Chapter 1260 - 395: Protecting, One Family_4
If Sir Hu had been willing to show weakness, to admit his daughter was at fault first, and to accept Mo Yan’s proposal, this matter could have been glossed over. However, given the disgraceful actions of his family previously, he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to swallow his pride and bow to the Mo Family.
In the end, Sir Hu, without even saying goodbye and with a somber expression, led his reluctant wife, daughter, and a group of servants away from the Mo Family home amid the awkward stares of the onlookers.
This interlude came to an end with the departure of the Hu family members. The other guests, as if nothing had happened, crowded around Mo Qingze and Cui Qingrou to offer their congratulations.
Seeing the couple surrounded and worried about missing the auspicious time for the wedding ceremony, Mo Yan was about to step forward to remind them when she caught sight of Xin Er standing at the courtyard entrance. She quickly went over to check her hands, and seeing that her palms and wrists were swollen, she felt extremely distressed, "No matter how angry you are, a few slaps would have been enough. Now you’ve hurt yourself."
Seeing that her sister’s first reaction wasn’t to blame her for impulsively hitting someone but to be concerned about her hand, Xin Er, who had been humiliated, did not cry. Yet, a caring word from her sister made her eyes damp, "Sis, it... it doesn’t hurt. Really, it really doesn’t hurt!"
Mo Yan gently patted her sister, feigning anger, "It’s swollen like this and you say it doesn’t hurt? Nonsense! I have some ointment for bruises here, I’ll rub it on you later."
"Sis—sob—" Xin Er hugged her sister and cried uncontrollably. How lucky she was to have such a wonderful sister, who always forgave and understood her, no matter what she did wrong.
