Chapter 462: 130: Zheng Xianjing took the bait, making money to support our Mr. Mo!_6

“Oh, I understand now, I won’t dare to do it again.”

Zheng Xianjing still had a decent attitude in admitting her wrongs, so Zheng Lingling didn’t say much more. She turned around and walked into the house with Zheng Xianjing.

Just as they entered the house, Zheng Lingling busied herself with making chicken soup for the old Madam Zheng in the kitchen.

Zheng Xianjing was speechless.

After all that old hag had done to them, she couldn’t believe that Zheng Lingling was still so nice to her!

She must be out of her mind.

Phrase: In her opinion, she should replace all the medicine in the bottle with poison and kill that old hag!

…

Ni Yang walked out of the public phone booth, the corners of her mouth curling into a light curve. Her dimples, shallow and charming, seemed to absorb everyone around. Her radiance outshone even the clouds in the sky.

She walked all the way to the Detective Agency.

Xiaozhou was currently fiddling with an old-fashioned phonograph, completely unaware of Ni Yang’s arrival.

“Is it not working?” Ni Yang approached Xiaozhou.

Startled by the sudden comment, Xiaozhou turned to see Ni Yang and broke into a smile, “It’s not exactly that it doesn’t function, it’s just that the sound produced seems off, like a saw being drawn.”

“Let me have a look.” Ni Yang walked to the front of the phonograph.

This was a very ancient phonograph. With its swan-neck-like bend and large horn, it resembled a blooming trumpet flower – prideful and elegant.

The large horn was made of pure copper, highly wear-resistant and non-fading. It was perfectly complemented by an elegant, traditional wooden cabinet.

This type of phonograph originated from the Republic era. A few of them could still be found in the 1980s in China. In later generations, they all became precious antiques only seen in museums and with collectors.

In her former life, Ni Yang didn’t have many hobbies. Collecting phonographs was one of the few.

She fiddled with it for a while, put on the disc, pressed the start button, and instantly, melodious music flowed from the large horn.

“The night in Shanghai, the night in Shanghai, you are a city that never sleeps, the lights are up, it’s all song and dance…”

Xiaozhou exclaimed in surprise, “That’s amazing! Yangyang, you’re really something! You even know how to repair phonographs!”

In these times, the most popular gadgets were radios.

All the trendy boys and girls had radios in their hands, with a pair of earphones plugged into their ears. They couldn’t have looked cooler!

Earphones entered China around the end of the Qing Dynasty when Telegraph machines came into existence.

Now, hardly anyone bothered with big, heavy, old-fashioned gadgets like phonographs.

Xiaozhou sometimes found it hard to figure out Ni Yang.

This girl, younger and slimmer than him but far more capable, seemed to harbor many secrets.

Ni Yang laughed lightly, “It’s not that I’m amazing. It’s just that I’ve studied it a bit.”

Xiaozhou walked over and poured Ni Yang a cup of water, “Yangyang, you must have something important to discuss, and that’s why you came over, right?”

Ni Yang took the cup with both hands, “You guessed it correctly.”

Xiaozhou grinned and asked, “What’s up? Tell me about it.”

Ni Yang took a sip of tea, “In the next few days, someone might send some money to Mr. Mog. When they do, just tell them he’s out, you’ll take care of the delivery, but keep the money for me.”

It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to handle this in person, so Xiaozhou would have to help.

“Sending money to Mr. Mog?”

“Mmm-hmm.” Ni Yang nodded slightly.

“This Mr. Mog… is you?” Xiaozhou asked further.

“It’s me.” Ni Yang replied with a smile in her eyes.

Xiaozhou couldn’t resist teasing, “Are you getting married and following your husband’s title?”

Ni Yang answered with a faint smile, “I suppose you could say that.”

Turning his eyes to the screen, Xiaozhou cleared his throat and continued, “The rumors about Mo Qishen are not good, Yangyang. Are you sure you want him to be your boyfriend?”

Ni Yang retorted, “What others think doesn’t matter to me. If I like him, that’s enough.”

She genuinely didn’t care.

Reborn in a new life, she wanted to live life to the fullest and not be bound by restrictions. She wasn’t willing to miss out on the people she loved because there wouldn’t be another life after this.

“But once Mo Qishen leaves the Mo family, he’s nothing.” Xiaozhou went on, “Yangyang, you’re so outstanding. You deserve someone better.”

Mo Qishen was known for his worthlessness, idleness, and even a broken engagement, totally ruining his reputation.

Xiaozhou was somewhat puzzled, why was Ni Yang interested in him?

Ni Yang said very seriously, “In my eyes, he is the best.”

Xiaozhou added, “Do you know why Zheng Xianjing and Li Xianxian both want to marry Mo Baichuan?”

“I don’t know.” Ni Yang shook her head.

Next, Xiaozhou shared, “According to my investigation, there is a high possibility that Mo Baichuan is actually Mr. Mog. Now do you understand why they’re scheming to marry Mo Baichuan?”

“Oh.” Ni Yang nodded.

Just like that?

What did that ‘oh’ mean?

Why was Ni Yang’s reaction so calm?

“Don’t you find it surprising?” Xiaozhou asked.

“Why should I be surprised?” Ni Yang quirked an eyebrow and asked back.

Xiaozhou shot back, “This is Mr. Mog! Do you understand what Mr. Mog represents in Beijing?”

“I understand.” Ni Yang responded, “It pretty much means ‘supreme and unparalleled,’ doesn’t it?”

In the future, Mr. Mog’s existence was still very mysterious, with a business empire under his control. He was respected and sought after by all.

But it was weird that no financial newspaper had ever published anything about him.

Ni Yang was taken aback that Mo Baichuan turned out to be Mr. Mog.

No wonder Li Xianxian was determined to marry him.

Since Li Xianxian was reborn from a later era, she might have uncovered some secrets unknown to others.

“Knowing this, why are you still so calm?” Xiaozhou was at a loss.

Ni Yang shrugged, “Whether or not he is Mr. Mog doesn’t concern me. Should I react dramatically?”

Xiaozhou continued, “When it comes to talent and looks, both you and Mr. Mog are head and shoulders above Li Xianxian and Zheng Xianjing. I think only you are worthy of Mr. Mog. Aren’t you interested?”

Ni Yang, who had just taken a sip of water, almost choked upon hearing this. She spat out all the water in her mouth onto the ground.

“I’m not interested in him at all, so don’t talk nonsense!”

Xiaozhou replied quite seriously, “But I really do think that you and Mr. Mog are a good match.”

Ni Yang retorted, “I’m only interested in Mo Qishen. Is that clear?”

She didn’t really care about Mr. Mog or any of his titles.

What Ni Yang found puzzling was that the narcissistic Mo Baichuan turned out to be Mr. Mog, which totally overturned her understanding of him.

It was quite inconceivable.

Xiaozhou thought Ni Yang was just too strange!

She would rather become involved with a loser uncle than look at a promising nephew.

Xiaozhou pointed out, “But Mo Qishen isn’t deserving of you at all. He doesn’t even have a job, hasn’t even graduated from high school. What will he support you with in the future?”

“It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have a job. I have money and that’s enough. I can support him.” Ni Yang replied directly.
