Chapter 2461 - 265
Chapter 2461: Chapter 265
A few days ago, Mo Xiuchen received a call from Old Master Ye in Imperial City to discuss Ye Zhan and Momo’s marriage.
He agreed that once Ye Zhan returns, they would register for marriage, and the two families would truly become in-laws.
The gifts Momo needed to bring for the New Year visit were naturally indispensable.
Old Master Ye laughed with joy when Momo mentioned she would go to Imperial City after the festival, "Great, great, what day are you coming to Imperial City? I’ll pick you up at the airport."
"Grandpa, there’s no need for you to pick me up at the airport, I won’t get lost."
"No way, if Ah Zhan were at home, he’d be the one going to G City to pick you up. Since he’s not here, I must pick you up at the airport. Little Momo, you’ll come on the second day, right? It’s settled, I’ll be waiting at the airport for you."
Old Master Ye’s words were not an inquiry.
But rather, a notification.
Momo felt both moved and warmed in her heart.
She smiled and agreed, "Alright, I’ll listen to you, Grandpa."
"Has Ah Zhan contacted you?"
Old Master Ye paused and asked.
The smile in Momo’s eyes was replaced by longing, she gently pressed her lips together and replied lightly, "No."
"Don’t worry about him, take care of yourself. If you come to Imperial City in a few days and I see you’ve lost weight, I won’t let you go back."
After chatting for a while, Momo remembered he mentioned he was still eating.
So she decided to end the call.
After hanging up, Momo thought about Ye Zhan, and a faint, bittersweet longing seeped into her heart.
Looking at the phone screen saver, at the handsome man in uniform, a silent voice in her heart asked, "How long until you return?"
"I miss you, you know?"
Just as Momo was turning to go back to the restaurant for dinner, she received a message from Mo Xin:
[Momo, Ji Anyun has sent someone to give me the medicine, asking me to meet you...]
Momo read the content of the message.
Two minutes later, Mo Xin called her.
Judging by her tone, there was someone beside her.
She said, "Momo, I’m going back to S City tomorrow and won’t ever return to G City. Haven’t you always disliked me? Let’s clear things up once and for all, meet me at ** Cafe; after this, I won’t bother you or your family again..."
"I don’t have time this afternoon."
Momo coldly refused.
"I’ll wait until you come, regardless."
Mo Xin finished speaking and hung up the call.
Momo returned to the restaurant and told Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran about Mo Xin’s invitation to meet.
"That place is very secluded." Mo Xiuchen’s expression cooled slightly after hearing Momo mention the cafe.
Momo turned to look at Mo Ziye.
The latter immediately understood her gaze and nodded slightly, "I’ve been keeping an eye on it; the number will likely be on."
As he spoke, Mo Ziye stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, continue eating, I’ll make some arrangements and go with my sister."
"She asked me to go alone."
"I know, I’ll accompany you from the shadows." Mo Ziye explained with a smile.
If he appeared with Momo, it might deter those in hiding.
Thinking of something, he asked, "Has Ji Anyun arrived in G City?"
"Yes, she arrived at G City at three this morning."
Mo Ziye nodded, "I’ll give Uncle Qingfeng a call, you finish eating before heading out."
"Okay."
Momo raised her eyebrows; she hadn’t eaten yet.
There was indeed no rush to meet Mo Xin.
Leaving a little later wouldn’t be too late.
Ten minutes later, Mo Ziye received a call from Qing Feng reporting, "There are suspicious people near the cafe."
At the same time, Police Chief Lu Zhiyan called Mo Xiuchen’s phone.
He informed him that everything had been arranged.
——
In a VIP suite of a certain hotel, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Ji Anyun looked out through a gap in the drapes with binoculars, clearly seeing Mo Xin sitting by the window in the cafe.
As time passed minute by minute, with Momo not appearing, Ji Anyun’s excitement started to turn into impatience.
Threads of hatred seeped into her eyes.
She raised her hand to touch her face, thinking of Momo’s beautiful features, her elegant temperament.
The jealousy in her heart suddenly flared like a raging fire.
A long time seemingly passed.
Momo’s figure finally appeared in Ji Anyun’s line of sight.
She dressed casually, holding a tote bag, her walking posture was carefree and relaxed.
Yet even this effortless, unpolished ease made Ji Anyun seethe with jealousy.
Seeing Momo made her think of Ye Zhan.
Thinking of Ye Zhan’s indifference, thinking of Ye Zhan’s fondness for Momo.
Thinking of Ye Zhan who, for one Momo, ignored her...
Her grip on the binoculars tightened, her usual gentle demeanor replaced by jealousy, her previously bluish face now twisted with rage.
Momo, now that you’ve come, you won’t leave!
Momo went to the cafe alone.
But she knew Ziye was nearby, accompanying her.
Momo didn’t look around to see if anyone was watching her; she got out of the car, swinging the tote bag in her hand, and leisurely walked into the cafe.
Upon the greeting of "Welcome," she noticed Mo Xin sitting by the window.
Upon making eye contact, Mo Xin’s expression changed slightly.
Momo averted her gaze, unconsciously scanning the hall; at this hour, there weren’t many customers, but still some.
Mo Xin stood up, waiting for her.
Momo walked over and didn’t immediately sit down but asked lightly, "What do you want?"
"Sit down first, then we can talk."
Mo Xin pursed her lips, speaking not intentionally, yet involuntarily showing a lower sense of humility.
Momo glanced at her, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
A waiter approached and eagerly asked what Momo would like to drink.
Momo thought of Ji Anyun giving Mo Xin the medicine, her gaze lifted coldly toward the waiter.
The waiter, perhaps out of a guilty conscience, avoided her clear and cold gaze.
Momo dropped her eyes and pointed casually, "I’ll have this."
"Alright." The waiter’s face immediately broke into a smile.
He said, "Please wait a moment," and turned to leave.
Momo raised her hand to brush aside a stray lock of hair on her forehead and asked Mo Xin, "Now you can talk."
"Her people are in this hall."
Mo Xin said nearly in a whisper.
Momo’s expression didn’t change, nor did she raise her head to look elsewhere.
She simply opened her bag and took out a mirror to check.
From her position, the two men Ji Anyun had placed were visible.
Two men in their thirties.
Their appearance gave off a low-life vibe.
Momo put the mirror back in her bag, listening as Mo Xin said, "They called me home for the Spring Festival; Mom and Dad have you and Ziye for company, and now that Qingqing is pregnant, I’m just redundant here..."
The coffee Momo ordered was quickly delivered.
She quietly said "Thank you."
After the waiter left, Momo picked up her spoon to lightly stir the coffee.
Her calm eyes coldly regarded Mo Xin; she did not fully absorb what Mo Xin was saying.
