Li Mei did not expect him to come as soon as she finished speaking. She said excitedly, “Hurry up and invite him in. Tell the chef to make a table of good dishes today. I want to treat the guests to dinner.”
Seeing that Madam had rushed out to pick him up, Mo Shen slowly walked in and smiled. “h.e.l.lo, Auntie. I accepted An’an’s invitation to come previously, so I came to visit.”
Zhao Lan followed behind and greeted Li Mei. “h.e.l.lo, Auntie. I’m Mo Shen’s fiancee, Zhao Lan.”
Mo Shen didn’t want to explain anymore. It was too impolite to talk about breaking off the engagement in front of the elders.
He turned to look at the children and said, “These are An’an’s children, right?”
After saying that, he walked over to greet them. This was the first time Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi had encountered such a situation. The guests who came to their house were very warm to them, but Mo Shen was the first to greet them so solemnly.
This kind of attention made the two children very happy. They instantly fell in love with Mo Shen. Jiang Yu even reached out to let Mo Shen carry her.
Zou Bai didn’t expect Jiang Yu to fall in love with him so quickly. He stopped the child and said, “Uncle’s health isn’t good. We’ll let Uncle carry you next time.”
Mo Shen smiled and carried Jiang Yu over. “I’m not that weak yet. It’s fine because she’s so light.”
After hugging Jiang Yu, he reached out to carry Jiang Yi. He even carried him for about the same time. It was very fair and just. No one would think that he was biased.
On the other hand, Zhao Lan was very worried. She reached out and prepared to catch the child at any time, as if Mo Shen would collapse in the next second.
After Mo Shen put the children down, she heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Zhao Yan. “Brother, why are you here?”
“I came to Xiyun to deal with some matters, so I came to visit,” Zhao Yan said calmly.
Zhao Lan didn’t care what he wanted to do at all. As long as she didn’t hurt Mo Shen, it had nothing to do with her.
However, Zhao Yan just had to visit the Jiang family at this time, making people suspect that he had ulterior motives. They had never heard of him being so polite in the past. Other than the elders of the four great aristocratic families, he did not care about anyone else.
Li Mei let Mo Shen sit beside her. Looking at his thin and weak appearance, her heart ached. “You should rest at home. An’an told me about you. I’m so grateful that you took care of her at that time. Auntie is here to thank you.”
“I can’t say that I took care of her. At that time, I was abandoned by my family and had no will to survive. If not for An’an, I’m afraid I myself wouldn’t have lived to return.”
Mo Shen wasn’t exaggerating. At that time, he really didn’t want to live anymore. He felt that rather than waiting for death to come at any time, it was better to end himself first and be free.
However, just as he was about to leave, he met Jiang An, who was crying. He stopped in his tracks to comfort her, thinking that he should come back and check on her tomorrow. What if she was bullied again?
As the days pa.s.sed, he realized that he didn’t want to die that much. Moreover, he could leave all his a.s.sets to Jiang An. This way, she would have the confidence to leave home.
Death was no longer a fear to him. He was glad that his death would have some value.
Therefore, it was not that he had saved Jiang An, but that Jiang An had given him the courage to live.
When Jiang An heard Mo Shen’s words, she couldn’t believe it. She had always thought that she had received Big Brother’s help, but she didn’t expect that Big Brother also needed her.
Mo Shen smiled. “Now that An’an has returned to her real home and has a family, I’m really happy for her.”
When Li Mei heard this, she really liked Mo Shen even more. She patted his hand and said, “You can’t just rely on medicine to recuperate your body. It’s best to practice some body-strengthening martial arts. I have the contact information of a master in Beijing. When you go back, you can learn it.”
Hearing this, Mo Shen didn’t take it to heart. Zhao Lan quickly came over and said, “Thank you, Auntie. I’ll definitely look for these masters.”
What Zhao Lan was most worried about was Mo Shen’s body. Although he had woken up, the poison was still in his body. He was only alive because of the Mo family’s bloodline and pills.
The Mo Family doctor said that as time pa.s.sed, the poison would transform into energy in Mo Shen’s body. He would be immune to all poisons in the future.
However, Zhao Lan felt that she couldn’t wait until then. Looking at the sickly Mo Shen, her heart ached. She wouldn’t let go of any method that would make him healthy.
She was really grateful to Li Mei now. If Mo Shen could recover, she would even kneel and kowtow to her.
The chef quickly prepared lunch. Li Mei called everyone to the dining room to eat. Jiang An asked Aunt Sang and the others to bring the children elsewhere to eat. The food of adults had too much salt and sugar for them..
