67 Yousre Worse Than a Dog (2/2)
Ye Xiaotian eased into a comfortable position and began fiddling with the lighter in his hand as he spoke, ”This is what happens every time I catch her trying to escape. There'll only be the case where I dump someone, never the other way round. She ought to be punished if she forgets.”
He glanced towards a servant and instructed, ”Collect the blood in a container and give it to Ranran.”
”Yes, Sir.”
Only after the living room had been tidied up and sprayed with some air freshener did Gu Beicheng finally feel alright about taking a seat. ”There are so many people in this world who share the same blood group, why does it have to be her?” he asked. ”She's not going to make it past another few years, if this goes on.”
”She's just a woman. If she kicks the bucket, so be it. It doesn't matter to me anyway,” Ye Xiaotian answered nonchalantly, though Gu Beicheng knew full well that the former actually cares about Mo Li deep down.
Mo Li woke up to their conversation, only to hear what Ye Xiaotian had said before she even opened her eyes. Tears began to stream down her face. She felt hurt and upset even though she had long given up on him.
She had set her mind to spend each waking moment planning her escape from him, for as long as she was alive. She was all bent on leaving the monster that was Ye Xiaotian and never appear in front of him again, ever. Never again.
Ye Xiaotian then went out together with Gu Beicheng after instructing the servants to look after her and give him a call when she comes to.
Mo Li woke up as soon as he left and removed the needle from the back of her hand. She pressed onto the needle hole and hurriedly made her way back to the room.
In the shower, Mo Li stared blankly at the spot on her arm which was bruised from the blood-drawing, seemingly already numb and used to it.
After blow-drying her hair, she intentionally caked on a layer of makeup on her face. Despite looking slightly better than before, she was still unable to conceal the paleness of her face.
As she carried her bag and prepared to leave, the servant reminded, ”Please come home quickly.”
Mo Li retorted coldly, ”You're indeed starting to resemble a dog, after having stayed with one for so long.”
”You're no different from us, Ms. Mo. In fact, you're worse than a dog.”
Mo Li headed out with a stiff face and a heavy heart. The servant was right. In the eyes of Ye Xiaotian, she was indeed worth less than a dog.
She returned to the home of the Long's.
Mo Li's mother was thrilled at the sight of her return and said, ”Tianze had asked me repeatedly why you didn't answer your phone.”
”Is he at home now?”
”Yes, I'll go get him,” answered Mrs. Mo. However, she was stopped by Mo Li. ”Mom, I'll go look for him myself later. I actually came here because I have something to tell you. Mom, I'd like to go somewhere very far away. Thus, I might not be able to see you for a long time.”
”What do you mean? Mo Li, why do you look so pale, what happened?” asked a worried Mrs. Mo as she looked at her daughter.
”Nothing, Mom, it's just… I'd like to escape to somewhere far, far away, but he won't let go of me.”
”But you're at home right now, can he still take you away forcefully?” said Mrs. Mo. She felt as if a million daggers had pierced her heart upon hearing Mo Li's words.
”Mom…” After taking a deep breath, Mo Li continued, ”He can. So don't worry if I don't come back again in the future, I'll come back to visit you one day. Rest assured.”
”Li-Li…” cried a teary-eyed Mrs. Mo as she held onto Mo Li's hand.
”I'll go look for Tianze,” said Mo Li while turning away from her mother. She could not bear the sight of the latter being upset.
Long Tianze was startled at the paleness of her face, the moment he saw her. He asked in shock, ”Are you on drugs?”
”No. Tianze, please take care of my family while I'm away,” requested Mo Li while sitting down beside him.
”What do you mean? Where are you going?”
”I'd like to escape, to a place so far away he will never find me, and find a man more powerful than him. Tianze, I don't have another choice.”
