"How long?" Mo Qiang muttered as she looked at the gates that were still shut close to her face; she turned to look at her sister and questioned, "Are they not at home?"
They had rung the doorbell three minutes ago but the doors were yet to be opened, which made Mo Qiang wonder if this aunt of hers was not even at home.
However, just as she was wondering about whether to turn around and walk away, the gates in front of her opened.
Mo Qiang: "..."
She turned to look at Mo Xifeng and remarked, "You know, I have a feeling something is about to happen and you know about it too but you are not telling me."
"You are thinking too much," Mo Xifeng calmly stated. Even though she felt bad about lying to Mo Qiang, she thought about all those times when Mo Qiang had lied to her and shoved the guilt away.
Mo Qiang continued to look at Mo Xifeng, who continued to look back at her, whilst hoping that she wouldn't be caught lying, because if she did, then even ten metal horned bulls wouldn't be able to pull Mo Qiang inside this mansion.
Fortunately, after staring at her for more than ten seconds, Mo Qiang turned on her feet and walked inside the house.
Behind her, Mo Xifeng heaved a sigh of relief and no sooner did she do that than Mo Qiang whipped her head back and questioned sharply, "You heaved a sigh of relief just now, didn't you? I think you did."
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did. I just heard—don't look down on these ears; I can hear the buzzing of the bees."
"Of course you can," Mo Xifeng tilted her head to one side with an innocent look on her face. "They are the size of a mecha car; it will be surprising if you cannot hear them."
Mo Qiang stared at Mo Xifeng. She squinted her eyes and then said to Mo Xifeng, "You better pray that you are telling me the honest truth and not half-truths, because if you dare—you better watch out for yourself. This time around I will not stop at just a small prank that consists of salt in your coffee!"
Mo Xifeng's brows twitched and she pursed her lips slightly. She hoped that Daddy Wen would compensate her for all the troubles that she was taking in his place.
The two sisters walked inside the mansion. When they approached the doors of the mansion, they saw a middle-aged woman running out; she looked slightly harassed, which made Mo Qiang wonder if there was a fire burning in the mansion.
There was indeed a fire in Mo Li's mansion but it was not a literal fire but a fire in her backyard. Just now she was reading in her study and didn't pay attention to the ringing bell as she thought that her husbands or the butler would go and greet Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng.
"We didn't have enough money back then and Mom didn't wish to trouble you," Mo Xifeng answered with a troubled expression. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"You girl," Mo Li shook her head with a heavy look. "Why are you and your mom so distant with me? No matter what, we are your relatives; if such a thing happens, then you need to tell us."
She then turned to look at Mo Qiang and said, "I am Mo Li, your mother's second sister. You can call me Auntie Li."
Mo Li didn't doubt Mo Xifeng's words because she could see the changes in Mo Qiang clearly. There was no disgust or anger in the eyes of the woman in front of her and nor did she hold any blame against her for trying to save Mo Wan.
Instead she was looking at her curiously, which showed that Mo Qiang indeed didn't remember her.
"Auntie Li," Mo Qiang greeted the woman and saw relief flash in her, which made her wonder why this woman was looking at her as if she was about to jump on her neck and bite a chunk of flesh.
However, Mo Qiang didn't get a chance to see through Mo Li as the woman turned around on her feet and said to the two of them, "Lets go inside, you must be tired."
