CHAPTER 101 - IS THE WORK SO IMPORTANT

This restaurant was indeed a 100 year old shop. Just after eating a few mouthfuls, Ginger was shocked by the incomparable taste in her mouth. The rich soup, the tender meat stuffing, her tongue had been completely conquered by this ordinary looking food.

Although he was facing such an impressive meal, Jiang didn't immediately gobble up the food. Therefore, when the old man sitting opposite her stopped after eating a few bites and observed her elegant eating style, he was even more sure that her identity was not ordinary.

When he first saw Jiang Yu, his sharp intuition told him that the other party was an outsider. He could even tell from her movements that she grew up in a comfortable environment.

Because of the old man's past experiences, he was very wary of all the strangers that suddenly appeared in his sight. The reason why he took the initiative to chat with Jiang Yu was to see what her goal was.

However, after chatting with her for a bit, the old man knew that he could retract his guard. This girl should really be an ordinary tourist and didn't appear in front of him with a purpose.

After eating a bowl of steaming wontons, Ginger rushed in front of the old man and paid for their breakfast.

Thank you, girl. The old man chuckled as he looked at her.

Perhaps it was because they had such a fortuitous encounter, but when they left the shop, the old man took the opportunity to ask her, Little girl, where are you going next? Any place you want to go?

Jiang Yu was suddenly stopped by the old man's question. She hesitated for a while before shaking her head: No, I don't know where I'm going. This is my first time in D City.

Perfect, then come with me to the square to play. It's rare for her to like you obediently. The old man seemed to like to smile. Ever since Jiang Yu saw him, he did not see the smile on the old man's face fade. At this moment, the old man was smiling even wider.

The old man's words made Jiang Xiaoxi smile. She lowered her eyes and looked at the puppy that was circling around her feet. She was very happy with his suggestion. Alright.

Jiang Yu thought that since she didn't have any friends here, he might be able to introduce her to the local customs and practices in this small city, so it wouldn't be in vain for her to come here.

The plaza mentioned by the old man wasn't far from here. It would only take him ten minutes to walk. Jiang Yu helped the old man pick up the dog and walked beside him. As they walked, they chatted.

Girl, did you come to D City alone? Why are you not with your friends? Aren't your parents worried? As they chatted, the old man started asking about Jiang Yu, It can't be that you quarreled with your boyfriend and ran away, right?

Although the old man's questioning tone had a hint of teasing, but there was still a hint of probing hidden within, Jiang Yu didn't understand the underlying meaning and thought he was just casually asking.

No, I'm not here alone. I'm here with … Ginger started to explain, but stopped midway, because she suddenly didn't know how to introduce Mo Yan to the others. On the surface, he was her husband, but neither of them acknowledged Mo Yan's identity.

With a boyfriend? When the old man saw her unnatural expression and the evasive look in her eyes, he immediately guessed, Then what about your boyfriend? Why didn't he accompany you? Is he still sleeping in the hotel?

Young people these days, work and rest are getting more and more irregular. Staying up late at night and sleeping during the day, how can your body take it if you continue like this!

Erm, he's not sleeping. He has a job here, so he can't accompany me.

Unexpectedly, the old man became even angrier after hearing her defend Mo Yan, and he only heard her snort before saying impolitely, This is even more inappropriate. As a man, how could he abandon his girlfriend? Is work, work, work that important?

When Jiang Yu saw the old man bowing to her, he immediately nodded his head and said, That's right. Although the work is very important, but you can't leave me alone, right? If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have come.

While the old man was talking with his nemesis, the two of them had already arrived at the square. There weren't many people there, just a few scattered tourists and their grandparents who had brought Sun Dai out to play. Ginger put the dog on the ground and let it play by itself. She accompanied the old man around the square and then found a quiet place to rest.

At this time, they had already exchanged greetings in just a short period of time. Jiang Yu also learned that the old man's surname was Pei, and he had lived in D city for five years now, so he had a very deep affection for this city.

Elder Pei, why are you staying in this city? Is it because your child is working here? Jiang Yu still asked this question. From her understanding, after a lifetime of struggle, many parents would leave the city they were used to, basically for the sake of their children.

Even if this kept them away from their homeland, in their hearts, the place where they had children was their home.

Therefore, Jiang Yu's conjecture was not reasonable, but she would never have thought that after the old man heard it, he fell silent. His eyes seemed to be looking into the distance, but in reality, they were reminiscing about distant events.

Did she ask something that should not be asked? Otherwise, why did Uncle Pei keep silent for such a long time? Jiang Qing's eyes were filled with worry, she did not know how to remedy the situation, she was normally sharp enough to speak, but at that moment, she had lost all her words.

He seemed to have just walked out from a reminiscing of his memories. In a somewhat weak voice, he said, Little girl, she's long gone, she's already been gone for so many years. I almost forgot her appearance.

The old man's eyes were filled with grief and helplessness. His tone of voice was filled with nostalgia as well. It seemed that the child's departure was the deepest pain in his heart. Even after many years, he still would not be able to let it go.

Perhaps he could only completely forget about her after he left this world. It was just that when he was gone, who in this world could still remember his daughter?

Even if Jiang Yu could only see the pain on the old man's face, he could still feel it. She blamed herself in her heart. If it wasn't for her curiosity that drove her to open her mouth so recklessly, the wound hidden in Elder Pei's heart would not have been reopened.

I'm sorry, Elder Pei, it's all my fault, Jiang Yu's face was full of self-blame, she bit her lips uneasily, not knowing how to comfort him, Why don't you scold me instead? She really couldn't see the old man reminiscing about the pain of his children. It reminded her of her mother and grandmother.

I must go home to see them when I get back to A City. I can't say that I have to be filial to them, but I have been busy with my work and ignored them.

Little girl, it's alright, Feeling the deep guilt in Jiang's heart, the old man turned his head, and his muddy yet still spirited eyes became moist. He waved his hand and saw that the little mutt that was circling around them hugged his leg, It's been so long, I've already let it go, and now it's obediently accompanying me. Don't look at him, he's just an animal, but he's very considerate.

Okay, Jiang nodded in agreement. She watched the old man lower his waist and pick up the dog, placing it on his knee and stroking its fur one after another. This warm scene made her feel all sorts of emotions.

Little girl, tell me, what do you think I'm not satisfied with? The old man had a profound look in his eyes, this sentence sounded like he was asking Jiang Yu, but also more like asking himself, If people are satisfied, then the higher the demand, the less they get.

Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.

For the entire morning, the two chatted and speculated more and more until the little mutt that had been neglected barked loudly.

Hungry? The old man patted the puppy's head and said, It's time to go back and feed you.

Seeing that the old man was about to leave, Jiang Yu also got up and prepared to return to the hotel. However, just as she was about to say goodbye to the old man, she heard him say: Girl, it's rare to have such fate. Now that you're by yourself, do you want to come to my house as a guest and accompany me, this old man?

Is that really possible? Of course Jiang Yu wanted to go, but she still asked politely. She was a bit embarrassed by the other party's sudden invitation. She hadn't even prepared a gift yet, how could she just go like this?

Of course you can! The old man held the puppy and looked at her. He shook his head and said, Let's go. It will be the peak hours later. There will be more and more people.

Hearing that, Jiang Yu immediately followed behind him, and the two of them left the square one after the other.

The old man's house wasn't far from here. Jiang Yu followed him and walked through the streets. They soon arrived at the place. Looking at the beautiful two-story villa in front of them, she said in surprise, Elder Pei, your house is so beautiful!

Can you not make your home beautiful? The old man turned his head towards her with a smile and said, Come in quickly. I can smell the fragrance coming from my house. I don't know what kind of good dishes I cooked today.

Hearing that, Jiang Yu also quickened his pace and followed the old man into the mansion.

There was a yard in the mansion that was filled with flowers and plants. The old man introduced Jiang Yu as he walked, and as they chatted, the two of them arrived at the living room.

We're here, lass, Elder Pei called out, calling out to her in a loud voice, Mother Wu, there's a guest at your house.

Elder Pei, how did you know that there was a guest at home? Not long after, Mother Wu appeared before him, her face filled with astonishment.

Why don't you know? Isn't this person by my side? The old man pointed to Jiang Yu beside him.

Hello, Mother Wu. Ginger guessed that it was because he was taking care of Elder Pei's aunt, so he greeted her.

Hello. Mother Wu quickly smiled and said to the old man, That's not it. There was also a guest at home this morning who asked to see you.

Really? Who is it? Hearing her words, Elder Pei hurriedly walked towards the living room.

Jiang Yu followed behind the old man and walked into the living room. Soon, he saw the figure that she was most familiar with.

Mo Yan, why are you here as well?

CHAPTER 102 - ARE YOU TRYING TO PERSUADE ME TOO

Do you want to talk me out of it too?

At this moment, not only were Old Man Pei and Mother Wu surprised by their acquaintance, even Jiang Yu and Mo Yan were dumbstruck by the other party's appearance. They had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Jiang Yu knew that the reason Mo Yan left early in the morning was probably because of that master, but he didn't expect it to be Elder Pei. What a coincidence.

It was only thanks to Mo Yan's calmness that he quickly regained his composure and introduced himself to Elder Pei, Hello, Old Man Pei. I am Mo Yan.

I know, you're that brat's boyfriend. Elder Pei didn't like the man who left his girlfriend behind, so he waved his hand impatiently without waiting for him to finish. He glanced at him and said, Tell me how you found this place, it can't be that you came to pick her up, right?

Earlier that day, Mo Yan had rehearsed how Elder Pei would react when he saw him and knew of his request. Whether he would be furious or ignore him, this was definitely not the case.

However, things often went against one's expectations. When Mo Yan saw Jiang Yu, who was chatting happily with Elder Pei, he had a strange feeling in his heart. He did not know if this was a good thing or bad thing. Thus, when he heard the accusation from Elder Pei, he did not rush to explain anything.

On the contrary, it was Jiang Yu who replied embarrassedly, Elder Pei, he is actually my husband, we are already married. She could imagine that if she didn't explain herself, Old Pei's next sentence would be to persuade them to break up. She could already tell from these short words that Old Pei was extremely against Mo Yan.

What, married? Elder Pei was surprised as expected. He looked at the averted Jiang Yu and then at the man who appeared out of nowhere. Hmm, he was quite a talented person. Just from his appearance, he was definitely worthy of this little girl. However, his character was something to be looked at once.

Yes, Elder Pei. I am Jiang Yu's husband, Mo Yan. At the same time, I am also the heir to the Mo Clan. Mo Yan knew that this was the best time for him to reveal his identity, even if Old Pei turned hostile upon hearing his identity.

However, perhaps it was because of Jiang Yu, Old Pei did not show much anger, he squinted his eyes, seemingly trying to remember something, after a long while he slowly asked Mo Yan: Mo Clan, Mo Zhentian is your father?

It's indeed my father, Old Pei. Mo Yan's attitude was respectful and cautious. He guessed that the other party might know his father, and Elder Pei's next words confirmed his suspicions.

Mo Chentian is my old friend. Dozens of years ago, when I was just a teenager, I was able to go to A City. He was the one who gave me a lot of help and helped me establish my foothold in that bustling and exciting city. Elder Pei's wrinkled face was filled with melancholy over the memories. Perhaps he was reminiscing about his lost youth, or perhaps he was reminiscing about the glorious years. It's a pity that we gradually drifted apart after being busy with our work. Now that I think about it, it's a pity …

Right, where's your father? Has he come as well? Halfway through his memories, Elder Pei suddenly asked.

No, he's still traveling around the world with my mother.

Tsk tsk, this old boy's life is really colorful. Elder Pei's eyes were filled with envy. Only then did he carefully examine Mo Yan and sigh, However, he has survived for a long time. With an outstanding successor like you, I'm sure he will travel because he doesn't need to worry about you.

At this point, the impression that Mo Yan left on Elder Pei rose by several levels. He changed from an inconsiderate man who didn't care about his girlfriend to the child of an old friend. His attitude towards him was no longer as repulsive as it was in the beginning.

Then why did you come this time? Only now did Old Man Pei remember what Wu Ma had said. Mo Yan had been waiting for him at home for a very long time.

After hearing his question, Mo Yan was prepared to tell Elder Pei his purpose for coming here. However, just as he was about to open his mouth, Mother Wu, who had just gone to obediently feed them, returned. Seeing that they were still standing in their original position, she immediately said, "Elder Pei, this meal is already prepared.

Wu Ma's words reminded Elder Pei of something as he chuckled, Yes, if you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner.

Come, sit down and eat. It's rare to see guests at home today. I feel like I can eat an extra bowl of rice today. Old Pei enthusiastically invited the two of them to sit at the dining table. From the expression on his face, it could be seen that he was truly happy.

Since the host was already so polite, as guests, they naturally wouldn't hesitate to sit down and sincerely praise the dishes that Mother Wu cooked.

It had been a long time since his home had been so lively. After leaving for so many years, it wasn't that no friends of his had come to visit him, but every time, he would let Mother Wu chase him away.

If it wasn't for the pleasant conversation he had with Jiang Yu, he might still be like this.

However, Old Pei, who was filled with joy, did not know that Mo Yan had a purpose for coming here …

What? You came here this time to persuade me to go back? After the meal, when Elder Pei heard Mo Yan's request, his gentle smile suddenly turned dark, and even his tone turned serious, Don't you know that I've long since decided never to pick up a carving knife again?

Old Pei, of course I know. Mo Yan knew that Old Pei was angry, but he couldn't give up just like that. It wasn't his style to retreat when faced with danger.

Forget it. No matter what reason you have, I don't want to hear it! Old man Pei interrupted Mo Yan's explanation without a second word. His tough attitude clearly showed that it was extremely difficult for Mo Yan to convince him to change his mind.

… Mo Yan let out a long sigh. He could tell that he would not be able to make Old Pei give in today. Although he was disappointed, he was not surprised. If Old Pei had been persuaded by him so easily, he would not have left A City so decisively back then.

The living room instantly quieted down, and the atmosphere was tense and strange. Mo Yan and Elder Pei did not speak up again, while Jiang Yu, who was by the side, did not know which side to stand on.

Even though Mo Yan was her husband and she should have stood by his side to help him persuade Elder Pei, she did not want to help him emotionally after having a heart to heart conversation with Elder Pei, as she could tell that the old man's current life was very happy.

Every day, he would practice boxing in the park to strengthen his body and take the dog for a stroll. Although it was ordinary and nothing exciting, after experiencing so many ups and downs, the old man's heart yearned for this kind of ordinary life.

So now to pull him out of this peaceful and happy life, just ask Ginger how not to get tangled up.

Elder Pei, I'm sorry, I've disturbed you today. In the end, Mo Yan felt that this matter would not end today. Thus, he asked the old man to take his leave. If he didn't leave now, would he be able to stay and be seen as an eyesore?

Old man Pei remained silent, showing no signs of wanting to keep him alive. Mo Yan was not disappointed either. He turned around and walked straight to the main entrance.

Jiang Yu stared. This man just left like that. He didn't even wait for her?

Little girl. Old man Pei didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that she didn't leave with Mo Yan, he sighed lightly, Why didn't you leave with him? Did you want to persuade me as well? After all, they were husband and wife. No matter what conflict they had, husband and wife were one.

Of course not! Jiang Yu immediately shook his head, afraid that people would misunderstand his response if he was too slow. She nervously smiled and explained: Elder Pei, I respect your decision. Even if the person who came to persuade you were my parents, I wouldn't interfere.

Jiang Yu's words were so sincere without any hint of falsehood, causing old man Pei to freeze for a moment, but he felt much more relaxed inside. He was just thinking, if Jiang Yu also came to advise him, then he really would have a headache.

You really are extraordinary, Elder Pei exclaimed. Let me guess, is your father the Jiang Clan's Jiang Shu An? To be able to marry the heir of the Mo Clan, her status must be on par with Mo Yan's clan. He pondered over and over again before concluding that the only clan with the surname Jiang and background in A City was the Jiang Clan.

Hearing that Elder Pei had guessed his identity, Jiang Yu did not deny it and immediately nodded his head. He thought that Elder Pei actually knew his father as well.

Old man Pei had indeed met Jiang Shouan a few times, but because of the different fields he was involved in, as well as his unsightly attitude towards Jiang Shouan, he had never been on good terms with him. Jiang Yu was actually the daughter of that kind of person, which really shocked him.

Jiang Shu has a good daughter! After Jiang Yu left, he kept muttering to himself and started to miss his daughter again. If she could survive, wouldn't she be like Jiang Yu, understanding and understanding?

When Jiang Yu returned to the inn, Mo Yan had just returned from outside. When she saw his haggard appearance, she couldn't help but be surprised. If he hadn't already left the Pei Clan, why would he have returned even later than she did?

Also, where did he go? Why did he make her feel a bit embarrassed?

This person usually paid the most attention to his image and could not tolerate even the tiniest blemish. How could he allow himself to be in such a sorry state now?

Mo Yan ignored her surprise. The moment he returned to his room and closed the door, he hurriedly took off his dirty clothes. He was truly unlucky today.

Jiang Yu was staring at him, seeing him undress without saying a word, taking off his suit and shirt, and finally taking off his suit pants, causing the unresponsive her to immediately shout in dissatisfaction: You want to take a bath, but you can't take it off? You have to stay outside, how good is it to show off your figure!

She knew that with his germaphobia, he definitely wouldn't be able to stand wearing dirty clothes, but there was no need to be in such a hurry.

While she was cursing, Mo Yan had already entered the bathroom. Jiang Yu sighed helplessly and picked up the dirty clothes on the floor, intending to have the guest room attendant take them for a dry cleaning later.

CHAPTER 103 - YOU HID IT PRETTY WELL

For Mo Yan to return in such a sorry state, it was due to his bad luck and bad luck.

After leaving Old Man Pei's residence, he had planned to return to the hotel first and continue to think about other options. However, he had gotten lost on the way back, and had walked in the opposite direction. Even so, what he could not accept the most was that he fell down because he was in a hurry and did not see a rock on the side of the road.

Ever since Mo Yan had grown up, he had never been as ugly as he was now. His posture when he fell was not that elegant at all. Luckily, this was in D city, a place that was thousands of miles away from A city. Otherwise, he would have been able to imagine that it would become a dark history if it were known.

Wrestling was nothing, but to Mo Yan, who was extremely concerned about his image, it was a very serious matter.

At this moment, he was standing under the shower, and warm water was splashing all over his body. This was the third time he had washed himself, and only now did he feel clean, as the bad luck and bad luck should have been washed away.

Because the heating in the room was on full blast, when he finally finished washing and wiped himself clean, he wrapped a towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom.

His upper body was exposed to the air, his skin the color of wheat, looking as if it had been coated with honey. Droplets of water dripped down the ends of his hair, flowing through his broad shoulders and firm abs …

It was a pity that no one was watching the beautiful figure that made the woman drool. Even Jiang Yu, the only person who could be a spectator, did not know that he had walked out of the bathroom.

Mo Yan's eyes turned cold. His gaze wandered around the room but did not find any sign of Jiang Yu. However, the sound from the television in the living room reminded him of something, so he walked towards the living room.

Sure enough, the TV in the living room was on, some unknown program was on, several couples were arguing intensely, and Jiang Yu was sitting on the sofa opposite the TV, his head lowered as he fiddled with something on his phone.

Seeing her relaxed appearance, Mo Yan felt infuriated. He quickly walked over and turned off the television.

Jiang was typing out a post on Weibo. She posted the photo of the street scene from that morning on Weibo. Soon, a fan of hers asked where the beautiful scene in the photo was.

She was just replying to the comments with a few of her more active fans when she felt the living room suddenly quiet down.

Looking up, Jiang Yu saw Mo Yan standing in front of her. His height of nearly 1.9m made her feel that he was looking down on her from above. What surprised her even more was that he did not wear his clothes in broad daylight. Who was he trying to seduce?

What do you turn off the TV? Can't you see that I'm watching it? At the same time, she was secretly cursing Mo Yan in her heart. Normally, she wouldn't reveal too much of herself, but now it was his turn to do what he wanted so that he could do it.

Are you watching TV? Mo Yan glanced at the phone in her hand and said confidently, Isn't this playing with it?

You can't watch TV when you're playing on your phone, can my ears listen well? Jiang Yu said coldly, If you don't want to be rejected by others, then just vent your anger on me, okay?

As soon as he said this, Mo Yan immediately glared at her with his cold eyes. His whole body was emitting a powerful aura as he attempted to suppress Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, What does it have to do with her?

In an instant, the atmosphere turned tense. Mo Yan's face was tense and he was a little angry from embarrassment, but Jiang Yu did not care what he was thinking about. He got up, grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV again.

Hearing the laughter coming from the television screen, Mo Yan was so angry that he had nothing to say as he watched this vulgar and boring performance. He silently turned around and left.

Sensing his departure, Jiang Yu stretched out his index and middle finger and made a triumphant gesture. He continued to swipe his Weibo and listen to the sounds coming from the TV.

However, she had still underestimated how perverted Mo Yan was. In less than ten minutes, Mo Yan had already changed his clothes and switched off the television.

Are you bored? Jiang Yu angrily threw his phone to the side, frowned and glared at him: You're bored, so just leave. Didn't you come to D City with a heavy responsibility? Why are you not going to continue now that you've suffered a setback?

Other than trying to convince Old Man Pei, there was nothing else Mo Yan could do. At this moment, he heard Jiang Yu's words and thought that she was mocking him. A layer of frost immediately appeared on her handsome face and she asked rudely: Hmph, I haven't asked you. You've known Elder Pei for a long time, yet you pretended you didn't know him yesterday and hid everything well!

Elder Pei and I only got to know each other today! Jiang Yu immediately retorted, what's with this man's tone, did he really blame himself for everything?

You only met today? As though he had heard a joke, the corners of Mo Yan's lips curled up into a smile. His voice contained a hint of cold ridicule, Stop lying!

Based on Elder Pei's amiable attitude towards her, it was impossible for them to have only met today. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a good friend of Old Pei's, Old Pei would have let him leave a long time ago.

Recalling the strange words that Elder Pei had just said, Mo Yan had reason to suspect that Jiang Wei had said something in front of Elder Pei. Didn't this woman always like to go against him?

Don't forget, you're still a member of the Mo Clan. Before doing anything, you should think about it more. Don't just focus on your own happiness!

How could Jiang Yu not understand the meaning behind Mo Yan's words? She looked at him suspiciously, only to see him staring at her with a dark expression. She protested unhappily once again, What is the meaning of this? What does Elder Pei not agree with you have to do with me?

You dare to say that you didn't say anything about me in front of Elder Pei? Mo Yan knew how much she was complaining about him. How could she not make good use of this situation?

Thank you so much, so in your heart, I'm actually this kind of person, Jiang Wei said as she stared at him, she could not accept his words. Then she smiled sinisterly and said, In order to live up to your expectations, I will definitely give you some words of praise when I see Elder Pei tomorrow.

Her words were filled with provocation, which clearly showed how infuriated she was by Mo Yan's conjecture.

Perhaps it was because the sarcasm in her words was too strong, Mo Yan actually had a little bit of trust in her. However, as he recalled the scene where he and Elder Pei were having a lot of fun together, he still asked, Since you're so confident that you're innocent, then tell me, when did you and Elder Pei meet?

Of course I met him today! At first, Jiang Yu didn't want to care about him, but then he remembered that she couldn't be slandered by him for no reason, so he coldly snorted and said: Who told someone to sneak out in the morning by himself, I can only wander around by myself, but after wandering around, I coincidentally met Elder Pei and we got to know each other. It's not like someone who went so early. They must be in a hurry."

What you said is true. Can there really be such a coincidence? It wasn't that Mo Yan couldn't hear the ridicule in her words, but he couldn't care less now. His heart was filled with disbelief.

Not only did she coincidentally get to know old man Pei on the streets, she even made him look at her in a new light. He could tell that Elder Pei was very friendly towards Jiang Yu. Otherwise, he would not have thought of the thought that they had met each other a long time ago.

If not for that, what would have happened? If I hadn't seen you at Old Pei's house, I wouldn't even have known that he was the Great Master that you wanted to meet! Jiang Yu's lips curled up into a helpless smile. One must know that when she met Mo Yan in the Pei household, she was also extremely shocked.

Hearing her mention it, Mo Yan recalled the scene. Indeed, Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with shock when he looked at him. That kind of expression didn't seem to be an act.

Then if Elder Pei really hadn't known Ginger for more than a day, why did he treat her so differently?

While Mo Yan was waiting for Old Pei to return, he had obtained a lot of information from Mother Wu. He knew that in the years Old Pei had been living in D City, he had no close friends or juniors with him. He had always been alone, so why would he look at Jiang Yu in a different light?

However, he recalled a rumor that the other reason why old man Pei had decided to disappear was because his only daughter had died in a car accident. Old man Pei felt that it was because he was too engrossed in his work that he had neglected his child, his only family.

If nothing had happened to that girl then, and she had grown up healthy and healthy, she should be around Jiang Yu's age. Then, would Elder Pei's warm attitude towards Jiang Yu be as if he thought of his own daughter just because he saw her?

Mo Yan fell into deep thought. His eyebrows rose and fell, while Jiang Yu sat opposite of him, staring at him calmly. The anger in his heart had yet to be completely extinguished.

Even though she knew that Mo Yan valued the meeting with Elder Pei a lot, she didn't expect it to be so important to him. Even though he appeared calm on the spot in the face of Elder Pei's rejection, she knew that he must have suffered some major setbacks after so many things just now.

As the president of the Mo Group, Mo Yan had absolute authority. Furthermore, with his outstanding ability, he definitely had not experienced the taste of failure before.

Before he saw Old Man Pei, he must have been extremely confident. However, he didn't expect Old Man Pei to reject him so straightforwardly. Even if he was the son of Mo Zhentian, it was useless.

At this point, Jiang Yu's mood improved a little. She couldn't guess whether Elder Pei would agree to his request, but she could foresee that as long as Mo Yan didn't give up on persuading Elder Pei, Elder Pei would have a hard time keeping him alive.

No one knew who would obtain the final victory in this tug of war.

CHAPTER 104 - DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU

Does this have anything to do with you

The night wind was always colder than the day. Mo Yan stood alone on the balcony of the luxurious suite. His boiling thoughts were slowly calming down.

Tonight, the moon was very round and bright, hanging high in the sky. The faint moonlight illuminated Mo Yan's solemn face, adding a trace of coldness and loneliness to his originally indifferent and cold demeanor.

In the afternoon, after he finished his argument with Jiang, he called his father, Mo Chentian. Because of the jet lag, it was early in the morning.

Mo Yan? When Mo Zhentian received Mo Yan's call, he was momentarily shocked. He lowered his voice and did not disturb Mo Yan's mother. Instead, he found an excuse and walked to a rather secluded place.

Dad, it's me. Even in the face of his father, Mo Yan's tone was light and indifferent. He did not explain why he suddenly made this call, but instead asked straightforwardly, Father, are you still in contact with Elder Pei?

Elder Pei? In the beginning, Mo Zhentian was still confused as to who the person Mo Yan was talking about was. After travelling with his wife for a few years, he no longer cared about the people and matters of the country. It took him a good while to guess who the person Mo Yan was talking about was.

Dad, Old Pei has already told me that you two were friends when you were young. Mo Yan continued. He didn't have the intention to ask his father to help him convince Old Pei. His pride and pride wouldn't allow him to make such a request. This was his battlefield and he alone would decide the victor or loser.

You met him? Mo Chentian's tone was somewhat surprised, but most of it was dismal, He and I have not contacted each other for a long time, and even that year when he left A City, I only found out about it a long time later.

His words were within Mo Yan's expectations, so he was not disappointed.

How did you find him? Didn't you say that he had been missing for many years? Mo Zhentian started to have a strong interest in this. His son suddenly asked him about a person who had already disappeared, and there must be a reason for it.

He understood Mo Yan just as he understood himself. They were father and son, but they were also of the same kind.

Since things had already progressed to this stage, there was no longer any need for Mo Yan to hide anything. Thus, he told Mo Zhentian everything that he planned to do. He believed that even if his father faced this situation, his stance would be the same as Mo Yan's.

As expected, after Mo Zhentian understood the sequence of events, he praised, You have such a great plan, you are indeed worthy to be my, Mo Zhentian's, son.

But right now, I'm not sure if I can follow through with that idea. If I can't convince Elder Pei within a week, I can only give up for now. There wasn't much time left for Mo Yan. He had to change Old Pei's mind as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he didn't succeed this time, the next time he came to D City, it would be even more difficult for him to move Old Pei.

Hearing him say this, Mo Zhentian also fell into silence. He could feel the urgency of this matter. Otherwise, this son of his would not have called him.

You can go and check on old man Pei's condition. Perhaps, you can find the right direction. Mo Chentian was quiet for a moment before he suddenly uttered these words. Before Mo Yan could understand what was going on, he hung up the phone.

Mo Yan, who was still lost in his thoughts, did not have the time to ponder on this. Instead, he quickly gave Xu Yifan a call, asking him to quickly find out what had happened to Old Man Pei when he was younger.

So half an hour ago, he finally received that piece of old story. When he opened up the information he received from the diary, not only was he shocked by the story of Elder Pei, he was also stunned by Jiang Yu who was staring at him out of curiosity.

That piece of information not only recorded the glory that Old Pei had once gained, it also revealed that Old Pei, who had once been admired by the masses, had lost his wife and daughter in the span of ten years, becoming a true loner. This incident had only happened to his family because Old Pei was too busy with his work to care about his family.

However, what did this mean? He couldn't resurrect a dead person, so after learning about this matter, Mo Yan became even more confused. He didn't understand the meaning behind his father's request for him to investigate this matter.

While he was lost in thought on the balcony, Jiang Yu didn't act as if she was doing her own thing. She stood in front of the balcony's sliding door and watched the man's bleak back. Her heart slightly moved.

Is the moon that beautiful? Jiang Yu hesitated, then pushed open the door of the balcony and walked in. He had to admit, the balcony's location was excellent, the floors were high, and his field of vision was very wide.

In response to her interruption, Mo Yan only shot an indifferent glance at her. Although he did not answer her question, his attitude had already given her the answer.

Are you still going to look for Elder Pei tomorrow? Jiang Yu did not stop at his indifferent attitude, and continued to ask, Aren't you worried that elder Pei will shut the door and eat your food?

Does this have anything to do with you? As Mo Yan heard this, he clenched his fists. Under the night sky, his cold eyes appeared exceptionally heavy, while the words he spoke contained a hint of mockery.

It has nothing to do with me, Jiang Yu said with a faint smile, I just wanted to tell you that I have an appointment with Elder Pei, and will be his guest tomorrow.

Mo Yan was instantly attracted by his flaunting tone. He was slightly surprised as he turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with disbelief.

You don't believe me? Seeing his doubts, Jiang Yu Yun calmly said, It doesn't matter, I'm just telling you.

Exactly what was so special about her that made Old Man Pei treat her differently? A sense of defeat rose up in Mo Yan's heart. If it weren't for her as a comparison, he might not have been so anxious.

So what? Mo Yan didn't reveal a trace of helplessness. He coldly turned his face away, leaving Jiang Yu with a perfect yet cold face. No matter what he thought, he was still the proud CEO of the Mo Clan. He wouldn't hand over his weakness to anyone else.

This man was still stubborn even at this point. Did he think that elder Pei would still be willing to see him tomorrow? Jiang Yu couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

What I want to tell you is, even though I've already promised Elder Pei that I wouldn't help you convince him, I can still help you. As for the future matters, you can only rely on your own efforts. She spoke with a calm expression, but her words caused great waves to surge in Mo Yan's heart.

What did she mean by this? Was she worried that he wouldn't be able to see Elder Pei, so she took the initiative to help him? Mo Yan couldn't believe her words. Since when did this woman have such good intentions? She had specially come to tell him.

Are you so sure that Elder Pei isn't willing to see me? After a long while, Mo Yan coldly spoke.

I didn't say that, Jiang Qisha said with a wink, a sly glint in her eyes. I'm just giving you a shortcut. Whether you want to leave or not is your problem.

Besides, she also had this thought as she also felt a burden in her heart. Even though she didn't really help Mo Yan, she was still a side character. If she didn't see that Old Man Pei wasn't unmoved by Mo Yan's words, she wouldn't have come up with this idea.

Jiang Yu's words had indeed moved Mo Yan. He did not have much time left to waste, and it would be best if he quickly came to a decision. Since the opening of the origin realm was soon to begin, he had no choice but to return and take charge.

However, did he really have to do as she said? Mo Yan hesitated. He could not figure out Jiang You's motive for doing so, and he did not believe that she would have no desire for him.

The two of them did not speak for a long time, and the atmosphere immediately became heavy, the thick night sky also increased the depressing atmosphere. Jiang Yu could not bear the pressure and said, I'm going to rest, think about it carefully. He then turned around and left.

Mo Yan didn't make a sound to urge her to stay. In the blink of an eye, he was left alone on the empty balcony. It was just right for him to think in peace and quiet.

Indeed, those few words of Jiang Yu's had truly grabbed onto his weak spot, making it impossible for him to say no. If old Pei did not even give him a chance to meet, then no matter how good of a reason he had, it would be of no use at all.

That night, Mo Yan stood alone on the balcony, pondering for a very long time. He had not made a decision, but when he saw that he was alone in his room the next day, he felt a tinge of regret.

Where did you go? He dialed Jiang Yu's number with a voice full of questions. Didn't she say she would help him? Why is she gone now? Was she playing with him?

I'm at the Flower Bird Market. Jiang Yu seemed to be in a very good mood. Mo Yan could clearly hear her excited voice from the phone.

Why didn't you call me when you went out? Mo Yan's face immediately darkened. He was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yu's departure.

I called you, but you slept too deeply, Jiang Yu's tone was neither cold nor hot, So do you want to come over now, but I'm going to Elder Pei soon.

Mo Yan had nothing to say. Even though he did not believe her, he had no other choice. He could only suppress his anger as he slowly said, Alright, I'll wait for you at Elder Pei's side.

When he hung up the phone, Jiang Yu, who was in the middle of shopping at the Flower Bird Market, snickered. Although Mo Yan did not state it clearly on the phone just now, did his tone indicate that he had given in?

See? Mo Yan was usually aloof and aloof, as though nothing could hurt him. But now, he had encountered a troublesome problem.

After strolling around the Flower Bird Market, Ginger picked out several types of potted plants, most of which were easy to live and take care of. She didn't know what Elder Pei liked, but she believed that these would definitely satisfy him.

Seeing that she had bought so many potted plants, the owner was obviously overjoyed and treated her like a big customer. As soon as the bill was settled, he sent one of the employees to drive the goods back to Ginger and solve a lot of problems for him.

However, when the employee kindly offered to help her carry everything to Mr. Pei's courtyard, Jiang Yu rejected his kind offer and said: No need, someone will move in a while. You should go back first.

CHAPTER 105 - DOES HE REALLY NOT WANT TO SEE ME?

Does he really not want to see me?

Not even five minutes after the employee drove away, Jiang Yu, who was guarding the front door, finally arrived at the late Mo Yan.

You bought all this? When Mo Yan saw the magnificent scenery in front of the gate, he was obviously very surprised. Looking at Jiang Yu's signature smile, he had a bad feeling about this.

Of course, did you buy it? Jiang Yu asked with a smile that was not a smile, his expression carrying a strong sense of provocation.

When Mo Yan saw her expression, his heart immediately sank. However, thinking that these were definitely gifts that she had bought for Elder Pei, he only frowned slightly and mocked, Buying so much, what do you think we should do?

He thought that Ginger would worry about how he was going to get into Old Pao's yard after hearing this, but to his surprise, Ginger just smiled and said nothing.

Isn't this the same as you? As a man, you definitely wouldn't bear to let me move it, right? Jiang Yu smiled for a while before revealing his intentions to Mo Yan. Mo Yan stared at her in disbelief.

He also instantly understood the meaning behind Jiang Yu's words. She already had the idea of asking him to be a laborer from the very beginning. Presumably, she was waiting here for this reason as well, otherwise, she would have thought of moving in long ago.

You're thinking pretty well! Mo Yan smiled coldly as his eyes turned sinister. No one had ever ordered him to do anything before. She was truly the first one!

Whether I think it's beautiful or not, we'll know in a while. Facing his mockery, Jiang Yu was not angry. In any case, later on, she would let him know that sometimes people have to lower their heads under the eaves, even if he didn't want to.

As soon as she finished speaking, she rang the doorbell of Old villa Pei. Very soon, Mother Wu opened the door.

Miss Jiang, you're here. Elder Pei has been waiting for you for a long time. Seeing that it was her, Mother Wu smiled as she conveyed Elder Pei's message.

Hehe, I have some things to take care of, so I came right after I was done, Jiang Yu said with the same smile.

At this moment, Mother Wu not only saw the potted plants outside the door, but also saw Mo Yan, who was not far away. At this moment, Mother Wu not only saw the potted plants outside the door, but also Mo Yan, who was not far away,

Mother Wu, is Old Pei really not willing to see me at all? It wasn't that Mo Yan had never expected such a situation to occur, but when he did encounter such a situation, he realized that he was still unable to accept it rationally.

Why did old man Pei not even give him a chance? If he could not convince him with his words, he would not be this disappointed, because at least he had tried, but the result was unsatisfactory. However, if he were to be rejected, he would feel that he would not even have the chance to work hard. That would be his greatest regret.

Mr. Mo, I'm sorry.

Although Mother Wu did not give him a clear answer, her attitude had already explained everything. Mo Yan's face was as ugly as an eggplant that had been beaten by frost.

Mother Wu could not bear to see him act this way. She had a good impression of Mo Yan and felt that he was a good young man. However, since Elder Pei had already given the orders, she could not go against his wishes.

Miss Jiang, please follow me in first. I'll think of a way to move these things in later.

Mother Wu, there's no need to trouble you. Since I've bought so many, I've naturally considered moving in, Jiang Yu shook her head and rejected her good intentions. How can I let you move in? These potted plants are too heavy!

Her words caused Wu Ma to be stunned. Could it be that Miss Jiang's meaning was that she would be able to move these potted plants herself?

How can that be? Wu Ma quickly retorted. She was thinking like Ginger, a girl with a noble background. She had probably never done heavy work before, so how could she move it.

Seeing her doubtful gaze, Jiang Yu knew that she must have misunderstood, so she smiled, Mother Wu, I'm not here to move this, don't we have a ready-made helper here?

A ready-made helper? Mother Wu was stunned for a moment before quickly understanding the meaning behind her words. Could the helper she was referring to be Mister Mo? Without waiting for Jiang to reveal the answer, Mother Wu shifted her gaze to Mo Yan at the side.

Miss Jiang, this isn't good. Let me do it. Mother Wu did not dare to allow Mo Yan to do such a thing. In the end, she was still worried that Elder Pei would get angry.

She bent down and began to stroke her sleeves, but how could Jiang make her actually move them? Thus, she shot a look at Mo Yan before quickly stopping Mother Wu. She pulled her back and said, Mother Wu, please let him move. If Old Man Pei blames us, just say that I let him in.

Seeing that Jiang Yu's attitude was so firm, mother Wu didn't know what to do. She knew that elder Pei didn't like Mo Yan, but she didn't know the reason behind it.

Mother Wu, don't worry. Seeing that her expression was relaxed, Jiang Yu knew that this was a good thing and tried again. Although her tone was soft, but she secretly hid a strong attitude and couldn't say it.

Following her words, the aura around her body changed. It was no longer gentle and gentle, but instead, it gave off a domineering feeling. Mother Wu was immediately shocked by her aura.

Oh, I don't care, said Mother Wu after a while, with a helpless look on her face, I didn't see anything.

Seeing that his mother was so convinced by Jiang Wei, even the normally calm Mo Yan could no longer remain calm, especially when Jiang Wei beckoned for him to move. He could not help but ask, If you let me in, aren't you worried that elder Pei will be angry with you?

His dark eyes were filled with doubt. Mo Yan suspected that Jiang Yu was doing this on purpose. He might turn hostile and deny it.

I'm worried, Jiang said, pretending to be afraid. But I want to help you. Why, don't you want to help me? If she didn't want to, then she had no other choice.

Even if Mo Yan was unwilling, Old Pei had already made it clear that he did not want to see him. However, the things that he wanted to say were already on the point and he had no choice but to give up.

Under Ginger's sparkling eyes, Mo Yan finally bent his noble waist and lifted up the potted plant.

Is that right? Jiang Yu nodded his head in satisfaction, and reminded him, I'll leave all of this to you, I'll go in and see Elder Pei first. With that said, he walked into the yard with light steps, looking extremely satisfied.

Mo Yan's expression turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He had been extremely unlucky to be rejected by Old Man Pei without a word, and now this woman had casually ordered him to go meet Old Man Pei. If he didn't want to meet her, he really wanted to leave.

He was currently giving her the upper hand. However, when they returned to A City, he would have plenty of opportunities to discipline her and would treat it as giving her a little bit of face. After that, he would make her pay with interest.

Jiang Yu could guess that Mo Yan hated him to death, but she did not care about that. In any case, that man had always treated her very badly. Even if today's incident did not happen, he would not have treated her well.

Elder Pei, I'm here. I heard from mother Wu that you've been waiting for me for a long time? After Ginger entered the house, he saw Old Pei staring at the chess board in front of him attentively on the soft sofa in the living room.

Isn't it so? I told you to come early in the morning, why are you stalling so much! Boss Pei looked unhappy.

I'm sorry, Elder Pei. I was delayed by some matters today, so I definitely won't do it again. Jiang Yu chuckled as he admitted his fault, but couldn't help but look at the chessboard from the corner of his eyes.

She could tell that before she came, Old Man Pei had been playing chess with her. This feeling must have been rather boring. No wonder he brought her here so early. He wanted to play chess with her.

As expected, after hearing her explanation, Elder Pei did not get angry anymore. However, he rolled his eyes and took the chance to ask: I hate people who lack the concept of time the most, but since you are the first offender, forget it, but you have to play chess with me as compensation, do you understand?

How can I not understand, Jiang Yu thought to himself. He knew that Pei Lao's anger was fake, but loneliness is real, that's why he asked for this from her. Thinking about it made sense. Although Wu Ma was taking care of his life and even had a little dog to change his mood, it still couldn't compare to the company of his family.

Thinking about the information that Mo Yan had received from his computer, Jiang Yu felt mixed feelings in his heart. She suddenly understood the feelings that Elder Pei had in the past.

Because of this, after Mo Yan made his request, old man Pei, despite his slight intentions, suddenly turned hostile and refused to give him a chance.

Little girl, what are you thinking about? Are you not willing? Seeing her remain silent for a long time, Elder Pei was perplexed.

No, Elder Pei, Jiang Yu came back to his senses and shook his head. Elder Pei, you're mistaken. I was wondering if all the potted plants I bought have been moved in.

For me? Elder Pei asked curiously. He understood the moment he heard that Jiang Yu had bought this for him. Who told her that he was interested in these flowers and plants?

Of course, Elder Pei. Why don't you go out and take a look? Jiang Yu blinked his eyes, I don't know if it's your wish, but if you don't like it, it's still too late to retreat.

There was no way Elder Pei would not want to see it. His greatest interest was taking care of these flowers and plants, even if Jiang Wei did not mention it, he would take the initiative to take a look.

Alright, let's go take a look first. After you're done reading, you'll have to play chess with me! Elder Pei's happy eyes narrowed, he walked into the courtyard with Jiang Yu.

At this moment, while Mo Yan was going back and forth, there were already some potted plants in the courtyard. There were ornamental potted plants and even a variety of bonsai trees. When Elder Pei saw this, he immediately walked over with interest and
