Chapter 302: Cried and Pleaded
The previously relaxed family atmosphere became tense again. Since Jiang Yao and Mo Yi were not home, Mo Yun was the head of the family.
Xiao Rui didn’t even set up bail for Mo Li because he was certain that she was not the murderer. He just let her home.
Mo Yun’s face was dark at the dining table. His throat was hoarse and his expression was dim. He must have been exhausted dealing with the PR in the morning. “Don’t worry, I’ll get people to look into the IP addresses of the posters. The Mo Family will not forgive anyone who dares to come after us.” When Mo Yun said that, his eyes wandered involuntarily to Qiao Qing. The girl didn’t make a sound and nodded her head in agreement. She licked her dry lips and continued to eat.
Mo Li didn’t say anything. To be frank, she couldn’t care less about this. After all, her personal safety wasn’t harmed. She was more curious about Deng Lin’s death.
After the dinner was over, Qiao Qing returned to her room. It was raining heavily outside the window, the weather report did say that a typhoon was coming. The rain carried a cold wind with it. The rain dotted her face and it felt like her heart was being shredded by bullets. Why can’t these people believe me? It must be because I am not the biological daughter of the Mo Family. Since that car accident issue, they have lost their faith in me.
After standing in the wind for some time, Qiao Qing’s fingers were red from the cold. She clenched her fists in an attempt to warm herself. However, she still felt incredibly cold.
If Mo Yun did find something… That day, when Qiao Qing saw Deng Lin come looking for Mo Li, she had been following the movement of the two girls. She moved to follow them when Mo Li led Deng Lin to the toilet. It was then that she ran into Zhou Xi. Qiao Qing told Zhao Xi about what she was doing.
Qiao Qing didn’t take any pictures but she did witness the whole process. Moreover, Qiao Qing couldn’t really control what Zhou Xi did.
With regards to how the pictures appeared on the school forum, Qiao Qing glanced at the other phone placed on her bedside table. The phone had been heavily encrypted. Even Mo Yun couldn’t find anything on it.
…
Despite the storm that plagued the Mo Family, there was still good news. Mo Xiao was improving. He was discharged from the hospital and Mo Yun had him sent to a rehabilitative home and had people take care of him.
After Mo Yun fetched Mo Li from school, he drove her to rehab. Just as they were about to take the elevator, they heard a heart-piercing scream. It broke the tranquility of the home.
The cry pulled Mo Li back to reality. Mo Yun stopped and led Mo Li to the source.
“Please, I’m begging you, don’t kick our child out. Please save help our Ah Hong! I’m begging you…” The woman cried mournfully. The man beside her sighed intermittently.
“It’s not that we don’t want to help you but you haven’t paid us for a month already. Our rooms are in short supply, we can’t do more for you.”
The woman and man had dark skin and they looked much older than their actual ages. The man had white hair and looked worried. The woman was kneeling on the ground, she held onto the coat of a middle-aged woman tightly. The female doctor’s face was tense and there was a hint of impatience in her eyes.
The woman on the ground was crying so much that her eyes were red. The doctor tried to move and the woman’s thin body was dragged along the ground. The woman was frail. Her lips were purple and her face was white. However, her neck and hands were red, she refused to let go. The doctor before her was the last saving grace of her dark world. If she let go, her world would collapse.
The man wanted to stop his wife who was making a scene. However, his hands froze in mid-air. He eventually put his arms down. His lips twitched and his mouth moved twice. Seeing how determined his wife was, he didn’t have the heart to stop her.
For the sake of their child, face was not important anymore.
“Doctor, we’ve been following your orders but Ah Hong’s conditions didn’t improve but have deteriorated! Doctor Zhao, can you please think of another way for us. We no longer have the money to use those machines. We can’t afford to have Ah Hong live here anymore!”
The gathered crowd become larger. They surrounded Doctor Zhao, a nurse, and the old couple in the middle. Most were there to watch the show, but some truly sympathized with the couple.
Doctor Zhao’s face turned ashen as more people gathered around them. She glared at the woman and berated. “So are you trying to say that my treatment is not good? You’re too poor to afford the best medicine and medical treatment but you’re trying to blame it on me? Quick, let go of me!”
