Chapter 11: Relationship Longevity

Translator: Lonelytree 

If it wasn’t for Mo Yi’s incompetence, this news wouldn’t have spread as fast as it did.

“I also don’t believe that Li Li would do such a thing.” Madam Mo quickly chimed in, “No matter what, I am on Li Li’s side.

​​ 

“By the way, haven’t we already decided to send that daughter of your former employee overseas? Li Li doesn’t like her. How do you expect Li Li to be happy if you keep that girl around?”

Elder Mo nodded. He knew this incident was not as simple as it seemed but somehow his stupid son couldn’t see it. He also agreed with his wife regarding the arrangement of Qiao Qing. One hired an employee to help with the company, not to act as an adoption agency!

“But… Father, the child has been with us for many years already… It’s a bit rash to just send her away like that…” Mo Yi was quite upset about this, but his parents had already made up their minds. No matter how Mo Yi argued on Qiao Qing’s behalf, he was not going to shake his parents’ conviction.

Before the atmosphere froze any further, Mo Li reached out to tug on Madam Mo’s sleeve affectionately. “Grandma, please don’t blame dad. This is my fault, I shouldn’t have quarreled with third brother in the first place.”

Mo Li did believe that the original Mo Li was in the wrong at least in this matter. She shouldn’t have made a fuss simply due to Mo Zheng’s preferential treatment of Qiao Qing. The original Mo Li was too possessive and selfish.

But in regards to the car accident, Mo Li did not want to waste her breath on useless explanation, especially not before her grandparents who trusted her unconditionally. Mo Li had no evidence… If she argued without a gathered case, she would only appear unreasonable and pushy.

“Li Li!” Madam Mo gasped in surprise. When did her Sweetie become so understanding?

Mo Yi was also a little surprised. He didn’t expect her daughter to speak on his behalf before his mother. Mo Yi could not help but feel his eyes redden. The girl had really learned her lesson, their education had not been in vain.

Elder Mo’s pupils trembled slightly for a moment, then he waved his hand at Mo Li. Mo Yi was very familiar with this tick of his father and he immediately stood up to exclaim, “Father! Mo Li is a girl, please don’t do this! Plus, I believe Li Li has really learned her lesson, there is no need for corporal punishment!” Mo Yi blocked before Mo Li. However, with a glare from Elder Mo, Mo Yi shrunk back to his place.

Mo Li gave her father a reassuring look, telling him that it was going to be fine. Elder Mo patted the space beside him, signaling her to sit down.

“Sweetie, the reason we have your father and you here is to find out how your father is going to handle this issue. The fact that you have admitted your mistake is very comforting to grandpa.”

There were many different emotions in Elder Mo’s eyes. Mo Li was his only granddaughter. He had always granted her anything she wanted.

Mo Li was the only girl in the family. Even if she did cross the line, the Mo Family would figure out a way to make the problem go away.

Thankfully, this time, the issue was within the family so it shouldn’t be that hard to settle. However, Elder Mo was ultimately a fair person, there was only so much he could turn a blind eye to. If Mo Li crossed the bottom line, he would punish her accordingly too. So the fact that Mo Li had owned up to her mistake was comforting to Elder Mo. She had learned her lesson, that was good enough.

Upon hearing that, Madam Mo let out a sigh of relief. When she thought her husband was going to punish her Sweetie, she was ready to intervene.

“Mo Li, this incident will end here, let bygones be bygones. Grandpa will ensure that no one in the family will dare to trouble you anymore about this. However, you need to apologize to Zheng ‘Er, after all, you’re still the reason his legs are injured. And promise me, this kind of incident won’t happen again, okay?”

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Mo Li nodded and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry!”

After some thought, Elder Mo added, “Li Li, I don’t care how you treat outsiders but you mustn’t harm anyone within the family. This time, due to your age, I’ll let this slide. When you’re back home, be nice to your brother. I’ll summon a family meeting in two days and we’ll settle this once and for all.”

Mo Li nodded again.

In the book, Elder Mo was well-respected for his authority in the house. After all, he was the one who exiled Mo Li in the end. Madam Mo tried to stop him, even going so far to try to rescue Mo Li without her husband’s knowledge but it was pointless, Mo Li’s exile was written in stone.

“Alright, old man, stop glaring at our Sweetie! If you spooked her, I’ll be the death of you!” Madam Mo warned in a joking manner. The senior couple had kept up this banter for their whole lives. In truth though, they each had their assigned roles in the family.

Madam Mo was in charge of small matters, while for momentous decisions, Madam Mo still deferred to her husband. Perhaps that was the secret to the longevity of their relationship.
