Jiang Yu lowered her head and planted a light kiss on his forehead. “I’m a little thirsty. Go to the kitchen and get a glass of water.”
Mo Long said, “I’ll get you some water.”
As he spoke, he was about to get up.
Jiang Yu quickly held him down and said, “I’m already up. I’ll go by myself. Have a good rest. I’ll be back soon.”
Mo Long finally gave up and said, “Okay. Come back quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Yu walked out of the room and gently closed the door.
There was no more water in the kettle in the kitchen. Jiang Yu took a pot and was ready to boil it. She poured a cup and went back to the bedroom.
Halfway through boiling the water, Jiang Yu heard someone calling her name from behind. “Jiang Yu?”
Jiang Yu turned around and saw Tang Xue standing there with her hair disheveled.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Yu asked indifferently.
“What are you doing in the kitchen?” Tang Xue stretched her neck and looked at the kettle that was boiling the water.
Jiang Yu said, “I’m thirsty. I’ve come to the kitchen and pour a glass of water.”
“I’m thirsty too,” Tang Xue said. “I really don’t know where your face came from. How dare you appear in front of my uncle and my aunt. Don’t you know that they hate you?”
Jiang Yu glanced at Tang Xue’s arrogant look and said indifferently, “Then don’t you know that your grandfather doesn’t like you and your mother either?”
“Nonsense!” Tang Xue was indeed angry, “How could my grandfather not like me and my mother? I think it’s you! I don’t know what kind of seductive methods you used to charm brother Mo Long! Even my grandfather was so charmed by you that he didn’t know who was the closest person to him!”
“I originally thought that you would be very quiet these few days. I didn’t expect you to reveal your true nature so quickly,” Jiang Yu said.
“What nonsense are you spouting? I only treat you as a stranger. I’m not willing to talk to you at all!” Tang Xue’s face turned red with anger.
Actually, when she came, Mo Zhi had warned her that if she saw Jiang Yu in the Mo family, she must keep quiet and never provoke her.
At that time, Tang Xue had vowed that Jiang Yu would never appear in the Mo family because Mo Jiang and Liu Hui both disliked Jiang Yu.
However, when she walked into the Mo family and saw Jiang Yu sitting on the sofa, she suddenly felt like she had been slapped by someone.
“It better be like this,” Jiang Yu said.
The kettle was boiling. Jiang Yu ignored Tang Xue and poured more than half of the cup of water. Then, she turned around and prepared to go upstairs.
“Don’t go! You didn’t even make it clear. Do you still want to go back to sleep?” Tang Xue pushed Jiang Yu’s shoulder. She must have used too much strength. Jiang Yu stumbled and her body swayed, causing the hot water in the cup to spill out.
Jiang Yu’s exposed arm and the hand that was holding the cup instantly turned red from the hot water. She frowned and cried out in pain, “Ah –”
The cup also fell to the ground due to her hand being injured and unstable. It shattered into a few pieces of glass.
Mo Long quickly came out of the bedroom and asked, “Yu’er? What happened?”
Jiang Yu did not say a word. She calmly walked to the side of the sink and boiled cold water to wash her arms and hands.
Tang Xue did not expect her strength to be so great.
Mo Long walked to the kitchen and saw Jiang Yu washing her arms and Tang Xue standing there stupidly.
He did not know what exactly happened. He walked to Jiang Yu’s side and said nervously, “It’s winter now, why is cold water still being boiled…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Jiang Yu’s red arm.
His pupils constricted and he asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”
Tang Xue immediately became afraid when she heard Mo Long’s voice.
However, she did not dare to say anything. She wanted to hear what Jiang Yu had to say first.
Jiang Yu did not want to cause any trouble during the new year, so he wanted to cover it up. He said, “It’s nothing. I just lost my balance and spilled the hot water in the cup.”
Tang Xue quickly replied, “Yes, yes! It was Jiang Yu who lost her balance and spilled the water in the cup! I saw it!”
She was afraid that Mo Long wouldn’t believe her, so she pointed at the broken glass and said, “Brother Mo Long, look, it was Jiang Yu who broke the cup!”
Mo Long didn’t suspect Tang Xue at first, thinking that Tang Xue didn’t have the guts to do such a thing in the Mo family.
However, seeing how she was trying so hard to deny it and pushing all the blame onto Jiang Yu, Mo Long did not want to suspect her. He had no choice.
“It’s not you? Do you think I will believe it?” Mo Long shouted sternly.
