Chapter 644 Masked Neighbor
"If you let me play badminton with you, I'll help you pick up the balls."
Ye Jintang also liked playing badminton when she was young. She vaguely remembered that her favorite class when she was in school was physical education because she could play badminton in the class.
"Okay."
The leading girl grinned happily at Ye Jintang.
When going downstairs, Ye Jintang quickly changed into sportswear. She didn't have a racket, so she used the girl's.
There are no cars or pedestrians on the cobblestone road in the villa area, which makes it very suitable for playing badminton.
After a while, Ye Jintang was laughing and joking with the three little girls. She felt that her old heart was infected by the girls' laughter and became a lot younger.
She thought to herself that even though her soul was that of a thousand-year-old witch, her mentality was that of an 18-year-old every day.
It's exciting to think about an 18-year-old girl who is rich, has free time and a lot of money. She has plenty of good time to waste.
Xiao Mo had just finished a video conference with people from the company. He stood up with a cup of coffee, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor, and saw the gorgeous garden next door and Ye Jintang playing badminton on the stone road.
The two had met twice, and Xiao Mo was deeply impressed by Ye Jintang. Her face was so stunning that anyone would be impressed by her.
In Xiao Mo's eyes, Ye Jintang is also a little girl, and a naive and lively little girl, just like her garden.
There are so many gardens in their villa area, but he has never seen anyone's garden as beautiful as hers.
Every rose in the garden is full of vitality, and each one is trying hard to bloom.
Unlike him, he can only live in darkness.
The bitter taste of coffee lingered in his mouth. He gently stroked his cheek. The uneven feeling made him feel nauseous. He quickly withdrew his hand and sat back in front of the computer desk.
Looking at the emails on his computer, he had no desire to open them.
Unable to concentrate on his work, Xiao Mo simply went downstairs to see his grandmother.
Yin Manqing is not yet 70 years old, but her hair is already full of white hair. She likes embroidery and is currently looking at several embroidery pieces that were sent by others in the lobby on the first floor.
"Grandma, why don't you rest in the house?"
"I slept well these two days and I feel much more energetic."
Yin Manqing gently stroked the embroidery pattern in her hand and added, "It would be nice if my eyesight wasn't blurry. I've always wanted to embroider a red veil for your wife, but now I can only ask someone to help me embroider it."
It was then that Xiao Mo discovered that the embroidery patterns in Yin Manqing's hand were not ordinary patterns, but auspicious designs such as dragons and phoenixes, and mandarin ducks playing in the water.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, "Grandma, I don't think I will ever get married in this life. With the way I look, no good girl would like me."
Yin Manqing looked up at Xiao Mo's face covered with sores and sighed slightly.
Both of them knew very well that even if there were women who wanted to marry Xiao Mo, they were only after his money, and there was definitely no love for him at all.
"I recently contacted an old Chinese doctor. I heard that his medical skills are very powerful. Maybe the poisonous sore on your face can be cured soon."
"Grandma, you don't have to comfort me anymore. I have been treating the ulcer on my face since I was 16. Over the years, I have seen more than a dozen top doctors at home and abroad. I have also seen the best Chinese medicine doctors in the country. I don't know how many medicines I have taken, but they all only treated the symptoms and not the root cause."
"That's it. I have completely given up on this face of mine."
Xiao Mo's condition was not simply a blisters on his face, his body was also severely affected. It was not noticeable in the first two years, but later on he felt worse and worse.
He is a light sleeper and often stays up until 1 or 2 in the morning, unable to fall asleep. After finally falling asleep, he wakes up very early in the morning.
Moreover, in the past two years, he has been particularly prone to catching colds and getting sick, and would fall ill at the slightest sign of trouble.
In the past six months this year alone, he has suffered from acute urticaria twice. When he went to the hospital for a physical examination, the doctor said that his immunity was too low.
In addition to the low immunity, Xiao Mo was also found to have a big problem this time. He was very likely to be infertile. As for what caused it, the hospital had no idea. Apart from prescribing a bunch of medicine that he would never finish taking, they had no other options.
Xiao Mo never thought that he just had a poisonous sore on his face, but it would eventually develop into this. Maybe this is his fate.
Yin Manqing sighed imperceptibly, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and raised her head abruptly.
"The roses planted by the girl next door smell great. I put them by my bed and they make me sleep better. How about putting them by your bed tonight?"
"Grandma, why would a grown man like me put flowers by my bed? You should keep them for yourself."
"You're just as chauvinistic as your grandfather. Why can't men like flowers? Flowers are not just for women."
When it comes to Grandpa Xiao, Yin Manqing's tone is obviously not good. Xiao Mo knows the reason and quickly says, "Grandma, calm down, calm down."
"I can't calm down. Your grandfather's family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat. I married him because I saw that he was capable and had good character."
"But as for him, ever since your grandpa passed away, he has had one confidante on his left and another on his right. Your dad has only been dead for a few years, but he can't wait to bring those wild women home. Xiaomo, how can grandma not hate him?"
Yin Manqing touched her snow-white hair and said, "I used to have black hair when I was old. My hair turned gray when your father passed away. Your grandfather wanted to let the illegitimate child outside to return to his ancestral home, and my hair turned white overnight."
"Xiao Mo, grandma is so sad. My parents are gone, and my only brother died in the war. Your grandpa is pushing me to death just because I'm alone."
"If he pushes me to the limit, I will divorce him. His illegitimate children want to snatch my property, unless I die."
Emotionally excited, Yin Manqing started coughing violently.
"Grandma, you still have me. As long as you are willing, I can help you get back what belongs to you."
Seeing Yin Manqing coughing violently, Xiao Mo hurried forward to pat her back. She had not been in good health in the past two years. The doctor said that the weather in Beijing was too dry and not good for her body, so she moved thousands of miles to Ankang City with a humid climate.
Ankang City is Yin Manqing’s ancestral home and also the place where the Yin family made their fortune.
To this day, Yin Manqing still holds ownership of large tracts of land and commercial buildings in Ankang City.
"Xiao Mo, you must be well. Grandma will be counting on you from now on."
"I will."
After finally coaxing Yin Manqing into submission, Xiao Mo went back upstairs to continue his work.
He knows his own body best. He might lose his life at any time. It is of no use to him to earn Xiao's property. His grandfather can give it to whoever he wants. It has nothing to do with him.
