“Feifei?” Mrs. Ding could not help but call out when she saw Mo Fei’s cold expression.

Mo Fei froze for a moment before turning to look at her mother. “Hmm?”

“What are you thinking about?” Mrs. Ding asked uneasily when she saw this expression on her daughter’s face.

“It’s nothing. I was just thinking about how they’re merely staying at home because of dad’s company seal.”

“For the seal?” Mrs. Ding repeated incredulously. “You’re saying that your grandmother stays with us because of your dad’s seal?”

Mo Fei nodded. She watched her mother’s expression transform from the initial shock to extreme heartache. “However, you don’t have to worry. Dad has already handed the seal to me. I originally wanted to give them some face to back off, but it seems like feeding them to pigs is much better than giving them some face.”

Mrs. Ding covered her chest with her hand. “If your dad finds out, he’ll be sad again.”

“He knows,” Mo Fei said calmly. Otherwise, her father would not have given her the seal from the start. This time, he must have thoroughly given up.

Mrs. Ding paused. Eventually, she seemed to have understood something and could only shake her head helplessly.

The venue where Qian Yikun’s mother waited for them was the largest mall in the whole B City. It was the new mall that Gu Enterprise established two years ago. Inside, most of the food and beverage shops were owned by Qian Feng Enterprise.

When Mrs. Qian saw Mo Fei and Mrs. Ding, she hurriedly went over to them. “I wanted to go over myself, but Yikun insisted that it wouldn’t be good for me to go over. It would make people think that Feifei was being rude.”

Mo Fei lowered her eyes slightly, secretly pleased at Qian Yikun’s thoughtfulness.

Qian Yikun had been worrying about her; her father had obviously been mentally abused. Since that was the case, she should not be sitting around and waiting for people to pull the strings, should she?

“How could you go there personally? Feifei is young. She’s supposed to visit you in the first place,” Mrs. Ding said with a smile.

When Mrs. Qian reached out with her hand, Mo Fei walked over to hold her arm. “Auntie, I should be the one visiting you.”

“Yikun told me that you just took over the company so you have to do everything by yourself. How will you still have the time? It’s enough as long as you take care of yourself.” As Mrs. Qian spoke, her gaze landed on Mo Fei’s dark circles. “Girls shouldn’t stay up all night. If there’s anything you can’t do, let Yikun do it for you.”

Mo Fei pursed her lips. With a mother-in-law like this, she did not seem to be that against marriage all of a sudden.

Mrs. Qian brought Mo Fei to buy a lot of things. Mo Fei wanted to say that she did not want them. However, when she looked at Mrs. Ding, all she received was Mrs. Ding shaking her head. It was a form of courtesy not to reject an elder.

Mo Fei sighed and accepted Mrs. Qian’s kindness.

After that, Mrs. Qian probably realized that it was not fun for a young girl to accompany two older women. So, she asked Mo Fei to walk around by herself while she and Mrs. Ding went to see what they liked.

Mo Fei could not have asked for more, but she still maintained a smile on her face.

After sending Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Qian off, Mo Fei found a coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee. She leaned against the window and put her legs on the stool. She was nearly bored out of her mind.

Qian Yikun sent more than ten messages asking her where she was now. He was about to finish work and could see her soon.

Mo Fei glanced at the time and raised her head to see a man wearing a facemask and hat walking in. After the man saw her, she lowered her head to type her message.

Mo Fei: [Where are you now?]

Qian Yikun: [At the police station. Are you still with Mom?]

Mo Fei started making calculations. It would take about an hour to get here from the police station, and the man had already sat opposite her.
