Chapter 14: I Was Tricked Too

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Tell me, who the hell are you!”

Elder Mo’s voice was so cold that the needle in Huo Yanwang’s hand fell to the ground. However, Huo Yanwang no longer had the time to care about the needle. He just stared at Elder Mo in a daze.

Then, under Elder Mo’s imposing gaze, his legs slowly went limp and he fell to the ground.

The truth was already clear. Elder Mo then shifted his gaze onto Mo Ning.

Mo Jun, who had just spoken up for Mo Ning, felt his face hurt.

“Grandfather, I don’t know anything. I was tricked too. I was just too anxious to save my cousin, that’s why I called him here without verifying who he was.”

Mo Ning hurriedly explained. When she met Elder Mo’s scrutinizing eyes, cold sweat started to form on her forehead.

Elder Mo snorted coldly. The matter was resolved just like that.

Not long after, Mo Ting’s royal doctor rushed over and shut everyone outside the door. He hurriedly started to treat Mo Ting.

“Who knows what a certain someone was thinking, introducing some kind of random doctor.”

“Exactly. They must be crazy to want benefits, right?”

Outside the door, the members of the Mo family were criticizing Mo Ning one after another. It could be said that she was as embarrassed as she was just now.

Mo Ning looked around hatefully. Suddenly, she looked at Chi Xiao who was watching the show from the side with her sharp eyes and said in a high-pitched voice, “It’s you. It’s all because of you that my cousin went out regardless of his health. It’s all because of you that something happened to him.”

Perhaps everyone had a common trait. When they were being criticized, they were all willing to criticize another person to relieve their pressure.

Mo Ning was like this now. The more she said, the more she felt that what she said made sense. The more she looked at Chi Xiao, the more smug she became, “It’s all because you had nothing better to do that led to this situation. If my cousin dies, you have to die with him.”

Mo Jun, who was standing beside Mo Ning, also felt that Mo Ning’s words were very reasonable. He wanted to comment on it several times, but when his gaze landed on Su Ling, who was beside Chi Xiao, he held it back.

Su Ling was clearly the one who rushed forward without thinking. What was wrong with Su Ling this time?

Could it be that there was something about Chi Xiao that he did not know?

Just as Mo Ning was cursing, Mo Han rubbed her eyes and rested her head on Chi Xiao’s shoulder. His small body swayed a little.

“Oh.” Mo Han made a sound unconsciously. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and yawned with his mouth open.

“Mom, is it morning?”

Mo Han’s voice was not loud, but it was so strange that everyone in the Mo family who were gathered in the hall could hear it clearly.

After hearing his words, everyone’s expression changed. They knew how difficult Mo Han was to deal with. Mo Han didn’t even care about them, but now he was calling Chi Xiao “Mother?”

Immediately, everyone’s gaze towards Chi Xiao changed.

This woman was ugly, but her schemes weren’t bad either.

Otherwise, how could she have dealt with Mo Han so quickly?

Chi Xiao smiled gently and patted Mo Han’s head. She said gently, “It’s dawn now. We’re home. Have you slept enough, Han Han?”

Mo Han lay on Chi Xiao for a while more before he prepared to come down. After regaining his strength, Mo Han looked like a fair and tender little bun again. “I’ve already woken up. Where’s Dad? I saw him before I fell asleep.”

The moment he mentioned his father, it was as if he had flipped a switch. The living room became noisy again. Mo Ning was still saying that she was not at fault and that it was an accident.

Chi Xiao took the opportunity to squat down and asked Mo Han who was curious, “Han Han, is there anyone here who doesn’t treat you very well?”

Mo Han tilted his head and didn’t understand what the standard of ‘not well’ was.

“Is there anyone who treats Han Han badly and has no patience, and doesn’t look at you kindly?”

Mo Han thought for a moment, “Other than Great-Grandpa, Dad, and Grandma, everyone treats Han Han badly.”

Although she had expected it, Chi Xiao’s heart was filled with hatred when she heard that. She looked coldly at the noisy crowd and asked coldly, “Is that so?”

Mo Han nodded vigorously and rubbed his stomach. “Mom, Han Han is hungry.”

Chi Xiao then brought Mo Han to the restaurant. Before they left, she even told Su Ling to take good care of Mo Ting.

How could Su Ling not be happy when she saw that Chi Xiao was concerned about her son?

Chi Xiao was good to her son, good to her grandson, and she might even be able to cure her son’s illness. Now that Su Ling was 100% satisfied with Chi Xiao, so what if she was ugly?

So what if she was ugly? It would save her the trouble of seducing other people.

With this thought in mind, Su Ling looked at Mo Ning who had a delicate face in the crowd and scoffed in disdain.

This was an example. Mo Ning was a promiscuous and fickle person. A few years ago, Mo Ning’s husband had to come home every day to complain about Mo Ning’s actions. In the end, what could he do?

Wasn’t it because Mo Ning couldn’t control herself and the two of them had to get a divorce?
