Chapter 99
“I’m telling you, Xiao Cheng, don’t fool us, find someone to borrow some money and buy some gifts and you can deceive us?” Su Shouan said angrily.
“Uncle Su, what’s the point of me deceiving you guys?” Cheng Mo said, “Furthermore, the three-month time limit hasn’t arrived yet, if I really can’t help it and want to fool you, I have to wait until the time is almost up.”
“Maybe that’s what you think!” Su Shouan said, “Unless you can come up with evidence to prove that you really earned ten thousand dollars, and that the money came from a clean source.”
“Uncle Su, if I can produce evidence, will uncle agree to let Mo Er marry me?” Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.
Su Shouan hesitated for a moment.
“Little Cheng, if you really produce the evidence, Auntie will agree to your marriage now.” Jiang Liyao said.
“Uncle Su, what about you?” Cheng Mo wanted Su Shouan’s promise.
“Alright, if you really produce the evidence, I will agree to your marriage with Mo’er!” Su Shouan said with a clench of his teeth.
“Auntie, you’ve heard it all, Uncle Su promised my marriage with Mo’er.” What Cheng Mo wanted was for Su Shouan to say this in person.
“Don’t worry, if he dares to go back on his word, I really won’t live with him anymore!” Jiang Liyao nodded solemnly.
“My money is actually the money I earned after I wrote a novel and published it.” Cheng Mo slowly spoke.
When everyone heard this, they froze for a full three seconds, Su Shouan suddenly laughed out loud, “Little Cheng, it’s just enough for you to lie to a small child with this, but you’re still here to lie to me, you think you’re Zhang Henshui, you can earn tens of thousands of dollars from a single novel, laughing my ass off!”
“Xiao Cheng, even auntie doesn’t dare to believe you when you say this.” Jiang Liyao’s face was also cold, the money didn’t earn, can be explicitly said, but spread such a big lie, this is a character problem.
Character can’t work, that is again have feelings, also can’t work.
“Auntie, which is the hottest book sold in the market recently?” Cheng Mo didn’t back down for a second, he knew that if he said it, no one would believe it easily.
“Although Auntie seldom reads novels, she still knows that the hottest one sold in the market recently is a vernacular novel called Ghost Husband, the price is sold at an old expensive price, twice as expensive as normal novels, and you can’t buy the goods.” Jiang Liyao said.
“Auntie, the author of this novel, Wind Rising Loulan, is my pen name, and the publisher of the novel, Flower Room Society, is also a joint venture between me and someone else.” Cheng Mo said, “If Auntie doesn’t believe me, I can ask Mr. Wang Hai, the general manager of the Flower Room Society out, and he will prove it for me, how about it?”
“You’ll find a random person and we’ll believe it?” Su Shouan naturally didn’t believe in it, isn’t this “White Splitters Party” doing nothing but cheating?
“Wang Hai is also regarded as the Shanghai Bund’s famous person, how can we just find someone to impersonate, Uncle Su, you have preconceived notions about me, you can’t even not recognize the facts, right?” Cheng Mo said.
“Ah Mo, are you serious?”
“Of course it’s true, I still have the scrap manuscript left from my creation at home, if you don’t believe me, go to your home some other day and I’ll show it to you.” Cheng Mo nodded.
After Jiang Liyao heard it, she already believed seven points, there are some things that can’t be investigated, if Cheng Mo really lied, she just need to find Wang Hai and ask him, everything will be hidden.
Wang Hai is a person, she more or less still understand some, not a small “demolition of white party” can be coerced to get.
Not to mention that Cheng Mo has an official position, and is not a white-washing party.
“Xiao Cheng, did you really earn ten thousand dollars?”
“According to the profit earned after the current sales, it’s definitely more than that. But exactly how much, I haven’t calculated it yet, but I’ve put the money back in, preparing for the third reprint, this time mainly in markets other than Shanghai, the SH market is almost close to saturation at the moment.”
Cheng Mo and Wang Hai had specifically calculated that Shanghai and the surrounding areas including Suzhou, Wuxi and even Nantong would be able to eat up to 50,000 copies at most, and the excess would have to be shipped out to Hangzhou, Tianjin, Beiping, and even places like Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
“So, you earned all these gifts?”
“That’s for sure.” Su Shou’an was embarrassed beyond measure, although Cheng Mo did not give substantial evidence, but his calm, unperturbed and not at all flustered expression all showed that everything he said was true.
A momentary lie could not be concealed.
“Dad, Ah Mo also gave you a gift, open it and take a look?” Su Mo’er picked the topic to ease the atmosphere.
“What good things can he send me?” Su Shouan said on his lips, but still opened the box, and when he saw that it was a pipe inside, his face changed color.
“Dad, what is it?”
“What’s there to see in a broken pipe.” Su Shouan directly closed the box and grabbed it in his hand, then got up and headed upstairs.
“Mom, Dad he ……”
“He that can’t wipe his face, don’t pay attention to him, eat in a while, he will come down by himself.” Jiang Liyao was in a good mood, although there was that little misunderstanding and hiccup in the middle, she still chose to believe Cheng Mo, this son-in-law had a stabilizing feeling about him.
“Mom, I’ll put this bracelet on you?”
“Mo’er, the necklace around your neck is also from Cheng, right?” Jiang Liyao glanced at a flash of silver behind her daughter’s delicate pink and white neck.
“Mom, how did you know?” When she entered the door, she had purposely tucked the necklace inside her sweater, not expecting it to still be seen by her sharp-eyed mother.
“He’s given me and your dad such an expensive gift, how could it be less than yours, I knew it was from him the moment I saw it.” Jiang Liyao said, “This kid is still quite attached to you, if everything he said is true, you two really hurry up and finalize your marriage.”
“Mom ……”
Mother and daughter were talking in the living room, Cheng Mo was sitting on the sofa not far away from them, the two of them were in earshot of the conversation, as long as they didn’t feel uncomfortable, then the uncomfortable ones were the others.
“I’ll go to the kitchen to help Apricot mom, you sit with Cheng for a while.” Jiang Liyao left Su Mo’er behind, leaving free space for the younger two, and got up to go to the kitchen.
Although this was in Su Moer’s home, this was still Cheng Mo’s initiative, once Jiang Liyao left, Cheng Mo took the initiative to lean over.
“Ah Mo, go to my room and talk.” In the living room, it was too uncomfortable, Su Moer pulled Cheng Mo directly upstairs to her boudoir.
“Mori, Cheng, come down for dinner!”
“Coming ……” There was a flurry of panic in the house, and the sound of organizing clothes, it was obvious that this was said, some immodesty.
Su Moer walked out of the room with a red face, Cheng Mo followed closely behind, his face not red, his heart not jumping, and the stairway just bumped into Su Shou’an who came out of the study and was also ready to go downstairs to eat.
Su Shou’an and the two glanced at each other, saw his daughter shyly bowed her head, that eyes like a knife, the back groove teeth a rub: “Humph!”
“Uncle toothache?” Cheng Mo asked with a grin of concern.
A pain in the soft flesh of the waist.
