Chapter 30: Chapter 30

After about one and half hours of drive from the airport, they arrived at the Mo residence. Butler Li got out of the car to open the door for Father Mo, but as always Father Mo had got off by himself. He was never the one to pretend to be mighty. Father Mo then offered his hand towards Mother Mo to help her get off.

Mother Mo blushed at the sight but still took his hand and descended from the car. Father Mo loved it the most when Mother Mo acted all shy and cute. He could not take her cute looks anymore,.so he crouched a little and pecked on her cheek.

Mother Mo was surprised at his actions. She pretended to be angry at him since Butler Li and the driver were still there. She glared at Father Mo but still could not hide her red cheeks. Father Mo just chuckled at her but did not say anything. Instead, he took her hand in his and walked inside.

Outside, Butler Li smiled looking at them acting sweet and shook his head. Everyone in the Mo family knew how much their master loved their madam and would occasionally shower them with dog food.

Butler Li then called some servants to unload the bags and packages that their master and madam had brought. He then followed father Mo and Mother Mo inside after giving his orders.

In the hall room, Old Master Mo and Mo Sheng were playing chess while Xiao Hui was accompanying them, and was watching their game intensely.

Mo Sheng had lost 3 games in a row. Xiao Hui could not take his stupidity anymore and exasperatedly chided him, “Uncle, are you stupid? How can you lose 3 games in a row?”

Mo Shan glared at his nephew and spoke in annoyance, “You brat! How can you call your uncle stupid? I was intentionally losing so that old man could win. Hmph, otherwise how can this truly lose a game?” He praised himself.

“Idiot”, Old Master Mo chided from the side.

Mo Sheng: “Hey, old man. I am telling the truth. How about playing one game more then? This time you will see my prowess.”

As soon as those words came out of his words, Mo Sheng regretted immediately. He was really bad at chess and he knew there was no way he could win over his grandfather.

While the people of three generations were quarreling and chiding each other, a voice spoke up, “Tsk, you still have the nerve to ask your grandfather to play again?”

All 3 of them stopped quarreling and looked towards the sound together. There they saw Mother Mo standing together with Father Mo.

Xiao Hui’s eyes widened in delight seeing his grandmother and directly ran towards her. “Grandma!” he called her cheerfully.

Mother Mo sat down seeing Xiao Hui run and caught him in her embrace. “My darling grandson”, she enunciated and kissed his both cheeks. “Grandma missed you so much.”

Xiao Hui cheerfully replied, “Xiao Hui missed grandma too.”

For Xiao Hui, Mother Mo was a mother figure. She was the only female who was by his side from when he was a child. Even though Old Madam Mo (Shen Yuluo, Old Master Mo’s wife) was also there, but according to his family, she was very sick and cannot speak to him as of now. So, he only got the motherly love from Mother Mo.

Actually, Old Madam Mo was in a coma. She had a stroke when she heard the news about her elder grandson's death. After that, she fell into a coma.

But the family told Xiao Hui that she was only successful because none of them have given up the hope of her awakening. So, no one in the Mo Residence was allowed to mention her being comatose, instead, everyone just thought of it as an illness that can be cured.

Old Madam Mo was greatly involved in charities when she was well. So after her comatose condition, every of her duty fell on Mother Mo's head. Mother Mo had to shoulder all the works by herself after that.

So, even though she wanted to spend every second with her grandson, she could not fulfill it.

She has to travel to lots of developing and underdeveloped countries for her charity works.

And, Father Mo did not want her to be alone in this tough journey, so he gave his position as CEO to Mo Shan and himself just remained a passive partner.

After that, he followed his wife anywhere she went. And that day too they just returned from such trip since it was Xiao Hui's birthday soon.

They never missed his birthday.

At one time, Mother Mo even thought of bringing Xiao Hui everywhere she went so that she could take care of him properly and shower him with the love he deserved. But Father Mo convinced her not to do so as Xiao Hui will be really tired and it will affect his growth. Only then did Mother Mo relented.

…..

“My dear grandson, come let Grandma see how much you have grown up this time”, asked Mother Mo excitedly.

Xiao Hui came out of his grandma’s arms and replied naively, “Grandma, Xiao Hui has grown 20cm tall and has gained 2 pounds weight, that’s what father said.”

Mother Mo feigned surprise, “Really, My Xiao Hui has grown so much. Hmm, your dad deserves praise this time.”

Xiao Hui was eagerly waiting to tell his grandma about his new mommy. Now that he got a chance, he excitedly spoke, “Grandma, do you know Xiao also has a mommy now? She is very beautiful and takes good care of Xiao Hui.”

Mother Mo became wary hearing that. Everyone had just good words to say about that girl which made Mother Mo even more vigilant.

How can anyone just have good qualities? It just does not make sense. So, Mother Mo thought that Yun Xi was just acting but she did not say anything about it and just kept those thoughts in her heart.

Old Master Mo and Mo Sheng could deduct what Mother Mo was thinking from her expression. Old Master Mo gave his idiot grandson a look. Mo Sheng got his cue and spoke up, “Hey, hey, your son is also here. Do you only see your grandson, mom?”

Mother Mo disdainfully looked at his youngest son and answered, “That’s right, I only see my dear grandson, so what? Tsk, look at your head, those red hairs. It looks like a monkey’s butt.”

“What? Monkey’s butt? Mom, how can you describe your good son’s hair like that? Are you sure I am not adopted?” shouted Mo Sheng exasperatedly.

Mother Mo replied, “What about it? Go look at yourself in the mirror and you will get the answer.”

Mo Sheng knew he could not win with his mother, so he turned to his father instead and complained, “Dad, look at what your wife is saying. This is all because you spoiled her to the core.”

“You brat, how can you talk of your mother like that? What if I spoil her a little? She is my wife. You should be thankful that she gave birth to you and is still feeding you till now”, replied Father Mo.

Mo Sheng looked hurt and grumbled, “Wow, so you two are teaming up now, huh? You have hurt my poor heart today.”

At this time, Xiao Hui also spoke, “Uncle, it was clearly your mistake this time. How can you make grandma angry? Father says whoever hurts girls is a dog.”

Mother Mo’s heart warmed hearing her grandson’s words, “Xiao Hui still knows the best. And, when did your father know to speak those words? Did his EQ improve?”

Xiao Hui praised his father, “Grandma, my daddy had this much EQ from the beginning.”

This way, they finally managed to divert Mother Mo’s attention from Yun Xi.
