Chapter 234 - Complaint

Wu Chun wiped her tears and walked in. She barely bowed to Mo Quan and Mo Hong. “Dad, Second Uncle, I’m sorry for being late.”

When Mo Hong saw that Wu Chun’s eyes were red and filled with tears, he couldn’t help but ask, “Niece-in-law, what’s wrong with you? Who bullied you? Is that brat Mo Huai fooling around outside again? I’m here today. Tell me, I’ll seek justice for you.”

After Mo Hong finished speaking, Qin Ran added with a smile, “That’s right, Second Aunt. Today is a good opportunity for you to complain. If Second Uncle does anything to let you down, just say it. We will all stand on your side.” Her tone sounded like she was really concerned about Wu Chun.

Mo Huai and Wu Chun’s expressions immediately turned ugly. This wasn’t what they wanted to talk about at all! Wu Chun glared fiercely at Mo Huai. Wasn’t it all because he was always fooling around? Now, she was embarrassed!

Qin Ran and Mo Chi exchanged a look. Both of them knew that Wu Chun was definitely up to something. It might be related to Mo Lai.

Wu Chun took a deep breath and reluctantly shook her head. “No, Second Uncle. It’s because Mo Lai… Sigh, forget it. I’ll stop talking.”

When Mo Hong heard this, he was about to let Wu Chun continue when Qin Ran said with a sweet smile, “Since Second Aunt is unwilling to say it, why don’t we eat first? The food will be cold later.”

Wu Chun was just putting on an act. Her goal was to make Mo Hong ask about Mo Lai. This way, it wouldn’t be considered as her taking the initiative to complain. In the future, even if the old man wanted to blame her, he wouldn’t be able to do anything. However, she didn’t expect that Qin Ran, this b*tch, would actually interrupt her plan!

Wu Chun was afraid that she wouldn’t have the chance to say it after dinner, so she could only bite the bullet and say, “It’s not a big deal. Sigh, Mo Lai is a child in his adolescence. When his sister-in-law came back, he said a few teasing words. In the end, his sister-in-law actually made Mo Lai kneel outside for three days. Mo Lai is also an honest person. He knelt down just like that. Look, his dinner was sent over by the servant.”

After Wu Chun finished speaking, she wiped her tears and looked at Qin Ran timidly, as if Qin Ran was a terrifying tigress.

Mo Huai also chimed in, “Second Uncle, it’s not that Mo Lai doesn’t want to see you. There’s really no choice. Second Uncle, don’t blame Mo Lai.”

When Mo Hong heard Wu Chun and Mo Huai’s words, he immediately frowned.

After all, Mo Lai was a member of the Mo Family and Mo Hong had watched him grow up. No matter what, Qin Ran was an outsider. Now that Qin Ran had just married into the Mo Family, Mo Hong naturally felt that it was very inappropriate for her to punish Mo Lai so severely. His good impression of Qin Ran instantly decreased by more than half, and his gaze towards Qin Ran became a little colder.

Mo Hong looked at Qin Ran and said in a serious tone, “Is that so? Qin Ran, we’re all family. If there’s any misunderstanding or conflict, can’t you just explain it clearly? Why do you have to use such a harsh and cruel method to punish a child? You’re going to be in charge of the Mo Family in the future. You can’t be so petty.”

Mo Hong didn’t know what overboard things Mo Lai had said to Qin Ran previously. After hearing Wu Chun’s half-truths, he naturally stood on Mo Lai’s side.

As soon as Mo Hong finished speaking, Wu Chun hurriedly looked at Mo Hong gratefully as tears fell. “Second Uncle, you still dote on Mo Lai. I think so too. We’re all family. Isn’t it good to be harmonious? Mo Lai is still a child, and boys want face. If he kneels outside for three days, the servants will laugh at him if they see him. How is this appropriate?”

Mo Huai added as if he was doing a crosstalk, “That’s right, is this appropriate?!”

Qin Ran watched Wu Chun and Mo Huai’s exciting performance. From beginning to end, she didn’t say a word and listened expressionlessly. When Mo Hong finished speaking, she smiled faintly. “Second Uncle, you’re right. Since Second Uncle has spoken, I won’t let Mo Lai kneel.”

Wu Chun’s eyes immediately lit up. She looked at Qin Ran proudly and couldn’t stop smiling. She thought that he was a ruthless character, but in the end, she still had to obediently admit her mistake. If she didn’t teach her a lesson, she would probably really think that she had the final say in the Mo Family!

Mo Quan looked at Qin Ran in shock. He originally wanted to explain on Qin Ran’s behalf. Although that would inevitably cause him to be mocked by Mo Hong, he was the one who made the decision to let Mo Lai kneel outside. How could he let his granddaughter-in-law take the blame for him?
