Chapter 7: The Truth Behind It
Mo Beichen returned to the room and sat for a while, and heard the sound of the car starting outside the window and the farewell of Sister-in-law Qing.
That man should be gone! Mo Beichen couldn't help but stand up.
Today, she still has something to make sure - a phone call home. Hyun Joon-ho is so unkind to himself, but his mother says that she has a good relationship with her. At yesterday's engagement banquet, her father's sudden absence and her mother's evasive eyes made her suspicious.
I picked up my phone and dialed the number at home.
"Toot-toot-" The long wait was followed by a mechanical female voice: "Your number is not answered for the time being." β
It's the weekend, my father's factory isn't too busy, and my mother doesn't have a formal job. Where would they go early in the morning?
I hit another one, but it still doesn't work. No, just go back and have a look!
Mo Beichen stuffed his mobile phone into his bag, picked up his handbag and hurriedly walked downstairs.
The sound alarmed Sister-in-law Qing.
"Young grandma, where are you going?"
"Go home. Soon, Mo Beichen had already walked to the gate and changed his shoes by the door.
"Yikes... Didn't you say you weren't feeling well just now, how could you still run outside?" Sister-in-law Qing raised her voice worriedly.
"It's okay, I'm fine now. Mo Beichen replied simply, without even raising his head.
"But... Would you like to give the young master a call?"
"Don't worry, I'll get home before he gets off work. Mo Beichen turned his head and glanced at Sister-in-law Qing, and said firmly.
"This ......"
"Alright, I'm leaving. Can't wait for Sister-in-law Qing to change her mind, Mo Beichen has already left his voice behind the red wooden gate.
After getting into the car bound for Beicheng, she thought a lot about it along the way: If it was really as Yi Zetian said, her mother was greedy for vanity and sold herself to Hyun Junhao, a rich young master she didn't know, what would she do? Will she regret her marriage and run away? Where can she escape? Her memories are gone, her relatives are gone, and her friends are gone. Aren't the only people she can rely on now to rely on her parents? Is she going back now to find an answer? What about when she gets the answer?
Sheβwhat is she going to do?
My head hurts when I think about it.
......
"Son, it's here, get out of the car!" or the conversation between mother and son in the front row pulled her back to reality from her chaotic thoughts.
As soon as I got off the train, I saw a few words at the exit of the station: Beicheng Bus Station. Beicheng, Beichen. Is it a symbol of being born in this beautiful town?
"Miss, do you need a car?" a red taxi pulled up not far from the exit, and a head poked out of the cab.
"Oh, yes. She stepped forward, pulled open the door of the back seat, and sat in.
"No. 23 Yiyuan Road. As soon as the words came out, Mo Beichen couldn't help but be startled. When did she remember the address of her home? In the days when she woke up, she had too many questions to ask and too many things to remember. She didn't deliberately remember such an address at all, but at the moment she left home, she hurriedly glanced at the words "Yiyuan Road" in front of the door. And now, she was able to blurt out the address. It seems that the subconscious self is not a blank slate. This discovery made Mo Beichen feel a little comforted in his heart.
The northern city was not very big, and the taxi stopped in front of a small courtyard after crossing a few asphalt lanes that were not very wide.
Mo Beichen got out of the car before and after paying the car.
The gate to the courtyard was unlocked, but the door to the house was closed. Mo Beichen then remembered that he didn't have the key to the house at all.
Knocked on the door, "Dad, Mom-"
There was no one in the room to answer. Unrelentingly, he knocked a few more times, "Dad, Mom-"
Still no response.
What are these two people doing? Mo Beichen wandered around in front of and behind the house boredly.
The July sun was really not ordinary, and after a while, she had already felt the sweat on her back soaking her clothes a little, and it was uncomfortable to stick to her body, so she had to hide in a big plane tree next to the house. Sure enough, the abundant foliage reduced the power of the sun a lot, and the occasional breeze took away the heat from the body. She simply found a place under the tree that was almost clean, leaning against the tree pole and closing her eyes to recuperate.
The leaves rustle overhead in the breeze, making it a beautiful sight to hear in the hot summer months.
Mo Beichen leaned on the tree pole and took a nap.
If it weren't for Mo Zhendong and Huang Kaiyun making a lot of noise when they opened the door, she might have had a sweet dream.
Rubbing his eyes, he tried to stand up with one hand on the ground. "Ah~" Because a posture has been maintained for too long, the numbness in her legs quickly invades the nerves, causing her to snort softly. I had to sit back and gently pat the paralyzed leg with my hand.
After a while, the leg regained consciousness, and he got up and walked to the door.
"It's all a good thing you did!" Walking to the door, Mo Beichen was about to push the door in, but heard Mo Zhendong's voice scolding Huang Kaiyun from inside the house.
Subconsciously retract your steps.
"Why did it all become my fault?" Huang Kaiyun said unconvincedly.
"If you didn't have to let your nephew be in charge of the procurement of raw materials, would it have caused such a big trouble?"
It was the voice of the father.
What was wrong? I couldn't help but hold my breath and put my ear against the wooden door.
"He didn't know that there would be problems with that batch of raw materials!" Huang Kaiyun said helplessly.
"I don't know, I don't know. You will say that you don't know! I think he is clearly greedy for small profits and wants to get some benefits from it. β
"Oops, anyway. Didn't Mrs. Xuan promise to help us solve the problem?"
"Promise to settle it?" Mo Zhendong yelled impatiently, "She has already taken out a sum of money to help us settle the remaining compensation for the poisoned guests, and now, are you still embarrassed to go to her? You also saw that this time, it was the Grand Hyatt Hotel that we served drinks to claim compensation from us, saying that ours had seriously affected their reputation." β
"But you said that if you don't look for the Xuan family, who can we find?800,000, where can we go to get together in this knotted eye?" Huang Kaiyun's voice was full of anxiety, "This... Isn't that making matters worse!"
"Anyway, I can't find the Xuan family anymore. β
Mo Zhendong paused slightly when he said this, "The previous decision has already made me feel that I am betraying my daughter's happiness, and if I continue to ask the Xuan family for help, it will only make me feel more guilty." β
"Zhendong, don't say that. Huang Kaiyun comforted loudly, "At the beginning, if we didn't marry Beichen into the Xuan family in exchange for the help of Mrs. Xuan, now Beichen can only live with us hiding in Tibet and crying in debt!"
I see!
Mo Beichen couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. The strength in her hand was heavier, and her body almost lost her balance, and she pushed the door open with a squeak.
"Beichen?!" Huang Kaiyun almost jumped and turned around.
"Why are you back?" Mo Zhendong tried his best to make his voice appear calm, but he didn't know how tense it was.
"Oh...... I, I... Just arrived. Mo Beichen's tongue knotted slightly, but then he pretended to take a relaxed step and walked in.
"Dad, Mom. Where have you been? Why didn't you answer your phone calls before?"
"We went to your dad's factory. Hehe..."After Huang Kaiyun learned that Mo Beichen had just arrived, her tone seemed much more relaxed than before.
