Chapter 65 - The Mysterious Guest
Chapter 65: The Mysterious Guest
Mo Yu sized up the man who stood at the door. He searched his memory but he had never seen this man before. This man came looking for Mo Li, I doubt it’s for anything good.
“Quan Yu… You fucking…” While Mo Yu was confused, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. Then his brother from the Xiao Family appeared before him, carrying bags, big and small.
Quan Yu, that bastard had me carry all these things after he cleaned out the supermarket. I shouldn’t have made the bet with him that the traffic police would let us go like that.
“Oh, Mo Yu, you’re here too?!” When Xiao Yuan saw the man standing at the door, he greeted with a bitter smile. Jesus, how unlucky can I get today? If there was something Xiao Yuan hated, it was to be around the space where both Mo Li and Mo Yu were present. He could already feel the headache coming as he imagined Mo Li stomping her feet in anger and Mo Yu countering with his caustic remarks.
Earlier, when they were at the supermarket, he asked Quan Yu if he knew Elder Mo, and was that why he wanted to come visit him? Quan Yu didn’t answer but as Xiao Yuan thought about it, he realized that was impossible. When Elder Mo was carving his legacy at the capital, Quan Yu wasn’t even born yet! So why was he buying so many things to visit Elder Mo?
Seeing that Mo Yu had been standing so long at the door, as the host, Elder Mo naturally exited his seat and went to join his grandson.
Xu Yan heard that the guest was here to find Mo Li and she instantly made the connection that it had to be the person from the phone earlier. That rejuvenated her and her mouth started to fire like a Gatling Gun, “Mo Li! What have you done that they have come to demand for an explanation in person? You’ve ruined a perfectly peaceful meal due to your actions!
“It’s one thing to create chaos at your own home but you should at least be more respectful of the fact that you’re at your grandparents’ place. Why would you bring these problems to them?
“You need to hurry to apologize to them before my Xiao Yu gets scolded on your behalf.”
In Xu Yan’s mind, Mo Li was an ignorant, unambitious, and brainless little girl. The call from earlier confirmed her impression of Mo Li.
Xu Yan did not expect that such a great opportunity would fall into her lap today. The wretched girl had offended someone and they had come to Elder Mo’s home to demand for her. Now she wanted to see how the two antiques would try to defend their precious granddaughter!
Regardless, it would lower their impression of Mo Li.
Elder Mo reached the door and he felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Quan Yu.
Xiao Yuan walked forward, “Grandpa, it’s me!”
“Xiao Yuan?!” Elder Mo was shocked. He didn’t expect the kid to visit him today. “You are welcome to visit me anytime but why did you bring so many things with you?” Elder Mo accepted the bags one after another. At the same time, he glanced confusedly at Xiao Yuan. Normally, when Xiao Yuan came to visit, he would come with the elders from Xiao Family, he rarely came without his parents like this.
On top of that, he had brought over with him another young man?!
What was happening…
“Grandpa, I’ve brought a friend to come visit you today. Is Li Li home?” Xiao Yuan pulled on Quan Yu’s arm to make the introduction.
“Come on in, come in first and then we can talk!” Elder Mo didn’t want the kids to stand there in the sun, so he invited them into the house.
Quan Yu walked in and looked around. He saw Xu Yan, Mo Li and Old Madam Mo who were seated at the dining table. He thought to himself, That mean-looking woman should be the one who said all those things earlier.
Quan Yu didn’t stand on ceremony, he found a seat and planted himself. Mo Li looked at him and frowned.
Before Elder Mo could say anything, Quan Yu looked at him and began, “My surname is Quan.”
Elder Mo was taken aback when he heard this, then he seemed to have thought of something. His face changed color as he stood there with a bewildered look in his eyes.
Quan Yu sat steadily on the chair. “The name is Quan Yu.” Then the young man reached out his palm, rolled it around and then pressed down. This was a simple gesture but it reminded Elder Mo of many past memories.
That was a hand gesture favored by the Master of the Quan Family when he wanted his subordinates to calm down or sit down. Like many others, Elder Mo worked under Old Master Quan when he was at the capital.
“So you’re the mysterious figure who has been causing a stir at Pearl River?”
“Mo Li! Look at you, you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble this time! One day, you’ll be the Mo Family’s undoing!”
