Chapter 554: Not Able To Make The Trip

Li Beinian hesitated.

Seeing how things were, Mu Xichen gently wiped her tears and said, “Let’s go home first.”

Li Beinian was not in the right state of mind.

Meeting Grandpa under the situation was not a good choice.

After comforting her, he picked up his cell phone and called the Mo Family Mansion.

Li Beinian glanced at it. It was a landline.

The phone rang twice on the other end and the call was quickly picked up. A middle-aged woman’s voice was heard, “Young Master, are you here?”

Mu Xichen seemed to ponder for a moment before he said, “Aunt Tao, I have something to attend to today. Please tell my grandpa that we will visit another time.”

“Errr…” Aunt Tao seemed a little troubled.” What’s the matter? The whole family is waiting for you to come back for dinner. You…”

“Something happened at work and I have to deal with it.” Mu Xichen held Li Beinian’s hand and lied without changing his expression. “Please help me convey the message.”

“What’s so important?” A man’s voice took over. “Xichen, you haven’t been back for a long time. This time, Big Brother had specially applied for leave from the team just to see Sister-in-law. If you’re not coming, then everyone would have waited in vain.”

Li Beinian felt guilty and started, “I think…”

Mu Xichen covered her mouth and called out, “Second Brother.”

Mo Shengxiao snorted. “You have the audacity. The whole family is waiting for you.Tell me – is the company more important than your family?”

“Is it Brother Xichen?” A female voice interrupted. “Need you even ask? How would Brother Xichen choose work over family?”

Obviously he wouldn’t.

Li Beinian pushed his hand away and was about to speak when Mu Xichen stopped her again.

He said, “It’s different this time. I can’t talk now, I’m busy. I have to go.”

Mo Shengxiao was stunned for a moment before turning around in a daze. He looked at the family members gathered there and said, “He hung up? This kid actually hung up on me? Wow!”

Tossing the apple in her hand, Mo Shengge exclaimed in surprise, “He’s really not coming back?”

Mo Shengxing, who was reading a military report submission, was shocked too, when he heard this. “What’s so important? How dare he stand us up?”

“Something happened at work?” Mo Shengxiao thought about the possibilities as he stroked his chin. “Why do I find that hard to believe? Ah Ye is still in the office. Besides, today is such an important day…”

As he spoke, there was the sound of a cane thumping against the ground.

The young men stood up. They were all handsome and tall.

“Grandfather!”

They shouted in unison, their voices rich with the vigor of a long lineage of a prestigious family.

Old Master Mo raised his chin slightly and swept his gaze around the room with an air of authority.

Mo Shengxiao saluted and said in a loud and crisp voice, “Reporting, something came up for Comrade Mo Xichen and he’s not able to make the trip!”

“I heard it.” Old Mr. Mo walked slowly with his cane. Although his voice was cracking with age, it was nevertheless dignified. “I’m afraid it’s not the company.”

The others thought so too.

Swinging her hand that was holding the apple, Mo Shengge said, “Brother Xichen won’t lie. There must be some issues at work.”

“Comrade Mo Shengge, don’t trust him too much.” Mo Shengxing could no longer keep silent. “I reckon that the girl is unwilling to come.”

“How could that be.” Mo Shengxiao scratched her face. “Xichen was quite happily talking about it just a couple of days ago. How could this…”
