Mimicking the roar of a lion, the little boy hurriedly chased after Mo Yun, feeling immensely satisfied with himself.
The watchman could not detect the presence of Xiao Mo. Coldly laughing while glaring at the back of Mo Yun, he muttered under his breath, “Lowly wretch thinks too much of herself.”
Finishing his rant, he deliberately shouted, “Old Master, Miss Mo is back!”
The gaze of Mo Zhenggan, waiting in the living room, instantly frosted over.
Mo Xingyu, who had returned earlier, also looked towards the door, her eyes dancing with ridicule and contempt over the misfortune that was about to befall Mo Yun.
Mo Yun, she thought, the little slut actually dared to run away from home, today she’s dead meat for sure!
Listening to how the watchman had deliberately alerted the Mo family, Mo Yun only sneered in derision and, without hesitation, pushed open the door leading into the living room.
As she entered, the solemn Mo Zhenggan did not spare her a glance. He icily commanded, “Come over here and kneel in front of me!”
His angry roar instantly raised the tension in the living room to the brim.
Mo Xingyu and the woman with such a well-maintained appearance sitting beside her, Zhang Qin could only feel glee in their hearts.
Every time they saw how Mo Zhenggan mistreated this daughter of his, they felt deeply relaxed and comfortable.
Especially Zhang Qin, her daughter had snatched the identity of the only Miss of the Mo family from Mo Yun as she had assumed the position as matriarch of the family from that short-lived woman.
The Mo family today completely belonged to her and her daughter. She was the biggest winner in life.
Now, seeing Mo Yun being mistreated every day had become one of her greatest indulgences.
Mo Zhenggan had already unleashed his fury on Mo Yun.
However, the woman who would silently swallow her grievances and wordlessly allow herself to be mistreated no longer existed. She did not obediently accept his order to kneel, instead she just silently stood by the door. Not even a hint of sorrow or panic could be seen on her face.
Mo Zhenggan felt as though something was amiss and furrowing his eyebrows deeper, his gaze grew fearsome. “What kind of attitude is this? I told you to come here and kneel! Did you hear me?”
“Yep, I heard you.” Mo Yun curtly nodded her head.
“If you heard me, then why are you not kneeling this instant?! Mo Yun, let me tell you something, this family has no place for you. If you don’t listen to me obediently, then don’t blame me for taking you to task.” Mo Zhenggan angrily roused his body and ordered one of the maids, “Someone bring me a cane. Today I’m going to discipline this unfilial daughter of mine.”
“Unfilial daughter?” Mo Yun laughed coldly, unruliness apparent in her voice.
Listening to her laugh, Mo Zhenggan and Mo Xingyu doubted their ears for a moment. Mo Yun may disobey and refute them occasionally, but she had never adopted such an unruly tone when speaking to them. She was clearly trying to pick a fight.
Mo Zhenggan and the rest felt that the Mo Yun in front of them was different from usual.
“In what way am I unfilial?” Mo Yun glared at Mo Zhenggan, her every word dripping with iciness.
“The Mo family. able to enjoy its current position and achievements, you people basking in glory and lavish wealth, is all due to my efforts, Mo Yun. So, Father, I would like to ask you; in what way am I unfilial?”
“Ah—-” Mo Zhenggan gave a cold laugh, his gaze sharp. “You’ve said that the achievements of the Mo family were because of you? Mo Yun, you are not just unfilial, but shameless as well. I painstakingly brought you up and cultivated you. I am your father, but you still harbour thoughts of rebelling against me? You better kneel now or don’t blame me for being nasty!”
At this moment, a maid handed over a leather cane to him.
Grasping the cane tightly in his hand, he looked at Mo Yun and viciously lashed down.
“PAH—-” The blood-curdling crackling noise the cane made reverberated in the ears of those listening, leaving them feeling chilled to the bone.
