Chapter 274: 099: A very happy New Year, a mysteriously strong and foolish tycoon_4
During the process of pasting the couplets, Ni Chenggui kept praising Mo Qishen.
After pasting the couplets, Mo Qishen proposed to leave.
As it was New Year’s Eve, Ni Yang didn’t wish to keep him for dinner, so she walked him to the door, “Be careful on your way, Brother Mo.”
Mo Qishen was still riding his semi-old bicycle, “It’s cold outside, Yangyang, you should go back quickly.”
Mo Qishen pushed his bicycle for a few steps, then as if remembering something, called out, “Yangyang.”
“Hmm?” Ni Yang turned back.
Mo Qishen continued, “Yangyang, do you want to go to the temple to burn incense with me tomorrow morning?”
It’s common to go to the temple to burn incense on the morning of the first day of the lunar new year, pleading for peace in the coming year.
Ni Yang didn’t used to believe in such things, but now, she’d rather believe they have some effect than not.
Ni Yang nodded, “Okay, Brother Mo, we’ll see each other tomorrow morning.”
Mo Qishen smiled and said, “Then I’ll come pickyou up tomorrow morning.”
Mo Qishen waved at Ni Yang excitedly, “Goodbye, Yangyang.”
Li Xianxian was an orphan without parents, and Old Mrs. Mo, fearing that she’d be lonely, specially asked Mo Baichuan to bring her to the Mo Family for the New Year.
This was the first time Li Xianxian was celebrating the New Year at the Mo Family. She was very excited, busily helping Old Mrs. Mo out.
Just at this moment, Mo Qishen walked in from the door.
It had started snowing heavily without notice. Some snowflakes were stuck on his messy hair. He was originally handsome, but now, with his thin lips tightly pressed together, it seemed like a thin layer of ice had formed on his face.
He was elegant and noble, like a crowned jade.
Li Xianxian’s heartbeat missed a beat at the sight.
But Li Xianxian quickly recovered, realizing that it was all just a facade. He was 27 and had accomplished nothing, he certainly wasn’t worth a second glance.
Though Mo Baichuan might not look as handsome, he was far more capable than him!
The look in Li Xianxian’s eyes gradually turned into disdain, but she still greeted him politely, “Uncle Mo.”
Mo Qishen just nodded lightly in response.
Old Mrs. Mo teased with a smile, “Oh Six, come over. We still haven’t written our couplets. We’re waiting for you to do it.”
Mo Qishen collapsed onto the sofa, “I can’t, Mum. I’m too tired today. Let me rest a while.”
Li Xianxian saw an opportunity to speak, “Grandma, I remember Baichuan also writes very well. Shall I call him down?”
Certainly, the task of displaying talents like writing couplets should be performed by Mo Baichuan. How could they let a good-for-nothing like Mo Qishen take advantage of the opportunity?
Old Mrs. Mo nodded, “You go.”
Li Xianxian turned around and went upstairs.
Old Mrs. Mo turned to Mo Qishen and asked, “Old Six, did you deliver the gift I asked you to give Yangyang?”
Mo Qishen lazily responded with a sound, appearing nonchalant about it.
Old Mrs. Mo shook her head helplessly.
At this moment, Li Xianxian and Mo Baichuan came down.
Mo Baichuan politely greeted Old Mrs. Mo and Mo Qishen.
Old Mrs. Mo smiled and said, “Chuanchuan, you and Xianxian will write the couplets. I’ll go to the kitchen.”
Mo Baichuan was really not interested in dealing with Li Xianxian, but he also didn’t want to give her the cold shoulder.
Firstly, because Li Xianxian had been invited by Old Mrs. Mo and his father.
Secondly, he wanted to use Li Xianxian to make Ni Yang jealous.
The two of them stayed in the living room to write the couplets.
While praising Mo Baichuan’s handwriting, Li Xianxian talked to him about the Business World.
Upon hearing a certain business term, Mo Qishen, who had been napping with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and asked, “What were you just saying?”
Li Xianxian gave a faint smile, sarcasm hidden in the depths of her eyes, “Uncle Mo, Baichuan and I were discussing matters about the Business World, stuff you wouldn’t understand.”
He was nothing more than a good-for-nothing. Even if they explained it to him, it would be like playing a lute to a cow.
Li Xianxian couldn’t understand how someone as useless as Mo Qishen could appear in a distinguished family like the Mo’s.
Even if not everyone could be as excellent as Mo Baichuan, surely they wouldn’t be someone who had accomplished nothing!
It was indeed Mo Qishen’s fortune to be born into the Mo Family. If he were born into an ordinary family, he might have starved to death by now.
Mo Baichuan didn’t say a word.
Mo Qishen didn’t get angry either. He continued to nap with his eyes closed, not showing the slightest bit of annoyance.
After Mo Qishen left, Ni Cuihua immediately unpacked the gifts he had brought.
She found not only a lot of imported snacks in the parcels, but also a folded stroller.
Ni Cuihua had never seen a stroller and didn’t recognize it, so she called Ni Yang over.
