Chapter 230: Xiao Yue

Xiao Rui was more or less aware of Mo Li’s whereabouts. He expected Mo Li to return with some tan and scars, after all, she had just returned from the border. However, when Mo Li walked in, she was even more beautiful than before. For a moment, Xiao Rui even suspected Mo Li didn’t even venture to the border.

Mo Yun pulled out a stool for Mo Li but Mo Li walked past him and sat down beside Xiao Rui, this earned her the surprised gaze of everyone present.

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment before she turned to look at Mrs. Xiao and said, “Ha ha, the children have all grown up. They should sit wherever they want…”

Mo Yi’s expression was complicated. He was surprised that his daughter would choose to sit beside the eldest son of the Xiao Family. Mo Yun’s hand that held the chair gripped. Since when did Mo Li and Xiao Rui get so close?

Mrs. Xiao was shocked too. Isn’t Xiao Rui on bad terms with the Mo Family girl? Why are they sitting together then?

Xiao Yuan who sat beside Xiao Ming almost had his heart jump out from his throat. To his knowledge, Quan Yu and Mo Li were already a pair… so why had Mo Li chosen to sit beside his big brother? If Quan Yu found out about this… Xiao Yuan’s hand which held the chopsticks trembled.

“What are you planning sitting beside me?” This was a question but it sounded like an accusation from Xiao Rui’s lips.

“The new body…” Mo Li had just began when Xiao Rui coughed. He didn’t want to talk about that at the dinner table.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her son and pondered. Then she turned to everyone and said, “Let’s dig in. Then we should give the children some time to talk among themselves.” Then she shot Xiao Rui a look as if saying, Mommy got your back.

Xiao Rui resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

…

After dinner, people went off in pairs. Xiao Ming glanced at Mo Li and Xiao Rui who walked towards the balcony. His eyes turned frosty. Seeing this, Xiao Yue smiled and said, “Dad, are you worried about big brother and sister Mo Li?”

Xiao Ming didn’t say anything. After a long time, he sighed, “If only Xin Er is at home…” They were also once a big happy family, but now his eldest son rarely came home, his second son couldn’t be relied on and his daughter… well, had proven to be a disappointment. Seeing Mo Yi and his wonderful children, Xiao Ming felt aggrieved. Perhaps Xiao Ming was getting older because he kept thinking about the past recently. He regretted treated Xiao Xin like that back then, but the regret didn’t last for long. His biggest concern was that if he suddenly died, there was no one in the family who could help him keep the legacy of the Xiao Family going.

With the mention of Xiao Xin, Xiao Yue was flustered. Eventually Xiao Ming said, “I know my body is getting weaker, your eldest brother has his focus on the law enforcement, your second brother has his own business. Unfortunately I know your weakness all too well, compared to the Mo Family’s girl… Aiz, I can’t rely on you to hold up the Xiao Family. If Xin Er was here, perhaps she can do that… But forget it. What am I talking about? You should go and find that Qing girl to entertain yourself!”

Xiao Ming only mumbled these things mindlessly but they had a caused huge storm in Xiao Yue’s heart. I have done so many things to maintain my image and help to grow the company, but in the end, I barely even figure in Xiao Ming’s heart? Xiao Xin is one thing but to think that he actually thinks I’m inferior to that Mo Li?! The grievance that Xiao Yue felt at the charity ball under the hand of Mo Li welled up in Xiao Yue’s heart. She still hadn’t forget that humiliation.

Xiao Ming didn’t even notice his daughter’s expression. He continued to ramble, “You have failed spectacularly at that charity ball. Now I don’t expect much from you anymore. All I need from you to find a man and then give me a child to carry on the Xiao Family legacy. That is the only way you can be useful to me. Aiz, with a daughter like you, I wonder how much longer the Xiao Family will be around.”

Xiao Yue’s fingers clenched tightly when she heard that. She couldn’t believe she would hear these words from her own father!
