On the dining table, Parents Mo glanced outside the window. Qiao Qing knelt there, her body shivering from the extreme cold. Mother Mo's heart softened seeing her in this state. After all, she raised this girl as her own and naturally she still cared for her. "We better get her to come in. Look at how hard the rain pours, she'll get sick if she keeps on kneeling like that."
Jiang Yao 1then stood up to walk towards the front door. She would personally go and fetch Qiao Qing.
Mo Yi wanted to say something but when he saw Qiao Qing through the window, he sighed. "Go and get the girl in here. We don't want her to get sick."
"Mom! Why is Qing Qing kneeling outside in the heavy rain?" Mo Zheng shouted from upstairs. He was in his wheelchair but he struggled to move down the stairs. Mother Mo's heart instantly broke out in cold sweat.
Doctor Lu already said that he was unable to cure Mo Zheng. If Mo Zheng continued to agitate his condition, even God wouldn't be able to save him anymore.
Speaking of which, Mother Mo and Father Mo did have a discussion about the relationship between Mo Li and Lu Xuan. In the end, they came to the conclusion that Lu Xuan only said those things because he pitied Mo Li. After all, at the time, everyone was going against Mo Li. So they didn't think much of it.
Jiang Yao hurried up the stairs. She consoled Mo Zheng and then pushed him back to his bedroom.
Auntie Qiu ran out with an umbrella. "Miss Qing, we better get back in. It's raining so heavily and it's not good for your health to keep on kneeling like this!"
"Have mom and dad forgiven me? Are they willing to believe that I wasn't lying?" Qiao Qing raised her head with difficulty to look at Auntie Qiu.
"Of course, it was Sir who sent me out here to fetch Young Miss. He cares about you."
Since Auntie Qiu said that, Qiao Qing naturally stopped her performance. If she had to kneel any longer, her knees would throb with intense pain.
Due to her stint in the rain, Qiao Qing stayed home from school for the next 2 days.
At school, Mo Li felt so much better due to Qiao Qing's absence. Finally there was no pair of eyes following her around, observing her every move.
And ever since the truth about Mo Li's car accident was revealed, her whole world had become more beautiful and grand!
"The account that did the expose has been exceptionally quiet on the school forum lately!"
"She was the one who posted the pictures of Mo Li running into Mo Zheng. But now that the cat is out of the bag, the account has gone completely silent."
"Do you think that account could have belonged to Qiao Qing? After all, she has also been so silent on the social media despite the enormity of this issue. In fact, she has even decided to skip school for the past 2 days. Do you think that's a sign of her guilt?"
Mo Li shook her head helplessly listening to these people's heated discussion. These students were truly horrible people who only knew how to talk about others behind their back.
However, Mo Li did get an update on Qiao Qing from Mo Yu. Based on what the kid said, Qiao Qing had earned Father and Mother Mo's forgiveness by kneeling in the rain. Qiao Qing already had a good relationship foundation with the people of the Mo Family, to topple her wouldn't be easy.
With that in mind, Mo Li suddenly felt quite sorry for the original Mo Li. The original Mo Li was definitely not a saint but there was an explanation behind her twisted persona. She was supposed to be the single daughter of the Mo Family but suddenly one day a girl dropped out of nowhere to fight for her family's attention.
Due to their similarities, comparisons would naturally be drawn between Mo Li and Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing was the obedient daughter and little sister that everyone wanted while Mo Li slowly became a ruthless tyrant under the bad influence of many different people in her life.
For the original Mo Li, she would have seen Qiao Qing as a threat slowly taking over her life, her identity, her parents and even her future. That was a terrifying prospect! It was no surprise why she lashed out the way she did.
Of course, that did not excuse the original Mo Li's mistakes. It merely provided a background to her behavior.
However, the new Mo Li wouldn't be so easily tested. She couldn't care less about Qiao Qing moving in to take the original Mo Li's future because the new Mo Li had her own future to carve!
