41. Ji Family

Just as Mo Shan and Yun Xi were planning to go downstairs, Mother Mo and Father Mo called for them. 
“Leave Yun Xi with me. I have something to talk to her about.” Mother Mo told her son. Mo Shan was going to reject it, but Father Mo chided in. “Let the ladies talk. Come, I have something to tell you too. Moreover, my wife won’t eat your wife.” Since Father Mo had spoken, there was nothing Mo Shan could do. So, he followed after his father, leaving the ladies inside.
Mother Mo spoke after some time, “Xiao Xi, you should know about the disparity among the classes of society, right? I am not looking down on you, but you might have to face it frequently soon. As you know, many socialites are invited to the party today. And, most of them like to act all high and mighty. So, when they will know your origin, they will surely try their best to bring you down.”
She continued, “So, Xiao Xi, you have to be strong by yourself. You shouldn’t let them drag you. The way ahead is not easy but believe in yourself. Moreover, you have the entire Mo Family backing you. Just don’t give up, okay?”
Yun Xi felt warmth seeping through her when she heard Mother Mo’s words. “Mmmm, I won’t. I had already readied myself when I decided to be Mo Family’s daughter-in-law. I know many will become a burden in my way. But I don’t mind that as long as family members are safe and sound.”
Mother Mo smiled warmly when she heard that. “En, that’s the spirit you should have as Mo family’s daughter-in-law.”
They chit-chatted for a while more and walked outside only after a while. Gents were waiting outside for them. Father Mo also told Mo Shan the same thing about how it can prove difficult for Yun Xi. 
Mother Mo turned to Yun Xi and said, “We will be going down first. You guys can take your time.”
After they left, Mo Shan took Yun Xi’s hand in him gently. “You don’t have to worry about anything. You just do as you wish, you will always have my back.”
Yun Xi’s heart started beating erratically once again. How could he say such sweet words like this? 
***
Around 6, the guests’ started rolling in. The first thing they did was to greet Old Master Mo who was sitting in the main seat. After that, they presented Xiao Hui with the gifts they brought. 
Some of them who weren’t prominent enough to greet Old Master Mo took their seat somewhere far from the main table.
Guests began greeting and chatting with each other. Mother Mo was also engaging in conversation with them.
Just then, Mo Shan and Yun Xi arrived downstairs hand-in-hand. They looked so beautiful together and the gasps could be heard among the guests. 
Different types of murmurs could be heard.
"Who is that girl beside Mr. Mo?"
"Did Mr. Mo get married or is she his fiancee?"
"But, who is that girl? I have never seen her before."
"Is she someone from overseas? Or business partner?"
Along with these, jealousy could also be felt around.
"Who is this girl? She looks just like a sl*t."
"Hmph, by holding Mr. Mo's hand, did she think she is fit to be married to Mo family?"
***
Ignoring everyone's gazes and murmurs, Yun Xi and Mo Shan directly walked to Old Master Mo. "Grandpa", Yun Xi greeted.
Old Master Mo became delighted when he saw Yun Xi. He patted her head. "Mm, Xiao Xi is here. The cufflinks are pretty. I love them. Thank you!"
"It's nothing, grandpa. The stones were all provided by Mr. Mo. I just designed them and created a real piece." Yun Xi replied.
Old Master Mo frowned, "Xiao Xi, why are you addressing Mo Shan as Mr. Mo? He is your husband. You should call him by his name or some dear names."
Yun Xi blushed at his teasings, but Mo Shan was giving his grandfather thumbs up in his heart. He knew if his grandfather had decided to do something, he will surely fulfill it. So, it was only a matter of time until Yun XI starts calling him nicknames. 
Mo Shan felt giddy even thinking about it.
After talking with Yun Xi, Old Master Mo now turned to his grandson. "And you brat, go and introduce Xiao Xi to everyone. She is your wife now. Are you still waiting for me to announce it to everyone for you?"
Old Master Mo intentionally said that in a loud voice so that guests near could hear him properly. Since the words came out of Old Master Mo's mouth, everyone felt stunned. Since old Master Mo was taking Yun Xi's side in front of everyone, they realized the importance of Yun Xi in the Mo Family.
After that, the guests started chatting with Yun Xi themselves. Everyone wanted to befriend her to get on Mo Family's good book. 
Mother Mo felt a bit relieved on the side. It was a good move from Old Master Mo's side. He clearly represented the importance of Yun Xi's title to everyone. 
Just then, one of the socialites walked to Mother Mo and asked, "Mrs. Mo, which family does your daughter-in-law belong to? I have never seen her. Is she someone from abroad?"
Mother Mo didn't really want to face their fake concerns, but as a Mo family member, she couldn't avoid it. Just as she was about to answer, Mo Shan's voice sounded from behind them.
"Auntie Chen, I never knew you were so interested in my life. You could have just asked me about my wife. I would have provided you with all the details."
Auntie Chen was speechless. She never thought Mo Shan would have heard her words. And he was even speaking in his wife's favor. She knew very well that Mo Shan isn't the type who would speak to someone until they spoke to him first. But now, he was clearly speaking to her first. From this only, they could guess the importance of that girl.
Auntie Chen awkwardly smiled, "Mo Shan, Don't get Auntie wrong. I just wanted to more about your wife's family. You know there are many scammers these days. Auntie just doesn't want you to fall in those people's scheming hands."
"Auntie Chen, do you mean that I, Mo Shan, am foolish enough to fall into the scheming hands?" Mo Shan encountered.
Auntie Chen became flustered at that. She never expected her words to sound as if she was making fun of Mo Family. If others got to know about it, then she won't be able to show her face in front of others.
She was thinking of how to get out of that situation when Mother Mo came to her aid. "Okay, it's enough, Mo Shan. Auntie was just worried about your wellbeing. Don't be rude to her. Go and call Xiao Xi. Introduce her to Auntie Chen and other guests."
At the same time, Mo Sheng brought Yun Xi and Xiao Hui there. Mo Sheng has been keeping eye on the activity of guests and knew very well what was going on there. So, he brought Yun Xi there at the perfect time. When Yun Xi arrived there, Mo Shan's eyes turned warmer and held her on her waist.
Mo Sheng snickered at his brother. He was intentionally feeding guests with PDA. Mo Sheng proudly announced to Auntie Chen, "Auntie, this is my sister-in-law. Isn't she pretty?"
Before Auntie Chen could go along with his words, Xiao Hui interrupted her. "En, very beautiful. My mommy is the prettiest."
Everyone laughed at Xiao Hui's words. "Mmm, and mommy has the prettiest baby." Yun Xi replied while pinching Xiao Hui's cheeks.
Just as they were chatting more, Father Mo came to them and announced, "They are here." He was referring to VIP guests. Just now, he got a call from guards about their arrival. 
After Father Mo announced it, they all walked to the entrance. Other guests also flocked around the entrance. If by any chance, they could make connections with any one of the VIPs, their whole family's reputation will increase by bounds. So, everyone, there was planning of something to get in the VIP's eyes.
Murmurs could be heard, "I heard even Ji's family is going to be here. They rarely appear in these types of events."
Another one replied the former. "Don't you know that Elder Ji and Elder Mo are very close friends? Of course, they will come."
"But how? One is from a military family, and another is from the business. How did they become so close."
"Ayyy, how can you be so stupid? Old Master Mo and ELder Ji used to serve in the military together during their young age. At that time, none of them had a prestigious background. Later, they became close after working together for many years. Old Master Mo had even sent his second grandson, Mo Shan, to train under Elder Ji."
Yun Xi was also surprised when she heard them. If she wasn't wrong, then the Elder Ji was none other than the former General of the country. And, now his son was also walking on the same path.
