Chapter 257 - Fishes

Jing Mo Chen's eyes turned a little red, but he controlled himself.

Jing Mo Chen was the one that invited Valerie, Cayden, and Ellington as he wanted to get information about Mo Xi. Even though he had their contacts, he couldn't get any information from them. It was as though their communication was only one way. They could receive things from him, but they won't give him any news about Mo Xi and Yang Zhen Ying.

Mo Xi disappeared for more than three months, and he was starting to get worried. Hence, the only way he could get information about Mo Xi would be through Valerie and Cayden.

Jing Mo Chen, Jing Mo Ling, and Jing Bo Chuan stood up and walked over to Mo Xi since they were the representatives of the Jing Corporation now.

Jing Mo Chen and Mo Xi's eyes met, and the two of them couldn't help but feel their heart beating irregularly.

Missing a few beats and racing sometimes.

"Thank you for coming, your highness," Jing Mo Chen said in English and extended his hand out to Mo Xi.

Mo Xi extended her hand as well, and she gripped his hand to shake it.

The moment Jing Mo Chen held Mo Xi's hand, he tightened his grip, and he didn't want to let go.

Jing Mo Chen used all his self-control and energy to stop the shake.

When Jing Mo Chen's hand left Mo Xi's hand, Mo Xi closed up her hand immediately as she tried to keep the warmth and the feeling within it.

Jing Mo Chen did the same thing, but no one else noticed how the two of them reacted.

"Thank you for your invite, Mr. Jing," Mo Xi said in English.

"Please take a seat, your highness," Jing Mo Ling said, and she didn't know why but she felt a sense of closeness to this lady that she just met.

"Your highness, please have a nice day, and thank you for coming to my engagement ceremony," Jing Mo Ling said.

"Congratulations. I wish the two of you happiness," Mo Xi answered.

The workers then came to direct and escort Mo Xi to her seat.

Mo Xi went to take her seat, and Jing Mo Chen's eyes kept floating to her.

Moments later. The door opened again.

Shen Nan Kun and Xiao Lan Yu walked in hand in hand, and they were escorted to their seats.

Shen Nan Kun was stunned when he saw people from the royal family in Country N, and when he was seated, he took out his phone and texted someone.

A few minutes later. The door opened once again.

Shen Yu Ning walked in, and the Jing and Lu family were all shocked.

"Xi?!"

"Little Xi?!"

The Jing and Lu family shouted in shock.

Ye Juan An and Yang Shu Ling immediately rushed over to 'Mo Xi' as they wanted to hug her, and they cried their hearts out while they rushed over.

However, Shen Yu Ning avoided their hugs, and she rushed to hug Jing Mo Chen.

Jing Mo Chen avoided Shen Yu Ning's hug, and not just the Lu family were shocked by his actions. The Jing family was stunned as well.

Mo Xi looked at Jing Mo Chen when she saw Shen Yu Ning come in, and she almost laughed out from his reactions.

"Mo Chen!" Shen Yu Ning reached out for Jing Mo Chen again, and this time around, Jing Mo Chen couldn't dodge in time.

Shen Yu Ning cried, "Mo Chen! Don't leave me alone!"

The Lu and Jing family were stunned by 'Mo Xi', and they looked at Jing Mo Chen instinctively.

"Little Chen, what's going on?" Grandfather Lu asked in shock.

"She… She suffered some shock, and now she is a little unstable…"

When Lu Jin Xiao heard Jing Mo Chen's explanation, he was stunned at first, but moments later, he looked at 'Mo Xi' carefully and found it very odd.

"Little Xi? I am your mommy. Don't you recognize me anymore?" Ye Juan An asked as she cried.

Ye Juan An couldn't imagine what 'Mo Xi' had been through to have become like that. She only knew that her heart ached to see Mo Xi like that.

Ru Hui Ya rushed into the hall, and she bowed in front of Jing Mo Chen, "Boss, I am sorry. I didn't expect that sister-in-law would just run off when I took her out for a stroll…"

Ru Hui Ya was panting when she said those words as though she had searched high and low for 'Mo Xi'.

"I am sorry. I know you forbid her from coming here. However, I saw that she was very down, and I wanted to bring her out for some fresh air. I didn't know that she would run off when my attention slipped for a little while… Please punish me!" Ru Hui Ya kept her head low as she spoke.

Mo Xi looked at Ru Hui Ya with huge interest and smiled.

It seems like three fishes are in the net already. Now, we should be left with two big fishes and a group of small fishes.

"You forbid little Xi from coming here… How long have you found out about her being alive?!" Lu Qing Min asked in anger.

"Dad, don't get angry with Mo Chen… Mo Chen didn't do anything wrong. He was thinking about all of you and me when he found me. I am sick, and he didn't want to make all of you worried. That was why he kept me hidden. However, I was really scared just now when he left me. I know I am a disgrace to him now, but I can't control myself…"

Shen Yu Ning cried as she spoke.

Shen Yu Ning's words not only angered the Lu family, but they also angered the Jing and Yang family. None of them expected that Jing Mo Chen would treat 'Mo Xi' like that when she was not well. They had thought that Jing Mo Chen would love Mo Xi no matter how she was like.
