Mo Ling suppressed her murderous intent when she saw the shock in the old man's eyes.
"Sorry.." she said awkwardly. She didn't mean to scare this old man. She just couldn't control her feelings at the moment.
Old Master Bi recovered his senses when he heard her saying sorry.
"Are you going to leave?" After some time he addressed the main problem.
He doesn't want her to leave them. He wanted her to stay even as a boy. That's a little selfish of him to think like that. But he just wants to protect her.
Mo Ling looked at the nervous old man before her and modified her words.
"Not immediately."
He's still disappointed to hear that. No! He definitely has to think of some ways to make her stay.
'Yes, emotional card.'
His eyes lit up but he quickly concealed them and looked at Mo Ling with sad eyes.
"Xiao Ling.. Although this old man rescued you to fulfill my promise, I grew fond of you after taking care of you all these years. I don't want to see you in danger. Can you stay?"
He asked very pitifully, which caused Mo Ling to be quite helpless. She has her own duties to attend to. But the old man before her is pulling an emotional card on her.
'knock.. knock..'
Housekeeper Wen knocked on the study door at this time and Mo Ling heaved a sigh of relief.
"Old Master, Lunch is ready."
"We should go. You need to eat your food in time." With that, Mo Ling stood up and opened the study door.
When Old Master came outside, he glared fiercely at Housekeeper Wen and strode to the dining hall.
'what did I do?' Housekeeper Wen stood rooted to the ground when he saw the Old Master's glare.
'This stupid Old Wen disturbed at the worst time. I could've persuaded Xiao Ling to stay if not for this old fool. Now my emotional card won't work anymore.'
Old Master was filled with regret for missing the right time.
When the descended the stairs he caught sight of his grandson sipping his tea while deep in thought.
A sudden idea came to his mind and the look in his eyes turned cunning when he looked at his grandson.
Bi Yuhan sensed a pair of eyes staring at him and he looked up in time to see the cunningness flash in his grandfather's eyes.
He didn't know why but a bad premonition rose in his heart when he saw that.
When Mo Ling and Old Master Bi came to the living room they heard footsteps coming from the entrance and turned to see the ladies who entered with shopping bags.
"Yuhan, Xiao Ling you're here."
"I went out with Little Xi to buy you some important items that were needed for the adoption ceremony. If I knew that you were coming I should've stayed at home and rescheduled my plans."
He Jiangyu strolled into the living room while saying that with a few bags in her hand.
While Bi Ruixi had a very ugly expression when she saw Mo Ling and Grandpa Bi together.
Whenever this leech appears before grandpa he steals her position as a pampered child in the family.
She doesn't understand why grandpa always chooses to pamper this brat who isn't the blood of Bi family.
Is he really the illegitimate son of her father? No.. no.. her mother is sure that that isn't the case. And she believes that her mother won't lie to her regarding this. Then why?
She hated this boy to the core!!
While Bi Ruixi is hating her existence, Mo Ling saw the person who started the beginning of her tragedy. And also the Mastermind behind her kidnapping and the cause of Old Master Bi's death.
Hostility overflowed from her eyes and she almost lost control of her rationality.
