Xu Mo took a deep breath, understanding the old man's good intentions in his heart.
But look at what you’re saying, is this even human language?
What do you mean by "dead or alive, work yourself to death"?
Isn't it normal for parents to advise, "When young, you don’t know the value of energy; when old, you sit alone and cry"?
And to tell us not to indulge.
Wow, old man, you just come up with the opposite strategy.
Thinking about his own astonishing stamina.
Xu Mo couldn’t help but smile, a bit embarrassed.
And this scene just so happened to fall into the old man’s eyes.
“Smiling? You can still smile? Don’t blame me for not warning you; if you don’t rest, you’ll die from exhaustion, and the only thing your mom and I care about is our little grandson.”
Xu Mo coughed, then casually replied, “Uh, got it, got it.”
“What kind of attitude is that? So casual?”
“Dad, children are the result of the joint efforts of two people. You should talk to Qiaoqiao. If you’re too embarrassed, you can ask Mom to go.”
“You little rascal! What are you talking about?!”
Xu Fuqiang huffed, his beard flying, and his eyes glaring.
“If I were twenty years younger——”
“Start a new account?”
Xu Fuqiang was momentarily stunned, then pouted and nodded, “Correct------------”
“What are you father and son doing hiding here? Dinner’s ready, and we have a dinner gathering with my parents’ side tonight.”
Su Ting’s voice came from outside.
Xu Fuqiang’s face instantly changed.
It was as if he had become a completely different person.
He opened his mouth, about to get all lovey-dovey with his wife.
Xu Mo spoke first.
“Mom, you’re just in time. Dad just said he wants to delete his account and start a new one.”
Su Ting’s smile froze!
Xu Fuqiang’s mouth twitched violently, what the hell is this? This is such a betrayal!
“You little——”
“Old Xu, you want to start a new account?”
Su Ting was momentarily stunned, then showed a smile of a virtuous wife.
But this smile was very cold.
So cold that old Xu couldn’t help but shiver!
His mouth trembled uncontrollably.
“I didn’t, I didn’t, Xiao Ting, you know me, that kid is just talking nonsense, don’t believe him. Let me have him explain.”
Old Xu said, his gaze turning to Xu Mo’s direction.
But in that moment, not only could he not see Xu Mo, but even his shadow was gone.
Su Ting’s smile grew even colder, her tone calm.
“What kind of person is my son? As his mother, I know him better than anyone.”
“No, wait, let me explain——”
“I’ve worked so hard for this family, and all I get is you saying ‘start a new account.’ Fine, I’m not worthy; you clearly don’t have me in your heart. Go ahead and do it.”
“Ah, it’s my fault, I’m wrong.”
Old Xu was almost in tears.
Some words can hurt more than guns and cannons.
Ouch, I’ve been pierced by my wife’s words.
Old Xu’s heart ached so much!
At the same time, he reached for the belt at his waist.
You little traitor! Traitor!
It’s driving me mad!
Su Ting noticed old Xu’s little move.
“What? Not only do you want to start a new account, but you also want to delete your current one?”
Xu Fuqiang’s head shook like a rattle, if he could cry, he would’ve wailed loudly!
“I didn’t! You’re totally misunderstanding me, I would never think that.”
After much persuasion,
Xu Fuqiang finally managed to calm Su Ting down.
It was all Xu Mo’s fault.
This could’ve been avoided.
This brat has been pulling these tricks on his father for so long.
And now he’s hooked on it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have caused this mess.
Old Xu’s heart was full of bitterness.
After lunch,
Xu Mo took the ‘demoness’ out shopping in the afternoon.
And Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting also had their own things to do.
As for Xu Shi and An Youyi,
“An sister, do you know a guy named Li Caijun?”
“Who’s he?” An Youyi blinked, looking innocent.
Xu Shi paused, then chuckled,
“The third-ranked fighter in Dragon King Hall, nickname Nightmare Butcher.”
An Youyi thought about it, “Okay, got it. Need him for something?”
“Not us needing him, he’s coming for us. This guy will become the key aide to Lin Fan, who will try to eliminate Xu Mo!”
“When did this happen?”
An Youyi asked calmly,
her tone carrying a hint of cold precision.
Xu Shi: “I’m not sure, but it’s coming soon. Yuan sister called and said all the bombs you planted were found by Lin Fan.”
An Youyi pulled out a strange and extremely sharp dagger, muttering to herself, “I never expected that to kill him anyway.”
“An sister, you’re not planning to go in alone, are you? No, we have the upper hand now, with you and Song Ligang on our side. Xu Mo will be fine. Besides, Xu Mo also practices Ancient Martial Arts Technique, as long as we stay put, Lin Fan can’t do anything to us.”
An Youyi shook her head, “Some things must be done.”
“Then we need to find a chance to strike,”
Xu Shi said.
An Youyi thought for a moment, “Isn’t Han Zhiqi’s grandfather connected with Lin Fan? Tell Han Zhiqi, have her family organize a Hongmen Banquet.”
Xu Shi’s eyes lit up, “An sister, you’re brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that? Give me a moment, I’ll call Zhiqi sister right now.”
Shortly after,
Xu Shi briefly explained her plan to Han Zhiqi.
Killing Lin Fan, Xu Mo might die.
But not killing Lin Fan, Xu Mo will definitely die.
Han Zhiqi didn’t think twice and agreed.
And told Xu Shi and An Youyi to come to the Han family as soon as possible.
“Isn’t today too rushed?”
“Feeling rushed is exactly what we want, that’s the effect we’re aiming for. Tell the others, I’m going to prepare.”
Ding ding ding-------------------
The call ended.
Han Zhiqi raised an eyebrow, murmuring, “You saved me before, this time it’s my turn.”
As she spoke, she walked toward a courtyard.
Over at the Han residence,
Han Xiong was drinking with a few old men.
As they were having a good time,
they saw their precious granddaughter, Han Zhiqi, in a red dress, walking in.
Before Han Xiong could say anything,
Han Zhiqi spoke first.
“Grandpa, call Lin Fan and have him come here for dinner tonight.”
The few old guys from the underworld and the business world were stunned.
Old Han, you’re not acting right!
We’ve already discussed with our family about our children.
And suddenly, Lin Fan is a thing?
Hmm, maybe it’s a woman.
Before they could process the situation.
Han Xiong excitedly jumped up, completely disregarding his elder’s image, “Good! Good! Good! I’m so happy to hear you say that!”
“Grandpa, I only have one request! Don’t say it was me, say it was your idea.”
Han Xiong paused.
It seemed like his granddaughter was shy.
⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄
It’s natural for a young, unmarried lady.
To invite her boyfriend home for dinner.
It would be strange if she wasn’t shy.
“Grandpa, are you going to agree?”
Han Zhiqi frowned.
Han Xiong stroked his beard, his face full of smiles.
“Agreed! Agreed! This is a big deal for your future, how could I not agree?”
Han Zhiqi nodded, then walked away with her high heels clicking.
As soon as Han Zhiqi left,
the old men at the table were instantly dissatisfied.
Their eyes were wide like copper bells.
“Old Han, you should give us an explanation! Before we talked about my grandson, and you seemed pretty interested.”
“Big Han, you’re being unfair! You’re really hurting us younger brothers’ feelings.”
“Yeah! Keep some goodwill for the future.”
“Who’s this Lin Fan? I’ve never heard of a powerful Lin family in Magic City, or is he from the Imperial Capital?”
