Chapter 176 Sibling Relationship, Frenzied Flattery
Chapter 176 Sibling Relationship, Frenzied Flattery
Nie Xiaoning, a school bully, dared not go against the young master of the Mo family. He immediately nodded like an ostrich, promising never to do it again.
Mo Feiao threw Nie Xiaoning back to the ground, his cold eyes sweeping over the few boys standing by, especially the two who had confessed to Ning Yao. His gaze was utterly sinister, like a sharp, menacing blade piercing one's scalp.
Upon being looked at by Mo Fei'ao, the two boys immediately cowered. Before Mo Fei'ao could make a move, they knelt down and moved over.
"Young Master Mo, we were wrong. We will never have any improper thoughts again!"
"We will never again abandon Luo Xiyao's affairs. Anyone who dares to bully Luo Xiyao is bullying us!"
"Please, don't hold a grudge against us useless cowards!"
The girls were amazed. At first, they thought the two boys looked respectable, but now it seemed they were no match for even a toe of Young Master Mo.
A man's knees are worth gold; they're so cowardly. Just now they were so arrogant, sitting there watching Luo Xiyao make a fool of herself.
Mo Fei'ao, annoyed that hitting them would dirty his hands, snorted and left the dance studio, happily heading off to find Ning Yao.
Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng were taken to a high-end restaurant near the school. While waiting, Cui Mengmeng kept looking around at the surroundings, her eyes filled with greedy gleam.
This restaurant is so expensive! With her meager living expenses, she never even dreamed of eating at a place like this.
She glanced at the prices on the menu, was so startled that she quickly dropped it, buried her head, clasped her hands together, and silently recited a few Buddhist scriptures.
After regaining her senses, Cui Mengmeng finally looked at Luo Xiyao, who was sitting calmly in front of her.
"Yaoyao, is Young Master Mo your biological brother? Why don't you have the same surname? Are you cousins?"
"He's not my biological brother, we just met him on the street." Ning Yao was asked about her relationship with Mo Fei'ao, but explaining it would take too long, so she simply gave a perfunctory answer.
Anyway, the process doesn't matter; now Mo Feiao just calls her "sister."
"Huh?" Cui Mengmeng's eyes widened, her expression completely incredulous.
Is it possible for her to just randomly pick up a rich young master from the street to be her younger brother? Should she not go to school and instead sit on the street waiting for a lucky break? Maybe she could even meet a young master from one of the five great families of the capital and become related to him?
Just then, Rabbit—no, Young Master Mo Fei'ao—arrived.
"Sis, have you ordered yet?" Mo Fei'ao sat down opposite the two girls with a carefree and sunny smile, showing no trace of the gloomy demeanor he had in the dance studio.
"No, look at what you want to eat. We've already eaten." Ning Yao was indeed a little hungry, but she didn't plan to eat.
Now that she's in the entertainment industry, she'll have to take care of her figure; she can't have even a bit of extra fat.
Eating so late at night makes it easy for fat to accumulate, so she needs to squeeze in more time to run and exercise to burn it off.
Cui Mengmeng sighed. She had thought Luo Xiyao was Mo Feiao's cousin. If there was no kinship at all, then Luo Xiyao was probably just as poor as her, and her skincare products were probably fake.
She had heard of people stuffing affordable skincare products into high-end skincare containers to appear more wealthy than they are. There are even online stores that specialize in selling boxes from high-end skincare brands. She had browsed them when she was curious before, and the bottles and containers alone cost several hundred yuan.
No wonder Luo Xiyao didn't order any dishes earlier; they were ridiculously expensive.
Since Luo Xiyao has no family relationship with Young Master Mo, she felt embarrassed to accept his food. It wouldn't be worthwhile for her to pay for these things herself.
Cui Mengmeng thought to herself, also preparing to protect her friend's self-esteem and not point out her actions.
"Mengmeng, aren't you going to eat?" Ning Yao noticed that Cui Mengmeng usually ate and drank excessively in the dormitory. She had a special cabinet for snacks, which was filled with all kinds of desserts and spicy strips, and she seemed to enjoy eating them quite a bit.
Cui Mengmeng shook her head. Like Luo Xiyao, she came from a working-class family and couldn't afford to pay for the meal.
Although she could have gotten a free meal and let Young Master Mo treat her, she felt too embarrassed since it was their first time meeting.
"If you're not going to eat anything, just have some drinks. This place has freshly squeezed fruit juice from air-freighted fruit, as well as non-GMO whole grain juice. It's good for you girls to maintain your figure." Mo Fei'ao ordered two pitchers for them, one fruit juice and one whole grain juice.
When Cui Mengmeng saw the handsome waiter bring over two pitchers of drinks, she glanced at the price and almost fainted on the spot.
Just two jugs of juice and whole grains cost 400 yuan. Is this restaurant trying to rob us?
"After we finish eating, I'll take you to Yuhua Mall. I'm going there anyway." Mo Fei'ao held his knife and fork, smiling like a peacock.
Yuhua Mall? That's the largest shopping mall in the capital, with all kinds of world-renowned luxury brands, and limited edition clothes, shoes, jewelry and bags. If you can imagine it, you can buy it.
It's no exaggeration to say that it was a paradise for women in the capital!
Cui Mengmeng certainly wanted to go, but she didn't have the money to buy tickets and was too embarrassed to appear in such a high-end place.
Ning Yao took a sip of juice and glanced at Cui Mengmeng's expression. Seeing the longing in her eyes, she couldn't help but find it amusing.
"Okay, it's fine to go for a walk, but we have to get back to school before the dormitory curfew."
Upon hearing Luo Xiyao's invitation, Cui Mengmeng happily downed two glasses of coarse grain juice, grinning like a憨厚地地鼠 (a kind of憨厚地地鼠 is a Chinese idiom meaning a simple, honest, and simple-minded person).
"No problem, with me, Mo Shao, as your driver, things won't go wrong."
Even if he brought an extra person, it wouldn't matter, as long as he could get along with Ning Yao, Mo Fei'ao thought happily.
This meal was probably the one he had the best appetite in the last two months.
Upon arriving at Yuhua Mall, Mo Fei'ao gentlemanly opened the car door for the two girls.
Cui Mengmeng seemed to still be enjoying the luxury car, touching the car seat and the window, and secretly taking out her phone to take a bunch of pictures of herself.
Ning Yao snatched Cui Mengmeng's phone and said with a forced smile, "Silly girl, Young Master Mo is waiting. Get out of the car."
"Oh, oh." Cui Mengmeng scratched her head a little embarrassedly and got out of the car with Ning Yao.
Right in front of me is Yuhua Mall, which is ridiculously large. The windows around it are polished to a shine, and the whole mall looks like an irregular crystal.
Cui Mengmeng excitedly grabbed Ning Yao's arm and whispered, "This mall is so beautiful! It truly deserves to be called the top shopping center in our capital city!"
Ning Yao smiled and said nothing. The two girls linked arms and happily entered the shopping paradise.
Along the way, whenever Ning Yao's gaze lingered on an item for more than three seconds, Mo Fei'ao would have it bought and packed up.
Cui Mengmeng kept swallowing, her mind drifting into speculation about the relationship between Luo Xiyao and Mo Feiao.
This doesn't look like a sibling relationship at all. Young Master Mo's behavior is clearly that of someone fawning over a goddess.
