Chapter 594: up to no good

MO GUANG LIN wasn't sure why that was the first thing he thought the moment he saw the young man.  His brain was still trying to piece the reasoning why he suddenly had that thought.  It took a few seconds before he finally pieced it all together.  It's quite easy once he found the most vital piece of information – that all of this started after the incident between Mo Jian and Yu Jiao.

Logically speaking, a family like the Luo family that's already at the top of S City's upper society, there's no need for them to get involved between the disagreement of two teenage girls.  But they did.  And Mo Guang Lin easily figured out the reason why. 

Because Yu Jiao happened to befriend the second young master of the Luo family. 

That young master probably heard of what happened to Yu Jiao yesterday and so, to give justice to his friend, he asked his older brother to do something.  And this situation was the result of that.  It was quite obvious, seeing how that article was solely targeting Mo Jian.

It was the same as last time when Mo Jian and Yu Jiao also had a disagreement.  This eldest young master of the Luo family also interfered in that matter. 

Realizing the truth of the matter, anger surged in him.  He couldn't understand why an outsider like him would stick his nose on this matter.  No, maybe he could understand in a way.  If Mo Jian requested him to do the same thing, he might have also done the same. 

But even if he could understand, that didn't mean that he could just accept it. 

"Young Master Luo, what a coincidence seeing you here," he said in a cold tone.  "Or was it?"

Luo Ren was not really that surprised suddenly meeting Mo Guang Lin here.  After all, that Mo girl was also confined in this hospital.  Truthfully, he wanted to transfer Yu Jiao to another hospital.  But that would be overstepping his boundary as her friend's brother. 

He really didn't want for Yu Jiao and her mother to get suspicious of him.  Especially the mother.  If she labeled him as someone too 'dangerous' for her daughter, then he might not even get a chance to be closer to Yu Jiao.  Heck, maybe even talking to him would be even harder.

He had the advantage of being Luo Yan's brother.  But even that advantage could be negligible in face of a concerned mother.  Especially to someone like Yu Jiao who obviously regarded her mother as the most important person in her life.

That's why Luo Ren decided to not go overboard with his affection.  To remain only as the big brother of her friend.  Someone who she also could count on if things got tough.  He was satisfied to only be a big brother figure to her.  At least, for now.

He wasn't exactly the most patient man.  But he was willing to take his time and wait.  Wait at least until Yu Jiao graduated from high school.  By that time, even if he showed his intention, no problems would arise from it. 

Like people pointing their fingers at him as if he's some kind of pedophile because Yu Jiao was not yet of legal age.  No matter if he acted on his thoughts or not, those people would still indiscriminately label him as such.  It would be fine if it was just him who would be affected.  But obviously, that wouldn't be the case.

Yu Jiao, as his 'victim', would be affected even more.  Simply because people's hypocrisy knew no bounds.  They might act like they pity Yu Jiao for being the 'victim', but behind her back, they would mock her and probably even think deep inside that it was her fault for 'seducing' him.

So, to avoid any of that from happening, it's better to just wait for the right time.  And he's more than willing to do that.  Because Yu Jiao was worth the wait.

Luo Ren nodded at Mo Guang Lin.  There's no need to act all polite.  After all, the other was no longer Yu Jiao's stepfather.  Or at least, he would soon not be.  Besides, with how the other handled things in regards to his daughter, did he really deserve his respect?  The answer was a resounding 'no'.

Mo Guang Lin quickly noticed that the young man's attitude was much colder compared to the last time they met.  It only made him even angrier.  Because shouldn't he be the one giving him the cold shoulders?  Especially after pulling something like this that could easily destroy his daughter's reputation?

He scoffed, also taking off any mask of politeness.  "Are you here to accompany your brother to visit Yu Jiao?  Heh… the eldest young master of the Luo family must really treasure his brother," he said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.  "Even going as far as helping him destroy someone's reputation.  What a beautiful brotherly love."

How could Luo Ren not understand the meaning behind what the other said?  Seriously, it almost made him want to laugh.

"It's not brotherly love.  It's an act of justice.  Because whatever's happening and will happen to your daughter, she rightfully deserves," he said with a smile on his face.  "And the pain and guilt you will feel for that, you also deserve.  Because you're the one who made her that way.  Really, what a 'perfect' pair of father and daughter you two are."

After he said that, he didn't wait for the other's reply and just walked past him.

Meanwhile, the other two Luo brothers were walking on the street near the university where their older brother graduated this year. 

"Yan, where exactly are we going?" Luo Jin asked for nth time.

After they ate breakfast, this brother of his just pulled him out of the house, telling him to accompany him to some place.  Not even giving him any explanation.

Luo Yan did not answer and just stopped in front of trendy café.  "Let's go inside."

Luo Jin sighed and had no choice but to follow Luo Yan.  He saw his brother turning his head from left to right as if looking for something.  Then the other stopped and his gaze stayed at a certain direction.  Luo Yan suddenly grinned.  And he just knew that his brother was up to no good.
