Birth of a Beauty

"But you wanted Nanny Sui's special chicken curry. I contacted her and made it according to her recipe. The only difference is that I added some vegetable, some Bell peppers.." Mo Dunguo listed various extra things he added which he thought would make the dish more tastier & healthier.

Mo Xung's lip twitched as he spoke "Who was the fool that asked you to cook food? Why did we hire those top tier chefs if you are the one cooking?"

"Weren't you the one?" Mo Dunguo squinted his eyes as his brows knitted.

Mo Xung pointed at himself, completely in disbelief" Me? Mo Xung? When?How?" He was dumbfounded.

"Yes, You. Yesterday. When you were fully drunk." Mo Dunguo stated with poker face.

Mo Xung "..." I was seriously joking Dad. If i told you that i miss mom and asked you to become like her.. Then, Would you crossdress like her?

Mo Xung heaved along sigh. Just then, The door bell rang.

*Ding Dong*

"I guess Nanny Sui came to hand over her pickle. Let's go meet her before she leaves for her hometown. "Mo Dunguo took the wheelchair to Mo Xung.

Mo Xung brows shot up. He fired rapid questions at him " Nanny Sui? She is going to her hometown. Why all of a sudden?! For how many days? Why didn't she inform me?"

Mo Dunguo answered as he helped Mo Xung sit in the wheelchair. " She said that she got a call from her daughter from hometown that she was very sick and alone. So, Eventually She decided to head there immediately. She also informed me that she will dropping by to handover the pickle jar."

Mo Xung was distressed by her sudden decision. He hastily exclaimed " Let's go. Otherwise she will leave."

Afterwards they left the room.

Meanwhile;

The door was opened by a maid. "Yes? May i know Who are you looking for?" She inquired.

Before Xi Mei could respond, The maid smiled as she asked " You must be Granny Sui's granddaughter, Right?"

Xi Mei was stunned "How did you know?"

The maid pointed at the pickle container in Xi Mei's hand. Then only, Xi Mei realized it.

"Has Granny Sui left already?" The maid asked.

"Yeah, She left already and told me to give this jar here in her stead." Xi Mei replied.

"Come inside then." The maid fully opened the door to let her in. Xi Mei nodded. She slowly made her way in.

Xi Mei couldn't help but quietly gasp in amazement at how good and luxurious the place looked. The Furniture,the Paintings, the Interior design, the huge chandelier..Everything felt so classy yet familiar. Familiar? Yes, Grandma told me that I used to visit here few times. So, it's natural for me to find it a little familiar. But i am astonished about the fact that this place hasn't changed much even after so many years has passed already.

When she was looking around the house, The maid had already brought a tray of tea. " Sit and have a tea while i will inform the Master."

Xi Mei shook her head "No need. I just came by to pass this jar. So, Please don't bother." She carefully passed the container to the maid.

The maid took it and peered at her flashing a smile" I have heard a lot about you from Grandma Sui. As expected, You are really pretty. Your voice is also so sweet."

"Thank You. You also look young and beautiful. Are you perhaps in your twenties?" Xi Mei inquired curiously.

The maid chuckled softly "No i am not. I am already thirty-five and have a son."

Xi Mei jaw dropped slightly. "What? Really? But You look so young."

The maid giggled "Hehe, Thankyou." She continued feeling a little disappointed "Are you leaving already?".

But before Xi Mei could answer, She heard a very familiar voice.

"Who is leaving already?"

They both turned to look Mo Xung sitting at the wheel chair and Mo Dunguo behind him gripping the handle of it. When Mo Xung and Xi Mei's eyes met, their eyes widened in shock.

"Why are you here?" They shouted in unison.

The maid and Mo Dunguo both were startled. 'Did they know eachother?' The thought flashed in their mind.

"Xiao Xung, You know her?" Mo Dunguo asked.

But Mo Xung didn't respond to him instead answered Xi Mei.

"What do you mean, Why am i here? This is my house. I am the owner's son. But Why are you here? And..And Where is Nanny Sui?"

Mo Xung gazed at the pickle container in the maid's hands. "Did she left already? If she dropped by then she should've met me at least. Is she still angry that i got into accident?" He felt upset.

The maid didn't know what to say. Just then, Mo Dunguo deep voice rangout " Are you by chance, Nanny Sui's granddaughter?"

Xi Mei nodded her head in response "Yes, I am her eldest granddaughter. She knew she couldn't make it in time, so she made me come here in her instead to pass the pickle and left already. She also said she would call you soon."

Mo Dunguo nodded his head but confusion was clearly written in his face. Xi Mei sensed his confusion and said "Actually, Your son and I..We are classmate. "

"So that is the case" Realization hit both Mo Dunguo and the Maid.

"What's your name?" Mo Dunguo asked.

"My name is Xi Mei. You can call me, Xiao Mei, Uncle Dunguo." Xi Mei bowed slightly.

"Oh My, I now remember you. You used to come here often and play with..Haha, What a pleasant coincidence. Xiao Xung, Do you remember he-"

Before he could complete his sentence, Mo Xung slightly trembling voice was heard "Are.. you really Meimei?"

Everyone was startled for a moment including Xi Mei. After a while, She flashed a cute smile before nodding her head " Yeah, I am. Nice to see you again. I totally didn't recognize you at the school."0000000☐☐☐☐☐☐I
