Chapter 148 Arrival at the Imperial Star
Chapter 148 Arrival at the Imperial Star
On the spaceship, Mo Ze received a communication request from his uncle. As he opened it, he wondered if his uncle had something urgent to say. He thought it wouldn't be too late to talk about it when they got back.
Unexpectedly, the first thing the other person said was to find Lin Shushu.
"Aze, where's Shushu? I need to talk to her."
Mo Ze immediately enlarged the screen and projected it into the void, where Lin Shushu's figure appeared.
"Your Majesty, what brings you to me?"
"Actually, it's not my business. It's the Lin family. They contacted me, wanting me to mediate your conflict. But don't overthink it, I've already refused. I just wanted to let you know in advance so you can be prepared."
Jin Hongyu explained in detail what Lin Chenghui had asked him, including the fact that Lin Shushu was the eldest daughter of the Lin family's eldest son.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shushu was slightly surprised. The Lin family wasn't stupid; they had actually guessed her identity.
Not hearing Lin Shushu's reply, Jin Hongyu asked with concern, "Shushu, if you need any help, just let me know. Don't be shy."
Lin Shushu smiled and agreed, but still replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I can handle this matter myself."
Jin Hongyu didn't insist on helping; it was Lin Shushu's private matter, and it was perfectly normal for her to want to handle it herself. Besides, given the abilities she had demonstrated, he believed there was nothing that could stump her, and at the very least, she had her nephew by her side!
"Shushu, when you come back, I'll throw you a grand welcome ceremony. You can't refuse this time."
Lin Shushu felt a little helpless, but still nodded. This was an indication of how much Mo Ze valued her, and she couldn't be ungrateful. It was just meeting more people; she was no longer the person who would tremble when speaking in front of a crowd.
After hanging up the call, the other three looked at Lin Shushu with concern, as they were all involved in the matter to some extent. The An siblings, of course, were An Sheng's maternal family and had no goodwill towards the Lin family.
Mo Ze was the same way. He had made up his mind to be Lin Shushu for life. Her affairs were his affairs. No matter what she wanted to do, he would silently support her from behind.
Looking at the three pairs of worried eyes, Lin Shushu smiled faintly, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you afraid I'll suffer a loss?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison, afraid that she would be saddened by thinking about the past.
"Don't worry, I can handle it. Even if they don't come looking for me, I'll go looking for them." Lin Shushu wouldn't shy away from her background, and as for whether she acknowledged those people or not, no one could force her to.
"Shushu, no matter what, I will stay by your side." Though the words were simple, they were Mo Ze's heartfelt thoughts.
“We will go with you too,” An Xiaojie immediately replied, and An Yuanheng nodded in agreement.
Lin Shushu smiled brightly. Even though she didn't need their help, their company would undoubtedly add a lot of color to her monotonous life.
Recently, everyone on the planet has been focused on one thing: the God of War is bringing his fiancée home. Sure enough, the Mo family went on a massive cleaning and preparation spree days ago, reportedly to redecorate the entire place in preparation for welcoming Miss Lin.
The long-lost head of the family and his wife also rushed back, which shows how much they liked their future daughter-in-law.
Many ladies from aristocratic families sent visiting cards, hoping to inquire about the situation, but all were declined. The Mo family explained that they had important matters to attend to at home, and all social interactions were suspended.
This made everyone look at Miss Lin with even higher regard. Before she even entered the house, her affairs were already above the family's social interactions. What other woman could receive such treatment?
However, some people think the Mohists are taking it a bit too seriously. She's just a woman who supposedly has no background. Even if she's quite capable, which of these aristocratic families doesn't have women from prestigious families? After all, a woman's background is also a matter of pride for her husband's family.
Of course, only a minority of people hold this view. These people have deep-rooted conservative ideas and seem to believe that one cannot distinguish their status without a strong background.
Little do people realize that, often, a person's identity in the outside world is one they choose themselves. Lin Shushu went from being underestimated to gradually being accepted and even admired by everyone, all thanks to her own strength.
Although it was rumored that Mo Ze would return to the Imperial Star in the next few days, many people did not know the exact date. Therefore, for the past few days, people have been waiting at the space port, hoping to be the first to witness the two of them.
When Lin Shushu and her group arrived, they disguised themselves to avoid attracting attention. Coupled with their somewhat shabby spaceship, they managed to walk across the square without attracting the attention of the people lying in wait.
The group left the spaceport, boarded a spacecraft, and flew directly to Mo Ze's private villa on the Imperial Star.
This is a villa covering nearly a thousand square meters, with a style consistent with the mainstream of interstellar architecture, emphasizing luxury and grandeur. Seeing the somewhat extravagant decor, Mo Ze's face flushed slightly.
"Shushu, I didn't know it would turn out this way. If you don't like it, we can find another house."
This villa was a gift from his uncle. He had never lived in it, nor had he ever even visited it. So when he saw this style, he felt a little awkward, worried that Lin Shushu wouldn't like it.
"No need to change, this place is fine." Although Lin Shushu prefers the ancient Chinese style of decoration, she doesn't mind this interstellar style.
Besides, she won't be staying here for more than a few days, so there's no need for her to go through all that trouble to find a place to stay.
She told the An siblings to each choose a room, and she herself casually picked the leftmost room on the second floor.
Seeing Mo Ze follow her into the room, Lin Shushu couldn't help but ask, "Don't you need to go home and check on things first?"
"I don't want to be separated from you." Mo Ze hugged her from behind, saying with some grievance. He wanted to take Lin Shushu directly back to the Mo family home, but Lin Shushu disagreed, after all, they weren't married yet, and the Mo family wasn't just his parents.
Besides, there are the An siblings; she can't possibly abandon them and go with Mo Ze.
"Alright, you've been away from home for quite a while now, you should go back and visit." After saying this, Mo Ze didn't let go of her hand, so Lin Shushu could only coax, "How about you come over tonight?"
These words sounded a bit suggestive, and Lin Shushu blushed slightly after realizing what they meant, but Mo Ze was very happy. "Okay, then I'll go home first and come back soon."
Despite saying that, Mo Ze still helped Lin Shushu arrange the room, replaced all the commonly used items with new ones, and checked the villa's security facilities before reluctantly leaving.
When he returned to the Mo family's old residence, which he had not visited for a long time, he found that everyone in the Mo family was waiting for them. When they saw that he was the only one there, they all looked disappointed.
"Where's Shushu? Why didn't she come back with us? Didn't I tell you to bring her back?" Jin Siyue asked with displeasure.
Ignoring his mother's displeasure, Mo Ze explained to everyone present, "Dear uncles and elders, I apologize for the delay. Today was too rushed. I will make a formal visit another day."
The people present weren't annoyed; they had gathered there out of curiosity, and since no one had come, they all went back to their rooms.
