Chapter 66: Give Mo Li to Me

“Shut up!” Elder Mo warned Xu Yan. Elder Mo was not expecting Quan Yu to come knocking on his door. Elder Mo noticed Quan Yu’s eyes kept wandering towards Mo Li, so he believed there should be some kind of connection between the two.

Mo Yu was shocked, he assumed the person at the door would be Father Lin but instead the new arrival was someone even more powerful!

Elder Mo sighed, “Young Master Quan, what brings you to my humble abode today?”

Quan Yu shook his head. Even though his attitude was still quite arrogant, Elder Mo was surprised that he didn’t seem to carry any hostility. “Ha ha, I just wanted to see the person whom my eldest grandfather and second grandmother thought about the most in person.”

When Xiao Yuan heard that, his expression was confused. He didn’t there was such a layer of relationship between Quan Familyand Mo Family.

Elder Mo’s face though turned up with embarrassment. He glanced at his wife and then after some hesitation, he said in apology, “It was my fault… for disappointing them.”

Quan Yu answered lightly, “You did nothing wrong. If you decided to abandon your wife at home because of the admiration of the Young Miss from Quan Family, then I would have described your personality as despicable.

“But no matter what, this is not something that a junior like myself can comment on.”

At that moment, Mo Li placed her chopsticks down. “Then why did you come here today?” Quan Yu instantly turned to her with interest.

“Mo Li, don’t be rude!” Elder Mo scolded Mo Li in a stern voice, this happened once in a blue home. After all, the reason the Mo Family could reach the heights they enjoyed today had a lot to do with Quan Family.

Mo Li narrowed her eyes at Quan Yu. She knew the man was up to no good.

Xu Yan was elated. She did not expect the mysterious young man from the Quan Family would be their visitor. The wretched girl must have offended him in some way. After they had dispensed with Mo Li, Xu Yan needed to talk further with this Quan Yu about his son, Mo Yu. Perhaps he would see a bright future in her son and decide to bring him to the capital to join the Quan Family.

If that happened, Mo Yu and thus by extension her position within the Mo Family would instantly rise to the sky. They would have to treat Mo Yu like the emperor and her like the Dowager Empress.

Then to everyone’s surprise, Quan Yu suddenly bowed at Elder Mo while seated. “This bow is a sign of respect for the integrity shown by Elder Mo back then. As a junior, you have my admiration.”

Back then, Elder Mo came from a small family. He worked for Quan Family for years and didn’t bear any ill intentions. His feelings for Quan Family were sincere, that was something Quan Yu respected deeply.

Elder Mo was startled, small traces of guilt still hung on his face. “That… that was from so many years ago, it is all in the past now.”

Quan Yu waved his hands, indicating that Elder Mo didn’t need to keep on elaborating, he understood. Quan Yu acted like the master of the house, Elder Mo didn’t find any issues with it but Mo Li and Mo Yu were heavily offended.

“What kind of attitude is this? My Grandpa is at least several decades older than you, who gave you the right to lecture him? And how could you be seated when he is standing?!” Mo Yu blurted in his anger. What is wrong with the Young Master Quan. He acts like Grandpa is someone he can order around as he pleases. Gosh, I want to punch him in the face!

Mo Li took several deep breaths. Due to his unique background, Quan Yu has every right to do this but this is my Grandpa. He shouldn’t have done this! Mo Li was startled by this sudden thought that entered her mind. Even more shocking was the heartache that accompanied it. Since when did… I start… to see them as family?

Sensing the displeased gaze at him, Quan Yu turned to Mo Li as well. Mo Li’s usual detachment and indifference were gone. Instead there was a more human element to her. It was charming in its own way, like a goddess fallen from heaven, fragile yet still quite imposing.

Quan Yu steadied himself and added, “I apologize, that was indeed inappropriate of me.” He invited Elder Mo to sit and stated his intention.

“Today, I came for 3 reasons. First, as a junior from Quan Family, it is only reasonable for me to come pay a visit to an old family friend. I’ve already done that.

“Secondly, I’m here for my second grandmother, she wanted to say sorry to you. You wrote her a farewell letter to her by hand so many years ago. Honestly, she hated you for a while but after so many years, she has let go of those feelings. She hoped that you too will be able to do the same.

“And thirdly,” Quan Yu began as he turned to look at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan instantly got her hopes up.
