Chapter 332 - Was Mrs. Mo so Haughty Because of Mr. Mo’s Indulgence?
Su Zhilan’s fingers, which hung at her side, quivered silently as she stared at the man whose eyes were cold. “My grandfather was… forced to surrender those powers to you?”
K, who had been standing behind Mo Jingshen and listening silently, couldn’t bear it anymore. Although he had had contact with Miss Su before, he couldn’t help cutting in when he saw her questioning Mr. Mo with such an attitude. “Miss Su, Mr. Mo has been very kind to your family. If Mr. Mo hadn’t considered his past partnership with Elder Su and Shine Group, the Su family would have to face more than merely handing in those powers. You should stop pestering him, which won’t get you anywhere. You should have known this since Mr. Mo left the US last time.”
“I didn’t know!” Su Zhilan bit her lower lip and stared at Mo Jingshen’s unmoved face. “So, I was being used by you, wasn’t I? Through me, you broke the last barrier between you and the Su family and trampled the Su family that is supposed to match you in strength! Now, the Su family can only develop in the business circle but won’t have any future in the arms industry!”
Mo Jingshen’s thin lips moved, and he said indifferently, “You think you were used by me? But all of this started with your intentional deception, didn’t it?”
“Me? When did I deceive you?” Su Zhilan’s face immediately stiffened.
Mo Jingshen gave an imperceptible cold smile. “Have you forgotten that you lied to me in the ward with my father’s cooperation after I woke up from days of coma?”
Su Zhilan paused. “You mean… when I told you it was me who rescued you from the Los Angeles River?”
Hearing this, Ji Nuan, who didn’t know what they were talking about, turned her eyes to Su Zhilan in shock.
Mo Jingshen coldly withdrew his eyes from Su Zhilan’s face. “In keeping with my father’s selfish desire to keep me in the United States, you and he made up lies together and tried to make me marry you with the so-called kindness and family friendship.”
Mo Jingshen turned up the corners of his mouth and showed a mocking smile. “Since you dared to lie to me, you should be able to take the consequences. Since the Su family harbored ill intentions and happened to have something I wanted, I played this drama with you for two years. After all, you were used by your own grandfather. You shouldn’t spill the dirty water over me.”
Su Zhilan couldn’t accept what he said. Her hands trembled a lot harder. She wanted to say something but couldn’t force a single word out. She stared at the man with bloodshot eyes.
“Why are you so sure that I was lying? You were covered in blood and barely breathing, and I did drive you to the hospital! Jingshen, I know you have a prejudice against the Su family, but you can’t deny my…”
“Are you sure you want to continue this stupid lie?” Mo Jingshen’s cold voice rang. Because of his poor physical condition, his voice sounded very low.
Ji Nuan sat silently on the bed, really wanting to swear.
It was not important who on earth saved Mo Jingshen at that time. She didn’t take that matter seriously. What he and she had experienced together for so long didn’t just include that small matter.
But, how could Su Zhilan lie so brazenly? Perhaps she didn’t expect the one who really saved Mo Jingshen was sitting here and watching!
Mo Jingshen’s attitude was so cold and resolute that Su Zhilan couldn’t continue with that ‘explanation’ any longer.
She paused, looked into his eyes that were as deep as the sea, and gradually lowered her voice. “Jingshen, no matter what happened between us, I still used to be your fiancée… you can’t be so cruel to me…”
Mo Jingshen sneered. “I’m cruel indeed if I ever laid a hand on the Su family before you sent that wedding-dress doll to Ji Nuan.”
He was warning her that touching Ji Nuan would hit his bottom line.
He had already done ‘cruel’ things to the Su family, and he didn’t mind doing more. Even if he were called ‘cruel,’ he wouldn’t let the Su family off easily.
Su Zhilan couldn’t help snapping, “Miss Ji is no longer a child. Is she so delicate? It’s just a prank. What’s the big deal about those blades?”
She added, her eyes bloodshot, “Su Xueyi was just trying to defend me against an injustice! But you almost ruined her. It is a miracle that she is still alive! And to me, you strangled the Su family’s lifeblood, stopping the Su family from any possible development in business and had my grandfather lock me up! Mo Jingshen, was I by your side for two years and loved and waited for you for so many years in exchange for such treatment?”
Mo Jingshen closed his eyes; his pale face looking a bit impatient.
Noticing his look, Su Zhilan knew that he couldn’t hold on any longer. She paused and then softened her voice. “Jingshen, don’t be angry. Let me help you back to your ward. You’re still…”
With that, she reached out to help him.
“Mrs. Mo!” K suddenly winked at Ji Nuan.
Seeing Mo Jingshen evaded Su Zhilan’s hand minutely but the latter insisting on helping him, Ji Nuan pursed her lips, came up, and held his arm. He immediately leaned against her. Obviously, he couldn’t hold on any longer.
“How many times has the doctor said you should never get out of bed these days? Did you pull out the needle yourself? Didn’t you feel any pain?” Standing closest to Mo Jingshen, she couldn’t help muttering when he leaned against her, “What if your wound is inflamed? Aren’t you afraid that your wound will become inflamed over and over again, leading to infection and fever that will eventually burn you into a fool?”
K, who was standing behind: “…”
Was Mrs. Mo so haughty because of Mr. Mo’s indulgence? Shouldn’t she try to be gentler than Miss Su at such a time? How could she say those words to Mr. Mo?
Su Zhilan watched Mo Jingshen leaned against Ji Nuan defenselessly and suddenly turned her eyes to Ji Nuan. For a moment, Ji Nuan saw a resolute and resentful gleam flashed across Su Zhilan’s eyes, but obviously, she wasn’t the only one who noticed that.
Mo Jingshen frowned and said coldly, “K, send Miss Su back, and remind Elder Su not to go too far. After all, I’m not currently very tolerant.”
