Chapter 238 - 238 Confession
238 Confession
“Since we’ve confirmed that you’re not bad people, there’s no suspicion!” Eldest Uncle reacted and said apologetically, “I apologize to you. You can pick as many navel oranges as you want from my mountain. There’s no need to pay the bill. Just treat it as an apology to you!”
“How can we do that?” Mo Ronghua was rather shocked. “It’s clearly our fault. It’s our wrongdoing and behavior that caused you to misunderstand. It’s normal for you to be so vigilant.”
“That’s right!” Mrs. Mo echoed from the side. “If we want to apologize, we should be the ones apologizing!”
Shi Lichun and Lin Qiulan looked puzzled.
Were all rich people so polite?
It was clearly their fault.
If it was anyone else who was being monitored for no reason and suspected of being a bad person or human trafficker, they would definitely be furious, right?
Not only were the couple not angry, they even took responsibility for their own mistakes.
Hearing their rejection of compensation, Shi Lichun felt even more guilty.
He said, “Don’t decline. Your family is rich. Perhaps you don’t like these orange gifts that my family has compensated you with?”
“No, no, no, Boss Shi, you’ve misunderstood!” Mo Ronghua shook her head and immediately explained, “Your family’s navel oranges are very good. Madam and I also like it. However, we should be the ones compensating.”
Mrs. Mo nodded. “Yes, yes, it’s our apology!”
“Speaking of compensation, I still have a question!” Shi Lichun frowned slightly and asked, “What exactly are you looking for in my house?”
Mo Ronghua and his wife were dumbfounded
They seemed to have come back to square one.
This question could not be avoided. Could it be that they really had to confess the truth?
That would not do!
Their son hadn’t properly wooed her. What if their confession didn’t become divine help but instead became a shackle? Wouldn’t their son resent them then?
“Ahem…” Mo Ronghua coughed again.
At this moment, Gu Qingming said, “Mr. Rong, is your throat bad? Is it too dry? Do you want a few more oranges to moisten your throat?” This was a hint that he had already faked a cough several times.
Mo Ronghua was speechless. Was this child doing this on purpose?
With her knowledge, she probably recognized their identities. However, she did not point them out now. She was probably worried that her eldest uncle was present.
Mo Ronghua nodded and said, “The weather has been dry recently, and after sitting in the car for so long, my throat is indeed a little uncomfortable. Then I’ll have to trouble Mingming to cut two more navel oranges to moisten my throat!”
Gu Qingming was speechless.
This was like hitting a snake with a stick.
However, the other party was an elder and a big shot. Cutting a few oranges for him would not hurt!
Shi Lichun immediately instructed, “Qiulan, go up the mountain and pick a few now. They’re fresh!”
“Yes, Dad, I’ll go now!” Lin Qiulan finally recovered from her shock.
Mrs. Mo said in embarrassment, “Just this box will do. There’s no need to go up the mountain to pick more!”
Mrs. Mo was referring to the secondary fruits that one of the customers picked out.
These fruits were either extremely big, extremely small, or fruits with ulcers and no moisture.
In the countryside, other than keeping these fruits for themselves, many of them would be given to relatives and friends.
Shi Lichun shook his head and said, “You’ve come from afar. You’re guests. How can I let you eat these fruits? If you want to eat, you have to eat something good and fresh! Our family has a huge mountain, so we don’t mind giving you some!”
Mo Ronghua did not refuse and nodded. “Alright then!”
“So, Mr. Rong, why did you come to my house? You said it was because of those navel oranges. I don’t believe you now!”
Mo Ronghua was speechless. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn’t get out of the predicament!
He sighed softly and said, “I’m ashamed to say this. We did come to Boss Shi’s house for a purpose!”
Shi Lichun’s pupils constricted!
There was indeed a purpose!
Mo Ronghua continued, “We’re here to look for someone!”
“Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?” Shi Lichun asked anxiously. “How can you be sure that the person you’re looking for is in my house?”
But they were not human traffickers!
“We were looking for her!” Mo Ronghua pointed at Gu Qingming!
The uncle and niece’s expressions were the same, and they were both a little surprised!
“Looking for me?”
“Looking for my niece?”
“Why are you looking for her?”
“Why are you looking for me?”
They asked in unison!
Mo Ronghua said, “Boss Shi, my surname is actually Mo. I’m Little Mo’s father, Mo Ronghua!”
Shi Lichun was dumbfounded!
“You’re actually Little Mo’s father?” Shi Lichun was shocked. “I was wondering why you looked so familiar. It’s because you are father and son!”
At this point, he paused and looked at the other party again before continuing, “You father and son really look alike! If you’re about the same age, you would look like twins!
”
This person was actually Little Mo’s father? Then was this young lady beside him Little Mo’s mother. She was really too young!
“Mr. Mo, why are you looking for me?” Gu Qingming asked generously!
Mo Ronghua and her husband liked this straightforward personality!
Mo Ronghua smiled. “After Yan’er got into a car accident and was sent to the hospital, I heard from the doctor that Yan’er’s HP was declining rapidly. Just as it was about to reach a straight line, it suddenly showed signs of rising again. When it stabilized, we asked the experts and professors to rush over!”
Gu Qingming asked with a calm expression, “That’s because your son is lucky. What does it have to do with me? You don’t have to thank me!” It shocked Uncle and the others!
“No, it’s related!” Mo Ronghua shook her head and continued, “When Yan’er’s condition improved, you happened to be at the door of the emergency room! They said that it was when you were at the door that my Yan’er suddenly recovered! Therefore, we unanimously agreed that you are my Yan’er’s lucky star, no, the lucky star of our entire family!”
Mrs. Mo continued, “So, we especially came to thank you!”
When Gu Qingming heard this, she seemed to believe it.
She asked suspiciously, “Since you want to thank me, you should come over openly to thank me, not in such a sneaky and suspicious way, right? Don’t you think so, Mr. and Mrs. Mo?”
Mo Ronghua and Mrs. Mo’s eyes flickered at the same time.
This child was indeed very smart!
Mrs. Mo smiled and said, “Alright, let’s tell the truth. My son woke up. The first thing he said to me when he woke up was that he liked a girl.”
Gu Qingming instantly understood what she meant. Her face flushed red with shyness.
Shi Lichun finally understood.
These two people had sneaked over and were acting suspiciously. Were they actually helping their son?
Thinking of this, Shi Lichun’s eyes instantly flashed with anger!
