Chapter 44: Bullied Again

Translator: Lonelytree

Mo Yun and Mo Yi’s eyes kept wandering to Mo Li at the backseat. Neither of them said anything though. Why was Mo Li on the second floor, how did she save Quan Yu? Is there nothing else between then? Mo Yu wanted to ask but he didn’t know how to start…

“What were you doing with Master Quan inside that lounge?” In the end, it was Mo Yun who couldn’t resist the temptation and asked first.

Mo Li was startled by the sudden question and she started. Mo Yi and Mo Yun captured this detail and both of them frowned.

“Dad, big brother, please don’t worry! When I walked in, Master Quan was in the middle of an asthma attack. I saw him reaching for the table, so I walked over and quickly handed the asthma spray to him.” Mo Li said casually like it was the truth.

Mo Yi couldn’t tell whether his daughter was telling the truth or not. He turned to look out the car window, and sighed under his breath. If that was all, then it would be fine. The two were just casual acquaintance, but if there was something more between them… Mo Yi prayed that it was not that case or else big events were about to shake the Mo Family.

When she returned home, it was already too late for Mo Li to check the USB given to her by Quan Yu. After a quick clean up, she slept. The next day, she woke up early and went to school.

Even though it had only been a night, the rumors about Mo Li on the school forum had reached another new height.

“I hear she was found naked in Master Quan’s bed, and was hauled out after that.”

“Pfft, who does she think she is? Naturally Master Quan would not have time for a slut like her.”

“But I heard she was the one being framed.”

“You are too naïve. We should be thankful that someone like her is not out there framing someone. She is too cunning to be framed.”

“I wonder how Master Quan will deal with her, he’ll probably find someone to assassinate her! At least that is compensation for our brother’s leg.”

“You’re right. She would only lose her life but our brother has lost his dream.”

Mo Li ignored the people pointing at her and walked to her seat. When Qiao Qing walked into the classroom, the eyes finally turned away from Mo Li. However, their focus was still on her. They turned to Qiao Qing, hoping to get more gossips about Mo Li and Master Quan. There were more bad things said about Mo Li.

Sitting at her seat, Mo Li was reminded of a plot point from the original book. There was a time when something similar happened to the original Mo Li. A picture was taken of her returning home with a male senior. Rumors said that Mo Li was going to the motel with him.

The book didn’t explain it but Mo Li was confident that it was Qiao Qing who was behind the rumor, so she made a big mess out of it. Despite her background, the original Mo Li knew nothing about respect and grace.

After she convinced herself that Qiao Qing was the culprit, she started to spread nasty rumors about Qiao Qing. This happened way back when the class was not that familiar with Qiao Qing, they only knew of the famous young miss of the Mo Family. To get into her good book, the other students all sided with Mo Li and bullied Qiao Qing. The irony was that Mo Li was doing the same thing to Qiao Qing which she believed Qiao Qing had done to her. Qiao Qing was fully isolated and she did not even have one friend.

However, as the school term progressed and Mo Li’s true colors started to show, people started to shy away from her. In contrast, Qiao Qing used this opportunity and her acts of ‘innocence’ as well as ‘kindness’ to earn more friendships.

…

And now it appeared like history was repeating itself. Mo Li wondered if the original Mo Li was right and Qiao Qing was really behind this or was it someone else. But like the original Mo Li, she had no evidence either. Unlike the original Mo Li though, she was not going to raise a fuss unless she had full confidence.

Mo Li sat at her seat pondering all these when something struck her as odd. She turned to the door and then it hit her!

Lin Fei didn’t come to gift her the daily box of biscuit or stay at the door to sneak looks at her. When Mo Li walked to her class earlier, she was sure Lin Fei had already arrived at school. Mo Li didn’t expect that Lin Fei would keep on gifting her stuff, but to suddenly stop coming to see her? That was unexpected. Mo Li hoped that Lin Fei would eventually come out from the door and walk into the classroom to talk to her. Mo Li worried about Lin Fei.

If Mo Li remembered correctly, Lin Fei had sports class for the first period. Mo Li decided to go to the field to check up on her potential friend. Mo Li took several turns and soon reached the school field, when she did, she was stunned.

There was a small space next to the warehouse behind the education block. A few familiar faces were there, surrounding Lin Fei in the middle. There were 2 new faces. They held the water hoses used by the gardeners and shot jets of water at Lin Fei, drenching her completely.

“Who do you think you are? You think you can look down on us because you’re now close to Mo Li? Do you think she really treats you as a friend?”

“Don’t forget that you’re a bastard child. If not for your adopted parents, you won’t even be here.”

“You’re not even qualified to carry our shoes.”

“I’ve been meaning to do this when I noticed you gave those things to Mo Li daily. You’re so disgusting! Trash!”
