Marrying The Richest Man While Pregnant Novel - Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Apologized

“Tian Jing! Get down here!” A man’s cold voice echoed from the living room, filled with unprecedented anger.

Tian Jing shivered as she stood before Mo Yu anxiously. Her voice trembled as she cried, “C-Cousin…”

Mo Yu sneered, “Cousin my a*s! I never expected to have such a horrible cousin like you. You were just waiting for me to leave so you could wreak havoc, is that it?”

Tian Jing shook her head with teary eyes. “I-I didn’t mean to do those things. I was just fooling around, and I was drunk, so…”

Fang Liu sneered in her heart. ‘She hadn’t drunk any alcohol at that time. Tian Jing sure can lie about anything.’

However, Mo Yu had already watched the surveillance footage. He knew whether or not Tian Jing was drunk.

“Have you forgotten how old you are, Tian Jing? You’re already in your twenties! Do you think I will treat you like an innocent child for the rest of my life and tolerate all of your nonsense?” Mo Yu continued to sneer, “I will ask you again. How did you access those rooms?”

As Mo Yu swept his cold gaze past Lin Lin, she felt a chill run down her spine and could not help but tremble with fear.

‘What a terrifying man.’ Lin Lin clenched her fist tightly, preventing herself from crying. She looked at Tian Jing nervously. ‘Is Tian Jing going to expose me?’

Tian Jing hesitated to answer Mo Yu. Although Tian Jing was a fool for being used as a scapegoat, she knew that her cousin would be biased toward her. Tian Jing wanted to say that she had entered the rooms independently.

…

However, Tian Jing thought that if he admitted that Lin Lin had persuaded her, she would have a higher chance of being forgiven. Tian Jing hesitated and started speaking timidly, “W-Well…”

Lin Lin interrupted anxiously before Tian Jing could finish speaking, “Tian Jing is your relative, Mr. Mo. You should forgive her even though she made a mistake. You shouldn’t punish your cousin so severely just because she damaged Mrs. Mo’s belongings.”

Lin Lin interrupted Tian Jing to prevent her from exposing the truth. She twisted the story and avoided blame while expressing her concern for Tian Jing.

Tian Jing was touched when she saw her good friend defending her during a critical moment. She immediately abandoned the idea of exposing Lin Lin. ‘I shouldn’t be disloyal toward Lin Lin!’

Nonetheless, what Lin Lin said wasn’t entirely wrong. It was just a few clothes and flowers. ‘Is Mo Yu going to make things difficult for me because of what Lin Lin said?’

Tian Jing looked at Mo Yu pitifully. “I know that what I did was wrong. I promise that I won’t get drunk and fool around anymore. How much are those clothes and flowers worth? I’ll tell my parents to pay you back!”

Although Tian Jing’s parents weren’t as wealthy as Mo Yu, they wouldn’t have a problem compensating for Fang Liu’s damaged belongings.

At this moment, Fang Liu was thrilled that she didn’t smash the antique vase. The vase was more expensive than all the clothes and flowers combined.

The Yu-Liu duo exchanged looks when they heard Tian Jing’s words. They noticed the helpless expression in each other’s eyes. ‘Tian Jing is a fool. It’s too late to save her poor soul.’

The Yu-Liu duo knew that Tian Jing’s so-called good friend had tricked her. Tian Jing still felt that Lin Lin was good to her and thought she needed to be loyal. Tian Jing wanted to protect Lin Lin with all her might.

Naturally, Mo Yu couldn’t allow Tian Jing to compensate for the damaged property because Tian Jing and her parents were his family members. He knew that it wasn’t wise to make her parents pay for her mistakes.

Mo Yu thought it was best to keep this matter between him and Tian Jing. Mo Yu would treat it as a debt that Tian Jing owed him. With that, Mo Yu could use this matter to retaliate whenever his aunt and uncle were to suppress him in the future.

In the end, Mo Yu decided that he didn’t want money. However, it didn’t mean that Tian Jing was out of the woods just yet.

Mo Yu looked at Tian Jing with a cold smile. “There’s no need for your parents to pay me back. I don’t lack money. But you’ve offended your cousin-in-law. I want you to apologize to her and move out of my house.”

At first, Tian Jing was happy when she heard that her parents wouldn’t have to pay Mo Yu back for the damages. However, it wasn’t because her parents couldn’t afford it. Nonetheless, her parents would undoubtedly give her a good scolding.

‘It would be better if my parents weren’t involved. I can just keep this matter between Mo Yu and me.’

But Tian Jing didn’t expect Mo Yu to make the other two requests. She felt that she couldn’t agree to those conditions. ‘He wants me to apologize and move out? On what basis?! I know I did something wrong, and I should apologize to Mo Yu. But why do I have to apologize to that b*tch?’

‘Also, I’m Mo Yu’s cousin. Why can’t I continue staying here? That b*tch must’ve complained about me to Mo Yu again!’

Tian Jing gloomily glared at Fang Liu. She wished to tear the seemingly gentle and beautiful Fang Liu to shreds.
