Chapter 344: The Bastard Is Here Again

“Grandma, there isn’t much news about Aunt recently, should we inform her?” Mo Jinrong asked.
“You’ll have to ask him yourself. After all, she has been married to Changwen for more than 30 years and she has a son. Ever since the incident, I heard that the child had become depressed and introverted. It’s all my fault.”
Old Mrs. Mo took the responsibility again. As the saying goes, the fault of the father is the fault of the children. Since her husband passed away, the responsibility was naturally hers.
Suddenly, the young housekeeper hurried in.
“Old Mrs. Mo, Young Master, there’s trouble. The woman who caused trouble the other time is here with her child again. She is making a fuss at the door, yelling that she wants to enter. We couldn’t stop her.”
“That bastard? How unlucky!”
Old Mrs. Mo didn’t even want to look at them, but they appeared in front of her. Aren’t they just here to annoy her?
“Let them in.”
‘Mo Jinrong wanted to see what they were up to.
The moment he finished speaking, the two of them rushed in with miserable expressions.
Liu Fang wore tattered clothes and was covered in dirt when she walked in. She started to cry when she saw Old Mrs. Mo.
“Mom! I know we were in the wrong last time, so please take us in. Changwen is in prison and I don’t have any abilities, so I can’t support Yuze at all. This child is still young and is in the midst of studying. Look at how skinny he has become.
He is the flesh and blood of the Mo Family and it doesn’t matter how much you don’t like me, please accept him as your grandson.”
“What a joke! These past few days, I thought you ran away with your son because you despised my son’s imprisonment. Now, you know how to beg me? Weren’t you the one who cursed me to die? I said it before, the Mo Family only has Mo Jinrong and Mo Yang. An illegitimate son isn’t worthy to enter the Mo
Family.”
Old Mrs. Mo had a disgusted expression on her face and wanted to chase them away.
‘Mo Jinrong’s gaze landed on Mo Yuze.
He seemed to be about ten years old. Although he was disheveled and had a dirty appearance, his arrogant attitude was still there and there was an air of cockiness in his bones.
“Are you Mo Yuze? Why aren’t you saying anything?” Mo Jinrong asked.
“My dad said that I shouldn’t bow my head and beg for mercy.”
“You child, it’s already so late, why are you still listening to your father? If you don’t plead, we wont even be able to eat.”
Liu Fang hit his head and reproached him.
“Grandma! In my opinion, we should give them some money and let them lead a good life. After all, they are Uncle’s children and we can’t treat them poorly. Grandma, if you really don’t like it, treat it as a form of financial support for impoverished children and that way we can do some good deeds.” Lan
Anran persuaded Old Mrs. Mo.
In her past life, she didn’t have much interaction with the mother and son, she only heard that Mo Changwen had an illegitimate child and didn’t pay much attention to it. Now that she saw that the child was still young, it would be a pity if he really became a beggar.
Old Mrs. Mo thought about it and agreed. After all, he was Mo Changwen’s son. Although she didn’t like him, what’s done is done.
“Theard that he bought you a house, it’s in Xu Pei’s neighborhood. I can give you a sum of money. You can use this money to raise your child well. Changwen has committed such a serious crime, he probably won’t be able to come back. From now on, you can do whatever you want. However, you are not
allowed to step foot in here again, and you are not allowed to do anything outside the law under the Mo Family’s name.”
Liu Fang came over today to beg Old Mrs. Mo to accept her son, but she didn’t expect her to be so stubborn. Since she was going to give her a sum of money, it would be wasteful if she didn’t accept it.
Previously, when Mo Changwen was around, Liu Fang could have whatever she wanted. Now that the family was in trouble, she could only give in. After all, it was always good to have a son by her side.
She nodded in agreement.
Old Mrs. Mo got Nanny Wu to take out a cheque and she wrote down eight zeros, giving it to Liu Fang.
“This string of numbers is enough to last you for the rest of your life. I’m not giving you this sum of money for you to squander, but to raise your child well and make him an outstanding person. If you spend this money early, the Mo Family will definitely not give you any more money. You’re on your own
now.”
Old Mrs. Mo felt that she had done all she could and it was her bottom line not to accept him into the Mo Family.
Liu Fang looked at the string of zeros and was surprised. Mo Changwen had never given her so much money.
“Thank you, Old Mrs. Mo. Is Changwen really not coming back?”
She had some extravagant hopes that Mo Changwen would treat her really well.
“He has committed such a serious crime, do you think his life is equivalent to those several lives? If you’re willing, you can wait. If not, you can find another family. This has nothing to do with the Mo Family, you can leave.”
Old Mrs. Mo spoke expressionlessly.
Mo Yuze stared at his high and mighty grandmother the entire time. The look in his eyes wasn’t one of hope for familial love, but one of extreme coldness.
Old Mrs. Mo saw that the child had an unfriendly gaze, which made her uncomfortable.
“Let’s go, Yuze!”
Liu Fang pulled Mo Yuze and turned to leave.
Lan Anran saw that the child’s eyes had a cold emotion mixed in with disappointment and sadness. She was a little upset, it was the same feeling as being abandoned in her past life.
She used to think that everyone was hurting her and didn’t love her, which was why she did so many hurtful things.
“Mo Yuze, your world doesn’t lack without us. There will always be some people who will love you. Even if they aren’t us, you have to have kindness in your heart.”
Lan Anran suddenly called out to him and said her thoughts.
‘Mo Yuze was stunned for a few seconds before he was dragged away by Liu Fang.
“Why did you say that to him?”
Mo Jinrong was very curious, Lan Anran didn’t seem like the type of person to say such things.
“In the past, when I was sent to the countryside, I would often wonder if my parents didn’t love me and that was why they treated me like this. My gaze was identical to his, but later on, I gradually understood that they didn’t have a choice.
‘When I saw him today, it was like seeing myself. I was a little touched.”
Lan Anran spoke sincerely.
“Anran, you are a kind child. Grandma knows that he is innocent, but he can’t enter the Mo Family. In the past, because of Mo Shengli, Grandma hated mistresses the most. I have already accepted an illegitimate child. I don’t have the magnanimity to accept another one.”
Old Mrs. Mo knew that it hurt a child to not allow them into the family, but she couldn’t get over it.
“Grandma, I understand, you don’t have to blame yourself. I don’t think they will cause trouble again in the future,” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Just then, there was news from the kitchen that the food was ready.
Due to the series of events that happened today, Old Mrs. Mo didn’t eat much and left the two of them at the dining table. After eating, Mo Jinrong prepared to send Lan Anran back.
‘Jinrong, do you think I can get into the Medical Research Institute?” Lan Anran asked deliberately.
Mo Jinrong nodded slightly.
‘Of course, remember to make an appointment with Zero for me..”
