My wife is amazing.
Chapter 71 Dark Dinner
Mo Lingxue had almost finished cooking and had just put the dishes on the table when Shiwu led Mo Yuan in.
"Second Young Master." Luo Shen quickly stood up, looking extremely respectful.
Mo Yuan handed the coat to Fifteen, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips, and said, "It's really kind of you to come all this way."
Mo Yuan rarely stood on ceremony with people, so Luo Shen assumed that he was grateful for his help in investigating the kidnapping case and said with a smile, "Second Young Master, you're too polite. I also treat Miss Xiaoxue like a younger sister."
"younger sister?"
Mo Yuan still wore a faint smile, but his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. There was no smile in his dark eyes, only indifference and inquiry.
Luo Shen felt a chill run down his spine, almost thinking that Mo Yuan knew something.
But that is absolutely impossible.
Luo Shen's smile deepened as he handed over a thick file folder, saying, "Second Young Master, the information inside might answer your questions."
The information here was all pre-designed by him. The two brothers, the eldest son of the Mo family, were not as estranged as rumored; in fact, they had a very good relationship.
However, the eldest son of the Mo family was in poor health and had been living abroad for many years, which led to rumors that the two of them "did not have any contact".
Brothers working together is no good for outsiders. Madam Jiang knew this, so she tried to create discord between the two men so that they would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
However, Mo Yuan was a difficult person to deal with and even more difficult to fool, and he had no weaknesses. So they had no choice but to turn their attention to the innocent and carefree Mo Lingxue. But they never expected that Mo Lingxue would be rescued.
However, Luo Shen handed out the file bag for a long time, but Mo Yuan didn't take it. He couldn't help but look up at Mo Yuan in confusion.
Mo Yuan simply stared at him quietly, neither reaching out nor asking anyone else to help him. Those unfathomable black eyes made him feel completely exposed, as if he had been seen through from the inside out.
Luo Shen's heart pounded. What did Mo Yuan mean by this? Why was he giving him such a hard time out of the blue? Did he really know something?
Although Luo Shen was uneasy, he also knew that Mo Yuan was intelligent and cunning, and this was very likely just a test. He must not show any guilt in front of him, otherwise Mo Yuan might really suspect him.
Thinking of this, he forced himself to remain calm and placed the file bag in his hand on the coffee table next to him, smiling as he said, "I've put the things here. Well, Mr. Mo... if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"Uncle Luo, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" He Suye came out of the kitchen, carrying the last bowl of soup, and said, "Xiaoxue said she made a few extra dishes today, and we can't finish them all, so she asked you to stay and eat with us."
Mo Lingxue didn't know why He Suye said that, but since the goddess had invited Luo Shen, she certainly wouldn't refuse. She said warmly, "Luo Shen, let's have dinner together."
Luo Shen didn't want to stay here a minute longer. He feigned apology and said, "It would be my honor to have you stay for dinner, but unfortunately I have other appointments today..."
"Do you think our family isn't worthy of letting you stay for dinner?" Mo Yuan spoke slowly, without looking at him, but his voice was extremely cold.
Luo Shen knew that refusing again would seem suspicious, so he had no choice but to agree: "What did Young Master Mo say? I'll tell that friend right away and reschedule with him for another day."
Mo Yuan glanced at him, then walked past him expressionlessly toward the dining table.
With the bowls and chopsticks set out, it was finally time to officially start the meal.
Because there were guests present, Fifteen also stepped aside and stood, so there were only four people eating, including Luo Shen.
"Try the braised beef brisket I just learned to make today!" Mo Lingxue used serving chopsticks to pick up the largest piece of beef brisket and was about to put it in He Suye's bowl.
He Suye suddenly said, "Xiaoxue, Uncle Luo is an elder, you should give him the best piece of meat."
Upon hearing this, Fifteen tried hard to suppress his laughter, but the corners of his mouth still involuntarily curled up.
“You’re right, Uncle Luo, here you go.” Mo Lingxue didn’t really consider Luo Shen an elder; she always called him by his first name, since Luo Shen was young and his status was not as high as that of the Mo family.
But whatever He Suye said went, and she smiled as she handed the beef brisket to Luo Shen.
Luo Shen had noticed Fifteen's expression long ago. After taking the bowl of beef brisket with both hands, he wondered to himself: No matter how arrogant the Mo family is, they can't possibly poison him. The beef brisket should be fine, but what's with Fifteen's expression?
As he hesitated, He Suye spoke up: "Uncle Luo, why aren't you eating?"
Luo Shen didn't know what was strange about the beef brisket, but seeing He Suye staring at him, he had a bad feeling. However, since Mo Lingxue had personally picked up the beef brisket, he would be disrespecting the Mo family if he didn't eat it.
With no other option, Luo Shen gave a dry laugh and stuffed the beef brisket into his mouth.
As soon as he put it in his mouth, his expression changed, because the beef brisket was bitter! Not only was it bitter, but it was also so salty that his tongue went numb.
He had never eaten anything so awful!
Just as he was about to vomit, He Suye spoke with a half-smile: "How is it? Is Xiaoxue's cooking alright?"
Mo Lingxue looked at Luo Shen expectantly.
Luo Shen's face twitched slightly, but he tried his best to maintain a smile: "Miss Xiaoxue's cooking skills are excellent..."
He didn't want to taste that strange flavor again, so he gritted his teeth and swallowed it whole. But then he noticed how tough the beef brisket was. He swallowed hard, and the piece got stuck in his throat, neither going up nor down, making it hard for him to breathe.
He hurriedly went to get some water, and He Suye kindly handed him a glass. He quickly took it and swallowed it, then coughed up the next second.
"Cough cough... This is... this is wine!"
He Suye asked in surprise, "Weren't you just about to drink?"
"You..." Luo Shen wanted to curse, but the beef brisket was still stuck there. He had no choice but to pound his chest with his fist and finally managed to swallow the damn beef brisket.
When he recovered, he found that everyone at the table was looking at him with strange eyes—Luo Shen had been pounding his chest and stamping his feet, and his cheeks were flushed, making him look just like a monkey.
He Suye couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Xiaoxue, Uncle Luo seems to really like your braised beef brisket. I wonder if you'd be willing to give him the whole plate?"
"Of course I'm willing!" Mo Lingxue had never seen anyone so supportive of her food before, and she happily carried the beef brisket over herself.
Luo Shen accepted it with a stiff smile, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at He Suye.
He Suye smiled kindly at him, picked up her chopsticks, and put a piece of green vegetable into her bowl.
Luo Shen, of course, refused to touch the beef brisket again and simply followed He Suye in picking up some vegetables. But as soon as he put the vegetables in his mouth, his face turned red—it was so sweet, so sweet it made him feel nauseous!
He thought it tasted bad, and He Suye probably thought it tasted bad too. He quickly swallowed the vegetables, wanting to see He Suye make a fool of herself.
He had already planned it out. Once He Suye showed any sign of displeasure, he would seize the opportunity to exaggerate and stir up trouble. With his words, it would be too easy for him to incite Mo Lingxue's dissatisfaction with He Suye.
He won't even need to lift a finger; Mo Yuan won't let her off easily!
