The Sudden Visit of Lu's Mother

After meeting Mo Qingqing, Mo Xuan's life gradually returned to a state of calm.

He completed the interview at Rongxing, but it wasn't quite what he had expected. Instead of being assigned to the R&D department, he was temporarily tasked with modifying and rewriting program code. The work was much lighter compared to what he had anticipated, and since it was remote work, his daily routine remained largely unchanged.

Of course, he had no idea that Luo Muqi had met Cheng Wenxin, nor did he know what exactly had transpired.

Mo Xuan sat in the living room, typing on his laptop, while his two daughters played with dolls beside him. Luo Wei'er and Luo Xue'er were very well-behaved; they didn't disturb their father when he was busy. Occasionally, they would cling to Mo Xuan's arm like little kittens, gazing at the screen filled with cryptic code, which only made them feel dizzy.

"Good girls, Daddy will find a cartoon for you to watch on the tablet, so don't look at this anymore."

Mo Xuan gently pinched the cheeks of the two little girls, then picked up a tablet from the side and placed it on the coffee table. As he was searching for a Pokémon show suitable for them, a nanny approached nervously and said to Mo Xuan, "Mr. Mo, maybe you should take the little ladies upstairs first. Madam is here."

Mo Xuan nearly dropped his laptop. Shen Qingyun, the mother of Luo Shiya and Luo Muqi, always made him extremely nervous whenever he saw her.

Shen Qingyun never showed much dislike or affection for Mo Xuan. Each time they met, her demeanor was always indifferent. Although the rest of the Luo family tacitly accepted the situation, Shen Qingyun's attitude was different. Especially when Mo Xuan felt that her gaze towards him carried a hint of hostility.

Mo Xuan could understand. If it were his own precious "cabbage" being taken by a "pig," and even by such a lowly one at that, he would feel the same. As the "pig" in question, Mo Xuan felt extremely guilty when facing this woman, who was technically his mother-in-law.

"Xuan, take the kids upstairs."

Luo Shiya emerged from the study at some point after Mo Xuan had started his job. The two sisters had also begun working from home. However, today Luo Muqi had been invited to attend an art exhibition, so she was not at home.

Mo Xuan felt that the two of them had become a bit too clingy recently. They followed him to visit their grandmother, accompanied him to school occasionally, and even questioned him about his plans whenever he wanted to go out. If he wanted to buy something, the sisters would simply call someone to deliver it. If he wanted to take a stroll or go out to play, they always found ways to keep him at home. Moreover, the two daughters would also demand his company whenever he had free time.

Mo Xuan also felt that his mental state had become somewhat peculiar recently. Normally, he wouldn't have been so compliant with these things, but he had.

Shaking his head, Mo Xuan realized now was not the time to think about these matters. He closed his laptop and picked up his two daughters, carrying them upstairs. Halfway up the stairs, a cold voice echoed from the first floor: "Why, can't I, as their grandmother, even see my granddaughters?"

Shen Qingyun, accompanied by others, looked up at Mo Xuan and the two little girls. Luo Wei'er and Luo Xue'er seemed delighted to see her and waved their little hands enthusiastically: "Grandma, Grandma!"

Shen Qingyun's eyes softened for a moment, but quickly returned to their usual coldness. She glanced at Mo Xuan and said in a detached tone, "Fine, take the children upstairs first. I need to talk to Shiya."

Mo Xuan nodded in agreement. He knew Shen Qingyun didn't like him, so he carried the children to their bedroom. Shen Qingyun watched Mo Xuan's retreating figure, then turned to the people behind her and ordered, "You all go out first. I need to talk to my daughter."

The people Shen Qingyun brought with her all left, and Uncle Zheng also took the nannies and servants away, leaving only the mother and daughter in the living room.

"Where's your sister?" Shen Qingyun slowly sat down on the sofa. "You two are getting more and more impressive. Luo Tian told me that Muqi hit Cheng Wenxin. Shiya, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Nothing much, just like what you did," Luo Shiya replied, sitting on the sofa opposite her mother, removing her gold-rimmed glasses and placing them on the coffee table. "Mom, weren't you the one who held Dad tightly back then? Why is it not allowed for us now?"

Shen Qingyun stared directly into Luo Shiya's eyes, and the madness she saw there surpassed even her own in its intensity.

"It's different..."

Shen Qingyun hesitated before speaking, but Luo Shiya interrupted her with a smile, "What's different? What we're doing now is no different from what you did back then."

"You deliberately got pregnant with me, and with Muqi as well. Mom, should I say we truly are mother and daughter? Even our methods are so similar."

Shen Qingyun did not respond, merely looking at her eldest daughter, while Luo Shiya remained calm and unflustered, meeting her gaze without hesitation.

"I never expected you two to be so crazy, to both fall for the same man and be so persistent," Shen Qingyun sighed. "When the old man's illegitimate child caused trouble, always eyeing you two and Luo Tian, your father, your uncle, and I were all preoccupied. We had no choice but to send you and Muqi away."

"Mom, I've never hated you for that. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have met Xuan," Luo Shiya said in a calm tone. "Even when Grandma abandoned me and Muqi to protect Luo Tian, I didn't hate her. Muqi and I are girls, and Luo Tian is the only male heir of the Luo family. I understand her decision."

"So, I hope you can understand me and Muqi. We only want Mo Xuan. As for the Cheng family, if you find it troublesome, I can just make the Cheng family go bankrupt."

Luo Shiya spoke casually, but Shen Qingyun felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing it.

Since Mo Xuan lost his memory, the sisters had gone mad with learning. After entering university, they secretly gathered all the secrets of other prestigious families in Capital.

Shen Qingyun sometimes felt that her two daughters were monsters. During their university years, Luo Shiya and Luo Muqi had already taken charge of Luo Corporation's business and had invested heavily in establishing a pharmaceutical laboratory.

They had spent an unknown amount of money and resources to build connections and manage networks. In the end, all the dark secrets of the families and enterprises in Capital that could threaten Luo Corporation, along with the steadily rising financial reports of Luo Corporation, were presented to the Luo family.

And they had only one demand: they wanted Mo Xuan.

Initially, the Luo matriarch's compromise was merely a test of Luo Shiya's attitude. In terms of ability and cunning, she was even more profound than Luo Muqi. To the matriarch's surprise, Luo Shiya threatened to destroy Luo Corporation, and the matriarch, feeling guilty about the past, ultimately had to yield.

"The Cheng family hasn't pursued the matter, and Cheng Wenxin himself has no face to do so, but..." Shen Qingyun glanced at her daughter helplessly. "Also, I deeply loved your father, and I never regretted having you two..."

"I know, and Muqi and I are now mothers," Luo Shiya looked at the doll on the sofa. "But I love Mo Xuan even more."
