"Miss Mo, you should rest at home. If you need to go out, please let the master know first."
Their faces bore an unnatural expression, and Mo Ran finally sensed something was amiss.
After a moment of thought, she smiled wryly, "It must have been Gu Yixuan who forbade you from letting me out, he’s just too jumpy. Don’t worry, I will only be out for a short while and I’ll be back. If he blames you, I’ll take responsibility for you."
"But..." the two of them looked troubled.
"There’s no ’but’. Surely, I can’t be forbidden even to step out of the house." Mo Ran waved at them and left with a smile.
They couldn’t afford to offend Gu Yixuan, nor could they afford to offend Mo Ran, so they had no choice but to watch helplessly as Mo Ran left.
Mo Yan arrived first at the agreed-upon restaurant, ordered a private room, and then sent a text message to Mo Ran. By the time Mo Ran arrived, she had already finished a cup of tea.
Seeing her sister, Mo Ran thought she hadn’t changed much.
She was still well-dressed, not much thinner, yet her eyes no longer held the same bright and shrewd sparkle as before.
In her memory, no matter the hardship, Mo Yan always seemed indomitable. It appeared she really had encountered many displeasures within the Yang Family.
Sitting opposite her, they ordered some dishes and chatted while eating.
Mo Ran looked at her and asked, "Sis, what exactly happened? Why were you crying?"
Mo Yan sighed deeply and spoke softly, "Originally, I wasn’t planning to tell you. I insisted on marrying into the Yang Family, and if I told you, you would surely laugh at me in your heart."
"Why would you think that of me? You’re my sister, how could I possibly laugh at you?" Mo Ran said, frowning.
Mo Yan nodded, "Yes, I know you wouldn’t really laugh at me. Ranran, the people of the Yang Family, they’ve been really too much to me."
Unable to help herself, tears welled up in her eyes, making Mo Ran even more anxious.
"What did they do to you?"
Mo Yan shook her head, "They didn’t do anything to me, but their behavior was too much. You have no idea, even before I married into their family, the people from the Yang Family looked down on me, always treating me coldly. I could endure all that, thinking that over time they would come to accept me as one of the family, but after getting married, they became even more dismissive of me."
Perhaps truly feeling aggrieved, Mo Yan couldn’t hold back her tears. Mo Ran quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to her. After dabbing at the corner of her eyes, she continued speaking.
