The gift was an alb.u.m that included all of the photographs of happy moments of Mo Yinan and Song Zhilian"s life starting from their childhood until the few days before Mo Yinan"s death. There were some pictures which had been lost by Song Zhilian and she had put great efforts to find them but to no avail. However, now she seemed to understand why her efforts had gone in vain because this mischievous brat had stolen it.
Immediately Song Zhilian shot an unhappy look at her grandson.
While Mo Lingtan had an innocent look and he innocently asked "What? You don"t like it? Lee Xuiye had put a lot of effort into making this alb.u.m. Nevermind! Since you don"t like it, I will take it back…"
Mo Lingtan extended his hand to take the alb.u.m back but Song Zhilian slapped his hand away and put the alb.u.m near to her chest as if it was a precious treasure for her.
Well, it was indeed a precious treasure for her and that was why Mo Lingtan had made Lee Xuiye give this gift to Song Zhilian with a clear intention to bring Lee Xuiye and the Mo Family close.
Moreover, no one else was better than Song Zhilian to be the first and most important person from the Mo Family.
If Song Zhilian would agree with him for making Lee Xuiye as his wife, then Mo Lingtan"s eighty percent effort had paid off.
As far as the rest of the twenty percent which was related to his sister, Mo Xingjuan and his mother, Su Qianlian would eventually agree as long as Song Zhilian would agree.
Then what about Mo Mushan, his father?
Well, Mo Lingtan knew that his father would never agree with his decision on marrying Lee Xuiye unless and until she would bring some benefit to the Mo Family. Moreover, for Mo Mushan, only Zhou Ziyao was qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Mo Family because she would bring great benefit to Mu Mushan.
Since Mo Mushan didn"t put his son, Mo Lingtan"s, happiness on a priority then why should Mo Lingtan bother about Mo Mushan"s career?
Moreover, Mo Mushan already failed as a father, so there was no need for Mo Lingtan to look for his father"s opinion regarding his marriage.
Unfortunately, Mo Lingtan didn"t know that Mo Mushan had played a big role in his break up with Lee Xuiye.
Well, it would be interesting to see what would happen when Mo Lingtan got to know what Mo Mushan had done to him or to be more specific to his relations.h.i.+p with Lee Xuiye.
Meanwhile, come back to the present life.
"I have been searching for it for the last five years!" Song Zhilian had unhappily complained.
"Why should I suffer alone?" Mo Lingtan meaningfully said which only Song Zhilian had understood.
"Then why did you give it now?" Song Zhilian asked.
"You are a smart person, nothing comes for free in this world." Mo Lingtan replied back.
The conversation that happened between grandmother and grandson was in the code words which n.o.body could understand, not even Lee Xuiye and that was why she had a big question mark look on her face.
Whereas, the meaning behind this conversation was very simple. This alb.u.m was not only precious to Song Zhilian but also to Mo Lingtan.
As for Song Zhilian, Mo Yinan was an important person, but for Mo Lingtan both Mo Yinan and Song Zhilian were important people besides Lee Xuiye as they were a father and mother figure for him.
They had fulfilled the duties which he and Mo Xingjuan had expected from their parents, Mo Mushan and Qi Qiaolian.
Since he had broken up with Lee Xuiye, this alb.u.m was the only thing left with him to make him happy by recalling the happy past memories with his grandparents.
However, now Mo Lingtan had decided to give this alb.u.m which was also a precious treasure to him to Song Zhilian only in consideration that Song Zhilian would happily agree to accept Lee Xuiye as the Mo Family"s daughter-in-law and help him to live a life like Mo Yinan and Song Zhilian had like a couple.
Song Zhilian had understood all these things and would happily agree to accept Lee Xuiye as the Mo Family"s daughter-in-law, but since Mo Lingtan had shown the audacity by stealing her precious treasure. Song Zhilian had decided to make things difficult for him, just a slight bit, after all, he also made her suffer by stealing her precious treasure!
Therefore, Song Zhilian said with an evil smile on her face "Nothing comes easily in life!"
Mo Lingtan frowned as he didn"t understand Song Zhilian"s intention
Thereafter, she stood up and continued talking with Lee Xuiye "Lee Xuiye...I am really happy to see you after such a long time. In fact, you won"t believe it but…. I am surprised to see you here. Although Lingtan and I made a bet that he will make you his wife in six months, I really didn"t expect that he would be so fast that in fifteen days, he would bring you here to meet us."
Lee Xuiye frowned and looked towards Mo Lingtan and as expected, his face had turned ugly as he didn"t expect that Song Zhilian would tell Lee Xuiye about their bet!
He immediately started worrying because if Lee Xuiye"s thoughts would run wild, things would get really difficult for him.
And sure enough, Lee Xuiye"s thoughts had run wild!
Bet?
Mo Lingtan had made a bet with Song Zhilian to marry her in six months.
What was she to him?
A thing? Just a toy for him to play with as he pleased?
Does he have no regard that she is a person with feelings and a soul?
How can he even say he loves her if this was all she amounted to in his eyes?
Now, Lee Xuiye had understood why Mo Lingtan had asked her to come to this party in exchange for helping her to be a brand amba.s.sador with w.a.n.g Yeyi in Shaan Industries...
