Chapter 81: A Better Life

As Xu Wan had said, the rumors in the company spread quickly. Before Mo Yan got off work, she had heard people from other departments whispering behind her back.

Because she had prepared herself early in the morning, Mo Yan was able to turn a deaf ear to them.

When Mo Yan arrived at the hospital, Mo Cheng was also there. She did not know what he had said to their mother, but it made her laugh. This made Mo Yan’s face involuntarily reveal a smile.

The care in the VIP ward was very good. As soon as Mo Yan entered the door, the two of them looked over. Her mother had recovered well from the surgery. Now, she could slowly get out of bed and walk on her own.

Perhaps because she had expectations for life, her mother’s spirit was getting better and better.

Thinking of Qin Yuan who had helped her, Mo Yan still had some doubts. After all, she still did not know what Qin Yuan’s purpose of helping her was? But she had to say that Qin Yuan was the person she was most grateful to.

“Wow! Sister, you bought so many fruits.” Mo Cheng took Mo Yan’s bag and exclaimed.

Putting the things on the small cabinet, Mo Cheng took an orange and peeled it for his mother.

“Mother, what did Cheng tell you that made you so happy?”

Mo Yan’s eyes curved as she sat beside her mother’s bed and held her mother’s hand.

Mo Yan’s mother was also holding onto Mo Yan’s hand. When she saw Mo Yan’s slightly thin face, an unnoticeable trace of heartache flashed across her eyes. She knew that her illness was a toll on her children.

“Cheng! He was talking about Luo Tao just now!”

Mo Yan’s mother had always told Mo Yan not to overexert herself, but Mo Yan would not listen. So every time Mo Yan came, she would show Mo Yan that she had recovered, so that Mo Yan could rest a.s.sured. When she was fully recovered, Mo Yan would not be so tired anymore.

“Luo Tao? What did you say about him?” Mo Yan asked curiously.

At this time, Mo Cheng handed over another orange. After peeling one for their mother, he peeled one for Mo Yan.

“Cheng, tell her! When you asked Luo Tao to help you taste your dish, you scalded Luo Tao. Luo Tao was too embarra.s.sed to spit it out.”

Mother Mo said as she looked at Mo Yan with a smile.

Hearing Mother Mo’s words, Mo Yan pouted and glared at Mo Cheng.

“Mo Cheng has a big mouth! Mom, don’t believe what Cheng said. I didn’t burn Luo Tao.”

“Sister, I saw it in the kitchen, how can you still not admit it.” Mo Cheng said with a funny look.

“Also, Mom, you don’t know! I only didn’t let them sleep together for one night. These two people had dark circles under their eyes the next day!”

Mo Cheng’s words once again made Mother Mo laugh out loud.

Mo Yan pinched Mo Cheng’s cheek across the single-bed. “Brat, you’re spouting nonsense! Who has dark circles under their eyes?”

“The two of you. I’m not exaggerating.” Mo Cheng stubbornly refused to change his words.

Mo Yan took a deep breath and increased the strength in her hands.

“You’re talking nonsense!”

“Okay okay okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. It wasn’t you two, it was me, it was me, okay?”

In the end, Mo Cheng was defeated by Mo Yan’s violence.

Mother Mo looked at her playful children and her heart became lighter. All she needed to do now was to recover quickly.

The siblings stayed in Mother Mo’s ward for a while before leaving. The sky was slightly dark and the hospital was not far from home. The two of them slowly walked home.

Only then did Mo Yan have the opportunity to ask the question she did not ask before, “Mo Cheng, who bullied you at school?”

Hearing Mo Yan call his full name, Mo Cheng started to get nervous. He was afraid that he would not be able to divert the conversation this time.

“Sister, why are you still thinking about this matter? Didn’t I say that I would solve it myself?”

“If you could solve it yourself, you wouldn’t have been bullied,” Mo Yan hit the nail on the head and said.

Mo Cheng was unable to refute her. How did his sister become so sharp after he had not seen her for a while.

Seeing that he couldn’t hide it, Mo Cheng had no choice but to show his cards. “It’s just a few seniors. They borrowed money from me.”

“Borrowed money? They’re robbing families at school? They’re bullying my younger brother.” Mo Yan’s voice seemed to contain some danger.

“Rob, robbing families?” Mo Cheng choked on his sister’s words and slightly tilted his head to see Mo Yan’s expression. However, Mo Yan was thinking about something with her head lowered, so he couldn’t see clearly.

“Are all the injuries on your body caused by them?” Mo Yan asked.

“Uh, yes,” Mo Cheng answered.

In fact, Mo Cheng’s situation was a bit tricky. Even if he reported to the teacher, he wouldn’t always be able to protect Mo Cheng. Moreover, the children in high school all had rebellious mentality. If a few students bore grudges against Mo Cheng, it would be a bad to make things worse.
