Chapter 122: Instant Uncle
Nathan Yang frowned.
"Isn't that obvious? Your uncle sent people to fetch you. Shouldn't you be happy that he used his authority as a general to send his soldiers to look for you?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
"I'm not saying any nonsense. This is the truth."
Lilian Mo narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Nathan Yang did not understand why this girl was still hostile after telling her that the general himself personally ordered people to look for her. As a veteran, he could read people through their eyes and this little girl that was in front of him was looking at him with the eyes of a killer.
"You should feel honored that General Mo is going this far for you. Most people would be thankful. You can even take your friends with you. The base won't turn down any survivors as long as they can work. It's even better if you have abilities."
"....."
When Nathan Yang didn't hear any answer, he found that this little girl before him was weird. Was she not touched?
"Why are you being so quiet?"
Lilian Mo looked at him with cold eyes which made him pause. She pointed a knife at him.
"I don't have an uncle."
"Now it's your turn to say nonsense. You are clearly the girl in the photo, why are you denying it? General Mo is your uncle. What, the apocalypse has muddled your head so much that you forgot about your family? Sigh. Kids these days are so selfish and unfilial." Nathan Yang exhaled deeply, lazily glancing at Lilian Mo as if he himself was already an elder.
But Lilian Mo was unmoved by his statement.
"I don't have an uncle."
Now, Nathan Yang was beginning to think that something was wrong. This was the second time that she said this sentence.
But he was sure of it, this was really the girl he saw in the photo. The only difference is that her hair was shorter and she was a little taller than he imagined.
"You don't have an uncle, then my name is not Nathan Yang."
Lilian Mo didn't react to his provocation.
Mu Qingqing glanced worriedly at Lilian Mo. "Momo, I remember that you said that your uncle was from the army. Is your uncle that General Mo?"
Lilian Mo stilled.
"When did I told you that?"
"I don't remember. But you mentioned it in passing before when I asked you why you live alone."
"Really?"
"Really!" Mu Qingqing said with sincerity. "But you also told me that you two aren't close and that you can count the number of times you met him on one hand."
Hearing this, Nathan Yang's eyes became profound with understanding. "Ah, I see why you're acting like this. You aren't close to General Mo. The General did warn us about your unfavorable attitude towards him. Hm, I didn't think it would be to the extent that you even forgot that you have an uncle."
No. I did not forget that I have an uncle. Lilian Mo wanted to say. She did not have any other relatives. Both her parents are the only child in their family so Lilian Mo was sure that she did not have an uncle.
Moreover, in her memories, there was no person called 'Uncle.' This was also the first time she heard about this General Mo.
But...why was Mu Qingqing telling her that she has an uncle?
Lilian Mo did not understand and she did not want to. The sudden appearance of a relative was unexpected to her and she was not sure how to respond to it except be in a state of heavy denial.
'I no longer have parents. Even Grandpa and Grandma left but now, I suddenly gained an instant Uncle? I even met him before? Why do I have no memory of this?'
It was absurd, she thought.
She then looked at the man before her. He seemed to be in his mid or late-twenties.
"Mr. Soldier, what is the name of this general?"
Nathan Yang did not like the way she addressed the general in an informal manner but he still answered her since she must be testing him.
"The general's name is Mo Yize."
"Mo Yize..." Lilian Mo repeated.
"Momo, are you okay?" Mu Qingqing asked worriedly.
"Are you really telling the truth?" Lilian Mo asked Nathan Yang.
Nathan Yang who was on the receiving end of her distrustful gaze was feeling slightly amused. It was good to know that they weren't naive.
"Hm, I can see the resemblance. Little Zhou is also not wrong when he told me about you."
Mu Qingqing heard the familiar nickname. "Are you talking about Zhou Yang?"
Nathan Yang finally smiled. "Yes. He's my little brother. If I am not mistaken, then you are his classmate, Mu Qingqing. He did tell me that you stuck towards Lilian Mo like glue."
Mu Qingqing felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
"Ah, although I don't know about the other girl and that child. They're part of your team, right? Those boys as well. My twin is following them at this moment."
Mu Qingqing was startled, she turned to Lilian Mo and grabbed her arm.
"Momo, he doesn't look like he's lying. You remember that Zhou Yang has a brother and sister in the army, right? Now that I think about it, they look a bit alike!" Mu Qingqing pointed out.
