Finally, amidst Grandpa Mo’s anxious anticipation, the vehicle carrying them drove into the villa area.
The driver alighted and opened the rear door, revealing Mo Chen and Shen Yao, each carrying a small child as they stepped out.
Grandpa Mo hurried forward, his gaze fixed intensely on the little ones in their arms, wishing he could snatch them away himself, but reason held him back.
“Quickly, quickly, come inside, come inside.” Grandpa Mo was becoming flustered, and it was the old butler, accompanying him, who arranged for Mo Chen and Shen Yao to enter.
Because of Grandpa Mo, many onlookers in nearby villas were also drawn to the commotion. They were utterly astonished to see Mo Chen arrive with a girl, carrying two infants.
“My heavens, this Mo family kid not only secretly got a girlfriend but now even has children!”
“You have to admit, that girl is quite beautiful. With such good looks from the parents, imagine how amazing their future children will be.”
“Look at them, look at them. That Mo family kid is only in his early twenties and already has children. You’re almost thirty and still not looking for a partner. What are you waiting for? To live off welfare!”
“Don’t laugh. You’re not like them. I’m telling you, if you don’t find a girlfriend and bring her home before the year ends, you can get out!”
“Old Man Mo is truly blessed. Not only did he get a grandson early on, but now his younger son has also given him two great-grandsons. It’s truly comparing oneself to others, enough to make one angry!”
…
Such conversations were happening in many households. Those living here were all from families with their own businesses.
However, with more money came more problems.
The children they had worked hard to raise were either too dedicated and unwilling to marry early, or they had become prodigal sons!
They truly couldn’t compare to that Mo family kid. He took over the company at a young age, found himself a girlfriend, and started a family early.
On the other side.
Shen Yao was ushered in, surrounded by Grandpa Mo and the butler.
After arranging for her to sit, they immediately poured tea and water. The old butler skillfully took the infant from her arms and urged Shen Yao to drink some water.
As soon as the child was in his arms, the old butler’s face crinkled into a smile, showing just how much he cherished the child.
Tuanzi, realizing she had left her mother’s embrace, looked at the stranger before her. To the old butler’s surprise, he didn’t cry.
Instead, he reached out a small hand, tugged at the old butler’s collar, and then broke into a big smile.
The old butler was completely melted by his smile, affectionately calling him “little darling” repeatedly, much to Grandpa Mo’s chagrin.
“I say, you old fellow, quickly give my precious grandson to me. If people didn’t know, they’d think you were his grandfather!”
Grandpa Mo was displeased. He hadn’t even held his grandson yet, and his old friend was the first to do so!
The old butler was not angered, but calmly continued to play with the little Tuanzi.
Knowing he couldn’t snatch the child away, Grandpa Mo turned his gaze to Mo Chen. Jiaozi had also woken up by then, her round eyes looking around.
Without a word, Grandpa Mo reached out and snatched Jiaozi too. As the small, soft child entered his arms, Grandpa Mo stiffened slightly.
Oh my, how so soft.
However, he still didn’t have the heart to let go. He held Jiaozi close, sat on a nearby sofa, and stared at her without blinking.
“This must be Jiaozi, she’s so beautiful, just like her mother.”
Grandpa Mo praised her, not forgetting to compliment Shen Yao as well.
Seeing Grandpa Mo like this, Shen Yao’s worries subsided significantly. It seemed she didn’t have to worry about Grandpa Mo not liking her.
It was her own fault for having such thoughts, considering how outstanding Mo Chen was, and that she had won him over at such a young age.
After playfully interacting with the infants for a while, Grandpa Mo handed them over to a waiting maid and then invited Shen Yao to eat.
Shen Yao felt no concern, knowing the two little ones would be absolutely safe here.
“Yao Yao, Uncle doesn’t know what you like to eat, so the kitchen has prepared a bit of everything. See if it suits your taste. If you don’t like something, just say so, and I’ll have the kitchen make something else for you.”
Grandpa Mo served Shen Yao food with a kindly expression.
He had never had a daughter in his life, and his first grandchildren were also grandsons.
Before his eldest daughter-in-law passed away, he had liked her very much. After all, she was lovely and understanding.
Unfortunately, she was too timid, which is why she couldn’t bear the family’s misfortunes and passed away young.
Now, his younger son had proven himself, not only finding such a beautiful wife but also giving him a grandson and a granddaughter all at once.
Twins! That would surely make many people envious when they heard about it.
“I don’t have any dietary restrictions; this is all very good.” Shen Yao quickly replied.
Grandpa Mo had prepared a large table full of dishes, covering various cuisines, showing the effort he had put in. Such a spread must have taken considerable time to prepare.
He hadn’t known she was coming to find Mo Chen, so these dishes were prepared only after her arrival, indicating how much he valued her.
Shen Yao was very pleased with the importance the Mo family placed on her!
“I’m glad you like it. I was afraid it wouldn’t suit your taste,” Grandpa Mo said, looking at Shen Yao with affection.
Shen Yao indeed fulfilled all his fantasies of a daughter. She was beautiful, well-behaved, and well-mannered. He was completely satisfied with her.
After the meal, Grandpa Mo held Shen Yao’s hand, praised her repeatedly, and then presented her with a pile of gifts.
The gifts filled an entire table, each in an exquisite gift box. The styles of the boxes looked aged but were extremely well-preserved.
Judging by their embellishments, their value was evident.
“These are all old items. I don’t know if you young people will like them, but they are quite valuable. If you don’t like them, you can sell them and get something you prefer.”
Then, Grandpa Mo took out a red sandalwood box from the pile.
Upon opening it, a red bracelet was revealed, its color exceptionally vivid and pure.
“This is a family heirloom of our Mo family. It was originally meant to be given to you by Xiao Chen’s mother, but unfortunately, she passed away early due to poor health, so I can only pass it on to you in her stead.”
With that, Grandpa Mo placed the bracelet into Shen Yao’s hand, urging her to put it on.
Shen Yao held the box, feeling somewhat flustered. She felt these items were too precious and she shouldn’t accept them.
But before she could hesitate, Mo Chen reached out, took the bracelet, and placed it on Shen Yao’s wrist. “It looks beautiful!”
