the problem with marrying rich out of the way ex
The middle-aged couple invited Mo Ling to their office and they looked at him gratefully.
Mo Ling looked at the couple and sat diagonally across them.
“How is she?” he asked.
He could still remember the woman lying motionlessly on the road, bleeding from her forehead and her arms, pale and unconscious.
The woman’s father replied, “Mr. Mo, thank goodness Fei Fei has regained consciousness. She didn’t sustain any critical injuries so the doctor said that she would be discharged in a week’s time.”
Mo Ling smiled.
“That’s good. If that’s the case, you should head back to the hospital to care for her. I appreciate your gesture but I truly don’t have the time to go to the hospital to visit your doctor,” he said.
He didn’t think that there was a need to see a woman whom he didn’t even know. He didn’t need to hear the woman expressing her gratitude toward him.
“But…” the middle-aged man started but his wife cut him off.
She unzipped her bag and took out a red packet that looked like it was stuffed with a wad of cash.
Mo Ling was speechless and he blinked up at her as understanding dawned.
The woman brought the thick red packet to him and said, “Mr. Mo, this is a gesture of appreciation from both of us. We’d like to thank you and your father for your act of kindness in saving our daughter.” She took his hand in hers and held it tightly.
Mo Ling frowned and wanted to turn her down but she had already placed the red packet on his office desk.
“There isn’t any need to do this,” he said.
Mo Ling didn’t know how to react. What was this? If it was money, he had more than enough and he didn’t lack money at all. He didn’t like others trying to repay his gesture of kindness with money.
“Auntie..” he said as he picked up the thick red packet on his office desk and handed it back to the middle-aged woman. “Please keep the cash. As you can see, I’m the boss of this company, so I don’t lack cash at all.”
Mo Ling said calmly.
The middle-aged couple paused in surprise and looked at each other in dismay. They seemed a little embarrassed because they didn’t know how else they could express their thanks to their daughter’s savior.
“Please let us treat you and your father to a meal. Would you be able to make time?” the middle-aged man finally said after he thought for a moment.
Mo Ling might not need their cash but he felt that they should still find a way to express their gratitude.
Mo Ling looked down and thought for a moment before he shook his head.
“There’s no need for you to stand on ceremony,” Mo Ling didn’t know how to handle this overly enthusiastic couple since he couldn’t kick them out of his office either.
“How about this, I’ll pay your daughter a visit if I have time over the next two days. Her word of thanks is more than sufficient,” he said.
He wanted to see what the woman was like and at the same time, he was worried that the woman insisted on coming to the company to personally express her gratitude after she was discharged, just as her parents were doing.
The middle-aged couple was extremely excited and the middle-aged woman held his hands again.
“Mr. Mo, we’re really grateful for your kindness. Our daughter just mentioned yesterday that she wanted to meet you and that she would personally come to call on you after she’s discharged,” she said.
Mo Ling thought that there was no need for her to visit.
