From Dusk till Dawn!

Chapter 357: Suit-wearing thief

Mo Jia looked at the old man before shaking her head seriously, "Maybe you should just go back to your place and take a good rest."

Grandpa Tang was speechless, "Why can't you just invite me inside?"

"Thieves and burglars do like to dress up in suits and pretend to be a gentleman. They often come around as pretending to be relatives too. I can't take the risk," She said while scanning the old man from head to toe.

Assistant Rin: "_" Who are you calling a thief, lady?

The old man stroked his beard as if he was not insulted just now but a nerve on his forehead twitched, "Why have you not chased me out till now? Why bother entertaining me?"

"Can't afford to offend you in case you are Yichen's true relative," Mo Jia replied with a straight face.

Lady, you are embarking on the path of offending him. Stop there right now, Assistant Rin wanted to shout but he restrained himself in time.

Grandpa Tang narrowed his eyes, "If it had been a thief, do you think you would be standing here safe and sound?"

"Yes, my bodyguard is here to protect me."

As if on cue, Nian Zhen's head peeked out from the wall behind before he disappeared.

"Are you Mo Huizong's granddaughter?" asked the old man coldly.

Assistant Rin was astonished. Isn't Mo Huizong the Old Master of Mo Family? 

Mo Jia blinked, "You know my grandfather? Who are you?"

The old man pursed his lips. So, his guess was on point. Her features reminded him of the Mo family at first glance. So, she is indeed that old man's granddaughter. No wonder, she was pushing his buttons for the last few minutes.

"Girl, what is your relationship with my grandson?"

"Grandson?" Mo Jia's mind blanked out for a few seconds, "You…You are the business prodigy, Sir Tang Cheng?" No wonder she found him familiar when she saw his face but she was not able to put a finger on where she has seen him.

When he was admitted to Mo Globals, he looked very different, sickly and thin and at first glance, one would take him for a senile old man because of his overgrown mustache and beard. But right now, he was well-groomed and at one glance, he looked like a man of noble identity. 

Furthermore, she has seen him nearly a decade ago which is why she did not recognize him just now.

"No, I am just a suit-wearing thief pretending to be your relative."

"_"

"Please come inside," Mo Jia helped them towards the couch in the living room.

Suddenly, Mo Jia bent her body at ninety-degree as she bowed in front of him, "I have always admired you. I hope that Grandfather won't be offended by my actions."

"G-Grandfather?" The old man's stammered. What is up with this stoic-faced enthusiasm? "You…Stand straight first."

Mo Jia stood up straight before speaking up, "Grandfather, let me introduce myself first. I am Mo Jia, Tang Yichen's lawfully wedded wife, and your granddaughter-in-law."

The old man's jaws dropped in disbelief, "Was it a flash marriage?"

Mo Jia nodded, "How do you know?''

Grandpa Tang glared at Assistant Rin with a 'Investigate if my granddaughter is having a flash child'. The term 'flash' has become fright to him. 

Assistant Rin nodded, still shocked by the unexpected turns of the situation.

"Grandfather, are you angry with me?" Mo Jia took a seat beside him.

"No, I am just thinking things," The old man even smiled at her.

As a woman who lacked a little…okay, a lot in the EQ department, Mo Jia smiled back unaware of what was going in the man's mind.

Grandpa Tang could feel his insides almost bursting out because of how angry he was but he didn't show it on his face, not wanting to scare Mo Jia.

Grandpa Tang looked at Mo Jia, "Girl, didn't I mention an actress outside?"

"Yes, you did. I thought you have mistaken me for someone else."

The old man smiled kindly but somehow Assistant Rin got goosebumps. "Yes, I thought you were her."

"Who?" asked Mo Jia curiously.

"Yichen's first love, his true love. They were like pair of mandarin ducks who refused to be separated. But I stepped between them and tore them apart. She left with that money back then and I thought she came back again to my grandson right now," He said with a solemn expression on his face.

"It was cruel of you to split them apart," she expressionlessly muttered.

Assistant Rin choked on the water, "Cough… Cough…"

Grandpa Tang shook his head, "I am very cruel. Anyways, I heard she was in contact with my grandson recently."

Mo Jia blinked, "Eh?" But they were already married for more than a month, why would he still meet his ex?

'Tang Li, Tang Yichen, you stinky rascals. How dare you lie to me? Ordinary actress? Poor girl? Is that how you describe the daughter of Mo Family?' He almost smashed the coffee table but calmed himself at the last moment.

He would not be able to punish his mischievous granddaughter, but that did not mean he would let go of her accomplice in all this.

Tang Yichen suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose slightly before looking at the takeout on the passenger seat, "I'll surprise her."

In the hospital.

''Achooooo..." Tang Li sneezed all of a sudden, her nose felt slightly itchy. Grabbing Mo Yuhan's arm with both her hands, she gently tugged at his clothes and he leaned towards her. She rubbed the tip of her nose on his suit, "Were you cursing me in your heart?"

"I didn't," He softly muttered before helping her head on the pillow.

"Who else then?" She narrowed her eyes.

"You are superstitious."

She sighed, "Fine fine, don't stop. I still want to know everything. Continue speaking." Who knows when will this guy change his mind about letting her know the truth.

It was better to extract every information out of him when there is a chance.
