Chapter 406: Dongpo Meat Rice
Lu Ke had managed to crawl out of the car. Luo Cong grabbed onto her ankle. Lu Ke grabbed a steel pipe on the ground and swung it at Luo Cong. The violent shaking finally tipped the car over. The steel pipe fell out of Lu Ke’s hand. She screamed as she fell, pulled by Luo Cong. But the fall didn’t last as long as she thought. She opened her eyes and realized she was caught by steels bars that extended out of the foundation. She started to cry.
Meanwhile, Luo Cong and his car fell into the dark pit. Several steel bars slid down and echoed against the roof of the car. Blood seeped out from the driver’s seat. It was a frightening sight. It caused Lu Ke’s heart to skip a beat.
Mo Li and Ah Ao, who saw this, sighed. “We were just trying to scare them. Who would have thought this would happen but they deserve it!”
Mo Li turned to Ah Ao. “Destroy the car we took tonight. Slice it into parts, I’m sure you know what to do. I’ll be leaving.” There was no emotion on her face even after being a part of such an intense chase.

Mo Li waved at him and she said tiredly. “This place is close to my home, I’ll just call a cab.”

When she walked in the door, Mo Li saw Rou Rou sleeping on the living room couch hugging his prince ducking doll. He turned around to reveal his round tummy. Mo Li covered the blanket on Rou Rou. She noticed that Ah Zhong was always out working for Quan Yu at midnight. This was the only way Rou Rou wouldn’t know about it.
Mo Li went upstairs and noticed the light was still on in Mo Yun’s study. Mo Li slithered to her own room. Mo Yun’s voice came from his study, “You’re back? Where have you been? You smell horrible.”
“It’s nothing. I was meeting a client and had some wine to drink.”
Mo Yun closed his eyes. Clearly, he didn’t believe Mo Li. “Come to the hospital to visit Ol’ Three with us tomorrow. Mother said that he has already awakened. He doesn’t feel anything from the new bone except a small pain at night.” action
“The pain is normal. After all, the bones need to heal. I can’t do much about that.” Mo Li was telling the truth. This was part of the recovery. Plus this was a non-reversible surgery. She could not cut Mo Zheng open again to take out the 3d printed bone just because of the pain, could she?
“I know. Go and rest. We’ll go visit him together tomorrow.”
Mo Li was confused by Mo Yun’s action.?Why isn’t he asleep? Is he waiting for me to come home?
Mo Li’s prediction was right. Mo Yun had been watching the cameras at both their house and their grandparent’s home to wait for Mo Li to come home.

The next morning, Mo Li work up early. She made many dishes. They were nothing special. There was a plate of Dongpo meat, a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with bean sprouts, a plate of shiitake mushrooms, and broad beans with scallion oil. Mo Li poured a lot of effort into the clam soup.

After preparing breakfast for Mo Yun, Mo Li packed lunch boxes for Jiang Yao and Mo Zheng. They enjoyed the food a lot. Mo Zheng even asked for an extra bowl of rice. He paired it with the sauce from the Dongpo Meat.
Jiang Yao took a sip of Mo Li’s soup and sighed. “Where do you pick up this talent of cooking when I have none?”
“Mom, as long as there’s someone who knows how to cook in the family, it’s fine. You don’t need to do everything. Mo Li will cook more food for you tomorrow. You see how thin Mo Zheng is. Tomorrow, she will make Ol’ Three’s favorite, braised pork with bamboo shoots.”
Mo Li raised her brows at Mo Yun’s words.?When have I agreed to be their cook?
“Auntie Qiu is very worried about you so she has prepared a lot of supplements for you. She did a lot of research and made sure that they can be taken after surgery.” Mo Yun turned to Mo Zheng. “However, cold and sugary foods like cakes and desserts, you really shouldn’t touch them if you can.”
Mo Yun glanced at Qiao Qing and the cream cheese cakes and sticky rice cakes that she held.
“Big brother, Qing Qing is only trying to help me gain some appetite.”
