The precious gemstone verified the authenticity of the badge.
When Ming saw this, he pulled back, and his face darkened. He didn't expect this to happen. He was reminded that the vulture was related to the Quan Family in Beijing!
...
After Ming left, An Wan collapsed to the ground with her arms around Diu Diu. Her body trembled. Mo Li was flustered because she didn't know what to do. After some thought, Mo Li reached out to touch An Wan on her head.
This action surprised An Wan, and then she burst out laughing. She was flummoxed that the Mo Family had managed to raise a daughter with such a high IQ but low EQ. Mo Li was a genius, but she was a baby in terms of personal relationships. She was comforting An Wan like the latter was a child. An Wan chuckled at this. Mo Li's hand halted awkwardly in mid-air. When An Wan turned to look at Mo Li, Mo Li pulled back her hand in embarrassment.
Mo Li and An Wan sat on the couch. While An Wan tried to console Diu Diu, Mo Li didn't know what to say or do.
"Aren't you curious about the identity of that man?" An Wan asked.
Mo Li looked at An Wan seriously, "I believe that if you trust me, you will tell me in time."
An Wan laughed hearing that. Mo Li looked at An Wan with a baffled expression. "Come, it's about lunchtime. I need to make some dumplings for Diu Diu. Do you mind helping me?"
And so, over the process of making dumplings, An Wan told Mo Li everything.
...
When Mo Li left An Wan's place with a pack of fresh dumplings, her face was worried. She had read about the story of Father An being an undercover officer and his assassination in the original book. However, the story was in the epilogue. Mo Li had no idea who the killer was. However, Mo Li did know that the mafia gang Father An was undercover in was related to Nie Li. In fact, based on the original plot, An Wan almost lost her life when her past caught up to her. However, Mo Li had no idea if the story would change now that she was involved.
Mo Li was worried about her friend... Friend?
Mo Li's heart skipped a beat. She thought socialization was a waste of time in her past life, so she had no friends, but she appeared to have one.
...
When Mo Li reached home, she only remembered a patient was back at home. She had even forgotten to prepare his lunch.
"I thought you have abandoned me because you don't want to cook for me." Mo Xiao didn't want to disturb his grandparents but he was too hungry. He was feeling dizzy from both the wounds and hunger. He called his grandparents and realized they had gone on a vacation. They would be back only 2 days later. Mo Xiao was about to starve to death when Mo Li returned.
Mo Li hurried to cook the dumplings. She added a few more simple dishes. Mo Xiao was so weak he could barely lift the chopsticks. Mo Li fed him a few dumplings and he finally felt better. Why doesn't this man just stay at the hospital and let the nurse take care of him? Mo Li grumbled internally.
However, Mo Li knew that Mo Xiao's discharge had Mo Yun's approval because Mo Li had not received a call from Mo Yun. If Mo Xiao had disappeared from the hospital without informing Mo Yun, Mo Yun would be turning Pearl River upside down looking for his brother.
"You've picked up a lot of talents when I was away. I've seen your commercial too. Not bad but your figure is still too young to fill up the lingerie!" Mo Li was surprised because, in the original, Mo Xiao was never one for words. He almost never spoke to Mo Li. But now he not only spoke to her, but he also even chided her jokingly about her breast. However, the topic just felt very weird and uncomfortable to Mo Li.
Mo Li shot back. "Hmph, of my 3 brothers, you are the least qualified to judge the figure of a woman!"
Mo Xiao's hands that held the chopsticks shook.
Mo Li knew from reading the original that her second brother was gay. It was also the reason why Mo Xiao managed to be unaffected after he was drugged when he was kidnapped. He was not interested in women.
...
Mo Li was incredibly tired as she lay down for bed that night. As she prepared to sleep, her phone vibrated. She wanted to ignore it but when she saw the caller Id was Lu Xian, she struggled to pick it up. "Hello."
Before she finished, the scream came through. "Teacher, your 3rd brother's legs can be saved! Our hospital has just received the latest 3d printer. A friend of mine..."
"Ross sent it to you?"
"Teacher, I should have known that you are familiar with everyone in the medical circle!"
