Chapter 682: 684, I am your only uncle (first update)
"Yes, Miss Luo." The servants hurriedly took the things from the Old Madam Mo’s hands.
"Auntie Mo, let’s leave, don’t bother with these kinds of people." Luo Yu hooked Old Madam Mo’s arm again, feigning affection, as she now only wanted to quickly distance herself from this place.
The middle-aged man who looked like a beggar was none other than Luo Yu’s uncle, Luo Yingjie.
Luo Yu had never expected to encounter Luo Yingjie here.
Luo Yingjie was nothing but a rascal, the lowest of the low! Indulging in all vices like eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, he knew them all.
In Luo Yu’s eyes, he was just a lowly commoner!
Such a person was simply not worthy to be her uncle.
As a matter of fact, Luo Yu had long ago forgotten her own relatives.
In her consciousness, only the members of the Chu Family were her relatives, her support.
Luo Yingjie was still chasing after her.
Luo Yu turned back and said coldly.
"Sir, I think you have mistaken me for someone else! I’m not your so-called Luo Yu. I am Luo Yu, with ’Luo’ from ’Yi Luo chuan fang,’ and ’Yu’ from ’Ban Jiejun Yu,’ not the Luo Yu you’re talking about!"
Initially, Luo Yu despised her own name for being too common, so she completely changed these two characters from head to toe.
Not only had the name changed, but Luo Yu was no longer the Luo Yu of the past.
She was now Luo Yu.
The most honorable woman in the Superpower World!
Luo Yu would never acknowledge her past self.
"Luo Yu, good for you, Luo Yu! Now that you have climbed up the social ladder, you actually deny even your uncle! And changed your name and surname, right? Good! Very good!" Luo Yingjie’s eyes flashed with malevolence, "Let me tell you, don’t think that just by changing your name, I won’t recognize that you are Luo Yu! Since you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being unrighteous! Beware that you don’t regret it when the time comes."
The last sentence contained a threatening tone.
Luo Yu stopped in her tracks and said to Old Madam Mo, "Auntie Mo, please wait here for a moment. I’ll go and have a look."
Old Madam Mo glanced at her, "You go deal with your matters first. Lan and Qing He, let’s go home. Qingshuang and Cui Zhu, stay and take care of Miss Luo."
With that said, Old Madam Mo turned and left, followed closely by Lan and Qing He.
The faces of Lan and Qingshuang were not unfamiliar to the people of the Superpower World, after all, these two were favorites by Old Madam Mo’s side. Once Old Madam Mo left, the people would recognize Lan and Qing He.
In that case, Luo Yu’s scheme would have succeeded.
That was why Old Madam Mo suggested bringing Lan and Qing He with her.
Now, Luo Yu could not bother to assert her authority with Old Madam Mo anymore.
A flicker of worry crossed her eyes as she quickly approached Luo Yingjie and asked in a lowered voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Luo Yingjie sneered, "Heh, now you recognize me? Let me tell you, now that you’ve climbed high, don’t even think about shaking me off. Otherwise, I will reveal all your past scandals."
Luo Yingjie hadn’t bathed in half a month, and his smell was not pleasant.
Luo Yu frowned and pulled out her wallet, placing it in Luo Yingjie’s hands, "Take this and scram! Don’t say we know each other ever again!"
Luo Yu knew what Luo Yingjie’s goal was.
He just wanted money, so she gave him all the money she had on her.
It wasn’t the first time Luo Yingjie had blackmailed Luo Yu.
Luo Yingjie weighed the wallet in his hand and sneered mockingly, "My dear niece, you think with just this bit of money, you can get rid of me?"
"That’s all I have!" Luo Yu couldn’t stand it any longer.
How could she be so unlucky!
Actually having an uncle like Luo Yingjie, so disgusting.
Why were other people’s uncles either wealthy gentry or high-ranking officials?
Instead, her uncle was a rogue who couldn’t show his face in public!
Just then, Luo Yingjie took a strong sniff and said, "Yo, turns out you’re pregnant, no wonder you’re so high-and-mighty! Tell me, if people found out about those dirty things you did in the past, could you still be so haughty?"
Luo Yu bit her lip, with a hint of venom in her eyes, "Luo Yingjie, if you know what’s good for you, you’d take this money and get lost! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude! If you push me to desperation, I am capable of anything!"
From the look in Luo Yu’s eyes, it was evident she was contemplating murder.
Luo Yingjie was not afraid, but laughed even more intensely, with an ironic tone, "You know what your uncle I am capable of, even if you kill me, I will still spill all your dirty secrets, believe it or not?"
Luo Yingjie had far too many shameful facts about Luo Yu.
Any single one could ruin Luo Yu completely.
That was why Luo Yu was so wary of Luo Yingjie.
Luo Yu clenched her teeth, "Name your price!"
Luo Yingjie did indeed have no small talent, and Luo Yu was very aware of it.
It was just that Luo Yingjie never used his skills on the right path, only ever scheming how to steal and sneak around.
Upon hearing this, laughter twinkled in Luo Yingjie’s eyes, "Actually, your uncle’s request is very simple. I don’t want your money or to name a price. As the saying goes, when one person attains Tao, even the family poultry ascends to heaven. Now that you have become a rich lady, you surely can’t leave me to wander outside, can you?"
What Luo Yingjie meant was straightforward—he wanted to move in with Luo Yu into the Mo family.
Money would run out someday, but having a solid backing could ensure a life without worry forever.
Luo Yingjie was no fool.
He knew how to look out for himself.
"What are you talking about? Dream on!" Luo Yu, realizing what Luo Yingjie meant, was somewhat incredulous.
He wanted to move into the Mo family with her?
In a dream, perhaps?
Luo Yu would absolutely never admit to having such an uncle.
Luo Yingjie scoffed, "Yu Yu, if you want to keep my mouth shut tighter, you have no choice. Don’t worry, after I move in with that family, I will not say a single word out of place. I am, after all, your only uncle. I expect that family to treat me kindly, otherwise..."
Luo Yu clenched her fists, "Just come with me for now."
By this point, Luo Yu had no choice but to stabilize Luo Yingjie first.
The current Madame Mo held her own belly in such high regard, always obliging and submissive; she probably wouldn’t mind her bringing one more person back to the Mo family.
Luo Yingjie said no more and followed Luo Yu, a calculating gleam in his eyes. From now on, he, Luo Yingjie, would be able to reach the pinnacle of life.
From Luo Yu’s attire, it was clear that she belonged to an immensely wealthy family, the kind that was rich beyond compare.
Luo Yu brought Luo Yingjie into an upscale club.
When they came out again, Luo Yingjie seemed like a completely different person.
They say clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse; that saying proved to be true.
After changing into expensive clothes and taking a bath, Luo Yingjie was transformed, but that inherently sleazy quality of his remained.
"These clothes, this fabric, tsk tsk tsk, I’ve never worn such fine clothes in my life. Yu Yu, these must be extremely expensive, right?" Luo Yingjie said, beaming with joy.
Seeing how unsophisticated Luo Yingjie was, Luo Yu frowned with distaste. This kind of person wouldn’t even resemble a prince if dressed in dragon robes!
"All right! All right! Let’s go," she said.
Luo Yingjie quickly stepped to Luo Yu’s side, speaking arrogantly, "Luo Yu, let me warn you, you better be nice to me, or else you won’t have an easy time!" The last sentence was laden with threats.
Luo Yu clenched her fists with great restraint.
For the moment, Luo Yingjie felt even more triumphant.
Luo Yu turned to the two servants by her side and said, "You two, go get me a car."
"Yes," Qingshuang and Cui Zhu swiftly stepped back and left.
Watching the two depart, a lascivious light appeared in Luo Yingjie’s eyes, "Those two girls aren’t bad at all..."
Luo Yu helplessly frowned and reminded him, "I’m warning you, once we get to the Mo family, you’d better repress those filthy thoughts of yours. The Mo family is no ordinary household. If you offend someone there, not only will you have no good days ahead, but I will also suffer alongside you."
Luo Yingjie withdrew his gaze, "I know, I know, you just worry about yourself. As long as I have food, drink, and money, I’ll definitely not cause you trouble," he said.
Indeed, just as Luo Yu had expected, Madame Mo didn’t object much when she brought Luo Yingjie back, and even arranged a guest room for him.
Now, Luo Yu’s pregnancy was the most important matter.
However, ever since Luo Yingjie arrived, the atmosphere in the entire Mo family had changed.
Relying on being Luo Yu’s uncle, Luo Yingjie practically acted like the lord of the Mo family.
Bossing people around and swaggering through the Mo family, the servants were very afraid of this ’Uncle Master’.
Luo Yingjie also bullied the weak on the streets.
In any case, Luo Yu was behind him, cleaning up the mess.
Luo Yu was choking with frustration.
She thought she was already high and dry, untouchable, but she never expected someone to appear who could threaten her at any time.
The military base.
After sleeping in the dormitory for two days, Mo Qingyi only got up to look for food at noon on the third day.
It was another season where she was too lazy to chase even if a boyfriend ran away.
The sunlight outside was intense, turning the earth into a natural oven. Within just three minutes of stepping outside, Mo Qingyi started to sweat profusely.
The dining hall was packed with people at mealtime, bustling and incredibly crowded.
Mo Qingyi stood on tiptoes and peeked inside; it was a dense crowd of people, with a wave of heat hitting her, instantly killing her appetite.
Remembering she still had some fruit left in the dorm, Mo Qingyi turned around and headed back. She was on leave for a few days and didn’t have to take part in training, so eating less wasn’t an issue.
It was also a good opportunity to diet.
She walked along, idly kicking stones on the ground.
"Mo Qingyi," a magnetic male voice called out from behind her.
Mo Qingyi stopped in her tracks, slowly turned back to look at the person, and squinted her eyes.
The man seemed about 1.8 meters tall, dressed in smart military attire, his skin somewhat dark but with very handsome features—sharp brows and piercing eyes, his body exuding a rebelliousness and toughness not found in ordinary people.
He looked at Mo Qingyi with an almost amused expression, a faint sunlight in the depth of his eyes, those pitch-black pupils deep like a pool of water.
Mo Qingyi faltered for a moment, then laughed, walking up to him and playfully punching his chest, "Well, well, if it isn’t Duanmu Xiaosi? Tsk, tsk, two bars and four stars, climbing up the ranks nicely in just one year!"
"Thanks to you," Duanmu Zhe casually draped his hand over Mo Qingyi’s shoulder, "I’m doing okay."
"Come on, let’s go have a drink," Mo Qingyi looked up into his eyes, trying to sound nonchalant.
Ever since Chu Jin’s funeral a year ago, Mo Qingyi hadn’t seen Duanmu Zhe again. He, just like Chu Jin, had completely disappeared from her life.
She never expected to bump into Duanmu Zhe here today.
And clearly, Duanmu Zhe’s military rank was now higher than her own.
Now that Duanmu Zhe had returned, she wondered if Chu Jin would also come back with him.
Looking at Duanmu Zhe, Mo Qingyi felt an urge to cry.
But she forcefully suppressed it.
"Sure," Duanmu Zhe said, glancing down at Mo Qingyi, "but first, come with me to the dorm to change clothes."
"Sure," Mo Qingyi nodded.
Duanmu Zhe walked on with his arm around Mo Qingyi’s shoulders, as if they were the best of brothers.
As they passed, other soldiers gave them curious looks.
The two of them.
One had just been transferred in as a colonel, the other was known as the cold beauty of the military—how on earth had these two come together?
Moreover, they were arm in arm.
While it’s true that officers in the military tend to be informal and rarely differentiate by gender.
These two, however, seemed too familiar for a first meeting, was that indeed alright?
They walked on in this pose, and Duanmu Zhe asked, "I heard you went home on leave. I was planning to visit your mother, why did you come back?"
