Mo Shiting’s lips twitched, “Grandfather, I’m not that bad.”
“Hmph!”
The old man snorted defiantly, “You’re not bad, but my little Pear is better.”
Mo Shiting:
So Gu Li isn’t a Gu, but a Mo?
But it does not matter what her family name is because they are no longer relevant to him.
As he pondered over this, he could not control the growing pain in his heart. He wasn’t sure whether it was a heartache or the pain from his wound.
Luckily, his pain was well masked and the old man did not notice it.
“When you attended your father-in-law’s birthday banquet this time, was he satisfied with you?”
Old Master Mo asked attentively.
On this same day in previous years, the grandfather and grandson would remain silent, each immersed in their own memories of the late Mo Xinghe, creating a melancholic and heavy atmosphere.
This year, however, with the addition of an angelic Gu Li to their lives, a ray of hope was finally brought to them.
Of course, this was just the old man’s unilateral feeling. As for Mo Shiting, he was likely more distressed than before.
Once he believed happiness was within reach, but it turned out all of it was just his wishful thinking…
“Didn’t you perform well, and got frowned upon by Gu Yuan?”
Seeing Mo Shiting keeps silent, the old man peeked at him, noticing something off about him.
Mo Shiting finally regained his composure, denying emotionlessly, “That’s not the case. Grandfather, it’s getting late. We have to go to the ancestral hall.”
Upon saying that, fearing his emotions would show through his grandfather’s sharp eyes, he quickly stood up, ready to leave.
Only then did the old man gently place the white jade vase on the tea table, calling over Old Guan, “Old Guan, lock this vase back in the safe.”
“Yes, Old Master.”
Old Guan carefully held the vase as if it was a treasure, cautiously heading upstairs.
The grandfather and grandson left the main hall, one after the other.
The ancestral hall.
Mo Xinghe’s spirit tablet was enshrined here.
After lighting the incense, Mo Shiting seemed lost as he stared at the spirit tablet.
Old Master Mo had a stern and serious expression on his face.
After a few minutes, he spoke solemnly, “Shiting, do you remember what your father looked like?”
Mo Shiting pondered for a moment, then shook his head. “I don’t remember much.”
Awhile ago, Pear also asked him the same question, later, she hugged him sweetly and said, “Brother Ting, you still have me. I will always be with you.”
Liar!
Mo Shiting subconsciously clenched his fists.
As they left the ancestral hall, Old Master Mo suddenly said to Mo Shiting, “I found a photo of your father at the Book Collection Pavilion two days ago. Do you want to see it?”
“Yes.”
Mo Shiting didn’t reject, he was excited deep down.
After all, the image of his father was becoming more and more blurry in his mind. He even began to worry that one day, he would eventually forget his father’s real face.
“Follow me.”
In the evening, after having dinner with Old Master Mo, Lu Yang took him home to the Blue Sky Blue Sea.
Upon entering the house and seeing no staff in the hall, Lu Yang softly advised Mo Shiting, “Young Master, you’ve held on for the whole day. From now on, you should rest properly at home. There are other executives in the company, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
Mo Shiting remained silent.
Lu Yang continued, “What about the new product promotion meeting that’s supposed to hold tomorrow? Maybe you should skip it?”
Mo Shiting declined, “I know my own body. The meeting will proceed as planned.”
Lu Yang:
“Alright then. You should rest early tonight, Young Master.”
“Hmm.”
Mo Shiting gave a short reply. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he asked directly, “What’s the date tomorrow?”
Lu Yang answered truthfully, “The 18th.”
Mo Shiting frowned slightly and a trace of self-ridicule flashed in his deep eyes.
So it’s already the 18th…
It has been precisely 29 days since they applied for a divorce.
As per the law of Hua country, if the divorcing couple does not cancel the application within 30 days, their marriage would be automatically dissolved…
So, after tomorrow, he and Gu Li would no longer be spouses legally.
Maybe it was because the lights in the living room were too bright, but Mo Shiting felt a sourness in his eyes, causing them to hurt a bit.
“Young Master, what’s wrong?”
Seeing the redness around his eyes, Lu Yang thought that his wound got infected, and became worried.
Mo Shiting, with his hand on his forehead, took a deep breath, “It’s nothing, you can leave.”
“But…”
“Leave.”
Even though he was still worried, Lu Yang had no choice but to bow and leave under his order..
