President Wife is Pretty and Cool

Chapter 122: Acknowledging One’s Roots and Ancestors

Xu Pei walked over with several middle-aged women, smiling.

“Mom, these are all members of the Mo Family’s branch relatives, they are here to celebrate your 80th birthday.”

A middle-aged woman with a face full of hyaluronic acid walked towards Old Mrs. Mo with a stiff expression and smiled.

“Old Mrs. Mo, long time no see. How is your health?”

Old Mrs. Mo looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of her and asked in surprise, “You are… Xu Pei, don’t find these unrelated people to coax me, I don’t know them.”

Xu Pei smiled and said, “Mom, how would I dare to coax you? Let me introduce you, these are all members of the Mo Family branch relatives. Perhaps it has been a long time since you’ve last met, but they are all Jinrong’s cousins.”

Old Mrs. Mo was a little unhappy. Did Xu Pei take bribes from them? They weren’t familiar with these distant relatives anymore and they only had the Mo Family name.

“Old Mrs. Mo, you’re from a rich family. You may not remember us, but it’s good that we remember you. We’re here today to ask you for a favor.” The oldest amongst them, Hong Yu, stood up and smiled.

“Favor?”

Old Mrs. Mo glanced at Hong Yu. This woman had heavy makeup and the inferior perfume she wore was pungent. She wasn’t a good person at first glance.

“Yes, the Mo Family Corporation is a big business and my good-for-nothing son is 30 years old. He doesn’t have a wife and doesn’t have a proper job. Will Old Mrs. Mo be able to help him?”

Lan Anran eyed the people in front of her. They were probably here to get in through connections with Old Mrs. Mo.

“Jinrong is usually in charge of the company’s matters, so an old lady like me wouldn’t care. Jinrong has something to do and the company is too busy so he didn’t come. I can’t control this matter.” Old Mrs. Mo politely declined.

“Old Mrs. Mo, Jinrong is your grandson and we watched him grow up. Would he dare to disobey you?” Hong Yu smiled.

“That’s not necessary, I’ll talk to Jinrong.”

Old Mrs. Mo found it noisy and stood up to pull Lan Anran away.

Xu Pei pretended to only just notice Lan Anran.

“Mom, Anran is really beautiful today.”

The people behind looked at Lan Anran with jealousy in their eyes. Hong Yu curled her lips and said, “Miss, may I know which family you’re from? You’re very pretty, but you don’t have any manners. Why didn’t you greet your elders?”

“I’m sorry, Madam, I don’t know your name or where you’re from. If even Grandma doesn’t know your name, how would I know? Aren’t you being too deliberate?” Lan Anran smiled and said calmly.

“You…”

“My granddaughter-in-law is right. I don’t even know which family you are from, so how would she know since she’s new? Some people are old enough, and yet they are jealous of a junior. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Old Mrs. Mo suppressed Hong Yu’s arrogance.

Hong Yu was stunned. She had never heard of Mo Jinrong getting married. How did he suddenly have a wife?

Lan Anran followed Old Mrs. Mo to the highest seat in the banquet hall. Old Mrs. Mo didn’t like such occasions. Firstly, there were too many people and secondly, some people had ulterior motives, always wanting to murder her granddaughter-in-law.

“Grandma, it’s your birthday, it’s not good for us to sit here, right?”

Lan Anran carried the train of her long dress.

“What’s wrong with that? I hate such occasions. It’s noisy and the party has just started. Let’s go downstairs when it’s time to cut the cake,” Old Mrs. Mo smiled and said.

At this moment, Xu Pei was furious because she was rebuffed by Old Mrs. Mo.

“Old thing! You embarrassed me in front of so many people, just you wait!” Xu Pei cursed.

Just then, Mo Changwen’s call came through.

“Hello, how are things? Are those old women working?”

“No, Old Mrs. Mo is impervious to everything and even made me upset.” Xu Pei complained.

“Damn it! Why is Mom so stubborn? I’ll be right there.”

Mo Changwen hung up the phone.

He originally wanted Xu Pei to use a few women to attract Old Mrs. Mo’s attention, but didn’t expect her to not be fooled. He could only do it himself.

Old Mrs. Mo and Lan Anran were chatting in the private room upstairs. Just then, Lan Anran received a text from Fatty, saying that he had found a clue about Xiang Tian, and it was inside the banquet hall.

Lan Anran pretended to be calm, listening to Old Mrs. Mo talk about Mo Jinrong’s interesting childhood.

“Grandma, I didn’t expect Jinrong to be so cute and interesting when he was young.”

Lan Anran smiled. In her past life, she never cared about Mo Jinrong, so these things were new to her.

“Of course, if you still want to know, Grandma has more to share with you.”

Old Mrs. Mo smiled. When it was about time, she looked downstairs.

“It’s about time. The banquet meal can start now, let’s go down together.”

Lan Anran nodded, carrying her long dress in one hand and supporting Old Mrs. Mo with the other.

At this moment, Mo Changwen suddenly appeared in front of Old Mrs. Mo and Lan Anran.

“Mom, I have something to tell you.”

Mo Changwen pulled Old Mrs. Mo.

Lan Anran said, “Grandma, Uncle, I’m going to the washroom.”

Old Mrs. Mo nodded.
