Chapter 165: 165 The Sister of an Old Friend (First Update)

A sudden spark of inspiration flashed through Mo Qianjue’s mind, further solidifying her determination to visit the Zhao family tomorrow.

She always felt that some truth was waiting there for her to uncover.

But at this moment, Zhao Yiling was still nominally her lifesaver, and she couldn’t let Zhao Yiling suffer any grievances without having cleared up the whole matter.

"Pengpeng," Mo Qianjue put the little girl down on the ground, "Don’t be rude! Apologize to Auntie right now!"

The little girl’s eyes reddened, "I won’t! I’m not wrong, she’s a bad auntie, and I won’t apologize to her!"

How could Daddy be like this, willing to believe a bad auntie over her own words!

Moreover, this auntie even dared to falsely accuse Jin-ge of stealing her bracelet!

It was just too wicked.

Seeing the little girl on the verge of tears, Mo Qianjue felt a twinge of heartache and gently rubbed her head, cooing softly, "There, there, good girl, can Peng-ge apologize to Auntie, please?"

"No way!" The little girl turned her head away, "Daddy, you’re a bad Daddy too! You’re helping a tyrant, Peng-ge doesn’t like you anymore!"

Mo Qianjue picked up the little girl and sat her on his lap again, offering Zhao Yiling an apologetic smile, "Miss Zhao, my daughter is willful, please don’t take it to heart."

Zhao Yiling smiled warmly, "I don’t mind. Pengpeng is still young and can’t quite distinguish right from wrong. Besides, she has an extraordinary relationship with Sister Jin, so it’s only natural she would protect her."

There was a double meaning in her words.

The first was to convey that she was dignified and sensible enough not to argue with a child.

The second implied that the young girl, due to her age, couldn’t understand the situation and was being manipulated by someone to deliberately slander her. Additionally, this statement also cemented the accusation of Chu Jin stealing her bracelet.

In Mo Qianjue’s mind emerged that delicate silhouette, along with the words, "All things in this world are equal."

How could someone who could say such a thing do that kind of deed.

Mo Qianjue’s eyebrows raised slightly, "Miss Zhao, that’s a bit of an exaggeration," he paused before continuing, "I had the fortune of meeting Miss Chu once. Seeing her grace and humility, she didn’t seem like someone who would stoop to petty theft. There must be some misunderstanding."

Zhao Yiling had not expected Mo Qianjue to speak up for Chu Jin.

At that moment, her heart filled with even more anger, but she kept her composure and said, "Hearing Mr. Mo put it that way, perhaps I really did misunderstand Sister Jin. Oh, it’s getting late, I should be going."

With that, she picked up her Chanel from the chair, ready to leave.

She knew that for someone like Mo Qianjue, one should not cling too tightly but instead give him a sense of danger when appropriate.

Moreover, at times like this, she could not afford to show any other flaws.

She needed to hurry home and find that Jade Pendant, otherwise, she honestly didn’t know how she would face Mo Qianjue tomorrow.

She had a feeling that Mo Qianjue had other motives for visiting the Zhao family tomorrow.

"Miss Zhao, please wait!" Mo Qianjue let go of the little girl and swiftly grabbed Zhao Yiling’s wrist.

"What is it?" Zhao Yiling turned her head, annoyance flickering in her eyes, subconsciously trying to struggle free of Mo Qianjue’s grip.

Mo Qianjue smiled slightly, "I just wanted to remind Miss Zhao that I will be visiting your residence tomorrow."

"Daddy!" The little girl quickly pried Mo Qianjue’s hand away, "You can’t hold the hand of a bad auntie!"

Daddy hadn’t even held Jin-ge’s hand yet, so how could he hold a bad auntie’s hand first!

Mo Qianjue’s expression darkened, "Pengpeng, that’s rude!"

The little girl pouted, humming her displeasure.

Zhao Yiling smiled faintly, "Pengpeng is right, men and women should indeed not touch hands so casually, Mr. Mo, you should respect yourself!"

With that, she freed herself from Mo Qianjue’s grip and added, "Tomorrow I’ll wait for Mr. Mo’s esteemed visit at home."

After speaking, she turned and left the western restaurant.

After Zhao Yiling left, Mo Qianjue crouched down to look the little girl in the eyes and said with heartfelt earnest, "Pengpeng, you can’t act like that in the future, okay? Auntie is a good person; she saved Daddy. If it weren’t for her, you wouldn’t have a Daddy now."

That auntie saved Daddy?

Listening to Mo Qianjue’s words, the little girl was a bit dumbfounded. That bad auntie from just now?

Could she really have saved Daddy?

Did she hear it wrong?

"Daddy, she really saved you?" The little girl’s eyes widened as she looked at Mo Qianjue.

"Yes," though he wasn’t quite certain himself, as things stood now, Zhao Yiling was likely his savior, "One should show gratitude and repay kindness. Therefore, no matter the reason, you cannot target Auntie from now on, okay?"

"I don’t know! Anyway, I just don’t like that bad auntie!" Even if that auntie had saved Daddy, she couldn’t bring herself to like her!

It must be said that Zhao Yiling’s image in the little Lolita’s heart truly couldn’t get any worse.

Mo Qianjue, helpless, rubbed the little Lolita’s head and had no choice but to change the subject, "By the way, how did you know Daddy was here?"

The little Lolita somewhat resentfully said, "The idiot brought me here!"

Bread: Hey! Idiot? Stupid human, make yourself clear! I haven’t even taken a wife yet!

"Papa, I want to go with you to her place tomorrow!" This time the little Lolita did not use the words "bad auntie."

Mo Qianjue’s brow furrowed, "Why meddle in adults’ matters as a child?"

After parting ways with Qin Zhenglin, Chu Jin still went to the crossroads as usual, but just as she arrived, a familiar Bugatti Veyron stopped at the side of the road.

This was Chu Jin’s first encounter with Mo Zhixuan since their separation that day.

The feeling was somewhat strange.

Suddenly, this man had become her fiancé, something anyone would find hard to accept.

So, upon seeing the car, Chu Jin instinctively hid behind a tree, not daring to glance at Mo Zhixuan again.

Chu Jin’s little tricks were never going to fool Mo Zhixuan.

He didn’t know why, but he unexpectedly wanted to sneak a peek at her, as his heart felt empty otherwise.

The car door opened, and a sleek, well-proportioned leg stepped out first.

Following that leg upward, one would see a finely tailored, expensive handmade suit. The man lifted his gaze forward, his chiseled features hidden in the bright light, revealing a jawline so immaculate it was perfection, and his thin lips pursed into a line.

A hint of playfulness lingered in Mo Zhixuan’s eyes as his gaze fell on the sturdy sycamore tree, his cool lips curving into a slight smile.

"Hiding from me?" A deep, cold voice sounded from above.

A blast of tobacco smell immediately filled her nostrils.

Chu Jin was startled, then lifted her head to reveal a dry smile, "Ah, what a coincidence, Mr. Mo, you’re here too?"

"Yes, quite the coincidence," Mo Zhixuan responded, playing along.

"Do you plan on just standing here?" he continued as Chu Jin remained silent.

Chu Jin, feeling a bit awkward, raised her hand to scratch her head, "Mr. Mo, did you need something from me?"

"Still calling me Mr. Mo?" Mo Zhixuan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. They were, after all, engaged in name—why was she still so distant with him!

"Didn’t I tell you last time," Mo Zhixuan said as he reached out to ruffle Chu Jin’s hair, "my name is Mo Zhixuan."

"Oh, so, Mo Zhixuan, what did you come to find me for?" Chu Jin looked up at him.

She was probably the first person who dared address him by his full name.

Yet, the girl’s voice was clear and melodious, and these three words coming from her lips were especially pleasant to hear.

A pleased smile crossed Mo Zhixuan’s face. Although she was addressing him by his full name, at least their relationship had improved somewhat!

"Come with me," Mo Zhixuan said as he took Chu Jin’s wrist and began to walk towards the roadside.

"Where to?" Chu Jin instinctively tried to break free from his hold, but it was futile given his strength, and her own physical force was simply laughable in his presence.

"To eat," Mo Zhixuan replied, his thin lips parting slightly and the corners of his mouth lifting.

Again with eating? She remembered the last time he came looking for her was also to have a meal!

Doesn’t he have any other ideas besides eating?

He clearly has no experience in romance!

"To eat?" Chu Jin’s brow furrowed slightly, "I’ve already eaten!"

"Oh," Mo Zhixuan said indifferently, "but I haven’t eaten yet."

Chu Jin: "..."

Just then, an incredulous female voice suddenly filled the air.

"Zhixuan! What are you doing!"

Zheng Chuyi did not expect to actually see Mo Zhixuan here, and even less did she think that Mo Zhixuan would be holding hands with a commoner.

Chu Jin slightly lifted her eyes and saw Zheng Chuyi not far off, raising her eyebrows, she said, "Hey, is that your little lover?"
