Chapter 1052 - One Being Very Careful, and the Other Easily Swayed by Gains and Losses
Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin were overjoyed. They quickly brought out the gifts that they had prepared for Cen Mo.
What surprised Cen Mo was that both Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan had also prepared gifts. After all, he had already received a big red packet from them previously.
Cen Mo tried to refuse Liang Mulan and Lin Jingquan’s gifts, but Liang Mulan smiled and said, “The red packet from previously is a different case. These are presents that we are giving you as parents. They aren’t the same! Take them! They are our sentiments!”
Song Yao also tried to persuade Cen Mo. “Just take them!”
Cen Mo rarely received gifts growing up, and he felt quite touched.
“Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. Thank you… Mom and Dad!” Cen Mo held onto the gifts tightly, and a warm expression broke out on his face.
The Lins was really a warm family. Cen Mo looked toward Lin Nuan, feeling grateful his sister had grown up in such a family. Thankfully… one of them had grown up blissfully.
After leaving the Lin residence, Cen Mo opened the door to the rear passenger seat for Song Yao, helping her into the car. After closing the car door, he saw the reflection of the rising fireworks in the car window. He turned… and saw that brief moment of fireworks, crackling loudly, appearing brilliant and beautiful.
Cen Mo stood still, looking up at the fireworks that kept on blooming in the night sky. He started to miss his birth parents a lot, despite not being able to remember much about them.
He thought about the two years he had spent with them before he had gone missing. Their family should also have seen brilliant fireworks under such a night sky in the past as a family. Otherwise, why would he miss them so much when he saw these fireworks?
Song Yao saw Cen Mo standing by the car door, not moving for quite a while. She rolled down the car window and asked, “Cen Mo, aren’t we leaving?”
Cen Mo returned to his senses and lowered his gaze to look at his Song Yao, whose hands were grabbing onto the car window and who looked like a little kitten. He couldn’t help but reach out his hand and rub her head. “We’ll leave right away…”
Song Yao, who was suddenly stirred up by Cen Mo, bit her lower lip, smiling brightly at him.
Cen Mo crossed over to the driver’s seat, passing by the front of the car. After getting in, he rolled up the window next to Song Yao, put on his seat belt, and drove forward.
The car left the Lin family mansion in the suburbs and then entered the expressway. Throughout the journey, the roads were lit by the street lights…
Cen Mo looked at the car in front of them that Lin Nuan was in, then looked at the clear roads before them, and his lips curled up uncontrollably.
The path in front of him in the past had been so dark that it seemed like he’d never see an end to it. However, right now, even if he was still in the dark night, the path before him was clear and bright. Moreover, things would continue on like this in the future!
Early the next day, Liang Mulan woke Lin Ran up when she was still asleep.
Lin Ran tugged back her blanket from Liang Mulan’s hand, shrinking back under it, saying, “Mom, if you want to go and visit Lin Nuan, just go. Don’t always pull me along with you! There’s no more room for improvement in the relationship between Lin Nuan and me. Stop tormenting me! I like to sleep in… Just let me have a good sleep. Sleeping and waking up early isn’t suitable for me!”
“Xiao Ran, wake up quickly. Cen Mo’s assistant, Saihand, came over earlier, saying that he was looking for you. He said that Cen Mo has sent something over for you and that it must be handed to you personally. Quickly get up and take a look! Go wash up, don’t go downstairs in a disheveled state!” Liang Mulan instructed.
Right now, Liang Mulan and Lin Ran’s mother-daughter relationship was no longer the same as it had been in the past, with one being very careful, and the other easily swayed by gains and losses.
They could now act like an ordinary mother and daughter, with one expressing displeasure, and the other acting spoiled.
Lin Ran frowned, propped herself up with one hand, and then looked at Liang Mulan. “Cen Mo’s assistant? Why is he looking for me?”
“Quickly get up and stop lazing around in bed. It’s already 9:30 am! The kitchen has reheated your breakfast countless times! It won’t be good if it’s reheated again! Quickly!” Liang Mulan pat Lin Ran on the butt. “Quickly! The sun is already hanging high up in the sky!”
Seeing Liang Mulan leaving, Lian Ran fell back onto her bed weakly. She enjoyed lazing around in bed!
After having an intimate struggle with her big bed, Lin Ran forced herself to wake up. She washed up, then quickly headed downstairs.
Saihand was standing outside the door, unwilling to enter. Liang Mulan left him be and was seated in the living room, reading a magazine.
Lin Ran wrapped her coat around herself tightly and walked up to Saihand. “You said that Brother Cen Mo told you to come over to pass me something?”
Lin Ran had her hair tied up into a simple ponytail and hadn’t put on any makeup. Her face appeared especially beautiful under the sunlight.
Saihand, who was standing at the door with his hands behind his back, returned to his senses and nodded. “Miss Lin…”
Lin Ran crossed her arms, wrapping her coat even tighter to fend off the chill. She nodded. “What is it?”
Saihand quickly brought out a file from behind his back, opened up a pen, and said to Lin Ran, “Miss Lin, please sign here!”
“Sign?” Lin Ran raised her brows. After taking the file and pen from Saihand, she looked down and read the document…
A purchase agreement for a private jet, sports car, and a yacht?
“A sports car, plane, and yacht… I didn’t buy them. Is there a mistake?” Lin Ran frowned once again.
“Miss Lin, there’s no mistake. These are all gifts from Sir…” Saihand spoke seriously. He then recalled that Little Lu had told him previously that he must smile politely and with grace to appear approachable. Saihand smiled.
Lin Ran was speechless.
“You’re smiling so craftily. Is this some kind of trick?” Lin Ran didn’t sign and suddenly closed the file.
Saihand was a little stunned. “Miss Lin… what do you mean?”
“Brother Cen Mo wouldn’t be so bored to send you to trick me, right?” Lin Ran stared at Saihand.
Saihand felt that he had probably not comprehended the essence of a polite and graceful smile. Therefore, he let out a slight cough and said, “Miss Lin, as long as you sign here, these will all belong to you. Sir told me to prepare these. They are all meant as gifts for you, and there isn’t… any trickery. Please believe me and sign it!”
Lin Ran squinted her eyes. “Hold on!”
She handed the file back to Saihand, wanting to give Cen Mo a call, only to recall that she didn’t have her phone with her. She extended her hand toward Saihand. “Phone…”
Saihand understood what Lin Ran wanted and handed his phone to her after the call went through.
Lin Ran took the phone and heard Cen Mo’s voice. “Is everything settled?”
Lin Ran then glanced at Saihand, walking to the side with the phone. “Brother Cen Mo, you got Saihand to send me a plane, yacht, and sports car?”
“There are other things as well. Didn’t you see them?” Cen Mo asked.
Cen Mo had also instructed Saihand to buy the bags and classic fashion pieces that girls generally liked for Lin Ran.
Lin Ran was speechless.
Was this the main point?
However, Lin Ran was now clear that Cen Mo really had gotten Saihand to send these things.
“But, why did you get Saihand to send these things over?” Lin Ran frowned slightly once again.
“I’m compensating you by giving you the life that you thought you would get in the past after returning to the Lin family!” Cen Mo said.
Lin Ran was stunned, and she suddenly recalled what she had said to Cen Mo back at the Fu residence…
