Hearing this question, the smile on Old Madam Mo’s face gradually faded. “Not yet. The doctor didn’t rule out the possibility that she might fall into a vegetative state. She is currently still under observation.”
“A vegetative state?” Lin Pingping was quite frightened. “How could this happen?”
Li Xianxian is only twenty years old this year. If she truly ends up in a vegetative state, how will her future days go by?
Old Madam Mo sighed, “Xianxian has always been quite an obstinate child. This situation wouldn’t have occurred otherwise…”
Lin Pingping reached out and held Old Madam Mo’s hand, “Auntie, don’t worry. Xianxian is a good girl. She will definitely be okay.”
“I hope so.” Old Madam Mo sighed softly, “Come, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s eat.”
Lin Pingping nodded and served Old Madam Mo a bowl of porridge before serving herself.
Having received excellent etiquette training, Lin Pingping didn’t make any noise while eating. However, right as the porridge went down her throat, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
The taste was simply amazing!
Lin Pingping had never known that a simple bowl of porridge could taste so delicious. She immediately reached out and grabbed some lettuce-heart.
The lettuce-heart was cooked to perfection. It was crisp, refreshing, with a tinge of spiciness that winded around her tongue and teeth. The aftertaste was endless, making one want to take a second bite after the first.
Upon seeing Lin Pingping’s reaction, Old Madam Mo smiled and asked, “How was it? The taste was good, wasn’t it?”
Lin Pingping quickly nodded, “Good? It’s more than good! It’s absolutely delicious!” Lin Ping had assumed with such nutritious food, the taste would be minimal. To her surprise, the taste was incredible!
The most humble ingredients had been used to create extraordinarily impressive flavors.
It was obvious that the cook had an ingeniously versatile heart.
“If it’s delicious, then eat more. Don’t go trying to be like those other girls, starving themselves for the sake of looking good,” Old Madam Mo added more porridge into Pingping’s bowl.
The aunt and niece enjoyed their meal.
“Grandma, Auntie.” Mo Baichuan entered the room and greeted.
“Baichuan, you look increasingly energetic,” Lin Pingping said with a laugh, “How about it? Have you found a girlfriend yet?”
“I’m not in a hurry.” Mo Baichuan sat on the sofa opposite them.
Lin Pingping continued, “You’re not getting any younger. Time to get serious.”
At this point, Mo Qishen had descended from upstairs. Mo Baichuan immediately stated, “These things should be arranged by the elders first.”
Mo Qishen had just been dumped by Zhao Jingrong, and people were still gossiping about it.
Mo Baichuan was purposely stirring the pot!
Old Madam Mo knew that the relationship between this nephew and uncle had always been tense. Mo Baichuan was a remarkably outstanding person, already a big leader at the age of 26.
As for Mo Qishen, he was already 27 and yet he remains unaccomplished and idle, naturally generating friction.
One being her son and the other her grandson, with none of them being in the wrong, Old Madam Mo found it difficult to mediate the situation, so she could only pamper them and find ways to mediate.
Lin Pingping could also sense the underlying tension between them and tried to shift the focus, “Your Sixth Uncle is your Sixth Uncle, and you are you. We are discussing something with your grandma right now!”
Without showing any anger or embarrassment, Mo Qishen walked over and said nonchalantly, “You, my impressive nephew, need not worry about your Sixth Auntie’s affairs.”
Somehow, Mo Baichuan found the word ‘impressive’ to be a bit grating.
Was it just his imagination?
As an underachiever, Mo Qishen had no right to mock others.
If it weren’t for his seniority, Mo Baichuan would never tolerate sharing a room with such a person.
In his workplace, someone like Mo Qishen wouldn’t even qualify to serve him tea or water.
After saying this, Mo Qishen greeted Lin Pingping and Old Madam Mo, “My dear, I have some business to attend to, so I won’t entertain you for now. Remember to stay for dinner tonight.”
Lin Pingping cheerfully replied, “You go handle your business, don’t worry about me.”
A look of derision flashed in Mo Baichuan’s eyes.
Besides chasing women and fooling around, what serious business could Mo Qishen have?
Every time he thought about Mo Qishen going out to chase after Ni Yang, a surge of nameless anger rose within Mo Baichuan!
Such an adult man being completely taken in by that little girl, Ni Yang. No wonder he was still a good-for-nothing at 27!
