Mo Chi quickly came out of the shower. Qin Ran was already sitting on the bed. After Mo Chi finished his simple dinner, she took out her phone. “Take a look for yourself.”

Mo Chi took the phone and saw that the photo album was almost filled with photos of him and Yu Jing when they were young. Although he and Yu Jing did not do anything overly intimate in the photos, it was obvious that the two of them had an extraordinary relationship. He was frightened when he saw it and finally understood why Qin Ran was angry.

If he saw Qin Ran being so intimate with other boys when she was young, he would probably be crazy with jealousy.

Mo Chi flipped to the end and saw the wedding photo. His expression immediately turned ugly. “This photo isn’t real!”

Why would he take a wedding photo with Yu Jing? This photo was completely fake!

Qin Ran had already used professional software to analyze the pixel combination of the photo. She knew that the photo was fake, but she had checked. Back then, the two of them were indeed about to get engaged. It was impossible for Yu Jing to wear a wedding dress for no reason. She must have been prepared to marry Mo Chi at that time.

Just the thought of another woman almost marrying her man made Qin Ran feel extremely unbearable. She crossed her arms and leaned against the pillow. “Fake? Why do I feel that it doesn’t look like it? And those photos from the past. You and Miss Yu Jing really look like childhood sweethearts. You two are very compatible.”

Mo Chi felt that it was impossible for Qin Ran not to be able to tell that the last photo was fake. However, he didn’t dare to ask now and could only explain patiently, “The wedding photo is indeed fake. There’s really nothing between Yu Jing and me. As for those photos when I was young, they were taken by the elders for fun. It’s true, I swear.”

Qin Ran looked at Mo Chi for a long time before she smiled. “I can believe what you said, but according to my investigation, something happened to you at the engagement party. This matter seems to have something to do with Miss Yu. She treated you like this, yet you only let her stay overseas for a while? To put it nicely, you’re punishing her. To put it bluntly, you’re sending her to a trip.”

Qin Ran knew very well that Mo Chi was not a kind and magnanimous man with no bottom line. Although he was very gentle to her, he was more cold, strict, domineering, and oppressive to outsiders.

Yu Jing had already crossed Mo Chi’s bottom line by daring to plot against him in secret. However, Mo Chi actually didn’t pursue this matter completely and only punished Yu Jing a little.

From Yu Jing’s attitude, she did not take Mo Chi’s punishment seriously at all. This meant that Mo Chi’s punishment was not serious. This was what Qin Ran could not understand. Because of this, she suspected that there might really be an unusual relationship between Mo Chi and Yu Jing.

Upon hearing Qin Ran’s question, the cold sweat on Mo Chi’s forehead was about to drip. He held his forehead helplessly. “That’s because our Mo family and the Yu family are old friends. I…”

“I want the truth!” Qin Ran didn’t want to hear such a reason. “I’m not stupid, Mo Chi.”

Mo Chi was silent for a moment. “Alright.” He licked his lips and his gaze was deep, as if he had fallen into some bad memories.

“I knew Yu Jing when I was young. At that time, I had just come to the Mo Residence. Because of my parents’ death, Grandpa was very sad every day and didn’t have the time to care about me. As for Mo Huai, I’m afraid he couldn’t wait for me to die too.”

Qin Ran listened quietly. Mo Chi continued, “At that time, no one in the family cared about me. When the servants saw that Grandpa didn’t value me and that Mo Huai hated me, they also looked down on me and ignored me. No one even brought me to eat those few days. I was so hungry that I went to the kitchen to get food. In the end, I was caught by Mo Huai. He said that I was stealing from the kitchen and called me a bastard. He said that I had a life but no one wanted to raise me. Then, he pressed me to the ground and beat me.”

Mo Chi’s tone was very calm, but Qin Ran was furious because of his narration. She didn’t expect that the current head of the Mo Family, who was glorious and noble, couldn’t even eat his fill.

“I resisted when Mo Huai hit me, but there were too many of them. Soon, I couldn’t hold on anymore. Mo Huai proudly picked up a pot of hot soup that had just come out of the pot and wanted to pour it on me.”

When she heard this, Qin Ran’s eyes widened. Mo Chi held her hand. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Because Yu Jing suddenly came at this time. She stopped Mo Huai and said that if he didn’t stop, she would tell Grandpa Yu and my grandfather. Mo Huai left in anger. Yu Jing ran to me and gave me an orange-flavored candy.”

At that time, after Mo Chi came to the Mo Residence, he felt the sweetness for the first time.

“Don’t steal anything to eat in the future. Come and find me if you have nothing to eat,” Yu Jing looked at him and said with a bright smile.
