Mo Xiaojing took a sip of coffee and looked up at Mo Jialong. "Everyone outside is saying that Chen Mo and I are a couple. You spread this, didn't you?"
Mo Jialong was startled, then smiled awkwardly.
He knew that if Mo Xiaojing brought this up, she must have found some evidence, otherwise she wouldn't have summoned him.
"Sister, I thought you two were in love, so I wanted to bring you together," Mo Jialong explained.
"But I also heard that you brought people to cause trouble for Chen Mo a couple of days ago."
"That was all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
"Is that so? The day after this news spread, Ouyang Fuhua appeared in Chen Mo's clinic. Today, the scene where they were at loggerheads, you must have been the happiest person, right?" Mo Xiaojing asked again.
Mo Jialong looked astonished. "Sister, you, how did you know?"
Mo Xiaojing smiled faintly, offering no explanation.
As soon as Chen Mo cured her grandfather's illness, Mo Xiaojing had sent people to monitor Chen Mo's every move.
These things, she naturally knew.
"Chen Mo is a benefactor to our Mo family. So, put away your little tricks. If I find out you're doing anything against Chen Mo again, beware that I won't spare our sibling bond," Mo Xiaojing said coldly, casting a glance at Mo Jialong.
"Sister, I'm your own brother! Am I not as important as Chen Mo?!" Mo Jialong said with dissatisfaction.
He would never forget the day Chen Mo slapped him in public.
"Precisely because you are my brother, I will not allow you to offend someone who can save our Mo family!"
"Him?" Mo Jialong scoffed.
"Sister, it wasn't him who cured Grandpa. The rumors are that the hospital cured him, and Chen Mo just happened to discover it."
Mo Xiaojing asked, "Do you believe those words? Does Grandpa not know about his illness? Or do I not know? Or does Father not know?"
"Father also told me to tell you not to offend Chen Mo, otherwise Father will deal with you when he returns."
Mo Jialong stared at Mo Xiaojing with confusion.
Mo Xiaojing frowned. "What are you looking at?"
"Sister, you haven't really fallen for that poor doctor, have you?" Mo Jialong asked, somewhat surprised.
Mo Xiaojing's face instantly turned red. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Sister, your face is red. I've never seen you like this before."
"Damn it, what's so good about that guy that he could make my sister fall for him!"
Mo Jialong looked resentful.
"Go to bed. You annoy me when I see you," Mo Xiaojing said with a low scold.
Mo Jialong could only leave Mo Xiaojing's study with dissatisfaction.
Seeing Mo Jialong leave, Mo Xiaojing took out the mirror on the table, looked at her flushed cheeks, and murmured, "Could it be that I've really fallen for him?"
The next morning.
Chen Mo was woken up early by the Old Ancestor to practice.
After taking a shower, he returned to the villa for breakfast.
"Brother-in-law, you're a celebrity in Longhua now," Chen Mo said as soon as he sat down, and Mo Jialong couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up.
"Can't you keep your mouth shut even while eating?" Mo Xiaojing glared at him.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo asked.
Mo Jialong glanced at Mo Xiaojing and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, you don't know, last night, over two thousand people in Longhua were looking for you!"
"Looking for me?" Chen Mo was startled.
"Yes."
"Who's looking for me?" Chen Mo asked.
"Do I even need to ask? It must be Xue Yongcheng. He's even put out word that anyone who finds you will be rewarded with a million yuan! And he'll grant them one wish!" Mo Jialong held up a finger.
Chen Mo was taken aback.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaojing comforted Chen Mo, "It's alright, don't worry. As long as you are with the Mo family, no one will dare to trouble you. The Mo family will protect you."
"Thank you, Miss Mo," Chen Mo said gratefully.
However, Chen Mo fell into silence.
He was now extremely worried about Tian Mengyao's situation, and also about Du Huili and her daughter's situation.
With such a high bounty, he was unsure what those people who only cared about money would do.
After breakfast, Mo Xiaojing and Mo Jialong left the villa. Since Mo Xiaojing's parents had signed a contract with Qin Yuyan's company, they had taken the elder to a resort for a vacation. Many matters in the company had to be handled by her.
After seeing Mo Xiaojing and Mo Jialong leave, Chen Mo also left the Mo family villa.
He had decided to confront Tian Mengyao's parents.
He couldn't just stand by and watch Tian Mengyao be pushed into a fiery pit by her parents.
He hailed a taxi and went directly to Tian Mengyao's villa area.
He knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened, and a woman who looked very haggard, with red eyes and a fresh slap mark on her face, appeared before him.
Seeing the haggard figure before him, Chen Mo's expression froze, and he looked astonished.
"Mengyao." Chen Mo called out.
The woman before him trembled, and quickly raised her head.
When she saw Chen Mo, her eyes were filled with surprise.
"Chen Mo, why are you here?"
"Mengyao, don't worry, I won't let your parents send you to Xue Yang's house," Chen Mo said with determination.
Tian Mengyao nervously pushed Chen Mo forward. "Hurry and leave, Chen Mo. Do you know that so many people are looking for you right now? Hurry and leave, go into hiding."
Seeing Tian Mengyao's haggard appearance, Chen Mo stepped forward and pulled Tian Mengyao into his arms.
"Mengyao, I won't let anyone hurt you." Chen Mo had also decided that if necessary, he would contact his eldest sister.
"Mengyao, who is it?"
At this moment, Mu Ziying's voice sounded from inside the villa.
However, as soon as Mu Ziying saw Chen Mo embracing Tian Mengyao at the door, she was startled and shouted into the house, "Lao Tian, Lao Tian! Chen Mo, Chen Mo is at our doorstep!"
Hearing the voice, Tian Xiaoguang also hurried out.
Mu Ziying quickly walked to the door, grabbed Tian Mengyao, and glared at Chen Mo angrily.
"You little brat, how dare you come to our house! Don't you think you've already harmed our family enough?!" Mu Ziying pointed at Chen Mo and questioned him.
A young woman sitting on the sofa in the living room also walked out. She bore some resemblance to Tian Mengyao.
"Dad, Mom, is this that Chen Mo?" the woman asked, pointing at Chen Mo.
"Yes, it's him!" Mu Ziying nodded indignantly.
The woman immediately became angry. "You dare to come to our house? Do you know that because of you, I've been suspended from my job! You're not leaving today. I'll notify President Xue and the others right now!"
Saying that, the woman took out her phone.
"Sister, no." Tian Mengyao tried to step forward and stop her.
However, she was pushed away by the woman, and the call was already dialed.
