Old Master Mo did not speak for a long time. He did not know what to say.
Mo Beihan looked at Old Master Mo. “What’s the matter? Your tone seemed to imply that my father is still alive?”
Old Master Mo knew he could not hide the fact. He had conducted some background checks on the child. He was very intelligent and was outstanding at his job. If he found out about the Mo family in the future, he would understand everything.
He had no choice but to nod and say, “A-alive!”
Mo Beihan did not say anything. The atmosphere grew still.
Old Master Mo’s heart ached. “This… Little Han Han! Don’t blame Grandfather for not looking for you all these years. I was kept in the dark all along. I was delighted to suddenly discover I had an outstanding grandson like you! Really! I was really elated!”
Mo Beihan’s expression darkened when he heard the old man call him “Little Han Han”!
The Old Master liked to call him ‘Little Han Han’ in his previous life. In this life, they were meeting so many years in advance, but he still had not gotten rid of this bad habit?
When Old Master Mo saw Mo Beihan’s expression darken, he thought that the latter was grieved. So his heart ached even more. He reaffirmed his decision to thrash Mo Huai when he got home.
In order to make up for Mo Beihan’s “pain”, Old Master Mo tried his best to express his delight at his grandson. He kept smiling and trying to ingratiate himself with Mo Beihan. He was affectionate, genial, affable and amiable!
Steward Zhong, who was watching, did not know what to make of it.
Old Master! To think you have come to this!
“Little Han Han! You look just like me when I was young. You not only look like me, even your expression and bearing are the same. When I was young, I was as handsome as you. Why don’t you come home with Grandfather? I’ll let you live in a big house and ask someone to cook good food for you every day. I won’t let you suffer anymore!”
Mo Beihan: “…”
Are you coaxing a child?
Mo Beihan looked at him. “How many other grandchildren do you have?”
Old Master Mo’s expression stiffened. “Th-three!”
He had two sons. His oldest son, Mo Huai, had married upon his return and had a son. That was his eldest grandson. His younger son had two other sons who were younger. They were only teenagers.
Mo Beihan said, “That means my father clearly did not want us to go home to enjoy an easy life. Later on, he married and had a son, didn’t he? He did not mention us for many years, which is why you were kept in the dark for so long. Am I right?”
Once again, Old Master Mo wanted to drag Mo Huai over and thrash him. But in front of Mo Beihan, he could only nod. He was too embarrassed to say anything.
Mo Beihan lowered his eyes, as if suppressing his sorrow. “In that case… we won’t go back. Grandfather, you should just pretend that we don’t exist. Carry on as you had in the past. He’s already married, with one child; and we are used to a life without him. It won’t be good for me to return.”
“How can that be?”
Old Master Mo panicked. It would be a disaster if he could not reunite with this eldest grandson, whom he liked. Once again, he ground his teeth at the thought of Mo Huai. That bastard! He would show him when he got home!
“Han Han! I like you! It wasn’t easy for me to discover that I have another grandson. I liked you very much from the first glance. Come home with me, alright? I’ll make it up to you!
“I guarantee that no one in the Mo family will bully you. Don’t worry about your father’s side. If he dislikes you and bullies you, I will chase them away. You will live with me.
“Come home with me, all right? I came all this way to bring you home. I really want to bring you home. Your grandmother will be wild with delight when she meets you.”
