Chapter 525: Going for Her in the First Place

Mo Li slowly walked up to her.

From a distance of three steps, he closed in until he could lift his foot and ruthlessly stomp on Chu Yao’s face.

Mo Li wasn’t in a hurry; he watched, toyingly, as Chu Yao struggled, and after he’d had his fill and was sure the drug had taken effect, he suddenly lifted her from the ground.

Taking quick steps, he threw her onto the hood of the car.

Chu Yao’s waist hurt terribly from the impact, but although she couldn’t feel the pain, she still furrowed her brows.

Mo Li turned her around so she was lying face down on the hood.

His hand pressed down on her head, forcing Chu Yao’s face downwards, squeezing it out of shape.

“You know, if it weren’t for your face, I would never have adopted you back then.

You look so much like her.

So when Tingshen said to choose you, I agreed.”

“You said…” Chu Yao turned her head, her shaky vision gradually focusing on Mo Li’s face, “what?”

She was clearly the one Mo Tingshen had chosen.

When the Mo Family came to the orphanage that year, dressed in flashy clothes, the luxury cars parked at the entrance drew a crowd.

Mo Li stood there with his wife and their two sons, their presence commanding, exuding nobility down to their bones.

Other wealthy families had come before, but Chu Yao either pretended to be sick or acted as if she were mentally unstable, refusing to leave even when she was chosen.

But that time was different.

Lu Zhenzhen had been taken back by the Lu Family, and Nan Jiaojiao had disappeared without a trace.

Chu Yao was left alone in the orphanage, with no channels through which to gather information.

So, she stole a can of cookies from the director’s office and secretly found Mo Tingshen, stuffing the cookies into his hand.

“Brother, here are some cookies for you.”

Mo Tingshen was only seven or eight years old at the time.

He looked at her with a smile, “Brother doesn’t like cookies.

Little sister, you keep them.”

He handed the cookies back to her, and when Chu Yao didn’t take them, he hesitated, then took her hand and gently placed the cookies in her palm.

Noticing the thin sneakers on her feet, he commented,

“It’s cold in winter.

Wear more to keep from freezing your feet.”

As he turned to leave, Chu Yao, without thinking, grabbed his sleeve.

She didn’t pull hard, but Mo Tingshen stopped, looking down at her hand and then at her.

Chu Yao quickly released her grip, biting her lip, then cautiously clutched a small corner of his garment, insisting on giving him the cookies, “Xiao Yao stole them, I want you to have them.”

Mo Tingshen’s brows lifted in a puzzled expression.

Perhaps, in his experience as a young master, he had never encountered such a young thief.

“Little sister, stealing is wrong.

I’ll go with you to return them.”

Mo Tingshen took her hand, “I’ll keep the cookies.

Come home with brother and we’ll eat them together.”

That time, Mo Tingshen chose her, and Chu Yao had always thought it was her cleverness that made Mo Tingshen choose her.

She never imagined that Mo Li, rather than heading to an urban orphanage, came specifically to this dilapidated village just for her!

“Who is this ‘she’ you’re talking about?”

“Want to know?” Mo Li teased her, “Serve me well tonight, make me comfortable, and I’ll tell you who she is.”

“Ptui!”

Chu Yao spat on his face, “You don’t dare touch me, you’re afraid of Mo Tingshen, and besides, old stud, you don’t even have the right to touch me.”

“Slap!”

Mo Li slapped her across the face.

“Chu Yao, let me tell you, I’ve raised you since you were little, just to have some fun.

I’ve restrained myself for more than a decade, not touching you until you were of age, that’s plenty compensation.

Stop using Mo Tingshen to scare me.

Three years ago, I almost succeeded, and didn’t he believe me and send you to jail?!”
