Chapter 438: Song Xin’s Meeting
Translator: Lonelytree
“Okay, let me go cook something.” Mo Li removed her shoes, changed her clothes, and headed straight for the kitchen. Mo Li’s grandparents didn’t keep leftovers so Mo Li had to cook from scratch.
Mo Li looked around and took out some fresh noodles from the fridge. She kneaded the noodles with Old Madam Mo last time. Then she cut some scallion and fried them in oil. It was a simple meal of noodles with fried scallions.
“Who is cooking so late at night? It’s making me hungry too. What are you two kids doing so late at night and not sleeping?” Old Madam Mo walked down the stairs and saw the lights in the kitchen. She was pleasantly surprised. She was happy that Mo Li was home.
“Grandma, I was hungry so I came down to look for food. Mo Li happened to come home so I asked her to cook some for me.” Mo Xiao stood up with a smile. He then stuck to Old Madam Mo like a koala bear. Mo Xiao was raised by his grandparents so he liked to stay with them. The man who was so cold and unapproachable was like a kitten when he was around his grandparents.
“Why are you acting like a child when you’re already so old? Plus you look quite pale, you should go rest.” Old Madam Mo touched Mo Xiao’s head and she said with concern. Of the 3 brothers, she cared about the middle child the most. After all, Mo Xiao was the one who spent the most time with them.
“Let’s eat first! Then he can go rest.” Mo Li walked over and put the bowls down. Just from the fragrance, Mo Xiao knew the noodles were going to be delicious.
“Wait, didn’t you go out today? When did you come home?” Old Madam Mo asked as she looked at Mo Xiao.
Mo Li furrowed her brows. What is wrong with Mo Xiao? He is still recovering but he has gone out already.
“I only came back a few hours ago.” Mo Xiao didn’t hide anything. He told them what happened. “Song Xin came to find me because she had something to give me. She even invited Tang Ze along.” Mo Xiao turned to Mo Li. Naturally, he knew about the feud between his sister and Song Xin. Song Xin probably wanted to get to Mo Li through him.
“So you went to meet her?” Mo Li frowned as if displeased.
Mo Xiao nodded. Even in his state, he had a majestic aura. When Song Xin saw him that afternoon, she was cowed in his presence too.
“She told me to give you this poster. She told me how Huan Yu has been bugging her to give you her poster.” Mo Xiao said as he dropped the small bag on the table.
Mo Li looked at Mo Xiao and she sensed that Mo Xiao must have been harsh on Song Xin that afternoon. “Well, why didn’t you bring it to the company, and bring it back home instead?”
Mo Xiao slowly lifted his eyes. His gaze was sharp as a knife as he looked at Mo Li. It was like he was trying to dissect her.
“Have you given this serious thought? You are going to stay with Huan Yu?”
Mo Li did not quite get what Mo Xiao was trying to imply. “2nd brother, what do you mean? I’m just staying temporarily with Huan Yu, there’s no telling what may happen in the future.”
It was impossible to tell the emotion in Mo Xiao’s eyes. Why is Mo Xiao bringing this up now? Is he angry with me? Then again, a normal person would be angry when he finds out his little sister has chosen to work for his opponent, instead of working for his company.
“Aren’t you going to consider working for my company? You do know that Song Xin has a big IP from Jing Nan, right? It will definitely be popular.” Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. Mo Li couldn’t read him, he couldn’t read Mo Li either.
Mo Xiao was the same as described in the original book. He was crafty and hard to deal with. Mo Li knew that if she rejected him, it would not be outside the realm of possibility for him to ban her from the entertainment circle. Otherwise, he would find ways to make life difficult for her. In any case, Mo Xiao would not give up just like that.
Therefore, Mo Li chose to go on the offensive. She asked, “So you mean I have a chance to take the role from her?”
Mo Xiao stopped talking. Mo Li sensed a silent rejection. Sensing the tension in the air, Old Madam Mo quickly cut in to negotiate, “Alright, let’s dig in before the noodles become lumpy.” Old Madam Mo had no idea what was happening but based on the two kids’ expressions, something was wrong so she decided to step in before the conflict escalated.
Mo Li and Mo Xiao nodded. And then they resumed the dinner as if nothing had happened.. It was hard for anyone to tell what was on their minds.
