Chapter 499: Why Is Mrs. Mo? Why Did He Call You That?

A week later, Ji Nuan was about to leave the company to discuss a promising new project when she received a call.
It was from the Mo family.
She learned that Grandfather Mo had passed out at home a few days ago because of heart palpitations caused by high blood pressure and was immediately sent to the hospital. It took more than a day for him to get out of danger. After spending a few days in the hospital, he was discharged back to the Mo family yesterday.
But Grandfather Mo was now at home in bed. Every day he woke up, he clamored to see Ji Nuan.
The butler Uncle Ou worried that Grandfather Mo had been in a bad mood, which would affect his health, so he could only give her a phone call, hoping she could take the time to go to the Mo family these two days to visit Grandfather Mo.
Hearing that Grandfather Mo passed out and was sent to the hospital, Ji Nuan lunged to her feet from the sofa. When she heard that Grandfather Mo who was still recuperating at home these days but still unable to walk was clamoring to see her every day, she, without another word, put off all the work scheduled this afternoon, asked Yan Ge to buy a variety of expensive antihypertensive herbs and supplements in nearby drug stores, and then drove all the way to the Mo family.
Three years ago, Ji Nuan avoided Grandfather Mo. The only one she felt guilty to was Grandfather Mo.
What Grandfather Mo said was still in her ears.
He would keep the place of his granddaughter-in-law for her.
She thought that after three years, Grandfather Mo should have given up and no longer be so persistent, but she didn’t expect that he was still worrying about and missing her even in illness.
Sometimes people were like this. They often felt that no one around them would disappear from their lives until they found one day that someone who had been accompanying them had been so old and was getting closer and closer to the end of life. But when they tried to pull back that person, they found they couldn’t do anything about it.
Grandfather Mo was already in his eighties. Unlike young people like them, he couldn’t stand the ravages of time.
Ji Nuan couldn’t help accelerating the car, and the guilt and remorse in her heart grew more intense. She should have at least seen him once before she left three years ago. She could be hardhearted to anyone and anything, but she shouldn’t be like that to Grandfather Mo.
“Sister Nuan, there is a speed limit here. Drive slowly. If you are really worried, let’s swap the seats and let me drive the car.” Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Yan Ge noticed Ji Nuan increased the speed of the car to one hundred, although the speed limit on this section of the road was sixty. Although there weren’t many cars on the road and it was not very dangerous, he could tell she was in a really bad mood.
“It’s ok. I want to see Grandfather Mo as soon as possible,” Ji Nuan said and continued to accelerate the car, completely ignoring the speed limit mark on the road.
After following her for a week, Yan Ge knew that Ji Nuan was a sensible person who knew how far to go and when to stop.
As she drove, her hands clasped the steering wheel, her long fingers turning white. Seeing that, Yan Ge didn’t speak anymore.
The car soon arrived at the Mo family’s mansion, where she had not set foot for more than three years. Ji Nuan looked around the Mo family’s mansion when she got out of the car. It was still the end of August, not yet autumn. The weather was hot, and the shady paths and flower beds in the mansion remained as exuberant as three years ago as if nothing had changed and everything remained the same.
Not in the mood to enjoy the view of the courtyard, Ji Nuan parked the car on the parking space in the front yard and then noticed the familiar black Ghost was also here.
Mo Jingshen had come back to the Mo family too?
Yes, he had a difficult time with Mo Shaoze back then, so he went to Hai City because Grandfather Mo was here. Although he was too busy to come back at ordinary times, he would come back anyway when Grandfather Mo was ill. After all, Grandfather Mo was ill, he had to come back to see Grandfather Mo and reassure the people of the Mo family.
Ji Nuan was not in the mood to think about why he was here. She just wanted to see how Grandfather Mo was now, walked inside, and saw Uncle Ou.
Seeing her, Uncle Ou, who was at the same age as Grandfather Mo, repressed his excitement and called out. “Mrs. Mo.”
Ji Nuan paused and swallowed the words on her lips, smiling. “Uncle Ou, how have you been lately?”
Uncle Ou nodded. “I’m fine. I’m in good health. Actually, Master had been in good health too. But he is old after all. When he was young, he worked too hard, so now he is troubled with diseases. Fortunately, he has hypertension, which is not fatal. After he fainted, he was immediately sent to the hospital. The treatment was very timely, so there is no major harm to him. He needs to recuperate, but he talks about you every day. He is afraid that he wouldn’t be able to see you for the last time if he is suddenly gone.”
Ji Nuan’s eyes immediately turned red. “No, Grandfather Mo has been in good health. He must have been overeating fat recently, so he suddenly had high blood pressure. I’m going to see him.”
“Ok, ok. It’s good that you can come back to see him, but Master just took medicine and fell asleep. I was afraid he would be too excited, so I didn’t tell him about your coming back. Can you see him when he wakes up? He may sleep for two or three hours. Now it’s already afternoon, and when he wakes up, it should be dark. Mrs. Mo, you can stay here tonight.” Uncle Ou said and smiled gently. “Mr. Mo happens to be here. He should have been in Master’s room watching him take his medicine, and he is coming back soon.”
Yan Ge was standing beside Ji Nuan, carrying many expensive medicinal herbs and supplements. Hearing Uncle Ou’s words, he was puzzled.
Mrs. Mo?
Wasn’t Sister Nuan single? There wasn’t any man close to her. Why did this old gentleman call her Mrs. Mo?
“I’ll wait for Grandfather Mo to wake up.” Ji Nuan hadn’t yet decided whether to stay here tonight. If Mo Jingshen was not here, she might consider doing that. After all, she just came back to see Grandfather Mo, but if he was here, she’d better not stay here, because there wasn’t a proper reason for her to stay overnight.
With that, she turned, took what Yan Ge was carrying, and handed them to Uncle Ou.
No matter Grandfather Mo lacked the stuff or not, this was the etiquette of a young person visiting a senior man, and Uncle Ou was used to it. He took the medicinal herbs and tonics over without saying anything and asked Ji Nuan to go to the front hall, have a cup of tea, and take a rest.
Yan Ge followed Ji Nuan all the way to the front hall. Seeing Ji Nuan seem to be quite familiar with the place, he couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Nuan, who is that Mr. Mo that Uncle Ou just mentioned? Who is Mrs. Mo? Why did he call you that?”
—-
In the front hall of the Mo family’s mansion, Grandfather Mo was sleeping in a Chinese-style room that was bright and clean.
A man was standing in front of the window, silently looking at the woman walking through the shades and coldly glancing at the bodyguard who followed her so closely and seemed to be overzealous with her.
Xia Tian found her a bodyguard?
She probably tried to disgust him with this man.
And this man was really an eyesore.
