Chapter 284: He Lied to You About One Thing

Since Mrs. Ai’er said she had a medical appointment the next day, she sent Jiang Qiuqiu and Mo Si home for the night.

Before they left, Mrs. Ai’er said she wanted to give Jiang Qiuqiu one last diagnosis, so the man waited quietly in the courtyard.

Bathed in the glow of the moon and the lamps, his face seemed to hold a dense, golden radiance.

Inside, Mrs. Ai’er did indeed give Jiang Qiuqiu one last, thorough examination.

As the examination was wrapping up, she suddenly said, "You’re a young lady with excellent taste."

"Huh?"

"You’ve fallen for a very good person."

’Is she complimenting Black Hole?’

"Even in this old woman’s eyes, Little Mo is the finest young man I’ve ever met, second only to my own husband."

"Little Mo?" Jiang Qiuqiu paused for a moment. "Grandma Ai’er, are you talking about Black Hole?" Only then did she realize that Mrs. Ai’er called him Little Mo, not Little Black.

"Mm... I suppose so."

"But Grandma hopes you’ll be a little more lenient with the boy." Mrs. Ai’er leaned in and whispered in Jiang Qiuqiu’s ear, "He may have deceived you about one thing."

"But it probably wasn’t his intention, so when you find out later, don’t be angry. In this grandma’s opinion, you two are a perfect match."

’He deceived me about something?’

Jiang Qiuqiu’s curiosity was instantly piqued, but no matter how much she pleaded, Mrs. Ai’er refused to say another word.

It left Jiang Qiuqiu feeling like she was going crazy with curiosity, and she was completely dispirited.

On the way back, Jiang Qiuqiu was a bit quiet.

Seeing her like this, Mo Si, who had been feeling slightly conflicted himself, set his own worries aside. "What’s wrong?"

"Are you in a bad mood?" Mo Si asked. "Is it because of that case of Spirit Nourishing Liquid?"

"...No."

Jiang Qiuqiu’s eyes scanned Mo Si. She was still wondering, ’What exactly did he deceive me about?’

’His identity? His name? His background? Something that happened?’

Her gaze gradually focused, and she couldn’t help but think, ’It couldn’t be his face, could it?’

When their two buildings came into view, Jiang Qiuqiu said they could part ways. "You can head back first. I can get home on my own."

But Mo Si insisted on walking Jiang Qiuqiu to her door.

’Fine.’ Though she didn’t see the point, watching him walk behind her made her eyes curve into crescents. She was, admittedly, a little happy.

They reached the courtyard. Their eyes met in the surrounding silence. At that moment, they had truly become neighbors.

Not only were they living side-by-side, but for the foreseeable future, Jiang Qiuqiu and Mo Si would be in close contact, with only each other for company—

"You can just drop me off here. Do you want to come in for a bit? If not, you should head back."

"I won’t come in, but there are a few things I need to tell you." On the way back, besides mulling over what Mo Chengyu had said, Mo Si had also been debating whether to tell Jiang Qiuqiu this... After some thought, he decided to say it. "The person who hired mercenaries to harm you has been dealt with."

"He has learned his lesson." Mo Si looked at Jiang Qiuqiu with a reassuring gaze. "So, you don’t have to be afraid."

When they were fishing that afternoon, she had shown a slight fear of going out, so Mo Si decided not to keep this from her any longer.

Jiang Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment.

The one who hired them was undoubtedly Jiang Tianming. Because she had been targeted before, Jiang Qiuqiu had done some research on the Jiang Family through the Star Network. They weren’t a top-tier powerhouse, but they weren’t nobodies among the nobles either.

’Just like that... he was dealt with?’

She asked, "Is that what you were handling when you were out these past two days?"

"Mhm."

’It seems he’s probably a noble, too.’
