Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Along the way, Shi Mo had explained the basic situation of the family.
It turned out that Shi Mo’s mother had died of illness in her early years. Later, his father had remarried.
Shi Mo’s stepmother also had a son who was only 17 years old.
Upon entering the door, Fang Mo’er saw a woman who was dressed elegantly.
The woman was wearing a red veil and was dressed in a formal gown. She carried herself in great style.
When she saw Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er enter, she immediately came over and asked, “Oh, whose daughter is this?”
Fang Mo’er knew that this had to be Shi Mo’s stepmother.
“Where’s my father?” Shi Mo asked coldly.
Wu Ling pursed her lips and replied, “He’s up there.”
She looked Fang Mo’er up and down with a critical look in her eyes. “I think that this person isn’t as good as the Cheng family’s daughter.”
“You don’t have to worry about whether she’s good or not.” Shi Mo said coldly.
“What are you saying? No matter what, you were raised by me. If I don’t worry, who will?” Wu Ling said angrily.
Shi Mo ignored her and dragged Fang Mo’er upstairs.
Shi Mo said to Fang Mo’er, “My stepmother has been trying to stop me from getting married. She’s worried that after I have an heir, I’ll compete with her son for the family assets.”
Fang Mo’er clicked her tongue in wonder. “No wonder you were stood up when you got married.”
Shi Mo’s eyes darkened. He was clearly the person in charge of the Shi family, yet he had always been single.
Back then, at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he had initially wanted to find a random person to get married to.
He had not expected to meet Fang Mo’er, at the entrance itself, no less.
Shi Mo knocked on the door.
In the room, Shi Tian was painting in the study room.
When he saw Shi Mo bringing someone in, he quickly put down his brush.
“Here you are!”
Shi Tian glanced at Fang Mo’er and nodded. “So, this is the young miss of the Fang family? Not bad, not bad. You both look very compatible.”
Although her family background was a little shabby compared to the Shi family, which owned a big business, Fang Mo’er looked like a good girl.
She did not look like the kind who would betray Shi Mo.
Recently, Shi Mo had been protecting Fang Mo’er very well and had not exposed the fact that the two of them were together.
In his heart, Shi Tian knew the reason that Shi Mo had not been able to get married in the past few years. Thankfully, it had not destroyed his belief in a marriage of love.
“Dad,” Shi Mo said, “Have you been feeling better recently?”
Shi Tian coughed, “The doctor said that I need to rest and recuperate, so it’s been somewhat effective.”
Shi Mo nodded.
Shi Tian looked at Fang Mo’er again. Fang Mo’er quickly said, “I should have come over earlier.”
Shi Tian waved his hand and said, “It’s alright. You guys can live your own lives.”
The reason Shi Mo had moved out was for the sake of peace within the family.
Otherwise, Wu Ling would continue to interfere with everything.
“Oh right, I heard from Shi Mo that you guys have been together for half a year. When do you plan to have a child?” Shi Tian asked again.
He knew that he would not be able to last more than a few years. In his lifetime, he would have no regrets if he could just have a grandchild.
Fang Mo’er’s face turned hot and she stole a glance at Shi Mo.
Shi Mo held her hand lovingly. “Mo’er is still on the rise in her career. I won’t be considering it for the time being.”
Shi Tian looked at Shi Mo in surprise when he heard that.
He had thought that Shi Mo would immediately have a child as soon as he had a girlfriend as a slap in the face to Wu Ling.
He had not expected Shi Mo to change his mind.
It seemed that Shi Mo really had his heart set on Fang Mo’er.
“Very good, very good!” Shi Tian was happy for Shi Mo.
Shi Tian was not in a good state. After sitting for a while, he went to rest.
Shi Mo then left with Fang Mo’er.
When they went back downstairs, Wu Ling said sarcastically, “It’s not easy for you to come back, so why are you leaving so soon? You remember that you have a father, but you don’t know that you have a mother like me.”
Wu Ling had always prided herself on the fact that she had raised Shi Mo. Although she was biased in her opinion, Shi Mo really did not want to touch her.
“Mother!” Shi Mo said, “I still have something to do, so I’ll come and visit you next time.”
After saying that, Shi Mo left with Fang Mo’er.
Wu Ling still did not know that Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er were already married. All she knew was that the two of them were a couple.
She could not help but say, “This Fang Mo’er is not good enough for you, you should find someone who is of equal status.”
Shi Mo stood still. “I can’t marry someone of equal status, can I?”
Wu Ling choked for a moment, feeling a little guilty.
In the past, Shi Tian had arranged for Shi Mo to get married. In the end, just as Miss Cheng was about to enter the house, Wu Ling had provoked her and caused the two of them to suddenly cancel the engagement at the crucial moment of the final marriage registration.
Wu Ling had always been proud of her actions. She had thought that Shi Mo had stopped having anything to do with relationships for half a year and had already given up on the idea of marrying and having children. She had not expected him to have hidden one instead.
After Shi Mo left, Wu Ling went upstairs and saw Shi Tian sighing.
“It seems that I won’t be able to have a grandson in my lifetime!”
Wu Ling quickly went forward. “Master, what are you saying?”
“Sigh, Fang Mo’er has no intention of having a child at all. She’s focused on her career. What can I do?”
A smile flashed across Wu Ling’s eyes when she heard that. “Well, our Yu’er will soon be of marriageable age. When that time comes....”
