Chapter 23
Finding Fault
Qin Mo entered through the main entrance, and everyone's attention immediately turned to him.
"Who is this person?"
"Never seen him before... Could he be Su Wanxing's fiancé?"
"Impossible! Look at him..."
Su Wanxing walked over quickly and was surprised to see Qin Mo's appearance: "What happened to you? Are you alright?"
There's no other reason than that Qin Mo's appearance was indeed somewhat disheveled at the moment.
He wasn't injured, but there was some blood on his clothes and pants.
But Su Wanxing's immediate concern for his condition made Qin Mo feel much better: "I've run into a little trouble, but it's not my blood."
Su Wanxing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Ke'er told me you didn't want to come, and I thought you were going to break your contract."
"Is that so?" Qin Mo looked up at Zhao Ke'er, whose gaze flickered away.
But before he could confront Zhao Ke'er, he heard someone exclaim in exaggerated surprise, "Oh my, Wanxing, what's going on?"
"Our banquet was going well, how did we let these thugs in?"
"Your security is terrible. Get this person out of here right now."
Aunt Su pinched her nose and looked at Qin Mo with a look of disgust.
Chen Shuqi looked Qin Mo up and down, and became even more gloating: No wonder he didn't dare to come for so long, he really is a hoodlum!
Aunt Su's shout brought everyone over.
Su Dingshan and Shen Biqin followed, the latter barely able to hide her disgust.
"What happened to you? Are you trying to embarrass our family by getting into this state? Get out of here!"
She was so angry she clutched her chest, wishing she could throw Qin Mo out immediately.
Su Dingshan, however, asked Qin Mo a few questions, inquiring whether he had encountered any trouble.
People around them were talking about it.
At this moment, Su Wanxing took Qin Mo's arm and said loudly, "Since all the uncles and elders are here, I would like to introduce myself to everyone."
"The man beside me, Qin Mo, is my fiancé."
"We'll be getting our marriage certificate within a month!"
These words immediately brought the family dinner to a climax.
Shen Biqin nearly fainted from anger upon hearing this.
If Su Dingshan hadn't stopped her, and if so many people hadn't been watching, she would have already started making a scene.
As for the others, there was even more discussion.
"Did I hear that right? Su Wanxing is the legitimate daughter of the Su family, and she ended up with such a petty hoodlum?"
"Damn, what a waste!"
"That kid got off easy! My goddess, how did she get dirty by a pile of dog poop?"
For a moment, the women in the room were gloating, and the men were gritting their teeth, all discussing Qin Mo.
However, Aunt Su and Uncle Su's expressions were not so pleasant.
After all, if Su Wanxing really finds a son-in-law, then the board of directors will no longer have any grounds to impeach her!
"That can't be right, Wanxing." Sure enough, Uncle Su was the first to get restless: "I've never heard of anyone named Qin Mo before when I was in Xichuan."
"Among the powerful and influential families of Xichuan, is the Qin family among them?"
"You didn't just send someone to fob us off, did you?"
Aunt Su quickly chimed in, "Yes, if you hire an actor to fool us, we won't stand for it!"
Chen Shuqi fiddled with her nail polish in the back, looking disgusted: "Exactly, cousin, even if you're going to find actors, at least find someone decent-looking."
"This petty thug, does he even deserve to stand with us and speak?"
"If you ask me, cousin, just tell the truth."
As soon as the two families spoke, the other shareholders present also cast skeptical glances at them.
However, with Su Dingshan present, they remained silent.
"Second Uncle, Third Aunt, I didn't lie to you."
Su Wanxing was very frank, holding Qin Mo's hand: "Qin Mo and I got married three years ago. You can ask my dad if you don't believe me."
"Also, he's not some petty thug, nor is he a rich young master; he's a doctor."
"He cured my illness."
Although she knew that Qin Mo was currently an unemployed man who had just been released from prison.
As a son-in-law, Qin Mo's noble birth is not required; those of noble birth would not marry into such a family.
But at the very least, you need to have a respectable job.
Otherwise, Uncle Su and his group would definitely seize on this point and find fault, and the board of directors would not agree.
"A doctor? And he saved you?" Aunt Su rolled her eyes. "Wanxing, don't try to fool us elders."
"Even the experts at the Central Hospital are helpless when it comes to your illness."
"He's so young, it would be a miracle if he could be cured."
Uncle Su chimed in, "That's right, Wanxing, you can't make up a story about your illness just to give him credit."
The two of them took turns distorting the facts, determined to smear Qin Mo's identity.
Su Wanxing also realized that no matter what she said, these two people could find fault with it.
They harbor ill intentions and will absolutely not acknowledge Qin Mo.
Su Dingshan frowned, and was about to speak up when Shen Biqin grabbed him.
"What are you doing? I'm telling you, you're not allowed to speak up for that kid today!"
Shen Biqin warned him unhappily, "I don't care what you two think of this kid, but if he can't even handle your brother and sister, he doesn't deserve to be in our family!"
"You..." Su Dingshan was speechless.
However, it must be admitted that Shen Biqin's words have some merit.
If he offered to help, others wouldn't say anything, but the board of directors would definitely still have doubts about Qin Mo's identity.
It's better to let them solve it themselves.
Su Wanxing anticipated that they would cause trouble. Originally, she wanted Qin Mo to come over earlier so that she could go over the lines with him first.
But he arrived too late, and their information didn't match.
Just as she was wondering how to respond, Qin Mo suddenly spoke.
"This must be Aunt Su, right?" Qin Mo looked at Aunt Su and asked with a smile.
Aunt Su said warily and disdainfully, "Don't call me that. Who's your aunt? You dare to call me that?"
Qin Mo nodded: "Alright, ma'am."
Upon hearing this address, Su Wanxing was stunned for a moment and almost burst out laughing.
Aunt Su immediately flew into a rage: "Who are you calling 'auntie'?!"
"Whoever's an auntie, I'll call them that," Qin Mo said frankly. "Auntie, have you been experiencing frequent lower abdominal pain lately? No matter how good your skincare products are, you keep getting breakouts, and you also experience painful urination and chest tightness?"
Aunt Su was already preparing to unleash a torrent of abuse, but upon hearing this, she instinctively retorted, "How did you know?"
This scene surprised even Su Wanxing.
She turned to look at Qin Mo, who gave her a reassuring look.
For some reason, Su Wanxing suddenly felt very at ease.
Looking at Aunt Su again, Qin Mo smiled and said, "So it wasn't wrong of me to call you 'Auntie' earlier, because this is a side effect of forcibly using drugs to induce menstruation after you went through menopause."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Su's face turned bright red.
There was a moment of silence, but soon someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Even Su Wanxing's lips looked a little strained; she barely managed to hold back her laughter.
However, once the first person couldn't hold back, laughter immediately filled the room...
