Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 783: Old Master Mo’s Taboo

Chapter 785

“What are you talking about?” Granduncle tugged at his wife’s shirt. “It’s Eldest Brother’s birthday today. Why are you talking about Qingshen?”

At this reminder, Grandaunt realized that she had put her foot in her mouth and fell silent.

The name Mo Qingshen had almost been forgotten in this family.

Old Master Mo had two sons and only one daughter, who was the youngest among them.

She was pretty, intelligent and never failed to draw praises from the people around her.

At the time, families who hoped for her hand in marriage came to the Mo Family in droves.

From the aristocrats to the descendants of their peers, countless men fell in love with Mo Qingshen.

Old Master Mo was a reserved person, but his daughter was one of the very few trophies he flaunted.

Especially after Mo Qingshen qualified for entry into Harvard University overseas but had chosen to go to Xia Nation University instead, she became the great pride of Old Master Mo.

However more than twenty years ago, in order to marry Mu Che, Mo Qingshen severed ties with Old Master Mo. From then on, Mo Qingshen’s name was a taboo.

Later on, Mo Qingshen died giving birth to Mo Xichen. Old Master Mo was depressed and gloomy for a long time.

Although it wasn’t apparent to outsiders, Old Master Mo would often retreat to his room alone and stayed there for extended periods.

Every time he came out of the room, his eyes were bloodshot and he would look terribly spent.

Later on, Old Master Mo would fly into a rage whenever anyone mentioned Mo Qingshen. Not only did he flip the dining table, he also got himself so worked up that he ended up being hospitalized.

This became common knowledge, and gradually, Mo Qingshen was never mentioned.

For more than twenty years, no one had dared to speak her name.

At least, not in Old Master Mo’s presence.

To Old Master Mo, this was both painful and hurtful.

Sure enough, at this mention, Old Master Mo’s rare smile faded.

Grandaunt was all the more upset, being the one who made the slip, and didn’t know what to do to salvage the situation.

Mu Xichen said in a timely manner, “Grandaunt, you should be the one in charge of the details of the wedding. Grandpa doesn’t understand these things and will have to rely on you.”

Secretly relieved, the elderly woman said, “Of course, you are the first among all the grandchildren to take a wife. You’re in a position of advantage. Look at the others – still swinging singles and they get impatient when you remind them. This is so worrying!”

After that short distraction, no one brought up the topic again.

Alas, at this point, one of Mo Qingshen’s old friends turned up.

When Nico arrived, he was stopped by the security guard.

As his arrival was announced, Mu Xichen and Li Beinian were just discussing some details about the wedding.

Nico was wheeled in by Will.

The moment he entered, Nico smiled and said, “Chief Mo, it’s been too long!”

Old Master Mo’s expression did not change much when he saw Nico. He nodded and said, “Indeed, it’s been some time. What happened to your leg?”

“Oh.” Nico looked down at his wheelchair and said, “I got into a minor accident while driving around sightseeing. It’s much better now, so I came to see you. I heard that it’s your birthday today so I brought a fantastic present for my old friend and senior. I hope you like it.”

“Eh?” Mo Shengge looked surprised. “He speaks decent Chinese.”

Mo Shengge, who was sitting with Li Beinian and the rest, spoke rather loudly.

When Nico heard this, he immediately turned to look. Upon noticing Mu Xichen and Li Beinian, he paused for a moment. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, “Beinian, what a coincidence that you’re here too!”
