Chapter 392: You and Jingshen Can Give Birth to a Granddaughter for Me as Soon as Possible
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Oh my G.o.d, you finally called me!”
As soon as Auntie Chen picked up her call, she hurriedly a say with a sigh, “Grandfather Mo called you for a whole day yesterday, but he couldn’t reach you, so he came straight to the Yu Garden last night, only to find that you and Mr. Mo were not here. We didn’t dare to tell him much and just told him you and Mr. Mo had been very busy recently, but he probably found something was wrong between you and Mr. Mo, so he left in anger. He returned to the Mo family today but asked me to tell you to visit him immediately as soon as I reach you.”
Ji Nuan had seen many missed calls and guessed that they were probably from Grandfather Mo. Hearing Auntie Chen’s words, she felt even more guilty.
After returning from America, she and Mo Jingshen hadn’t returned to the Mo family.
“My studio is about to be relocated, so I’ve been busy recently and have paid little attention to my family…”
“Well, Mr. Mo hasn’t been back to the Yu Garden recently, which I didn’t dare to tell the Grandfather Mo, but we can’t keep it from him all the time. You’d better go back to the Mo family, Madam. Not only did he fail to find you, but he also did not get through to Mr. Mo. He was really mad…”
Ji Nuan looked at the time at once. “I will find time to go to the Mo family this afternoon. Did Grandpa say anything before he left?”
“He didn’t say anything but just told you two to go back to the Mo family.”
“All right, I understand.”
For so long, Grandfather Mo had been treating her very nicely and doting on her, but she hadn’t gone back to the Mo family since she came back to China. It was not that she didn’t miss Grandfather Mo, but that Mo Jingshen wouldn’t go back with her, so she couldn’t go back alone. It would arouse suspicion if she were left alone because they showed up together all the time before. After all, there wasn’t only Grandfather Mo in the Mo family, the relatives of the Mo family also frequented the Mo family a lot.

Ji Nuan went back to the studio, changed her clothes, and drove straight to the Mo family lest Grandfather Mo would be angry for too long.
It took her an hour from Jin Lin Building to the Mo family. When she arrived at the Mo family, Ji Nuan gave Auntie Chen a call and asked her to rest a.s.sured.
After getting out of the car, Ji Nuan found that Grandfather Mo was waiting for her in the front yard.
With a bright smile, Ji Nuan walked in with the boxes of tonics she had bought on the way.
Grandfather Mo immediately stepped out when he saw that she came alone. He looked at her up and down and then looked behind her. With a look of discontent and unhappiness on his face, he said crossly, “Why doesn’t Jingshen come back with you?”
“The Mo Corporation is about to merge with s.h.i.+ne. With a lot of jobs to do, he is very busy. I’m busy these days too. I just saw the missed calls from you on my cell phone, so I hurried back to see you,” Ji Nuan said, coming forward and taking Grandfather Mo’s arm with a smile. “Grandpa, people of our age are usually busy. You should understand it. I guess you must have worked harder than us when you were young. If we don’t work hard when we are young, how can we live as leisurely as you when we are old?”
Grandfather Mo snorted. “Don’t talk to me as if you have honey in your mouth. I went to the Yu Garden last night, but neither you nor Jingshen was there. I asked Auntie Chen and she only said that you were busy recently. All right, you can be busy, but how can you be so busy that you don’t even have time to come back to see me for months? I’m old and have one foot in the grave, but I’m not in a coffin yet. How can you just forget about me so early?”
“You are destined to live for more than a hundred years. I know you’re angry, but please don’t curse yourself! Auntie Chen is right. We are just too busy…” Ji Nuan said, all smiles.
Still angry, Grandfather Mo didn’t speak anymore but just took her to the living room. The servant served the tea and Grandfather Mo, still looking unhappy, sat down.
Ji Nuan handed the tonic in her hand to the servant, looked around but didn’t find the butler Uncle Ou whom she often saw here. She asked curiously, “Where is Uncle Ou? Why is he not here?”
“He broke his leg and will come back in two months.” Grandfather Mo complained,” After he left, I don’t even have anyone to play chess with. You and Jingshen stayed out so long but didn’t even come to visit me when you finally came back!”
Looking at Grandfather Mo, who looked as angry as a little kid without candy, Ji Nuan suppressed a laugh and crouched beside his legs, gently pounding on his leg with her fists and saying, “It’s all our fault. In the future, even if Jingshen is too busy to come to see you, I will come back to accompany you more!”
“Hmph.” Grandfather Mo snorted and turned his head aside, still looking unhappy.
Ji Nuan continued to pound on his legs gently. “All right, don’t be angry, Grandpa. I know I’m wrong. I promise I’ll miss you every day!”
Being coaxed by her for a while, Grandfather Mo finally smiled. He looked down at her smiling eyes. “Is there anything wrong between you and Jingshen?”
Ji Nuan kept the smile on her face and said lightly, “What problem can we have?”
Grandfather Mo stared at her, pressed her hand that was gently pounding on his legs, and patted the back of her hand with his wrinkled hand. “Girl, if Jingshen bullies you, just tell me.”
“I know. I will tell you if anything goes wrong between us. Please don’t worry. We are fine.”
“Did you spend the Spring Festival in Shaoze’s home when you were in Los Angeles a few months ago?”
“Um, yes.”
“Have you met Jingshen’s mother?”
“Yes, she is a very kind person and very nice to me. Grandpa, you really don’t have to worry about us. We’re fine wherever we are. All we want is that you have good health!”
Ji Nuan looked at Grandfather Mo with her head up, and her innocent eyes wide open like a lovely little deer. Looking at her, Grandfather Mo smiled and patted her on the head. “That’s very sweet of you, Nuan Nuan. It’s said that a daughter is a little cotton coat close to parents. If you and Jingshen can give birth to a granddaughter for me as soon as possible, I think I can live for another twenty or thirty years.”
“Then accompany us for several decades. With an old darling like you at home, everyone envies us.”
Amused by her words, Grandfather Mo took a sip of his tea and told her to sit down and not to squat there.
Ji Nuan found out when she got here today that the Mo family was not as lively as it used to be. She talked with Grandfather Mo for a while, and it was already dark. “Have aunts and uncles not been here lately? And all the other relatives I normally meet here, why aren’t they here today?” she asked before she left.
