Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1889: Chapter 1485: Mo Family Banquet (Part 3)

Over there, Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Mo Chengju’s invitation, and did not refuse, taking the seat next to Mo Chengju and gesturing politely, ”Mr. Chengju, please.”

Mo ZiYun originally intended to sit in Bai Xiaosheng’s seat and immediately frowned.

Mo Chengju waved a hand and pointed next to Bai Xiaosheng, addressing a few people arranged in order, ”You guys, go over there and make room here.”

The youngsters naturally didn’t dare to disobey Mo Family Fourth Uncle’s word, and they quickly stood up and left their seats.

Thus, Mo Ziyue sat next to Bai Xiaosheng, followed by Lei Ying, and then Lin Weiwei. Mo ZiYun looked at the seat left for him, which was only near the door, and felt extremely aggrieved.

Actually, he didn’t need to be like this; he could have easily sat on the other side of Mo Chengju, which was also a secondary prominent seat.

It was just that right now, that seat was occupied by someone oblivious.

Mo ZiYun walked over, his expression dark and his eyes even darker.

The person was just drinking water and, sensing trouble, stood up to give up the seat. However, the table in front of him was rather messy, with an unfinished cup of water and some fruit shells.

Mo ZiYun looked at it all and felt utterly frustrated.

The person, seeing Mo ZiYun’s face, hurriedly moved forward to clean up haphazardly but didn’t improve much.

Mo ZiYun waved him away and sat down with a frown.

Sitting down, he saw Mo Chengju and Bai Xiaosheng whispering and laughing, and seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s smile made him simmer with hatred.

Already having enough reason to dislike Mo Chengju, his emotions overflowed at that moment, and naturally, he directed more of his anger towards Bai Xiaosheng, finding him increasingly unpleasant to the eye.

”Don’t know where this bastard came from, siding with Mo Chengju and Mo Ziyue to disgust me, and if that’s the case, don’t blame me for being rude! Let everyone see how ’his knowledge in traditional Chinese medicine is not inferior to mine’ is complete nonsense!” Mo ZiYun was silently fuming.

Bai Xiaosheng, sitting on the other side, inadvertently looked up and caught Mo ZiYun’s reaction entirely.

With Bai Xiaosheng’s observation skills, he could certainly see that the other party held a great hostility towards him.

”Is it because of my presence that this Mo ZiYun feels humiliated?” Bai Xiaosheng wondered internally.

Initially, he had noticed Mo Chengju as a talented person and was inclined to favor him without offending him, Mo Ziyue, or making things hard for them at home. It wouldn’t hurt to let Mo ZiYun have some leeway if he didn’t go overboard.

But previously, Mo Chengju specifically ”reminded” him, telling him not to be polite to Mo ZiYun!

”Well then, Mo ZiYun, my apologies! As the future family head of the Mo Family, you’d better be a bit more courteous to me today in your own family, or else I’ll have to retaliate!” Bai Xiaosheng thought with a sly smile.

If Mo ZiYun were to maintain his restraint, Bai Xiaosheng pondered how furious he’d be if he knew what was going through his head.

With the guests seated, Old Mr. Mo Haichuan ordered the dishes to be served.

The Mo family’s servants entered in a line, carrying trays, and served dish after dish.

The Mo Family’s banquet mainly consisted of medicinal cuisine, but not all dishes required Chinese herbs, as that would be excessive.

Traditional Chinese medicine states that all medicines have some toxicity, and even medicinal cuisine requires a balance as excessive supplementation is not beneficial.

Moreover, there are many intricacies in medicinal cuisine; the highest form doesn’t just enhance the nourishing effect of the medicine but also neutralizes the toxicity of other herbs, allowing the eater to absorb the essence without the dregs.

The Mo Family had been practicing medicine for a hundred years and had deep research in this area.

Three tables, each catering to different age groups, with different medicinal cuisine effects and nourishing focuses.

Soon, the table Bai Xiaosheng was at had seven or eight dishes served, including two medicinal cuisines.

And under Mo ZiYun’s subtle manipulation, those two medicinal cuisines were placed in front of Mo Chengju and Bai Xiaosheng.

On the surface, those two dishes looked no different than usual, but one had an extra medicinal herb, and after eating either of them, combined with the third medicinal cuisine to be served later, there would be ”unexpected” changes.

Effects appearing after a few hours could include diarrhea all night, headache for three days, or whole body heat and fatigue...

Mo ZiYun had repeatedly considered the symptoms and eagerly anticipated the results.

Everyone at this table was trained in traditional Chinese medicine; they would know there was an issue upon tasting it and know what not to eat too much of.

If they weren’t skilled, they’d have to blame their own bad luck!

Mo Chengju and Mo Ziyue had not studied deeply, and they would be clueless.

Those surnamed Bai should also fall into this trap!

It was a pity, that woman was rather good.

Mo ZiYun sneakily glanced at Lin Weiwei, feeling a pang of regret, but he also thought that if Lin Weiwei fell ill from the medicinal cuisine, it would give him the chance to treat her, which wasn’t so bad.

Mo ZiYun kept scheming in his mind.

Beside him, Mo Chengju and Bai Xiaosheng continued to chat spiritedly, neither showing any intention of eating.

Clearly, the other tables had already begun eating, and as someone at this table picked up chopsticks, others did too, and even someone was about to spin the table.

Mo ZiYun watched anxiously, reaching out to stop the table from turning, smiling as he said to Mo Chengju and Bai Xiaosheng, ”Fourth Uncle, this... Mr. Bai, you see, the dishes are here, let’s stop the conversation for now. This is our Mo Family’s most famous medicinal cuisine, Mr. Bai, please try it?”

This was a rare ”enthusiastic” moment for Mo ZiYun, as he could hardly contain himself.

Mo Chengju, suspecting nothing, nodded immediately, tapping the dish with his chopsticks, smiling at Bai Xiaosheng, ”Give it a try!”

Bai Xiaosheng was initially smiling and nodding too, but as he reached out with his chopsticks, he noticed Mo ZiYun staring expectantly at him, eyes gleaming peculiarly.

Bai Xiaosheng paused his chopsticks.

Mo ZiYun’s expression subtly shifted.

”Something’s not right!” Bai Xiaosheng’s observational skills were sharp.

As long as someone hadn’t mastered a refined demeanor, it was hard to escape his scrutiny.

But eventually, Bai Xiaosheng smiled again, reaching out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of medicinal cuisine, under the earnest focus of Mo ZiYun, he put it in his mouth and chewed, but internally he muttered, ”Red Lotus, analyze this medicinal cuisine!”
