"Cough, cough, cough!"
Chen Mo suddenly coughed violently, clearly startled by the Old Ancestor's words.
He had met Mo Xiaojing twice and been beaten both times!
Chen Mo couldn't even imagine taking such a woman home.
"Stinky brat, I forgot, your statuses are too different. Someone like you might not even fancy her." The Old Ancestor's voice echoed in his mind again.
Chen Mo felt instantly provoked upon hearing this.
"Old Ancestor, I'm not as bad as you think, am I?"
"Tch, you think you're so great? If you have the guts, go chase that little girl."
"I'll chase her, who's afraid of who!"
However, as soon as Chen Mo spoke, he froze. For some reason, he had blurted out his words.
Mo Xiaojing's expression stiffened, and she asked with a slight frown, "Dr. Chen, what are you going to chase?"
Chen Mo inwardly cursed his bad luck!
He didn't understand how his thoughts communicating with the Old Ancestor had somehow been spoken aloud.
Even Old Master Mo stared at Chen Mo with suspicion.
"I, I'm chasing, I suddenly remembered I have something to report to Vice President Jiang. I plan to chase after Vice President Jiang." Chen Mo thought of an excuse, pointing towards the door.
Mo Xiaojing nodded slightly, "Alright, then you go ahead. You can contact me anytime if you have any problems."
"Okay."
"Old Master Mo, I'll take my leave now. I'll come see you again another day." With that, Chen Mo fled the ward as if escaping.
Old Master Mo was full of questions.
"Why is this kid acting so strange all of a sudden?"
Mo Xiaojing watched Chen Mo's retreating back, lost in thought.
After leaving the ward, Chen Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Recalling what had just happened, he felt something was off. "Old Ancestor, I feel like I've fallen into your trap."
"Stinky brat, your Old Ancestor is doing this for your own good."
"For my own good? Did you cause me to suddenly speak out just now?"
Suddenly, Chen Mo seemed to realize something.
Heh heh!
The Old Ancestor couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
Chen Mo understood immediately and felt speechless. He had heard of parents or grandparents who tricked their children or grandchildren, but this was the first time he saw one tricking his own descendant!
"Stinky brat, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. When that little girl becomes your Dao companion, you'll thank your Old Ancestor," the Old Ancestor said meaningfully.
Chen Mo didn't want to dwell on the matter and went directly to the medical department to report.
However, the transfer order wouldn't be out until tomorrow, so Chen Mo decided to go back and rest first.
Even now, he still felt a bit dazed.
He bought some fruit on the way and returned to his rented room.
It was located not far from Longhua First Hospital, in the old town area. The main reason was its affordability, which was perfect for an intern doctor like Chen Mo.
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
"This isn't your home. And you all, if you don't leave, I'll call the police!"
At this moment, from a dilapidated house, several women's sharp screams could be heard.
"Sun Jian, didn't you say your wife agreed to sell the house to pay off gambling debts? What the hell is going on?!"
Inside the room, a man's questioning voice could be heard.
"Brother Long, don't be anxious. This house is in my name, and I have the right to decide. As long as I get the property deed, I'll transfer the house to you immediately!"
The man named Sun Jian quickly explained.
"Sun Jian, you scumbag! Your daughter is still sick. If you sell the house, where will your daughter live?!"
"Slap!"
Immediately, the sound of a slap echoed.
"Stupid woman, it's my house, and I can do whatever I want with it! It's none of your business!" Sun Jian said fiercely.
The little girl in the woman's arms started crying loudly, hitting Sun Jian's thigh, "You're a bad guy, you can't hit Mommy."
"Scram!"
Sun Jian kicked the little girl aside.
"Xiao Wen, Xiao Wen!"
The woman rushed forward, shielding the fallen little girl in her arms.
Seeing the little girl's pained expression, the woman was heartbroken, "Sun Jian, you beast! This is your own daughter!"
Sun Jian sneered, "She's a good-for-nothing with bone cancer, she's going to die anyway. We can just have another one. If it weren't for her, and all the family's money being spent, would I be unable to repay my gambling debts?!"
Boom!
With those words, the woman fell into complete despair!
"Stop the nonsense and hand over the property deed quickly, or I'll beat you to death today!" Sun Jian glared at the woman with a ferocious expression.
Anger, disappointment, loneliness, despair!
The woman felt as if her entire world had collapsed, looking at the man before her in disbelief.
Even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs, but this man before her was worse than a beast!
"Bang!"
Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.
A young man appeared at the doorway.
"Who are you?" Sun Jian, seeing the newcomer, pointed at him and questioned aggressively.
"Chen Mo, the tenant here."
"Oh, so you're that college student who came to rent the place. Hurry up and pack your things and get out." Sun Jian sized Chen Mo up from head to toe, then shouted.
"Big brother, big brother, please, save us." Little Wen, who was in the woman's arms, suddenly looked at Chen Mo for help.
Sun Jian glared at Xiao Wen, "Shut up!"
Scared, Xiao Wen quickly shrank back into the woman's embrace, sobbing continuously.
Seeing this, Chen Mo frowned, "She's your daughter."
"She's my daughter, and I can do whatever I want with her. What business is it of yours?! Get out!" Sun Jian glared at Chen Mo.
"Beast!" Chen Mo could no longer tolerate it.
"How dare you curse me?!" Sun Jian grabbed a wooden stick and pointed it at Chen Mo.
"Sun Jian, stop!" The woman quickly shouted.
Sun Jian paused, then pointed at Chen Mo, "Stupid woman, you care about him when I beat him? Have you been with this pretty boy while I was away? No wonder you won't give me the property deed. It seems you want to abscond with my house and run away with this pretty boy."
"Shameless!" The woman cursed angrily.
"I wonder who's the shameless one, finding other men behind my back."
Then Sun Jian pointed at Chen Mo again, "Kid, you slept with my woman. If you don't give me a million dollars today, you're not leaving this door!"
Chen Mo's expression gradually turned grim.
"Kid, you don't accept it? Then I'll beat you until you do!" Sun Jian swung the wooden stick and aimed it fiercely at Chen Mo's arm.
"No!"
The woman cried out in alarm.
However, in the next second, Chen Mo took a step back, narrowly dodging the blow.
"Old Ancestor, help!" Chen Mo frantically shouted in his mind.
"Stinky brat, you need your Old Ancestor's help for a few thugs? I've never seen anyone as stupid as you! But remember, using my power comes at a price."
The Old Ancestor's displeased voice echoed in his mind.
But Chen Mo suddenly felt his body fill with power!
