Mo Hai immediately fell silent and looked at her in astonishment.

She looked at him and turned around, saying, “Let’s go.”

Puzzled, Mo Hai replied, “Li Shu, I’m not done teaching this silly boy a lesson. I have to get him to apologize to Mo Zhi, you—”

Before he could finish what he was saying, Li Shu spun around and snapped at him, “Do you have any idea of how much you look like a clown, yelling at everyone, right now?!”

Her remark shut him up immediately.

Obediently, he walked out after Li Shu.

Yao Lili glanced at Mo Xicheng and her expression darkened at once. She quickly followed the couple.

Seeing that they had left the room, Shi Nianyao looked at Mo Xicheng and lowered her head. She said, “I- I’ll be back in a bit.”

Following this, she walked out after them.

At the corridor, Yao Lili and Mo Hai were still going on about Mo Xicheng and his scheme.

Yao Lili said, “Madam, I really didn’t expect Mo Xicheng to do this. I really didn’t know, please don’t be angry. It was all Mo Xicheng’s fault.”

Mo Hai joined and said, “Exactly, Li Shu. Think about it, it’s really simple. Our Mo Zhi is not that sort of person. Mo Xicheng wanted to force himself on the girl so that the Shi family would have to take him as a son-in-law, then put the blame on Mo Zhi.”

Before he could finish, they suddenly heard a voice behind them, “Hang on.”

They halted and turned around.

They looked at Shi Nianyao walking elegantly towards them, a step at a time.

Yao Lili frowned and asked, “What now?”

Mo Hai gave an icy laugh too and added, “What do you want?

She eyed them and suddenly looked at Li Shu. “Auntie Li Shu, I have a few things to say to you in private.”

Li Shu looked at her and nodded.

Shi Nianyao moved with Li Shu away from Yao Lili and Mo Hai, and walked with her to a balcony nearby.

Looking straight at Shi Nianyao, she asked, “What is it you wish to say?”

The girl said after a while, “I can prove that Yao Lili and Mo Hai are lying.”

Li Shu paused. “You have proof?”

Shi Nianyao said, “That’s right. Yao Lili claimed that Mo Xicheng tricked me into going to the hospital to get his way with me, but perhaps you don’t know that he and I… we’re already married.”

Li Shu was immediately stunned and asked, “What- what do you mean?”

“I mean that we have registered our marriage! So I’m already his, why would Mo Xicheng ask Yao Lili to trick me?! I think you understand the people in our families. The reason we got married in secret was because we didn’t want to be entangled in the Mo family’s affairs, but even if he really wanted the Mo family’s estate…”

Shi Nianyao felt that she didn’t have to say it explicitly.

She lowered her head and continued, “Lastly, I hate Mo Zhi. And I think you know why. What they say about him framing Mo Zhi and taking advantage of me… Huh, you must know that I only need to say a word to my elder brother and Mo Xicheng could have everything.”

Li Shu had fallen silent.

After Shi Nianyao made these threats, she bowed deeply to the woman and said, “Auntie, I know what I’ve said is disrespectful, but this is proof.”

Without turning back, she walked away.

Li Shu stood by herself on the balcony for a while to compose herself. Then she walked to Mo Zhi’s ward.

As she entered the ward, she saw Mo Hai trying to placate the boy.

The both of them turned around at once to look at Li Shu.

Li Shu’s gaze fell on Mo Zhi. She walked up to him.
