Mo Chengjun's footsteps froze. Seeing that there was no change in Mrs. Mo's expression, he did not feel much shock in his heart, but rather, it was as if the world had settled down.
The argument inside the room still continued, and Mrs. Mo pulled Mo Chengjun towards Old Master Mo's study, step by step.
When they stood at the doorway, the argument between Old Master Mo and Mo Ran had reached an intense climax.
"Mo Chengjun is your grandson, could it be that Ai Tong isn't your granddaughter? On what basis can she openly bear the surname Mo while my daughter can only bear the surname Zhen? It's the Mo family that has let us down! " Mo Ran was very clear about the weakness of the Old Master Mo and he attacked it with all her might.
"Even if I'm sorry, it's still my old man's business, what does it have to do with the children? Don't you dare drag them into this! " Old Master Mo's aura suddenly weakened, but his aged voice was filled with unquestionable resolution.
"They are innocent? Am I not innocent? If it wasn't for you, my parents wouldn't have died! If my parents didn't die, I wouldn't have come to the Mo family! If I didn't spend time with him in the Mo family, how could I fall in love with him! "If I didn't fall in love with him, how could I have ended up like this?!"
Mo Ran's voice suddenly became agitated, and pointed towards the Old Master Mo as if he owed her a lot.
"In those years … Your father didn't die because of me! "I just didn't want you to get infected by the darkness. I didn't expect you to …" Old Master Mo sighed, he wanted to say something, but hesitated, as if he was hesitating to speak.
Mo Chengjun had a premonition that the truth was about to be revealed. However, just as the two people in the study were about to continue, Zhen Aitong, who had been following the sound, looked towards the Mo family mother and son, exclaiming in surprise.
"Cheng Jun, why are you here? Aunt is here too? Why are you standing outside? Why don't you go in! "
"Don't call me Aunt!" Mrs. Mo looked at her in disgust. Every time she saw her husband's daughter, she would feel a heart-wrenching pain. He wouldn't die!
Zhen Aitong's face stiffened, she never thought that she would not give him any face at all. She turned and smiled as she greeted Mo Ran and Old Master Mo, "Grandfather, Mother, you have finished talking about your matters!"
Old Master Mo looked at the people outside and his body suddenly went limp. He helplessly called out to them, "Come in, it's about time to explain everything! Sigh … Everything has returned to where it started! "
In the huge study, Old Master Mo was the first to walk in front of the desk. He tremblingly picked up his brush and wrote a gatha, "With just a thought, you can't open a door anymore."
"Grandfather, do you have something on your mind? Tell Ai Tong, I'll help you out with this! " Thinking that she would need Old Master Mo's help to truly marry Mo Chengjun in the future, Zhen Aitong hurriedly supported him with a warm smile.
"Sigh!" Old Master Mo's brush fell onto the xuan paper, staining all the previous words he had written, "Ai Tong, I have something to tell you, you and Cheng Jun … You two are half brothers and half sisters! "
Seeing that her mother did not have any reaction, she forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Grandfather, today is not April Fool's Day, don't joke with me, how could I, Cheng Jun, be siblings with another parent? My surname is Zhen, his surname is Mo! "
Old Master Mo pushed Zhen Aitong away and slowly sat on the armchair, his gaze sweeping across everyone present one by one. Looking at the different expressions and emotions on everyone's faces, he said bitterly: "If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother!"
Hearing this, Zhen Aitong looked at her mother with a pleading gaze, hoping to receive a negative answer.
However, Mo Ran's nod ruthlessly broke her hope, she could not help but take a few steps back, and then shouted loudly while breaking down: "What the hell is going on? Mother, weren't you adopted by the Mo family? "How could it be …"
"Back then, because of an accident that happened between the two of you, your mother and Cheng Jun's father had you. However, at that time, your mother and Second Young Master Zhen Family, who is currently your father in name, were already engaged to you, and it was he himself who said that you were his child to Zhen Family!"
Zhen Aitong shook her head and retreated step by step to the corner of the wall. Her mind seemed to have been destroyed as she muttered nervously, "I don't believe it! You're all lying to me! Her mother had clearly told me yesterday that I could immediately marry Cheng Jun! "
Seeing her like this, Old Master Mo looked at Mo Ran with a reprimanding gaze. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Mrs. Mo, "Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Old Master Mo looked at his daughter-in-law who had not appeared for a long time with difficulty. Thinking of her gentle and delicate personality, he used her eyes to signal that she would give her an answer later. Right now the most important thing was to comfort Zhen Aitong who had had a mental breakdown.
He didn't expect that she, who was usually reserved, would now look at him with eyes that refused to budge an inch, stubbornly searching for an answer.
Mo Chengjun stood firmly beside Mrs. Mo, silently giving her strength and support.
Old Master Mo, who was standing opposite of everyone, once again let out a deep sigh, as his voice aged, "My daughter-in-law, do you still remember what you promised me in front of Jiang Song's grave? Ai Tong is also Jiang Song's child! "
"Haha …" Mrs. Mo sneered, her usually gentle eyes revealed deep-seated hatred. "When I agreed, no one told me that Mo Ran was not the Mo family's biological daughter! "If she didn't think that I caused the accident that caused Jiang Song to lose her mind, how could I have fallen into such a state of self-blame and gone insane for all these years?"
With that, Mrs. Mo took out her phone, opened the text message page, and threw it in front of Old Master Mo as she coldly snorted, "It's said that tigers don't eat venomous animals, your heart is even more vicious than wolves, tigers, and leopards!"
Old Master Mo picked up the phone from the table. When he saw the contents of the text message, he couldn't help but cry.
"Mo Ran, do you remember what you told me back then?" Perhaps because he was extremely sad, the aura coming from Old Master Mo's body became more and more powerful, and it was possible to see some of the shadows that were looking down on him back then.
Mo Ran lowered her eyes and said faintly: "Today, she discovered that I was pregnant, so I accidentally leaked it. She and Jiang Song had a huge argument and drove away, and Jiang Song was worried that she would drive after him, so I wanted to go with her! Why didn't I go with him? The one who died should be me! It's all my fault! I will bring the child to accompany him! "
After so many years, Mo Ran narrated everything that she had said back then in its original form. How could she possibly forget that countless of nights ago, she had relived this scene once again.
"A slip of the tongue?" The Mrs. Mo gritted her teeth and said, "If you had not ran in front of me and begged me to help you and Jiang Song while kneeling down, why would I even have argued with him? If I didn't misunderstand your disorderly ethics, how could I have left in such a flustered state? Mo Ran, you must be very pleased with yourself for all these years! Watch me sink into pain! "
"daughter-in-law, Ran Ran isn't that kind of person! Back then, when she was pregnant, it was a coincidence. She didn't want it to happen either! We can only blame those who have ulterior motives! " Old Master Mo subconsciously explained for Mo Ran.
"The old and the immortal are for the thief, right?" Mrs. Mo pushed Mo Chengjun away, and brushed the pen holder on Old Master Mo's desk to the ground, then said with hatred: "Even though you say that you are a cultivator, you still do despicable things, don't you know how to dream? Have you dreamed of Jiang Song all these years? I'm afraid even he would find you, his father, disgusting! "
"What do you know?" Old Master Mo did not dare look straight into his daughter-in-law's eyes. Her penetrating gaze seemed to reflect the deepest, most secret, dirtiness within his heart.
"I already know what I should have known!" Mrs. Mo took out a kneading investigation from her pocket and threw it in front of Old Master Mo, "If you want people to not know, then don't do it unless it's yourself!"
Old Master Mo picked up the investigation in front of him and read it line by line. When he saw the last page, his hands trembled violently, and the paper fell to the ground like a butterfly with folded wings. He collapsed powerlessly into his teacher's chair.
"All these years, you've been lying to yourself. Do you think that what you've told others is the truth?" The Mrs. Mo approached the Old Master Mo step by step, and slowly broke through the tumor in his heart.
"You said that Mo Ran's father died because she saved you, but wasn't it you who forced him to her death step by step? If it wasn't for the fact that you and Mo Ran's mother had an improper relationship, and his father couldn't bear to stand against you, when Mo Ran's mother accidentally pushed him to the side of the road while the two of you were pushing each other, would she have been hit to death by a car? "
Mrs. Mo said slowly. Today, when she received the results of the investigation, she almost died. It was precisely because she reported that she wanted these people to receive retribution that she was able to hold on until now!
"How do you know?" Old Master Mo's retort signified his tacit approval of his attitude, and the scene became silent.
"Heh …" "Even if I fell out with my father for the sake of marrying Jiang Song, I am still his only daughter!" The Mrs. Mo had endured for too long, to the point where she was unable to take it all off once she exploded!
"Retribution! Retribution! " Old Master Mo said in a sad voice: "I and Jiang Song's mother and I were connected because of our interests, I had wanted to live a good life with her too, but I didn't expect to meet Mo Ran's mother again! We were childhood friends, but we were forced to separate because our family was at fault! "
"Heh heh, you can't take it anymore? Do you think Jiang Song's accident was really an accident? " Mrs. Mo threw out another bomb as she stared at Mo Ran, "Mo Ran, what do you think?"
