"What?
You don't know where the Mo family came from? "
"Brother, with our status, do you think they will come even if I invite them?"
"I just went to look for the old man. I wanted to ask him to entertain the guests personally. I also told him that the guests are from the Mo family, but he said he wasn't feeling well and wouldn't go."
"The old man's face is glowing and he's in good spirits. Saying he isn't feeling well is obviously an excuse. If the guests were invited by the old man, would he act like this?"
"That's weird."
"There's no use thinking too much. No matter what the reason is, the Mo family's presence brings glory to the Li family. We must entertain them well. If the old man won't go, I'll go myself!"
"Shizhong, contact them again. Invite as many as you can. Don't worry about the small amount of money."
"Yes, brother."
Li Shili instructed Shizhong and walked to the VIP area of the Mo family.
It was already dinner time. Li Shili ordered the servants to prepare the best dishes for the Mo family.
More than ten servants walked out of the Mo Clan's VIP room. Li Shili was slightly startled.
"Why did you come out?
Didn't I tell you to serve the Mo family well? "
"Xiao Dong, what's going on?"
Among the servants, one called Xiao Dong was the best at doing things.
Xiao Dong said, "Master, the Mo family is too hard to serve."
"Hard to serve?
How difficult is it to serve? "
Xiao Dong said with a bitter face, "That Miss Ziwei from the Mo family chased us and asked if we were willing to work for her. She even said she would pay us double. We didn't even dare to talk to her."
Another servant said, "The Mo family's head always has a straight face. We don't even dare to breathe in front of him. It's too much pressure."
"The Mo family's second master scolds us every time we bring him a dish, saying it tastes bad, has no standards, and so on and so forth …"
"Ah?" Li Shili was shocked.
"The higher the position, the bigger the temper."
Li Shili didn't like Mo Ziwei the most. She called him a snob the moment they met. He didn't like Mo Zhendong either. His straight face was too scary.
He didn't have a good impression of Mo Zhendong's second brother, Mo Zhennan. He had given them the best food, yet he said it was bad. Wasn't he deliberately making things difficult for them?
It seemed like Mo Ziyang was the only one in the Mo family who was easy to get along with.
Li Shili was deep in thought, trying to think of a way to build a good relationship with Mo Ziyang.
At this time, Xiao Dong said, "Old Master, that Mo Ziyang is the most unreasonable. He's a lunatic."
"What happened to Mo Ziyang?"
"He flipped the table, the dining table, the desk, the coffee table, everything."
"Huh?" Li Shili was stunned.
Li Shili walked into the VIP room of the Mo Family and saw that the place was in a mess. The Mo Family was gathered together and eating hotpot.
That's right, hot pot. They didn't know where they got the pot or the utensils. The family of four gathered together and ate while boiling hot pot.
The Mo family saw Li Shili walk in, but no one came forward to greet him.
"Patriarch Mo, Second Head, Young Master Mo, Young Lady Mo, have I, Li, failed to entertain you?"
Mo Ziwei nodded.
Mo Ziyang snorted and continued eating the hotpot.
Mo Zhennan put meat in the hotpot, and Mo Zhendong put vegetables in the hotpot.
"Please explain!"
"What is there to explain?
It's not like you didn't see that we're not used to your Li family's food, so we prepared our own hotpot. "
"Cough, this …"
Mo Zhennan said, "No need for this and that. It's just that your food isn't good. It's too dirty and tasteless."
Li Shili's face darkened.
"Dare I ask, who are you here for?"
Li Shili felt that he had to be clear. They were obviously looking for trouble. They could make a scene now since no one would know, but tomorrow was the birthday celebration. If they made a scene again, the Li family would lose all face.
Mo Zhennan looked up and said, "Ask your old man. He will tell you."
Li Shili was delighted, "So you're my old man's guests?"
Mo Zhennan nodded, "You can say that."
Li Shili was overjoyed.
It was only now that he could finally relax.
One had to know that even if the Mo family made a scene, he could only watch. He didn't even dare to stop them. There was no helping it, the gap was too big. One was a world-renowned family, the other was a small family that barely ranked in Shenjing. There was no comparison between the two.
Mo Zhennan said, "Don't worry, we'll make do for tomorrow's birthday. We'll eat whatever we can, we're not picky."
"Thank you!" Li Shili was grateful.
Mo Ziwei bit the tip of her silver chopstick, "If there's nothing else, you can leave first. I don't have much appetite after seeing you."
"Same." Mo Ziyang nodded with a mouthful of meat in his mouth.
Mo Zhennan put on a stern face, "Ziwei, Ziyang, what did my brother teach you?
You need to be polite outside. You can't just say whatever comes to your mind. You need to be tactful and leave people some face. "
Li Shili's face was red. He rubbed his hands and left awkwardly.
Outside, Li Shili let out a long sigh of relief.
Mo Zhennan, Mo Ziyang, and Mo Ziwei — while their words were a bit harsh, Li Shili could still handle it. It was the silent Mo Zhendong who gave Li Shili too much pressure.
In front of that old man, Li Shili felt like he couldn't even walk.
"The Mo family is really a synonym for arrogance. But as long as they're the old man's friends and don't make a scene, it doesn't matter."
"Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law!"
Just as Li Shili was feeling relaxed, Zhang Peng shouted and ran over.
Li Shili's expression turned sour the moment he saw him.
This Zhang Peng relied on his status as Ning Baihe's cousin to eat and drink in the Li family all year round. No one in the Li family liked him.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing, didn't I just see my uncle?
I ran into you and called out to him. Let's go together. "
Li Shili didn't have a smile on his face, but Zhang Peng was full of smiles.
"I just saw Xiaoyan. Her face and hands are still swollen. She can't move at all. Your old man is too ruthless."
"Brother-in-law, you won't just let it go, will you?"
"Tomorrow is the old man's birthday. I don't want to cause trouble. Do you think I'll let him go after the celebration?"
"Hehe, that's my brother-in-law's character. Domineering and unrivaled."
"Hmph!"
Li Shili walked away with his hands behind his back. Zhang Peng chased after him. Li Shili turned in another direction, and Zhang Peng chased after him again. Li Shili turned again, and Zhang Peng stopped.
Although he was thick-skinned, he knew that Zhang Peng was genuinely annoyed with him.
A maid called Xiao Cui passed by with a tray. Zhang Peng reached out and pinched Xiao Cui's butt. Xiao Cui screamed and ran away.
"Smells so good. Little girls are the best. You smell good everywhere."
