Chapter 602 - EAVESDROPPING AND HOSPITAL VISIT
"WHERE do you think he will throw Mo Jian?" Luo Jin asked.
"Well, he did say that it would be some place where she would learn kindness and humility," Luo Yan answered.
The two of them were now walking towards Yu Jiao's hospital room. They just finished eavesdropping from the conversation between Mo Jian and her father. When they heard Mo Guang Lin's footsteps that were obviously about to go out of the room, the two of them quickly scrammed away from there.
Honestly, Luo Yan didn't expect that Mo Guang Lin would change his mind about his daughter this quick. He thought that it would need more than the conversation between Mo Jiu and Mo Jian for that to happen. Did that conversation really bring such great epiphany?
It's not weird for him to feel a bit surprised by that. After all, Mo Guang Lin had spoiled and pampered that daughter of his for years. Although Luo Yan gave pointers to Mo Jiu on how the other should lead the conversation in a way that would reveal Mo Jian's true color, was that really enough to change Mo Guang Lin's opinion this much? He even didn't need to think things through for a couple of days and immediately came up with this decision.
He expected that this would be a long battle. With Mo Guang Lin in a state of refusal and fighting them until the end. But that didn't happen at all. The only reason he could think of was because the other most likely accepted the wrong things he had done when it came to the way he raised his daughter.
Anyway, not that he cared. The most important thing now was the fact that Mo Jian would be out of Yu Jiao's life. With her reputation in tatters in this city, all her friends, if she even had any, would shun her. Without the support of his father, she could no longer do anything she wanted. It would be even better if she would be thrown far away. At least, with this, that girl would not be able to mess with Yu Jiao again.
"Then, would it be a reform school?" Luo Jin said with a bit of confusion. "But would a reform school even change someone like that?"
"Of course not. It would probably just suffocate her to the point of being much crazier than she is now," Luo Yan said.
The strict rules in a reform school would not really help someone like Mo Jian change. That was the common misconception of rich people who wanted to make their rebellious children more obedient. If Mo Guang Lin really cared for his daughter, he wouldn't send her to a place like that.
From the conversation they had heard, it seemed that that was still the case. Because Luo Yan could hear great sadness, frustration, and guilt from Mo Guang Li's voice while talking with Mo Jian. It seemed that he really didn't want to do this thing to his daughter. But he had to. Because he realized just how much worst it would be in the future if he didn't do anything to correct his daughter's three-views.
"If it was me, I'll send her to a remote village where people worked hard everyday so they could put food on their table," he added. "The kind of village where people lived simply but are still happy. That way, maybe she could see that money and status are not that important and that one could be happy even without them."
Luo Jin thought of what his brother said and nodded in agreement. "That could indeed be effective."
"Let's not talk about that girl anymore and just go to Jiao Jiao," Luo Yan said.
As far as he's concerned, Mo Jian was already done. He wasn't that bloodthirsty to want her to, you know, die or something. This was not some kind of afternoon drama after all. Where a brainless villainess would meet a violent accident once she's no longer useful to the plot.
It was enough that she would no longer be able to live that life that she was used to. She could either choose to be miserable her whole life or she could choose to change and be a better version of herself. If that was even remotely possible. As he had said, the most important thing here was for her to be permanently cut out of Yu Jiao's life.
They soon then arrived at Yu Jiao's hospital room. Luo Yan was a bit surprised when he saw that the other was alone.
"Jiao Jiao, we came to visit," he said.
Yu Jiao immediately raised her head from the phone she was holding and turned towards the door. She smiled when she saw Luo Yan and then felt a bit surprised when he saw Luo Jin behind. But she still greeted them both with a smile. "Yan Yan, Luo Jin."
"Where's Auntie?" Luo Yan asked as he sat down on a chair beside the bed.
"I'm about to be discharged today, so, Mom's settling the hospital bill," Yu Jiao answered.
Luo Yan frowned at that. "Already? Don't you need to stay for a few more days."
Yu Jiao chuckled because Luo Ren had the same reaction when she told him about it during his visit early morning. The only difference was Luo Yan looked cute with his eyebrows furrowed, while Luo Ren just added a bit of coldness to his handsomeness. She stopped and felt her cheeks heating up a bit. What was she thinking just now?
She shook her head and just responded to what Luo Yan just said. "I'm not really seriously injured. I could probably even discharge yesterday if my Mom didn't insist that I stay a day more at least."
She didn't have any concussion or serious head trauma. There's really no reason for him to stay at the hospital when she could recuperate at home. At the mention of 'home', he once again thought of Luo Ren. Because this morning, they met with the other's assistant who gave them the address of an available fully furnished apartment that was quite near Guizu Academy.
The assistant said that he had already talked with the building manager and they could move there any day from today. He also gave them the number of the building manager. So, when they want to move or talk about the rental fee, they could just contact the other.
She knew that wouldn't be possible without Luo Ren, so, she was really thankful. That warm feeling flowed through her heart once again. She wasn't sure if it was just simple gratitude. But she did know that she didn't hate this feeling at all.
Luo Yan wanted to say something more, but then the door opened and Yu Jiao's mother walked in.
Ji Xiuying saw Luo Yan and smiled. "Xiao Yan is here."
"Hello, Auntie," Luo Yan greeted with a smile.
It was then that Ji Xiuying saw another handsome teenager in the room. He was quietly standing on the side. She noticed that the other looked five points similar to Luo Ren. And a thought immediately came up to her mind.
"I didn't Xiao Yan has another handsome older brother," she commented. "You, brothers, really are blessed."
Luo Jin snorted, stopping himself from laughing. While Luo Yan only had black lines on his face.
