Chapter 99 - Old Friends

Chapter 99: Old Friends

The middle-aged man frowned and thought about it for a moment. “I agree!” He only needed to confirm if the book he was looking for was amongst the books they bought. As for the money, he really did not care about it.

“I bought a total of nine books. How many do you want to see?” Su Jinyue asked with a smile.

“All of them,” the middle-aged man answered without hesitation. Of course, he would not be stingy with the money for one or two books.

Su Jinyue reached out her hand. The middle-aged man took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Su Jinyue’s hand without counting it. He only wanted to look at those books now. He wanted to know if the book he was looking for was amongst them.

Su Jinyue smiled and kept the money. She turned to look at Zhan Yihan. “Give him the bag.”

Zhan Yihan nodded and passed the bag in his hand to the middle-aged man.?Of course he knew that the bag did not contain the book the middle-aged man was looking for. His Jinyue is really mischievous!

The middle-aged man took the bag and opened it hastily. He took out all the books and flipped through them once. His frown deepened. “Are they all here?”?This is impossible. Why isn’t it here? Could it be that his senses were wrong? It had already happened twice today, and both times involved the two of them.

“Yeah, I only bought nine books in total. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the shopkeeper,” Su Jinyue said with a smile.

The middle-aged man handed the bag back to Zhan Yihan and walked towards the bookstore. He had also heard Su Jinyue say that she was buying nine books. Now that the books were all here and Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan did not have that aura on them, it seemed like he had really made a mistake. He went back to the bookstore to check again to see if he had really made a mistake.

After the middle-aged man left, Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan looked at each other and smiled. They held hands and walked forward. They had gained a lot from today’s trip. Although they did not know what the contents of the book were, they could tell from its color that the book was very old.

The sun gradually set. The orange sunlight shone on the field, making the entire field seem red.

On the field, a group of young people were training with sweat pouring down their faces. Their loud and powerful shouts were invigorating.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Mo Feiyao walked towards his office. The moment he returned to his office, the phone on his desk rang.

He walked forward and looked at the caller ID. Mo Feiyao picked up the phone and greeted respectfully, “Grandpa!” He knew that his grandfather must have called him because of Su Jinyue.

“I heard from Feiheng that you’ve already found her?” Old Master Mo asked.

“Yes, Grandpa. She’s Zhan Yihan’s fiancée, Su Jinyue. That day, Wei Yuanxing brought her and Zhan Yihan to the Blue Flame Clubhouse. I only found out about her identity then.” Mo Feiyao briefly told him about Su Jinyue going to the Blue Flame Club to battle the Swan Goose Squad that day. Actually, even until now, he was still in disbelief that Su Jinyue could defeat the Swan Goose Squad.

Old Master Mo raised his brows in interest. “She actually defeated the Swan Goose Squad. She’s really not simple. Do you know why she refused to come to the Mo Family?”

“She rejected my invitations several times. I asked her why. She said that her medical skills are not good. I feel that she has something against our Mo family,” Mo Feiyao said. When Su Jinyue heard his name for the first time on the train, she frowned unconsciously. After that, her attitude towards him had always been cold.

“Have you checked her background?” Old Master Mo tapped on the table lightly, deep in thought. The Mo Family had many enemies, but none of them had the surname Su.

“I’ve checked. Su Jinyue is just an ordinary girl from a mountain village. She has been learning medicine from her Teacher since she was young. There’s nothing special about her. This is her first time going on a long trip,” Mo Feiyao said. After knowing the relationship between Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan, he immediately got someone to check Su Jinyue’s information.

After some thought, Old Master Mo said, “You don’t have to worry about this anymore.”

“Yes, Grandpa!” Mo Feiyao replied.

Old Master Mo put down the phone and pondered for a moment before making a call.

Not long after, the call was picked up. A deep voice came from the other end of the line. “This is the Wei family. Who are you looking for?”

“I’m Mo Yousheng,” Old Master Mo replied.

“Old Chief! Please wait a moment!” Uncle Zhong turned to look at Old Master Wei, who was reading the newspaper. “It’s Old Chief Mo.”

Old Master Wei nodded and put down the newspaper in his hand. He stood up and took the phone from Uncle Zhong’s hand. “Old Mo, why did you call me?” There was no need to guess that this old man was calling him because of Su Jinyue.

“You don’t have to pretend anymore. Don’t you know why I’m looking for you?” Old Master Mo smiled. Given their relationship, there was naturally no need to beat around the bush.

Old Master Wei laughed out loud. “I can’t help you with this matter. The young lady has made up her mind not to go to your Mo family. Old man, did your Mo family do something to let her down?”

“F*ck you! You old fogey, no matter how bad our Mo Family is, will we bully a young lady?” Old Master Mo picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip. Every time he chatted with his old friends, he felt as if he had returned to his younger days. However, time did not spare people. As they grew older, those old friends who had experienced that era with him and who had gone through life and death together with him, began to fall ill or pass away.

“Alright, I won’t joke with you anymore. I’ve asked Jinyue before, and she’s very determined,” Old Master Wei said. He couldn’t understand why either. Logically speaking, Jinyue had never been to the Capital city, so she shouldn’t have any conflict with the Mo Family.

“Do you know the reason?” Old Master Mo asked with a frown. He had wanted to ask Su Yanyue to treat his wife, but Su Yanyue had already left the capital when he called the Serene Spring Resort. It so happened that Feiyao had just returned and told him about Su Jinyue, so he wanted to ask Su Jinyue to come to their place to take a look at his wife. Now that his wife’s health was deteriorating day by day, he was anxious.

“I’m not sure.” Old Master Wei shook his head. Actually, he wanted to know the reason as well, but since Su Jinyue didn’t say anything, he couldn’t ask too much. After all, he had only met Su Jinyue once.

Old Master Mo sighed and said, “Old man, help me ask Su Jinyue out. I want to meet her.” He wanted to ask her why she was so against the Mo Family.

“Alright!” Old Master Wei agreed. He knew very clearly what the relationship between Mo Shengsheng and Qin Yu was like. He was also one of the witnesses to their love back then. If Su Jinyue really had the ability to treat Qin Yu, he really hoped that Su Jinyue could help with this.

Old Master Mo put down the phone, shook his head and sighed before leaving the study. His only wish now was for Xiaoyu to live a few more years and accompany him for a longer period of time.
