I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 631 - 640: Moh Li is not under someone else’s roof, they are the ones who are
Chapter 631: Chapter 640: Moh Li is not under someone else’s roof, they are the ones who are
Moh Li was stunned for a moment. So this was still her way of showing concern for him?
"I don’t feel aggrieved, because I won’t let myself feel aggrieved. I know what you mean, and I’ve already discussed it with Master. I’ll focus on studying medicine in the future."
Moh Li actually knew that he couldn’t keep going on like this; it wasn’t just about whether he would make a name for himself or not, but also, in everyone’s eyes, he would just be a grandson from the Ouyang side of the family.
That’s why he had to leave the Ouyang family, because he intended to return under the Moh Family’s identity. But before that, there were some scores that needed to be settled.
The things that belonged to the Moh Family had to be returned to him in their entirety.
Old Han had come back for this reason too. Although Moh Li was already capable of handling it, it was more justifiable when Old Han stepped in. After all, those shops were jointly owned by Old Han and the Moh Family.
So Old Han also needed to formally re-enter everyone’s field of vision.
Bai Dan had already returned, and how could he be outdone by him? As he said, there were only a few unfortunate children; how could he not protect them?
"When I’m finished here, I’ll join you in training."
Moh Li followed with that statement.
Bai Zhi: "..."
"So I’ll still have to see you every day?"
Bai Zhi’s mouth twitched. She really didn’t feel happy at all.
Moh Li: "..." Why did her expression sting so much?
"Don’t you want to see me?" Do I really look worse than that guy, or am I not as good at talking?
"Mm, after all, staring at the same face every day gets tiresome."
Bai Zhi nodded solemnly.
Moh Li: "..."
"Well, sorry about that, but you’re just going to have to keep getting sick of it."
Bai Zhi: "..."
The mood lightened all at once, and even Bai Zhi opened up.
"Do you want me to come with you? Although I can’t do much else, I think I’m quite strong."
Bai Zhi looked at her own hand; she had already recovered.
But as Grandpa and the Ancestor would say, she was only superficially strong but not very useful.
"No need, you’d better stay home. For now, I don’t want others to know we’re apprentice siblings."
They had unanimously decided on this. With people watching them like hungry tigers, they couldn’t risk exposing Bai Zhi.
"Alright," Bai Zhi naturally understood the key point.
The two had just reached the mountainside, and the skewers hadn’t even arrived at the thatched cottage when the Ancestor snatched them away.
And then Bai Xiang and Bai Fei could only recite their books while smelling the delicious scent of the skewers.
Later that day, when Bai Zhi was going back, she asked Moh Li.
"So, why exactly were you sulking?"
Moh Li’s face darkened even more. He...
"Because you gave those White Rabbit Creamy Candies to what’s-his-name and not to me; why are you two so chummy?"
Bai Zhi: "..."
Bai Zhi blinked and looked up at Moh Li.
In his somewhat awkward expression, there seemed to be a hint of being wronged.
This kid was pouting!
Could it be... was he being sour because he didn’t get any candy?
Bai Zhi was somewhat helpless, pulling out two White Rabbits and placing them in his palm.
"Here you go, what about your two candies?"
Bai Zhi was a bit helpless. This kid was pouting over what? Just a White Rabbit Creamy Candy. Giving him two wasn’t enough?
As expected, Moh Li’s expression improved slightly when he saw his two White Rabbits, but he still spoke with a proud aloofness.
"Actually, I don’t really like these White Rabbits. Next time, replace them with peanut brittle."
Actually, he didn’t like any candy, except for the ones Bai Zhi gave.
In his heart, no amount of sweetness could outweigh the bitterness within. It only made that bitterness more pronounced after the fleeting sweetness. Why bother...
But today, seeing such candy, he found himself unusually greedy, wanting even more.
He wanted it, wanted the candy and another kind that was different.
Only then would he feel a bit better in his heart. He knew Bai Zhi didn’t understand what that meant, but he still wanted to distinguish it from the person.
Maybe this time, the sweetness would be different.
Moh Li unwrapped the candy and put it straight into his mouth.
The sweet flavor of milk filled his entire mouth. So this was the taste; it was indeed good.
The corners of Moh Li’s mouth lifted involuntarily, and one could see that his mood had improved somewhat.
Is that all it took to placate him?
That was strange.
"Then I’ll just give you peanut brittle from now on."
Bai Zhi thought it was just a matter of a few peanut brittles. She could easily get a dozen if it wasn’t a problem.
"Alright, you said it."
Moh Li thought he would remember.
"I said it, as long as the factory is there, I’ll keep buying for you, until you vomit from eating it, until you don’t want to eat your meals."
Later, everyone knew that Moh Li loved candy, especially peanut brittle.
No matter the time, he would always have one to take out.
He even bought a factory just so he could make peanut brittle.
Even as times changed and many candies no longer tasted the same as before, the peanut brittle and White Rabbit Creamy Candy from that factory still had the original flavor.
"Alright."
...
The negotiation was not as tense as Bai Zhi had thought, it was actually somewhat harmonious.
Because Old Han had done a splendid job, even bringing in a reporter from the provincial newspaper.
Old Han, a stalwart of the traditional Chinese medicine community, even though he had long since left the scene, and even though he was no longer the director of the community,
his status remained unshakeable.
Like the Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar, Eastern Heretic, and Western Poison in martial arts novels, in the world of traditional Chinese medicine, Old Han was one of the top figures, known as one of the three great ’Stabilizing Sea Golden Needles.’
Old Han’s renowned Golden Needle technique had shocked people both nationally and internationally back in the day.
So his appearance naturally made the reporter want an interview, hearing that his business had been taken over was headline news, a must-go story.
As for Moh Li, as an old friend’s grandson, he went along.
On this day, the Ou Family was hosting a banquet.
The appearance of Old Han and his companions stunned everyone. They all stood up.
"You, you, you... You’re Old Master Han."
Old Han’s mouth twitched. What’s going on, he pondered, when did he become an ’old master’?
He really wanted to shout out that he was still young!
Not an ’old master.’
But...
Thinking of the purpose of his visit today, never mind, better to hold back.
"Um, I’m here today for a reason. I once opened a pharmacy with the Moh Family, and I heard that your Ou Family took over. Here are all the documents..."
The person beside Old Han directly presented a pile of paperwork and real estate certificates, all bearing Old Han’s name, indicating that the pharmacies were jointly owned by Old Han and Moh Li’s grandfather.
The faces of everyone in the Ou Family turned dark, for those pharmacies were the most profitable, and they had believed they belonged to their family. To find out they belonged to someone else...
How could they accept this fact? It was like watching a pile of money every day, but then being told that it wasn’t yours.
As for the others, they were shocked, having thought the Ou Family owned the number one pharmacy in the province, but it turned out to belong to someone else.
And among those, some were in Imperial City. They thought the Ou Family was living off others, but it was they who were wealthy.
The discrepancy...
Ouyang was not present today because he had gone to see Nan Xi. If he were there, his expression would have been even more spectacular.
