Chapter 227: Kneel
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the day Mo Hong arrived, Qin Ran woke up early and put on the cheongsam that she had specially custom-made some time ago. The light purple cheongsam was made of high-grade silk fabric with auspicious clouds and divine birds on it. The exquisite embroidery threads emitted a faint luster. The exquisite small collar and floral buckle were all handmade. It was simple, and a low-key luxury.
Wearing a cheongsam was a huge test of one’s temperament. Not everyone could wear a cheongsam well. It was very difficult to wear a cheongsam with the unique charm.
However, when Qin Ran put on the cheongsam, the maids behind her exclaimed.
Qin Ran usually wore loose and comfortable clothes, making her look lively and cute. However, after she wore this cheongsam, she instantly became an elegant and gentle classical beauty. Every action was so gentle and noble. The close-fitting cheongsam perfectly displayed the beautiful curves of her body. She smiled faintly, and her entire person was like an enchanting and graceful painting.
When Mo Chi saw her, he was also stunned for a few seconds. His eyes almost couldn’t move. After a long time, he walked forward and held her hand. “Ranran, you look so beautiful in a cheongsam.”
He had never seen Qin Ran look so dignified and elegant. She was usually playful and cute. Who would have thought that she could actually control this style? There was always something about her that surprised him.
“Hmph, it’s all because I want to look more mature and steady. After all, I’m going to see your second grandfather.” On such an important occasion, Qin Ran knew that she had to dress up to more or less satisfy the adults. Mo Hong had not seen her, so a dignified and elegant first impression was very important.
Mo Chi was grateful that Qin Ran had specially changed her style for him. He gently hugged Qin Ran’s shoulder. “But my second grandfather is very kind. You don’t have to be too nervous.”
“I’m not nervous.” Qin Ran smiled. “I can handle such a small scene.”
The two of them got into the car and arrived at the old residence in the evening. The old residence was in town, and it was in the traditional style of architecture. There were two majestic stone lions at the door, and a huge plaque that said “Mo Residence” hung on the door.
Mo Chi helped Qin Ran out of the car like a gentleman. Qin Ran sized up the old residence and sighed with emotion in her heart. The Mo Family was indeed a big family. This residence probably had more than a hundred years of history.
“Slow down, be careful of the steps.” Mo Chi helped Qin Ran into the old residence. Butler Zhang brought the servants over and said respectfully, “Young Master, yours and Young Madam’s residence is in the bamboo courtyard in the west.”
Mo Chi nodded and turned to look at Qin Ran. “Let’s go over first.”
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a tall and thin man suddenly walked over from the corridor. When he saw Mo Chi, the man revealed a disdainful smile. “Yo, I was wondering who it was. So it’s the only illegitimate son of our Mo Family. Who’s the woman beside you? As expected of Mo Wei’s son, you do things the same as him. How could you bring all kinds of women to the Mo Family. Aren’t you ashamed?!”
Mo Chi looked at Mo Lai coldly and was about to say something when Qin Ran took two steps forward and looked at Mo Lai mockingly. Then, she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her nose. “Aiya, it stinks. Have some people not brushed their teeth for months? Why are their words so smelly? Butler Zhang, do you smell it?”
When Mo Lai saw that Qin Ran was actually mocking him for having a foul mouth, he was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out. “Where did you come from, bitch? How dare you say that about me? Do you know who I am?”
“I’m not talking about you. I can’t do anything if you insist on taking it seriously.” Qin Ran shrugged and looked at Mo Lai’s face carefully. Then, she looked at him with disdain and sympathy. “Aiya, sir, your glabella is green and your face is pale. This is a sign of kidney deficiency. If this continues, I’m afraid you’ll be crippled. Why don’t you quickly go see a doctor?”
When Mo Lai walked over, Qin Ran saw that his footsteps and tone were weak. It was indeed a sign of excessive indulgence. These words were not nonsense.
Which man could tolerate a woman saying that his kidneys were weak? Mo Lai was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out. “Mo Chi! Where did you find this b*tch? I want to smash her mouth! The son of a b*tch indeed likes to find a b*tch…”
Before Mo Lai could finish speaking, Qin Ran raised her leg and kicked Mo Lai’s knee. Mo Lai did not react at all. After the pain in his knee, he actually knelt on the ground.
“Aiya, why are you giving us such a big bow? This won’t do, this won’t do!” Qin Ran covered her mouth in shock and then looked at Mo Lai with a smile. “I heard from Mo Chi that he has a cousin who’s so afraid of him. So it’s you? You’re actually so afraid of him that you’re kneeling!”
