Chapter 111: The Internet Rumours
Mo Li blinked vacantly at Mo Yun. She was wearing a nightgown with bunny print.
Mo Yun expected different reactions from Mo Li, be it refusal, acceptance or negotiation but he didn’t expect the silent treatment.
Mo Li floated past Mo Yun and placed the plate of strawberry crepe in Mo Yun’s hands. Then she went upstairs to her room.
Mo Yun was stumped. For a moment, he didn’t know what to do or say. To be honest, he had no idea what came over him to compel him to come to his grandparent’s place to demand Mo Li go home with him. Perhaps it was her mother’s tears that did him in.
Mo Li’s lack of reaction was like a cold water thrown into his face. While disheartening, it also brought some rationality back into Mo Yun’s mind.

Mo Yun paced in the living room, trying to figure out a solution. Elder Mo saw how Mo Li handled this situation and he smiled satisfactorily to himself.
After Mo Li returned to her room, she did her math homework and then studied quantum theory. Then she prepared for bed.
After he got tired of pacing, Mo Yun sat down and stared at the strawberry crepe Mo Li handed him. The crepe was thin as paper. Mo Yun took a bite of it. The strawberry jam was tangy but there was also an underlying layer of sweetness. Mo Yun identified it as crushed goji berries. Goji was red in color so it was near unidentifiable inside the strawberry jam. It was a berry meant to promote good eyesight. It also acted as a natural sweetener to replace artificial sugar.
The crepe and the use of Chinese medicine reminded Mo Yun of the meal he had when he was sick. He later found out that Auntie Qiu was not home that day, so the meal must have been made by Mo Li. With that in mind, Mo Yun’s lips curled involuntarily upwards.
When they were young, Mo Li always followed behind him, calling him Big Brother. Whenever she was free, she would ask him to twirl her around and to play Princess with her.
However, since they grew old, Mo Yun couldn’t remember the last time she called him Big Brother anymore.
With the sweetness of the dessert on his lips and the sweetness of the memory in his mind, Mo Yun sat on the couch and fell asleep.
Elder Mo grabbed a blanket and threw it over Mo Yun. Then he returned to his room to share the news with his wife.
Old Madam Mo huffed indignantly. Then she said with a displeased frown. “What are they thinking? Is our Sweetie some kind of object that they can pass around whenever they please?”
“You’re right and I’ve lectured him about it! They are just outrageous. When Sweetie was here, not one of them came to visit her. But now that our Sweetie has gotten used to staying with us, they sent over this kid to steal her away from us!”
Old Madam Mo nodded. “How ungrateful. But since Xiao Yun is here, that can only mean that the incident has been resolved.”
Elder Mo was silent. “In that case, we’ll have to push that agenda that we talked about ahead of schedule.”
…
Initially, the Mo Family was worried that the second expose would affect Mo Li even further, but when the news was released, they realized they were overthinking!
Everyone in the upper echelon at Pearl River, those who knew and did not know the Mo Family rallied behind Mo Li.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“As a fine lady, I knew Mo Li will not do something like this.”
“I’ve never met a girl as collected as Mo Li, people need to stop bullying here.”
“Those spreaders of rumors truly have no heart.”
Even Wen Xue, who didn’t have a good relationship with Mo Li had put in a good word for her.
Speaking of which, ever since Wen Xue’s bullying video had been leaked, her reputation was damaged. Most of her acting contracts had been revoked. The thought of it made Wen Xue intensely angry.
Thanks to this news, Wen Xue only found out about Mo Li’s real identity, the girl was just coming to the set to play. Other than the Mo Family, there was another mysterious force supporting her. Wen Xue had no one but her own blindness to blame for attacking Mo Li.
Lin Mu scrolled through the news articles and he was both amused and angry.
When the door clicked open, he immediately pinched the cigarette he was holding. Due to the frantic motion, the ember burned his fingertips. Lin Mu grimaced and he hissed in pain.
