Reborn Villain's Creed
Chapter 34 Looking for Other Men
The college entrance examination is a time node.
It is a node that determines where students will go next, and it is also a node where parents have reaped the rewards for more than a decade.
These two points are no exception for Mo Wan.
Because no one was supervising her, Mo Wan went to bed very late and was woken up by several phone calls the next day.
She suppressed her bad temper when she woke up, and under the dual persuasion of her new parents and housekeeper, she had to attend the so-called graduation celebration party.
What is there to celebrate?
If she hadn't been packed up and sent back to China by Zhan Chengfeng, she would have had no choice but to choose a junior college or repeat a year.
But she didn't tell the housekeeper that she only wrote one choice, she only told him the score.
The new parents probably heard about the results from the housekeeper and started making plans to celebrate.
Mo Wan didn't want them to worry unnecessarily, so he struggled to get up and went to the restaurant they had booked.
The restaurant was very luxurious and crowded, and it was obvious that her new parents were very happy and valued her.
Mo Wan looked at Mo Xuefeng, Mo Xueling, their parents, and some unimportant relatives whom he had never met, and they lowered their heads to eat under the boasting and praise of Mo Hongwei and Zhang Yumei.
To be honest, the only ones who were truly happy in the whole place were her new parents and the housekeeper; everyone else was just there to join in the fun.
After all, Mo Hongwei and Zhang Yumei had a child whom they neither gave birth to nor raised. The fact that he did well in the exam was just because they were old relatives and friends, so they praised him a little as a way of giving them face.
Mo Wan didn't say much during the whole process due to their hypocritical and polite compliments. Fortunately, Uncle Zhong smoothed things over for her and prevented the situation from being too awkward.
When the meal is almost finished.
Zhang Yumei asked nervously, "Wanwan, the exam is over now. When are you planning to move back home?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at her husband and said with a smile, "We were worried that it would affect your studies, but now that the college entrance examination is over, you can move back when you have time."
Mo Hongwei also said with a smile: "Yes, Wanwan, the room has been cleaned. Your mother has replaced the quilt and clothes with new ones. When it is convenient for you, we will go to Mr. Zhan's place to pick you up."
The purpose of this meal is not only to celebrate the child's promotion to higher education, but also to bring her home.
As soon as Zhang Yumei and Mo Hongwei said this, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became subtle.
Mo Xuefeng and Mo Xueling exchanged glances, but no one spoke.
Friends and relatives also put down their wine glasses and chopsticks.
Zhang Yumei and Mo Hongwei didn't have much money, and all the money they earned in their early years was used to buy houses.
Although this house is old, with the development over the past few decades, the location has become better and better. If someone has the money to tear it down and rebuild it, that would be quite enviable.
Originally, after the death of their two elders, most of these things went to Mo Hongwei's younger brother's family, and other relatives could also get a little bit.
but now……
They were both about to be buried, and adopting a child made things complicated.
There was a stalemate at the table for a few seconds.
Mo Hongshou agreed with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law and eldest brother are right. It's time for Wanwan to move back home. Our Mo family now has a top student who is good at studying. How can we live in someone else's house every day?"
His wife, Lan Xiaoying, also said, "Yes, it's not good for a girl to live with a grown man." She said this to Mo Wan affectionately, "Wan Wan, you're a girl, and so beautiful. Don't get too close to those questionable men."
Did they just find out that Zhan Chengfeng is a man?
Mo Wan looked at Mo Hongshou and his wife without saying a word.
Seeing the young master's displeasure, Zhong Guohui spoke up to explain. "Mr. Zhan, Wei Ge, and Mei Ge also know him. He's a trustworthy person. But as you two said, it's not good to always live in someone else's house."
Lan Xiaoying said, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Who knows if he can really be trusted? Besides, you men, think carefully, do you dare to say that you are really good people?"
How did this move suddenly involve a man? He was also scolded for no apparent reason.
The men at the table had different expressions on their faces and ignored her.
Lan Xiaoying still thinks she is smart and keeps talking about her big ideas.
Mo Wan could no longer sit still.
She told her new parents that she had something to do and left.
Most of the guests expressed understanding for her sudden departure, but a few were sarcastic, saying that the child was impolite.
After hearing this, Zhong Guohui quickly smiled and spoke well of her.
Although he also did not agree with the young master's behavior, she was already giving him face by being able to endure it until now.

Mo Wan left the restaurant, walked among the crowd, looked at the bustling and prosperous streets around him, and thought about his next plan.
The dinner just now was not without gain.
If she agreed to be adopted by Mo Hongwei and Zhang Yumei, she would have a legitimate excuse to stay here, and Zhan Chengfeng could not insist on sending her back to China.
But—there are so many ways to stay here, is it necessary to drag the new parents into danger?
With her current abilities, she couldn't protect any of them.
Mo Wan walked for a while and felt a little hot.
She looked up at the sun shining brightly and saw a small church nearby. After thinking for a moment, she walked in.
The church is small, with few tourists and believers, and is very quiet.
Mo Wan strolled around casually and just as he sat down on a shady step, his cell phone rang.
It's a new number.
Mo Wan hesitated for a moment and then picked up the phone.
It belongs to Luo Shi.
Mo Wan heard his voice and checked the time again. "Your call is earlier than I expected."
She just gave me the number two days ago, and now he's calling her in broad daylight. It can't be that he's asking her out for afternoon tea.
Luo Shi paused and said, "Master, it might not be safe here recently. Please let me know when you come over later."
Mo Wan didn't care much. "I'm busy. I don't have time to go for the time being."
Luo Shi was puzzled. "The college entrance examination is over, and there is no homework. What are you busy with?"
Mo Wan thought of the policeman who had been beaten to pieces, yet still managed to crawl back to the police car with his fortitude. She said without hesitation, "Find another man."
Luo Shi said: "You really didn't betray me at all."
Mo Wan didn't feel any moral guilt. "My father taught me since I was a kid not to put all my eggs in one basket."
Don't put all your eggs in one basket; her safety must be guaranteed on multiple levels.
Zhan Chengfeng is unreliable and can't protect her 24 hours a day.
Luo Shi is just a business partner, and he is a little young. If he is targeted by any gang, he will probably be unable to protect himself, so how can he have the energy to care about her?
She doesn't have the money to hire bodyguards of the level of Zhan Chengfeng and Bai Yu now, so she has to find some young and tough ones, otherwise who will help her with the things that will happen later?
As for Uncle Zhong...his old bones are no longer suitable for fighting and killing.
Mo Wan finished teasing and returned to the topic. "Do you know who is causing trouble for you?"
Luo Shi hesitated. "I heard Butler Ke is looking for me."
Ke Mingjiao was most likely looking for him because of the night Fuzai kidnapped her.
If you run away from under his nose, it would be strange if he doesn't vent his anger on you.
Mo Wan glanced at the occasional tourists passing by, then stood up and walked around, saying, "When the sound of thunder reaches your ears, it means it has started to rain."
Luo Shi said: "I am looking for a way to avoid being rained on."
Mo Wan stated indifferently, "This is a continuous downpour. Taking shelter might be the best option."
Luo Shi corrected her. "It's the only way, not a choice."
If that housekeeper Ke really knew that it was him who rescued the young master of Hongmen from right under his nose, no matter how good he was at hiding, he probably wouldn't be able to hide for many days.
Now I just hope it’s just rumors and not a real rainstorm.
Mo Wan listened to Luo Shi's words, not sure whether he called because he was really worried about her, or to remind her indirectly of the price he paid to save her.
Mo Wan looked at the Bodhi tree in the backyard of the church and was undecided for a moment.
While she was thinking silently, many people suddenly gathered around the trash can outside the church door.
