Chapter 36: Blood is thicker than water
"What are you secretly discussing behind my back?" An Xiabai saw them coming together when he entered the door, and couldn't help but wonder.
Lu Li told her about her plan to open a restaurant, and also told her about Mo Simin's preparation to join: "We were discussing this just now, and we were saying that we would discuss it when you came back, but it happened that you came back." ”
"Let's put this matter aside for now, there are more important things now." An Xiabai's gaze fell on Mo Simin, and he smiled, "There are people outside who want to see you." ”
Needless to say, it must be Mo Qiyan, the smile on Mo Simin's face suddenly dissipated, and his expression began to become unnatural: "I don't want to go out to see him." ”
An Xiabai could understand her current mood, and she might not be willing to do so, but fortunately she had prepared before.
She took Mo Simin's hand and said softly: "I made everything clear to Master Mo, he said that he realized his mistake, and now he is waiting for you to go out to see him outside the door, saying that he wants to make everything clear to you, you better go out to meet her." ”
Mo Simin was still reluctant: "What can he understand, he is stubborn and self-serving, and he is also the wolf's heart and dog's lungs!" ”
"Anyway, he is your father and your only blood relative in the world, and he can't hide for a lifetime, and he promised me that if things don't go well, he won't pester you again."
The so-called promise in An Xiabai's mouth moved Mo Simin's heart: "Since that's the case, I'll go out to meet." "
As soon as Mo Simin left the Lu family with her front foot, she saw Mo Qiyan standing not far away with his back to her.
Somehow, none of the servants who usually followed him were there, only he stood quietly, his back quite lonely.
Mo Simin forcibly suppressed the strange emotions that were faintly rising in his heart, and said coldly: "What do you want to say to me, it's better to say it quickly, I'm still busy, I don't have time to grind with you here." ”
Hearing her voice, Mo Qiyan suddenly turned his head and said with a complicated expression: "You are finally here." ”
Mo Simin responded lightly, only feeling that the person in front of her seemed to be different from usual, but what was the difference, she couldn't say for a while.
"I'm sorry, I know that I have neglected you and your mother over the years, causing you to suffer a lot outside the home." Mo Qiyan sighed and said, "It's not that I didn't want to make up for you, it's just that I've been in a high position for a long time, and I can't pull my face down, and after talking to Mrs. Lu today, I think I did something wrong." ”
Is this still the father who always puts on a tough posture in her memory, how does it look like another person?
Mo Simin was surprised: "So what do you want to express, the mistake has been made, and the consequences should be borne by you, right?" ”
"I want to try to make up for you in the days to come, you are my only daughter." Mo Qiyan looked serious and solemnly promised, "In the future, I will not control your affairs strongly, I will listen to your opinions, and I will not impose my own ideas on you again." ”
Mo Simin was slightly stunned, and at this moment of trance, he stepped forward and hugged him into his arms: "Can you give me a chance to make up for it?" ”
Mo Simin said with a complicated expression: "I don't know. ”
Her attitude softened, which Mo Qiyan could feel, and he nodded, indicating that he could give her enough time and space.
"Whatever you want to think about it for as long as you want, I can give it to you." He smiled.
His body temperature came from his fingertips, and his nose was also filled with the smell of his body, it was the fatherly love she had hoped for since she was a child, and when it was finally put in her hand, Mo Simin felt scared: "Can you really fulfill your promise?" ”
Mo Qiyan responded without hesitation: "If you don't believe it, you can tell me what you want to do now, even if you pick the stars in the sky, I can find a way to help you do it." ”
Hearing this, Mo Simin finally couldn't help laughing: "I don't have that much ambition, and I don't want to embarrass you, pick stars or something, forget it," she thought for a moment and replied, "I want to open a restaurant, can you support me?" ”
She didn't want to change her name to her father, Mo Qiyan's heart was sour, but she was more happy: "If you want to open a restaurant, you can open it, and the family's money is only in charge of the envoy." ”
The days were long, and he had time to wait for her to open up.
When Mo Simin returned to the Lu family, he was followed by Mo Qiyan, and the two of them seemed to be in a good mood, and there should be no conflicts, which made An Xiabai quite relieved.
"Are you two reconciled?" An Xia asked with a smile.
Mo Simin nodded, indicating that they had already made it clear, and this time they brought Mo Qiyan over because he had something to say.
Mo Qiyan took the initiative to compile: "These days, thank you for worrying about the little girl, if there is anything that can help in the future, just let me know, I will definitely not refuse." ”
They reconciled, which means that they have many backers in the court, An Xiabai is quite happy: "Simin has also helped me a lot, and now I should help her, you don't have to be polite." You haven't eaten yet, so if you don't dislike it, why don't you sit down and have a light meal together? ”
Mo Qiyan really didn't dislike it, as soon as An Xiabai said it, he sat down: "Then bother Mrs. Lu." ”
An Xiabai personally took the dishes and chopsticks and sent them to him, and then heard Mo Simin whisper: "Mrs. Lu, I want to discuss something with you." ”
"What's the matter, tell me." An Xiabai smiled slightly.
Mo Simin said in the most euphemistic tone he could think of: "I want to open a restaurant, but I can't cook, can we cooperate, and the income of the restaurant will be divided in half in the future." ”
An Xiabai didn't respond immediately, seeing this, she thought she was unwilling, so she hurriedly said again: "Otherwise, four or six is fine, you are six and I are four, and I can still go over from time to time to help out, what do you think?" ”
Not only did she have to provide a storefront, but she also had to work her own hard work, no matter how she calculated this business, An Xiabai felt that she was the one who took advantage, and shook her head again and again: "This seems a little unfair to you." ”
Mo Simin is not short of money, and fair interests have nothing to do with her: "You are the main person who is busy, it doesn't matter how much I earn, just if you don't lose." ”
If you have a friend like this, what do you want in this life?
An Xiabai was very moved and told her that it was okay to cooperate, but it still had to be divided.
After Lu Li saw that they had negotiated everything, he smiled and said, "In the future, I will also go to the restaurant to help, and you will have to pay for the start of work at that time." ”
Mo Simin snorted and said, "Yours are indispensable!" ”
Ruqing sat next to her and ate seriously, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but interject: "Even if a few more Mr. Lu go to help, our Mo girl will definitely be able to afford the salary." ”
"If you come, I can afford it." Mo Simin raised her eyebrows, she has been with Ruqing for so long, she almost understands Ruqing's character, she has a hard mouth and a soft heart, and occasionally jokes are just moving her mouth, but her heart is not bad!
"So do you dare to come?" She asked with a smile.
Ruqing thought for a while, and finally made a decision: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do over there, just go, don't forget to give me the start of work when the time comes!" ”
The matter of running a restaurant was so decided, because of Mo Qiyan's face, the procedures that needed to be applied for did not even have to be experienced by themselves, and the location was also bought by Mo Qiyan with great courage, and there were almost no disputes. It just so happens that the original site is also a restaurant, and they only need to take care of it a little before they can put it into use.
From the preparation to the opening of the restaurant, they didn't put much effort into it.
An Xiabai's reputation for opening a stall before played a role on the first day of the restaurant's opening, and the guests had no doubt about the quality of the food in their restaurant, and each table was ordered so boldly that they were almost too busy.
The scene at the time of the opening could not be more aptly described as a market.
Finally sent away a wave of guests, Lu Li got time to rest, and took the opportunity to complain to An Xiabai: "I finally understand how you felt before, you are really tired, and your bones seem to be falling apart." ”
An Xiabai was in charge of the kitchen, and now he just took a break while there were no guests, and without taking a few breaths, he walked in the direction of the kitchen.
Before leaving, she grabbed Lu Li: "There are some things in the kitchen that need my husband to help me, and I hope my husband won't be lazy." ”
Lu Li smiled and followed her to the kitchen: "Okay, well, listen to Madame." ”
Seeing the figures of the two of them walking farther and farther, Mo Simin stood in place, in a trance.
Ruqing didn't know when she walked out, and when she saw this, she patted her on the shoulder and persuaded softly: "The relationship between the two of them is good, don't think about it." ”
Mo Simin slapped her hand away, puffed out her face and said angrily: "What are you talking about! ”
Ruqing touched her nose, squinted her eyes and smiled, "Isn't what I said wrong?" ”
"That's not right!" Mo Simin denied it, "I don't have that kind of mind for him anymore!" ”
As soon as Mo Qiyan entered the door, he happened to see her angrily talking to Ruqing, and couldn't help but suspect that she had come at the wrong time: "What's the matter?" ”
Ruqing shook her head with a smile, saying that she was just joking with Mo Simin, and there was no conflict between the two of them.
Mo Qiyan was relieved at this time.
The relationship between their father and daughter has changed significantly during this time, and they can occasionally speak calmly, but only if Mo Simin is happy.
When getting along, she always felt a little embarrassed, perhaps because of the lack of fatherly love in the past few years, and the sudden change made her difficult to accept for a while.
Mo Qiyan didn't care, and the stiffness at the beginning became a habit.
"This is Lord Mo's daughter?" Suddenly, someone walked out from behind Mo Qiyan and looked at Mo Simin with burning eyes.
"Lord Zhou, this is the daughter I often mention, she is still young and ignorant, please forgive me for being rude." After Mo Qiyan finished talking to the person behind him, his eyes fell back to his daughter, "This is Lord Zhou, who is very interested in delicious food, I heard that the restaurant opened today, I will bring him to the building to try it, you can pick a few signature dishes and send them up." ”
