Chapter 12: Is She Worthy?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mo Chi had always been respectful to the old man, but when he spoke, he belittled Qin Ran. He couldn’t bear to listen and could only talk back.

“Pay respects? Is she worthy? Only the people I personally picked are qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Mo Family.” The old man did not even turn his head as he spoke. He even picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

“I’m not worthy, but a family that doesn’t even have basic courtesy and respect isn’t worthy for me to marry.” Qin Ran never spoke out against others easily unless she couldn’t help it.

However, the greatest effect of this sentence was to make Old Mr. Mo stands up angrily and turns around to face her and Mo Chi. “This is the good girl you brought back. She has no manners!”

“If she doesn’t have any upbringing, then what about the lady from a prestigious family who drugged me?” With such underhanded means, the so-called prestigious family might not even be comparable to the brothels in Fireworks Alley.

When the old man heard this, his expression became even darker. In order to let Mo Chi settle down and to quickly carry his great-grandson, he had introduced many girls to his grandson recently. Which of those people did not want to marry into the Mo Family? Not only could they help their maiden families, they could also enjoy a lifetime of wealth and status. Under the temptation of benefits, they did not know shame.

“Auntie Li, add a few more dishes.” Mo Quan had been arrogant for his entire life. Now, he had already admitted defeat.

There were a total of eighteen dishes and two soups on the dining table. Qin Ran was very interested in the eel after tasting it. But after eating a few mouthfuls, she suddenly heard a commotion outside. Shortly after, Butler Xue walked in. “Second Young Master is back.”

“Quick, quick, let him come over. This child is just in time to eat.” Elder Mo’s smile relaxed, his face full of kindness and care.

With just one sentence, Qin Ran could tell that this old man was definitely biased towards this Second Young Master. As expected, most parents in the world were biased. As she looked at Mo Chi, who was beside her, there was an additional look of sympathy in her eyes.

“Grandpa, let him in after I leave.” Mo Chi put down his spoon and said.

“It’s not easy for your second uncle to come here. You can’t possibly not let him in just because you’re here, right?” As the old man spoke, he waved at the butler, gesturing for him to invite his son in.

“I don’t want to see him.” Mo Chi’s tone was cold. Seeing the anger in the old master’s eyes grow, he added, “Last month, I was chased by people at the International Lihua Hotel and almost lost my life. After investigation, those people were sent by Second Uncle.”

If Mo Huai hadn’t returned in time, Mo Chi would have kept these words to himself for the rest of his life. Although his grandfather’s attitude towards him wasn’t good, he had ultimately handed over the entire Tian Mo Corporation to him. This means that in his heart, he had this grandson, so he wanted to maintain a superficial peace with his second uncle and not make things ugly, hurting his grandfather’s heart.

“This… How is this possible?” Mo Huai acted quite filial in front of the old man. He listened to everything he said, so it was no wonder he didn’t believe him.

“Grandpa, you can choose not to believe me, but today is the first time that Qin Ran has come to visit you. Are you sure you don’t want to finish this meal together?” Mo Chi picked up the spoon that he had just placed down and slowly took a sip of the soup. When he saw that the old master still had the intention to meet Qin Huai, he slowly said, “Qin Ran is pregnant, so she can’t be angry.”

“Really?” Mo Quan, who had been calm for most of his life, could not hide the joy in his eyes. God knew how long he had been waiting for his great-grandson. This was the most celebrated thing he had heard this year.

What was different from Old Mr. Mo was that the current Qin Ran felt as if she was being used as a shield. No wonder Mo Chi was so carefree. It was because he had such heavy news.

“Old Xue, tell Huai’er that I have something urgent to attend to. Let him come another day.”

Not long after Butler Xue left, he heard vulgarities that were so bad from outside. It was obvious that Second Uncle had put the blame on Mo Chi and was currently receiving “polite” greetings.

Not knowing that Qin Ran was pregnant, Old Mr. Mo didn’t put her in his eyes. At this moment, he felt that letting her watch such a farce on her first visit wasn’t beneficial for their future interactions. Thus, he called Auntie Sun over and gave her some instructions.

Soon, the noise outside gradually died down. Mo Chi knew that the Old Master had used money to shut Mo Huai up.

This second uncle of his was two years younger than him. Relying on his identity as the second young master of the Mo family, he went out to eat, drink, prostitute, and gamble, committing all sorts of evil deeds. Every time he was cheated by someone and lost money, he would go back to the old mansion with a thick face. He would play pitiful, cry, and swear to change his ways. Every time, he would make the old master soft-hearted, raise him up high, and let him off lightly.

It was the fault of the old master for getting this youngest son at such an old age. He was the most biased. Since he didn’t educate him well, he could only take the money to mend the void.
