Chapter 42 - Whose Life Is Harder?
Chapter 42: Whose Life Is Harder?
“Uncle, why are you suddenly here?”
Mo Jinrong buttoned his shirt with both hands, sat down, and crossed his legs.
“Jinrong, don’t say that. I went to the hospital to see you and the doctor said that you had left. Why didn’t you wait for me? I went to see your mom, but she said she didn’t know anything. Everyone was worried, but you didn’t say a word. What is the meaning of this?” Mo Changwen reproached him.
“Uncle, since my body is fine, it’s natural that I’d leave. I had a lot to do and couldn’t wait for you.”
Mo Jinrong smiled.
“Jinrong, we’re just concerned about you. I won’t say anything if you’re pretending in front of outsiders, but why are you pretending in front of us? If you’re really ill, you can’t just stay put. We need you!” Mo Changwen said.
“Uncle, is that why you’re here today?” Mo Jinrong’s voice was cold.
“I heard that you are going to marry the young lady of the Lan Family. Is that true?” Mo Changwen probed.
“It really has nothing to do with you, Uncle. Is there something that bothers you?”
Mo Jinrong smiled.
He had always suspected that his previous five wives were murdered by Mo Changwen, but he didn’t have any evidence.
In fact, he didn’t intend to marry any of the five wives. His mother thought that he should have an heir for the Mo Family, so she forced him to marry, but it just so happened that all of them died. It was too much of a coincidence.
After his wife died, there were rumors that he jinxed her. Mo Changwen had always coveted everything in the Mo Family and he was the biggest suspect.
“Nonsense! I did not do anything to her, your wife has nothing to do with me. Jinrong, I advise you to be careful. I’m your uncle, how could I harm you? It’s just that I heard that the young lady of the Lan Family isn’t a kind person.” Mo Changwen spoke seriously.
“Oh? Uncle, you know of her?”
Mo Jinrong didn’t care.
“Miss Lan will jinx her husband. Legend has it that when she was born, the house was in chaos and countless chickens and ducks died. Even Old Master Lan’s health wasn’t good and the Lan Family’s business plummeted. I don’t know if she had anything to do with Old Master Lan’s death a few years ago, but are you sure you want such a person to be the Mo Family’s young mistress?” Mo Changwen spoke alarmingly.
“I don’t care, I also seem to be a jinx to my wives anyway. It’ll depend on whose life is tougher.”
Mo Jinrong smiled.
“Jinrong, you have to think for your mom. The entire Mo Family will have to depend on you, you can’t do this!” Mo Changwen spoke sincerely.
“Uncle, if you’re here today to promote superstition, then please leave. I have a lot to do and don’t have time for you!”
Mo Jinrong stood up and turned to go upstairs.
“Mo Jinrong, I tried to persuade you, but you won’t listen. You’ll regret it when the time comes!”
Mo Changwen glanced at Mo Jinrong angrily.
He eyed Mo Jinrong and had a bad feeling. How did he get better so quickly?
“Mo San, see this guest out!”
Mo Jinrong went upstairs.
“Mr. Mo, this way please!” Mo San spoke politely.
“Hmph! Ignorant fool!”
Mo Changwen buttoned his shirt and strode off.
It seemed like he would have to give him a few more women to try!
After Mo Changwen left, Mo Jinrong sat in the study room, his mind racing.
“Young Master, why do you think Mr. Mo was here today?” Mo San asked.
“Why else? He’s here to see if I’m really feeling better, but I don’t think he believed me today. Help me hold him back for the next few days. I’m afraid he’ll find some people to test me like before,” Mo Jinrong reminded him.
Mo Changwen had given him many women in the past. If Mo San hadn’t stopped him, he would have ascended to heaven and seen the King of Hell. Mo Changwen probably couldn’t wait to see him die after living for so long.
“Young Master, Miss Lan should be the one to do this. It’s most reasonable for her to do so,” Mo San suggested.
Wasn’t it normal for the wife to fend off any lurking women?
Mo Jinrong nodded. That made sense, and it was time to find her and talk.
“Is there news from Rong Ze?”
Mo Jinrong suddenly remembered that he had a mission.
“Master Ze just sent a message saying that the fish has taken the bait and is waiting for you to start the game.”
Mo San smiled.
“Xiang Tian is quite useful. Let’s spread the news that Xiang Tian is discussing a deal with someone in the Autumn Museum. Let’s see if we can lure in our target,” Mo Jinrong said.
Xiang Tian had never seen anyone before and this was the first time news was exposed, so it was inevitable that many people would come. If Q wanted to know whether the news was real or fake, he would definitely go and see for himself. When the time came, he could capture all of them and use money to buy them over.
“Yes, Young Master! But Q is so cunning, I’m afraid he won’t go by the rules so easily…”
Mo San was worried.
“Since he accepted it, it means that he is very interested in the 10 billion yuan. When the time comes, give him a higher price. Humans die for wealth while birds die for food. Who has a grudge against money?”
Mo Jinrong smiled as he picked up a cup of tea.
“Young Master, when are we going to see Miss Lan? I heard that her mother has been ill recently, should we visit her?” Mo San asked.
“Sick? Let’s go tomorrow.”
Mo Jinrong lifted the lid, blew on the tea, and took a sip.
