Chapter 255: Failure to divert attention
Mo Chen looked at Rongyue, who lowered her head and remained silent.
Grandma also looked at Rongyue, then turned to Mochen and said, "Mochen, when grandma is not here, Rongyue will definitely be too busy to handle everything. You should come and take care of them more. You can live in grandma's room."
Seeing Rongyue remained silent, Mo Chen turned to his grandmother and said, "Grandma, you don't have to tell me. Taking care of them is what I should do. But you are moving away so suddenly. Rongyue and the children can't adapt to it for a while."
"The old house is not far from here, I will come here often. Besides, the kids can go to the old house to find me if they miss me! We are in the same city, we just don't live together! It's not like we are moving far away!"
"Okay, grandma, you can live wherever you want. I have no objection." Rongyue looked at her grandma. She couldn't force her grandma to follow her all the time. Although she couldn't accept those two people, her grandma had lived with them longer after all. What was wrong with wanting to live with her son?
"Where is grandma going?" Xiaoyu looked at her grandmother.
"Grandma is going to move back to the old house where your mother grew up." Grandma looked at Xiaoyu with a smile.
"Then I want to go with my great-grandmother too." Xiaoyu looked at her grandmother excitedly.
"Wait until grandma goes back and packs everything, then let mom and dad take you there."
"Huh? Dad lives in grandma's room? Then we can see Dad every day!" Xiaochu widened his eyes and looked at the other people at the table excitedly.
"Dad is going to live with us! Yeah!" Xiaoyu clapped his hands.
Rongyue looked at the two excited children helplessly, "Dad has his own place to live! Besides..."
"I don't…"
Rongyue stopped and looked at Mo Chen, the expression on her face changed from surprise to questioning.
"I've been staying at Li Xin's place since I came back. I thought you knew that."
Rongyue looked at Mo Chen and actually heard a hint of grievance in his tone.
"If you don't have any, then come and live here! The children need you, too! Rongyue is used to being careless! Grandma will feel more at ease with you around." Grandma looked at Mo Chen with a smile.
"I always listen to grandma." Mo Chen curled the corners of his mouth at Rongyue with a smile, then turned to his grandma.
"Yeah yeah yeah! Then I want mom and dad to send us off together every day!"
"I want my dad to tell me a story at night!"
"Okay! As long as mom can get up in the morning, we'll go together. If mom can't get up, then dad will take you there." Mo Chen gently touched the heads of the two little guys.
Rongyue looked at the children and decided not to spoil their fun yet and talk about it later.
After lunch, grandma packed up her things and Mo Chen sent someone to take her back.
Rongyue saw Mo Chen playing with the children on the sofa.
"Don't you need to go to the company?"
"Why does Dad have to go to work when the kindergarten is closed on weekends?" Xiaoyu nestled in Mo Chen's arms, looking up at Rongyue with her little face.
"He is the boss of the company, and bosses don't have holidays." Rongyue looked at Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu looked at Mo Chen and said, "Really, Dad? Then I don't want to be a boss in the future. If a boss doesn't have holidays, what's the point?"
Mo Chen looked at Xiaoyu's serious expression and couldn't help laughing. "You can do whatever you want in the future. Every day can be a holiday. As long as our Xiaoyu is happy, that's all."
Xiaoyu smiled and looked at the picture book in her hand again.
Rongyue was helpless, she sat on the sofa and looked at Mo Chen, "Where is your house?"
"No."
"So that's where we live!" Rongyue asked in confusion.
"I have already changed the name of that house to yours. It is not mine." Mo Chen looked at Rongyue calmly.
Rongyue frowned, "How come I didn't know about this?"
"It's all in the agreement, you just didn't read it carefully. Do you want to see it? I'll ask my assistant to find it for you."
"No need." Rongyue paused. She indeed had not seen the divorce agreement. The queen had seen it and said it was a huge fortune, but Rongyue had never cared about it. To her, it was just a few pieces of paper.
"I'll return the house to you and you can go back and live there."
Mo Chen smiled and looked at Rong Yue. "Why do I remember that you just rejected the gift I gave you yesterday, and it seemed to be related to the house. Today you want to give me a house? Do you still remember how you rejected me?"
Rongyue didn't expect that there would be this boomerang waiting for her.
"Then...how come Grandpa's place is so big that there is no room for you?"
"It's not like you haven't been to Grandpa's place before. It's now a castle, a home theater, a ball ocean, and a picture book room. My dad managed to keep a room there without being kicked out by Grandpa, but my room has long been turned into a place for them to play!"
Rongyue thought about it and felt that Mo Chen was right. Grandpa’s place was now like a villa version of a children’s playground.
"But I don't need you to take care of us here. Grandpa always sends Aunt to clean up. I can take care of us myself."
Mo Chen looked at Rongyue, and the smile in his eyes disappeared.
Rongyue swallowed and looked at Mo Chen with forced calmness.
Mo Chen turned to look at Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, mommy doesn't want daddy to live here. Daddy should leave now. I can't accompany you to school, nor can I read picture books to you at night."
Rongyue watched Mo Chen softly telling Xiaoyu about his grievances.
Xiaoyu suddenly jumped up and hugged Mo Chen's neck, "Mom! Why did you chase Dad away? I don't want Dad to leave."
Rongyue looked at Mo Chen and Xiaoyu, one of them pouting and getting angry at her with a sense of righteousness, her fair, chubby face became even more puffy with anger. Then she saw Mo Chen hugging Xiaoyu, rubbing his face in Xiaoyu's arms with a wronged look, but looking at her with a smug look in his eyes.
Rongyue pointed at Mo Chen and said, "You!"
"Mom, don't bully Dad! I will protect Dad from now on!"
"Dad, let's go, go to the room and study, and ignore mom!" Xiaoyu pulled Mo Chen.
Mo Chen stood up, picked up Xiaoyu, and walked back to the room.
"Mom, please don't bully Dad. Dad always tells us to give in to you and not bully you, but you always bully him!" Xiaochu paused his iPad, then stood up, walked to Rongyue, and then went to find Mo Chen.
Rongyue sat on the sofa, as if struck by lightning. When did these people get bribed by Gong Yi Mo Chen!
For a moment, everything was out of her control. Rongyue sat on the sofa for a long time before accepting the reality.
She got up and went back to her room, took out her cell phone and clicked on Gu Jingwen's message.
Rongyue: [Sorry, I just saw your message. Once you have decided on the time and place, just send it to me.]
Gu Jingwen's message came back immediately.
Gu Jingwen: [Okay, give me an address and I’ll pick you up in the evening.]
Rongyue: [Okay.]
Rongyue went out, bought some vegetables, and cooked dinner.
During this period, Mo Chen's assistant brought some of Mo Chen's clothes, sorted them out for Mo Chen, and left.
In the evening, Rongyue tidied herself up and put on some light makeup.
When I was leaving the room, I happened to see Li Xin opening the door and coming in.
Li Xin picked up Xiaochu who threw himself towards him and looked at Rongyue.
"Are you going out?"
Rongyue nodded and said, "Well, have you eaten? If not, just go with them. I have an appointment tonight so I won't be with you guys."
Li Xin frowned.
"Do I need to send you there?" Li Xin looked at Rongyue who had already walked to the door.
"No need, someone is here to pick me up." Rongyue smiled at him.
Before Li Xin could ask the next question, Rongyue had already opened the door and left.
Li Xin turned around and looked at Mo Chen who had been staring at them but didn't say anything. "Do you know who she made an appointment with? Xu Jiawei just took the contract from me. I didn't hear him say that he had a dinner appointment with Rongyue."
In fact, Mo Chen already felt bad when he saw Rongyue coming out of the room and saying that she was going out. Moreover, Rongyue didn't even look at him from beginning to end, which made him feel even more stuffy in his chest.
Li Xin looked at Mo Chen's gloomy expression. He held Xiao Chu and sat on the sofa, letting the children play by themselves.
"Your trick of occupying someone else's nest is useless! Why did you squeeze the real owner out?" Li Xin smiled even more happily as he looked at Mo Chen's increasingly gloomy face.
"How can you still sit here? Why don't you check who she went out with?"
Mo Chen gathered his confused thoughts, lowered his eyes and went through the people around Rong Yue in his mind. Her social life was too simple, and he could guess the general idea after a quick review.
Mo Chen sighed, "It should be Gu Jingwen."
"Oh, I thought you would remind him after you dealt with Wang Lei that day! I didn't expect you to indulge him!"
"I met him yesterday when I went to pick up Rongyue. I thought he should be able to tell."
"I know you have a relationship with Rongyue, but I still dare to flirt with you. I don't even take you seriously!" Li Xin smiled playfully, provoking Mo Chen.
Mo Chen looked at Li Xin, and he stood up holding Xiao Yu.
"Where are you going?" Li Xin looked at Mo Chen with a smile.
"Eat, I want to shut your mouth quickly!"
Li Xin smiled and picked up Xiaochu.
Gu Jingwen sent Rongyue home.
During dinner time, it was not boring but also quite dull. I kept worrying about whether the children had eaten well at home, whether they had slept well so late, and... Rongyue forced herself to erase the man who was about to appear in her mind. Rongyue thought that she was still not suitable for socializing.
Gu Jingwen looked at the silent Rongyue.
"The award ceremony will be held in a few days. Have you thought about your acceptance speech?" Gu Jingwen looked at Rongyue.
Rongyue shook her head. "Instead of thinking about that, it's better to think of a reason not to attend the award ceremony."
Gu Jingwen smiled and said, "You should adapt to it. With your qualifications and abilities, it is inevitable that you will become famous and be exposed to the public."
Rongyue looked at Gu Jingwen and said, "Mr. Gu is quite good at persuading others. I heard that Mr. Gu is the most difficult one to make an appointment with!"
Gu Jingwen looked at Rongyue and said, "You are right. That is because I have limited time, so I want to spend it on things or people that I think are worthwhile."
Rongyue saw Gu Jingwen staring at her, and she could understand the deep meaning of his words.
"Mr. Gu is right."
"If you don't mind, just call me Jingwen. Mr. Gu sounds too polite."
Rongyue nodded.
"Why don't we take the kids out to play together next time? This weather is perfect for camping and it will allow the kids to get to know each other."
"it is good."
Seeing that Rongyue agreed, Gu Jingwen smiled and continued driving.
Arrived outside the community.
"Thank you for sending me back." Rongyue looked at Gu Jingwen and smiled.
"You're welcome. I hope to do this job more often, as it's a great honor to take you home!"
Rongyue got out of the car with a smile and watched Gu Jingwen's car drive away.
She put away her smile and stood there thinking for a while. Gu Jingwen was right. We should spend our limited time on people or things that are worthwhile! We don’t have to rely on dating to divert our attention...
When Rongyue passed the gate, she saw Mo Chen standing under the dim street light.
