Chapter 480 Mo Mo with Low Emotional Intelligence

Jiang Ruan was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly betrayed Qin Mo.

"Does he like that girl?" Old Master Qin asked again.

Jiang Ruan didn't hide it anymore: "Yes."

This is no secret. Since Qin Mo chose to confront Huo Sinian head-on, it means he was prepared for the Qin family to find out about this.

Old Master Qin's eyes lit up: "You really like it?"

Jiang Ruan nodded.

Old Master Qin was immediately in a great mood.

I thought I'd never see that guy date or get married in my lifetime, but then this unexpected surprise came. No wonder he always changed the subject and declined whenever I introduced him to someone; he already had someone in mind.

"Where is that girl from?" Old Master Qin asked again, very curious. "Do you have a photo?"

"No," Jiang Ruan said truthfully. "Qin Mo should be back in a few days. You can ask him."

"With his personality of never being able to hold back a single word, asking him would drive me crazy," Old Master Qin said seriously, even forgetting his banter with Li Zhishen.

Jiang Ruan ate her meal silently.

It's foreseeable that Qin Mo will face questioning when he returns in a while.

"An'an." Old Master Qin suddenly turned his gaze to Jiang An.

Jiang An: "?"

Grandpa Qin coughed lightly: "How does that child look?"

Jiang An thought for a moment and gave his answer: "She looks a lot like Junyi when she was young."

Old Master Qin: "Xie Yi's mother?"

Jiang An: "Mm."

Old Master Qin's feelings were mixed. He had a good relationship with Old Master Xie, but the younger generation hadn't had much contact since An'an left Haicheng. It wasn't until Qin Mo grew up that they became friends again.

Even so.

He still remembered that Xie Yi's younger sister died not long after she was born.

At that time, Junyi and his wife suffered a great blow, and Junyi almost became despondent.

"How long until they return?" Old Master Qin's thoughts were quickly distracted, his mind now filled with the realization that Qin Mo had finally come to his senses. "Will they return together this time, or will Qin Mo come alone?"

Jiang Ruan: "..."

How did she know?

Grandpa Qin hadn't considered these things: "Never mind, I'll give him a call."

After saying that, he took out his phone and dialed. When he saw that it was his grandfather calling, Qin Mo naturally answered. His voice was as cold as ever, like an ice cube: "Grandpa."

"Where are you?" Old Master Qin didn't expose him.

"Jingzhou," Qin Mo said calmly.

Old Master Qin: "Why did you go over there?"

Qin Mo said seriously, "Expand into new businesses."

His thinking was simple: Lin Tan hadn't been found yet, and he hadn't helped her resolve the crisis. As long as Huo Sinian hadn't exposed it, he would keep it a secret for the time being to avoid his grandfather asking too many questions.

"New business?" Old Master Qin thought he was quite good at putting on an act.

Qin Mo gave a faint "Mm".

Old Master Qin couldn't hide his joy, but his words were sharp: "The new business is called Lin Tan, right?"

Qin Mo paused.

He realized that he already knew.

"When are you coming back?" Old Master Qin asked in a serious tone, but he was secretly a little smug. This was the first time in so many years that he had left this kid speechless.

Qin Mo glanced at Huo Zhizhou and said calmly, "I don't know for now."

“I won’t rush you,” said Old Master Qin, “but you…”

"Don't worry, I've already arranged everything at the Qin Group." Qin Mo thought he was afraid that he would abandon the company. "If there's any emergency, I'll handle it promptly."

Old Master Qin was a little angry.

When did he ask that?

"What does it have to do with me whether you've made proper arrangements or not?" Old Master Qin didn't care at all; his mind was only on his granddaughter-in-law. "I'm just telling you to remember to bring Lin Tan back. It's been so long, and you still don't know what the girl you like looks like."

Qin Mo was stunned.

Jiang An glanced over here, but immediately looked away without changing his expression and continued eating.

But Jiang Ruan and Li Zhishen noticed this scene.

The two looked at Jiang An at the same time.

Jiang Ruan's feelings are a mixture of heartache and complex emotions.

Li Zhishen then thought of the past.

If only Grandpa Qin had been as eager as he is now to see An'an bring him into the family back then...

Li Zhishen rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind; it was impossible.

Let alone the fact that the Qin family and the Li family didn't get along back then, Old Master Qin disliked him from the very beginning. Even if the two families had gotten along really well, Old Master Qin probably still wouldn't have liked him.

Just as he disliked Huo Zhizhou.

No matter how rich or good-looking he is, he's not good enough for his daughter.

"It's settled then." Old Master Qin didn't notice any of this. "Remember to bring that girl to meet us when you come back."

Qin Mo: "We'll see."

Old Master Qin: "You little rascal..."

"I have something to do here, so I'll hang up now." Qin Mo didn't want to talk about it anymore, nor did he want to make a decision for Lin Tan. "We'll talk about it when I'm done."

"Go, go, go," Old Master Qin urged.

As the call ended, Old Master Qin couldn't hide his joy. He put his phone away and continued eating, noticing the "strange" look in Li Zhishen's eyes as he picked up some food.

Old Master Qin: "?"

Without even thinking, Old Master Qin retorted, "What are you looking at? Finish your meal and leave."

"My wife and daughter are here, why should I leave?" Li Zhishen's skin has become increasingly thick these past few days, more or less influenced by Huo Zhizhou after his amnesia.

Jiang An: "?"

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Their eyes fell on him.

Even though he hadn't said a single word, Li Zhishen felt a chill run down his spine.

He coughed lightly and calmly changed his words, saying, "What I meant was the wife and daughter I had in my heart."

Jiang An remained silent, simply staring at him.

Li Zhishen was a little timid, but he knew what she meant: "I can stay here to protect your safety."

“No need.” Mo Mo, who had been silent until now, spoke up, still in a robotic tone, “I can protect Madam and Boss by myself. Your presence here would only be a hindrance.”

Li Zhishen: "?"

Are bodyguards these days so rude?

"Boss, there's something I'm not sure if I should say." Mo Mo stopped eating.

"Then..." Before he could finish saying those two words, Mo Mo spoke again.

“Mr. Li has been eating here for dozens of days without ever paying for his meals.” His eyes were clear and his tone was flat. “Do you think we should ask him to pay a little? After all, we work hard to earn money.”

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Jiang An: "..."

Old Master Qin: "..."

Tang Bai: "..."

Sui Sui: "..."

Everyone fell silent.

For the first time, Sui Sui realized how incredibly low a person's emotional intelligence could be.

Jiang Ruan had never considered this issue. Although Li Zhishen had never raised her for a single day, the gifts he gave her on her birthday and in daily life were quite valuable. In addition, her mother had not kicked him out, so she let him stay there.

But now, for the first time, she didn't know how to respond.

"Shut up!" Tang Bai poked him, giving him a look that said, "Don't tell anyone we know each other when we go out. All you ever think about is money. When did it become your place to interfere in the young lady's affairs?"
