C316 I'm Convinced
When Ning Jiwei returned to the Mo Family, Gu Chenyi and Mo Xiuyu were playing with their children.
Ning Jiwei greeted them and went next door to look for Mo Wanshaan.
When Mo Wanshaan saw Ning Jiwei, he was a little surprised, because this son of his had always been here for no reason. There must be something wrong with him coming so late at night.
Mo Wanshaan asked Yue Feng to push him back to the study room. He turned around and nodded at Ning Jiwei. "Follow me."
Ning Jiwei followed Mo Wanshaan into the study. Yue Feng helped the two of them close the door and stood guard at the door.
He did not want to be on guard against anyone, but he was afraid that the father and son would argue again.
Also, Mo Wanshaan's health was getting worse and worse recently, so it was not convenient for him to stay far away.
However, Jia Minnzhi felt that he was deliberately on guard against his current condition.
Jia Minnzhi coldly looked at the closed study door, then looked at Yue Feng. She coldly snorted and turned around to leave.
Yue Feng opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but looking at Jia Minnzhi's figure, he did not know what to say.
In the end, he could only sigh and think about telling Mo Wanshaan later.
Whether or not he needed to explain, how to explain, would depend on Mo Wanshaan.
In the study.
Mo Wanshaan looked at Ning Jiwei and asked, "Looking for me this late at night, is there something you need?"
"Yes." Ning Jiwei nodded his head, "I want to start the third round tomorrow morning."
Mo Wanshaan was stunned. He did not expect Ning Jiwei to find him this late at night.
After frowning for a moment, Mo Wanshaan asked hesitantly, "Tomorrow... isn't it too late? You have just finished the matter of Mofu. Why don't you rest for two days before talking about this matter?"
Ning Jiwei shook his head and said, "No need. It will be the same sooner or later."
Mo Wanshaan looked at Ning Jiwei and sighed. "Since you have decided, I have no objections. I will inform Mo Sheng and Mo Tine tomorrow morning. You should rest well tonight."
Ning Jiwei nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Wait a minute." Mo Wanshaan saw that Ning Jiwei wanted to leave and quickly stopped him. "Wait a moment. I originally wanted to wait for a while before telling you. But since you plan to go through the third stage tomorrow, I will give you that thing now. "
Ning Jiwei was puzzled. "What is it?"
Mo Wanshaan turned his wheelchair and wanted to go to the cabinet.
Ning Jiwei saw this and quickly helped him push the wheelchair.
Mo Wanshaan froze for a moment. He knew that Ning Jiwei might just be helping him conveniently, but this small movement was enough to make his heart ache.
"The second grid on the left, open it and take out the things inside." Ning Jiwei was stunned for a moment. He obediently went forward and opened the second square.
There was nothing else inside other than an iron box the size of a palm with a lock on it.
Ning Jiwei took out the iron box and handed it to Mo Wanshaan. "What is this?"
Mo Wanshaan took the metal box. His fingers were trembling, "Do you know why Mo Sheng insisted on the position of the patriarch of Mo Family?"
Ning Jiwei shook his head. This was something he didn't quite understand.
Mo Sheng clearly had enough power, but he insisted on the position of patriarch.
Furthermore, after so many years, Mo Wanshaan's strength had gradually become similar. It wasn't impossible for Mo Sheng to seize the opportunity to become the patriarch, but he had always backed off a little bit from Mo Wanshaan, as if... he was afraid of him.
However, Ning Jiwei clearly did not show any fear or respect towards Mo Wanshaan from Mo Sheng.
Therefore, there was only one reason why Mo Sheng acted in such a way.
That was because he was afraid of the thing behind Mo Wanshaan, the thing that only the patriarch of Mo Family would have.
Mo Wanshaan opened the iron box in his hand and took out half of the jade spring.
The jade spring was dyed red. Ning Jiwei could tell that it wasn't a normal color, but a human color.
The color of blood had been immersed in the jade spring all year round, and it had long merged into one.
Mo Wanshaan looked at the half jade spring, and there was regret and longing in his eyes.
"This is... the token of love between your mother and I." Mo Wanshaan's voice was a little hoarse as he let out a bitter laugh. " Actually, this thing isn't worth much. It doesn't matter if it's the Mo Family or the The Fu family. We can always find something more valuable than this jade spring. "
Ning Jiwei looked at Mo Wanshaan and didn't interrupt him.
This was the first time the two of them talked about Fu Xiang seriously. The previous few times they did not quarrel or argue with each other, Ning Jiwei also had a lot of complaints about Mo Wanshaan.
But since they had been together until now, Ning Jiwei admitted that he had some understanding of Mo Wanshaan, so he was even stranger to his choice back then.
At this moment, listening to Mo Wanshaan's words and looking at the bloody jade flute, Ning Jiwei gradually had a guess in his heart.
Perhaps what happened in the past wasn't what he thought.
Mo Wanshaan stroked the jade drape, his voice carrying the heaviness of memories.
"At that time, I just got to know your mother not long ago. We bought this jade drape from a small stall on the side of the street. After we got together, I gave your mother a lot of valuable gifts. But she always said it was not necessary. This jade spring is the most precious gift. "
Mo Wanshaan paused for a moment and curled his lips. "At that time, I didn't understand. After she left for many years, I finally understood what she meant. Because I, who gave her this jade act, had the purest and most passionate feelings for her. After that, although I loved her, it was mixed with the pressure of the family and the future. And a lot of things that I had no choice but to do."
Ning Jiwei finally opened his mouth and asked, "What was that all those years ago?"
Mo Wanshaan raised his head and looked at Ning Jiwei. His eyes were filled with tears.
"Due to the pressure of the family, the Mo Family didn't allow me to be with your mother. I originally planned to give up the position of patriarch and leave with your mother. But I didn't expect that my parents and elders would put you under house arrest, and your mother was imprisoned because she was pregnant with you. "
Mo Wanshaan stretched out his hand and grabbed Ning Jiwei's sleeve with a trembling hand. He said," For your safety, for the safety of you and your mother. I can only promise to separate from your mother and accept the position of the family head. "And..." Marry the daughter of the Jia family, Jia Minnzhi. I want to find an opportunity to explain clearly to your mother that it only takes two years. As long as it takes two years, I will be able to control the Mo Family. At that time, no one will stop us. But..."
Mo Wanshaan's words gradually became choked, and he lowered his head in grief.
Ning Jiwei pursed his lips and said, "Mother... should not leave behind an explanation for you."
Ning Jiwei had never seen Fu Xiang before, but Fu Zuoann had told him many things about Fu Xiang.
From Fu Xiang's way of doing things, she was a very strong-willed woman. How could she wait there when the man she loved married another woman?
"Yes, how could she wait for me?" Mo Wanshaan smiled bitterly. "She doesn't even believe me."
Ning Jiwei frowned and looked at Mo Wanshaan without saying anything.
Mo Wanshaan sighed and said, "I have missed her all these years, but I also blame her. I blamed her for not believing me, and why she didn't wait for me. I was unconscious for half a month because I had passed the third stage. When I woke up, I found out that she had already left Xiang City. I had asked Yue Feng to look for you, but there was no news from him. I never thought that she would hand you over to Ning Family to raise you."
Ning Jiwei didn't say anything. He had no right to judge a senior's feelings.
It had been so many years, there was no point in discussing right and wrong anymore.
Mo Wanshaan looked at Ning Jiwei and said, "I know I have let you down. I haven't done my duty as a father all these years. I still brought you back when Mo Family was in trouble. I... I will never be able to pay back the debts I owe your mother and you in my life."
Ning Jiwei shook his head and said, "I didn't blame you. If you had blamed me before, you would have thought that you had betrayed my mother. But now... after hearing what you said, I don't blame you anymore. I think mother wouldn't blame you even if she knew about it. "
Hearing Ning Jiwei's words, Mo Wanshaan was startled. He asked with a trembling voice," Ji Wei, you really... don't blame me? "
Ning Jiwei shook his head. "No, father."
When he heard "father," Mo Wanshaan's entire body stiffened, and tears flowed out of his eyes.
Unlike the anger and mockery from before, Mo Wanshaan could naturally hear the sincerity in Ning Jiwei's voice when he called him "father."
Seeing Mo Wanshaan lower his head and weep, Ning Jiwei sighed and went forward to squat down. "Dad, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you earlier."
Mo Wanshaan's lips trembled. He choked and could not speak. He only waved his hand to indicate that it was fine.
Ning Jiwei reached out and patted Mo Wanshaan's back. It took a long time for Mo Wanshaan to calm down.
"This thing..." Mo Wanshaan handed the half-fast jade stick to Ning Jiwei and said, "Take it with you. When you go in and find that person, he will naturally cooperate with you when he sees this."
"That person?" Ning Jiwei was surprised. Wasn't he going to spar with that person? Why was he still looking for someone?
Mo Wanshaan said, "What Mo Sheng is afraid of isn't me, but the Dark Department behind me. The Mo Family was divided into black and white, white and bright. Black in the dark. Only the patriarch of the Mo Family could communicate with the person in charge of the Dark Department. There are always things that can't be solved on the surface, but they are all solved by the Dark Department."
Ning Jiwei was shocked. He thought that the person Mo Wanshaan had given him was the full strength of the Mo Family.
He didn't expect that there was still a hidden force in the Mo Family that hadn't emerged yet.
"No wonder..." Ning Jiwei frowned and said, "I always feel that something is wrong. Mo Sheng and Mo Tine's reactions are too strange. They are obviously capable, but they seem to be avoiding something. So that's how it is."
"The people of Dark Department rarely appear, but there are usually a few who follow by their side." Mo Wanshaan smiled and said, "For example, Mo Feng who is by your side."
"Mo Feng?" Ning Jiwei was stunned for a moment. He thought for a while and nodded. "Mo Feng's ability is indeed very special. It turns out that he is from the Dark Department."
Mo Wanshaan nodded. "Every year, the person in charge of the Dark Department will have a good relationship with the patriarch. Black and white cannot be missing. When I succeeded the family head, my family put so much pressure on me. It's also because of the conflict with the Dark Department. There are no people from the Mo Family. The people of the Dark Department would not be able to live in a normal society, and without the Dark Department, they would not be able to live in a normal society. Our Mo Family won't be able to expand until now. "
Ning Jiwei thought for a moment and said, "That Mo Feng is..."
Mo Wanshaan said, "Mo Feng is the next person in charge of the Dark Department that I have high hopes for, but the specifics will depend on your choice. Tomorrow, you will see the current person in charge of Dark Department. He will tell you the details."
Ning Jiwei nodded, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he said, "I keep feeling that it is a little mystical."
"Mysterious?" Mo Wanshaan raised his eyebrows, "You didn't expect our Mo Family to have such power?"
Ning Jiwei shook his head, "It's not that I didn't expect it either. Even the The Fu family has the Shadow Department. It wasn't strange that the patriarch of Mo Family had the power of the Dark Department behind him. I thought that I had already come into contact with the authority center of the Mo Family. But now, the Dark Department has suddenly appeared. This is unbelievable. "
Mo Wanshaan patted Ning Jiwei's back with a smile and said, "I didn't tell you before because you are still too busy, and that man from Dark Department also wants to know if you are a qualified successor."
Ning Jiwei understood.
It turned out that not only Mo Sheng wanted to test him, but also the person in charge of the Dark Department wanted to test him.
After agreeing with Mo Wanshaan about what would happen the next day, Ning Jiwei returned to the next room.
When he entered the room, Jian Rui and Gu Xiaomian were already asleep. Gu Chenyi was waiting for him in the living room.
Seeing him come in, Gu Chenyi yawned and got up to take out the supper.
"It was supposed to be dinner, but it's already so late... Just treat it as supper." Gu Chenyi said.1
Ning Jiwei smiled and sat down to eat.
Gu Chenyi sat across from him and asked, "Has everything been arranged?"
Ning Jiwei nodded. "I just received news that George has already sent Dou Ge away."
Gu Chenyi pulled his chin and said, "I didn't expect your brother-in-law to be so responsible. I thought he would let someone else go. After all, the Qiao Family has quite a lot of power."
Ning Jiwei said, "Although George appears to be frivolous on the surface, he is always reliable when it comes to big matters."
Gu Chenyi laughed and teased, "Oh, we are one family after all. Now you are starting to say good things about your brother-in-law?"
"Ahem." Ning Jiwei choked on his words. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "I am talking about facts."
Gu Chenyi laughed and got up. "Alright, if there is nothing else, I will go back to sleep."
"Chen Yi." Ning Jiwei looked at Gu Chenyi's back and said seriously, "Tomorrow... I will leave it to you."
"I know." Gu Chenyi did not look back. He just waved at him and said, "Don't worry. I will look after Rui. As for you... don't die. Otherwise, don't say Haixi won't let you go. I won't let you go either. "
"Hehe." Ning Jiwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't die."
Gu Chenyi had his back to Ning Jiwei. He sighed and did not say anything else. He just went back to his room quietly.
In fact, could it be said that Ning Jiwei had no choice?
He had a choice. He could give up.
He could also use the Qiao Family and the power in his hands as a threat.
As long as he wanted to, he could choose not to participate in these three trials.
But could he?
He couldn't.
The higher he went, the more pressure and responsibility he faced. It was no longer a matter of him alone, a small family.
Just like Ning Jiwei. He was now in charge of Mofu. Everyone in the company was pointing at him and leading them forward. Could he withdraw?
It was just like the Mo Family. Mo Wanshaan had passed all his efforts to him, and because of that, he had almost crippled Mo Xiuyu.
Under such circumstances, could Ning Jiwei say that he didn't want the position of the family head? Could he say that he didn't want to pass the third trial?
He couldn't. Not only did he want to pass the third round, he also wanted to win beautifully. He wanted everyone to be convinced.
