Chapter 163: Cousin and Cousin
Usually, such characters are referred to as the guardians of the family! They are not given opportunities to touch the core of power, but the family spares no expense in cultivating their martial arts skills!
In other words, these individuals are the future champions of the family! Candidates for leading the charge in battle; future candidates for elder positions!
If Mo Chengyu cannot remember or recognize such an important figure... that would truly become a joke.
The five people who were busy working suddenly felt something strange behind them. They turned around and saw a middle-aged man with his mouth agape, looking utterly shocked. This Lord Throne of the Mo Family, how could he be here?
"You (you) how can you be here?" The six of them spoke in unison, then all fell silent, exchanging confused glances, completely baffled.
"They are the ones I took in. At the time, seeing them, an old man and a little girl, homeless, I brought them here." Chu Yang stepped out of the room, holding Mo Qingwu in one arm.
"Homeless?" Ji Mo and the others clearly heard the sound of their jaws dropping; the Lord Throne of the Mo Family, homeless?
Especially Rocky Luo, who looked at Mo Chengyu with eyes that carried a hint of hostility. The Luo Family and the Mo Family have never been on good terms. Although they have never openly confronted each other, subtle frictions have been continuous.
This is because these two major families are just too close to each other...
Within a radius of five hundred miles, there are actually two major families. This feels like a thorn in the throat for both the Luo and Mo families; they feel the urge to spit it out but can’t. Yet neither side can do anything to the other in terms of strength...
At this moment, Mo Qingwu wriggled out of Chu Yang's arms and cheerfully called out, "Brother Ji Mo..."
Ji Mo was taken aback, rubbing his eyes in disbelief, "Xiao Wu? How can you be here?"
Mo Qingwu giggled and ran over. Ji Mo picked her up in a joyful display of affection. Just as he was about to ask Xiao Wu something, a sharp gaze suddenly pierced into his back; it felt like a thorn in his back!
Immediately after, Chu Yang rushed over, snatched Mo Qingwu from Ji Mo's arms, and said with a noticeably unfriendly tone, "Do you know each other?"
Ji Mo was furious! After a long separation, he was suddenly interrupted? Staring wide-eyed, he said, "My mom is her real aunt, do you think we know each other or not?"
"Oh, I see." Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it’s nothing." He scratched his head, awkwardly grinning as he set Mo Qingwu down.
However, he felt a bit puzzled: It was mentioned earlier that Ji Mo was a illegitimate child; but Mo Qingwu’s aunt could be considered a prominent lady, the sister of the patriarch of the Mo Family. How did she end up being just the small wife of the head of the Ji Family?
This seemed quite unbelievable. Was there some hidden story behind it? Chu Yang pondered silently.
At this point, Mo Chengyu began to slowly explain why he was here.
After listening, Ji Mo couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. He walked in front of Chu Yang, bowed deeply, and sincerely said, "Boss, thank you for saving my cousin!"
"It’s no problem, ha ha ha..." Chu Yang was in a cheerful mood.
"You call him what? Boss? He’s your boss?" Mo Chengyu's eyes suddenly bulged like those of an ox, pointing at Chu Yang in disbelief.
"Yes, he’s my boss! What’s wrong with that?" Ji Mo rolled his eyes, with an unwilling tone, feeling like he wanted to cry but couldn’t: "Old Mo, don’t ask anymore. I’m in deep with this young master!"
"You guys here... just doing this?" Mo Chengyu still looked a bit dazed.
Ji Mo sighed, recalling his past experiences, rolling his eyes as he thought, it’s more than just this. If things go wrong, I might even have to wash stinky socks... But some things are better kept hidden for now; it’s too embarrassing.
"Good, very good!" Suddenly, Mo Chengyu laughed heartily, pointing at Rocky Luo and saying to Chu Yang, "Kid, give that guy a good workout, I'll bear the consequences!"
