Chapter 186 "Meeting the Parents"
Chapter 186 "Meeting the Parents"
study.
Sheng Yuan sat on the sofa, staring at Mo Bozhao, who had an angry look on his face, and couldn't help but sit up straight.
After all, to some extent, this is considered "meeting the parents".
Unlike any other time he visited the Mo family, Sheng Yuan was a little nervous.
Mo Bozhao folded his hands over his chest, frowned, stared at him without saying a word, and his aura was terrifying.
Mo Zheng, who was standing by, was just watching the fun at first. He was happy to see Sheng Yuan acting so serious and covered his mouth with his hands to laugh.
But Mo Bozhao remained silent, and the atmosphere grew increasingly depressing. Mo Zheng finally couldn't help himself and said jokingly, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you suddenly pretending to be unfamiliar? Hahahaha..."
His dry laugh made the atmosphere even more eerie.
In the end, I had no choice but to shut up, sit on the single sofa beside me, and watch silently.
"Sheng Yuan, I have no right or position to interfere in the affairs of your Sheng family, but once Xiaomo is involved... I must intervene!"
"Yes." Sheng Yuan lowered his head slightly, rarely shedding the murderous aura from his body, appearing somewhat gentle and well-behaved.
In his impression, Sheng Yuan has always been aloof and cold. Mo Bozhao is not used to Sheng Yuan like this and touched his nose awkwardly.
"At the Sheng family's dinner two days ago, you were seen together with Fang Yaqi. Why are you appearing as Xiaomo's boyfriend now?" Mo Bozhao asked coldly.
In this situation, how could he not suspect Sheng Yuan of being treacherous and having bad intentions?
"Dad, it's all strategy." Mo Zheng answered quickly, "Ayuan did this to protect Xiaomo."
"Hmm?" Mo Bozhao raised his eyebrows, stared at Sheng Yuan and asked, "What did he mean?"
Sheng Yuan glanced at Mo Zheng, signaling him to stop talking, and then gave a brief explanation.
After saying this, Sheng Yuan looked at Mo Bozhao with eyes full of sincerity.
He didn't know whether Mo Bozhao would believe what he said, but Sheng Yuan knew that in front of Mo Bozhao, sincerity was more effective than any pretense or glibness.
People who are used to playing both sides and false flattery in the business world are more likely to be moved by sincerity.
Mo Bozhao knew that Shengshi Group was competing for a project a while ago, and he was also aware that there was a group of people who were always using shady tactics in secret, and the most common method was to attack the close relatives of the competitors.
So after Sheng Yuan's explanation, Mo Bozhao touched his chin, thought for a while, accepted his explanation, and no longer doubted his motives.
After all, Mo Bozhao was young once and had experienced unforgettable love. Most importantly, since Sheng Yuan and Mo Zheng have been close since childhood, he has watched Sheng Yuan grow up and has an understanding of his character and talents.
He also understood the idea of sacrificing others to protect the one you love.
After all, Mo Zheng hadn't been hurt in his relationship, and he had also taken a tough approach towards that girl...
However, as a father, Mo Bozhao still has many worries about the relationship between Lin Mingmo and Sheng Yuan.
"A Yuan, Xiao Mo is a strong and resilient child, but she's also a sensitive and fragile girl," Mo Bozhao said earnestly. "Do you...really love her? You're not just casually chatting with her because she's pretty, are you?"
Mo Bozhao crossed his fingers and carefully observed the expression on Sheng Yuan's face.
After all, this is a very serious matter, and he will not miss any movement on Sheng Yuan's face.
Sheng Yuan met Mo Bozhao's gaze frankly and answered firmly, word for word: "I love her. As much as you do."
Seven words, powerful and resounding.
From the first moment he saw Lin Mingmo, the foundation was laid for him to fall in love with her.
In the past, Sheng Yuan didn’t really believe in love at first sight.
But on the night they first met, when Lin Mingmo entered his sight with moist eyes, a shy look, and a stubborn look, he had already fallen for her.
Sheng Yuan himself didn't know how this feeling was so deeply rooted in his heart.
His love for her was like snow. By the time he noticed it, the snow had already piled up very thickly.
Mo Bozhao didn't seem to expect Sheng Yuan to answer so straightforwardly. Judging from his expression, his attitude was very serious.
"Okay, I have another question." Mo Bozhao continued, "If Xiaomo wasn't my child, would you still love her as much as you do now?"
Sheng Yuan was suddenly startled, first raised his eyebrows, then shook his head calmly.
"You don't have to worry." Sheng Yuan said calmly, "When I fell in love with her, she wasn't some little daughter of the Mo family."
What he loved forever was the passionate soul beneath her worldly identity.
She is Lin Mingmo, she is just Lin Mingmo, and she will always be Lin Mingmo.
Obviously, Mo Bozhao could not find any fault with this answer.
Mo Zheng, who was watching the whole process from the side, couldn't help but speak well of Sheng Yuan, "Dad, you know what kind of person A Yuan is! When he's serious, he's absolutely serious! You don't have to worry about him being mean to Xiao Mo. At worst, he still has me as his brother!"
"If Sheng Yuan dares to let her down, I'll be the first to disagree!"
Although Mo Bozhao also thought that what Mo Zheng said was right, he still felt very unhappy that he had to accept that his daughter had another important man in her heart before he and Lin Mingmo had recognized each other and had yet to fully experience the warmth of father and daughter.
"It's none of your business!" Mo Bozhao said impatiently.
Mo Zheng pursed his lips, snorted, leaned back on the sofa, and turned his head to look out the window.
Irritated! Really irritated! Mo Bozhao changed his posture again, picked up a pen, and scribbled unconsciously on a piece of paper.
Mo Bozhao felt annoyed when he thought of the happy expression that Lin Mingmo unconsciously revealed when she was with Sheng Yuan.
He could have been a feudal patriarch and tried to separate the couple, but he knew that doing so might not necessarily destroy their relationship, but the father-daughter relationship between him and Lin Mingmo would definitely be greatly reduced.
Sheng Yuan had been paying attention to Mo Bozhao's emotions and could see the struggle in his heart.
They are indeed father and daughter, even their expressions when they are entangled are somewhat similar.
"Mr. Mo, you loved Momo's mother... and after she left, you never fell in love with anyone else in all these years." Sheng Yuan half-closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I understand your feelings. And... I feel the same way about Momo."
Sheng Yuan didn't know how to prove his love, so he could only use this method to resonate with Mo Bozhao.
Sure enough, Mo Bozhao's eyes suddenly became blurred and his expression changed, as if
Lost in some memories.
After a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense body. "A Yuan, what can I do for you?"
The topic changed so quickly that Sheng Yuan didn't react for a moment.
"Old Sheng suddenly fell ill, and Shengshi Group is leaderless. Sheng Yang is a stubborn person and can't handle a big event. Sheng Huaiyu and Sheng Ye do have some abilities, but... you are not willing to let them take advantage of the opportunity to take over."
After hearing Mo Bozhao's clear analysis of the Sheng family's situation, Sheng Yuan didn't know how to react for a moment.
She just lowered her head, gently twisting her fingers, and silently waited for Mo Bozhao's next words.
"As an outsider, I have no right to comment on your Sheng family's affairs. But since Xiaomo likes you so much, your kindness will also be good for her..."
Mo Bozhao said this, stood up and walked to Sheng Yuan.
Seeing this, Sheng Yuan immediately stood up.
"Mr. Mo."
Mo Bozhao raised his hand and placed it on Sheng Yuan's shoulder. With a deep gaze, he said in a resounding voice, "If you need it, I can help you."
"what?"
Before Sheng Yuan could react, Mo Zheng jumped up from his chair in surprise.
"Dad, have you had this idea for a long time?" Mo Zheng asked immediately.
Mo Bozhao laughed, looked at him and did not answer.
Mo Zheng became even more certain of his guess.
In recent years, although the Mo family and the Sheng family still have a close relationship, some minor frictions and conflicts still exist, but the two families have smoothed them out with their friendship.
Mo Bozhao has always been concerned about the dynamics of the Sheng family. After all, Sheng Changhong will retire one day, and Sheng Yang is a hopeless case... As for Sheng Huaiyu and his gang, they have always had a lukewarm attitude towards the Mo Group, as if they regard the Mo Group as a leech sucking blood from the Shengshi Group.
For the future of the Mo family, the selection of the head of Shengshi Group is crucial.
Looking at the Sheng family's top competitors, only Sheng Yuan, who knows Mo Zheng well and is a close friend, is worthy of support.
What's more, he is the person Lin Mingmo likes.
