With Mo Li standing beside him, Mo Yi had to explain everything clearly and plaintively before they were allowed entry.

Elder Mo and Madam Mo lived in a double-decker loft in the city. Their children had long since left the nest. The senior couple merely managed the family affairs from a distance. Most of the time, they spent their days visiting shopping malls and nearby parks.

​​

However, Mo Family still referred to Elder Mo for momentous event happening within the family.

...

Elder Mo and Madam Mo entered the living room and sat down. Mo Yi stood to the side, not daring to sit down without his father's permission. Even though it had been years since Elder Mo intervened in the family business, Mo Yi still had an innate fear of his fear. His heart shook staring at Elder Mo's stern expression. Mo Yi's dignity as the head of Mo Family was shaken whenever Elder Mo was around.

Elder Mo sat straightly. There was white in his hair but his figure was lean and fit. He had not gone paunchy from age, Elder Mo took good care of his health. Elder Mo had been an exercising buff since he was young. Even though he was senior in age, some habits were hard to kick.

Madam Mo looked incredibly fashionable, she still followed the latest style. Her hair was dyed in the most popular chestnut color, and she was a chic dresser. She smelled like orange blossoms.

With Mo Yi still standing at attention, Madam Mo reached towards Mo Li's hands attentively. She pulled her granddaughter down to sit next to her. Then she took a serious look at Mo Li to make sure that everything was fine with her granddaughter.

Then, she patted Mo Li's head affectionately and said, "My darling, my love, my baby sweetie, what have they done to you? Tell grandma, did they bully you? Don't worry, grandma has your back!" Madam Mo touched Mo Li's face and then her arms and legs as if to ensure that Mo Li was perfectly in one piece.

Naturally, this made Mo Li quite uncomfortable.

A dumbfounded Mo Yi looked at his mother. Did his parents not know what had happened?

"Mother, we did not bully her. Mo Li has committed a serious mistake this time. We were not bullying her, we were educating her so that she won't make the same mistake in the future!" Looking at his mother's doting manner, Mo Yi could not help but sigh. From his mother's demeanor, you would think it was Mo Zheng who was in the wrong and Mo Li was the victim instead.

Madam Mo was not going to let her son talk back to her. "What nonsense are you talking about? How old is Li Li? She doesn't even know how to drive! If she was really the one behind the wheel, the blow back would have injured her too. Would she still be standing here with no bruise visible on her body? Mo Zheng is Mo Li's big brother, how could you even think that she would do something like this?"

"That's right! Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you when you were young? How could you be so foolish?" Elder Mo suddenly chimed in, "No investigation has been done and you've already decided to accuse your own child? Furthermore as Li Li's parents, do you sincerely think she's capable of something like this? Do you know how much pressure this would put on Li Li?"

Different from Mo Li's parents, her grandparents were of the firm belief that the news was made up.

Mo Li would never do such a thing to harm her family.

Madam Mo had 3 sons so the biggest wish in her life was to have a daughter. Her sons got married one by one but her daughters-in-law somehow only gave birth to more sons... As she watched the parade of boys run through her house, Madam Mo's heart was chilled.

Finally, it was Mother Mo who fulfilled Madam Mo's wish, and gifted Mo Family with a daughter. This made the old couple extremely happy. Naturally, they doted on her more than their other grandchildren.

Mo Li grew up with her grandparents from 1 to 4. She spent most of her childhood cared for by her grandparents. Mo Li only returned to Mother Mo when she was 5.

So in a way, Mo Li was brought up by Madam Mo. Madam Mo was there through Mo Li's formative years, she knew while Mo Li could be headstrong at times, she would never actually maliciously harm someone.

Of course, they were not so blind to not see the effect over doting had on the girl but they also knew that Mo Li was not a malevolent person. They would never believe that Mo Li would drive a car to hit her own brother.

For a time, Elder Mo also considered tempering his granddaughter's temperament but while he could be stern and harsh with his boys, Elder Mo was powerless before his granddaughter.

So what if Mo Li was a little bit spoiled? As the sole daughter of the Mo Family, she deserved to be spoiled!

Mo Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mother, please be sensible. She is already 16, not 6. Her mother and I are trying to educate her, but now you're making it sound like we're the bad guys instead."

"Such insolence!" Elder Mo suddenly boomed, spooking Mo Yi so much that he zipped up immediately. "Are you trying to insinuate that your mother and I aren't good parents? It's our fault that this happened? We raised all of your children for you, but the boys are all fine but Li Li is the only one with the problem?"

"Father... When did I say that... You can't twist my words..." Mo Yi had more to explain but he was shut down with a glare from Elder Mo.

He had done nothing wrong so how did he end up in the hot seat? Mo Yi stammered and fidgeted, acting like a younger version of himself when Elder Mo lectured him.

"I don't care, the bottom line is that you have to settle this issue fairly!" Elder Mo dictated. He refused to believe his granddaughter would have done the things that they accused her of doing.
