The taste of the mung bean soup was mediocre.

Nevertheless, out of respect for Zheng Xianjing’s effort, the two elders gulped down the soup in one go.

“Grandma, let me wipe your mouth.” Zheng Xianjing handed over a clean handkerchief in a timely manner.

Elder Lady Mo teased from the side: “Indeed, a biological grandmother is a biological grandmother. Look at her, handing bowls and offering handkerchiefs. Me, a stranger, cannot enjoy such a privilege.”

Biological grandmother?

There was a cold sneer in Zheng Xianjing’s heart.

Elder Lady Zheng never treated her as a biological granddaughter.

This appellation was truly ironic!

Zheng Xianjing remarked with a smile, “Granny Mo, once Xiaodie is better, she will definitely be even more filial than me.”

Of course, Elder Lady Mo liked hearing this comment.

She also firmly believed that Mo Hudie would definitely recover.

It had to be said, Zheng Xianjing was indeed a pleasing person, she knew how to win the favor of the elderly.

In fact, since the day her mother had informed her that she and Elder Lady Zheng did not share any blood relation, she had started being cautious, afraid of offending these two elders with her words or actions.

Therefore, her obedient and considerate behavior over these years was all a facade.

Because she had to please these two elders of the Zheng family, only then would she have the chance to inherit everything from the Zheng family.

However, today, upon hearing Elder Lady Zheng’s words, she felt an unprecedented threat.

From Elder Lady Zheng’s words, it was not difficult to deduce that all these years they had been searching for that lost biological daughter, it was just that they had never found her.

But what if…

What if one day they did find her?

What would their family do then?

Therefore, she must find a way to make the elderly couple of the Zheng family draft their will sooner than later.

Otherwise, she would never be able to rest easy.

All that the Zheng family owned was hers!

Why should she have to give it all away?

Thinking of this, a faint light flashed in Zheng Xianjing’s eyes.

At this moment, the door was pushed open once again.

A kind-faced middle-aged woman walked in from outside the door.

“Mom, Auntie Mo.”

“Lingling is here,” Elder Lady Mo greeted with a broad smile.

The person who came was none other than Elder Lady Zheng’s adopted daughter, Zheng Lingling.

As soon as Zheng Lingling arrived, she stood behind Elder Lady Zheng, massaging her shoulders.

Elder Lady Mo praised her non-stop, saying how filial Zheng Lingling was.

Zheng Xianjing continued, “My mom is massaging grandma. Grandma Mo, let me massage you. I have recently learned a new massage technique.”

As Zheng Xianjing spoke, she began to massage Elder Lady Mo.

Elder Lady Mo was so pleased that her mouth curled up in a smile.

This mother-daughter duo massaged the elders quietly, not disturbing their conversation.

Elder Lady Mo, under Zheng Xianjing’s massage, blissfully closed her eyes.

As if suddenly reminded of something, Elder Lady Zheng asked: “Aruan, how has your sixth child been lately?”

At these words, a glint of light flashed across Zheng Xianjing’s usually tranquil gaze.

Elder Lady Mo closed her eyes and said disappointedly, “Still the same, entirely useless.”

Elder Lady Zheng let out a sigh, “All your children are so talented, it’s just the sixth one who…” who has turned out to be utterly good-for-nothing?

Elder Lady Mo had a total of six children.

Five sons and one daughter.

The ‘sixth one’ mentioned by Elder Lady Zheng, was Elder Lady Mo’s youngest son, and also the son causing her the most worry.

Each of the other five children of the Mo family, including grandson Mo Baichuan, were influential figures in Beijing.

This sixth child, he is the least impressive of the Mo Family.

Well, him.

He never went to college.

Never held a job.

Even now, he’s still an idle drifter.

He basically just eats and waits for death, wandering around, often not returning home for several months, even a year.

Because of this, he’s become a joke among the aristocratic circles in Beijing.

“Ugh, don’t even mention him!” Lady Mo sighed irritably. “That boy is such a headache!”

Lady Zheng patted Lady Mo’s hand, consoling her, “Don’t worry too much about it, everyone grows and develops at their own pace.”

“Forget it,” muttered Lady Mo scornfully, “I’ve given up on hoping he’ll make anything of himself in my lifetime!”

Mrs. Zheng glanced at her daughter’s expressions quietly; she has been observing for a while now. Each time they mentioned this disrespectful sixth child of the Mo Family, her daughter, Zheng Xianjing seems a bit off.

Although this good-for-nothing sixth child of Mo Family doesn’t possess much talent, he is indeed blessed with good looks.

It couldn’t be, her daughter, has taken a liking to the worthless Sixth of Mo Family?

Zheng Lingling faintly felt worried…

Her daughter should aim to marry someone of Song Beicheng’s or Mo Baichuan’s status, not end up with the incompetent sixth of Mo Family!

No way!

She had to banish this absurd idea from her daughter’s mind immediately.

Therefore, during lunch, Zheng Lingling finally found a chance to talk to her daughter privately.

“Xianjing,” Zheng Lingling called out to Zheng Xianjing.

“What’s the matter, mom?” Zheng Xianjing turned back.

With a hushed voice, Zheng Lingling asked, “Your mom wants to know, have you fallen for the Sixth of Mo Family?”

Zheng Xianjing replied a bit awkwardly, “No.”

“No?” Zheng Lingling narrowed her eyes. “Xianjing, you’re my daughter. I can tell what you’re thinking. Listen to me, you must quit this absurd idea right now! If you have time, put in more efforts towards Song Beicheng or Mo Baichuan! Either one of them would be a thousand times better than that Sixth of Mo Family!”

Finishing her words, Zheng Lingling continued sincerely, “Xianjing, your mother struggled to make a life like this. I hope you can always stay on top of the world. That sixth of Mo Family, all he knows is to ask for money from his family, what can he possibly provide you?”

Zheng Xianjing obediently nodded her head, “Okay, mom. 1 understand.”

Of course, she wants to stay on top!

In fact, she wants to be at the very top!

It’s just that there are certain things she doesn’t feel comfortable discussing with her mother.

Just when Zheng Lingling was about to say something else, Zheng Xianjing preempted her. “Oh mom, I heard something today.”

“What was it?” Zheng Lingling quickly asked.

Zheng Xianjing continued, “I heard that old woman has been secretly looking for her biological daughter for years. I’m worried…”

Zheng Lingling frowned severely, “Those two troublemakers! I’ve been nothing but good to them, and they still treat us as outsiders. Xianjing, don’t worry. As long as your mom’s here, 1 won’t let anyone take anything that belongs to us!”

With her mother’s very promise, Zheng Xianjing felt relieved.

Over on Yurtist Road’s morning market.

Probably because the market was not bustling today, Ni Yang only managed to sell all of her 500 bowls of noodles around noon.

After cleaning up her stall, she rode her bicycle to the Vegetable Market.

On the way, she conveniently passed by the newly opened Sour Fish stall.

It was approaching lunchtime, not only was the place filled with noodle eaters, but there was also a long queue forming.

But what surprised her more was the owner of this stall.

The person wasn’t someone else; it was Zhu Yonghong’s mother, Sun Chunxiang, who was arrested a month ago.

With Zhu Yonghong still in jail, Sun Chunxiang had a middle-aged man helping her who bore a look similar to Zhu Yonghong. She assumed that this man was Zhu Yonghong’s father.

What an interesting family.

The daughter hires thugs to destroy the competition, while the parents directly turn into copiers.

When she noticed that Ni Yang passed by this place, Sun Chunxiang kept her head high and called out with a triumph in her voice, “Come on everybody, delicious Pickled Fish Noodles! Just 0.25 yuan a bowl! Only 0..25 yuan a bowl!”
