Chapter 102: Taking in a Child

“What’s the deal with this kid?” Jin Mo raised his head, pointed at the child next to Zhao Chengxi, and asked.

Zhao Chengxi had just escaped from Bai Xian’s cold gaze. Hearing Jin Mo’s words, he turned to look at the child who had been silent beside him.

“Oh, I forgot the main thing!” He slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

Xu Jiahao was startled. He always thought Xiao Feiwu was the only one who was so loud and always gave people unexpected frights. Now it seemed that all martial arts practitioners were the same.

Of course, except for Bai Xian, who was a special breed.

Xiao Feiwu glared at Zhao Chengxi!

Zhao Chengxi was a little confused.

“Who exactly is this kid?”

Jin Mo pulled the train, which was about to head in another direction, back on track again.

“Oh, oh, oh, his name is Xiaogou (Little Dog), and he’s an orphan!”

Jin Mo’s forehead was covered with black lines after hearing this.

What’s going on these days? Orphans popping up everywhere?

Zhao Chengxi pointed at Xiaogou, who was looking down and picking at his fingers, “Didn’t I tell you last time about the guy with the broken leg having a kid at home? Well, this is him!”

“Ah? His brother? Or his son?”

Zhao Chengxi shook his head, “Neither!”

Jin Mo sat up straight from Bai Xian’s embrace, leaning back with his head raised.

Bai Xian had one arm around Jin Mo and the other holding his hand, stroking it. His eyes were fixed on Jin Mo’s face from beginning to end, seemingly unconcerned about the outside world.

Jin Mo counterattacked, using both hands to sandwich Bai Xian’s slender hand in the middle, playing with it while continuing to inquire.

“Then where did this kid come from? Was he kidnapped?”

“No, it’s not like that. He’s a kid from a neighboring family. He was born with a disability, and they wanted to abandon him, but he (the guy with the broken leg) took him back!”

“Disability? What kind?” Jin Mo’s eyes sized Xiaogou up and down, seeing him complete with all his limbs, he couldn’t tell where he was disabled.

Zhao Chengxi pointed at Xiaogou’s ears.

“Congenital deaf-mute.”

Jin Mo opened his mouth, looking at the child who had been silent all along, and felt a pang of heartache.

A world without sound must be very lonely!

“The search on the other side of the mountain has ended. Not only did they find the victim in my case, but they also found another victim.”

“Both of them were scammed by four people and then abandoned in the mountains.”

“The four were used to the mountains and thought others could walk out as well.”

“As a result…”

Zhao Chengxi stopped halfway and took a sip of water.

“Two of them went the wrong way, entered the depths of the mountains, fell into a ditch, and died!”

“I’m planning to leave tomorrow and take this kid to the orphanage on the way!”

“Can I stay for one night tonight? I’m penniless now, living on credit cards!”

Zhao Chengxi leaned forward slightly, looking at Jin Mo with a flattering smile.

Jin Mo gave him a contemptuous look.

Zhao Chengxi smiled while raising his hand to rub Xiaogou’s head.

Xiaogou was startled, raised his head, and revealed a pair of flustered and helpless eyes, like an abandoned puppy.

Xiaogou met Jin Mo’s gaze.

In that instant, Jin Mo’s heart softened, and he smiled at Xiaogou.

Xiaogou seemed to be startled by him, staring at Jin Mo without blinking, as if he had found his master.

His body also slid off the sofa, and under everyone’s surprised gazes, he moved to Jin Mo’s side and grabbed his pant leg with his little hand.

Bai Xian’s gaze remained on Jin Mo’s face.

Jin Mo stretched out a hand and gently patted Xiaogou’s hand.

Looking at the little person in front of him, he thought of himself. If he hadn’t encountered Jin Baiyan again and again, he might have starved to death in the fields long ago, or died young in an orphanage, or become a street urchin.

An idea formed in his mind.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Xian.

The two looked at each other, their eyes locked.

“Whatever you want!” Bai Xian uttered two words softly.

Jin Mo smiled instantly.

He knew that Bai Xian would understand what he meant. As expected, without even asking, Bai Xian gave him an answer.

Xu Jiahao probably guessed what was going on and secretly envied him.

Whether it was Xiao Feiwu or the Xiaogou in front of him, they seemed to be luckier than him.

Xiao Feiwu saw that Xu Jiahao’s eyes were a little red and didn’t understand what was wrong with him, but he instinctively raised his arm and put it around Xu Jiahao’s shoulder.

Xu Jiahao’s gaze fell on the rough and dark hand on his shoulder, and the little bit of envy he had just felt vanished instantly.

Maybe he was also lucky, just a little later than others!

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

Xiao Feiwu saw the smile on Xu Jiahao’s face, and his mood also relaxed!

Zhao Chengxi looked at Xiaogou in shock.

From the moment he picked up this little guy, he had been keeping his head down, expressionless, neither smiling nor crying, and not getting close to anyone. He didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to grab Jin Mo’s pant leg and lean on him.

Zhao Chengxi couldn’t help but rub his forehead.

This little kid is quite perceptive!

He knew who was the richest, who had the most say, and who was the most soft-hearted in the entire room at this moment!

It seemed that he didn’t need to go to the orphanage anymore!

Zhao Chengxi glanced at Jin Mo, who was nestled in Bai Xian’s arms, looking delicate and soft, and finally understood why Jin Baiyan would cherish him so much.

They were different only when facing each other.

Jin Mo looked down at the child beside his leg, raised his hand, pointed at him, then pointed at himself, and then made a gesture of walking forward with his hand.

“You, want to, come with me?”

Coordinating with the movements of his hand, Jin Mo slowly uttered a sentence.

Xiaogou stared at Jin Mo’s gestures with trembling eyes, then looked at Jin Mo’s eyes, and finally nodded.

Jin Mo smiled.

“Okay! Then come with me!”

After saying that, he leaned into Bai Xian’s arms.

Zhao Chengxi, sitting directly opposite the three, had the feeling of seeing a family of three.

Upstairs, Pei Qingqing almost smashed the room!

“I’m an outsider? Xiao Feiwu actually said I’m an outsider? I’ve known Jin Baiyan for over twenty years, and I’ve been eating at the Jin family’s house since I was little. How dare he say I’m an outsider!”

The more Pei Qingqing spoke, the angrier she became, and her beautiful face became more and more distorted.

Ruan Ying leaned back on the sofa, watching Pei Qingqing’s angry and frustrated appearance, and her mood was also extremely bad.

“He’s just a bodyguard, how dare he say I’m an outsider!”

“I’m Miss Pei, even if my grandfather has retired, we’re still not just any ordinary family!”

“How dare he shout at me!”

“Jin Baiyan actually told me to get out, really… it’s infuriating!”

Pei Qingqing was so angry that she felt like her internal organs were burning, smoke was coming from the top of her head, her hands and feet were shaking, and her whole body was trembling.

Ruan Ying handed her a bottle of water and said in a suppressed tone, “Drink some water and calm down! Getting angry won’t solve the problem!”

Pei Qingqing’s head was almost on fire at this moment, how could she calm down.

“Calm down my ass! No, I have to take action as soon as possible, or I’m afraid I’ll go crazy!”

She plopped down on the sofa and stared at Ruan Ying.

“When are you planning to take action?”

Ruan Ying rubbed her forehead, feeling a little helpless.

“Right now, Jin Mo’s leg cast hasn’t been removed yet, and Bai Xian doesn’t allow him to appear alone at all. What can we do? Even if we take action, what are the chances of success?”

“If you really can’t stand it, I advise you to leave!”

“I finally understand why you’ve been fighting against Jin Mo for twenty years and still haven’t accomplished anything!”

“Look at you, just a word from a brute has made you lose your composure. If this continues, you won’t only fail to achieve anything, but you’ll also ruin things!”

“Think about it yourself!”

Ruan Ying finished speaking in one breath, turned and went into the room, leaving a stunned Pei Qingqing behind.
