Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1876: Chapter 1478: Mishap Along the Journey

Speaking of his young uncle who works as the general manager in a pharmaceutical company, Mo Ziyue instantly became animated, even a bit exuberant. Bai Xiaosheng could see both admiration and a bit of schadenfreude in his eyes.

This emotion was somewhat strange...

”My grandfather always says that our Mo Family ancestors were Imperial Physicians, with deep-rooted family heritage and pure lineage. He nurtured two generations of Chinese medicine experts in his lifetime,” Mo Ziyue laughed, ”But in the end, his youngest son was the first to betray, turning into a Western doctor and now even gave up clinical practice to become a manager. So my grandfather has always been quite displeased with my young uncle. With him around, my pressure is greatly reduced.”

Listening to Mo Ziyue speak like this, Bai Xiaosheng felt that his grandfather had a somewhat stubborn ”cuteness.”

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but laugh, ”Did you choose Western medicine because of your young uncle’s influence?”

”Of course, it’s him. He’s the only odd one out in our family.” Mo Ziyue nodded in acknowledgment, ”Now, including me, there are two. He’s less than ten years older than me; we grew up playing together, how could he not ’lead me astray’?”

Bai Xiaosheng finally understood why Mo Ziyue’s emotions earlier were so strange...

The two continued to chat for a while, but leaning against the wide, comfortable seat, they inevitably felt a bit drowsy, so they stopped talking, adjusted the recliner to a comfortable angle, and took a little nap.

Bai Xiaosheng slept briefly and just awoke to the train’s broadcast, ”Passengers, please pay attention, the next stop is Liqiu City. Please prepare your luggage and disembark in an orderly manner. We wish you a pleasant journey...”

How long have I been sleeping, that we’re already close to Liqiu City? Bai Xiaosheng raised his hand to check the time.

Beside him, Mo Ziyue also woke up, rubbed his eyes, and smiled at Bai Xiaosheng, ”I’m almost at my stop, but you still have a few hours to go, so I’ll wish you a smooth journey in advance.”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile, just about to say something when the broadcast sounded again.

This time, the announcement was somewhat urgent.

It must be an emergency to make a trained announcer sound this way.

”Passengers, please note, there has been a landslide on the route between Liqiu and Shanghe. We’ll be halting at Liqiu City for repairs, expected to take over six hours. Please await further arrangements...”

The content of this broadcast left Bai Xiaosheng and Mo Ziyue stunned.

Beside them, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged puzzled glances.

Mo Ziyue inadvertently played the role of a ”jinx”, having just wished them a smooth journey, when trouble arose ahead.

The carriage erupted into commotion, triggered by the broadcast.

”What, a landslide? Really?”

”A six-hour delay, that’s too long!”

”This route passes through mountains; I said there might be some natural disaster.”

”Hurry up and repair it; send more people so our journey isn’t disrupted!”

”So many maintenance workers, and still over six hours? It’s too backward! Abroad, it wouldn’t take this long...”

Complaints rose one after another.

”More than six hours, within a short time frame, even arranging accommodations would be quite a hassle.” Mo Ziyue said to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

”What should we do, Xiaosheng, should we fly at Liqiu City?” Lin Weiwei asked.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head at this proposal, ”No need. There’s Elder Xia at home, there shouldn’t be any issue. We’ll just tough out the executives a bit. We can still work online. Let’s stay overnight in Liqiu.”

After speaking, Bai Xiaosheng turned to Mo Ziyue with a smile, ”This time, we’ll truly be intruding.”

Mo Ziyue heard this and was even more delighted, ”Great, great, I’d wish for nothing less!”

Contrary to the gloomy and irritable mood filling the train cars, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions maintained a calm demeanor.

The train eventually stopped in Liqiu City, and once the vehicle stabilized, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions gathered their belongings and squeezed off the train with Mo Ziyue. Behind them, many people in the carriage were still exclaiming and even swearing, but there were also voices of understanding.

”What’s the point, a landslide is beyond human control, and the railroad company isn’t at fault either.” Mo Ziyue shook his head.

”Nobody wants to encounter such situations; it’s understandable to vent momentarily, but later, didn’t you hear many rational voices too?” Bai Xiaosheng said, ”Hopefully, they’ll be more rational.”

In any case, the issues here aren’t something the few of them can help with. Bai Xiaosheng and his companions followed Mo Ziyue out.

Outside the high-speed rail station, standing in front with an abundance of greenery, Liqiu City’s landscaping was exceptionally well done, resembling a garden city, and the air was far better than that of Tianhu.

”No wonder it’s a nationally renowned livable city,” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but praise.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying nodded in agreement.

Mo Ziyue chuckled, ”Just now, my family messaged me that they’ve sent a car to pick us up, it’s outside the plaza; let’s go.”

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions immediately nodded.

Eventually, they spotted the car sent by the Mo family at the roadside, an MPV, fitting for the group.

As Bai Xiaosheng and his friends approached, a balding middle-aged man came out of the car, heading straight for Mo Ziyue.

”Ziyue!” The man greeted with a warm smile.

”Wang.” Mo Ziyue greeted the man and pointed to Bai Xiaosheng and the others, ”These are my friends, coming over for dinner tonight.”

”Great, great.” Uncle Wang nodded to Bai Xiaosheng and his companions, enthusiastically helping with their luggage.

Seeing this, it seemed Mo Ziyue’s treatment at home wasn’t as dire as he claimed. Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying shared a smile.

Everyone got into the car, and the MPV left the high-speed rail station.

On the road, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions admired the scenery along the way, unable to resist praising this ”garden-like city”—Liqiu City, truly living up to its name, where even simple urban landscaping exuded taste and artistic flair.

Mo Ziyue enthusiastically shared more about Liqiu’s famous sites and delicacies with Bai Xiaosheng and his friends, while driver Wang occasionally chimed in.

Eventually, the MPV drove into a cluster of traditional Chinese courtyards.

A family of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners certainly wouldn’t lack money. These grand houses well suited the living habits of older generations, and they looked quite similar to the industries Bai Xiaosheng established back home, although they appeared older.

The car stopped at the courtyard entrance, and Bai Xiaosheng and his companions got out. The MPV then left to park.

To be honest, the mansion was indeed imposing, with a tall facade, but Bai Xiaosheng and his friends had visited too many wealthy and grand estates, so they didn’t feel particularly impressed.

”Welcome home. Please come inside!” Mo Ziyue smiled at Bai Xiaosheng and his companions.

Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and nodded, ready to enter with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

At that moment, several people emerged from the courtyard, seemingly seeing off a few guests.

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions also noticed a Maybach parked by the roadside outside.

”Your father’s condition is quite good, nothing serious. Mr. Chen, rest assured, I will revisit your home for follow-up treatment in two days.” Among the people exiting was a man who smiled and cupped his hands, speaking to the guests. He appeared to be of similar age to Mo Ziyue, with a striking presence, especially in his traditional mandarin jacket, adding an extra touch of style.

”Thank you, Mr. Mo, farewell, farewell! Please remain here!” The lead among the departing guests was dressed in a luxurious suit but was exceptionally respectful.

Taking a glance at Mo Ziyue, Bai Xiaosheng, and the others, the departing guest only glanced briefly and then left.

The Mo family member seeing off the guests fixed his gaze on Mo Ziyue’s face before chuckling.

His smile was noticeably mocking and not concealed, ”Well, isn’t it Ziyue? How come you’re back, big Western doctor!”

Mo Ziyue’s expression subtly darkened as he looked at the person, but he remained extremely polite, ”Zi Yun, long time no see.”

”Ha-ha, yes, yes!” Mo ZiYun laughed dismissively, ”It’s just that too many famous people are coming for consultations, busy, tired! Of course, you wouldn’t understand that feeling.”

He then glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and the others, pursing his lips, ”Your friends? My younger brother, don’t tell me they’re also Western doctors. Don’t let grandpa see them, he’ll be annoyed!”
