Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

After saying that, he turned to look at Mo Hanzhou beside him and casually instructed, "Go to the study on the second floor and bring down the treasured tea I brought back this time, along with the congratulatory gift you prepared in advance. I was originally planning to rest for a few days and then visit him in person to express my gratitude, but I didn't expect him to come first, which saves me the trouble of making a trip."

"it is good."

Mo Hanzhou stood up in response, walked steadily upstairs, and retrieved the sealed tea and the exquisite brocade box.

When he came downstairs with his belongings, the living room was already filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The two old friends, who had known each other for decades, chatted happily, their laughter light and without any sense of distance.

Grandpa Lu looked up and saw Mo Hanzhou coming downstairs, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He smiled and said, "This must be Hanzhou?"

"Exactly," Old Master Mo replied with a smile.

Mo Hanzhou stepped forward slowly, his posture upright and his manners impeccable. He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Grandpa Lu."

"Good, good, good." Old Master Lu nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of emotion. "I still remember when I first met you, you were just a tiny little thing. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed. The little child of yesteryear has now grown into a capable leader who holds the reins of the vast Mo family."

"You flatter me too much," Mo Hanzhou said in a humble and composed tone.

Grandpa Mo chuckled and joked, "Don't keep praising him. Compared to your Jingxing, my grandson is far inferior."

When his grandson was mentioned, a deep sense of pride instantly welled up in Grandpa Lu's eyes, but his tone also carried a hint of helplessness: "Jingxing is indeed an outstanding child. His temperament, ability, and vision are all top-notch. It's just a pity that he is physically weak and has been plagued by old ailments for many years. He is my biggest worry."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Mo quickly changed the subject, not wanting his old friend to continue worrying about the younger generation's health. He gestured to the objects on the table, saying, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Come and see, this is a gift that Han Zhou specially prepared for you."

Grandpa Lu shifted his gaze to a set of blue and white porcelain tea set on the table, its texture warm and its glaze elegant. His eyes were full of affection: "Hanzhou is such a thoughtful child. It's quite an expense for you."

"If Grandpa Lu is pleased, that's good. It's only right for a junior to show proper respect." Mo Hanzhou's tone was calm and gentle.

"Haha, we've known each other for decades, there's no need for such formalities." Old Master Lu laughed heartily, then changed the subject, his eyes gleaming with a hint of gossip. "Speaking of which, there's something interesting that brought me here today. I originally planned to have Jingxing come with me, but that boy's been busy with his romance lately and can't find the time. When he has some free time, I'll definitely have him pay a proper visit to you all."

"Oh?" Old Master Mo's interest was instantly piqued, his eyes crinkling with a smile. "Jingxing's actually in love? I wonder which prestigious family's daughter has caught his eye?"

Grandpa Lu waved his hand, smiling gently: "She's not exactly a top-tier noblewoman, but the girl comes from a respectable family, is of good character, and is a good child."

Old Master Mo already understood that this girl must possess extraordinary abilities to subdue the aloof and chronically ill Lu Jingxing.

"That's really rare. I must meet that girl in person someday."

"No problem, I'll ask the two children about their schedules and pick a free day to bring Jingxing over for a visit."

Changing the subject, Old Master Lu asked with concern, "By the way, I heard a few days ago that you had a sudden heart attack in the antique street. What exactly happened? How could something so peacefully going on a shopping trip suddenly turn into a dangerous situation?"

With a sigh, Grandpa Mo recounted in detail the entire process of how he encountered danger that day, forgot to bring emergency medicine, nearly lost his life, and was finally saved by a stranger with acupuncture.

"That was a truly life-saving grace, and we must not neglect it." Old Master Lu said solemnly, "If this young lady hadn't intervened, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"I know perfectly well what's going on. I've already instructed Hanzhou to prepare generous gifts, and I'll personally visit tomorrow to express my gratitude."

After chatting for a while, Mr. Lu saw that his old friend was in good spirits and had no major health problems, so he got up and took his leave.

"I came here today mainly to visit you and make sure you're safe. I'll be relieved to see you safe and sound. Let's play a game of Go another day when you've had a full rest."

"No problem."

Mo Hanzhou got up to see him off, but Old Master Lu repeatedly declined, saying there was no need to see him off further. Mo Hanzhou remained courteous and escorted him all the way to the gate of the villa. Only after watching the old man get into the car and drive away did he turn around and return to the living room.

After taking his seat, Old Master Mo looked up at his eldest grandson beside him and instructed in a firm tone, "Tonight, carefully select a few presentable gifts. Tomorrow morning, we will personally visit the Li family to pay our respects to my savior."

"Understood, Grandpa, I'll arrange it immediately."

Silent all night.

The next day, Shen Jingshu had no classes in the morning. After a hearty breakfast, she relaxed on the spacious living room sofa of the Li family villa, casually scrolling through her phone and reading the comments from her fans in the live stream, looking lazy and carefree.

The old butler, who had served the Li family for many years, passed by the living room and caught a glimpse of this scene, which made him feel a bit curious.

Normally, Shen Jingshu spends most of her time on the Peking University campus, or goes out to handle metaphysical matters or start live broadcasts. She only occasionally returns to the villa at night to stay overnight and leaves in a hurry the next morning. She rarely spends the morning peacefully at home like she did today.

Outside the courtyard, a servant hurried into the hall and whispered to the butler, "Butler, the Mo family patriarch and Mr. Mo Hanzhou have arrived at the door. They say they have come specifically to visit Miss Jing Shu."

The butler was startled and filled with surprise. The Mo family had been rooted overseas for many years and had only just returned to China to make arrangements. Logically, they shouldn't have any dealings with his young mistress, so why would they make a special trip to visit her?

He was filled with mixed emotions, and felt more and more that Shen Jingshu was extraordinary in every way, and her actions and experiences were completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. But as surprised as he was, the butler was calm and experienced, and did not show the slightest loss of composure.

He clearly remembered the entire process of Shen Jingshu calmly breaking the deadly situation when the Li family's old mansion was entangled in the Yin Sha formation and the family's fortunes were trapped. He had witnessed the whole thing firsthand. From that moment on, he knew that this seemingly young stepdaughter of the Li family possessed extraordinary abilities and was far beyond what an ordinary girl could compare to.

The sudden visit of the Mo family was by no means accidental; it must be inextricably linked to Shen Jingshu herself.

The butler quickly composed himself, tidied his appearance, and hurried to the living room. He bowed and whispered to Shen Jingshu, "Miss Jingshu, Old Master Mo and Mo Hanzhou, the president of the Mo Group, are waiting outside the door. They said they have come to pay you a special visit."
