Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 185 Rescue! Redundant!

"Really?!" Grandpa held my face with both hands happily, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

I nodded. "Rongyue gave you this birthday gift. Do you like it, Grandpa?"

"I like it! I like it! I like it so much!"

"How long has it been? Why didn't you tell me earlier? You're still wearing high heels... Are you uncomfortable..."

I patted my grandfather's hand and said, "Grandpa, it's okay! Don't worry! Everything is fine!"

"What were you talking about with grandpa?" Mo Chen leaned over and looked at me.

Mo Chen sat next to Grandpa, but the seat was too spacious and the banquet hall was noisy. I even went to the other side of Grandpa to talk. Mo Chen couldn't hear what I said to Grandpa.

"This kid doesn't know yet?" Grandpa looked at me with a frown.

I nodded and said, "You are the first person to know. Please keep it a secret for Rongyue first. Ask him to entertain the guests well tonight. I will go back and talk to him."

"Okay! Then you follow grandpa tonight and don't run around!" Grandpa held me tightly.

"Okay! Listen to Grandpa tonight!"

I returned to my seat and sat down.

"What did you say to grandpa? Why is he suddenly so happy?" Mo Chen held my hand.

"Tsk... It's not that hard to make grandpa happy. When has grandpa ever seen me unhappy?" I looked at Mo Chen with a smile.

Mo Chen frowned and smiled. Although he was confused, there were already guests coming to toast him. Mo Chen followed his grandfather to greet the guests who came to toast him.

Grandpa was in high spirits and drank a few cups. Fortunately, the housekeeper and Mo Chen stopped him.

From time to time, my grandfather would look at me to make sure that I was still sitting quietly before he would continue to chat with people.

I have had no appetite since I became pregnant and don't want to eat. The people in this kind of occasion are all of high status, and none of them are known to me, so sitting there and staring blankly is the safest thing to do.

"Sister Rongyue."

I turned around and looked at Li Yuyan who was standing next to me.

"Yuyan." I looked at her with a smile.

"It's so boring here, let's go for a walk in the garden." Yuyan looked at me with a smile. There was a bit of Li Xin's look in her smile, very friendly.

I stood up, walked to my grandfather and greeted him. My grandfather gave me some instructions.

Then I took Yuyan’s hand and walked out of the banquet hall.

This manor is very large. Not far from the banquet hall is the garden surrounding the entire banquet hall.

It was already evening, but there were still several kinds of flowers blooming brilliantly.

Yuyan and I found a secluded place to sit down.

Yuyan was facing the garden, looking at the flowers in the garden seriously, pinching them with her hands from time to time. I looked at her, a girl of her prime years, youthful and beautiful.

We just stayed there quietly, she looked at the flowers and I looked at her.

"The people who come tonight are rarely seen on normal days. Can you please stop arguing here?" It was the deep voice of a middle-aged man. It was quite far away from us, but I heard it clearly.

Yuyan and I looked at each other, and it seemed that Yuyan had heard it, too. We both tacitly agreed to keep quiet.

"You don't care about your daughter at all, do you?"

I was surprised. It was Qin Yuejun's voice, a little annoyed.

"It's my own business, so don't worry about it! Dad is right. If you don't try to build relationships with the people who came here today, you'll never see them again in your lifetime. Go and do your thing."

Xia Xiluo's tone was cold.

"What are you talking about! We are doing this for ourselves! Isn't it to find you a good marriage? I asked you to abort the child for your own good! You are an unmarried woman with an unclear child! Your life is over! Why are you so confused?" Qin Yuejun lowered her voice but the anger in her tone did not diminish at all.

"Your mother is right. What do you want this child for? If you want a child, you can marry any of the young masters who came here today. You can have a child if you want. Just listen to your mother."

"Heh, do you really care about me or the future of the Xia family? Now that I have this child, I can't marry into the family you favored. I'm sorry for delaying you."

"You!" Qin Yuejun was furious.

"Isn't the Xia family your home? Why don't you take advantage of the Xia family's good fortune? You're so old and still don't understand these things?" Xia Xiluo's father was also annoyed.

"Isn't that how you two are together? Is the Xia family really fine? Aside from attending banquets like this, you two have always lived your own lives. Why do you feel so comfortable living like this? Do you want me to be like you now?"

"How much effort have we put into you? You were able to grow up with Mo Chen and Li Xin, an opportunity that others would never be able to obtain. You could have grabbed either of these two people, but you ended up like this today! You have the nerve to blame us for your own failure!"

"Xi Luo, your father is right. You said you and them have never been apart since you were young, so how could a woman of unknown origin snatch him away! I think Mo Chen has been fascinated by that woman, but Li Xin is still single! Li Xin is also very good-looking and has a good family. Look at the people in this venue. All those who come with riches have contacted Li Xin's parents. Your grandmother is right. You and Li Xin have an emotional foundation. If you don't seize the opportunity, everything will be over!"

"Hmph!" Yuyan kicked the pillar in front of her with an annoyed look on her face.

I stroked Yuyan gently.

Yuyan turned around and sat next to me, continuing to listen without saying a word.

"A woman of unknown origin? Didn't you see how much Old Jiang likes that woman? He has been holding her and never letting her go since he saw her. Even if she is of unknown origin, she can deal with Grandpa Mo Chen and get the help of Old Jiang. She will be very successful in her life! She is very capable! Unlike her, she has been with two men for almost 30 years and didn't catch either of them! If the child in your belly was born to any of them, you would have been very successful in your life! Including the Xia family! But you are pregnant with a bastard of unknown origin! Go and kill him quietly tomorrow! Don't get in my way! Don't wait until he comes out before I throw you out of the Xia family! Humph!"

Xia Xiluo's father said this angrily.

"I don't have time to waste here with you, I'm going in!"

"Xiluo, listen to your mother. Love... is something illusory. You should live your life realistically. Stop being obsessed with Mo Chen. Think about Li Xin again. I saw that Li Xin didn't react to what your grandmother said today. As long as he doesn't refuse, it's not difficult for a woman to pursue a man..."

Yuyan smiled disdainfully.

I stroked Yuyan's back to help her relax.

"If you don't want to listen, let's go in..." I whispered, looking at Yuyan.

"No! I want to hear how they want to humiliate my brother! My brother didn't respond today because he didn't want to embarrass Sister Xiluo. My brother is so good to Sister Xiluo, but their family is so good!"

"Don't worry, your brother is an adult now. He is not a person without his own opinions. He also has a smart sister like you to protect him! No one can do anything to him."

"A man as gentle and wise as him will definitely find you a very good sister-in-law."

"Really?" Yuyan looked up at me. "I'm afraid my brother will get hurt. There are too few sincere people around us, and too many people weighing the pros and cons. Just like she said, what if a woman approaches him intentionally...what should I do then?"

I looked at Yuyan and couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Yuyan looked at me.

"You understand these things at such a young age, how could your brother not understand? Then his 30 years of growth would have been in vain! He is even worse than a little girl who is inexperienced in the world." I smiled and hooked Yuyan's nose.

"You've grown up so big, have you ever seen your brother being cheated by a woman?"

"Not really!" Yuyan's expression returned to a smile.

"Besides, your brother is not alone. He has your brother Mo Chen by his side! What kind of woman can deceive them when they are together?"

After Yuyan listened to what I said, we both laughed.

"Aren't you angry when they say that about you?" Yuyan looked at me.

"People have different feelings and perspectives, so how can we understand each other? Besides, why should I ask others to understand me? I don't live by their words."

Yuyan looked at me seriously, then nodded and smiled.

"Whose family is he from? I've never seen him before. I asked around today but no one knows."

"I really can't find out, but have you seen how she's dressed? That outfit has a great history. My mother said that she saw that cheongsam once, and all the famous daughters in the capital had asked for it, but Mr. Jiang didn't give it to anyone. And it's on her today! My mother was shocked! How can you say that someone likes her so much? "

"Mr. Jiang is well-known for being aloof and not wanting to see people, but today he kept pulling her along. Who has ever seen such a kind look?"

In the distance, two young women were walking and chatting leisurely.

Yuyan looked at me helplessly and said, "This kind of place is full of gossips!"

"How about we find another quiet place? It should be fun deep in the garden." I looked at Yuyan.

Yuyan nodded with a little excitement.

We were just about to get up.

"Hey? Xiluo! Why are you here?"

Yuyan and I looked at the person who was speaking.

The two women met Xia Xiluo who was walking back from the small path.

Xia Xiluo just smiled.

"It's rare to see you alone. In the past, you would never leave Gong Yi Mo Chen even for a step!"

"Yeah, aren't Gong Yi Mo Chen and Li Xin, two top-notch men, only with you? Why are they gone now?"

Xia Xiluo looked coldly at the two people who were still chatting and laughing in front of him.

"We just feel sorry for you. We all thought you and Gong Yi Mo Chen would be together! Aren't you two very sweet? Gong Yi Mo Chen has been with you for so many years, and suddenly you changed to someone else! Who is that woman? How did she snatch her away from you? She's really amazing! What's her background?"

Xia Xiluo was silent.

"You're just going to endure this? If I couldn't swallow this, I would have almost married into the Gong Yi family! What does that mean! Look at the people who came to celebrate your birthday today, there are three generations of noble families!"

"Are you guys done? I still have something else to do..."

"Hey, what can you do in this situation today? You were busy before, but now Gong Yi's family has a mistress, what are you still busy with?"

"Yuyan, wait for me here." I patted Yuyan and walked towards the three people.

"Xiluo, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time..." I stood in the corridor and watched the three people talking.

The two women looked at me and I smiled and nodded at them.

"I'm really sorry, both of you. I need Xiluo's help. I'm too busy and it would be bad if I neglected our guests." My eyes fell back on Xia Xiluo.

"Then let's go!" The two of them looked at me and smiled, then walked into the garden together along the path.

Xia Xiluo walked up to me and said, "What are you doing? Do you think I will be grateful to you if you do this?"

"No, that's not what I meant." I turned around and tried to leave.

"Without you, I wouldn't be in this situation today! You're the reason why I'm in this situation now! Are you satisfied? And you're pretending to help me out? Are you showing off?"

I stopped and turned around to look at Xia Xiluo. "What should I be satisfied with? I have never cared about you. What does your good or bad have to do with me?"

Xia Xiluo looked at me.

I am helpless.

"Xia Xiluo, you think I stole it from you, but have you ever thought that you never had it?"

"I can understand your sadness and loss, but most of the disappointment is because you overestimate yourself and underestimate the selfishness of human nature. Don't you understand? You can't keep someone who wants to leave, you can't wake up someone who pretends to be asleep, you can't move someone who doesn't love you. Love is not something that can be obtained by means or perseverance."

"Love cannot be replaced by humility and tears. Life is so long, and you will meet many people. Be good to yourself."

I wanted to leave, but Xia Xiluo pulled me back.

"Now that Mo Chen is yours, you can talk without any worries. I want to see what you will do if Mo Chen leaves you one day! Do you really think you have won? Life is long, and no one can predict what will happen. The hypocritical tricks you use on men only make me feel dirty and disgusting when you use them on me."

I pushed Xia Xiluo's hand away.

"Xia Xiluo, I helped you out not because I felt I owed you anything. You targeted me everywhere, and your mother also came to me, which really caused me a lot of trouble. So it's really hard for me to like you."

"But I care about Mo Chen and Li Xin, because they really treat you as a good friend and really want the best for you. If they were here just now, they would definitely not tolerate others bullying you like this."

"I would also like to remind you not to use any tricks on them. It's not that they can't see through your tricks, but they don't want to expose you. If you waste their friendship like this, it will not be worth it in the end."

"Also, I want to talk to you nicely, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to talk to! I have a good temper, but don't lose your temper with me. I won't spoil you."

After saying that, I turned and walked towards Yuyan.

"If you could just disappear... everything would be different."

Xia Xiluo's low and gloomy voice came from behind me.

“It’s unreasonable!”

I was so angry with myself, why did I pay attention to her just now!

How redundant!
