Chapter 86: Good Parent
Mo Li looked at Quan Yu with interest. This was the first time she heard a theory proposed in that matter. “Based on what you said, every man would be a beast for what is the purpose of man if not for procreation, biologically speaking, of course. But is there no exception?”
“Of course, there are those worse than beasts!” Quan Yu leveled a playful gaze at Mo Li. His eyes swept across Mo Li’s exposed waist.
“Hey, where are you looking?!” Mo Li huffed with a blush to her face. She believed she had just been flirted with.
Quan Yu parked the car at the hotel’s underground parking lot. They took the VIP elevator to the penthouse suite on the top floor because Quan Yu was one of the shareholders at this hotel.
After escorting Mo Li to the door, Quan Yu said in a low growl, “Good night, my beauty. I’m not going to stay any longer because you might turn me into a beast.”
The flustered Mo Li slammed the door in the man’s face. Quan Yu chuckled as he turned to walk towards the elevator. Inside the room, Mo Li’s face was burning. After she calmed down, she went to clean herself. Afraid of worrying her family, she called Nie Li to send her two set of new clothes.
Then Mo Li called home and told her grandparents that she would be staying with her friends for a study night and thus would not be returning home that night. Then she sat in bed and started to ponder who might be behind this.
When Quan Yu crawled back into the car, he took several deep breaths. He looked darkly ahead. So close… I was too close to crossing my line of rationality earlier.
But I’ll not rest until I seek justice for her! Quan Yu was first reminded of Wen Xue from the movie set. He began to arrange people to start an investigation, as well as interrogate the two captured goons.
Quan Yu took a deep breath, this was destined to be a rowdy night.
…
There was a private party among the school boards to celebrate the successes of their students in the IMO. Mo Yi knew that both Mo Li and Qiao Qing had gotten into the final so he had to participate in the party to show support.
“Ol’ Mo, the IMO’s result is already out, how did your daughters do?” This was the chairperson from the second biggest private academy at Pearl River, Li He! “Little Qiao Qing must have been amazing but I worry about your Li Li. But then again, Li Li has participated in the preliminary so that’s already something.”
Mo Yi frowned, “Li Li has gotten into the finals as well.”
“It is really as they say, spare the rod and spoil the child…” It was like Li He didn’t hear Mo Yi and he continued on his own. “Unlike you, I do not care to pamper my daughter. I give her a simple life but she can always rise to the occasion.”
Mo Yi knew that the man was going to show off his daughter again. Lee He’s daughter was indeed outstanding. She was the same age as Qiao Qing and she was the best student from her school.
But the important thing was Li He’s daughter was a much better student than Mo Li so whenever Li He encountered Mo Yi, he would mock him about it!
“In fact, she just sent me a message yesterday telling me that she scored 1 place higher than Qiao Qing in the IMO preliminary exam!”
Mo Yi was quite embarrassed… Mo Li had moved out and he was too busy to call her recently. So he had no idea how she did in the exam.
“Congratulations.” Mo Yi said.
“Pity that Qiao Qing is only your adopted daughter, you’ll be much prouder if the biological daughter scored better in the exam.” Li He loved to dispense unsolicited life lessons so he added, “Ol’ Mo, I hate to say it but if you ask me, it’s because you pamper your daughter too much that she is in the state that she is in now!”
Mo Yi’s face darkened immediately. “Li Li is perfectly fine!”
“Stop fooling yourself. Just compare your Li Li with my own daughter. I have no worry living my business with her but she flatly refused me! She said she wanted to earn everything on her own!
“Perhaps you should send Li Li over to my home so that my Wen Wen can help her with her school lesson!”
Those who didn’t know about the results praised Li He’s daughter. But one of them who knew the detailed results cut in, “Ol’ Li, you’re wrong this time. Li Wen’s mark barely passed the qualifying mark but Ol’ Mo’s Mo Li scored the second in our city, exceeding the qualifying mark by more than 20 points!
“So Ol’ Mo is truly an amazing parent!”
“What?” Both Li He and Mo Yi were shocked. No one told them about this!
While they were stunned, a group of reporters rushed over. When they saw Mo Yi, they immediately surrounded him.
“CEO Mo, good afternoon. We’re reporters from the city education channel. Since your daughter refused our request for an interview, we would like to have a simple Q&A with you. Miss Mo Li is completely different from how the rumors described her. How did you manage to raise such a brilliant daughter. Her score in the IMO is only 2 marks away from beating the first place winner.”
Mo Yi and Li He were stunned. They had no idea what happened.
