Chapter 690 Xiao Ruiyuan’s Little Calculations (3)_1
Mo Qingze looked at Yang Bao with puzzlement. Shouldn’t such matters be discussed privately within the family? The village chief was certainly overstepping!
Yang Bao’s face showed an awkward expression as he rubbed his hands uneasily and finally clenched his teeth as he said, "If Mr. Mo plans to host a celebration, I hope Mr. Mo would invite a few village heads from nearby villages!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingze thought Yang Bao was trying to use the occasion to flaunt Liu Yang Village’s prestige, so he shook his head and said, "Yanyan’s being conferred the title of County Lord is a vast display of Imperial grace, and I, as her father, am both joyful and proud! However, the village head also knows well that my Mo Family has a modest foundation; suddenly receiving such a grand title could easily attract envy. At the moment, it really isn’t suitable to draw attention, so..."
Yang Bao hadn’t thought of that and, after hearing Mo Qingze’s words, inwardly called himself careless and guiltily said, "I didn’t take these matters into consideration. I hope Mr. Mo won’t take it to heart."
Mo Qingze smiled warmly, "The village head should not mind! Once this period passes, my family will invite our close friends over to celebrate. If the village head has time, you must come over for a drink then. As for the other village heads... if they wish to come over to offer congratulations, my Mo Family welcomes them wholeheartedly!"
What a turn of events this was; Yang Bao’s eyes lit up as he repeatedly agreed, "Good, good! I’ll definitely attend the banquet. At that time, I also ask for Mr. Mo’s advice, as it’s all for the good of our village."
Ask for advice? Mo Qingze was puzzled, wondering what advice he could possibly offer in the presence of other village heads to benefit Liu Yang Village?
Yang Bao himself smiled happily, oblivious to the confusion on Mo Qingze’s face.
