Chapter 54: Proud

Mo Li is rather different today… She doesn’t have the same usual heavy make-up. Instead she has just enough eyeliner. Instead of the red lips, she opted instead for cream lips.

The eye shadows don’t make her look like a raccoon… They are just small pink touches around her eyes… Or she has been crying? Because of me?

Even her gaze is different. Her pupils don’t dart around anymore. Her eyes glow. She doesn’t look as angry and indignant as usual. I can’t even sense the typical derision in her eyes whenever she looks at me.

Huh, Mo Li is quite pretty when she doesn’t sneer at me.

Mo Yu thought back to the times Mo Li used to shout at him in exasperation. “I am your little sister, so of course you have to give in to me.” But now, Mo Li was looking at him as if he was a stranger.

Mo Yu’s heart quivered being stared like that, and his fingers twitched involuntarily. His throat felt itchy and there was a strange feeling in his heart.

Mo Li noted the empty space on the bench so she sat down and said, “So tell me, what trouble did you get into this time?”

Hearing that familiar voice, Mo Yu sighed in relief. He put away the strange feeling in his heart. He looked at Mo Li and hooked his lips into a sneer, “What’s the point of me telling you? How can you help me?”

Mo Li tutted with annoyance. She felt like a mother, dealing with a naughty child. Mo Li blinked and then whipped the cane on the ground. It snapped loudly. “Well, are you going to tell me or not?”

Mo Yu’s heart quivered when the whip echoed inside the small room.

What the… Has Mo Li lost her mind? Is she really going to whip me?!?“What, what are you doing? We’re at the police station! I’ll get the officers to arrest you!”

At the same time, rowdy noises came from outside the room. “Please remember that this is the police station. If you continue to act like this, I’ll have to arrest you!”

“Arrest me if you dare! See if Lin Family will take revenge on you or not!”

“Young Master…”

Then the door to Mo Yu’s detention room was kicked open. A young man about Mo Yu’s age charged in. He began with a taunt, “Mo Yu, you can’t win me in a fight so you have to go tattle to the adults? You plan to have your brothers to come win your battles? But I think you’ve forgotten that you are nothing but trash in the eyes of Mo Family! Do you really think they will come help you?!”

Mo Yu instantly jumped up from the bench. “Do you want to fucking die?!”

“Ha ha, come and hit me if you dare! Swing here please!” Lin Mu gloated at Mo Yu. He titled his chin up high and an arrogant smile hung on his face.

Snap! The cane in Mo Li’s grasp arced beautifully through the air. She hit the space right between Lin Mu’s feet. This sudden attack frightened him so much that Lin Mu started and jumped backwards.

“What the hell?”

The arrogance look on Lin Mu’s face disappeared instantly. His face paled and looked at Mo Li with terror.

When Mo Yu saw this, he let out a huge laugh. Suddenly, his chest didn’t feel as congested as before.

“Who the tell are you?” Lin Mu held the door handle for support. He was surprised to see that his attacker was a girl. He instantly glared fiendishly at Mo Li. The girl looked very familiar to him but he couldn’t place her at that moment.

“I’m Mo Li, his sister.”

Mo Yu’s lips opened but this time he didn’t say anything.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he said with surprise, “Did you say Mo Li? Wow, Mo Yu, I have no idea your little sister is so pretty. Unfortunately she has an ugly personality, no wonder she has no suitors.”

Mo Li gave the kid a once-over. She was instantly reminded of the research students she had to supervise in her past life. They all needed to be whipped into shape before she could work with them. Her eyes darkened and a cold gaze penetrated Lin Mu. Her gaze was a warning that one shouldn’t test her. She didn’t say anything but her gaze was words enough.

Lin Mu fell obediently silent and he didn’t even dare to meet Mo Li’s eyes.

“Let us go.” Mo Li told Mo Yu. Mo Yu was puzzled.?Since when did Mo Li become so imposing?

Lin Mu didn’t say anything when Mo Li passed. But as Mo Yu walked by, the two young men glared at each other with rancor. However, the moment Mo Li turned back to look at them, they were obedient little children again.

With the help from the police, Mo Li completed the files to lead Mo Yu away. To be honest, underage teen was not allowed to bail people out from detention, but this was the Mo Family!

Lin Mu looked at Mo Li go through all the procedures and he couldn’t help but put in a little jab. “The Mo Family sure is petty. They can’t even afford a secretary that Miss Mo has to personally handle everything. But for me, my dad has sent an assistant to handle everything.”

Mo Yu was about to say something when Mo Li cut him off, “The fact that none of your family member cares about you enough to come bail you out from detention in person, but instead sent a hired help is something to be proud of?”

Lin Mu’s expression froze. His tongue got tied and he didn’t know how to counter.
