âDonât you worry about it. Weâre just here for routine visit.â Ah Si answered calmly as he glanced at Chen Quan.
After they left the neighbourhood, Quan Yu told Mo Li, âThere arenât many places at Pearl River where you can find JC Canary Diamond cuff link. Iâll send my people to check all of them, if thereâs any news, Iâll notify you.â Then Quan Yu asked Ah Si to send Mo Li home.
For this kind of rare jewels, one could only get them through two channels. The first was specialized jewelry store, where people would place the custom order and then the jeweler would do the rest.
The second was the black market. In comparison, you would get a cheaper price through this channel but the quality of the jewels wouldnât be guaranteed, especially when you had multiple gems on one item.
With regards to the quality of this cuff link, Quan Yu needed to go back home to study it closer.
â¦
Once she reached home, Elder Mo noticed Mo Liâs travel-worn appearance and figured she had skipped school again. âSweetieâ¦â Elder Mo wanted to say something but he was at a loss for words. He studied Mo Li for a long time before he said with concern, âYou better spend less time with Young Master Quan in the future!â
Mo Li didnât say anything but nodded and turned into the kitchen. Mo Liâs mind was quite muddled, instead of forcing herself to think, she wanted to relax, and food was a good relaxant.
Mo Li ran into Mo Yu who was rummaging inside the kitchen for food. When he saw Mo Li, Mo Yu immediately jumped up and cheered. âWelcome home!â Mo Li then knew the kid had a favor to ask. As she expected, Mo Yu blinked his puppy-eyes at her and said, âCan you cook the dumplings you made for Mo Zheng for me?â
Mo Li tapped her chin and smiled, âDumplings you say? Okay, but this time, Iâll make Yi Pin Dumplings.â
âYi Pin Dumplings? What is that?â Mo Yu was honestly also surprised that his act worked.
âYi Pin Dumpling is a Jiang Suâs specialty dim sum. Instead of the traditional wrapped dumplings, it is much larger and has 3 open pockets instead. It looks like the Chinese character å, hence the name. Unique combination of different fillings is the feature of this dumpling.â
Mo Liâs interest was instantly piqued. He asked, âThen what filling are we using today?â
Mo Li started to work the dough. âI donât know, weâre quite spoiled for selection. We can do lotus seed, prawn dumpling, seafood egg dumpling, radish and chicken, pork and cow pea, wintermelon and mutton. They are all good choicesâ¦â As Mo Li kneaded the dough, she ran through the possible combinations in her mind.
When the dough was ready and Mo Li raised her head, she realized that Mo Yu had prepared all the ingredients Mo Li had listed off earlier. He arranged them before Mo Li. âYou were making me so hungry! So I swept through the pantry. We are quite well-stocked.â Mo Yu exclaimed with a proud smile.
Mo Li looked at him and smiled to herself. Honestly, Mo Li couldnât find it within her to hate Mo Yu. He could be a bit arrogant and reckless at times, but he had a kind heart.
Mo Li went to switch on the lights in the kitchen as it was getting dark. Compared to the lights though, Mo Yu thought Mo Liâs smile looked brighter.
â¦
When they were done preparing the dumplings, it was already almost 8 pm. While Old Madam Mo went to steam the dumplings, Mo Li sat down to rest.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Quan Yu.?Has he found the person who bought the custom made jewelry?
Mo Li answered the call and after a few exchanges, she shot up from the couch. âGrandpa, grandma, big brother, I need to go out for a minute!â Then Mo Li rushed out without looking back.
âSweetie, you havenât even had dinner, where are you goingâ¦â Old Madam Mo and Elder Mo questioned.
On the other hand, Mo Yu was submerged in that term of endearment, âbig brotherâ.?It sounded so beautiful on her lips. Iâll have to make her call me that more oftenâ¦
When Mo Li walked downstairs, it was still that familiar person waiting for her. He carried a boxed meal with her. âMiss Mo Li, please get in the car.â
