Everyone Has Four Skills

Chapter 37

Moving

The next morning, his mother went to the office to resign. Mo Xiu also woke up early to pack up and move.

However, when Mo Xiu looked around, there didn’t seem to be anything he wanted to take. It was just some old furniture. The new house was full of furniture left behind by the upper-class family.

It was not a problem to move there first. If there was anything he needed to change, he could buy it later on. There was really no need to move the things at home.

After tidying up, there were only some clothes and a backpack that his mother had packed yesterday. Thus, there were a total of two bags.

When his mother returned, they each took a backpack and left.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yi was ordered by Mr. Zheng to pick up Mo Xiu and Li Yuan. The three of them chatted for a while before arriving at their new home.

The new house was a small villa with a huge living room. There was a bathroom, a kitchen, and two guest rooms on the first floor. Meanwhile, there were three bedrooms and a study on the second floor. The decor was simple and was Mo Xiu’s favorite style.

Li Yuan entered the spacious new house with a calm expression as usual. She was not as excited as Mo Xiu had imagined.

Speaking of which, Mo Xiu had never seen his mother emotional before. She had always been so elegant and peaceful.

Li Yuan looked around briefly and said to Mo Xiu, “Son, thank you!”

Seeing that his mother was satisfied, Mo Xiu was relieved. He sat down on the sofa and said, “Mom, I’m your son. There’s no need to thank me.”

When Li Yuan saw Zheng Yi, who was standing at the side, she suddenly woke up and said, “Xiao Xiu, why didn’t you remind me? The two of us should have visited the Zheng family first. Let’s go!”

Zheng Yi said from the side, “Auntie, my dad said that there’s no need to rush over. My parents are at work today, so he asked me to accompany you. After you guys have settled down, please come over for dinner tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan nodded and started packing.

Mo Xiu wanted to help, but his mother arranged for him to accompany Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi was also helpless. He was here to help, but now, Li Yuan had arranged for Mo Xiu to accompany him.

There wasn’t much luggage anyway, so Mo Xiu left his mother to sort it out. Then, Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi sat in the living room and chatted.

However, Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi didn’t have much free time as Li Yuan wasn’t satisfied with the arrangement of some furniture.

The two of them went from being treated as VIPs to being laborers. The entire morning passed.

The villa Li Yuan had tidied up looked even grander. The furniture was placed naturally.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yi looked at Li Yuan in confusion. She was so talented that she could design a house for others.

After Li Yuan was done with her work, she said to Mo Xiu, “Xiao Xiu, Xiao Yi, that’s about it. I took a look, and saw that the furniture and decorations don’t need to be touched. We can just use them. We’re not unreasonable people after all. However, we still need to buy new bedding and bedroom necessities. Why don’t we go out and buy some?”

Zheng Yi was used to being unrestrained. He had been holding it in for the entire morning, so he immediately got up.

“Auntie, no problem. We’ll leave now!”

The three of them left in high spirits. Since it was already noon, they had a simple meal and headed straight to the shopping center.

Li Yuan said hesitantly, “Little Yi, we’re just buying some simple things. There’s no need to come here. The things sold here are a little expensive.”

Zheng Yi said casually, “Auntie, Mo Xiu has plenty of money now. Don’t worry.”

Mo Xiu also gave his mother a reassuring look.

As soon as Li Yuan entered the mall, she started picking out the things that she needed at home. Soon, she returned with a full load.

After that, Li Yuan proposed to buy some ingredients and gifts. After all, they were going to the Zheng family’s house for dinner. It was their first visit, so they should get something.

As soon as they started buying, another pile was formed. Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi, the two laborers, were all over the place.

When they were about to leave, they passed by a dress shop. Mo Xiu said, “Mom, you should buy one. After all, we have to go for dinner today.”

Li Yuan was a little hesitant. She had already spent a lot of Mo Xiu’s money. She didn’t want Mo Xiu to spend so much money on a dress. However, when she thought about going to the Zheng family’s house for a meal, she felt that it would be rude to dress too casually.

In the end, she was dragged in by Mo Xiu. Li Yuan did not like to show off and chose a simple black dress.

The shopping trip finally came to an end. The spoils of war filled Zheng Yi’s car to the brim.

When Li Yuan saw this situation, she felt a little embarrassed.

When they got home, the three of them packed up again. Once they were done, it was already 5 pm.

Zheng Yi said, “Auntie, my mom should be back by now. Should we go over?”

Li Yuan quickly put down her work and said, “Okay, we’ll go over now. Xiao Xiu, take the gifts and ingredients. We’ll go over to their house.”

The three of them arrived at the Zheng family’s house. Mrs. Zheng was also a very easygoing person. The moment she met Li Yuan, she started chatting. After chatting for a while, the two of them went to the kitchen to cook.

Meanwhile, Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi sat on the sofa in boredom.

Zheng Yi asked, “Mo Xiu, are you going to Yanjing University?”

“Yeah, I just texted them yesterday. How about you?”

“Of course I won’t let you off. I’m also going to Yanjing, but I’m not going to Yanjing University. Yanjing University’s admission score this year is too scary. My results were actually not accepted.”

Mo Xiu smiled and said, “It’s fine. At least we’re still in the same city.”

Zheng Yi nodded.

Just then, Mr. Zheng returned home. Li Yuan quickly came out of the kitchen to greet him.

Mr. Zheng jokingly said, “Yo, it’s such a rare day today. Two hostesses are actually cooking personally. We’re in for a treat.”

Then, Mr. Zheng took off his coat and sat on the sofa.

“Mo Xiu, let’s upgrade today’s party. Get all your friends here. We’ll have a good time.”

Mr. Zheng had heard from Zheng Yi that Mo Xiu had been working hard since he was young. He spent most of his time training and had very few friends. Hence, he got Mo Xiu to bring his friends over.

Mo Xiu felt a little embarrassed. After all, this wasn’t his home.

“Uncle, I don’t think that’s a good idea. I can invite them another day. Let’s just have a meal together today.”

Mr. Zheng pretended to be angry and said, “Why? Are you treating Uncle as an outsider? Hurry up and look for your friends now. We will be eating soon.”

Mo Xiu tried to decline again, but Mr. Zheng insisted. Thus, Mo Xiu could only compromise.

Mo Xiu picked up the phone and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. How could he have any friends? It seemed like he had failed in his life all these years.

In the end, after thinking about it, Mu Qingyi should have already left by now. Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan were the only two other people he had a good relationship with, so he should find these two.

When Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan picked up Mo Xiu’s call, they both accepted his offer immediately.

Mo Xiu returned to the sofa and said, “Uncle, Zheng Yi also knows that I don’t have many friends. I only called two friends over today.”

Mr. Zheng smiled and said, “Alright, there are many young people today. I’ll be younger too.”

Not long after, Liu Ziyang came. The moment he entered, he cupped his fists and said to Mr. Zheng, “I’m Liu Ziyang, sorry for disturbing you today.”

Mr. Zheng didn’t get angry because of Liu Ziyang’s actions. Instead, he kept praising Liu Ziyang for being interesting.

Liu Ziyang was also studying at Yanjing University. Thus, the conversation topic among the three young people was naturally related to Yanjing.

At first, Mr. Zheng didn’t think much of it, but the more he listened, the more shocked he became.

In the end, he finally figured out Liu Ziyang’s identity. He was the son of the Liu Corporation in Beijing, which was a company that had a certain amount of authority in Beijing. He was actually Mo Xiu’s friend.

Mr. Zheng was shocked that Mo Xiu could make such a friend. He even saw that Liu Ziyang kept calling Mo Xiu “Boss”. Mr. Zheng truly couldn’t understand Mo Xiu.

However, Mr. Zheng gradually calmed down. He felt gratified that his son could make such a friend.
