"Dilemma? For me, it no longer matters. Fu Yansheng, if you really mean it, why not just divorce me? This way, everyone can be relieved!" Ling Mo's reply was sharp and she did not give in.
"Enough! I've said it before, divorce is absolutely impossible!" Fu Yansheng refused flatly.
After a heated argument, both parties left angrily and parted on bad terms.
……
As the sun was setting, Zheng Jiaxuan returned in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Ling Mohui couldn't wait to come forward and asked anxiously: "How was the meeting with Xu Yanqing? Was there any progress?"
Zheng Jiaxuan hesitated to speak, with a complicated expression. Finally, he sighed and said, "My sister is worried about the Prime Minister's affairs. Please don't worry about my affairs for now."
"Worry about him? How can he be compared with your importance?" Ling Mohui retorted seriously.
When Zheng Jiaxuan heard this, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, with a warm and sincere smile.
"Come and tell me, what did you find?" Ling Mohui listened expectantly while leisurely eating melon seeds.
"I heard that the Zeng family will host a banquet at Zi Yan Tower tomorrow to entertain that mysterious person?" Ling Mohui's eyes were filled with curiosity and shrewdness, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Zheng Jiaxuan nodded slightly, still with some worry between his brows: "Yes, but we haven't figured out how to sneak into that banquet yet."
"Tomorrow at noon, I will meet with Brother Xu again to discuss. He will go ahead tonight to find out the details of Zi Yan Tower." Zheng Jiaxuan explained in detail.
"Speaking of Ziyan Tower, wouldn't it have an impact on your physical and mental growth if you were to visit such a place at such a young age?"
Ling Mohui blinked with concern and expressed her inner worries.
Zheng Jiaxuan's eyes flashed with surprise, then he put away his playful intention and said to Ling Mo in a serious tone: "Sister, I am fifteen years old this year. According to the ancient etiquette, I have reached the age of hair binding. I am no longer that ignorant child!"
There was a hint of urgency in his tone, wanting to prove himself.
Ling Mohui heard this but didn't take it seriously. She raised her lips with a doting but slightly teasing smile: "How come you are not a child anymore? Look at your childish appearance. If you tell others, I'm afraid no one will believe that you are a boy with tied hair."
Her eyes were full of love and helplessness about Zheng Jiaxuan's inability to grow up.
Zheng Jiaxuan opened his mouth to refute, but he swallowed back all the truth in his mind. He knew that he would not be able to win the argument in front of this sister, so he could only shrug helplessly and give up the argument.
"Okay, I'll go with you to the appointment tomorrow at noon. You're still young, don't let Xu Yanqing lead you astray."
Ling Mo replied earnestly, her expression becoming serious, her concern evident in her words.
Zheng Jiaxuan muttered to himself that he was not a contented person to begin with, but the fact that Ling Mohui cared about him like this made him feel warm and indescribably grateful and happy.
……
At noon the next day, when the sun was shining brightly, Ling Mohui stepped into the famous Yashiju, which was a very elegant restaurant in the capital.
The moment she pushed open the door, her eyes were involuntarily attracted to Fu Yansheng who was sitting in the inner room.
At the same time, Yuan Jiacheng and Zou Boyuan also appeared in the field of vision. The three of them looked at each other, and Yuan Jiacheng was particularly surprised: "Young Madam, why are you here?"
There was disbelief in his tone. After all, this box should have been the place where Zheng Jiaxuan and Xu Yanqing had agreed to meet.
Ling Mohui was about to explain when a cheerful voice suddenly came from the corridor: "Mrs. Fu!"
That was Xu Yanqing's voice, unexpectedly clear.
Ling Mo turned her head and saw Xu Yanqing sticking his head out from the adjacent private room with a big smile on his face.
She raised her eyes again to confirm the house number and couldn't help but chuckle. There was an apology in her laughter: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I went to the wrong room."
This scene was seen by Fu Yansheng, whose wine glass in his hand was almost broken by anger: "Ling Mohui, you met with the Xu family in private again!"
Ling Mo smiled and asked, "You can enjoy delicious food outside, why can't I?"
After she finished speaking, she didn't even glance at Fu Yansheng, but turned around and stepped into the box where Xu Yanqing was without hesitation.
Inside the private room, a table of carefully selected delicacies had already been prepared, and Xu Yanqing had been waiting for a long time.
While Ling Mohui savored the delicious food, she carefully examined the layout map of Zi Yan Building spread out on the table by Xu Yanqing. That was the key to their action.
Xu Yanqing seemed a little helpless and shook his head: "To be honest, I know very little about the women in Ziyan Tower, otherwise we might be able to win over a few of them and obtain the information we need."
Zheng Jiaxuan pondered for a moment and offered a suggestion: "How about letting me pretend to be a woman and explore the way?"
His proposal was full of confidence and adventure.
Hearing this, Xu Yanqing smiled and nodded in agreement: "Brother Lu, you have a handsome appearance and a gentle voice. You are indeed very suitable for playing this role."
Indeed, Zheng Jiaxuan's voice is more delicate and gentle because he has not yet reached the voice change period.
"So, what does Madam Fu think?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Ling Mohui, who had been enjoying the food silently, waiting for her opinion.
Ling Mohui finally put down her chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and wiped the residue from the corners of her mouth elegantly. With a sly look in her eyes, she slowly looked at Zheng Jiaxuan: "Why don't you dance for me first?"
Her proposal caught Zheng Jiaxuan off guard.
"This... I've never learned to dance!" Zheng Jiaxuan's face was full of embarrassment, and he was obviously unprepared for this sudden test.
Ling Mohui raised a playful smile and deliberately raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't this exactly the problem? If you can't dance, you will be easily exposed. Then won't the mission be full of risks?"
Xu Yanqing was in a dilemma for a moment: "What should I do? How about I go? But I know nothing about dancing!"
His face was full of helplessness.
Ling Mohui didn't care, and took another sip of wine, looking confident: "In that case, I'll go!"
There was unquestionable determination in her words.
"No!" Zheng Jiaxuan refused almost reflexively. He raised his head abruptly and looked at Ling Mo firmly. "Absolutely not. We have to find another way."
As far as Ling Mohui could remember, this was the first time she had seen such a resolute and serious expression since Zheng Jiaxuan entered Bailingxuan.
Xu Yanqing took a deep breath, a barely perceptible worry gathered between his brows, and a bit of helplessness was mixed in his steady voice. He slowly said: "Time is like the sand in an hourglass, every second counts. We seem to have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, with no way to retreat."
Ling Mohui resolutely stood up from the chair, her figure straight, her eyes as firm as torches, looking straight at Zheng Jiaxuan, her words loud and clear: "Are you so willing to give up your hatred and vengeance? Do you still want to seek justice for your wronged parents?"
