Chapter 125:Going to the Beauty Salon

After a pause, Mo Zhu added, “I don’t want to trouble the Huo family because of personal matters. This has always been my aim and principles.”

Jiang Yan had also expected Mo Zhu’s answer. He pursed his lips like he always did. “You’ve been like this since you were young. Just like the time when I first saw you more than ten years ago. I didn’t expect that after so many years, there hasn’t been any change.”

Mo Zhu turned her head and did not continue the conversation. She really did not know what to say.

The girl’s cold appearance made Jiang Yan’s heart ache for no reason. He pondered for a while and changed the topic. “How’s Jiang Yu? After that incident back then, I only know that she was brought to Cloud City. I’m not sure about the rest of the details.”

Upon hearing Jiang Yan mention Jiang Yu, Mo Zhu thought for a moment and decided to hide the matter that happened the last time. She paused for a moment and replied plainly, “Pretty good Uncle Jiang. Xiao Yu is also studying at Jingyang High School now. Her grades are not bad too, and she should be able to go to a good university next year.”

Jiang Yan heaved a sigh of relief and he also smiled in relief.

After experiencing the same bad incident, he was really glad that Jiang Yu could walk out of the pain she had suffered back then.

Jiang Yu was different from Mo Zhu. She had a weak personality since she was young and she had always been soft spoken. Compared to Mo Zhu’s strength, he was more worried that Jiang Yu would be constantly bullied.

However, since Mo Zhu said that she was doing well, he felt relieved.

Unconsciously, he recalled the past. Jiang Yan carefully looked at Mo Zhu, who was sitting quietly opposite him, and asked tentatively, “Ms. Mo, have you investigated the matter back then? About Xiao Yu’s parents…”

Jiang Yan stopped speaking when he reached this point. He knew that with Mo Zhu’s intelligence, she would definitely be able to understand what he wanted to express through his words.

Mo Zhu scratched her head in frustration and shook her head with a dark expression. “No. If I find out who did it, I’ll definitely avenge Uncle Jiang and Auntie Jiang with my own hands!”

Knowing Mo Zhu’s persistence, Jiang Yan did not say anything else. He knew that it might not be of much use to persuade the girl to stop. Since she wanted to do it, he might as well lend her a hand when she needed it. This way, it would solve one of his worries.

Nodding, Jiang Yan was about to exhort her again when Mo Zhu, who was sitting opposite him, took out her phone and looked at the time. She then stood up and said, “Uncle Jiang, it’s getting late. I have something to deal with later, so I won’t be chatting with you for now. If there’s any progress, please give me a call.”

Without waiting for Jiang Yan’s reply, Mo Zhu turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cafe.

As he watched Mo Zhu’s back view disappear rapidly in front of his eyes, Jiang Yan sighed deeply again.

Mo Zhu was clearly in her teens like her peers, but she was different from others and always liked to do dangerous things. Other girls liked to embroider and dance, but she just loved weapons and computers.

Rubbing his temples quietly, Jiang Yan also picked up his briefcase and left Huaxing Building quickly.

Chen Man set the time for the engagement banquet to be on Tuesday. For this, she specially called the form teacher of Class Eight, Li Xiao, as Mo Zhu’s parent and asked for a day of leave.

That morning, before dawn, Chen Man rushed to the Huo residence and knocked on Mo Zhu’s door.

As the banquet had only officially started at night, Chen Man planned to bring Mo Zhu to the beauty salon to take care of her skin and do a getup. It was also a good chance to chat with her daughter-in-law and improve their relationship.

When she heard Chen Man’s voice coming from outside the door, although Mo Zhu was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to wake up. In order not to let Chen Man dampen her spirits, she stood up with sleepy eyes and opened the door.

“Xiao Zhu, listen to me. Let’s not sleep in today. I will bring you out to take care of your skin and put on beautiful makeup. Tonight, you must amaze everyone with your appearance during the banquet!”

Chen Man held onto Mo Zhu’s hand and started to give her a long speech.

Mo Zhu rubbed the center of her brows and nodded obediently. “Auntie, you’re right. I’ll get up and wash up before following you out.”

Seeing how obedient Mo Zhu was, Chen Man smiled in relief. “Good, good. I will wait for you in the living room downstairs. Come downstairs after you’re done packing. We’ll set off immediately.”

After saying this, Chen Man did not rush her any further and turned to walk downstairs. Mo Zhu rubbed her eyes silently, opened the door of the washroom and walked straight in.

Not long later, the two of them left the Huo Mansion and asked Uncle Zhang to send them there. Once they got into the car, Chen Man started talking to Mo Zhu about how good the skills of the beauty salon she chose were and how serious and responsible the beauticians there were.

While nodding with a smile, Mo Zhu turned to look out the window.

It was only when the car stopped at the entrance of a luxurious beauty salon that Chen Man stopped introducing the specialty of this place to Mo Zhu. Following closely behind the woman, Mo Zhu opened the door and got out of the car skillfully.
