147 Conquering the People Around Her
Su Qiumeng grabbed onto Mo Ting’s arm as her entire body trembled, “President Mo, I know everything now. You deliberately hid it from me that day. I know everything about my daughter’s kidnapping. You saved her and even injured her leg because of it. I have no way to repay your kindness.” As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Mo Ting quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, “Auntie, I wasn’t the only one who saved her during the kidnapping incident. Little Yuan also saved me. Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to escape on my own. She also cured my leg, so I should be the one thanking her.”
Mo Ting had lived for so many years, but he had never encountered a situation like this. He was never good at coaxing people, but the person crying in front of him was his future mother-in-law. No, it was his mother-in-law. What should he do? If Su Yuan came back and found Su Qiumeng crying, Mo Ting would suddenly feel a lot of pressure. He suddenly thought of what Fu Wen had said to him on the way here.
[President Mo, this time, the Bai family came to cause trouble. I think the Madam will definitely let them in, give them a good scolding, and only let them go after venting her anger. When you go to the ward, you must show your loyalty to the old Madam. The old lady would definitely listen to him. The way I see it, the Madam won’t be affected by force or persuasion. Why don’t you change your way of thinking and first attack the people around the Madam, such as friends and relatives? As long as they put in a good word for you, Madam might be soft-hearted.]
To woo the people around her? Mo Ting felt that this was a good idea.
Fu Wen also said, [If you want to gain the old Madam’s trust and good impression, you must be sincere and let her feel your feelings for the Madam. Only then will she believe that you are serious about the Madam and help you speak up.]
Mo Ting thought about these words over and over again before he said to Su Qiumeng in a serious tone, “Auntie, don’t worry. With me around, I won’t let Little Yuan fall into danger again. I’ll protect her. In City A, she can do whatever she wants.”
Hearing this, Su Qiumeng stopped crying as she looked at Mo Ting with a complicated expression. After a long moment of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and said, “President Mo, your family background is too prominent. My Little Yuan is just a little girl from a mountain village. I don’t have high expectations of her. I don’t expect her to have high achievements or wealth. I only hope that she can live a stable and happy life. The two of you are really not suitable for each other. there are many people in A city who are worthy of you, why waste your time?” Su Qiumeng did not know if what she said was right or wrong, but as a mother, she had already made the mistake once and did not want to make the same mistake again.
The Bai family was Su Yuan’s family, but they all treated her like this. Mo Ting was just an outsider, and he was someone with so much power, how could she trust him? Could she really hand Little Yuan over to him just because he had given her a second glance?
Hearing this, Mo Ting’s expression turned serious, “Auntie, for as long as I can remember, I’ve never liked anyone else. I truly like Little Yuan. My feelings for her are genuine.”
Su Qiumeng was silent for a long time before she stared into her eyes and asked, “How sincere can your heart be?”
Just as Mo Ting was about to speak, Su Yuan returned, “The kirin fruit is a little sour, but the cherry is pretty good. It’s especially sweet.” She ate as she walked and handed the kirin fruit that she had mentioned was sour to Mo Ting.
Mo Ting received the kirin fruit and took a bite.
“Doesn’t it feel sour?” Without waiting for Mo Ting’s response, Su Yuan placed the other half of the kirin fruit into his hands, “If it doesn’t count, then eat it all. Don’t waste it.”
“Little Yuan.” Su Qiumeng gave her daughter a reproachful look. How could she let her guest eat sour fruits?
“President Mo, if you don’t want to eat, put it aside.” Su Yuan said.
“It’s fine. It’s already been cut open. Someone will have to eat it.” After saying that, he took another bite without changing his expression.
The corner of Su Yuan’s eyes twitched. She had not even eaten, but she already felt her teeth aching.
Su Qiumeng’s eyes flickered as she watched the interaction between the two.
At this time, Su Yuan pulled a chair over and sat beside Mo Ting. She handed him two cherries to ease the sourness and started to chat.
Su Yuan replied, “Aren’t you busy this afternoon? How come you have time to come over?”
“I couldn’t get through to you on the phone,” Mo Ting replied, “I had no choice but to come over.”
Su Yuan said, “Oh, my phone’s out of battery. I’m too lazy to charge it. No one’s looking for me anyway.”
Just as Mo Ting was about to pick up a cherry, his hand suddenly stopped in its tracks. He then looked at Su Yuan with an expression that said, “Am I not somebody?”
Su Yuan pretended not to see and smiled. “My mother is doing fine now. Thank you for taking the time to visit her. You’re so busy, so you should go.”
