Chapter 58: Lesson Taught

She had Lin Mu apologize in person to me? At that moment, Mo Yu’s emotions were complicated.

“Can I go now?!” Lin Mu said through gritted teeth. He looked impatient as hell. The rumors said that the girl had a bad temper, the rumors were wrong! The girl was a demon from hell!

Lin Mu wouldn’t be surprised if Mo Li had murdered someone and buried them underground, much less driving a car to run into her brother.

“You can go. Remember to bid farewell to Elder Mo and Old Madam Mo before you do.” Mo Li chased the kid away without even looking at him.

It was Lin Mu’s turn to be indignant. He was beaten, he was forced to apologize but in the end, she wouldn’t even look at him.

Lin Fu walked down the stairs dejected. He walked stiffly like he had just been put through the dryer. I swear to not come close to anyone from Mo Family again!

Even though the house had good sound insulation, the commotion from upstairs wasn’t really that muted. In other words, everyone downstairs heard what happened earlier.

Qu Xuan’s face was pale. She was worried about her future after she married into the Mo Family. Would she be constantly bullied by Mo Li?

In her selfishness, she believe Mo Li was only doing this to scare her. Mo Li was making an example out of Lin Mu for Qu Xuan to witness!

If she dared to hit the Young Master Lin, who was Qu Xuan?

Qu Xuan’s heart started to panic. She watched with gaping mouth as Lin Mu walked down the stairs.

“Young, Young Master Lin, are you alright?” Even though Lin Mu was quite rude to her earlier, he was still the sole heir of the Lin Family. So in spite of her reservation, Qu Xuan went forward to show concern.

Lin Mu winced as he walked down the stairs but as Qu Xuan rushed towards him, he quickly straightened himself. He put on a casual front and said, “What do you mean by that? I am perfectly fine!”

“I’m so sorry on Miss Mo Li’s behalf. I have no idea she…” Qu Xuan jumped to apologize to Lin Mu to get into his good graces but she miscalculated one thing. If Lin Mu accepted this apology, it would mean that he admitted he had been beaten by a girl, and that definitely was not going to happen!

“The hell are you going on about? I’m perfectly fine and Miss Mo Li is a gracious host!”

Qu Xuan was surprised that Lin Mu would come to Mo Li’s defense. Lin Mu bowed respectfully at Elder Mo and Old Madam Mo before he hurriedly left the premise. Lin Mu had no mood to deal with Qu Xuan, the passerby.

…

The atmosphere upstairs had frozen in awkwardness. Mo Yu had never been able to stay so quietly in the same room as Mo Li before. After all, his crazy little sister was always in the state of anger or being angered. The chance of her sitting down quietly was zero.

But today Mo Li had completely surprised him. This Mo Li was a complete stranger to him. She had whipped Lin Mu for him and even made Lin Mu apologize for him. Thinking about Lin Mu’s face which was puffed up in resentment, Mo Yu broke in a laugh.

No! This is impossible! This is just too much. Am I dreaming?

While Mo Yu was still in his fantasy world, Mo Li suddenly walked towards him. Then the cane raised alongside Mo Li’s arm. The sound of pig squealing echoed inside the room again.

“Fuck!” As the cane snapped against his skin, Mo Yu cursed. This is so fucking painful! Now I can understand what Lin Mu was feeling earlier, who wouldn’t have beg for mercy in a situation like this?

“Mo Li! What are you doing?!” He thought the girl had turned over a new leaf but he was mistaken.

“I hit him because he attacked you and that is a sign of disrespect of the Mo Family.

“Now I am hitting you because you have opted for fists to resolve the problem. That is not the Mo Family way!” Mo Li paused for the knowledge to sink in. “And to make matters worse, you even lost in the fight! For shame!”

Hearing that, Mo Yu’s face burned. It was common for boys to get into fight. In fact Mo Li’s three older brothers were unstoppable fighters when they were kids. Mo Yu though clearly didn’t inherit that gene. If the news of his loss spread, the reputation of Mo Family would be affected.

Seeing the dazed look on Mo Yu’s face, Mo Li lifted the cane and gave him another whip. “This whip is for the disrespect shown to your elders. Have you considered how your parents and grandparents would feel before you got into that fight? Does your family mean nothing to you?”

Mo Yu took the whipping and didn’t cry out. Instead he glared fiercely at Mo Li. There were complicated emotions in his eyes. Hatred, anger, helplessness… but there was no repulsion like before.

Looking into Mo Li’s serious countenance, Mo Yu didn’t know what to think. Everything was too unexpected.

At that moment, Mo Li put away the cane. Mo Yu lifted his head in confusion and asked, “Wait… You’re not going to hit me anymore?”
