Chapter 1622: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (95)
s.h.i.+ Jinyan fell silent upon hearing these words.
He recalled s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s unhappy expression and started to reflect on the matter. Had he been a little overprotective perhaps?
As he contemplated it, he heard sobbing coming from upstairs. “Sob, sob, sob.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was trying to suppress her tears.
s.h.i.+ Jinyan immediately caved in.
He got to his feet and coughed lightly.
–
Upstairs, in the meantime.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao glared at s.h.i.+ Xun and asked, “Big Brother, what’s the big deal? Why are you asking me to pretend to cry?”
s.h.i.+ Xun gave a cold snort and replied, “Well, do you want to go on your date tonight or not?”
She quickly replied, “Of course I want to! Big Brother, don’t you even know what I’m thinking? You were so stern all of a sudden and even agreed with Dad. He’ll just think he’s in the right!”
s.h.i.+ Xun laughed and said, “No, he won’t. Just you watch.”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was surprised. Then she heard footsteps coming upstairs.
s.h.i.+ Xun threw her a look as she quickly lowered her head and pretended to cry. “Big Brother, how could you do this? You’re awful! I’m a grown adult and I have the right to date! You can’t be so overprotective!”
s.h.i.+ Xun snorted and replied, “So what if I’m overprotective? I’m telling you, I’m not letting you out of the house today!”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao: …
s.h.i.+ Nianyao was about to say something in protest when s.h.i.+ Jinyan coughed and interrupted. “Fine, enough already. Nianyao, come out here. I’m going to the supermarket to get a few things, come with me!”
s.h.i.+ Nianyao got to her feet.
s.h.i.+ Xun cleared his throat and insisted, “Dad, we just agreed that we’re not letting her out of the house.”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan glared at him and replied, “You’re worried about her going out with me?”
“It’s not that.” s.h.i.+ Xun nodded and continued, “After all, you’re part of the family, I’m sure you’ll watch over her.”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan nodded and said, “Don’t worry.”
Following this, he threw s.h.i.+ Nianyao a look..
Immediately, she followed him obediently.
The two of them left the house and got into the car. After they drove away and the villa was some way behind them, they saw Mo Xicheng’s car in the distance. He was standing next to the car and leaning against it, looking in the villa’s direction. He had a bouquet of flowers in his hand and looked as though he wasn’t going anywhere until he could see his love.
s.h.i.+ Nianyao’s eyes lit up and she turned around, saying, “Dad.”
s.h.i.+ Jinyan, unable to resist her spoiled antics, finally said, “Off you go now.”
The girl gave her father a hug at once and said, “Dad, among everyone at home, you’re the best! I love you, Daddy.”
She jumped out of the car and ran to Mo Xicheng.
s.h.i.+ Jinyan: …
Oddly, in the past, when no one had opposed their relations.h.i.+p, he had harboured all sorts of negative opinions about this young man and had made all sorts of objections. Yet now he realized that he no longer felt that way.
Especially when s.h.i.+ Nianyao had said, “Dad, among everyone at home, you’re the best!”
Even though he knew very well that s.h.i.+ Nianyao was flattering him, he felt good hearing it.
At this thought, that conundrum that he had been having for so long suddenly vanished.

In that very same moment, Mo Hai was sorting out the share distribution.
As the lawyer drafted the agreement, he suddenly caught sight of something on the internet. He immediately looked up in shock at Mo Hai and said, “Mr. Mo, bad news. Mr. Mo Zhi has filed a lawsuit against you, to fight you for part of your estate. Hence, all a.s.sets under your name have been frozen and we cannot transfer any shares.”
