Chapter 228 - Complain

At this moment, Mo Lai was in a sorry state and furious. He had been the most respected young master of the Mo Family since he was born, and his grandfather treated him as his most beloved grandson. When had he ever suffered such resentment? “B*tch! You’re courting death!”

Mo Lai roared angrily, his eyes filled with vicious hatred. He got up from the ground and raised his fist to swing at Qin Ran.

Mo Lai thought that no matter what, he was a tall man. With this punch, Qin Ran would definitely kneel on the ground and beg him for mercy. At that time, he would tell his grandfather about this woman plotting against him and let his grandfather teach her and Mo Chi a lesson!

Before Mo Lai’s fist could land on Qin Ran, Qin Ran’s fingers moved slightly. A pearl flicked out from her hand and ruthlessly hit Mo Lai’s mouth. Mo Lai’s mouth immediately swelled up.

Mo Lai screamed. At the same time, Mo Chi, who was standing beside Qin Ran, raised his hand and grabbed Mo Lai’s wrist. He was terrifyingly strong. Mo Lai’s bones were about to break. His legs were trembling from the pain.

“Mo Lai, it’s fine if you’re usually rude and unreasonable, but Qin Ran is your sister-in-law. How could you attack her? How dare you!” Mo Chi’s eyes were cold as he continued to tighten his grip. At this moment, Mo Lai was almost wailing like a ghost.

“You bastard, let go of me!” When Mo Lai spoke, he felt that his mouth was sticky. He reached out and touched it. Instantly, his palm was covered in blood. He was so frightened that he almost fainted. “Blood, I’m bleeding! B*tch, how dare you hit me? I’ll f*cking kill you!”

Mo Lai’s appearance of losing a tooth was extremely laughable. Qin Ran’s smile became even more brilliant. She looked at Mo Lai and said, “Please be polite to me. I’m Mo Chi’s legal wife, your sister-in-law. You actually want to hit an elder? Then I’m afraid you have to ask if the Mo family’s laws agree. Also, it was clearly you who wanted to hit me just now. Everyone saw it. Did you bite your lips when you spoke too viciously? How could you blame me?”

Mo Lai covered his mouth. The pain was so intense that he almost wanted to kill someone. He glared at Qin Ran, but he immediately felt a cold gaze on him. He turned his head and Mo Chi was looking at him gloomily. “Mo Lai, who are you going to kill?”

Mo Chi usually had a cold attitude towards his family. Perhaps it was because he didn’t want to trouble his grandfather, so even if he had any conflicts with his second uncle’s family, he wouldn’t make things too ugly on the surface.

However, Mo Chi’s tolerance and accommodation made Mo Lai think that Mo Chi did not dare to go against him. After all, Mo Chi was only an illegitimate son. He could only tuck his tail between his legs in the Mo Family, so he had never taken Mo Chi seriously.

However, at this moment, the gaze of the man in front of him was too terrifying, like a messenger from hell. Mo Lai could not help but feel a sense of fear in his heart. He even wanted to turn around and escape.

Qin Ran also noticed the powerful and terrifying aura on Mo Chi’s body. It was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess. It was more like a hunter who had walked out from slaughter and blood. It could bring about fear and pressure.

Mo Lai glared at the two of them and reluctantly said, “Just you wait.” Then, he quickly turned around and left.

Qin Ran crossed her arms and looked at Mo Lai’s figure. “Did he go to complain?”

Mo Chi hugged Qin Ran and patted her head. “Don’t worry, I’ll settle it. We’ve traveled for a long time, let’s go eat something first.”

Not long after, the two of them sat at the stone table in the courtyard. The servants brought up a fresh fruit platter for the season. Mo Chi fed a piece of kumquat to Qin Ran. Qin Ran leaned against Mo Chi’s arm and narrowed her eyes lazily.

However, the quiet beauty did not last long. A woman dressed in jewelry rushed in from outside the door. “Dad, you have to seek justice for our Mo Lai. Mo Chi actually bullied his brother for a woman. Look at the wound on Mo Lai’s mouth. It’s too much!” The woman pinched her throat and cried. She sounded aggrieved and sad. Old Master Mo appeared behind the woman.

Old Master Mo walked in and saw that Mo Chi and Qin Ran were both there. He coughed and asked solemnly, “What’s going on? Why is Mo Lai injured?”

Just as Mo Chi was about to speak, Qin Ran walked to Old Master Mo’s side with a smile. She held Old Master Mo’s arm and said obediently, “Perhaps Mo Lai accidentally bit his mouth when he was scolding me?”

“Bullshit!” Mo Lai, who was hiding behind his mother, Wu Chun, looked at Qin Ran angrily. He pointed at Qin Ran’s nose and said angrily, “You were the one who hit me!”
