Chapter 4: The overbearing patriarch fell in love with me (Part 2)
At night.
When the door was knocked, He Yan was rummaging through the closet. When it comes to clothing, Mo Tiangao and his wife didn’t let Mo Qi lack anything. After all, the cost of clothing, food, shelter and transportation was all deducted from his own credit card. Although the clothes in the closet aren"t luxury items, but it"s also from famous big brands. The texture is very good and the style is also very novel. Hearing the knock on the door, He Yan randomly picked a white long-sleeved shirt with black and white diamond pattern on the hem and threw it on the bed.
Mo Lanyu came in with a gla.s.s of milk.
He Yan looked at Mo Lanyu"s white long-sleeved shirt with a familiar diamond pattern on the hem and he became silent for a while.
He almost forgot, his credit card is still in the hands of Chen Cuiwei. Whenever his good aunt bought clothes for him, she will always "conveniently" use his credit card to buy a bunch of clothes for Mo Lanyu. The original host was raised innocently and weakly, he never raised any objections to Chen Cuiwei"s behaviour.
Mo Qi’s character has always been dull, Mo Lanyu also didn"t care about his silence. What"s more, she still has some words to ask Mo Qi. She placed the milk on the desk and walked to the bedside to sit beside him. She turned her head sideways and gave a gentle smile to the boy, softly asking: "Little Qi, how is your body?"
Not good, really not good.
He Yan sneered in his heart.
He is a person with a strong sense of territoriality. Chen Cuiwei"s act of taking Mo Qi"s —— now his money, to buy Mo Lanyu and him the same clothes made him feel extremely disgusted.
And...from the looks of it now, Mo Lanyu can live in Mo Qi"s house and wear clothes bought using his money with a complete peace of mind*, I am afraid that she isn"t as pure and kind as she usually shows.
*feel at ease and justified; have no qualms of conscience
He Yan isn"t the original idiotic host who will say he"s fine when he isn"t. In fact, when he"s unhappy, he usually wants others to be unhappy too, especially if other person is also the culprit who made him unhappy. So with a weak face, he spat out one word: "Unwell."
Mo Lanyu blanked for a while.
What happened? Mo Qi wasn"t like this before. He has always been very trouble-free. Even when he"s hospitalized, he will say that he"s very well and won"t let the elders worry, this can be counted as one of his few good points.
Is the illness very serious this time?
Although her senses tells her that she should now leave to let Mo Qi take a proper rest, but her heart is already fully occupied by the tall figure of a man. After a bit of hesitation, she decided to disturb Mo Qi for a while.
Although Mo Yitao is the head of the Mo family, he isn"t very close to other Mo family members except for the main family. For Mo Yitao to visit Mo Qi for two consecutive days, it"s very rare. While envious of Mo Qi, she also had some hidden expectations in her heart.
Mo Qi and Mo Yitao never met each other before, could it be that because of her, Mo Yitao showed a different kind of attention towards her cousin?
Although that kind of possibility is almost impossible, but once hope is rooted in the heart, it"s difficult to crush.
"Little Qi, do you still remember that big brother who came to see you today?" Mo Lanyu raised a warm smile again.
"......" Big brother. He Yan really felt that with Mo Yitao"s age, he can be his uncle.
He nodded.
"That big brother said something to you," Mo Lanyu smiled more tenderly: "Can you tell big sister?"
When she walked out of the hospital, she began to regret it. This Xiao Di always relied on Mo Yitao to abuse his power and bully others. In those years, some of the Mo family members that gave Mo Yitao difficulties were all made almost completely bankrupted. When they went to Mo Yitao to beg for peace, Mo Yitao himself didn"t say anything. His a.s.sistant, Xiao Di, cursed and berated them, extremely unforgiving. This isn"t her first day knowing what kind of person Xiao Di is, why impulsively leave because of a moment of anger and loose the opportunity to talk to Mo Yitao.
"Well, he said..." He Yan slowly opened his mouth.
Mo Lanyu"s eyes brightened and she looked at him with antic.i.p.ation.
He Yan kept a calm look: "....I should pay attention to my body."
Right, these words are always said when visiting the sick... Mo Lanyu asked again, "Did he say anything else?"
He Yan shook his head.
The smile on Mo Lanyu"s face became a little stiff.
She"s really somewhat disappointed, did Mo Yitao really not mention her?
Then again, that man already made a name for himself, she is still a little girl in his eyes.
However, she is confident. The previous loss in the stock market was intentionally misled by someone. This lesson has also served as a reminder. Next, she will not prepare to step into the muddy waters of stock market again, she will prepare do to business instead, starting with information technology. The information industry is Mo"s main field of business, if she can make some achievements in this area, it will definitely make Mo Yitao see her in a new light.
Now she just need a start-up capital to be given to her, she believes that she can make a beautiful turnaround in two years.
But forget about what start-up capital for now, her family"s debt is still unpaid. Mo Lanyu is a little anxious.
Thinking up to this point, Mo Lanyu’s heart moved, she heared from her parents that Mo Qi"s parents left him a huge amount of property when they pa.s.sed away. Can she borrow some money from Mo Qi first....Mo Lanyu looked thoughtfully at the boy sitting quietly on the bed. The boy also coincidently lifted his head and looked her. They sullenly stared at each other for a brief moment. Her heart couldn"t help but jumped and she forced down the thoughts in her heart.
Forget it, seeing the degree of importance Mo Qi attached to his parents, he definitely won"t agree to lend her the properties that his parents left behind. Moreover... she doesn"t know how long Mo Yitao"s attention to Mo Qi will last. If Mo Yitao found out that she borrowed money from her cousin, that man will definitely think that she wants to covet Mo Qi"s inheritance. She isn"t that kind of person, nor does she want that man to develop such misunderstandings about her.
"Okay, won"t bother you anymore, quickly rest." Disappointed in her heart, Mo Lanyu patted the boy"s thin shoulder. "Remember to drink the milk before going to bed."
After the door closed, He Yan did not hesitate to take off the shirt that was patted by Mo Lanyu, throwing it into the trash can with the diamond patterned long-sleeved shirt. G.o.d knows how much effort he just used to control himself from taking away Mo Lanyu"s hand.
He then looked at the cup of steaming milk and chuckled.
Mo Qi had the habit of drinking milk before going to bed. After Chen Cuiwei found out, she intentionally asked Mo Lanyu to give him a cup of hot milk every night. The drug that cause blindness is also mixed into this milk every day.
He took the milk to the bathroom and poured it down toilet. He Yan who is left with only a pair of small white undershorts wrapped himself up in the quilt and slept.
