Chapter 776 Awareness of Provocation (1)_1
Looking at the pained, bewildered Mrs. Du, Mo Qingze sighed. He couldn’t quite pinpoint his feelings towards this woman. As a young couple, to say there had been no affection would be a lie; when she eloped with someone else, he had felt hatred; but after the hatred, he started to reflect and realized that he bore an inescapable responsibility for everything that had happened, and his animosity towards Mrs. Du slowly faded away...
However, the moment she fabricated the lie about Yanyan being Chen Ji’s daughter, just to save Chen Ji, Mo Qingze lost all hope in this woman. He would not let his child be harmed, nor would he ever allow his children to acknowledge such a mother.
Seeing that her father only felt annoyance towards Mrs. Du and held no affection, Mo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The gloom that Mrs. Du brought had finally lifted somewhat. She no longer looked at Mrs. Du and said to her father, "Dad, we still have guests at home, let’s go back!"
Mo Qingze had the same idea. He looked deeply at Mrs. Du, wanted to say something, but then felt it was unnecessary. In the end, he didn’t say a word and turned to leave with Mo Yan.
Mrs. Du watched helplessly as the father and daughter of the Mo Family turned the corner and disappeared from her sight. The next moment, the sound of the door closing rang out, but she no longer had the courage to step forward and knock on the door that separated all.
The snow kept falling heavier, gradually covering the shallow footprints of the two, big and small, until no trace was visible anymore.
Mrs. Du stood motionless in her spot for a long while, the dense snowflakes falling on her head and shoulders, melting into water from her body heat and soaking her already thin clothes.
Once certain that the father and daughter of the Mo Family would not reappear, a figure that had been hiding on the other side of the courtyard wall for some time emerged behind Mrs. Du. He raised his hand making a strange gesture towards the void, then concealed his form and vanished from the spot, leaving only two footprints not yet covered by the snow.
