Chapter 222: Unloved
Mother Mo was playing with her eldest grandson by the side. She suddenly thought of something and said,
“Where’s Bo Yuan?”
Mo Xu shrugged again:
“How would I know where my brother is?”
“If you don’t know, why don’t you call him? Tell him to come back quickly.”
After Mother Mo saw the change in her daughter-in-law, she decided that she would have to have a proper talk with her eldest son. How could the young couple live apart for such a long time?
In the past, it was hard to say, but now that her daughter-in-law was sensible, she really needed to knock some sense into her son.
The Mo family had never produced a Chen Shimei (byword in China for a heartless and unfaithful man) in the past few generations. She couldn’t let her son ruin their legacy.
Besides, how outstanding was her daughter-in-law?
She had been a straight-a student since she was young. Now she was only twenty-five years old, and had already graduated with a doctorate. She was beautiful and had a gentle personality. How could those flirtatious women outside compare to her?
Mo Xu felt that at home, he was the one with the least weight.
Practically unloved.
He took out his phone:
“Got it. I’ll call him right away.”
However, at this moment, Jiang Tingxu spoke:
“Mom, um, ahem, Ningning’s father is still overseas.”
She really could not call him the way she used to call him.
Mother Mo then nodded:
“Overseas? Then forget it.”
The kitchen auntie came out at this moment:
“The food is ready.”
Because Father Mo and Mother Mo had suddenly returned, the dinner at the old residence had been pushed back by two hours.
The old man waved his hand:
“Alright, let’s eat.”
Usually only the old man and the little guy would eat at this dining table. It was truly lively tonight. Mo Boyuan was pretty much the only one who was absent.
The whole table was filled with food.
The Mo family didn’t have any restrictions with regard to talking while eating. Of course, it would be a different story if Mo Boyuan were here.
“Jiang Tingxu, Ningning wants to eat that piece of chicken feet.”
“It looks very spicy. Are you sure it’s okay?”
His eyes rolled as he looked at his mother:
“Yes, yes.”
In the end, she didn’t dare to let her son eat such spicy food. She poured a cup of boiling water from the kettle at the side:
“Before you eat, put it in here and wash it.”
“Okay!”
During the meal, Father Mo and the old man chatted nonstop. Mother Mo sat between Jiang Tingxu and Mo Xu and chatted with them from time to time.
The conversation with her son was mostly about the company as well as personal issues that people of her age liked to nag about.
The corner of Mo Xu’s mouth twitched. After that, he started picking at his food grumpily.
What else could Mother Mo do? She could only sigh. In the end, she gave her youngest son a pinch.
Only then did she look at her daughter-in-law with a smile. Her attitude was completely different from before.
“Tingxu, eat more. Look how thin you are.”
Fortunately, Mother Mo was not used to picking up food for others. Jiang Tingxu was aware that her mother-in-law was concerned about her:
“Mom, you should eat more too.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Mother Mo immediately answered in succession.
After dinner, it was already past nine o’clock. Everyone was tired and went back to their rooms.
Jiang Tingxu did not leave either. She was staying at the old residence tonight.
As for a certain little guy, after the auntie washed him up, he carried his little pillow to his parents’ room.
Jiang Tingxu had just come out of the shower. Her hair was dripping with water, and she was wiping it with a towel when she saw her son standing at the door.
“Come in.”
“Mm-hmm.”
When they were at Yunyu Tixiang, both mother and son slept together.
But they usually slept in separate rooms at the old residence.
After getting Jiang Tingxu’s permission, he was naturally overjoyed. He hugged the pillow and jumped onto the big bed, and even rolled around in excitement.
