Chapter 396: Chapter 204: A Dance with the Belle (Part 2)_3

Mo Yunchen was surrounded by several elders, with Mo Cang laughing beside him. Upon noticing his son’s distraction and gaze towards Qin Qin’s direction, Mo Cang had a sudden epiphany and spoke up, "So it’s her? No wonder I thought you were so special towards her. I really thought you brought her here for this old man’s check-up."

At first, Mo Cang had thought that Mo Yunchen’s special attention to Qin Qin was due to her excellent medical skills, capable of treating Mo Yunchen’s illness; he never imagined that this girl was actually the one his son harbored feelings for.

Only Mo Tang and Mo Sheng knew that Mo Yunchen’s poison had been cured; even Mo Cang was not aware of it, because Mo Yunchen couldn’t let the person who poisoned him know, as it was not yet time to startle the snake in the grass.

Earlier, he had noticed something was off about Mo Yunchen and, after pressing him for answers, learned he had someone he fancied. He had long since told him to bring her home, but Mo Yunchen refused. Today, it seemed, he had finally come to his senses and was ready to do so.

However, Mo Cang hadn’t anticipated that his youngest son would be a case of the old cow eating tender grass. This young girl must be only around eighteen, and he wondered if she could really handle it.

Luckily, Mo Cang merely thought and did not voice out that Mo Yunchen was an old cow eating tender grass. If he did, Mo Yunchen would have definitely given him a look, considering that Mo Cang himself was no spring chicken when he fell for Mo Yunchen’s mother, with a good twenty years between them.

Inside the restroom, Jing Zhiyue incessantly washed her hands, venting her anger at that moment.

After a while, she took a deep breath and looked at herself in the mirror. Her exquisite and stunning reflection could not possibly be matched by the lowly Qin Qin. Even if she launched Top-Grade Heavenly Fragrance, how could she—Jing Family’s daughter of one of the Four Great Noble Families—compare to even a finger of hers? "She could never be your equal, you are the best," she reassured herself.

Emerging from the restroom, she stopped in her tracks upon seeing Mo Haoxuan standing by the door, "Why are you here?"

"I saw you’ve been gone for a while, and I was worried you might be too upset," he replied.

Mo Haoxuan gave a sinister smile, gazing at Jing Zhiyue’s lovely face.

"It seems you’ve already recovered well, but indeed, you have reasons to be angry. Her medical skills are impressive, her gift to grandfather is shocking, but most importantly... she’s the woman Mo Yunchen has taken a liking to."

Mo Haoxuan smiled and leaned close to Jing Zhiyue, watching her calmness transform into anger, and he smiled satisfactorily.

"Nonsense, she’s nothing but a cheap woman, not worthy of Yunchen at all. Yunchen would never look at her," Jing Zhiyue snapped coldly at Mo Haoxuan, knowing his true nature, just as he knew hers, so there was no need for pretense.

"Oh, shall we make a bet?" he asked in a voice that was sweet yet seemed to hide a blade.

"I won’t bet with you, get lost," she said with disdain and pushed Mo Haoxuan aside, not even glancing back as she left.

Behind her, Mo Haoxuan chuckled wickedly, waiting to see Jing Zhiyue’s despair before she threw herself into his arms, which would be quite entertaining.

Inside the banquet hall, Old Lady Leng and Old Master Leng arrived fashionably late, followed by Father Leng and Mother Leng, with Leng Yueyou and Leng Yan at their side.

Leng Yan’s gaze immediately fell on Qin Qin, who was speaking with Mu Chienchien. He felt the urge to approach but hesitated and stopped mid-step.

Seeing her brother hesitating while looking in Qin Qin’s direction, Leng Yueyou asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing," he replied.

Nothing? She could see through the emotions he tried to hide as he lied to her. Sighing softly, she knew Qin Qin was not someone her brother could handle, although she liked Qin Qin but also understood these facts.

After Old Master Leng and Old Lady Leng stepped forward to greet Mo Cang, Father Leng and Mother Leng mingled with other businesspeople.

"Eh, I think I saw Qin Qin over there," Old Lady Leng said to Old Master Leng.

Following his wife’s line of sight, Old Master Leng saw Qin Qin speaking with Mu Chienchien not too far away. "There are so many acquaintances today; you can go over later when there’s time."

"Understood," Old Lady Leng said, glaring at Old Master Leng discontentedly.

Mo Cang, upon hearing the conversation between Old Lady Leng and Old Master Leng, said with a smile, "You know Qin Qin, too?"

It seemed his future daughter-in-law was also acquainted with these two, and their relationship appeared to be quite good.

"Yes, the last time my wife fell ill, it was Qin Qin who helped save her," Old Master Leng told Mo Cang.

Mo Cang smiled. It turned out his future daughter-in-law was quite remarkable.

"That young lady is indeed impressive; she’s quite a match for my son," Mo Cang said slowly.

"Mo Cang, Qin Qin is my future granddaughter-in-law, not someone who’s a good match for your son," Old Lady Leng said with displeasure, eyeing Mo Cang, who dared covet her future granddaughter-in-law.
