Mo Che just shook his head and did not respond. He stood up, towards his desk. After sitting behind his desk to open a drawer to get an envelope that is red and is sealed with wax.
Angelo frown after identifying where the envelope came from. "Hmmm. Interesting." He asked suddenly. Red envelope means that refusal is not acceptable.
"When and where? Should we be happy that at least they are decent enough to notify us in advance?" Angelo asked mockingly, his face showing a rare expression of annoyance.
"This is a formal invitation letter for the reading of old man's last will. The lawyer specifically asked for Lihua to be present. The reading will happen in less than a month from now." He explained voice laced with animosity before throwing the red envelope to the floor.
He badly wanted to burn the envelope, while cursing that family. Mo Che can still remember clearly how he received the letter.
The man who delivered the letter was able to bypass his own security with ease, like mocking him that if they want to, they can do anything
Mo Che clenched his fists tightly as he gritted his teeth. Regardless of the fortune and connection that he was able to accumulate all these years, he still cannot be matched to them. The mere fact that his own daughter needs to pretend is enough to remind him of his incompetence as a father and as a man.
"Bu-" Rita started but immediately shut up, after remembering Mo Che's warning. Her face still held with contempt. So since she cannot speak, the maid just stump her feet on the red envelope on the floor multiple times.
Angelo lips slightly raised in amusement after seeing the maid's childlike action. He grabbed Rita by the shoulder so she can go back to his side before the maid decided to get a gun and destroy the content of the envelope.
"Stop now," he said to Rita, before asking Mo Che, "Is the meeting place in their territory?"
Releasing a deep breath then Mo Che shook his head and answered, "No. It will be on Country Z, a neutral territory."
Mo Che does not want Mo Lihua to be near to anyone from that family. It is never easy to deal with them. If things are going through smoothly, the more he gets worried.
He is also not sure if he should be grateful that the old man left something for Mo Lihua even though she is not part of that family for a very long time.
If the lawyer requires her presence and probably the one who also arranged for the reading to be in a different place, that means she will receive something.
'Then what?' Mo Che thought to himself. What if Mo Lihua received more than the others is willing to share?
Mo Che tapped his desk with his fingers for a long while, "Angelo, fly to Country Z tomorrow and prepare for an escape route," he said then he glared at Rita before adding, "Rita, we will pick up Lihua tomorrow. You both can leave."
After Angelo and Rita left the study, Mo Che called someone. "Dr. Song good evening, apologies for the late night call. Can I talk to you briefly? I hope it is a good time. " He asked from the woman on the other side of the line.
Even though he knows that is already late to call, he also knows the urgency of the situation. Mo Che can prepare for the upcoming trip for in Country Z. What about Mo Lihua? Will she be able to handle the news that their family received a red envelope?
However, if his daughter had taken the initiative to get out not minding any danger, that probably means she is already getting better. Right?
"Good evening Master Mo. It is a good time. Tell me what happened." Song Huan asked. Mo Lihua is her patient for almost two years now, and her improvement every session is not a lot.
"Lihua went out earlier, alone." He emphasized, before continuing, "Do you think that is good?" Mo Che asked.
