Chapter 232: The Girl in White
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“It’s fine. Miss, are you alright?” Butler Zhang’s gentle voice sounded. Then, he wanted to help the girl who had fallen to the ground.
“I’m fine.” The girl got up nervously. The white dress she was wearing was stained with dust and looked dirty. She was probably very uneasy because she had bumped into someone and didn’t even dare to raise her head. She bent down and apologized repeatedly.
Qin Ran looked in the girl’s direction and happened to see the faint outline of her side profile behind her long hair.
Strange, why did she feel that this girl was a little familiar? She seemed to have seen her somewhere before… Impossible. There was no one with such a timid temperament among the people she knew. She must have seen it wrongly.
When the girl fell, her elbow was also scraped and bleeding. However, the maids following behind did not seem to see her, nor did they have any intention of treating her wound.
Mo Hong and Old Master Mo, who were walking in front, turned around when they heard the commotion. When Mo Hong saw the girl in white, his expression was very ugly. “How embarrassing! Mo Shi, who asked you to bring her back? She’s stupid and ignorant. I’m angry just looking at her!”
Mo Shi glanced at the girl indifferently and smiled indifferently. “Grandpa, calm down. She’s just a little pet. Do you have to care about it?”
Qin Ran listened from the side and thought that Mo Shi really didn’t have any morals when it came to relationships between men and women. From his tone, it seemed like he treated that girl as a plaything. The young masters of rich families indeed had some despicable hobbies. Fortunately, Mo Chi was considered normal.
Mo Hong glared at Mo Shi unhappily and couldn’t be bothered with him. He followed Old Master Mo into the main hall.
Mo Chi glanced at Mo Shi and said coldly, “Don’t go overboard, Ah Shi.”
Under normal circumstances, Mo Chi wouldn’t comment on Mo Shi’s actions. After all, it was too normal for rich people to keep a few women. However, he had just realized that Qin Ran had taken a few more glances at the girl in white. He was worried that Qin Ran would feel uncomfortable because of Mo Shi’s actions, so he warned Mo Shi to restrain himself.
Mo Shi smiled and patted Mo Chi’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, Big Brother. I picked her up. She has no parents. I can be considered her savior. She followed me willingly. Look at what she’s wearing and using. Aren’t they all good things? I didn’t treat her badly.”
Mo Chi glanced at Qin Ran. When he saw that Qin Ran’s expression was very calm, he nodded and said, “I won’t care about you if you play outside. However, when you guys come back this time, your grandfather is prepared to arrange a few daughters of tycoons for you to go on blind dates. You’d better think about how to deal with this girl.”
Mo Shi was not young anymore. All these years, he did not even have a proper girlfriend. Now that Mo Chi was married, Mo Hong was naturally anxious for his grandson. When he returned to the country this time, he specially arranged for Mo Shi to follow Mo Chi and learn the way of business. At the same time, he prepared to settle Mo Shi’s marriage.
Although Mo Hong was in Country K, his thinking was still very traditional. He wanted to find a virtuous daughter-in-law in Country Z. Currently, he had already prepared several blind dates and even asked Old Master Mo to help him arrange them.
Mo Shi sighed helplessly. “I know, I know. Now, even you are urging me to go on blind dates. Sigh.”
The three of them entered the main hall and the door fell silent. A few minutes later, the girl in white carried her small leather suitcase into a small courtyard by the side door. After putting down the things, she took out a tissue and carefully wiped her wound. She was in so much pain that tears were about to fall.
“Heh, what are you pretending for? Young Master isn’t here. No one will feel sorry for you if you pretend to be such a pitiful vixen. Don’t you find it embarrassing to be coquettish all day?”
The young maid in the maid uniform rolled her eyes and said to the older maid beside her, “Auntie Qiu, why do you think some people like to pretend so much? But so what if she climbs into Young Master’s bed? Isn’t she still sleeping in the maid’s room like us?”
The girl in white clenched the tissue nervously and explained softly, “I’m not pretending.” Gritting her teeth, she mustered her courage and looked at the middle-aged maid. “Auntie Qiu, I didn’t bump into Butler Zhang on purpose just now. Someone… someone pushed me…”
“Push you? Don’t you have any shame? Do you still want to say that I pushed you?” The young maid placed her hands on her hips and walked arrogantly to the girl in white. She suddenly pushed the girl. “Lu Xiao, did I push you like this?”
The girl in white was pushed back two steps and fell into the pool. Although the pool was not deep, the water was unusually cold. The girl’s clothes and hair were wet, and the mud in the pool was on her.
