Chapter 64: Coincidental Encounter in the Black Market
Mo Jinrong walked into the old man’s tent.
“Hey! Young Master Mo, what brings you in?”
The old man stood up immediately.
“Don’t flatter me, here is 200,000 yuan. We need news of international hacker Q.”
Mo San placed the bank card on the table.
“Young Master Mo, there hasn’t been news of Zero from the last time you asked me to find her. I wouldn’t dare to accept this money.”
The old man returned the money respectfully.
He had a rule: not to take on a job without the right skills. If he didn’t have the skills to do something, he wouldn’t accept money, else, it would tarnish his reputation.
“It’s different this time, Zero rarely appears internationally. Q is different, he’s been appearing frequently. I need news of him,” Mo Jinrong said softly.
“Okay, okay, I will definitely follow Young Master Mo’s instructions, but you can take the money back. I hope that you will come to give me the money after I find the information.”
The old man smiled.
Mo San retracted the money and glanced at Mo Jinrong.
“Did anyone find out anything from you today?”
The old man thought for a moment.
“According to the black market’s rules, we don’t ask visitors for their names and they don’t reveal information about the seller. I have a lot of people here everyday, Young Master Mo, it’s best you don’t ask anymore.”
Mo Jinrong stood up without a word and walked out.
“I’ll be back in three days to see what news you have…”
Mo San left after saying that.
“Young Master, what should we do if the old man isn’t willing to tell us?”
Mo San was at a loss.
“We can’t break the rules of the black market, we’ll ask Rong Ze tomorrow.”
Mo Jinrong’s eyes were like black holes, secretive and gradually deepening.
….
The next day, Lan Anran woke up a little later. She wore a long white tassel dress paired with a pair of crystal shoes. Her ponytail was lowered and she wore a black bowknot, making her look extremely ladylike.
She went to the hospital to visit Li Yueru first.
“Sis, you look great today!”
Lan Yanran’s eyes lit up.
“When has your sister not been pretty?”
Li Yueru smiled as she held Lan Anran’s hand.
“Anran, it’s your first time meeting Mrs. Mo, so you must behave well. The Mo Family is different from the Lan Family, you must speak carefully. Why don’t you let your father come with you?”
Li Yueru was worried that her daughter would be bullied by Mrs. Mo if she met her alone.
“It’s alright Mom, the Mo Family’s banquet is held today. It wouldn’t be appropriate for Dad to attend, I can handle myself.”
Lan Anran smiled obediently.
“Miss Lan, it’s time, we should go.”
Mo Jinrong was a little anxious as he waited downstairs, so he personally went to the ward to urge her. When he first saw her, Mo Jinrong was stunned. Lan Anran was really different today. She was less student-like and more mature.
Lan Anran glanced at Mo Jinrong and smiled.
“Mom, Dad, I’m leaving.”
Lan Tingyun watched as his daughter was taken away and felt his heart ache.
The three of them didn’t speak along the way and the car drove all the way to the Mo Family Villa.
Lan Anran got out of the car and was filled with emotions when she saw this familiar place. In her past life, she had lived here for many years, but didn’t often think of it anymore. Now that she saw it again, she felt a sense of familiarity and nostalgia.
“From now on, I am Mo Jinrong.”
Mo Jinrong strode in, displaying his masterly manner.
Lan Anran smiled and followed behind.
The Mo Family had the largest villa in Rong City. There was a huge fountain statue at the front door and a tall opera house could be seen from afar. It was the place that the Old Mrs. Mo frequented the most. She enjoyed listening to opera, so she asked someone to build a stage in the Mo Family’s original garden. Usually, when someone came, they would invite them to listen to opera. This time, the banquet was also being held near the stage.
Listening to opera was the highest form of welcoming in the Mo Family.
The three of them went to the opera house. With each step, images of her past life appeared in Lan Anran’s mind. In her past life, Mo Jinrong often brought her here to listen to opera. Back then, she hated listening, but Mo Jinrong forced her to do things she didn’t like. It wasn’t until her death did she understand that she could only survive in this house if he was cruel and mean to her.
Before Lan Anran reached the entrance of the opera house, she could hear music and the laughter of a group of people from afar.
“Why isn’t Jinrong here yet?”
A woman’s charming voice sounded a little dissatisfied.
“Aren’t they here?”
Mo Jinrong pushed the door open coldly.
The audience was shocked… Mo Jinrong had really shown up!
It was the first time for most of the people here to attend the Mo Family’s banquet. In the past, they heard that Mo Jinrong didn’t like strangers and that there weren’t many banquets in the Mo Family. Today, when they heard that Mo Jinrong was coming, they gathered together to see what he looked like.
Rumor had it that Mo Jinrong was ugly, but they found out that the rumors weren’t credible. His appearance was too good!
Old Mrs. Mo was overjoyed and a happy smile appeared on her face.
“My eldest grandson, you’re finally here. Grandma misses you so much.”
Mo Jinrong sat beside Old Mrs. Mo while Lan Anran sat beside him.
The crowd was stunned again. They had heard that Mo Jinrong was ugly and would jinx his wife, so no one dared to marry him. It was a miracle that he brought a woman here today.
“Grandma, I was busy recently and didn’t come to visit you. I hope you don’t mind.”
Mo Jinrong’s tone softened, which was rare.
