Just hearing a "dong" sound, Zhou Mo knelt in front of his parents!
This is not something she would do!
After all, Mayor Zhou and his wife are not feudal patriarchs, and Zhou Mo is a new-era woman who has received elite education. Naturally, she understands that the saying "there is gold under your knees" is not just for men.
But today, she knelt down in front of Mayor Zhou and his wife.
This couple, who were at the pinnacle of power in City S, felt at a loss for the first time.
"Mo'er, what are you doing!"
Jiang Man, who was closest to Zhou Mo, had to help her daughter up after she realized what she was doing.
But Zhou Mo avoided her hand and said hoarsely: "Dad, Mom, I came back today to ask you something."
Mayor Zhou stood up, faced her, and spoke preparedly: "If you want us to do our best to treat Zong Qi, we can agree to it! You get up first and then talk!"
After all, no matter what you say, Zong Qi is still a talented person. Even if it wasn't out of love for his daughter, Mayor Zhou would still find a way to treat him.
"Thank you, dad." Sure enough, Zhou Mo smiled.
Upon seeing this, Mayor Zhou and Jiang Man just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhou Mo continue: "But this is not what I want to ask you for."
"what is that?"
Jiang Man saw his daughter kneeling in front of them abnormally, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Zhou Moyang raised her pretty face that was mottled with crying, and asked, "I beg you, please help me take care of Xiao Mian for a while. I want to go to the hospital to stay with Zong Qi, is that okay?"
Jiang Man's pupils shrank: "...what did you say?"
Zhou Mo was afraid that they would disagree, so he added: "I promise that I won't let Xiao Mian disturb you for too long. As soon as Zong Qi is discharged from the hospital, I will come to pick her up."
Jiang Man looked at her in disbelief, with a look of madness on his usually elegant face. He was obviously very angry at his daughter's words.
Mayor Zhou's hands behind his back were already clenched into fists. He didn't expect that what Zhou Mo really asked for would be this!
It's not impossible to help others raise a child temporarily, but this child is the nominal daughter of Zong Qi and Zhou Mo. If they bring her into the mayor's mansion, then to the outside world, they will give Xiao Mian a status!
In other words, once they recognize Xiao Mian as their granddaughter, it will be like Zhou Mo has an extra daughter for no reason. If guests coming in and out of the mayor's mansion know this, it will do no harm to Zhou Mo's reputation and future marriages.
profit!
"Zhou Mo, you, you still refuse to give up until now?"
Jiang Man was already furious. She covered her aching heart and asked, "Do you know... No, did Li Jingchen tell you clearly that Zong Qi has a malignant tumor?"
?!"
Zhou Mo nodded, his eyes dull: "Li Jingchen told me everything."
Well, Jiang Man doesn't mind being more realistic: "Zong Qi will die!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Mo smiled sadly and said: "Everyone will die."
There was a lump in Jiang Man's throat, so he simply tore off the last layer of disguise and said almost viciously: "But he will die before the age of forty! In other words, he has only a few years to live!"
Zhou Mo seemed to be indifferent and said: "So what?"
"Then, what, what?" Jiang Man covered his heart with one hand, poked Zhou Mo's forehead with the other hand, and said with an expression of hatred: "That means you will be widowed at a young age!
Taking a daughter who doesn't belong to you and leaving her as a widow to a short-lived man?
Zhou Mo, Zhou Mo, you are the mayor’s daughter, why did you insist on hanging from a crooked-necked tree like Zongqi instead of giving up on a wonderful marriage?!”
After Jiang Man finished cursing, he fell down on the chair and panted.
After Mayor Zhou glanced at his extremely disappointed wife, he turned to Zhou Mo and sighed: "Knowing that you were coming back, your mother immediately happily sent someone to clean your room.
I just thought it was a family reunion, and I called your brother to rush back from the army, but it turned out that you were willing to go back to this family because of others?"
After the meal, Mayor Zhou laughed at himself: "To be precise, you don't call it going home, but you call it not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
After you finish begging us to do something, will you turn around and leave immediately, and won't even finish a meal with us?"
