Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing? - Chapter 125
Chapter 125: Why Did You Return?
“If this old man can’t save his own grandson and granddaughter-in-law today, I will make you die with me!” Elder Mo charged up the stairs, shaking with anger.
Mo Shaoze saw that he was not just putting on a front, and his expression instantly turned cold. “Ji Nuan can be released, but even if you bring her to look for Jingshen right now, the results cannot be undone. What is the point of doing something unnecessary?”
“Release, you dog ass! Jingshen definitely won’t touch that brat from the An family!” Elder Mo sternly claimed. “Are you releasing her or not? Are you trying to push our family into destruction—for me beat you, this unfilial son, to death, and to bring our Mo family into a chaotic, broken home? Will you only stop when that happens?”
Mo Shaoze was silent for a moment before he suddenly threw a glance toward the guard standing by the staircase.
The guard nodded and brought his key forward, unlocking the room Ji Nuan was kept in.
The tinkling sound of the door being unlocked rang. In the next second, Ji Nuan pushed the door open with force and stumbled out. The moment she raised her eyes, she saw Mo Shaoze standing in the hallway with an unhappy expression. Her face turned pale as she moved to look at Elder Mo.
“Ji brat! Did you get hurt anywhere? Quickly, tell grandfather!” Elder Mo walked over shakily with the support of his walking stick. He scanned her with eyes filled with heartache.
Ji Nuan’s lips were reddened with blood from where she had bitten. She stared silently at the elder for a long moment, confirming the realness of his anger and heartache before she suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart. She tried her best to ask calmly, “Grandfather, what you said earlier, is it all true?”
Knowing that she had heard him, Elder Mo closed his eyes. He clearly did not wish for her to suffer too much as he softly comforted, “Don’t worry. I believe in Jingshen. He definitely will be able to get through it.”
Mo Shaoze’s eyes were dark and cold. “Father, you’ve already seen the person. Can you rest assured now?”
Elder Mo had turned back to scold him, but Mo Shaoze had already called the guard over. “Send the Elder back to the Mo mansion.”
“You want me to return alone? No way, Ji Nuan must come with me!”
Elder Mo held onto his walking stick with one hand, while his other hand quickly stretched out to hold onto Ji Nuan’s wrist. He tugged her behind him; his old and slightly slanted body keeping Ji Nuan safe.
Ji Nuan looked at the elder in front of her but was unable to say a word. Her eyes were cold as she looked at the expressionless Mo Shaoze.
Mo Shaoze was mindless of Ji Nuan’s gaze as he slowly and coldly said, “I’ve already allowed you to catch a glimpse of her, to confirm that she did not come to any harm here. However, before tomorrow morning, she is not allowed to leave this place. She has to stay obediently within my sight and cannot be allowed to ruin this good thing between Jingshen and Shuyan.”
Ji Nuan’s breath was almost trembling. She abruptly opened her mouth. “You’ve used such a method to force him into a corner. Have you thought about what consequences you’ll have to face tomorrow!” ”
Mo Jingshen chuckled in disdain. “The consequences? The consequences are naturally that you will sign the divorce papers. Did you think that after tonight Jingshen will still be yours?”
In both her lives, Ji Nuan had never been angered to the point of trembling. If the person before her eyes were not Mo Jingshen’s father, she would have charged toward him with a knife.
Sensing her agitated emotions, Elder Mo pressed onto her hand. “Ji brat, return with grandfather first.”
“She cannot leave!” Mo Shaoze’s gaze was slightly unhappy.
“She must return with me!” Elder Mo firmly held onto Ji Nuan’s wrist, refusing to leave her here. “She is Jingshen’s person. Even if Jingshen isn’t here, just based on how Ji Nuan calls me ‘grandfather,’ I have to make sure I bring her back safely to the Mo family!”
“Shuyan can also call you ‘grandfather.'” Mo Jingshen’s expression was cold and heavy. “After tonight, Jingshen will understand the person most suited for him is still Shuyan.”
Elder Mo’s face was cold. His hand remained firmly around Ji Nuan’s wrist, keeping her behind him. Each time the two guards tried to approach, the elder raised his walking stick to force them aside.
Elder Mo spoke lowly with anger. “Whoever dares to touch my granddaughter-in-law will have to first step over my body!”
“Father!” Mo Shaoze’s face darkened while his voice carried warning and dissatisfaction. “At your age, you shouldn’t be interfering with the younger generation!”
Elder Mo refused to move. Even though he was old, his gaze remained bright. He did not lose in any way when compared to his fifty-years-old son.
Seeing this scene, Mo Shaoze furrowed his brows after a moment and waved his hand with impatience. “All right, all right. Let them go. Send the elder back to the old mansion.”
Elder Mo’s expression did not warm up. He was angered, and his face was pale, as he brought Ji Nuan down the stairs.
“It’s fine if you want to bring Ji Nuan back to the Mo mansion. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have Jingshen and Shuyan go greet you, and have her directly sign the divorce papers,” Mo Shaoze stood by the staircase, saying with a heavy voice.
Elder Mo harrumphed coldly and did not pay him any mind.
Ji Nuan was brought into the car. Elder Mo sat in the front seat and ordered the chauffeur to begin driving with a heavy expression.
He then turned back to comfort her. “Child, don’t worry. I believe in Jingshen. Based on his willpower, he definitely will be able to overcome everything that happens tonight. He loves you and wishes to hold onto your marriage. Aside from you, he won’t touch any other woman. Trust your grandfather.”
Ji Nuan had been suppressing her emotions for a long time, trying her best to maintain her calm in front of the elder to prevent him from worrying. She softly asked, “So right now, he really is with An Shuyan? They’re locked together?”
Elder Mo sighed softly. “I know better than anyone the type of person Mo Jingshen’s father is. That he was able to lock you here today forcefully means things must have gone as he planned on Jingshen’s side. If it weren’t because I heard some rumors from the people on Shao Ze’s side, I would not have been able to rush here to bring you away.”
“Since you were able to find me, does that mean you know where Jingshen is?” Ji Nuan furrowed her brows.
Elder Mo shook his head. “Before coming here, I’ve already sent my people to search. But Hai City is so big, and there are more than ten thousand four-and-five-star hotels. What Grandfather can do now is to rescue you. Although I can’t find Jingshen, you are his heart. I can’t allow you to be hurt.”
“Stop the car.” Ji Nuan suddenly said. “Grandfather, let me get off.”
Elder Mo was silent for a moment. It was not as if he did not understand her character. This was after all the marriage between her and Mo Jingshen. If she felt like she needed to say or do something, it was not right for him to stop her.
The car stopped, and Ji Nuan abruptly pushed open the door and got off.
She turned and ran back into that villa, rushing in before the main gates were shut.
Mo Shaoze heard the rapid steps outside the door. He turned back and saw it was actually Ji Nuan. His heavy, cold eyes watched her apathetically.
“You’ve already been brought away by the elder, what did you return for?” Mo Shaoze said coldly.
“You should be well aware that on the issue of An Shuyan, Jingshen saved some face for both the An family and you. However, now that you’ve used such an absurd method to restrain him, you may not be able to continue suppressing him as you wish!” Ji Nuan was mindless of the two guards blocking her. Her cold eyes were directed at Mo Shaoze.
