Chapter 112 - Disappointment
Chapter 112: Disappointment
It was Elder Lin who entered the room. He frowned when he smelled the cigarette smoke in the air. He glanced at his useless grandson who had already picked up a bad habit at his young age. How can he ever be worthy of the Mo Family’s girl?
Even Elder Lin had no faith in Lin Mu. He grabbed the brat by his ear and dragged him to his study to give him a good lecture.
…
The internet was quite busy for the past 2 days. Once the news went online, it was proven that the whole incident had nothing to do with Mo Li. In fact, she had been faring marvelously considering the pressure she was under.
“I’m surprised that the whole chaos began from within the Mo Family.”
“Hey, don’t start another rumor. This is the work of a fanatic fan.”
“Can we even call them fans? They’re more like psychopaths.”
“I now worry for our Miss Mo Li. She’s such a beauty, would she really attract the attention of other psychopaths?”
“The Mo Family has such good genes. The males are all handsome and females all so pretty. I’d fangirl over any of them.”
“But to send the sister to replace the brother to fulfill his entertainment agency’s contract, only the Mo Family can come up with a plan as crazy as that.”
“At the end of the day, they just don’t want to breach the contract. Plus, Mo Li is only doing it for fun, she still focuses mainly on her studies.”
“I hear that she is going to enter the national IMO.”
“She’s both clever and beautiful. I’ve already registered to be her fan!”
“But I heard that she is a school bully, I wonder if that’s true or not.”
…
The discussion about Mo Li online was like a tornado that threatened to engulf the entire Mo family. If not for the heavy security details, the reporters would rush into the family compound and hunt them down for news.
As promised by Mo Yi, the incident was brought to court. Driver Lin was fired and Lin Fei was sentenced to 3 years in juvie. The decisive evidence in the case was provided by Quan Yu. Granted it passed through Nie Li before it reached Mo Li. His people managed to salvage the footage from the car’s traffic cam. It was short but it proved quite clearly Lin Fei was driving the car when the accident happened.
“Unfortunately, the collision has irreparably ruined the footage after that, or else we might have been always to see or hear what really happened next…” When they exited the court, Mo Yi glared at Xu Yan.
The woman insisted that the whole incident had nothing to do with her, they were just hounding her as a scapegoat. According to her, she went to the underground garage that day to borrow a car.
Xu Yan looked back at Mo Yi. Gods were really on her side this time. If the footage continued, it would have recorded her deal with Lin Fei and it would be truly over for her then!
Mo Yi might be able to forgive him but her father and mother-in-law would never forgive her. Mo Yi didn’t say anything on the way home.
When they reached home, Mo Yi led Mo Yun and Mother Mo into the study. Soon Qiao Qing came in carrying 3 cups of tea.
“Father, mother… Big brother…” She kept her head lowered until her head was almost buried in her chest. Her voice was pained like she was in great sufferance.
“The cheek on you to still refer to us as your parents!” Mo Yi slammed angrily on the table. “We’ve seen the traffic cam footage at court today! You were there in person. From your direction, you would have seen it was Lin Fei but you insisted that it was Mo Li who drove into Mo Zheng! You, you…”
“Qing Qing, I’ve always treated you as my own daughter but how can you do this to us. I really don’t know what to say…” Mother Mo looked at Qiao Qing and her eyes were filled with disappointment.
Qiao Qing bit on her lower lips. “Father! Mother! You have to believe me! It’s not what you believe! I really didn’t see her that clearly!”
The perfect image that she had cultivated for years had crumbled because of something as insignificant as this. They are Mo Li’s biological parents. I should have known better. They never trusted me to begin with.
In the footage, it only showed Qiao Qing walking towards Lin Fei. That was no evidence to prove that Qiao Qing would be able to identify Lin Fei. Therefore, if Qiao Qing insisted that the rain had lowered her visibility, and she had accidentally mistaken Lin Fei for Mo Li, there was still a chance for her to turn this around!
