Mo Ye still could not walk around freely and had to visit Meng Lianying in a wheelchair. Big Boss Mo felt that it did not look good for a big man to sit in the wheelchair. He knew that Meng Lianying had woken up and wanted to visit her, but he decided not to after thinking about how he had to sit in the wheelchair.
But, after Mo Jue talked to him, he decided to ask Ding Ke to push him over because he had something to ask her.
Ding Ke did not dare to stay for long and pushed the responsibility to Mo Jue. He said that his hand was not convenient to push Mo Ye and asked Mo Jue to push Mo Ye to see Meng Lianying. Meng Lianying stayed on the same floor as Mo Ye and was only a few rooms apart.
She had woken up but was not in good spirits as she had lost too much blood. She was always lethargic and was not really awake. It was generally acknowledged that if Mo Ye was the owner of the island, she would be the female owner. Due to her noble status, there were three nurses taking care of her. The nurses only wanted to leave after they saw the Mo brothers coming in.
“How’s Miss Meng?” Mo Ye asked one of the nurses.
“Her body is alright. She has slept for very long and should be awake soon.” The nurse replied respectfully. Although he was sitting, he did not lose that dominance as Big Boss Mo.
“Alright, all of you can leave first.”
“Okay!”
The three beauties did not dare to go too far away and stood at the corridor where they could not hear the conversation in the room. Although they were used to how good-looking the Mo brothers were, they were still amazed by their looks. They smiled and fan-girl over the Mo brothers’ looks once the Mo brothers went into the room.
“Lianling, Lianling…” Mo Ye shouted twice and Meng Lianling slowly woke up. Her long eyelashes created a beautiful shadow on her pale face, making the side profile of her face look even more beautiful.
Her pale face gave off a weak beauty, making people want to protect her.
Mo Jue wanted to leave at first, but after thinking about it, he decided to stay as there were no secrets between the three of them. He wanted to know if there was something that Meng Lianling was hiding.
“Ye…” Meng Lianying pathetically called him and was so agitated that she wanted to get up. But she stretched her wound and Mo Ye immediately pressed her down and said solemnly, “Don’t be in a hurry to get up. You’re still injured.”
Meng Lianying wanted to look at his injuries but Big Boss Mo pressed her down again and told her not to be too agitated. “This is the first time you are in such a bad state. She is really too ruthless!”
“I’m fine,” Mo Ye said faintly. He did not blame Eleven for shooting at him three times. He tried to calm himself down and asked, “How are you feeling?”
“The wound hurts.”
“It is not a fatal injury. You will recover after resting for a few days,” Mo Ye said softly and held onto Meng Lianling’s hand. He was silent for a while before asking her. “Lianling, what exactly happened between you and Eleven? Did you do anything to let her down?”
Meng Lianying suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Mo Ye in disbelief. “What do you mean? Are you suspecting me? Mo Ye, you…”
“Don’t move!” Meng Lianying was too agitated and wanted to get up. Mo Ye immediately stopped her and frowned. “Lie down and speak. Do not get up. Unless you want to change the bandage again?”
Meng Lianying felt wronged and her eyes were red. She did not speak for very long. Mo Ye and Mo Jue looked at each other and kept quiet. Meng Lianying wiped away her tears. “Mo Ye, be honest with me. What do you mean?”
“I just want to know what happened between the two of you in the past. Why did she accuse you?” Mo Ye asked solemnly. “Lianling, you know me well. I hope that you won’t lie to me this time.”
“I said before that she killed my sister,” Meng Lianying said angrily. “She killed my sister.”
“Other than this? Is there something related to me?” Mo Ye asked. Meng Lianying shook her head crazily and almost screamed, but she knew that she had to calm down. If not, she would be exposed.
“No, there isn’t any. Ye, you are clear of how I’ve treated you for the past five years. When have I ever lied to you? Why do you not believe me but her?” Meng Lianying complained.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you. I just want to get things clear. Lianling, I don’t like it when people lie to me.” Mo Ye warned. “I hate lies, and you know that.”
“I didn’t lie to you.” Meng Lianying insisted.
“Why did she say that you owe her while looking at me? If it was a feud between the two of you, why would it involve me?” Mo Ye asked. Meng Lianying was flustered and she did not know what to do.
“I don’t know. I really don’t know!” Meng Lianying’s tears dripped down. Looking at her cry, Mo Ye pitied her. Mo Jue stood to one side and looked at them without saying anything. He quietly observed their conversation to see if there was any loophole.
But, there was none.
“Lianling, you know it,” Mo Ye said flatly. “I’m sure that you are hiding something from me.”
“I am not!” Meng Lianying screamed. Her eyes became red. “Mo Ye, you might as well say that you don’t believe me and you believe her. Why do I have to be interrogated by you after suffering two gunshots and waking up? I didn’t do anything! What can I do to her? She killed my sister and I’ve been looking for her. She’s the one that owed me. I don’t owe her. Why don’t any of you believe me but her?”
She said while crying. She looked at Mo Ye before looking at Mo Jue as if they owed her something.
Mo Jue did not know how to describe his feelings and just felt funny. He said, “Lianling, it’s not that we don’t believe you but Eleven. We only believe in facts and you are obviously the one being guilty. Don’t treat us like fools. Eleven almost said the truth, but you suddenly stopped her. Therefore, you got shot and she did not continue. Do you dare say that I’m wrong?”
“She shot Mo Ye a few times and she might do it the fourth or fifth time. Why would I not stop her when I had the chance to? Do you expect me to look at her kill Mo Ye? What kind of logic is this?” Meng Lianying retaliated and her tears fell. “Brother Jue, you’ve changed ever since you know Ye Wei. You changed because of them.”
She hated Eleven and Ye Wei. She knew that Ye Wei was the one that shot her even though she did not turn back to see.
“How do you explain Ye Wei shooting me, Brother Jue? Are you trying to help her? I…”
“What do you want?” Mo Jue cut her off as he could not stand it when someone else talked about Ye Wei. “If you want to return this shot, shoot me. You don’t have to say so much. I know whether or not I have changed. Lianling, do not try to change the topic.”
Meng Lianling looked at Mo Ye in shock and Mo Ye kept looking at her tear-filled face. “Lianling, I cannot understand no matter how I think about it. How did the two of you have a feud? You said that she killed your sister and she owed you, but why did she say that you were the one that owed her? Are you afraid that something will be exposed to us? Do not talk about trust issue. This is not about trust. You are obviously hiding something from us. I’m not the blind man I was five years ago.”
Meng Lianying’s face went pale. Five years ago, blind man—these words were like a needle being shot into her heart and it was so painful. She experienced what heartache felt like.
Should she return this stolen love? No, never. She had already lost her sister and could not lose Mo Ye. If not, she would go crazy.
“I’m saying the truth. I’ve tried to kill her before five years ago and I was the one that caused Ye Wei to be injured five years ago. But, I don’t know what happened after that. Maybe something unhappy happened because of me, but I really did not know,” Meng Lianying said as she shook her head. She looked pathetic, as if everyone was forcing her.
“Is it just like this?”
“Yes, just like this!”
“Then, why were you afraid to let us know?” Mo Jue asked sharply.
“I was not afraid of letting you all know. It’s just that I happened to have the chance to stop her, so I did. Why would I be afraid of letting you all know? Mo Ye, you know that I hate her so much. Why did you not let me know that she was on the island? Were you afraid that I would kill her?” Meng Lianying questioned.
Mo Jue’s face darkened. Why did Mo Ye get injured and Ye Wei almost suspected him? Wasn’t it all because of her? Yet, she dared to question Mo Ye.
“Do you know? I locked her up so that she could test out the antidote for you. Her body could survive all sorts of poison and can be used to test out the antidote, yet you asked me why?” Mo Ye sneered. His tone sounded like he could kill someone. The coldness from his body could really kill someone at that moment.
Meng Lianying was shocked. She did not expect things to be like this. She was happy that Mo Ye did not protect Eleven because he liked her. It turned out that he wanted to find an antidote for her and not because he liked Eleven. She was still the one he loved and protected the most.
That was really great!
Mo Ye was a little angry. Anyone would have been angry if they spent all their thoughts on someone, yet the person questioned him. Moreover, he felt distracted by Eleven. Meng Lianying knew that she had made Mo Ye unhappy and did not dare to scream anymore. She just looked at him in trepidation.
“Ye, I’m sorry. I didn’t suspect you on purpose. I’m sorry!”
Mo Ye did not want to ask anymore. He would not be able to get any other answer given her personality. He wanted to let Mo Jue push him back and Meng Lianying suddenly said. “Ye, let’s get married!”
