Chapter 2255: Chapter 59: Worthy of Being Mo Xiuchen’s Son
Mo Ziye looked at Mo Xiuchen with a smile in his eyes. His words seemed calm and polite but were actually full of provocation.
Wen Jin burst into laughter.
He reached out to take the bag from Mo Ziye’s hand, saying, “Ziye, take your time talking with your dad. I’ll go in first and start preparing the meal.”
Ziye, that kid, hadn’t competed with Mo Xiuchen for Ranran’s attention for a long time, and Wen Jin was happy to see this side of him.
Unlike the past four years, when he always gave off a cold, lonely vibe.
It made the elders like them feel heartbroken.
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiuchen turned his head to look at Wen Jin.
The latter pretended not to see his ‘unpleasant’ gaze, smiling gently at Ziye.
“Alright, Uncle, you go in first. I’ll come in later to help you.”
On the way back earlier, he mentioned that he would help Wen Jin prepare lunch.
Wen Jin took the bag from Mo Ziye’s hand and quickly entered the living room. Outside in the yard, Mo Ziye stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at Mo Xiuchen.
Waiting for him to agree to his request.
Mo Xiuchen didn’t speak, his eyes holding a hint of scrutiny.
Beside him, Wen Ran stood quietly with a gentle smile, watching the confrontation between the father and son. She knew that once they started clashing, nothing she said would make a difference.
Moreover, Ziye was now provoking with Mo Xiuchen’s concerns, so he would definitely take on the challenge.
“Four years ago, you guaranteed me you would find out the killer and the mastermind to avenge your Aunt An. Now, are you incapable of avenging your Aunt An, so you’re using this method to make me help you?”
Mo Xiuchen’s lazy, deep voice broke the tense standoff, the sarcasm in his tone evident.
Although he had let Mo Ziye investigate freely.
He didn’t ignore it completely.
He was aware of the clues he had.
He would even occasionally provide him with some clues; it was a meticulously executed assassination with no apparent flaws.
Mo Ziye didn’t get angry, responding confidently, “Dad, I don’t have that intention. I promised to avenge Aunt An, and I will do it.”
Implying that he knew Mo Xiuchen couldn’t gather evidence before him to avenge An Lin.
Confident enough!
Truly his son, Mo Xiuchen’s son.
Mo Xiuchen couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation at Mo Ziye’s words.
Raising an eyebrow, he accepted his bet, “Qing Yang and Qing Feng are my people; from now on, they won’t be at your disposal. If you lose, you will never fight with me over your mom again.”
Before Mo Ziye could speak, Mo Xiuchen added, “This is just one condition; there are two more conditions. I’ll tell you about them later.”
“No problem.”
Mo Ziye agreed without hesitation.
No matter what conditions his dad would propose.
“Is that enough for you now? Stop acting like enemies, Ziye. From now on, speak properly with your father.”
“Mom, I admire my dad a lot.”
Ziye was in a great mood, his smile handsome and charming.
Mo Xiuchen was too lazy to argue with him, releasing Wen Ran’s hand gently, saying, “Ranran, you go inside first. I’ll deal with this kid.”
“Alright, don’t hit each other in the face when you fight, okay? It looks bad if you mess up the face.”
Wen Ran jokingly said, then really walked quickly into the living room.
“What are your plans with Shi Xi?”
As soon as Wen Ran left, Mo Xiuchen’s expression hardened, seriously looking at the face in front of him that looked just like his, only younger and more handsome.
Daring to think he was old.
“I intend to use her to probe Shi Dongping, nothing more.”
At this moment, with only the father and son, Mo Ziye had nothing to hide.
“Including having her publicly apologize to Qingqing this time?”
Mo Xiuchen knew his son well.
Mo Ziye’s actions were not merely for Qingqing’s sake but had other purposes.
“Yes.”
“I heard that Shi Dongping has given up on you and is targeting Ye Zhan now?”
Mo Xiuchen said with a sarcastic curve to his lips. Whether it was Shi Dongping or the Shi Family, they’ve climbed too fast in recent years.
Leading to an ever-growing ambition.
Now daring to disdain Mo Xiuchen’s son, it might not just be disdain, but possibly other intentions.
Mo Ziye was a bit surprised, “Dad, where did you hear that from?”
“Don’t worry about where I got this information. Just know it. Maybe Shi Dongping never believed that you and Shi Xi were truly involved, or perhaps he’s already noticed you investigating him.”
Mo Ziye frowned, deep in thought.
“Ye Zhan isn’t the kind of man to be manipulated easily, Shi Dongping’s dream is impossible to achieve.”
“Ye Zhan may not be easy to manipulate, but what if someone pressures him? Nothing is absolute. If Shi Dongping merely finds Ye Zhan more valuable than you, so be it. But if for other reasons, you must be cautious, including protecting Qingqing.”
“I understand, Dad, don’t worry.”
Mo Ziye seriously promised.
That’s why he called Qingqing back.
If they couldn’t find the killer, those people wouldn’t act.
But if they did find the killer, they couldn’t guarantee what would happen.
Having Qingqing abroad made him uneasy compared to being in G City and beside him.
So, he called to tell her he was starting a new relationship… Qingqing returned.
——
In the living room.
When Wen Ran entered, Zhang Minghui and Wen Ziyang were playing a game, both sitting on the floor in front of the sofa, leaning against it, deeply immersed in their game.
Qin Qingqing and Wen Qinghuan, the two girls, were doing crafts.
Seeing her enter, the two playing the game turned their heads to call out to her, then continued their play.
Qinghuan stood up and took Wen Ran to sit in front of the sofa.
Qingqing stood waiting by the sofa.
“Both of you are getting more skillful, Qinghuan seems to have grown taller again, Qingqing, I’ve arranged for Momo to stay at your place.”
“Aunt, I’m now as tall as Sister Qingqing.”
Wen Qinghuan said, reaching up to measure her height against Qingqing.
Qingqing laughed and pulled her hand down, asking Wen Ran, “Aunt Wen, did Sister Momo call you?”
“Yes, your dad said he wouldn’t be back for a while. Do you want to move back home?”
Wen Ran referred to having Qingqing move back to the Mo family home.
Living alone with a nanny, she was still lonely.
Since she and Ziye had reconciled, living at the Mo family home would be better.
“Yes, Aunt is right. Sister Qingqing, you and cousin are about to get married anyway. You might as well move to his place. You’ve been abroad for years, plenty of women have been eyeing him. Now that you’ve returned, make sure to keep a close watch on him.”
Qingqing gave Qinghuan a teasing glance, smiled, and nodded, “Aunt Wen, Brother Ziyi hasn’t asked me to move in, but since you suggested it, I’ll go.”
On the carpet, Wen Ziyang’s voice rang out, “Brother Little Hui, don’t get distracted! We’re about to get defeated!”
