"It was your own son who didn't have a filter on his mouth! He mocked my family so I fought with him! What's wrong? Is he crippled or is he in ICU? I'm sure he's fine since he can still go home and cry to his father!" When Mo Yu thought about the fact that Lin Mu had gone home directly to complain to his father, he was incensed and he started to run his mouth.

"Young man, you're young so I'll let that slide for once. But you better mind your words."

​​

Mo Li had just eaten a dumpling when she heard the commotion. Mo Yu is still too young to handle something like this on his own. With a sigh, she put down her chopsticks, went over and extended her open palm at Mo Yu. "Give me."

Mo Yu looked at his sister dumbly. His expression was stiff. He clenched the phone in his hand even tighter.

What can Mo Li do even if I hand the phone to her? She might be able to handle Lin Mu... but not Father Lin! She might be afraid, yes, that right. A girl like her will be afraid. She will fumble and don't know what to say. That will make Mo Family lose face. I can't let her do that! Mo Yu nodded as he had found the justification for himself.

"Young Master Mo." Father Lin said on the phone. Mo Yu stood there like a statue.

Seeing his refusal to cooperate, Mo Li didn't waste more words but instead grab at the phone. Mo Yu was caught off guard so the phone slipped from his palm.

When their fingers touched, Mo Li's warm and gentle skin brushed against his and Mo Yu jumped backwards in fright.

"Hello, this is Mo Li."

On the other end of the phone, Father Lin began slowly. "You're Mo Yu's little sister. Was it you who beat up Lin Mu?" Father Lin asked because someone came to him and told him that Mo Li had hit Lin Mu.

Lin Mu and Mo Yu always got into fights, Father Lin never cared about them in the past because he saw it as fights between kids. This time though the news had reached the ears of the elders in the Lin Family. Elder Lin felt like Mo Family had humiliated them so Father Lin was sent to iron out the details.

However, the strange thing was Lin Mu himself claimed that no such thing happened. When the family doctor came to examine Lin Mu, he couldn't find any surface wounds either. Only when the doctor pressed on certain part of Lin Mu's body that Lin Mu hissed with pain.

"Yes." Mo Li answered plainly with no fear on her face at all. To be honest, Father Lin didn't think this issue was so serious. In fact, he wanted to be there when Lin Mu was taught a lesson. He had been meaning to educate his son for a long time already but his father forbade him from doing so. And now it was also Elder Lin who demanded Father Lin to call Mo Family to ask for an explanation.

After getting Mo Li's answer, Father Lin was stumped. Is the girl really that brave or she doesn't take Lin Family that seriously?

"Then I might have to pay Mo Family a visit with my son."

"Our doors are always open."

Father Lin felt like chuckling to himself. This Mo Li was similar to her mother, she was fearless and had a sharp tongue. Father Lin sighed on the phone, wondering if the girl was really that calm or it was just a pretext.

Before Father Lin could say anything, Mo Li hung up on him. Father Lin didn't mind it that much, he just felt a bit confounded by the whole development. He was the one who called to demand for an explanation but it didn't feel like he was given any.

His secretary stood beside him. When Father Lin put down the phone, the secretary ask, "Sir, are you really planning to go visit the Mo Family?"

"Yes."

"Then I will arrange the schedule for you." Father Lin nodded. He glanced at the door of his office which had been pushed open a gap. This brat... All he knows is to create trouble for the family!

...

Mo Yu's face was red from indignation. His ears and neck were crimson. He grabbed Mo Li's wrist, "Why would you admit to it? You'll only bring trouble to yourself!"

Mo Yu was at his puberty but he was already 1.86 metres tall. Mo Li had to raise her head when she talked to him.

"So you mean to take on this trouble for me? You wish to protect me?" Looks like those whipping did work. He has started to learn to care about his family already.

However Mo Li also knew that there were only so much the younger generation could do, sometimes the adults had to step in.
