Chapter 61 - A Trap

If Xu Yan only had a weakness, it was Mo Yu. She placed importance on everything Mo Yu said. She stepped carefully around Mo Yu because her standing in the Mo Family depended fully on her son.

Xu Yan looked at Mo Li with a bright smile but internally, she hated the girl deeply. What kind of sorcery the bitch has placed over my son that he would come to her defense? These two used to be like cats and dogs. I have not even done anything and the kid already jumped to the bitch's rescue, does he still remember that I'm his mother?!

"Don't worry, Li Li, our family is not lacking in anything. If you don't feel like going to school, then just skip it. It's not worth it to get your mood ruined because of those people." Hearing these familiar words, Mo Li realized how scheming this woman was. Even though she didn't explicitly tell Mo Li to drop out from school, she was basically encouraging Mo Li to stop working hard at her studies. She had her family to support her and in the future, her husband. If she couldn't find anyone to marry her, Mo Li still had her 3 older brothers. Therefore, Mo Li didn't need to work hard, after all, there were so many people waiting to do her bidding.

Disgusted by the implication, Mo Li yanked her hand out from Xu Yan's grasp. Mo Li turned to Old Madam Mo and said, "Grandma, I think I'm hungry already."

Hearing her sweetie say that, Old Madam Mo immediately called for the meal to be served. "Of course, of course. It's getting late already! We should be at the dining table!"

As Old Madam Mo led Mo Li to the dining table, Xu Yan's impression darkened immediately. It was gloomy. What's wrong with the bitch today? She used to hang onto my every word.

Has she really come to her senses? This is not good for me!

Xu Yan excused herself to the bathroom and pulled out her phone to make a call. After some time, finally someone answered. It was a middle-aged man's voice.

Xu Yan asked, "What is up with Mo Li recently?"

"Second Madam, I'm not sure either. I only know that she's been behaving herself. Other than bringing her to and from school, I haven't interacted with Miss Mo Li much." The man's voice was very low, as if deliberately avoiding detection.

"Then do you have a chance to get in touch with Mo Zheng? Did you continue to instill in him the idea that his life is over due to his accident?"

"Of course, I've already infiltrated the hospital. I even bribed his personal nurse. But I have not met him in person, I am worried that he might remember what happened that day.

"I have asked the doctor about this. When a person run into a trauma, their memory will be muddled, but if something triggers their memory, everything might clear up again. If Third Young Master remembers what happened that night, he will know that I have lied to him!" The voice on the other end of the phone was trembling, filled with fear.

Xu Yan comforted the man. "There's no need to panic. Even if he really remembers everything, you can insist that he was mistaken, after all, there is no surveillance footage.

"Furthermore, there is no sign of him remembering anything after so long. I doubt his memory will suddenly miraculously return.

"Plus, haven't you fed him that glass of water that night? The drug has proven effective so far.

"Worst comes to worst, you can insist that he only remembers it that way because you were the last person he saw... other than Mo Li of course."

Xu Yan's eyes filled with malice. Her goal was to turn Mo Li against her whole family. So that she would be the only one Mo Li could confide in. That way, she would have complete control over the stupid bitch!

Xu Yan was not worried about Mo Zheng. After he was told that his little sister had ruined his life, his mind was dominated by anger. He wouldn't have the time to think about anything else.

The man on the phone fell silent. After a long while, he said slowly, "Second madam... Why don't we let this issue end here?

"Master Mo and Madam Mo treat me very well. They even raised my salary because they appreciate how serious I am about my work. My heart breaks seeing the state that Mo Family is in now!"

Hearing that, Xu Yan's face turned sinister and cunning. "Have you forgotten who sent your daughter to the prestigious school. Also did you forget about the things she has done? They are more than enough to send her to jail.

"If you wish to ruin your daughter's future, then by all means, go ahead.

"But think about it. How long will a beautiful girl like her going to last in prison?"

The man was silent faced with such a blatant threat. He regretted intensely for having fallen into this woman's trap.

Xu Yan scoffed.
