Chapter 2: Sweetie
Translator: Lonelytree
There were 2 men standing and 1 man sitting on the couch. They were fine specimens of their species.
Mo Yun, the eldest son of the Mo family, wore a black suit with a pair of slacks. He had that naughty and dangerous allure to him. His handsome face was now carved in seriousness.
The second son was dressed in a straight suit with gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like the quintessential business elite. But gloom was also written all over his face.
The two sons would not normally speak so loudly to their mother, but there was a good reason for it this time.
How could their favorite sister do such a terrible thing?
Where did she get the courage to hit someone with a car?
The man sitting on the sofa sighed faintly, and his face was drawn.
Mo Yi, the father of the Mo siblings, thought about his son who had just been given a sedative at the hospital. He hoped that his third son would calm down further when he woke up. When Mo Yi visited his son at the hospital earlier, his son shouted at him, “All you care about is Mo Li, what about me? Am I chopped liver?”
Those words really made his heart feel like it was being stabbed by a knife.
Mo Yi was already over 50 years old, but he paid attention to his health on a daily basis. Traces of age could barely be seen on his face, he exuded the charm of a mature man.
“Have you forgotten the love you have for her? When you guys grew up together, you cherished and pampered her. You hugged her every day, and every time she cried, only you could coax her to stop. Do you remember how happy you were when she called you Big Brother for the first time?” Mo Yi’s mother held onto his eldest son’s shirt tightly. Her face was colored with pain as she pleaded desperately. After this accident happened, she had cried her tears dry. She never thought her daughter would turn out like this!
Mo Yi’s jaw could not help but twitch. The usually swift and decisive business tycoon did not know what to say in that moment.
“I remember! How could I forget?! It is because she is the only girl in the family, that all of us spoiled and pampered her! It is because we have given her too much leeway that she turns out like this. I could have tolerated her usual temper tantrums and unreasonable demands, but she has gone too far this time! All you care about is her, what about Lil’ Three? Do you even care about him? He’s the actual victim in this accident! As you know Lil’ Three pays special importance to his appearance, this accident has shattered his leg bone. The doctor says he has to live with uneven leg length. How do you expect him to live like this? Do you know how traumatizing this will be for him? Do you even care about him or Mo Li is the only one in your mind?”
“How could you accuse me of that? Of course I care about Zheng ‘Er, I have carried him for 10 months as well! But Mo Li is just a girl... She can’t look after herself like you boys do. So I took extra care of her and pampered her... I know she has crossed the line this time but as a mother, I can’t sit idly and allow my daughter to be sent to a mental hospital when there is nothing wrong with her mentally. At most she has some temper issues, but that doesn’t warrant being locked up in a mental hospital!”
Mo Yi looked at his devastated wife and he wanted to reach out to comfort her. But at this moment, he felt entirely powerless. His words might even make the situation worse. In the end, his arm lingered in the air before he put it down again.
Lil’ Two glanced at his mother and said with a heavy heart, “Big brother didn’t say that we have to commit her to a mental hospital...”
“But I did and you agreed, don’t you forget about that!”Mo Yun glared at his second brother and said, “There is no way we’re letting her off easy this time! Apologize to Lil’ Three and make sure that Mo Li is disciplined. Otherwise, she’ll be getting a one-way ticket to the asylum!”
“Okay, okay... Yun ‘Er, I understand, don’t worry... I’ll give her a stern talking to this time.” Mother Mo looked at her eldest son and her son’s cold demeanor was like a spear piercing through her heart. She changed the subject to try to appease her son, “Yun ‘Er, you’ve just returned from overseas. I’ll get Aunt Qiu to cook something delicious for you...”
“That won’t be necessary, I’ll be going to the hospital. At least someone from the family needs to be there when Lil’ Three wakes up.”
“What about you, Lil’ Two?” Mother Mo turned to her second son as if asking for help.
“I’m going back to the company. I have something important to deal with. I’ll leave with Big Brother.”
Sensing the awkwardness forming in the air, Mo Yi finally said, “Yun ‘Er, you should go to the hospital and look after Zheng ‘Er. Your mother and I will go and join you in a bit.”
Before he even finished, his two sons already left. Mo Yi let out a helpless sigh. How did a perfectly fine family end up in a state like this?
In her room, Mo Li got out of bed, thinking about how to make up for the mess the character, Mo Li had made. As she turned to walk down the stairs, she met her mother’s eyes.
Standing there, Mo Li seemed to see many emotions in her mother’s eyes, but the most conspicuous of them was helplessness.
Mo Yi walked over to hug his wife, he was at a loss on how to comfort her.
“This is all my fault. I doted on Li Li too much... That’s why she has become like this.”
As a veteran in the business world, Mo Yi had always thought that he had a glib tongue. There was no situation he could not talk himself out of, but at that moment, holding his wife, he was tongue-tied. In fact, his eyes reddened alongside hers.
“The fault is not yours alone, I have to take responsibility too. Fortunately, Li Li is still young. It’s not too late to educate her. Li Li is not a bad person, she’s still our Sweetie, isn’t she?”
The couple had to admit that among their four children, they cherished their youngest daughter the most, because she was the only girl and she was the youngest.
But that didn’t mean that they don’t love their three sons.
