Mo Yun frowned slightly, Mo Li was not the kind of person who would bring her friend home. Furthermore, Mo Yun knew all the children of the powerful families at Pearl River but he had not seen this girl behind Mo Li before.
Along the way home, inside the car, Lin Fei said nothing, but she kept stealing glances at Mo Li and Mo Yun.
When they reached home, Mo Li explained since Lin Fei was technically her guest, "She was bullied because of me at school." Mo Yun didn't say anything but turn to his study because he understood the girl needed to change. After Lin Fei was done changing, Mo Yun walked out and thought to walk Lin Fei to the door as a good host. However to his surprise, Mo Li asked Lin Fei to stay for dinner. Mo Yun looked at her strangely. Normally Mo Li wouldn't even say a word to them on the dinner table, so why was she so friendly around this Lin Fei?
Mo Yun took a deep breath. His little sister had always been heterosexual, her sexual orientation wouldn't change overnight, would it? If not, why was Mo Li treating this girl so differently?
After dinner, Mo Li surprised everyone again by bringing Lin Fei to her study. Lin Fei followed behind her like a bunny hopping after her master.
"You have to be more careful in the future, and it's for your own safety to distance yourself from me. Please don't send me anymore biscuits." Mo Li's words sounded like she cared for Lin Fei, but her tone was cold. She wanted Lin Fei to stay away from her.
"I, I…" Lin Fei stammered for a long time. Her face was red but she came up with nothing. Mo Li asked for the driver to send Lin Fei home through her phone. Seeing Lin Fei walk out the study door, Mo Li sighed to herself…
…
At that same moment, Mo Yi walked down the stairs with a deep frown on his face, it was clear that something was bothering him. Mo Yun noticed this and asked, "Father, is there something wrong?"
Mo Yi didn't lift his head but only stated, "Lil' Three is allowed to come home already." It was a simple statement but it made Mo Yun's heart skip a beat. He thought about it and decided to call for Mo Li. In her study, Mo Li glanced at the calendar on her table. She sighed. She knew this was coming because she had read the original.
When she walked down the stairs and saw Mo Yun and Mo Yi sitting there with serious countenances, Mo Li knew it had to be about that.
"Li Li, daddy has something to discuss with you," Mo Yi coughed and called Mo Li by her pet name, hoping to cushion the imminent blow.
Mo Li nodded and didn't respond too agitatedly.
"Erm… It's that…" Even after a bit of tittering, Mo Yi still didn't know how to phrase the problem. Lil' Three still had a deep resentment towards Mo Li. This placed the father in a tough spot. In the end, he decided to say it plainly, "The doctor has agreed for Mo Zheng to come home to rest."
Mo Jun couldn't stand his father sometimes. At the company, his father was a quick thinker, calm and clever, but when he was around his daughter, he was hesitant, and unconfident.
Mo Li nodded, she already knew about this.
In the original, Mo Zheng made a huge fuss at the hospital. He refused to come back home as long as Mo Li was still there. The doctor said that Mo Zheng's emotions couldn't be affected. If he was placed under too much mental pressure, it would harm his recovery.
"So you need me to move out from the house?" Mo Li asked calmly as she looked Mo Yi and Mo Yun in their eyes. This direct question startled Mo Yi and Mo Yun, they didn't expect Mo Li to voice this proposition herself.
"Well, yes and no… You'll be living with your grandparents, this is perfect because they have been missing you so much."
Mo Yun was surprised that Mo Li was so calm, he was already prepared with the arguments to convince Mo Li. But Mo Li only nodded her assent with a shrug.
Seeing how understanding Mo Li was, even Mo Yun was at a loss for words.
Mo Yi looked at his daughter and noted how detached she was. Mo Yi's heart bled. "Daddy will personally ferry you there, if you need anything, please tell daddy…" Mo Yi said to make up to Mo Li. However, Mo Li only shook her head. She accepted the arrangement peacefully. This only cut deeper into Mo Yi's heart, it made him feel like he had owed his daughter.
