Does she really match well with their family's Zhirou?
Mo Chuxi's handsome face darkened. He finally understood why Yan Xinxin was forced out of her home by her younger sister, Yan Zhirou.
"Young Master Mo, it's the weekend today. Rou is at home. Why don't you come upstairs for a visit?"
Ye Lirong smiled obsequiously, her eyes wandering back and forth across Mo Chuxi's refined and elegant features.
As expected, just as Rou described—handsome, with an aristocratic air.
Thinking of a wealthy heir like Mo Chuxi taking an interest in her daughter, Ye Lirong couldn't hold back her joy; her heart felt like it was bursting with happiness!
Mo Chuxi lifted his cold and strikingly handsome face, giving Ye Lirong a detached glance.
"There's no need to be courteous, I don't have the time."
"Young Master Mo, don't be shy. Didn't you come here last time to see our Rou? Even though she's only twenty years old, I'm very open-minded. I won't oppose your relationship!"
Ye Lirong spoke brightly, her face full of anticipation as she looked at the money tree standing before her.
Mo Chuxi's handsome face grew progressively darker.
A few days ago, he had followed Yan Xinxin and driven to her apartment complex, only to be seen by this woman and Yan Zhirou? And now they thought he, Mo Chuxi, was interested in Yan Zhirou?
Sensing the displeasure in Mo Chuxi, Ye Lirong felt a flicker of unease.
He was the CEO of a massive financial conglomerate, the scion of An City's foremost aristocratic family. How could she have been so blunt about exposing his supposed interest in her daughter? It might embarrass him!
"Well, President Mo, since you're busy, I won't interrupt you. Next time, you must come up for a visit. Rou would surely be delighted!"
Ye Lirong ended her remarks with a self-satisfied grin, slowly stepping aside. Her gaze lingered persistently on Mo Chuxi.
Mo Chuxi, with an icy expression, had reached the limit of his patience. He closed the car window without another word, pressed down on the accelerator. The car zipped away in a beautiful drift, disappearing from sight.
Yan Xinxin and Yan Guoping walked hand in hand with Yan Chenxi towards their floor.
"Do you think your mother and Rou will be scared when they see me?"
Yan Guoping's words carried a hint of anticipation. Yan Xinxin managed a faint smile, but her feelings were complicated.
She dared not tell Yan Guoping that she had already been forced out of the house by her "good sister" Yan Zhirou.
The door suddenly opened.
Yan Zhirou, decked out and adorned in extravagant attire, stepped out.
Yan Guoping's voice interrupted Yan Zhirou.
Yan Zhirou froze momentarily, frowned, and looked over. After a pause, her face revealed a look of astonishment.
"Dad? Why are you here? Weren't you sentenced to ten years? How come you're..."
As Yan Zhirou stared questioningly at the man before her, Ye Lirong's excited voice came from downstairs.
She was rushing back in a hurry to tell Yan Zhirou that Young Master Mo had once again secretly come by to see her daughter!
Yan Xinxin thought something had happened, but as Ye Lirong ascended the stairs, her face was brimming with an irrepressible smile.
"Rou, just now when I was grocery shopping, I saw..."
Ye Lirong spoke excitedly but froze when she spotted the group standing at the doorway, her smile abruptly vanishing.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, utterly stunned.
The group stood silently by the doorway for a while before stepping inside.
Yan Xinxin made some tea—the favorite brew of Yan Guoping from years ago—as he sat down.
Ye Lirong couldn't make sense of the situation and began to feel uneasy.
"So... Old Yan, how is it that you're out?"
"Don't worry. At my age, do you think I could stage a prison break?"
Yan Guoping chuckled, his affectionate gaze resting on his young grandson.
"I don't understand myself either. They told me inside that I had encountered a benefactor."
"A benefactor? What benefactor?" Yan Zhirou grew curious.
Yan Xinxin listened passively, and Mo Chuxi's face inexplicably surfaced in her mind.
"I only overheard them referring to him as Mr. Mo..."
