Chapter 153 Visiting the Mo Family
Chapter 153 Visiting the Mo Family
As Lin Shushu and Mo Ze stepped off the flying vehicle outside the Mo family's gate, the guards immediately surrounded them. However, these guards were quite considerate and stopped about five meters away from them.
What's going on? Lin Shushu was a little stunned.
The people stared at the two of them intently, as if they had spotted some highly desirable prize.
Lin Shushu recognized the familiar look in their eyes and quickly guessed what was going on. They knew the two of them had returned to the Imperial Star and had come to see them. She hadn't expected that her time travel would bring her the troubles of a celebrity.
Lin Shushu smiled and greeted everyone. Since they had gone out of their way to wait here, it wouldn't be polite to pretend she hadn't seen them and leave immediately.
This smile made the waiting people even more excited, and they all greeted the two of them.
"Marshal Mo, Miss Lin, when are you getting married?" a voice rang out from the crowd.
The others were also intrigued and looked at the two expectantly.
Lin Shushu didn't expect that, besides the elders of the Mo family, there would be others urging them to get married.
Just as I was wondering how to answer, Butler Mo stepped in.
He first bowed to the onlookers, then said, "Thank you all for your love for our young master. He has just returned and still needs to go in to meet his elders. Don't worry, everyone will be sure to give him lots of wedding candy on that day."
The onlookers didn't insist on getting a specific time; they all thanked them with smiles and didn't ask any more questions.
The two stepped into the Mo family's gate, but before they had taken more than a few steps, a figure rushed over. Mo Ze grabbed them, saying, "How dare you be so reckless!"
Mo Chen was pulled back, and the inertia made him fall forward, almost falling into Mo Ze's arms, but Mo Ze dodged him in disgust.
Mo Chen barely managed to steady himself and complained, "Brother, why didn't you help me? I almost fell."
"Are you a child? Can't you even walk properly?" Mo Ze ignored his words and rebuked him.
Mo Chen ignored him and instead looked at Lin Shushu, who was standing to the side smiling. "Sister Shushu, it's been so long. I've missed you so much."
Lin Shushu looked at him amusedly, "You don't miss me, you miss my fruit, don't you!"
“It’s all the same, it’s all the same!” Mo Chen didn’t refute, and just smiled sheepishly.
"Shushu, let's go, the elders are still waiting for us!" Mo Ze interrupted their pleasantries, pulled Lin Shushu up, and started to leave.
"Yes, yes, everyone's waiting. I came out to meet you." Mo Chen seemed to realize something and quickly caught up with them.
After passing several detached small buildings, they arrived at the central courtyard of the Mo family. This courtyard belonged to the head of the family and also contained several small buildings and a sizable garden.
At this moment, a number of people had already gathered at the door, with Jin Siyue leading the way. They were getting impatient and wanted to go out and see what was going on.
Seeing this, Lin Shushu felt a little embarrassed and quickly quickened her pace.
When Jin Siyue saw them coming, she smiled and took Lin Shushu's arm, "You're finally here, come on in."
Upon entering the spacious hall, they found it packed with people—at least twenty or thirty in total. All the Mo family members currently residing on the Imperial Star were present. They rose to greet them as they entered.
Mo Kun is the clan leader, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Mo Ze will be the next clan leader. Even the elderly people present will give Mo Ze some respect.
Moreover, as far as they knew, Mo Ze's fiancée seemed to have quite a background, and coupled with her own formidable strength, she deserved their respect.
Jin Siyue introduced Lin Shushu to these people one by one; they were all close relatives. Lin Shushu could tell that they genuinely considered her Mo Ze's other half and didn't use their status as elders to lecture her.
Lin Shushu was somewhat satisfied. Unlike other large families, the Mo family had strict rules, and the younger generation had no right to speak in front of their elders.
After exchanging greetings with each of them, Lin Shushu received a large number of gifts. She answered all the questions from the elders obediently.
After everyone sat down, a little girl of about five or six years old walked up to Lin Shushu and asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, can you really fly?"
Lin Shushu's pretty face flushed red. This was the first person to call her "sister-in-law." Lin Shushu remembered that this was Mo Chen's younger sister, named Mo Lin.
Before she could answer, Mo Ze, who was sitting next to her, said with a smile, "Ah Lin, your sister-in-law can indeed fly. If you like, ask her to take you flying later."
Lin Shushu glared at him. Why was he calling her that like a child?
Mo Ze ignored her embarrassment and annoyance; he really liked it when his younger siblings called him that. If Mo Chen had called him that earlier, he probably wouldn't have been treated so coldly.
"Really? That's great, sister-in-law! I want to fly!" Mo Lin clapped her hands happily. Although she had ridden in a flying machine before, which was equivalent to flying, she always felt that it wasn't as amazing as flying directly.
Those present had been watching their conversation closely, and upon hearing Mo Ze's reply, they all showed expressions of interest.
The people here know about their deeds and are very interested in understanding what kind of ability they possess.
Seeing Mo Lin's expectant eyes, Lin Shushu couldn't refuse and asked again, "Ah Lin, are you really going to fly? Don't be scared!"
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, Lin, let's go now!" After saying that, she took Lin Shushu's hand and prepared to walk out.
Mo Ze looked at them with a smile. Lin Shushu had no choice but to get up with the little girl's help.
Seeing this, the others stopped chatting and stood up as well. They also wanted to know how people could fly in the sky without any external aids.
Upon arriving at the garden's open space, Lin Shushu was about to pick up the little girl when Mo Ze snatched her up first. He held Mo Lin in one arm and took Lin Shushu's hand with the other, and the three of them took off from the spot, floating steadily in the air.
This scene stunned the people following behind. This... this is flying? It looks so simple!
"Wow, it really flies! It's so high! It's so much fun!" Mo Lin's cheerful laughter echoed from the air. This laughter snapped those who were stunned out of their daze.
They looked at the person standing in mid-air, so relaxed and calm, as if it were effortless and easy to learn.
But they knew that no matter how simple it seemed, it was not something that ordinary people could do. At least, apart from the two people in front of them, they didn't know anyone else who could do it.
What intrigued them even more was how Mo Ze had learned it. As his family, they knew best what he had been like for the first twenty-odd years of his life. Now, he had only disappeared for a while, and upon his return, he possessed this ability—undoubtedly, it was related to his fiancée.
Although they were curious, they wouldn't really pry into anything; after all, it was someone else's secret.
When she returned to the ground, the little girl was still reluctant to stop, but she knew when to stop. She happily ran to her mother to share her joy.
Lin Shushu did not stay overnight at the Mo family's house. After dinner, she left, and Mo Ze naturally went with her.
Before leaving, Lin Shushu presented the Mo family with the gifts she had prepared, which they readily accepted. Only after opening the gifts did they realize just how extraordinary they were, thus elevating their understanding of Lin Shushu to a new level.
