“You little b*tch, how dare you speak to your elders that way?!”
Li Li did not expect that the rumored dimwit, Fang Liu, would start talking like Mo Yu. Li Li was so angry that she did not hesitate to call Fang Liu a b*tch.
“If insulting me is the only reason Second Aunt came to visit, then I have nothing more to discuss with you. I shall take my leave. Please make yourself at home.”
Fang Liu stood up and prepared to head upstairs. Fang Liu could not be bothered to indulge Li Li any longer. Although Li Li was not the eldest daughter of a noble family, Mo Tao had pampered her for many years. No one has ever spoken down to her as Fang Liu did.
Li Li was extremely angered. She gritted her teeth and rebuked, “You’re pregnant with another man’s bastard child, yet you dare to consider yourself to be a Young Madam of the Mo family? I don’t know where you found the guts to speak to me this way!”
Fang Liu did not expect someone like Li Li, who had been in the Mo family for so long, to say such terrible things. Li Li was just as despicable as Xu Xiu.
Fang Liu sneered, puffed out her chest, and looked at Li Li with neither servile nor overbearing manner. “It was ultimately Grandfather Mo and Mo Yu’s decision that I marry into the Mo family. Are you implying that Grandfather Mo and Mo Yu made a reckless decision?”
“I’m not!” Li Li did not expect Fang Liu to retort instead of retreat. Instead, Fang Liu turned around and put Li Li to shame.
Li Li could not rebuke in time before she heard a raspy voice suddenly echo, “Fang Liu is officially the granddaughter-in-law of the Mo family. Li Li, do not repeat such nonsense in the future!”
Li Li had an ugly expression on her face as she turned her head. She saw Grandfather Mo sitting on the wheelchair, steered in by the servants.
Fang Liu looked at Grandfather Mo and respectfully addressed, “Grandfather.”
“Father!” Li Li’s voice carried a sense of grievance, “Fang Liu was being disrespectful to me just now. I was only advising her. Who would have thought that Fang Liu would have such bad manners?”
Li Li’s reaction was quick as she saw Grandfather Mo. Li Li immediately pretended to be virtuous and sensible. She made it seem as though Fang Liu did not respect her elders.
Fang Liu smiled faintly. “I wouldn’t offend anyone if I wasn’t provoked. It would be great if Second Aunt were to understand that principle. I hope that you will not criticize my child in the future.”
“You…” Li Li was extremely angered.
“That is enough. Stop arguing. We are a family. You are making a fool of yourself by causing such a scene.”
Grandfather Mo’s tone was harsh as he glanced at Li Li. “You are an elder. You have to be benevolent. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of the younger generation!”
When Li Li realized that Grandfather Mo was on Fang Liu’s side, Li Li gritted her teeth so hard that her teeth were about to shatter. But she could not refute. She could only swallow her pride and say, “I understand, Father.”
Grandfather Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. When Li Li saw that Grandfather Mo’s expression had softened, she looked around and proceeded to bring up another matter.
“Oh right, I heard that Fang Liu’s biological mother is currently in jail. What exactly is the deal with that?” Li Li pretended to be surprised.
Fang Liu frowned. She did not expect Li Li to have secretly investigated her mother’s situation. However, Fang Liu had no intentions of hiding her biological mother’s situation from the Mo family. It was easy for the Mo family to find out about her biological mother’s reputation.
“My mother’s company had gone bankrupt, so she—”
Before Fang Liu could finish her sentence, Li Li pretended to be enlightened and retorted, “So that’s how it is. I wondered why such a young lady in her twenties would marry into the Mo family with a child in her womb.
“So it was to help your biological mother pay off her debts. If that’s the case, I really pity Mo Yu. You only married him for his money. Sigh, young ladies these days really don’t have the desire to work hard anymore.”
Fang Liu’s face turned pale from Li Li’s sarcasm.
