To Mo Fei’s surprise, Ding Haonan’s phone rang right after she said that. Ding Haonan looked down and frowned when he saw the caller ID.

Before Ding Haonan picked up the call, Mo Fei had already went over to snatch it up. When he saw the word ‘Mom’ on it, she immediately rejected the call.

The show had just started, and they were already calling him. How could she let that happen?

“Feifei—”

After rejecting the call, Mo Fei returned the phone to the table. “She must’ve seen the news and thought that you’re related to Gu Juexi. Then, she’ll use this as an excuse to ask you for money. Can’t you understand that?”

Ding Haonan understood what Mo Fei meant, and a sense of helplessness appeared on his face.

The phone rang again. Ding Haonan glanced at his daughter. Mo Fei did not make a move this time. She was waiting for her father to react.

Ding Haonan kept staring at the phone. He picked it up after a dozen rings.

Mo Fei, “…”

Why was her father simply so foolishly filial?

“You want to live with me?” Ding Haonan could not help but repeat. After all, he had asked his mother to stay with him many times, but she refused. Hence, he needed to pay his elder brother his mother’s three hundred thousand bucks worth of living expenses monthly, although he realized that this was the trick his mother employed to make him give his elder brother money.

“What, I can’t stay at your place?” Grandma Ding smirked. “Or don’t you want to acknowledge me as your mother anymore?”

Mo Fei raised her brows and sighed internally. Did the old thing change her tactics?

“Mom, why must you use such harsh words? Of course, it’ll be great that you can stay here with me. I’ll send someone to pick you up now.” Ding Haonan hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

Mo Fei, “…”

Was it too late for her to not want this person as her father?

Why did he let her come just because she wanted to?

She was so angry!

“Dad, I can’t promise that I’ll be patient enough to respect the old and love the young after she’s here,” Mo Fei said coldly. She really could not tolerate that old thing.

“Why does Mom want to stay here at this time? You’ve invited her every year, but she didn’t seem to be willing to come anyway, no?” Mrs. Ding asked curiously.

Ding Haonan was not sure about that either, but he knew that his mother did not come here because she wanted to enjoy a happy time as a family with him.

“Feifei, come up with me.” Ding Haonan thought about it and got up to ask Mo Fei to go upstairs.

Mo Fei raised her eyebrows and put her phone in her pocket before following Ding Haonan to the study.

Ding Haonan took out the company’s official seal from the drawer and handed it to Mo Fei. “This is the company’s seal. From today onwards, I’m entrusting it to you. After working with the Gu Enterprise, our company will definitely rise in the future. If your grandmother is coming, she’s probably coming for this.” Ding Haonan’s heart was cold as he explained.

Even though he had gotten used to it over the years, how could he not feel disappointed when he thought about how his mother was only thinking about his elder brother?

Mo Fei retrieved the seal, shook it in her hand, and then put it away. “Anyway, you can’t give the old woman the money no matter what.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve handed the seal to you. I can’t touch the money in the company even if I want to,” Ding Haonan said and put his hand on Mo Fei’s shoulder. “I used to think that your elder brothers are capable of taking care of themselves, so I gave those people money whenever they asked. Yet now, Dad hopes to give you this company as your dowry.”
