Chapter 151 Unexplained Worry
Uncle Tian talked for a long time and the four of them listened for a long time. Uncle Tian's words were all praise for his own daughter, which showed that he was probably another daughter slave.
Uncle Tian smiled slightly and continued, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not. My daughter has been a little confused recently, and an old man like me doesn't know the specific details."
"The little girl back then has grown up now. She doesn't want an old man like me to help her. Sister Ganyu will have to go to Yuehai Pavilion to meet her and give her some pointers."
Gan Yu nodded and said, "Okay, helping the Seven Stars of all generations out of trouble has always been within my scope of responsibility. However, Uncle Tian, given your current reputation, you should not call me Sister Gan Yu."
Uncle Tian Hao Yan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you that, I just got used to it when I was young. When I first took the position of Seven Stars, I really needed your care."
Paimeng suddenly realized, "So you have been friends for decades. No wonder you two seem so familiar with each other."
Gan Yu didn't seem to want to dwell on the topic of age, and immediately said, "Let's go to Yuehai Pavilion. Huixin is waiting for us."
Mo Ran took a step back and prepared to turn around and leave. After all, he had just heard the news. He didn't have the guts to go and meet the people now. He might get into big trouble in the future.
Since you know there will be no results, then don't stir up any possible waves, don't leave any chance, nip the seed in the bud and take precautions before it happens.
Paimeng turned his head to look at the man in black who was about to leave, and asked, "Mo Ran, aren't you going with us?"
Mo Ran shook his head and said, "I won't get involved. You guys can go. When things are settled, come to Liuli Pavilion to find me. I'll treat you to a meal."
Paimon suddenly felt that the half-day's hard work was worth it. Although she had only walked all the way like a bystander, she still felt that this meal was deserved because she had the time.
Paimon looked at the blond boy and the blue-haired girl and said hurriedly, "Let's go! Our destination is Yuehai Pavilion!"
Kong smiled helplessly and glanced at Ganyu, and the two had no choice but to follow.
Uncle Tian looked at the man in black walking away, sighed softly, and then paced on the dock.
Besides, Mo Ran strolling leisurely in Liyue Harbor was no different from an idler like Zhongli. The only difference might be the Mora he possessed.
I came to the entrance of the Glazed Pavilion with nothing to do. The receptionist should be new and had never seen Mo Ran himself, but looking at his clothes, I knew he was from a wealthy family.
But even if the person who came now was a person in ordinary clothes, the receptionist would not act rashly, because this was the rule set by the head manager, and she did not want to be fired for it.
"Excuse me, sir. Do you want to chat or discuss business?"
This is the "underworld jargon" of the Liuliting and Xinyuexuan restaurants, which means that whether you go to eat home-cooked meals or have to have a private room to discuss business.
Mo Ran said without hesitation: "When having dinner with a few friends, you need a room that shows your status, but don't go too far."
"Okay, please follow me." The receptionist nodded and bowed, walking in front to lead the way, crossing the corridor that was decorated luxuriously and tastefully, and finally arrived at the door of a private room.
"This is our restaurant's pleasant private room. If you are not satisfied, we can change it."
Mo Ran said calmly: "No need, let's just take this one, just serve the dishes according to the standard, um, serve them around dusk, that's all."
"Okay, Liuliting thanks you for your consumption this time. You can wait in the box now, or we will have someone notify you when the food is served."
"Please do as you please. I'll take my leave now." She bowed and turned to leave.
Mo Ran stretched out his hand and pushed open the door. A female voice came from behind him, "Father, you are here, why didn't you tell me first?"
Mo Ran turned around, looked at the woman with white hair, and said with a smile: "If I trouble you for everything, then I will be a failure as a father."
Mo Ran stepped into the box. The frosty-haired woman was naturally Shen He. She followed the black-clad figure in and closed the door.
Shen He smiled and said, "When I was young, my father raised me. When I grow up, I will repay him a hundredfold. Shen He doesn't want to be known as an unfilial son!"
"If you are still criticized for being unfilial, how many filial children are there in the world?" Mo Ran said sternly: "Since you were made the shopkeeper of Liuli Pavilion, you have increased the monthly turnover several times and expanded the store area a lot!"
"I taught you the magic of talismans so that you could at least have a way to defend yourself. But you created your own magic to use together with the magic of exorcism, integrating the two and making them complement each other!"
"Also, respect your elder sister, love your younger sister, and treat your relatives and elders with courtesy. Who dares to say that you are unfilial? If anyone dares to say that, use the method I taught you when you were a child. If it still doesn't work, let me do it myself."
"Let me see who is stirring up trouble!"
Shen He looked at his father, who was furious at the moment, and smiled gently, saying, "It's just what Shen He thinks in his heart. Father, don't worry about it."
From childhood to now, it seems that whenever Shen He mentions something that is not good for her, Mo Ran will look murderous. It is not intentional, but it comes from the bottom of his heart.
Because he really treated Shen He as his own daughter. This was an idea that he had vaguely had for a long time. Of course, at that time, it was just an idea.
Shen He rested his chin on his hands on the table. The manager, who was almost serious in the eyes of outsiders, was like a child at this moment, with very childish actions.
"Father, my sister made a lot of money this time. Due to political pressure, Zhidong ceded most of the Zhidong industries in Liyue Harbor, including the Northland Bank, to Qixing."
"But my sister is the only merchant among the Seven Stars. It seems that the other six are now planning to let my sister take care of them. Father, why don't you take some time to go to the Qun Yu Pavilion to help my sister?"
Mo Ran reached out to help his daughter comb her temples, just like he did back then, very gently. His voice also became like the soft clouds in the sky, without the depth of an immortal rock.
"As for your elder sister, there is no one in the whole of Liyue who can compare to her. Why should I cause trouble?" Mo Ran took a sip of tea, thinking that what he just said seemed wrong. Then he noticed the presence of someone behind the screen and smiled slightly, "She is indeed an expert in calculations!"
"Ningguang, Ningguang, you left your business to hide in your sister's shop to relax. Now that you are here, just come out. If you have something to say, just talk to me in person. There is no need to be so troublesome."
"Haha, it turns out that I can't hide it from the old man!" The beautiful lady behind the screen moved gracefully, with a pair of charming peach blossom eyes and snow-white hair. It was Ningguang of the Tianquan star.
Mo Ran covered his mouth and smiled: "Tell me, is there anything you need me to go to Qun Yu Pavilion to find you?"
In the eyes of outsiders, Ningguang, who spent huge sums of money but failed to win a smile, now walked behind a young man in black clothes with a smile and rubbed the shoulders of an ordinary-looking young man. Her technique was so delicate that it must have been specially practiced.
"Grandpa, I haven't seen you for a while... It doesn't seem right to say this, I just saw you a dozen days ago... Hmm..." Ningguang hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Mo Ran was also puzzled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. We can chat even if we have nothing to say. How come we have become strangers after more than ten days?"
Ningguang sighed slightly and said in a deep voice: "Recently, I have been feeling uneasy for no apparent reason. I don't know why, but I just can't let go of some things in my heart. It's like there's a rock pressing down on me, making it hard for me to breathe."
"But if I think about it carefully, there are only three people I can lose that I cannot get back: Xiao Qiqi, Xiao He, and you, old man."
"Old man, why do you think you have this premonition?"
Mo Ran said softly: "Don't let your imagination run wild. We will be fine. It may be that you are too tired. Pay more attention to rest."
Mo Ran had checked before and found that Shen He had no signs of illness, Qi Qi was also fine, and it was even more impossible for him to be ill, so it was either due to fatigue, or Mo Ran was about to leave again.
Because there has been a legend in Liyue since ancient times that when a close relative passes away or is killed, the close relative will feel the pain deeply, and before that, he or she will be uneasy and confused.
Although the two are not blood relatives, the only difference between them is their blood.
However, there is no news from the system. It seems to have disappeared over the years, but it still exists.
Maybe the system is playing tricks again.
Ningguang whispered, “I hope so. In half a month it will be the Moon Chasing Festival, the day when every family in Liyue will reunite.”
