"We're still investigating." Mo Ting's answer was simple, but his gaze was complicated.
For Lu Che to spend so much time on his investigation, it was obvious that these people were quite difficult to deal with.
"You need to be careful for a while."
The couple soon arrived at the Tang Family home and managed to see their little 'one-eyed' Mo Zichen sitting amongst his relatives with a grumpy frown. His expression was exactly like an old man's; nothing like how a child his age should look.
While the grumpy Mo Zichen hid in the corner unamused by the teasing from the adults, Mo Zixi was already having a blast with Tang Xuan's daughter.
"The two of you have arrived."
Elder Tang looked at the couple happily. Now that he was retired, his days were carefree, so he spent most of it playing with his grandchildren.
"These two devils haven't caused any trouble for you, have they?"
"I'm more worried that you'd take them away," Elder Tang loved the two kids to death, especially Mo Zichen who never cried or whined. He was interesting, like he had the mind of an adult.
"That's good." Tangning looked at her kids. Even though she was their mother, she struggled to get a chance to hug them.
There were so many people in the household that, by the time everyone got a few minutes with the kids, half an hour had passed before it was her turn. Before she knew it, Tangning began to feel a little jealous.
"I've seen quite a bit of news about you lately. Is everything fine?" Elder Tang asked during dinner. When Tangning and Mo Ting didn't answer, he laughed, "Perhaps it's because I'm old, I've gotten used to seeing people coming and going. So, I'm completely immune to acts of betrayal like this from youngsters."
"Saying goodbye is inevitable in every relationship, especially one that is established on money. Even you and Mo Ting, who are deeply in love, will eventually say goodbye when one leaves the world before the other. So, do what you need to do. Don't be upset by insignificant people and things."
"Understand?"
"Yes, I understand, grandfather," Tangning replied. "It's no big deal, I can resolve it."
"Good, I know how capable my granddaughter and grandson-in-law are!" Elder Tang praised. "You need to keep in mind that the Tang Family will always be here to support you. But, I also hope that you'll never actually need our help."
After all, there was nothing that Tangning and Mo Ting couldn't resolve on their own.
"Honestly, thank you, grandfather."
"By the way, Jingxuan, the rascal, is doing well. He created a perfume that even the Westerners love. The family business is growing by the day thanks to the hard work that you youngsters have put in!"
For some reason, Elder Tang had a lot more to say that night than usual.
Tangning had never experienced her grandfather's doting love, so that night, she finally felt like she had a great grandfather.
"Sis, can you lend me the kids for a couple of days? I want to play with them and use them to teach Qingyan how to take care of kids," Tang Jingxuan was truly in love with the kids as well.
"My kids aren't toys!"
That night, the Tang Family home was filled with chatter and laughter, but little Mo Zichen remained as serious as ever; all that was missing was a humph of disdain from his mouth.
An oddly adorable kid like this, naturally won over everyone's hearts.
After receiving encouragement from Elder Tang, Tangning felt re-energized thanks to the power of family.
"After I prepare everything, I'll go look for Miss Qiao on her island. I have faith that we'll be able to do better than 'Parasite'."
