Without disturbing Xia Xinxin, who was still sleeping soundly, Mo Zixiao quietly washed up, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to cook the porridge. After cooking two side dishes in the pot to keep it warm, he silently left.

The moment he stepped out of the door, he was surprised to see a serious expression on Qiang's face. The car door was already open for him.

He frowned.

Ever since Mo Zixiao had participated in the Survivor's game, he had sent Qiang back to the Mo family. He didn't want Mo Guxuan to implicate the people around him because of this matter.

Now that Qiang had appeared out of nowhere, it was naturally under the orders of Mo Gu Xuan.

Was she afraid that he would run away?

His heart was as cold as steel.

Without saying much, he got into the car and closed his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, the car drove into the Mo family's residence.

He got out of the car and was about to walk towards the meeting room when Qiang caught up to him and said softly, "Young master, is Master waiting for you in the study?"

He was shocked.

Could it be that calling him back this time wasn't out of sequence?

Then it was surely Mo Guxuan who wanted to do one last effort to get him to stay.

His frown deepened as he thought about the incident.

Why was he so stubborn?

His heart had never belonged here. Why did his astute grandfather refuse to recognize this?

Even though he was absolutely unwilling to see Mo Guxuan again and to have such a useless argument, since he had come, it wouldn't make sense to not see him again.

He thought for a while and sighed. Then, he turned around and walked in.

When Mama Xin saw him, she was very excited and told him that Mo Gouxuan was in the study on the second floor. She even asked him if he had had breakfast.

Mo Guxuan had instructed him to do so, so there wasn't much point in delaying it for a short while.

Mo Zixiao was too preoccupied, how could he eat?

Thus, he declined Mama Xin's good intentions before turning around and heading to the second floor.

The study door was still shut as it had been that night. Mo Zixiao stood at the door and could already feel the aura that belonged solely to Mo Guxuan seeping out, little by little. He didn't want to enter at all.

Just as he was hesitating, Mo Guxuan's old and tired voice slowly came from within the room. "Since you're here, then hurry up and come in!"

Then, he raised his hand and pushed open the door as he walked in. However, he was almost choked by the smog in the room.

Amidst the smoke and mist, Mo Guxuan sat upright on the Redwood Tutor's chair and looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes.

There was no expression on his face, and no one could tell what he was thinking at this moment.

With a dry cough, Mo Zixiao walked to the window and opened all the windows. He then turned on the electric fan, allowing the air inside and outside to match …

stream.

When the turbid air gradually became clear, only then did he walk to the opposite of Mo Guxuan, and politely bowed deeply to him. "Grandfather, what have you called me here for?"

Mo Guxuan sighed deeply. "Are we, grandfather and grandson, really so distant in our relationship?" If there's nothing else, can I not call you over to chat? "

His words were filled with a sense of loneliness, giving people a sense of desolation and sadness.

Although Mo Zixiao knew this trip would not be simple, he still felt uncomfortable seeing his grandfather, who once shook the world, appear so desolate and exhausted. With a gentle smile, he sat down across from him and pushed the chessboard that was already laid out on the table, "Grandpa, are you studying this game?"

"Now that I'm old, I can't find anyone who's willing to play chess with me anymore!" So I can only arrange some research to pass the time! "

These words caused Mo Zixiao's heart to feel uncomfortable.

Although he'd never been close to Mo Guxuan since he was young, but he had to admit that of all his grandchildren, Mo Guxuan paid the most attention to him.

Only him was able to obtain a jade pendant that Mo Guxuan had bestowed upon him when he was still a child, a jade pendant that he once wore around his body for decades.

The jade pendant was once an ornament of Liu Bang, a piece of cold jade rarely seen in a thousand years, and when worn in summer, it would make one's entire body cool and comfortable.

Mo Guxuan giving it to him as a gift showed how much he loved it.

Only he, who had once sat in Mo Guxuan's embrace and tugged on his beard, listened to him tell the story of Chu Han's struggle for hegemony, and taught Go by hand.

Although they didn't spend much time together, it was because of this that they seemed so precious.

Honestly speaking, if he hadn't taken advantage of Ye Jiuru's situation and forced him to accept the position of the head of the Mo family, in the depths of his heart, Mo Guxuan would have been his eternal warmth.

But unfortunately, Mo Gu Xuan had destroyed it!

From then on, he only had reverence towards Mo Guxuan, and no longer had any love for him.

But now, when Mo Gu Xuan's performance was so fragile, he suddenly realized that the cruelty of reality had annihilated his family relationship, but it didn't erase the wisp of precious and eternal memories in the depths of his heart.

His heart couldn't help but slowly become soft …

Thus, he picked up a black piece, raised his eyebrows and smiled at the old man across from him, "Is it still the same as before, I'm the one who is black, and you are the one who is white?"

The wrinkles on Mo Guxuan's forehead, that were as deep as ravines, completely flattened after hearing his words. He let out a long laugh and said, "Alright! "As usual, I will stand by my side and let you have your third son!"

Mo Zixiao laughed, "No! This time, I'll let you have your third son! "

Mo Guxuan heavily slapped the table, then laughed even more heartily as he raised his thumb at him. "Good!" What he wanted was to be domineering! Come on! The two of us will have a good time today! "

"Your grandson will definitely accompany you to the end!" Mo Zixiao's heart was suddenly filled with a heroic spirit.

This time, the two of them played ten moves in a row.

Mo Zixiao had achieved a complete victory with five victories over three.

Mo Guxuan pushed the Go Board away, sighing with emotion. "Truly a fearsome talent from the future!" Zi Xiao, you are extremely quick-witted and kind-hearted. Although you have devoted yourself to the underworld, your nature has never changed. I'm so glad! This proves that my judgement has never been wrong! "

Seeing that he had finally answered the question, Mo Zixiao did not avoid it and lightly said: "Grandfather is too kind! However, his grandson didn't think so. Because if I want to survive in this society, with the Mo family's achievements that are even more glorious than yours, I naturally don't have the ability to do so. In your eyes, your praise for my kindness is actually my weakness. I can't be heartless to everything, much less put the Mo family's interests above everything else. This was extremely dangerous for the Mo family. "Therefore, people like me are not suitable to be the head of the Mo family. I fear that one day, the Mo family will be destroyed by me."

Mo Gu Xuan shook his head. "No!" When I first chose you, not only did I take a fancy to your talent, I also took a liking to your kindness and magnanimity! One had to know, as the head of the Mo family, not only did he have to bring the Mo family to a higher level, he had to be cohesive. Furthermore, the one who values everything the most is the Mo family. I don't feel at ease handing the Mo family over to him. Because people like them do not have the heart to tolerate others, they might even destroy my years of hard work to gradually bring the Mo family to the right path. It is because of this that I became a villain in the past and used such a despicable method to force you to accept the position of the head of the Mo family. Zi Xiao, believe me, that really wasn't my intention. If there really was a person among the descendants of the Mo family who was as capable and kind as a fifth of you, I wouldn't have ruthlessly deprived you of your happiness. It was just that, unfortunately, there was no such thing. Perhaps you do not know, in the process of your growth, although I have had little contact with you, but since young, I have always known every good thing or bad thing that you have done. The reason why I chose you is not because of a whim, nor because I have always favored you, but because of a consideration of the overall situation. You are truly the best candidate to be the head of the Mo family! So, Zi Xiao, let's say grandpa begs for you, don't make a decision so easily, think about it carefully! In order to show my sincerity, I decided to retire from now on. I won't ask anything about the Mo family anymore, and I will give you absolute trust and support. Naturally, I will not care about your life's important matters. "After all, in your life, the most important thing is for you to feel comfortable.

Mo Guxuan's words were filled with deep emotions, and it could be said that he was willing to compromise. He didn't have the dignity of a senior, and most of it was an old man's hope and pleading towards a junior, causing one to have no choice but to soften their hearts.

Mo Zixiao sighed, "Grandfather, please give me some more time to think it over. As you may already know, I already have someone I love. My decision not only affects me, but her as well. If she is willing to support me and stay here with me, then I will stay. "If she is unable to be the wife of an underworld boss, then Grandpa, forgive me for being blunt, but I will still resign as the head of the Mo family!"

Mo Guxuan sighed deeply. "Since ancient times, there has always been a need for beauty. If people don't want the king of the lands and rivers, I have nothing to say to you now! I can't force you, but I hope you can do your best to convince her not only to be your wife, but also to be the mother of the Mo family! That would be perfect, wouldn't it? Grandfather would not live for many years. He only wished to see the Mo family return to the glory of their ancestors, to be able to have a clean and honorable place in this world like their ancestors, and not have a single drop of blood on their hands. It was fishy. I have worked so hard for so many years just for this day. I was also young and haughty, and loved a certain woman deeply, but because of this wish, I lost her, because I felt that in this world, besides love, there was something more important than love, and that was duty and duty! it is a responsibility and duty to the descendants of the Mo family! "

Hearing this, Mo Zixiao was speechless.

It had to be said that Mo Guxuan's words weren't wrong at all, but he, Mo Zixiao, truly loved beauty. People just don't love the smelly monarch of Jiang Shan. If Xia Xinxin didn't want him to be the head of the Mo family, he would abandon the Mo family at all costs and choose to leave with her.

If his future couldn't be controlled and his woman couldn't be made happy by her, then how could he give the whole Mo family happiness in the future?

But when they saw Mo Guoxuan painstakingly trying to save everything, they didn't have the heart to say anything more to provoke him.
