Chapter 558: 148: The poisoning is serious, Doctor Wang comes to find _1
The old butler continued, “The master and madam had to step out for a bit. But they should be back soon, Miss Ni, please come in and sit.”
“Okay.” Ni Yang nodded and followed the old butler inside.
As soon as Ni Yang sat down in the living room, servants brought tea and snacks, worried about neglecting her.
You see, Ni Yang was someone held very dear by the master and madam.
“Sister Pingping isn’t home either?” Ni Yang looked back at the old butler.
The old butler replied, “Miss Pingping has gone to work.”
“Oh.” Ni Yang nodded slightly.
Just then, footsteps were heard coming from the spiral staircase.
A man and a woman descended from upstairs.
The man was Mo Baichuan.
The woman looked to be around twenty-three or four. She wore a purple princess dress, a matching hat, and the same colored eyeshadow. She was very modish.
Her name was Xiu Yingying, Mo Baichuan’s cousin.
Mo Baichuan saw Ni Yang at first glance, with a complex look in his eyes.
Ni Yang claimed, again and again, she liked Mo Qishen, yet Mo Qishen wasn’t home, so why did she come to the Mo family?
The crucial point was, today even the old Mr. Mo and Mrs. Mo weren’t home.
Although Ni Yang didn’t say a word about the wedding from beginning to end, Mo Baichuan felt like it was somehow related to her.
“Cousin, you have a guest?”
Yingying didn’t want anyone to steal her thunder, so she wasn’t fond of any girl prettier than her.
Mo Baichuan lightly hummed in acknowledgment.
Yingying continued, “Who is she? How come I’ve never seen her before?”
“An insignificant person.”
“Shall we go up and say hi?”
Before Mo Baichuan could respond, Yingying walked straight up to Ni Yang, “Butler Li, our family has a guest, won’t you introduce me?”
Butler Li smiled and replied, “Miss Xiu, this is Ni Yang, Young Master Six’s girlfriend. Miss Ni, this is Miss Xiu Yingying, the cousin of Young Master Baichuan.”
So, she was that loser’s girlfriend.
What good does being good-looking do?
In the end, she was still entangled with a loser.
Hearing this, Xiu Yingying’s eyes were filled with disdain.
Ni Yang greeted her with a smile, “Miss Xiu.”
Xiu Yingying continued, “Miss Ni is so pretty, may I ask what she works as?”
“Self-employed.” Ni Yang replied unfetteredly.
Xiu Yingying laughed, “Well you’re a perfect match for Uncle Mo Six then.”
A self-employed woman and a loser, isn’t that the perfect match?
Ni Yang seemed not to notice the contempt in Xiu Yingying’s eyes and casually responded, “Thank you.”
Xiu Yingying saw no point in wasting time on a self-employed woman and turned to Mo Baichuan, “Let’s go, cousin. Weren’t you going to take me out for good food in Beijing?”
Mo Baichuan nodded his head.
With that, Xiu Yingying looked back at Ni Yang, “Would Miss Ni like to join us?”
Mo Baichuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Would Ni Yang pass up this opportunity to be alone with him?
Just when Mo Baichuan was sure that Ni Yang would accompany them, Ni Yang spoke with a charming smile, “Miss Xiu, you’re too kind. I won’t go. I wish you and my nephew a pleasant meal.”
Ni Yang is actually not going!
Not only was Ni Yang not going, but she also directly called him ‘nephew’.
At this point, was she still trying to go against the flow?
Xiu Yingying continued, “Since Miss Ni isn’t going, I guess I’ll take my leave with cousin.”
Ni Yang nodded slightly.
Outside, Xiu Yingying pulled Mo Baichuan’s arm, “Cousin, where are you taking me to eat?”
“Let’s have Japanese food.” Mo Baichuan said.
“Okay.” Xiu Yingying nodded.
Once they were at the Japanese restaurant, Xiu Yingying enthusiastically poured Mo Baichuan some water, “Cousin, you should know why I came back from M Country to find you, right?”
“Why?” Mo Baichuan asked, drinking the water.
“Cousin, don’t you really know?”
“I don’t know.” Mo Baichuan’s face was devoid of any expression.
The men of the Mo family all shared a similar trait; they seldom smiled or spoke.
Xiu Yingying complained, “Cousin, you’re too boring. Even if you don’t know, wouldn’t you want to ask why I came back?”
“I don’t want to know.”
Xiu Yingying rolled her eyes, “Cousin, are you really not curious at all?”
Mo Baichuan found no need to converse any further.
Xiu Yingying continued, “Cousin, I’m just going to tell you. I came back for Mr. Mog. So, you must help me!”
