A trace of warmth flashed across his eyes as Mo Beihan looked at the Old Master, and thought of his grandmother.

Although his father was not great, his grandparents had really been good to him.

However…

He could not possibly return to the Mo family now. Yao Yao was still here. He had to keep her company and he was in no mood to deal with that mother and son pair.

Mo Beihan said, “I think it's better if I remain here! I'm not familiar with the Mo family. I need to stay here and work. My friends and relatives are all here.”

Old Master Mo: “…”

What could he do?

He wanted to bring his grandson home?

Old Master Mo tried to coax him. “In that case… Since you're so capable, why don't I find you a job in the capital? As for your… your friends and relatives, why not… bring them to the capital with you. Will that do?”

Old Master Mo began to pretend to be pitiful. “Han Han! Please come home with Grandfather! I really like you. I really want to make it up to you. Look at how old I am. How many more years can I live? Please come home and keep me company.

“And your grandmother. If you don't come home, she will be heartbroken.”

Mo Beihan's lips twitched. He thought, Not to worry. You will live a long life and will certainly see Yao Yao and I marry and have many children.

Mo Beihan said, “My mother is still living in the countryside. I am all she has. I cannot possibly abandon her.”

Old Master Mo: “…”

“She became a laughingstock after my father left. As a lone woman in a village, she put all her effort into working and raising me. It wasn't easy for her to raise me, and she was so exhausted she now has many illnesses. I will never abandon her.”

Old Master Mo once again mentally dragged Mo Huai over and punched him. That heartless creature had abandoned his wife and children and had failed to mention it after so many years. It was truly chilling.

“You can bring her to the capital too. I will arrange somewhere for you to stay, all right? Han Han, you are a descendant of the Mo family. You have a right to enjoy the benefits of being part of our family. Isn't it hard for you, striving here, all by yourself?

“Come back to the capital with me. I will give you an even better arena for your talents. As long as you have the ability, I guarantee you will do even better than you are now.

“Your mother worked so hard to raise you. She must hope to see you succeed, right?

“You have a share in the Mo family's resources. Why should you give that up?”

But Mo Beihan was adamant. “Give me some time. After a few years, I will certainly go to the capital to visit you.”

Old Master Mo was not happy. He could not bear to let him go!

The more he looked at this eldest grandson, the more he liked him. From the moment he entered the door, his expression, his bearing, and the steady way in which he dealt with things, all pleased the Old Master. Compared to those rascals at home, he was truly likable!

With that preface, it was time for Mo Beihan to put on a pitiful act.

“Grandfather, I can tell that you sincerely want to help me. I'm very grateful!”

“No need to be grateful!” Old Master Mo hastened to wave away his thanks. “I am the one who has let you down. You have suffered for so many years because I did not know of your existence.”

Mo Beihan smiled very calmly. “No matter how difficult it was, I have survived and grown up. My father has never mentioned me over the years. Clearly, he has no wish to see me. He is already married with a child. What will he think if I go back now?

“As you say, the Mo family is an important family, isn't it? I'm sure the woman he married is not so easy to deal with. If I bring my mother along to the capital, she will be bullied in the future.”

Old Master Mo's mouth twitched. “She wouldn't dare. I'm around and I'll deal with her.”

Mo Beihan shook his head. “It's not the same!”
