“Miss Tian, I’m fine.”

Nanny Tian held her forehead, which bumped on a corner of the shoe cabinet. With Ling Mo’s help, she stood up with great difficulty.

However, before she could stand still, the exasperated Ling Yunlong pushed her to the side again and said angrily, “No one can stop me today. Those who beg for mercy on her behalf will be punished as well!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved the whip in his hand and lashed it toward Ling Mo’s head.

“Hold on.”

Ling Mo’s eyes were sharp and her hands were quick. She firmly grabbed the other end of the whip and enunciated each word clearly, “Say it clearly first. What rules have I violated again? If you can’t give me a reason, I’ll sue you for domestic violence.”

Su Yu didn’t mind watching the show and acted like a good wife and mother. She lectured Ling Mo earnestly, “You can’t accuse your father of domestic violence. Your father is doing this all for your own good.”

“Yu’er, what’s the use of talking so much to this little brat? She has already beaten Xiao Tian up to this state, what else is there to say?”

Ling Yunlong pointed at Ling Tian’s swollen face, snorting.

All along, he had placed great importance on nurturing Ling Tian. He was counting on her to fight for the Ling family and marry into the wealthy Liang family as soon as possible.

After learning that Ling Tian’s face was almost disfigured because of Ling Mo, Ling Yunlong felt a lingering fear in his heart. He didn’t want to delve into the right and wrong, so he just scolded Ling Mo.

Ling Mo curled her lips. After figuring out the Ling Yunlong’s outburst, her cold eyes suddenly fell on Ling Tian who was pretending to be weak, “Ling Tian, look into my eyes and answer me. Did Wu Xinyi or I cause the wound on your face?”

“I. . .”

Ling Tian’s eyes fluttered as she lowered her head guiltily.

Seeing this, Su Yu went forward and pulled Ling Tian into her arms. She said in an unfriendly tone, “Mo Mo, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? Xinyi, that child, was born into a scholarly family and has a very good relationship with Xiao Tian. How could she have attacked her?”

“What? Didn’t Ling Tian tell you in detail that she was punished by the head teacher to write 3,000 words of remorse for being involved in a fight?” The corners of Ling Mo’s lips curled up, and her long and narrow peach blossom eyes were filled with ridicule.

Su Yu was confused when she heard this. She tilted her head to look at Ling Tian, who was cowering in silence, and asked softly, “Do you understand what Mo Mo is saying?”

“I don’t.”

Ling Tian bit her lower lip lightly and shook her head, refusing to mention her punishment.

“Have you forgotten what happened this morning so quickly? I still have pictures of you and Wu Xinyi slapping each other. Do you want to take a look?”

Ling Mo adjusted the slightly tilted phone on her chest pocket and pointed the phone at Ling Tian’s swollen face, showing a few close-up photos of her.

Ling Tian did not expect Ling Mo to still have photos of her beating someone up. She quickly changed the topic and explained pitifully to Ling Yunlong, “Dad, I didn’t do it on purpose. Sister forced me to do all of this.”

Ling Mo snorted coldly, “You used Xiong Chumo’s hand to instigate Wu Xinyi to surround me in the female toilet, so I can’t fight back?”

“Sister, you can’t slander me.” Ling Tian wiped away the mottled tears on her face. Her words sounded broken.

“Fine. If you insist that the wound on your face was caused by me, I don’t mind giving you a few more punches. There’s no way I will take the blame for nothing.”

After saying that, Ling Mo let go of the thick leather whip and walked towards Ling Tian.

Ling Yunlong realized that he had probably wronged Ling Mo. The whip in his hand was like a hot potato that he couldn’t shake off even if he wanted to.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly turned his head and questioned Ling Tian coldly,

“Xiao Tian, was the wound on your face caused by Mo Mo?”

“At that time, many people were pulling my clothes. I can’t remember who hit me.”

Ling Tian shrunk her neck and mumbled timidly..
