Jiujiu didn't know why Mo Yuan wanted her to stay, but when she heard Mo Yuan say that she was 18 years old, she immediately understood.
Mo Yuan had gotten engaged to He Xiao Ya on her eighteenth birthday. Thinking about it, she, who had been announced as his fiancée when she was eight years old, was no exception.
Mo Yuan wanted to get engaged to her.
Jiujiu felt that it was probably because her words when she was eight years old were too harsh, which made Mo Yuan feel that she was not a person who would meekly submit to adversity. In order to prevent herself from making too much of a scene when he announced their engagement, Mo Yuan took the initiative to ask her how she was going to celebrate her birthday.
Jiujiu looked surprised. She didn't expect Mo Yuan to ask her how she was going to celebrate her birthday. After a moment of silence, she said, "I don't really want to celebrate my birthday."
Mo Yuan looked at Jiujiu in surprise and asked, "Why don't you want to celebrate your birthday?"
Jiujiu smiled bitterly. "I didn't understand when I was young, but now I know that I was an unwelcome existence to my parents. If it weren't for my grandmother, I would have been thrown out by my parents the moment I was born. Later, if it weren't for the fact that they wanted me to work, they wouldn't have kept me. To me, birthdays are not joyful at all. Instead, they are full of bitterness. What's there to celebrate on such a bitter day?"
Mo Yuan always knew that Jiujiu's parents didn't like her, but he didn't expect that they disliked her to this extent.
If it weren't for Jiujiu's grandmother, Jiujiu would have been thrown out the moment she was born.
Thinking of the benefits that he had given to He Daqiang's family over the years, Mo Yuan's eyes darkened again.
However, even though Jiujiu said so, Mo Yuan didn't feel soft-hearted at all.
Jiujiu's birthday was a must. If he didn't celebrate Jiujiu's birthday, how could he get engaged to Jiujiu?
Mo Yuan felt pity for Jiujiu, but he had to celebrate her birthday.
Jiujiu was becoming more and more outstanding. He had to settle down Jiujiu as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not be able to settle down Jiujiu in the future.
Mo Yuan looked down at Jiujiu and said, "When it's your birthday, I'm preparing to get engaged."
Jiujiu's body swayed as she looked at Mo Yuan in shock and asked, "Can I ask why?"
Because of what Jiujiu had said when she was eight years old, Mo Yuan replied straightforwardly, "No."
Jiujiu: "…"
After announcing this shocking news to Jiujiu, Mo Yuan stood up from his seat and looked down at Jiujiu like a king. "Tell Uncle Li what style of engagement ceremony you like. He will prepare it for you."
After saying this, Mo Yuan left without looking back.
To prevent Jiujiu from looking for him, Mo Yuan left the villa.
After Mo Yuan left, Uncle Li received the news that Mo Yuan was going to get engaged to Jiujiu. He happily went to look up the styles of engagement ceremonies.
Although Mo Yuan had watched Uncle Li grow up, Uncle Li had watched Jiujiu grow up with his own eyes. Jiujiu did not have any relatives by her side, so Uncle Li treated Jiujiu as his own daughter.
Uncle Li was overjoyed that his own daughter was going to get engaged to the person he respected the most.
In less than a day, Uncle Li looked up several styles of engagement ceremonies. He picked and chose three that were more girly. Uncle Li then showed the three girly proposals to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu could not bear to harden her heart towards Uncle Li.
For so many years, Uncle Li had been taking care of her daily needs. Uncle Li was really meticulous with Jiujiu.
Moreover, looking at the proposal in front of her, which was clearly carefully selected, and facing Uncle Li's old but gentle face, Jiujiu could not harden her heart.
Jiujiu lowered her head and covered her eyes so that she could not see Uncle Li's face. She did not want to be soft-hearted because of Uncle Li's sad expression.
"Can I see Brother Mo Yuan?"
Hearing Jiujiu say that she wanted to see Mo Yuan, Uncle Li thought of Mo Yuan's serious tone when he called him that day. He immediately felt that Jiujiu and Mo Yuan's negotiation that day must have ended on a bad note.
Uncle Li really liked Jiujiu and really wanted Jiujiu to get engaged to Mo Yuan. Therefore, when he heard this, he immediately said, "Something came up at the company and Old Master is still busy.
Moreover, Old Master said that Miss's opinion on the engagement matters first. Why don't we confirm it first and show it to Old Master after he is done with his work? What do you think, Miss? "
Jiujiu continued to lower her head so that she could not see Uncle Li's face. She only said, "I won't agree to the engagement without seeing Brother Mo Yuan."
Uncle Li's expression froze. He lowered his head to look at Jiujiu and opened his mouth to persuade Jiujiu that Mo Yuan was still busy. However, when he saw Jiujiu's stubborn back, he could not bring himself to say anything.
Uncle Li pursed his lips and said, "Miss, whether you agree or not, you have to get engaged to Old Master. When Old Master rescued you back then, he wanted to marry you. Moreover, you know how Old Master has treated you all these years. You should get engaged to Old Master even if it's not for anything else but to repay his kindness."
Hearing the words "repay his kindness" again, Jiujiu's expression turned even uglier.
Jiujiu suddenly raised her head and looked at Uncle Li's old and benevolent face. However, he still did not speak to Mo Yuan. She asked, "There are many ways to repay a kindness. Why does it have to be this? Can I interpret it as Brother Mo Yuan bringing me back so that I can marry him?"
Jiujiu's question rang in Uncle Li's ears, but he could not refute it. This was because Mo Yuan's plan from the beginning.
Uncle Li remained silent. Jiujiu spoke again. "If I return all the money he spent on me to him, can I not marry him?"
Uncle Li smiled when he heard Jiujiu mention returning the money.
Even though Jiujiu looked mature and steady just now, her words revealed that Jiujiu was still a young girl.
Uncle Li lowered his head and looked at Jiujiu. He said softly, "Miss, I know that money can buy a lot of things. It can even buy everything. However, Old Master's kindness to you is not something you can buy with money."
If Mo Yuan had not brought Jiujiu back from the mountains, Jiujiu would have been sold by his black-hearted parents for money.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Mo Yuan had saved Jiujiu's life.
Jiujiu said, "I know. However, I still want to see him. Can you let me see him?" Jiujiu looked at Uncle Li with pleading eyes. She was sincere and sincere.
After all, she was a child that he had brought up single-handedly. Uncle Li's heart softened.
