Chapter 38 - 38 Get the Hell Out of Here All of You
Mo Jun never imagined that the rare occasion she went out, she would encounter them. She really wanted to say, “I must have bad karma from eight lifetimes ago!”
“Mo Jun, what are you doing here?” Mo Xinyu, however, showed a loving smile befitting a kind older sister. “Where have you been these days? Why haven’t you come home at all? Do you know how worried Mom and Dad have been about you?”
Chu Yi was also aware of Mo Jun’s status as an illegitimate daughter.
Mo Zhenggang explained to them that he didn’t want to be unfair to his deceased former wife, nor did he want to wrong Xinyu, so he tried to keep her existence low-key.
After all, his former wife had just died from childbirth complications, and his mistress had given birth to a child right after—such news would not reflect well on the Mo Family’s reputation.
Meanwhile, the Chu Family had little interest in the Mo Family’s domestic affairs, and even less in Mo Jun, the illegitimate daughter.
To everyone, her existence might as well have been nonexistent.
But Chu Yi knew that this girl liked him. Whenever he visited the Mo Family in the past, her eyes were always so shy when she looked at him.
But this time, he quickly noticed that the shyness was gone from her eyes, replaced only by indifference.
For a moment, Chu Yi found himself observing her somewhat more closely.
Facing Mo Xinyu’s hypocrisy, Mo Jun pretended she didn’t hear her, gave them a cold glance, and continued to lower her head to read the magazine.
Being so blatantly ignored, Mo Xinyu wasn’t angry but became even more tender and loving. “Mo Jun, what’s wrong? Why do you seem so unhappy to see your sister? Have you been wronged outside? It’s really unnecessary to be mad at Dad. No matter what, we’re family. Dad said, as long as you come home…”
“Weren’t you the ones who drove me out?” Mo Jun suddenly looked up and said.
Mo Xinyu was taken aback, “We didn’t drive you out…”
“How did you not?” Mo Jun curved her lips, not giving her any chance to interject, “You’ve always regarded me as a disgrace and wished I never existed. This time, knowing full well that I liked Mr. Chu, you still purposefully announced your engagement in front of me. I was hurt, yet you called me a toad longing for swan meat, utterly deluded. Especially you, I always thought of you as my caring older sister, yet you warned me not to approach Mr. Chu again. You even said that I was never worthy of him, only deserving of a man who is as low as me. With such disdain for me, after everything you’ve said, how could I possibly go home? You never dare acknowledge me in front of others, so why should I bother being a nuisance to you? Am I right?”
Mo Xinyu was flabbergasted, not expecting her to twist right and wrong to such an extent.
The old Mo Jun wasn’t like this.
She either kept quiet and bore grievances or flatly contradicted them.
When did she learn to play such mind games?
The truth about her leaving home was not like this at all! It was clearly because she was insatiable, preposterously coveting what wasn’t hers!
“Mo Jun, how can you say such things…” Mo Xinyu was about to emotionally refute her when Mo Jun impatiently cut her off.
“Enough, always playing the saint in front of Mr. Chu, doesn’t it tire you? Everything is my fault, you’re the best, okay? Mr. Chu, rest assured, I will definitely not like you anymore. I, Mo Jun, may have a lowly status, but I’m not shameless. If liking you is a sin and I have to endure other people’s humiliation, then I’d rather retain my last shred of dignity.”
Having said that, Mo Jun bowed her head deeply into the magazine, an image of heartbreak, despair, a dead soul inside, screaming ‘All of you, just get the hell away from me.’
