Chapter 123: I Thought You Didn’t Want Me Anymore
The more Ji Qian thought about it, the more annoyed she became. "Sister-in-law, hurry up and check the greenhouse, especially Old Master Zhuang’s orchid. I have a feeling that this woman is up to no good."
"I’ve already checked just now. The orchid is fine." Shen Hanxing still maintained her vigilance. She then said, "Perhaps she really got lost and walked here."
"I don’t care if she’s lost or not, I think we should replace the guards." Ji Yan’s said, "I was careless. I asked Assistant Chen to arrange two reliable people to guard the entrance of the greenhouse."
Normally, only the Ji family and the gardener would come to the greenhouse. They had not been on guard previously. Now that such a thing had happened, it was a wake-up call for everyone. No matter what, Shen Hanxing had already spread the word at the banquet. She assured that nothing would happen to Old Master Zhuang’s orchid.
Shen Hanxing nodded and agreed with his suggestion.
Upstairs, Ji Mo closed the door with a dark expression. He turned to look at Wu Tong, who was looking around his room, and asked, "What exactly are you here for? What is your purpose in going to the greenhouse?"
"What other purpose could I possibly have?" Wu Tong sat on the bed nonchalantly. "Didn’t I already say that I’m here to look for you? I’m just got lost."
"Is there any point in lying in front of me?" Ji Mo suddenly stood up and grabbed her wrist. "What exactly are you planning to do?"
"Ji Mo, watch you tone!" Wu Tong flew into a rage and slapped Ji Mo without hesitation. "I’m your mother, not a criminal!"
"Slap!" Ji Mo was slapped so hard that he lost his balance. A clear palm print could be seen on his pale face. Wu Tong turned a blind eye to it. She was still hooting. "You still dare to question me? I haven’t asked you yet. Who asked you to take a leave of school? Do you still acknowledge me as your mother? It’s harder for me to see you now than it is to ascend to the heavens. You were in my belly for ten months. I had endured so much pain to give birth to you. Do I have to beg to meet you now?"
