Chapter 81 - Extraordinary

Mo Yu found it hard to sit still any longer. Didn't they say they will come in the morning? Why aren't they here yet?

He stole a look at Mo Li. For a moment, he felt like he couldn't recognize her anymore. Honestly, Mo Yu had not really sat down to study Mo Li before.

He only then realized his cousin was quite a beauty, she had inherited all the good qualities from the Mo Family gene pool.

Mo Yu had a feeling that Mo Li had changed drastically from before. Her mannerism had changed and that altered her appearance too.

Ding Dong...

The guests were Father Lin and Lin Mu. Elder Mo sighed in relief when he saw Lin Yang. Elder Mo basically saw Lin Yang grow up from a little boy to having a son the same age as his own granddaughter.

"Elder Mo, Old Madam Mo." Lin Yang greeted the two elders politely as he entered the house before his eyes fell on Mo Li.

Mo Yu instantly sat down beside Mo Li. He looked at Lin Yang and Lin Mu behind his father with alertness, afraid that they might do something bad to Mo Li.

Elder Mo glanced at the brat. Normally, Mo Yu would be mocking people by now, why was he being so obedient today?

Mo Yu's temper had always been unruly but at this moment, he sat patiently beside Mo Li. He was even... a bit resigned.

Seeing the guests, Mo Li instantly stood up. She put away the tablet and greeted the guests politely. "Mr. Lin." Mo Li said, her tone was not hostile but it wasn't warm either.

Lin Yang studied Mo Li closely. The girl was not as recalcitrant and as willful as the rumors said. On top of that, Mo Li looked so much like her mother.

Lin Mu hid behind his father to steal a look at Mo Li. He thought she looked even prettier than that day. Perhaps it was because she just woke up. Her lips were like rose petals. They were red and full. They looked soft too. It was like she had put on lipsticks.

Lin Yang frowned slightly when he realized the girl was not afraid of him at all. What's this? Normally people will shiver in my presence.

Mo Li even had the ease to make a joke with him. Mo Li waved at the chair. "Mr. Lin, please don't stand there. You're making it look like we're making you stand there for punishment."

Lin Yang laughed twice before he led Lin Mu over and sat down. Mo Li returned to her seat after he did as a deference to Father Lin.

Old Madam Mo instantly came to serve their guests. She had prepared avocado smoothie. Mo Li picked up her glass, took a sip and smiled appreciatively at her grandmother.

Then Mo Li turned back to the guests. No wonder Lin Mu can be so arrogant. His father is incredibly tall and tan. He doesn't look like a military general but more like a mafia boss. Even though he is in a suit, he doesn't exude that businessman propriety. That stern look on his face is also very imposing.

Mo Li met Lin Yang's eyes. She had to admit that Lin Mu did have his father's good looks.

"Mr. Lin, are you here to take revenge for Lin Mu?" Mo Li started the question.

"I'm just here for an explanation. My son is beaten up at Mo Family, so what do you have to say to that?"

"It was Lin Family who provoked and beat up Mo Yu first, so how do you plan to explain that?" Mo Li countered easily.

Lin Mu was the one who started the fight? Lin Yang was honestly not surprised. He knew his son very well. "That absolves you for injuring my son? I don't think so."

Actually Lin Mu didn't want his father to come find Mo Li. But his grandfather had threatened them with a hunger strike... so they had no choice but to do this.

"Why not? I was merely giving him a taste of his own medicine. He beat up Mo Yu so I had to teach Lin Mu a lesson." Mo Li turned to Lin Mu when she said that. The latter's face burned with shame immediately.

Mo Li's argument was simple. This whole incident started with the provocation from Lin Mu, so the onus of blame felt on Lin Mu and not Mo Family.

Lin Yang was confused. Didn't they say this Mo Li is incredibly dense? When Lin Yang heard that rumor, he was already suspicious. He refused to believe someone like Mo Yi would raise an impolite and dumb daughter.

As Lin Yang debated with Mo Li, he realized the girl was incredibly clever and rational, it was very much unlike how she was rumored to be.
