733 A Million Times for You 95 (1/2)

Mo Li opened the door abruptly and stood rooted to the ground with an austere expression on her face.

Turning as pale as a sheet, Mo Xun hurriedly said, ”Sis, don't listen to her nonsense. This is our home, you may live here for as long as you'd like. I'm here to protect you. If she dares speak callously again, I'll divorce her!”

”Mo Xun! Let's get divorced!”

Suppressing her anger, Mo Li entered the room and interrupted their argument. ”Is there a need for that? Sister-in-law, you may just tell me straight to my face that you don't wish for me to live here. You don't have to put Mo Xun in a spot and make things difficult for him because of this. Mo Xun definitely wouldn't chase me out of his house, I'm still his biological sister at the end of the day. Don't argue because of me. I'll move to my parents' place later. It's not like I don't have anywhere to go.”

”Sis…” Mo Xun glowered at his wife before comforting Mo Li, ”Just relax and live here at my place peacefully. I call the shots here. No one will dare to chase you out.”

”I don't want to put you in a spot. Neither Sister-in-law nor I will be happy if I continue living here. Forget it.” Mo Li then turned around to grab her luggage.

Not wanting to let her leave, Mo Xun tried to stop her from taking her luggage. At last, Mo Li added, ”Mo Xun, I have nothing to my name now. I didn't ask for a single cent from Ye Xiaotian. It's not because I'm high and mighty or prideful. I just don't want him to be at peace just because he's giving me money. All that I have left is my pride and dignity.”

Mo Xun let go and said, ”Well then… Sis, I'll bring it over for you.”

”Alright.”

Mo Li and Mo Xun left the estate. Noticing how worried he seemed, she comforted, ”Don't worry, I won't let Father and Mother reprimand you.”

Tears welled up in Mo Xun's eyes. He pulled her into his embrace and apologized, ”Sis, I'm sorry.”

”It's alright. I can't possibly make you two get a divorce because of such a trivial matter. Marriage is not just child's play.”

The two of them arrived at the breakfast bistro.

Business was busy at the bistro at this time, with a large crowd of customers. Since Mrs. Mo did not allow Mo Li to help out, she had no choice but to go back inside the house and lie down to rest.

Hours later, Mrs. Mo finally finished up with work. She entered the house to see that her daughter seemed to be deep in her thoughts. She then closed the door and asked, ”Did Chunling say that she didn't want you to live with them?”

”Mother, it's inappropriate for me to be living with my brother and his wife. I'm thinking of renting an apartment elsewhere. It's so much more comfortable to live alone. Once I find a place to move in to, I'll find a job and go to work.”

”Don't bother going out to work. Just help out at the bistro. We'll give you a fixed salary every month too. How does that sound?”

”No, Mother, Sister-in-law is going to be upset about it again. I don't want to disrupt the peace and harmony within the family. I know you're worried that working would be difficult for me since I've never worked a day in my life before. But Mother, the toughest part of my life is now over. No matter what I do now, I'll no longer find it arduous.”

Mrs. Mo took out a savings passbook from the cabinet and said, ”This is the accumulation of the money you've been giving me in the past. I'm handing it to you now. Mo Li, you're still young and you still have a long way to go. Don't keep brooding over the past. One should always look forward to the future. I want you to live well and lead a blissful life.”

Mo Li took the passbook from her hands and said, ”I'm not brooding over the past, but I can't forget it easily either.”

”Okay. Should I get your brother to help ask around about an apartment available for rent?”

Mo Li declined, ”There's no need for that, Mother. I've got a bunch of free time on my hands, I'll go out to look for one myself. I'm thinking of renting an apartment in a location I prefer.”

”You've yet to fully recover. Leave it to after you've recuperated.”

”Nah, I'll go out to search for one later after lunch.”

”Let your brother accompany you then. Otherwise, I'll be worried. Mo Li, the first thing you should consider when renting an apartment is its safety. You must find a location where security is the tightest. Don't compromise your safety in order to scrimp and save money.”

”Mother, I know what to do. Just rest assured.”
