“What is that nonsense you’re saying?” Mo Yaoxiong’s tone was stern, “Your mother is still in the hospital recovering from her injuries, and today is a festival. Are you saying now that you want to move out and live on your own? How would that look to Xu Jing to see our Mo family like this?”

Qu Yunyao sobbed gently, “I asked the doctor today. He said that my mother’s injuries this time were severe and that her recovery will take at least three months. She might not be able to keep her job during these three months. Even after her recovery, it could affect her daily operation of her hands, and she might even be unable to play the violin ever again.”

Upon hearing these words, Mo Yaoxiong felt an even deeper sense of guilt.

“My mother only knows how to play the violin. In the future, if her hand becomes impaired and she can’t play anymore, I really don’t know what to do…”

“I bear a great responsibility for your mother’s injury.” Mo Yaoxiong sighed, “Rest assured, I will find the best orthopedic surgeon to cure her hand. Furthermore, feel free to live here as if it were your own home. As for Weiyi, I will have a word with her later.”

“No, Uncle Mo,” Qu Yunyao was very understanding, “It was indeed my fault. I shouldn’t have scared her by wearing white clothes late at night.”

“It’s just that she’s too timid. Ever since her mother passed away, she hasn’t dared to sleep alone. She must have been too scared, leading her to hallucinate and misunderstand you. For uncle’s sake, don’t bear grudges against her. You two are sisters. You should help each other and get along.”

Qu Yunyao nodded, “Uncle, it’s late. You should rest now.”

“Alright, you should go back and rest, too.”

“Okay.”

As she turned around, a smug grin immediately appeared on Qu Yunyao’s face.

Mo Weiyi.

That night in Haicheng, if it wasn’t for your sudden meddling, how could I have drunk that cup of alcohol?

How could I have let that fat pig take away my purity?

Rest assured, I will take back everything from you.

Bit by bit, all of it will be returned!

Xiao Yebai didn’t return home until after eleven at night.

When he arrived back at the villa, Mrs. Zhou was still sitting on the couch. When she saw Xiao Yebai, she immediately stood up, “Young Master Xiao, the princess is upset.”

“What happened?”

After listening to what had happened, the man’s brows furrowed slightly before he said, “I see, you go rest first.”

“Yes, Young Master Xiao.”

Xiao Yebai went upstairs and pushed open the slightly ajar door, Mo Weiyi was on a phone call. When she saw Xiao Yebai, she immediately said to the person on the other end of the line, “Wanwan, Xiaobai is back, I’ll talk to you later.”

After hanging up the phone, Mo Weiyi looked at him, her eyes terribly red and her voice tinged with a hint of petulance, “Why did you come back so late.”

Xiao Yebai walked over to her, and she immediately got up and wrapped her arms around his waist, complaining pitifully, “I was scared to death just now, but my dad didn’t believe me. I really heard someone knocking on the door, more than once, each time they knocked three times. It was clearly intentional, my ears aren’t deaf…”

In the end, she lifted her head, pouting her lips and asked, “Xiaobai, do you believe me?”

The man gazed at her with dark eyes, his deep voice calm and clear, “Yes.”

Mo Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief and buried her face back into his chest, murmuring sweetly, “I knew it… no one else can be relied upon, only Xiaobai believes me.”

The following afternoon.

When Qu Yunyao returned from the hospital to Beiyuan Villa, she saw a group of people busy at the entrance.

She walked over quickly, “What are you all doing?”

“Miss Yunyao,” Rong An answered stiffly, “According to Young Master Xiao’s orders, we are installing security systems in all the villas and important buildings in the old residence.”

“What?” Qu Yunyao’s face turned pale, “Why do they need to install surveillance in my place? I’m not a criminal.”

“You misunderstand, Miss Yunyao,” Rong An explained, “The princess was frightened last night, the surveillance is for the safety of everyone in the residence, including yours.”

“But I’m not comfortable with cameras in my living space. It’s an invasion of my privacy. I’m not used to it and I won’t feel comfortable!” Qu Yunyao yelled hysterically.

This was the first time she had ever heard of cameras being installed in her home.

Isn’t it obvious that Mo Weiyi is suspicious of her and is abusing her authority?

What was the difference between this and being watched?

“Miss Yunyao,” Rong An said gravely, “Whilst you are living here, you must follow the rules of this place.”

“What do you mean?” Qu Yunyao’s eyes twisted with anger.

This lackey of Mo Weiyi!

Every time he spoke, he was so annoying. He was just like a dog following his master!

“You’re just a bodyguard. Who do you think you are to speak to me like this?” she lowered her voice, threatening menacingly, “Don’t think that just because you’re with Mo Weiyi, you can treat everyone else like dirt! Even if I can’t fire you, I have other ways to make you pay!”

“I apologize.” Rong An watched her with cold, dispassionate eyes as he spoke in his usual rigid tone, the apology not sounding like an apology at all, “This was personally approved by Master Mo. If you have any objections, Miss Yunyao, you can talk to him. I will get back to work now.”

Having said that, he turned around to instruct the servants to continue their work.

Qu Yunyao stood there seething in frustration for a long time before finally stomping back into her room in resentment.

Whether it was due to the installation of the security system or not, the old residence was peaceful for the next few days.

Only Mo Weiyi started showing less favor towards Qu Yunyao..
