s face turned slightly better.
“Mr. Nian, excuse me. Have a good talk with your uncle.” After saying that, she turned and left.
“Who’s that?” Nian Qingshan looked at her back and asked.
Nian Junting was very unhappy. He had prepared a long speech to show Mo Jin his outstanding business knowledge, yet Nian Qingshan suddenly showed up and interrupted him.
“Uncle, didn’t I tell you to leave me alone?” He said in an unfriendly tone, then started ignoring Nian Qingshan.
