“Little girl, you’re pretty good looking. I can fulfill one of your wishes.”
Lan Yaxin looked at Tan Shilin with a scrutinizing gaze, uncertain if what he said was true.
“Are you serious?”
“Of course, I have my conditions as well. You have to be my informant and get information about the Mo Family. It’s not too much, right?”
Tan Shilin thought that because she was Lan Anran’s sister he could use her. If she could help him get to the top, take over the Mo Family’s market, and annex the Mo Family step by step, Old Master wouldn’t look down on him anymore.
“What do you want?”
Lan Yaxin looked at Tan Shilin warily.
“Young lady, you’re still young and there are some things you still don’t know. I think you have feelings for Mo Jinrong but he has no intentions towards you. I can help you and when the time comes, we will split the gains equally. You can be the young lady of the Mo Family without worry and I won’t touch you.”
Tan Shilin had a sincere expression and didn’t seem to be lying at all.
Lan Ya thought that it was indeed a little difficult to rely on herself. With someone to rely on, things would be much easier.
“Let me think… Who knows if you’ll hurt him?”
Lan Yaxin was still very vigilant. She couldn’t trust someone like Tan Shilin.
“Don’t pretend. You don’t care about his life, you care about his money. Do you think I can’t see that? Think about it, this is my name card. Contact me when you think it through!”
Tan Shilin took out a name card from his pocket, placed it in Lan Yaxin’s hand, and turned to leave.
“Hey! Lan Yaxin, you have a backing now, but you’re still not agreeing? I’ll have to rely on you in the future.”
Lian Qiao placed her hand on Lan Yaxin’s shoulder and smiled.
“Don’t be like that, we don’t know each other that well, I wouldn’t agree so easily.”
With that, Lan Yaxin swung Lian Qiao’s hand away and turned to leave.
There was only Lian Qiao and the gangster left in the room.
“Brother Chen, let’s keep in touch again. I’ll introduce you guys.”
Lian Qiao took out 2,000 yuan and gave it to the gangster before they both left.
In the car.
Mo Jinrong questioned Lan Anran, “What happened?”
“Have you forgotten what I do? I can find you anywhere.”
“What happened to Lan Yaxin?”
Mo Jinrong had a bad feeling about her today.
“She’s just a scheming girl.”
Lan Anran spoke casually.
Just then, Mo Jinrong’s phone suddenly rang and it was Old Mrs. Mo’s phone call.
“Grandma, what’s the matter?”
“Jinrong, why did I hear from the Medical Research Institute that Anran is prohibited from working there? What’s going on? Although the Rong City Medical Research Institute isn’t our family’s, we have an investment. It wouldn’t be considered a backdoor entry, as it would bring honor to our ancestors. Why don’t you agree?”
Through their connections, Old Mrs. Mo was shocked to hear this news.
“Grandma, I’ll explain this to you when I’m back. I’m very busy now, I’ll hang up first.”
Mo Jinrong hung up.
“Why is Grandma looking for you?” Lan Anran asked curiously, looking at Mo Jinrong’s troubled expression.
“It’s nothing, I’ll send you home.”
A relaxed smile appeared on Mo Jinrong’s face, but it wasn’t that relaxed.
“Just leave me here, I’m going to the bookstore.”
Lan Anran didn’t want to go to the bookstore, she wanted to go to her herbal garden in the countryside. She hadn’t tended to it in a long time.
“Okay, Anran, help me make another appointment with Zero. I need her!” Mo Jinrong asked coldly.
“What’s wrong?”
Lan Anran felt uneasy.
“Nothing, Grandma missed me.”
Mo Jinrong’s expression was abnormal.
Lan Anran didn’t ask further and got out of the car.
The Mo Family.
Old Mrs. Mo was sunbathing leisurely on a chair.
“Old Mrs. Mo, Young Master Jinrong must have a reason. I think Young Madam is smart and witty and he probably wants to keep her by his side.”
Nanny Wu smiled.
“That won’t do either. A talent like Anran should shine, even if Jinrong likes her, he can’t do that.”
Old Mrs. Mo raised her head slightly and smiled.
“Old Mrs. Mo, it’s rare for Young Master Jinrong to favor Young Madam so much. This is your blessing.”
Nanny Wu smiled and carried the fruit.
Suddenly, the young housekeeper walked in with a package and lowered her head.
“Old Mrs. Mo, there’s a package for you that just arrived.”
Old Mrs. Mo was a little surprised. She never shopped online, so where did the package come from? Did they send it the wrong way?
She took it over and saw her name: Wei Hongying!
She had almost forgotten this name, but someone actually remembered it?
She hurriedly opened the package and saw a Hero brand’s fountain pen. It was given to Mo Shengli by Old Mrs. Mo on his birthday. She didn’t expect to see it again after all these years!
“This… This is Shengli’s pen!”
Old Mrs. Mo was a little agitated. She hurriedly looked at the package to see if there was anything else inside, but it was empty.
“What did the delivery guy look like?”
Old Mrs. Mo hurriedly asked.
The young housekeeper shook her head.
“He was dressed like a courier, wearing a cap and a mask. I couldn’t see his face, but there was a long scar on his arm!”
“Scars? Scars!”
Old Mrs. Mo grew increasingly agitated. The scar was accidentally caused by Mo Jinrong and was left on Mo Shengli’s body.
“He’s still alive? How can he still be alive?”
Old Mrs. Mo muttered to herself, her eyes full of fear.
Back then, no one noticed him amidst the violent storm. They thought he was dead all these years, so why was he suddenly back?
Old Mrs. Mo panicked, her eyes looking around as though she was scared.
Others might not know, but she knew. Mo Shengli had been ambitious since he was a child. Although she didn’t say it, she knew it in her heart. She could tell that he was very interested in the Mo Family’s assets even though he didn’t say anything.
“Old Mrs. Mo, is Mo Shengli faking his death?”
Nanny Wu was suspicious.
“Feigning death? I wonder, what exactly is he up to after hiding for so long?”
Old Mrs. Mo thought that she treated him quite well, so he wouldn’t be so resolute, right?
At this moment, Mo Jinrong drove into the villa.
“Jinrong is here!” Old Mrs. Mo said agitatedly.
“Old Mrs. Mo, slow down!”
Nanny Wu helped Old Mrs. Mo up.
“Jinrong, my grandson! Your uncle… he’s still alive!”
Old Mrs. Mo handed him the pen and spoke with a trembling voice.
“Uncle is still alive?”
Mo Jinrong had a strange expression.
He looked at the address in his hand. It was anonymous, so it was obvious that the other party had come prepared.
“Could they be here for Young Master? After all, Young Master just revealed his identity and has many enemies.”
Mo San guessed.
“No! This fountain pen is Shengli’s, I gave it to him back then.”
Old Mrs. Mo was firm.
“If Uncle is still alive, why did he appear now?”
Mo Jinrong frowned. He didn’t have a deep impression of this uncle and didn’t know what kind of person he was, but he had heard from Old Mrs.. Mo that he was probably a powerful person.
