Chapter 92: Rumors
Seeing that she could not win against Mo Yan, Mo Lian rolled her eyes and a vicious plan instantly surfaced in her mind.
Mo Yan’s substitute marriage was a ticking time bomb. If one day Mo Yan thought of using this to threaten them again, it would not be good. Why not she expose it herself and let Mo Yan take the blame?
And that gangster, didn’t he threaten her last time? Even if she killed Mo Yan, what could that gangster do to her? Seducing the young master of the Qin family after getting married… This little bitch was really just like her slutty mother.
Mo Lian lowered her eyes slightly to hide the malicious light in her eyes, she pretended to sigh and said, “If you put it that way, I am confused about what happened to my parents. But I hope that since you’ve achieved your wish, you won’t disturb my family anymore. I’ve given you the person you want, and the money you want, the young master of the Qin family has already taken it from my family. From now on, let’s cut all ties.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Mo Yan was still thinking about how to prove her mother’s identity, but unexpectedly, Mo Lian spoke again, and Mo Yan subconsciously replied.!!
“I wonder how you are doing with your husband?” Mo Lian asked.
Mo Yan did not understand the purpose of her sudden change of topic. Her heart became more vigilant.
“Back then, when you heard that I was engaged to the young master of the Luo family, you thought that the Luo family was either rich or noble. Without knowing the truth, you asked father to let you get married to Luo Tao. Father was not willing. The Luo family believed that the one who was engaged to their young master was the legitimate daughter of the Mo family. However, you told my father that if he didn’t let you get married, you would publicize his mistake. In order to prevent the Mo family company from going into turmoil and causing the employees to lose their jobs, my father had no choice but to agree to your unreasonable request.” Mo Lian sighed. She looked as if she had been greatly hurt.
“So, I want to ask, are you and your husband okay now?”
When a strong person showed their weak side, it would cause people to unconsciously feel sympathy for them.
Mo Lian was acting like this now, pretending like she was the one who had suffered.
Mo Yan’s eyes slowly widened as she spoke, and she had a new understanding of Mo Lian’s ability to lie through her teeth.
Mo Lian said that she stole her place in her marriage? That she wanted to marry a hooligan that she had never seen before? That she thought that the hooligan came from a good family? Although she had indeed fallen in love with Luo Tao now, before they got along, her impression of Luo Tao was only that he was a hooligan who always fought with others and had been imprisoned. What Mo Lian said was completely made up.
However, nobody cared whether it was the truth or not. People only liked to listen to stories. If a story was interesting, whether it was the truth or not was no longer important. Because they were only there to join in the fun, listen and gossip, who would care if a stranger was wronged?
As the people around whispered, Mo Yan finally could no longer suppress her emotions. She took a step forward and gave Mo Lian a loud slap on the face.
“Mo Lian, don’t you remember why I got married back then?”
Mo Yan stared at the side of Mo Lian’s face. She wanted to know how Mo Lian would continue to slander her.
Mo Lian took half a step back in shock. She did not move for a long time. Mo Yan saw that Mo Lian had the intention to fight back. Mo Yan was already prepared to defend himself.
Unexpectedly, Mo Lian raised her red and swollen face and two lines of clear tears fell. She sobbed, “I’ve endured your slap. From now on, we’re even. Please don’t come near my family and my life again.”
In an instant, Mo Yan was angered by Mo Lian and laughed. She couldn’t control her tears, but she refused to let them fall.
Just as they were in a stalemate, a woman’s voice came from the crowd. She sounded to be in her thirties or forties.
“Aiyo, little girl, why did you hit her? She’s only speaking the truth! Kids nowadays!” She even clicked her tongue.
After the woman’s spoke, the small discussion gradually grew louder.
The flood of rumors drowned Mo Yan. Mo Yan only felt a wave of nausea. The sudden dizziness made her lose her balance.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands held onto Mo Yan’s waist, preventing her from falling down.
“Luo Tao.”
Mo Yan opened her eyes and finally saw a familiar person.
At this moment, Mo Yan could no longer hold back her tears. She threw herself into Luo Tao’s arms and cried silently.
The feeling of being wrongly accused by so many people made her physically and mentally exhausted. She did not even have the chance to defend herself. Mo Lian’s interlocking traps fully discredited her.
She was like a puppet, being strung around by Mo Lian.
