Chapter 42 - Losing Face

Xiao Yue heard the host and saw how he smiled placatingly at the man. Xiao Yue couldn't stop the words from tumbling out, "Wait, you mean he's the famed walking dead?" Once she said that, something struck Xiao Yue and she immediately held her hands over her mouth.

Quan Yu sauntered to stand before Xiao Yue. He began slowly, "What did you call me earlier?"

Xiao Yue was like a woman who had her vocal cords removed. Her face was as pale as chalk. She was not expecting to run into this man at this place! She already heard from her father that a big character had arrived at Pearl River City recently. If she could befriend him, their Xiao Family would have a great future.

"I, I… No… didn't mean… How…"

Quan Yu pulled Mo Li to his side and said proprietorially, "This lady was not wrong. She has saved my life but you have instead decided to turn that good deed into something dirty. It is really as what they say, those with a dirty mind will only think of dirty things."

Mo Li resisted the urge to shake the man's paws loose from her arms. Since Xiao Yue had dug her own grave, Mo Li decided to just keep her mouth shut and watch the girl slowly bury herself.

The other guests who were pointing fingers at Mo Li earlier instantly changed their tone. They turned to point behind Xiao Yue and whispered, "Xiao Family's young miss sure is two-faced. How could she try to ruin her own sister's name without even asking for an explanation? She has such a venomous heart."

"But if you ask me, this young miss from Mo Family isn't a good person either. Haven't you heard? She was the one who drove into her own big brother."

"But I heard the investigation into that case is still ongoing. The actual culprit hasn't been decided yet."

"I suppose so. Eventually the truth will come out. But this young miss from Xiao Family dares to call Master Quan a savage swine and a living dead, tut tut, she is going to have it in for her this time."

Quan Yu looked at the frozen statue in his arms. This girl is quite interesting. She manages to make a convincing argument for herself earlier. That is a sign of quick-thinking and great intellect. She might look harmless and innocent but she is not someone to be crossed. It should be quite an adventure to get to know her better, but before that… Quan Yu waved his hands behind him several times and two security guards walked in.

"Please escort this lady out of the premise lest she pollute the eyes of my life savior." Hearing that, Mo Li's eyes couldn't help but twitch. That sounds so much like the words of the CEO type from those fluffy romance ReadNovelFulls.

The two guards in black stormed forward and picked up Xiao Yue, one on each of her arm. The other guests watched the proceeding from the side, they were curious how this was going to develop, it was like watching a live drama. As she was lifted off the ground, Xiao Yue's watery eyes filled with tears. "Master, Master Quan… I really didn't know it was you. As the saying goes, blame not the ignorant. At the end of the day, I am Mo Family's family friend, in fact I am Mo Li's big sister!" Xiao Yue looked at Quan Yu pleadingly. "Can you not find it in your heart to forgive me this one time?"

A cruel smile appeared on Quan Yu's lips. His voice was like a call from hell, "Earlier, when you called me a savage swine, a living dead and tried to ruin Mo Li's name, has it crossed your mind that she is, as you said, your little sister?"

Xiao Yue's body shivered uncontrollably under the scrutiny of that chilly gaze. She then bit on her lips and lowered her eyes. She didn't expect the stupid woman to be so lucky, to have saved Quan Yu when his sickness was acting up.

Mo Yi and Mo Yun were equally shocked. So Mo Li was telling the truth? Mo Li has saved Master Quan? But when did Mo Li learn first aid?

Seeing as the show was supposed to draw to a close, Mo Li yanked herself out from Quan Yu's grasp. She then pulled on his sleeve and said, "Master Quan, after all, she is Mo Family's family friend and she is my big sister. If you haul her out like that, it will only ruin our Mo Family's reputation by extension."
