Chapter 872 Meeting the Parents

"You can leave now." Lin Tan gave up.

"You're coming with me." Qin Mo picked up her ID card, his meaning quite clear.

Lin Tan wanted to say that she didn't call the police because of Jiang Ruan and Mr. Qin.

But if she said that, Qin Mo would definitely say it wasn't necessary, and might even call the police to "turn himself in."

"That day at the hospital, did my mother say something to you?" Qin Mo wondered, seeing her still so hesitant. "Or did Huo Sinian threaten you with something else?"

Lin Tan's voice was very soft: "No."

Qin Mo: "Then come with me."

Lin Tan was about to speak.

"If you're unwilling, I'll wait here." Qin Mo sat down beside him, his posture very clear, "until you're willing to come with me."

Such methods may be despicable.

But he didn't want Lin Tan to bear it alone.

She didn't want her to face Huo Sinian alone.

"You like me that much?" Lin Tan's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"yes."

"What do you like about me?"

I like everything.

"Too fake."

"I don't know what to say specifically." Qin Mo looked at her. "I only know that even though I was angry and disappointed before, I still couldn't bear to hurt you. Even though you said such harsh things, I still don't believe you are that kind of person."

“What if I were?” Lin Tan asked.

“I like it too,” Qin Mo replied. “It’s a good thing to be able to think about yourself.”

Lin Tan was helpless against Qin Mo for the first time.

He can be as restrained, calm, and gentlemanly as he is normally, but when he goes crazy, he can be just as forceful and stubborn.

She thought of many paths and excuses, but Qin Mo blocked each one. He was completely different from the composed person he used to be.

"I am the head of the Qin family and the president of the Qin Group," Qin Mo said. "I will also attend Huo Si's annual meeting. I am not as glamorous as you see me."

Lin Tan looked at him.

“If you’re worried that Huo Sinian will attack me, I will fight back.” Qin Mo wanted to put her at ease. “If you’re worried that my mother will be in a difficult position, I’m more capable than her and can protect you. My grandfather also told me to pursue you without worry, and he will communicate with my mother.”

"Aren't you afraid that this is also part of my scheme?" Lin Tan asked.

"Anything is fine with me," Qin Mo replied. "As long as it's you, anything is fine."

Lin Tan: "I need your money."

Qin Mo: "I happen to be good at making money."

Lin Tan: "It's fate."

Qin Mo: "When I was a child, the master said I had a tough life."

Lin Tan: "Qin Mo."

Qin Mo: "Hmm?"

Lin Tan didn't know what to say.

Logically speaking, when faced with such a sincere person, all she should do is face her own heart and then respond to his feelings.

But she was also afraid.

She's someone who's always looking before and after things.

On one hand, she wanted to be with him, but on the other hand, she had too many concerns.

"The Civil Affairs Bureau is already closed at this time," Lin Tan reminded him. "They won't be open for the next two days either, and I don't have any plans to get married for the time being."

Qin Mo paused.

Looking outside, I realized it was already dark.

"Thank you for your kind words," Lin Tan said, half-jokingly. "Huo Sinian was indeed a factor in our breakup before, but I also had my own reasons. Acting is exhausting, and I didn't want to deal with anything else besides work."

"Do you like me?" Qin Mo looked into her eyes.

Lin Tan's fox-like eyes had lost their usual gentleness and gained a more unfathomable complexity.

like.

Why wouldn't I like it?

Such a person with sound values ​​and a proactive attitude is so easy to get close to.

But she knew that what Madam Yu said to Qin Luofeng was not wrong, not to mention that Qin Mo was now the head of the Qin family. How could she, an orphan abandoned since childhood, be with him?

They are not a good match.

It also carries dangerous elements like Huo Sinian.

"I wouldn't say I like it, but I don't dislike it either," Lin Tan replied.

Qin Mo knew she was lying.

He took out his phone and made a call.

After a few seconds, the other party answered the phone, and Qin Mo took the initiative to speak: "Grandpa."

Old Master Qin: "What is it?"

Qin Mo: "I'd like to bring Lin Tan to see you tomorrow. Do you have time?"

"Yes, of course." Old Master Qin immediately perked up. "When are you coming? What does Lin Tan like to eat? I'll have the kitchen prepare it."

Qin Mo: "Morning."

Grandpa Qin: "Good, good, good."

After chatting for a couple more minutes, I hung up the phone.

Lin Tan: "?"

Lin Tan looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't understand when she had agreed to meet Mr. Qin.

"I—" She had only uttered one word when Qin Mo interrupted her.

"I'll make the decisions you can't make for you." Qin Mo was unusually assertive. "We'll go see Grandpa after breakfast tomorrow morning. In case you run away in the middle of the night, I'll stay here tonight."

Lin Tan: "?"

Lin Tan hadn't expected this.

In the past, Qin Mo was a gentleman, not rash, and respectful.

He wouldn't even step into her room without her permission.

"Go to sleep," Qin Mo said. "I'll keep your ID card for you."

Lin Tan stood still.

I'd like to say something more.

Qin Mo then asked, "Or do you want to see if I'm boring or not?"

Lin Tan: "..."

Lin Tan felt that Qin Mo had changed.

He used to be so serious.

But now it's somewhat shameless.

Knowing that she couldn't reason with him, she went to wash up and rest, thinking that she would have a good chat with Mr. Qin when she met him the next day.

She had heard some things about the Qin family during her time in Haicheng, and naturally knew that Mr. Qin had driven Jiang Ruan's mother out of Haicheng for the sake of his son.

If they can drive away their own daughter, how can she, an outsider who is nothing, even enter the Qin family's door?

With these thoughts in mind, she went to wash up and go to bed.

Before going to bed, she found a clean set of toiletries for Qin Mo.

That night.

Neither of them slept well.

One felt guilty and was burdened with worries.

One is thinking about how to get the other person to lower their guard and concerns so they can be with him.

With each of them lost in their own thoughts, the night quickly came to an end.

The next morning.

After finishing breakfast, the two went to Jiang Ruan's place.

The two barely spoke the rest of the way, with Lin Tan remaining silent.

One hour later.

They arrived at Jiang Ruan's house.

When they arrived, the sun was already up, shining on half of the lawn. Old Master Qin was sitting in the garden outside waiting for them. When he saw them arrive, he said to Huo Zhizhou beside him, "You've brought everyone. Does that mean Qin Mo has won?"

"It depends on their purpose for coming here," Huo Zhizhou said.

Old Master Qin: "?"

Grandpa Qin said a few words to him: "Bringing your partner to see Grandpa, what other purpose could it be besides meeting the parents?"

Huo Zhizhou looked up.

His gaze swept over Qin Mo and Lin Tan.

He remained as calm and nonchalant as ever: "Your grandson might think that way, but the other one might not."

Old Master Qin frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

"You two can chat anytime." Huo Zhizhou stood up, giving them space. "I'll go out with Ruanruan and Suisui first."

"You brat, don't just say half of what you mean," Old Master Qin scolded, feigning anger.

Huo Zhizhou didn't care.

No sooner had he left than Qin Mo and Lin Tan arrived.
