Chapter 1007: Spin-off: The Marriage of the Mo Family Princess [9] Chapter 1007: Spin-off: The Marriage of the Mo Family Princess [9] Back at the old mansion.
After parking the car, Xiao Yebai quickly pushed the door open and got out, striding toward the villa.
“Xiaobai, wait for me.” Mo Weiyi called out.
By the time she had slung her backpack on and gotten out of the car, Xiao Yebai had already entered the villa.
At the entrance hall, Mo Yaoxiong looked at the handsome and indifferent young man in front of him, “Yebai, is everything alright?”
Xiao Yebai nodded, “I've brought the person back, everything's fine.”
“That's good,” Mo Yaoxiong nodded.
But when he saw Mo Weiyi hurriedly running inside, his face changed, “Weiyi, where have you been?”
“I was out playing with classmates,” Mo Weiyi said, intending to walk inside.
She was stopped by a grip on her arm.
“Where did you play?” Mo Yaoxiong asked sternly, “You're in your senior year of high school now. Just yesterday you said you'd study hard to get into Nancheng University, and today you come home late! Do you realize how worried your grandfather was? He didn't even eat dinner and had Yebai go looking for you. You're simply too thoughtless…”
Mo Weiyi interrupted him, “Was it Grandfather who sent Xiaobai to find me?”
Mo Yaoxiong: “Who else would it be?”
In the Mo Family, the one who doted on the Little Princess the most was the old master. Whenever she got into any trouble, the first one to be held accountable would be Xiao Yebai…
“Oh,” Mo Weiyi was a little unhappy.
So Xiaobai didn't come to find me on his own, but because of Grandfather's orders.
“What are you standing there for?” Mo Yaoxiong spoke with displeasure, “Grandfather hasn't eaten dinner waiting for you. Aren't you going to go in and apologize quickly?”
“I know.”
But the moment she entered the living room.
“The princess went to race cars with classmates by the Moat…”
“Grandfather!” Mo Weiyi hurriedly interrupted.
Xiao Yebai's voice stopped.
The old Master Mo feigned anger, “Yiyi, come here!”
As Mo Weiyi walked over, she secretly glared at Xiao Yebai.
Who would have thought the person would stand there, his handsome face stern, appearing like the image of a righteous young man, not even sparing her a glance…
Mo Weiyi was furious.
Xiaobai actually tattled!
Ever since she was little, all the trouble she got into was kept from her grandfather.
If he found out the obedient and ladylike granddaughter was secretly doing so many inappropriate things…
Having nothing left to lose, Mo Weiyi started to act spoiled, “Grandfather, I'm so hungry. What's for dinner tonight?”
Just as expected, the Old Master Mo's expression softened instantly, “It's so late and you haven't had dinner yet?”
“No,” Mo Weiyi went over, holding the old man's arm, “I was just going to have a quick look and come back to have dinner with Grandfather. Who knew it would take so long? I didn't see anything in the end, and I'm starving…”
As his most beloved granddaughter, with just a bit of cajoling, even if Old Master Mo was angry, he couldn't keep a stern face, “The food is already warm. If there's anything you want to eat, just tell Aunt Zhou to make it for you.”
“Only Grandfather is so caring toward me…”
Seeing the white figure turning to leave, Mo Weiyi called out in a hurry, “Xiaobai, come have dinner with us!”
Xiao Yebai, without turning back, “I've already eaten.”
Mo Weiyi continued to act spoiled, “Grandfather, look at him…”
“Stop!” Old Master Mo commanded.
Xiao Yebai halted, then turned around, “Grandfather.”
Old Master Mo's face turned serious, “Come over, accompany Yiyi for dinner.”
Xiao Yebai glanced at Mo Weiyi, who was smirking secretly, and nodded in agreement, “All right.”
Mo Weiyi was indeed very happy.
No matter how badly Xiao Yebai treated her, as soon as Grandfather spoke up, he wouldn't dare to disobey!
Grandfather was her trump card!
**
Steamy dishes were promptly served at the table, with Mo Weiyi sitting beside Xiao Yebai, cheerfully enjoying her dinner.
As long as she kept silent, the Mo Family's dining room was always quiet, until the sound of a cellphone ringtone broke the silence.
Butler Shi Bo came in hurriedly with a phone in hand, “Old Master, it's Old Master Chu on the phone for you.”
Old Master Mo raised an eyebrow, “Is he asking me to play chess again?”
The Chu Family was an aristocratic family of scholars, and Old Master Chu was a well-known erudite. The only common interest he shared with Old Master Mo was playing Go…
“Give it to me.”
The butler passed the phone.
“Old Chu, what do you want?”
Whatever was said on the other end of the line made Old Master Mo burst into laughter, then he turned to look at his granddaughter sitting to his left.
Mo Weiyi, who was eating, “???”
Old Master Mo laughed heartily again, “I mentioned this to you last time, didn't you refuse? What changed your mind? Suddenly deciding to agree?”
“All those details can be discussed, but it mainly depends on the wishes of the two kids.”
“Alright then, I'll ask Yiyi.”
Mo Weiyi again, “???”
Finally, the phone call ended, and she immediately asked, “Grandfather, what do you want to ask me?”
Old Master Mo looked at her cheerfully, “Eat first, we'll talk after dinner.”
“Just tell me, what do you want to ask?” Mo Weiyi urged.
Mo Yaoxiong was also puzzled.
At the dining table, only Xiao Yebai continued to calmly eat his dinner.
Unconcerned.
Uninterested.
Old Master Mo stroked his beard, finally revealing the matter, “Your Grandfather Chu said, he wants you to marry his eldest grandson and become his granddaughter-in-law!”
Upon these words, the dining room fell into a moment of silence.
Xiao Yebai too hesitated for a fraction of a second, almost imperceptibly.
He promptly put down his chopsticks and casually picked up the water glass beside him.
The other two finally registered what was said.
“I don't want to!” Mo Weiyi exclaimed.
Mo Yaoxiong was surprised, “Dad, are you talking about… Chu Xiuhuang?”
“Right, he's Old Chu's eldest grandson, a man of fine appearance. It's just that he's a bit old, I think he's twenty-seven this year, ten years older than Yiyi…”
“Too old!” Mo Weiyi continued.
Mo Yaoxiong then said, “Ten years older isn't too bad, but Yiyi's just a high school senior. Isn't it a bit early to be talking about marriage?”
“There's no rush,” Old Master Mo responded nonchalantly, “They could get engaged first and then have the wedding right after Yiyi's college entrance exam next year.”
Mo Weiyi: “???”
Didn't you hear what I said?
Or did you just treat me like air?
