Mo Xiyan smiled and obediently walked towards Old Mr. Rong to take a seat. “Got it, Grandpa. I’ll hand over my last patient in two days’ time and bid the hospital farewell.”
Old Mr. Rong nodded in satisfaction and stared at her before shifting his gaze onto her abdomen. He found her to be more and more pleasing to the eye.
“Dinner’s not ready yet. Come play chess with me.”
Mo Xiyan was eager to try. “Sure, I lose to Grandpa every time. I want to see if I can win this time!”
Old Mr. Rong smiled and said, “It’s good to have a fighting spirit.”
Butler Zhang grabbed the chessboard while the two of them played chess.
Halfway through, Mo Xiyan’s mobile phone rang and she smiled apologetically at Old Mr. Rong before ending the game.
However, her mobile phone seemed to be ringing continuously, making her feel extremely frustrated.
Old Mr. Rong’s spirits were dampened and he said, “Go ahead. Maybe there’s something urgent.”
Mo Xiyan nodded apologetically and left the living room.
“Mother, what’s the matter?”
“Xiyan, tell me honestly, are you pestering Young Master Rong now?” Mrs. Mo asked in a haggard voice.
Mo Xiyan frowned and recovered from the shock. “Mother, who did you hear it from? What do you mean by pestering Young Master Rong?”
“Just tell me if it’s true or not!” Mrs. Mo barked.
“Mother, who is the one talking nonsense in front of you!?!”
Mrs. Mo coughed angrily and barked, “Xiyan, come back from S City immediately. If you still acknowledge me as your mother!”
Ever since she was a child, Mother Mo had never spoken to her this sternly. No matter how poor they were, she could not bear to let her daughter suffer.
What’s wrong with mother today? Why did she threaten me?
“Mother, tell me, what exactly happened? If you don’t tell me, I won’t go back! You know my character. It’s useless to threaten me!”
“Alright, I’ll be honest with you. The CEO of Imperial Court personally came to warn me this morning. If you don’t come back from S City, our identities will be exposed to the media. By then, the Mo Family and the Liu Family won’t let the two of us off! Xiyan, the Mo Family is not someone we can afford to mess with. I’ve lost my job and the landlord doesn’t dare to rent a room to me anymore. Even the hotels rejected me… CEO Mo is bent on forcing me into a corner… ”
After hearing her mother’s words, Mo Xiyan was so angry that her breathing became irregular. Her chest heaved up and down and she snapped the branch beside her. “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll handle this matter well. I won’t let you suffer!”
“Xiyan, listen to me. Young Master Rong is already married and you should just give up. Don’t follow my footsteps… ”
“Enough, cut it out!”
Mo Xiyan interrupted Mrs. Mo and took a deep breath before saying slowly, “You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll settle it as soon as possible. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. Take good care of yourself.”
As soon as she hung up, she smashed her mobile phone onto the ground and it shattered into pieces.
Mo Xiyan’s face grew sullen and she gritted her teeth angrily. “Mo Qiange, how dare you! I’ll make you regret it!”
