Chapter 38
Mo Xiu’s Identity
The three young men were chatting enthusiastically when the door rang.
Mo Xiu heard someone knocking on the door. It should be Yue Yuan. He was about to open the door.
However, the moment he moved, Mr, Zheng stopped him.
“You guys chat, I’ll open the door!”
Mr. Zheng stood up and opened the door. Then, he was shocked to see the person at the door.
“Uncle Zheng?”
“Young boss? Why are you here?”
Yue Yuan took a few steps back and looked at the door sign. “That’s right. Mo Xiu said he had moved and wanted me to join in the fun. Did I walk in the wrong direction?”
Mr. Zheng turned around and looked at Mo Xiu. Why did this young lad who grew up in the slums have so much power?
If the Liu Corporation was beyond the reach of the government, then the power behind this person could absolutely be said to be the local tyrant of Shun City.
The security company that Mr. Zheng worked for was under Yue Yuan’s father, Yue Long.
One of the two people whom Mr. Zheng admired the most in his life was the City Lord, Qiu Qiming, who had saved an entire city. The other person was Yue Long, who had come to Shun City alone and started from scratch to become one of the top people in Shun City within ten years.
“Uncle Zheng! Uncle Zheng! Is Mo Xiu here? If not, I’ll take my leave first. I’ll visit again in the future.”
Only then did Mr. Zheng react. Then, he hurriedly said, “Yes, Mo Xiu is here. Come in.”
Everyone was here, and the dishes were ready. Mr. Zheng, Liu Ziyang, and Yue Yuan were chatting. Meanwhile, Mo Xiu and Zheng Yi helped to serve the dishes.
The few of them sat down. Then, Li Yuan changed and came out. Everyone was stunned.
Li Yuan’s temperament was too compatible with this set of clothes. Normally, one would not be used to wearing such clothes.
However, Li Yuan did not seem that way at all. She placed her hand on her abdomen and walked over slowly. It was as if Li Yuan should have been wearing such clothes all along.
Mo Xiu also suddenly felt that his mother shouldn’t have suffered so much all these years. His mother should have led such a life.
Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Li Yuan felt a little embarrassed. Thinking that everyone was waiting for her, she jogged to the dining table.
Mrs. Zheng said, “Everyone, please try our cooking.”
Mr. Zheng first picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. After savoring it carefully, he said, “Honey, it’s great! Your culinary skills haven’t decreased at all. It still tastes the same!”
Mrs. Zheng snapped, “Mo Xiu’s mother made this!”
Mr. Zheng smiled awkwardly and picked up another vegetable dish to savor.
“Mmm, honey, this dish is really good!”
Mrs. Zheng rolled her eyes at him and said, “She made this too.”
Mr. Zheng couldn’t hide his embarrassment anymore. Why was his wife’s signature dish made by someone else?
In the end, he could only say, “Ms. Li, your cooking skills are really good.”
Zheng Yi was secretly laughing when Mr. Zheng glared at him.
Mo Xiu sighed. It seemed that Zheng Yi’s joker tendencies ran in the family.
Everyone was talking and laughing during the meal. Mr. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng, and Li Yuan were not old-fashioned people. They chatted with the children.
Finally, they talked about Li Yuan. Mrs. Zheng said, “Ms. Li, what do you plan to do in the future? We can get along well. Why don’t you come to my company and be my secretary?”
Mr. Zheng interrupted, “Hey! How can you let her work for you?”
Mrs. Zheng didn’t know Mo Xiu’s current identity, but Mr. Zheng knew.
During this meal, Mr. Zheng understood that Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan were sincere towards Mo Xiu. Not only that, they were also respectful towards him.
For example, Liu Ziyang always called Mo Xiu “Boss.” It seemed as if the two of them really treated Mo Xiu as their boss.
With the status and spirit of these two young masters, Mr. Zheng would never believe that they were willing to treat Mo Xiu as their boss without being told by their elders to do so.
Hence, Father Zheng concluded that Mo Xiu had an unknown identity that even the local tyrant of Shun City, Yue Long, feared.
Now, it was not about taking care of Li Yuan. He had to be more respectful to Li Yuan and not anger her.
After hearing Mr. Zheng’s words, Mrs. Zheng did not say anything else.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yi said, “Dad, Mom, I saw today that Auntie has a very good house setup.”
Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng both looked at Li Yuan. Li Yuan said, “I don’t dare to say I’m good at it, but I do like it.”
Mrs. Zheng said, “I have a friend who owns a renovation company. Are you interested in becoming an interior decoration consultant?”
Without waiting for Li Yuan’s reply, Yue Yuan said, “Auntie, my father has a company like this under his name. It’s not small. If you’re willing, I can transfer the ownership of this company to you.”
Everyone looked at Yue Yuan in shock. This was what it meant to be rich. One word and he would give them a company!
Mo Xiu also looked at Yue Yuan strangely. What happened today?
In reality, after the last mission, Yue Yuan had told Yue Long about Mo Xiu when he returned home.
When Yue Long heard that Mo Xiu was related to Elder Tang, and that Mo Xiu was a poor fellow, he had a good impression of Mo Xiu.
Li Yuan looked at Yue Yuan, then looked at Mo Xiu. Then, she said, “Thank you, but I’m not capable enough. I’ll train first. I think Mrs. Zheng’s job offer is quite suitable for me.”
Yue Yuan wanted to persuade her but Mo Xiu shook his head and said, “Okay, Auntie. Mo Xiu will be going to Yanjing in a few days. If you need anything, you can look for me directly.”
Liu Ziyang could not take it anymore. He patted Yue Yuan’s chest and said, “Hey, hey, hey, hey, that’s enough. It’s a little too much. You’re so attentive!”
Zheng Yi interrupted, “Haha, I also think that Old Yue is a little too much.”
Zheng Yi was naturally approachable. In just one meal, he got along well with Liu Ziyang.
Mr. Zheng saw that his son was behaving inappropriately and scolded him. “Zheng Yi!”
Zheng Yi rolled his eyes and lowered his head to eat without saying another word.
Meanwhile, Mo Xiu said to Mrs. Zheng, “Then I’ll have to trouble Auntie to introduce my mother to the job.”
Mrs. Zheng was the boss of a small company after all. Thus, she could tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the dining table.
“Hey, okay. Don’t be so polite with me. It’s not a big deal.”
After the meal, Mo Xiu and Li Yuan left first.
Meanwhile, Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan chatted enthusiastically with Zheng Yi for a while before leaving.
When Yue Yuan walked to the door, he said to Father Zheng, “Uncle Zheng, if Auntie Li Yuan needs anything, please let me know immediately.”
Mr. Zheng said, “Alright, I understand!”
After the two of them left, Mr. Zheng asked Zheng Yi, “Do you know what other identities Mo Xiu has?”
Zheng Yi was a little confused as he shook his head. “No, isn’t Mo Xiu normal?”
Mrs. Zheng asked, “What exactly happened? I didn’t dare to speak just now.”
Mr. Zheng said, “Liu Ziyang is the son of the Liu Corporation. That’s right! I’m talking about the Liu Corporation in Yanjing. Meanwhile, Yue Yuan is the son of my boss. Do you understand what I mean?”
Mrs. Zheng was so shocked that she could not speak. The status of these two people far exceeded her own.
Meanwhile, Zheng Yi could not believe that the two people he was talking to just now had such a background.
“Dad, are you sure? How could Mo Xiu know them?”
Seeing his father glare at him, Zheng Yi could only lower his head and say, “Damn, this is awesome. It’ll be easier for him to survive in Yanjing.”
Mr. Zheng looked at his unstable son and asked seriously, “Zheng Yi, tell me honestly, how close are you to Mo Xiu?”
Zheng Yi thought about it and said, “It’s hard to say how close we are. Let’s put it this way.”
“We share a life-and-death relationship!”
