Chapter 2278: Chapter 82: As Long As We Live, We Remain Brothers
Although An Lin’s death cannot be blamed on Mo Xin.
But the fact that four years ago Mo Xin tried to seduce Mo Ziye, causing Qingqing to misunderstand, leading to their breakup is undeniable.
Later, Mo Xin admitted her mistake, saying she was momentarily confused.
However, she no longer had the face to stay in the Mo family and went to S City with her parents.
Just as Qin Qingqing said, Mo Xin was raised by Wen Ran and Mo Xiuchen, they treated her as their own, it’s impossible not to have feelings.
But she made a mistake, and a mistake is a mistake.
Even if it were her own daughter, Wen Ran would not condone such a mistake.
Qin Qingqing nodded lightly, "Aunt Wen, I know."
The last time Mo Ziye wanted to take her to see Mo Xin, he just wanted to give her an explanation.
But later, he returned to the Imperial City with Shi Xi.
Wen Ran smiled slightly and changed the topic, asking, "Qingqing, Ziye wants me to choose a date for you. Do you prefer before or after the New Year?"
Qin Qingqing was stunned.
For a moment, she couldn’t follow Wen Ran’s train of thought.
After a moment, a blush appeared on her eyebrows, and she said with a giggle, "Aunt Wen, I’ll listen to Brother Ziyi, and also to you and Uncle Mo, as well as my dad."
Wen Ran chuckled, "Alright then, we’ll choose a good date for you. You can tell me what kind of wedding theme you like."
-
Imperial City.
When Mo Xiuchen arrived at the Qin Family, Qin Mu was seeing Ye Zhangming out of the living room.
Seeing Mo Xiuchen, a trace of surprise flashed across Ye Zhangming’s face, then he smiled and greeted him, politely thanking him for allowing Ye Zhan to stay at the Mo family for a few days before.
Mo Xiuchen replied with a couple of polite words.
Ye Zhangming suddenly changed the subject and said, "I didn’t know your daughter came to the Imperial City on a business trip a few days ago..."
"Ah Mu, what does Ye Zhangming mean by this?"
After Ye Zhangming left, Mo Xiuchen frowned slightly as he looked toward the door and asked Qin Mu beside him.
Qin Mu pondered and said, "Maybe he thinks the Ye Family has more than just the Shi Family as a good marriage alliance partner."
Mo Xiuchen sneered, "Wasn’t it said that even that person has spoken out?"
"Yes, that’s the case. Ye Zhangming came to find me today just because of this matter. Let’s talk more inside."
Once inside the living room, Qin Mu told Mo Xiuchen that his parents had just gone to the An’s home.
Mo Xiuchen and Qin Mu sat down in front of the sofa, and the servant had already taken away the water cup Ye Zhangming had used.
She poured a new cup of water for Mo Xiuchen.
Qin Mu said indifferently, "Ye Zhan was unwilling to marry into the Shi Family, and I heard he went to the Presidential Palace first thing this morning, strongly rejecting that person, and seemed to have offended him as a result."
"I didn’t misjudge him. Ye Zhan is indeed different from his father and grandfather." Mo Xiuchen took a sip of water, then leaned back into the sofa with an appreciative smile, "So, Ye Zhangming came to ask you to persuade Ye Zhan?"
"That was part of the idea."
Qin Mu pondered, "Ye Zhangming actually doesn’t think highly of Shi Xi either, but since it was that person’s suggestion, Ye Zhan, being straightforward, went straight to the Presidential Palace, directly offended without giving any face or subtlety; Ye Zhangming wanted Ye Zhan to apologize."
"Where is Ye Zhan now?"
Mo Xiuchen raised an eyebrow, asking nonchalantly.
"After refusing the marriage, Ye Zhan didn’t return to the Ye Family; he went straight to the unit and applied for a mission with Yang."
Although that mission was being led by Tang Jinchen because Ye Zhan had taken leave.
Yet Ye Zhan volunteered to go, and Tang Yang wholeheartedly supported it.
"And what about the Shi Family?"
Mo Xiuchen asked thoughtfully.
If Ye Zhan refused to marry into the Shi Family, the Shi Family wouldn’t just let it go, right?
Qin Mu also laughed, "The Shi Family directly begrudges the Ye Family now; some actions are to be expected, but Shi Zhen hasn’t given up on Ye Zhan yet."
Here, Qin Mu paused slightly, collected his smile, and continued, "Xiuchen, you first take my parents and in-laws back to G City; I’ll return in a few days."
"What do you want to stay for?"
Mo Xiuchen’s face slightly darkened, and his tone immediately became serious.
"I have some personal matters, don’t look at me like that." Qin Mu concealed the fleeting emotion in his eyes with the act of drinking water.
"I’ll stay here and wait for you."
Mo Xiuchen responded after a brief silence.
Even if Qin Mu didn’t say, he knew what he wanted to stay for.
It was something he had thought about before coming to the Imperial City.
On the surface, he only brought Qing Feng to the Imperial City.
But in reality, Qing Yang also came.
They just didn’t come the same route.
Even Ranran didn’t know he had Qing Yang come to the Imperial City.
Qin Mu’s face changed slightly, ungratefully saying, "What can you, a grown man, stay with me for? I don’t need your companionship."
"Then who do you need?"
"Anyone but you."
"Alright, then you stay for your business, and I’ll stay for mine. From what you said about the Ye Family matter, I now find Ye Zhan quite impressive. I’ll stick around for a few days to watch the show. If you don’t let me stay here, I’ll just go stay at my villa."
After all, isn’t as if he doesn’t own property in the Imperial City.
Qin Mu had no way to deal with Mo Xiuchen and, after glaring at him, coldly asked, "Aren’t you traveling with Ranran?"
"Ranran is helping Ziye and Qingqing prepare their wedding... You probably don’t know yet. It seems Ziye hasn’t told you that he and Qingqing are getting married. Ah Mu, if I were you, I would head to G City right now, seriously evaluate and test Ziye thoroughly before deciding whether to let him marry my daughter."
Mo Xiuchen’s words made Qin Mu’s mouth twitch.
He retorted sarcastically, "Are you sure Ziye is your biological son?"
"I’m considering it from your perspective."
"You’re trying to trick me into going back to G City right away. Xiuchen, I know what you mean. You think Ziye can take revenge for An Lin just the same."
Qin Mu’s voice suddenly lowered, carrying undeniable pain, "But it’s different for me. If I can’t avenge An Lin, I’ll have no face to see her even after death."
"..."
The atmosphere in the living room immediately quieted down.
The air seemed to be filled with a faint sense of sadness.
Even though An Lin had been gone for four years, the pain in Qin Mu’s heart hadn’t diminished in the slightest.
Mo Xiuchen, as his good brother, knew all too well how he had been living these past years.
He took a deep breath, placed his cup on the table, and, leaning forward from leaning on the sofa, looked at Qin Mu on the opposite sofa and said calmly, "I can’t stop you, and I won’t."
"Xiuchen!"
Qin Mu called out, his voice slightly raised.
Mo Xiuchen remained unmoved and instead asked him, "Do you know why I didn’t bring Ranran with me to the Imperial City?"
"You... I said I don’t need you."
"No, we’re brothers; as long as we’re alive, we’ll be brothers for a day. Besides, I also made a bet with Ziye to gather evidence of the Shi family’s crimes before he does to avenge An Lin, so he won’t compete with me for Ranran later on."
