There were many people present, and there were many servants of the Mo family around. It was not convenient for Ji Nuan to ask anything, so he looked away and pushed the old man to sit down at the dining table.
"Grandpa, don't be too angry on weekdays. Don't always vent your anger on us young people. You should take good care of your health." After Ji Nuan helped the old man to the dining table, he signaled to the servants to serve the food. .
Dinner has just been prepared in the kitchen and has been waiting for the old man.
Ji Nuan thought that Mo Peilin and her daughter would come to have dinner together, but the servant went to call someone and came back alone and said, "They said they had eaten something in the afternoon and were not hungry yet, so they would not come for dinner tonight. "
Mr. Mo didn't say much, he just smiled and asked Ji Nuan to sit next to him quickly.
Because the old man always likes to drink a few sips of wine while eating. He is not yet well yet, so he can't drink it, but he really wants to drink it. Ober plans to bring a jar of medicinal wine aged in Mo's house for the old man to drink. The medicinal wine is tonic. There is nothing wrong with your health if you take a few sips less.
Ji Nuan didn't sit down in a hurry and avoided Mo Jingshen's dark eyes. When he saw Ober going out, he quickly followed him out to help.
Seeing Ji Nuan follow him out like this, Ober smiled and picked up a jar of medicinal wine and said, "How much does such a small jar of wine weigh? I can just get it myself. He suddenly followed him out. Do you have anything to ask me?" Bar?"
Ji Nuan smiled: "Ober, I'm really here to help."
Ober smiled and didn't say anything more. He just walked back with her and said, "I know what you want to ask. After all, the old man couldn't wait for you to see him three years ago. After you flew to London, Mr. Mo didn't explain what the conflict was between you. He only said that the divorce was his decision. You were forced to leave by him. All the responsibility is not yours. Even if you were unsympathetic to the Mo family in the end, it was not yours. It was his fault. In a fit of rage, the old man raised his cane and hit Mr. Mo. The dozen or so blows were all struck firmly on the back. The red heart wood cane was so hard and strong that it broke at the end of the blow. What do you think of him? How hard must the beating be..."
Ji Nuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"I was watching from the side at that time. I couldn't stop him even if I wanted to. The old man was angry, and Mr. Mo took everything on himself again. He stood there without saying anything or running away. The old man I picked up the crutch and hit him on the back. He didn't even frown. Until the crutch finally broke, the old man sat down angrily. When Mr. Mo left, I saw that the back of his shirt was soaked. If it gets wet, even if it doesn’t reach the point where the skin is torn apart, it definitely won’t be much better... "
Ji Nuan lowered her eyes, feeling as if something had stung her heart.
Mo Jingshen's back was covered with old wounds from Cambodia and Los Angeles. Even if the wounds had healed, they could not withstand the devastation. Three years ago, it had only been a few months since his wounds had healed. The old man hit his back with a cane, and it was estimated that those old wounds that were particularly serious would burst open. The shirt was stained, which meant that the wounds were really hard hit until they burst open.
That kind of pain that connects bones and flesh, you can know how painful it is just by imagining it.
Ober sighed again: "Since he was a child, the old man has never beaten him, but for you, he broke his crutches... ah... "
Ji Nuan's footsteps stopped outside the door of the front hall. That's all Ober should say. After thinking about it, he didn't talk any more. He didn't urge her to go in, and walked into the front hall alone with a jar of wine.
Ji Nuan was a little confused.
What echoed in his ears and eyes reflected the former Mo Jingshen. He said that trust is the foundation of marriage, and he said that he would never divorce. But in the end, he pushed her away and kept saying that the man who had promised to her Mo Jingshen, who had lived through everything, was dead.
So he is no longer the man she believed in love, nor is he the man who would risk his life for her, nor is he the man who broke the killing habit because of her in Cambodia.
He said he had died in the car accident.
Even though she knew it was a lie, she gradually convinced herself that it was true over the next three years.
Just think of him as a man with the same face as the former Mo Jingshen.
That's all.
But Ober told her that three years ago, after she left, Mo Jingshen suffered a severe beating from the old man alone, and he personally admitted that he had forced her to leave.
Ji Nuan looked at the brightly lit front hall in front of her. Yan Yan came back from outside and saw Ji Nuan standing outside the door like a statue. He raised his hand and waved it twice in front of her eyes: "Sister Nuan? What are you saying?" What are you doing here? What are you doing standing outside? Feeding mosquitoes?"
Ji Nuan came back to her senses and glanced at him: "Where were you just now?"
"I went to take a look at the door of Mo's house to familiarize myself with the environment from here to the outside. If anything happens here, I can take you to evacuate at any time. Isn't this the responsibility of a bodyguard?"
"What can happen to me here? It's safe in Mo's house. You don't have to be busy getting familiar with the environment. Just rest for a while."
"Ah? Are you really familiar with this place? Are you really Mrs. Mo? Are you single? Sister Nuan?"
Ji Nuan twitched the corner of her mouth and pushed him back to the front hall, asking him to go eat quickly. The tall young man let out an "Oops" when she pushed him, and then he finally went in. Ji Nuan glanced inside and then I turned around and walked down the stairs in front of the front hall. I felt so depressed that I wanted to take a walk outside and get some fresh air.
As soon as he walked into the shade behind the front hall, he suddenly heard someone talking. The voice sounded familiar. Ji Nuan stopped in his tracks and instinctively stood behind a thicker tree trunk.
"Did you see that? That Ji Nuan is really back. I thought she had nothing to do with the Mo family. I didn't expect her to come just after the old man was discharged from the hospital!" Mo Peilin's voice was very low: "Just now, I Did you see it when we were outside the front hall? The old man kept holding Ji Nuan's hand, as if she was still his granddaughter-in-law!"
"Mom, you pulled me out to take a peek just to see Ji Nuan?" Mo Jiaxue's voice was low, with the same quiet, timid and inferior tone.
"I want you to see the facts clearly. This Ji Nuan definitely came with bad intentions. Have you forgotten why we came to the Mo family? Is it just to find someone to rely on to live here for a few years? Who knows how long the old man can live? ? What if he is gone, the Mo family will not be able to accommodate us." Mo Peilin whispered: "Jing Shen hasn't been back for a long time. It's rare that the old man was just discharged from the hospital yesterday, and Jing Shen finally returned to the Mo family yesterday, and let him go last night You went to his room to find a chance to talk, but you, a damn girl, just didn’t listen. What’s the result? Ji Nuan just came here to kill you today! If you continue to be so weak, this woman will take away your depth of field again... "
