Chapter 13

Zhao Linya was amused by the two people’s singing and dancing.

In fact, she is a fan of Guan Kaili. She likes all her songs and TV dramas.

No wonder she was never seen on screen again. It turns out she got married. She is also Momo’s biological mother.

No wonder Momo is so beautiful.

If she hadn’t made Momo angry that day, she would have wanted to say a few words on her behalf.

So seeing that Momo wasn’t angry today, Zhao Linya said, “It mainly depends on Momo’s opinion. No matter what choice she makes, I support her.”

Li Mo said: “It’s not impossible to recognize one’s ancestors and return to one’s roots.”

The couple’s eyes lit up and they immediately listened to the rest of the story eagerly.

“But first of all, my mother raised me all these years, so even if I return to the Bai family and recognize you as my parents, my mother and brother are still my family.

Second, I need to be treated with basic respect. You must hold a grand family reunion banquet for me. I want your friends and my friends to know that I am the daughter of the Bai family.

Third, I must not have less than Bai Jinzi in everything she has. If you are partial and don’t treat me equally, I will leave the Bai family at any time and never come back.”

Guan Kaili looked at Bai Zhibo. She subconsciously felt that there seemed to be a trap here, but she couldn’t tell where the trap was.

Bai Zhibo’s mouth is much faster than his brain.

When Guan Kaili looked at him, he had already agreed.

“It’s a must! What kind of condition is this?”

When Guan Kaili heard this, she nodded without thinking.

“You were raised by your mother Li, so she should be your lifelong relative. And what you mentioned are what we should do.” Guan Kaili agreed without hesitation.

Li Mo nodded: “Then I will wait for your family recognition banquet. The day of the family recognition banquet is the day I return to the Bai family.”

“Okay!” Bai Zhibo agreed immediately, and asked considerately, “What about our in-laws, Zhao? After all, you’ve helped us raise our daughter for 18 years, and you’ve raised her to be such an outstanding person. Now that you’re helping Momo return home, we should be grateful to you.”

Zhao Linya was about to refuse when Li Mo said, “I will repay my mother for raising me, so you won’t have to worry about it. Besides, you’ve already given me something, so there’s no need for anything else.”

When the two heard that it would be so easy to take their daughter home and pass the old man’s test, they happily set the date for the family reunion banquet.

This weekend at noon.

In 1993, there was still a one-day rest system, so the meeting was scheduled for Sunday at noon. The venue was set at the Jinjiang Hotel, the only hotel in Yangcheng that received foreign guests. As for which hall, they would notify Li Mo after they had decided.

The couple left, but a smile appeared on Li Mo’s face.

Zhao Linya looked at her daughter and always felt something was wrong.

I wanted to ask my daughter if she had any other ideas, but I saw a tall figure at the door.

As soon as Lu Jichuan heard the footsteps and turned around, he met Li Mo’s gaze.

Seeing that he was wearing a military uniform, Li Mo was really worried that he would get cold.

“Have you been standing outside for a long time? Are you cold?”

Lu Jichuan was in a good mood because of the concern. He pursed his lips and said, “I just got here. I didn’t wait any longer.”

No way.

Li Mo’s hand just touched his sleeve and it felt cold.

Li Shuo glared and quickly pinched his mother’s arm.

Zhao Linya didn’t have time to respond to her son at all. She quickly opened the door and enthusiastically invited Lu Jichuan in.

After entering the room, Lu Jichuan saw Zhao Linya wanted to make tea for him, but she refused.

Even water is not allowed to be poured.

Finally, Li Mo personally poured a cup of hot water for Lu Jichuan.

Lu Jichuan didn’t refuse anymore. After taking a small sip, he held the cup to warm his hands.

The water cup is pink, and it is obviously a water cup specially for girls.

Even the water is sweet.

“You added sugar to it?”

Li Mo: “? No.”

After realizing that it was his own problem, Lu Jichuan’s ears suddenly became hot.

“Xiao Shuo, didn’t you say you had finished your homework? Hurry and give it to me so I can check it.”

Li Shuo’s face was like a searchlight, full of question marks.

Check homework?

I didn’t check my homework in elementary school, why do I suddenly have to check my homework now that I’m in high school?

But after being met with his mother’s death stare, Li Shuo, who was trying to be a light bulb, shrank his neck and went back to his room obediently.

“What happened to your face?”

When the light was turned on, Lu Jichuan saw a long bloodstain on Li Mo’s face, which made his heart seem to be startled by something.

I felt a slight pain belatedly.

Li Mo replied nonchalantly, “It’s nothing. I just had a fight with a classmate and got dug.”

Lu Jichuan tightened his grip on the cup, his voice muffled: “Then it must be your classmate’s fault.”

Li Mo couldn’t help but smile happily and asked, “How did you know?”

“Aside from being a bit opinionated, a bit aggressive, and a bit unwilling to listen to advice, your values are very positive.”

Li Mo’s face immediately fell.

“Are you praising me or criticizing me?”

Lu Jichuan said without hesitation: “It must be a compliment!”

She had such a strong desire to survive at such a young age. No wonder her hair became like a ball of cotton when she was fifty years old. Whenever she said 1 plus 1 equals 11, he would praise her as the smartest girl in the world.

Lu Jichuan blushed a little under Li Mo’s gaze and quickly changed the subject.

“By the way, in a couple of days the military and police will come to your neighborhood and to your and Li Shuo’s school to publicize Officer Li Tian’s deeds and commend you. They will also use your father’s deeds as an example to promote anti-drug education in primary and secondary schools and universities across the country. Do you agree with this arrangement? Will it cause you any trouble? If so, please tell me and I can postpone, reduce, or even cancel it.”

Li Mo nodded. “This is a chance to clear my father’s name in front of everyone. I definitely agree. From now on, no one will ever call my father a gambler, a bad guy, or a gangster. No one will ever call my mother a bitch or a whore. Thank you, organization, for thinking of us.”

When Lu Jichuan heard this, a surge of anger instantly burned to his forehead.

In his mind, Aunt Li was the kind of woman who showed gentleness and intelligence at first glance. Her husband had sacrificed his life for his country, yet she still had to endure such humiliation. Not to mention that she was Li Mo’s mother, even if she was the wife of a police officer he didn’t know, he would definitely stand up for her.

“Who curses your mother like that?”

“Bai Jinzi didn’t want me to return to the Bai family and wanted to ruin my reputation before I did, so he encouraged my classmates to attack me.”

Li Mo told everything that happened in school today, focusing on taking the path of a green tea girl and leaving her with no way out.
