Age had started to catch up to Qian Yikun’s mother. Mo Fei felt bad for letting the elderly lady stand. Hence, she hurriedly got up from the bed and stood there with a demureness that Mo Fei hated to see on herself.
Qian Yikun’s mother nodded and walked in. Mo Fei watched as she sat down at the side of the bed.
“I know you’re not feeling well, so please sit down.” Her voice was lukewarm; it revealed nothing about what she was feeling.
Mo Fei did not think that Qian Yikun’s mother liked her. After all, she was not exactly on her best behavior the last time they met.
“Have you seen the latest news?” Qian Yikun’s mother went straight to the point.
“I know a little.” Facing Qian Yikun’s mother, Mo Fei found herself unable to identify the emotions she was having. What she did know was that this incident that happened to the Qian family was related to her.
“Yikun’s father and I aren’t old-fashioned people. We won’t interfere with matters concerning his relationship. If your relationship with Yikun is steady, I hope you can get married as soon as possible.”
Hearing those words from Qian Yikun’s mother, Mo Fei’s head snapped up suddenly.
“The recent news started because of you. Yesterday, Yikun’s father told Yikun that if you are really on good terms with each other, you’d married sooner or later. Therefore, it’s best if you get married now and shatter the rumors.” Qian Yikun’s mother analyzed the whole thing logically.
Yet, Mo Fei was somewhat stunned. “Qian Yikun knew that marrying me was the best solution?”
Yet, he had not mentioned it at all yesterday. She knew that all thanks to Gu Juexi. She had originally thought that Gu Juexi was pulling her leg on purpose, but now it seemed like everyone realized that this was the best solution.
Qian Yikun also knew this, but he did not say it.
Qian Yikun’s mother nodded. Truth be told, she did not have much of a good impression of Mo Fei. Mo Fei might be pretty to the eyes, but her sudden appearance had already caused so many problems for her family. There really was not a reason for Qian Yikun’s mother to like Mo Fei.
It was just that she felt like this lady looked somewhat familiar. She looked somewhat similar to the lady who married into the Ding family, but pretty ladies looked somewhat alike, after all.
Mo Fei lowered her eyes slightly and held her hands tightly. “Auntie, I understand. I will marry Qian Yikun.”
Qian Yikun’s mother saw the determination in Mo Fei’s eyes and was surprised. Initially, she had thought that this lady seemed to be mostly aloof and did not care about her son as much as her son cared about her.
So, was that misconception part of her imagination?
Mo Fei took a deep breath. She would agree to marry Qian Yikun, but before that, she had to find someone.
For example, tonight.
Qian Yikun’s mother did not expect that Mo Fei would agree so quickly. All the words of persuasion that she came up with had no chance of appearing.
“Are your parents in B City? Can we visit them when Yikun’s dad and I are free?” Qian Yikun’s mother asked. However, when she mentioned Mo Fei’s parents, she could clearly detect changes in Mo Fei’s expression.
The room suddenly fell silent. Qian Yikun’s mother probably realized something.
“I don’t have parents,” Mo Fei said in a low voice. It did not sound like she was aggrieved—it sounded as plain as stating a fact.
A child without parents was a pitiful child.
Hence, Qian Yikun’s mother started to develop a sense of pity toward Mo Fei.
Qian Yikun’s mother did not stay any longer. Now that she had achieved her goal, she had to leave. Or else, when her son returned, he would blame her for interfering in his matters.
After Qian Yikun’s mother left, Mo Fei reached out to touch her chest. Her wounds still hurt, but to deal with a woman? She could still achieve that.
As Mo Fei thought about this, she turned around and returned to her room. As to where Huang Jiaojiao lived, Mo Fei could not be more familiar with that. Thus, tonight, Mo Fei would see how the woman could hide from her.
