Mo Xunjie stood by the window and watched his mother walk alone with her luggage. He clenched his fists in frustration. In the end, the thing that he least wanted to see still developed into this scene.
When Li Mengqin turned around and saw Mo Xunjie standing by the windowsill with a sorrowful expression, she raised her head and smiled at her only son. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were the baptism of time. She waved her hand and with the help of the driver, Old Wu, she followed the winding path down the mountain.
Li Mengqin's face was clearer than ever before. Mo Xunjie did not even notice that Li Mengqin's hair had already turned white.
His mother was really old.
Mo Xunjie didn't chase after her. He just watched Li Mengqin leave silently. Mo Xunjie didn't know if his mother, who had been the daughter of a rich family for her entire life, could accept the ordinary life that she would lead in the future.
Mo Xunjie's heart tightened. The bitter taste in his mouth made him feel very uncomfortable. He was the famous Third Young Master of Rong City, but he couldn't do anything about his mother's departure.
The only thing he could do was to entrust the restaurant in Lin Hai to his uncle. If his uncle managed it smoothly, with his help and his mother's shares in Mo Corporation, he believed that his mother's life would not be too difficult.
Luo Weiru silently stared at Mo Xunjie, who was half-hidden in the light. The expression on his face was one of solemnity and sorrow that she had never seen before.
Luo Weiru did not know what had happened, but she could tell from the heavy atmosphere in the house.
In the end, she couldn't help but stand up, walk over, and gently wrap her arms around Mo Xunjie's waist. Mo Xunjie didn't move, allowing Luo Weiru to tighten her arms and bury her soft body into his embrace.
"Don't worry, you still have me."
She raised her head, her long eyelashes scattered like a fan, thick and curled, as delicate and cute as a doll. His dark eyes shone brightly in the shape of a half-moon bay under the sunlight. Her fair and smooth skin looked even more radiant and translucent under the sunlight. The dark blue capillaries under her skin were clearly visible.
Her long black hair was permed into wavy curls that draped over her shoulders, making her look even more like a doll.
Mo Xunjie pursed his lips and stretched out his arms, hugging Luo Weiru tightly in his arms.
Luo Weiru gently pressed her face against his chest. Plop, plop, plop. It was the sound of his heart beating.
"Everything will get better."
He seemed to be talking to her, but also seemed to be mumbling to himself.
Luo Weiru closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of warmth.
However, her thoughts instantly fell on Luo Tao.
A betrothal gift of 100 million yuan was something Luo Tao could think of.
Luo Weiru understood that this 100 million yuan was not Luo Tao's so-called betrothal gift, but his huge gambling debt. Luo Weiru didn't dare to imagine that if Mo Tingjun really gave her father 100 million yuan this time, wouldn't Luo Tao become even worse?
With such a treasure-like existence like the Mo family, how could Luo Tao let it go?
Luo Weiru's heart sank when she thought of this.
No, no matter what, she had to stop Luo Tao from attacking the Mo family.
Putting aside the fact that she wasn't the daughter-in-law of the Mo family, even if she was, she couldn't bear to see Luo Tao gamble and spend the Mo family's money so casually.
Luo Weiru's hands involuntarily tightened.
**
New Moon Harbor Cafe.
Luo Weiru was wearing champagne-colored sunglasses and an ordinary black waist-hugging dress as she walked into the cafe.
This was the place where she had arranged to meet Luo Tao after she had obtained his phone number with great difficulty.
After Luo Weiru entered the cafe, she first looked around to make sure that there were no reporters following her. Then, she flashed into the Athena private room of the cafe.
Inside the private room, a man in his fifties was wearing a black-and-white striped T-shirt, khaki casual pants, a pair of sneakers, and a straw hat. His eyes were constantly sizing up the sexy and revealing young girls passing by through the transparent glass window.
This man was undoubtedly Luo Tao.
Luo Weiru frowned in disgust. Any girl would be disgusted to see a middle-aged man in his fifties staring at the thighs of a young girl passing by on the road. Moreover, the man in front of her was actually her father.
"Dad, you're here." Luo Weiru sat down opposite Luo Tao." Sorry I'm late."”
Luo Tao reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the naked thighs outside the window and shifted it to his daughter's flawless face.
"Why are you looking for me?" Luo Tao leaned against the sofa and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Luo Weiru frowned." Dad, this is a no-smoking area. Don't smoke here."”
Luo Tao rolled his eyes at Luo Weiru and put the cigarette into his mouth as if he didn't hear her, puffing out smoke.
"How is Mom? How are you doing in the hospital?" Luo Weiru resisted the urge to cough from the cigarette and said reluctantly.
" Phew..." Luo Tao spat out the cigarette in his mouth at Luo Weiru's face. The dark green smoke mixed with the strong smell of tobacco made Luo Weiru's brows tighten.
"Don't worry. He wouldn't die. When I was hiding from the debt, I set aside all the medical expenses for the hospital. Your mother is my life-saving talisman. I can't let her die even if I die, right?”Luo Tao bared his yellow teeth, looking a little disgusted." You called me here for this?”Luo Tao narrowed his eyes as if he was asking Luo Weiru if she dared to tell him the truth.
"Of course not just for this."”If it was just for her mother, Luo Weiru could go to the hospital to visit her.
"You, did you go to look for my father-in-law?”Luo Weiru finally said the words that she had been holding in her heart for a long time.
Luo Tao narrowed his eyes as if he had expected her to ask this question. "That's right, I did go to look for my in-laws. Speaking of which, you wretched girl, you actually didn't tell your father that you've hooked up with such a big tree like the Mo family, causing your father to remind you all day long. You're really too unfilial.”Luo Tao thought of the miserable days he had to live in order to avoid debt collection. He was furious at Luo Weiru." If it weren't for the fact that you're still the daughter-in-law of the Mo family, hmph hmph.”
Luo Weiru didn't expect Luo Tao to really have designs on the Mo Corporation. She anxiously said,""Dad! How could you do this! The Mo Corporation is not something we can afford to provoke.”
"What is there that we can't afford to provoke? Didn't I just ask the in-laws for 100 million yuan? That old man was so rich. Did he think that the betrothal gift of 100 million yuan was too much for his precious son to get married? I'm already giving him face by not asking him for 1 billion.”Luo Tao was still boasting shamelessly.
Luo Weiru's expression was extremely ugly. Luo Tao didn't know that Luo Weiru and Mo Xunjie's marriage was just a contract. If this contract could be hidden from Mo Tingjun, it would be fine. What if one day, this contract marriage couldn't be hidden anymore? Then, who would be the one to accept Mo Tingjun's wrath?
A sharp woman like her mother-in-law was still taken care of by Mo Tingjun. Luo Weiru wasn't stupid. She knew that once the matter was exposed, Mo Tingjun would definitely ask Luo Weiru and Luo Tao about the whereabouts of the 100 million yuan. When Luo Tao couldn't take it out, wouldn't she be able to repay him?! That was 100 million, not 100! Even if she sold herself, Luo Weiru wouldn't be able to earn 100 million! At that time, if she could not come up with the money, the Mo family would definitely take legal action. At that time, she would not be the only one who would be ruined.
Luo Weiru wanted to clarify things with Luo Tao, but she was worried that with Luo Tao's character, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not tell anyone about this. Luo Weiru could only remain silent.
"100 million is too much! You should at least think about me!”Luo Weiru knew that Luo Tao would not change his mind easily, so she could only tactfully ask him to take a step back.
"Is 100 million really a lot? As far as I know, Mo Xunjie spent nearly 50 million on your wedding of the century, right? As for the 30 million you gave me earlier, it should be Mo Xunjie who gave it to you, right?”
Luo Weiru saw how easily Luo Tao had guessed the source of the 30 million, so she simply said,""Since you know that the 30 million was given by Mo Xunjie, you should understand that the Mo family doesn't owe us anything! Isn't 30 million enough? How long do you want to be a vampire?”
When these words came out of her mouth, Luo Weiru realized that she was about to be in big trouble! Mom, Mom was still in Luo Tao's hands. If her words angered Luo Tao, and Luo Tao instructed the hospital to stop taking the medicine for Mom…Everything would be terrible!
"Luo Weiru, you better remember what you said today. Who do you think you are? How dare you say that about me?”Luo Tao flew into a rage. All these years, he had been eating and drinking Luo Weiru's food without feeling guilty at all. Why? Wasn't it because Luo Weiru was his daughter? As a father, it was natural for him to eat and drink his daughter's food. Who asked him to raise this daughter! This was what Luo Weiru deserved.
"Luo Weiru, if you don't want to give me money, then don't blame me for being impolite.”Luo Tao said coldly and stood up. He was about to leave the coffee shop without looking back.
"No!" Luo Weiru panicked. No! Father, I was wrong! Please don't!"
If there was anyone in this world that Luo Weiru cared about, it would be her mother. Luo Tao, her father, had only brought endless nightmares to Luo Weiru. Her mother was the only thing holding Luo Weiru back in this world. It wasn't that Luo Weiru didn't want to bring her mother to her side to escape from Luo Tao's clutches. It was just that Luo Tao and her mother's marriage was something that Luo Weiru, as a daughter, couldn't interfere with! This was why Luo Tao could threaten Luo Weiru time and time again.
Luo Weiru had tried to persuade her mother to get a divorce many times, but her mother had never agreed.
Luo Weiru clearly felt a chill in Luo Tao's words just now. Luo Weiru told herself that no matter what she did, she could not let Luo Tao hurt her mother in the slightest.
Luo Weiru bit her lips tightly and fell to her knees in front of Luo Tao. Compared to her mother, all her dignity and pride were nothing to Luo Weiru.
Luo Weiru's submission made Luo Tao's smile deepen. As long as he was still married to Zhao Jiafang, as long as he was still her husband, as long as Zhao Jiafang's health did not recover, as long as Zhao Jiafang did not die, he would be able to threaten Luo Weiru at any time.
Luo Tao turned around and sat down on the sofa again."Why didn't you do this earlier? I don't want to do anything to you. You're my daughter after all.”
Luo Tao said sarcastically. Luo Weiru stubbornly bit her lips and tried her best not to let her tears fall from her eyes.
Luo Weiru knew that she would have to live under Luo Tao's tyranny for the rest of her life.
"Be sensible and inform Mo Tingjun to prepare the 100 million yuan. I have time to wait, but it depends on your mother.”Ever since he found out that Luo Tao was the father-in-law of the head of Mo Corporation, Luo Tao's status had risen. Many people who looked down on him before had to bow to him now. This made Luo Tao's petty mentality swell up even more.
"This 100 million…I really can't. Can't it be less?”Luo Weiru raised her head, her big eyes filled with pleading.
Luo Tao frowned in disgust and said firmly,"No."
Luo Weiru seemed to have heard the sound of something shattering.
