Chapter 162 Filial Piety
However, Old Man Gong had gotten blocklisted by several hospitals. Most doctors didn’t want to get involved with this Old Man Gong.
Some hospitals even knew that Old Man Gong’s son, Big Gong, was willing to spend a large sum of money to cure his father. But the doctors chased Old Man Gong out of their hospitals, saying, “You better get a coffin ready if you can’t find someone else to cure him.”
Nancheng was filled with the best doctors in the country. Big Gong went to all the major hospitals in Nancheng, but none of them could save his father. All the renowned doctors only said one thing, “He already has one foot in the coffin. We can’t cure him.”
Although there was a 90% chance that Old Man Gong would not survive, Big Gong still searched tirelessly to find someone who could cure his father. Big Gong kept increasing the reward, and he was willing to pay up to thirty million yuan.
“Thirty million yuan…” Fang Liu couldn’t help but click her tongue. “That’s a lot of money. Old Man Gong is a horrible man, but his son seems reasonable and dutiful.” “Dutiful, you say?” Mo Yu smiled disdainfully. “You only say that because you’ve never met Big Gong before.”
Fang Liu was curious why Mo Yu would say such a thing. ‘Big Gong’s father was severely ill. Even though Big Gong knew that finding a doctor who could cure Old Man Gong was tough, he was still willing to spend a large sum of money to cure his father. Isn’t that a sign of a dutiful son?’
Mo Yu saw that Fang Liu did not quite understand, so he pondered and said, “I think Big Gong’s actions are just an act. He’s an evil person. If he’s behaving like this, it’s most likely because he wants to save face.” Fang Liu disagreed with Mo Yu. “How can you say that? Even if Big Gong isn’t a good person, he could still be a dutiful son. Aren’t you looking down on him a little too much?”
Mo Yu didn’t mind that his wife disagreed with him. Instead, he surrendered and said, “All right, I admit that I’m being narrow-minded. You’re right, my beautiful wife.”
When the Yu-Liu duo arrived home, the servants came up to Fang Liu, took off her coat, and helped her change her shoes. Mo Yu went upstairs to shower because of his minor mysophobia. He would always shower after coming home.
Meanwhile, Fang Liu had gone to the kitchen to discuss the menu for the evening when Tuan Jing came downstairs in high heels.
Tian Jing rolled her eyes when she saw Fang Liu. Tian Jing sneered and said, “You’re such a little princess. You even asked my cousin to pick you up after having a meal with your friends. Even a gold jade necklace isn’t as precious as you.” The servants became uneasy when they saw Tian Jing ridiculing the young madam. They were afraid that the two women would start quarreling. Fang Liu’s relationship with Tian Jiang only worsened when Fang Liu returned to the Mo family home.
Tian Jing had become too comfortable in the Mo family home since Fang Liu had gone to the countryside. She didn’t have to compete for Mo Yu’s attention without Fang Liu around.
However, Fang Liu came back quicker than Tian Jing expected, making her the dispensable figure in the Mo family home yet again.
Mo Yu only thought of Fang Liu while she was gone. After coming home from work, the first thing Mo Yu would do was look for his wife. The Yu-Liu duo usually spent a long time whispering to each other in their room before coming out.
No matter where Fang Liu went, and no matter how busy Mo Yu was, he would always make time to accompany his wife or pick her up from wherever she was. But when Tian Jing begged Mo Yu to accompany her to a mall, Mo Yu would always say he was busy.
Tian Jing became even more annoyed with Fang Liu. She even wished for Fang Liu to die. Fang Liu was wise to avoid Tian Jing whenever Tian Jing provoked her. Fang Liu didn’t want to argue with Tian Jing because she thought it was vital for her to get along with Mo Yu’s family.
But whenever Fang Liu stepped aside, Tian Jing would become bolder and more overbearing. Tian Jing’s words became increasingly unpleasant. When the two women were alone, Tian Jing would call Fang Liu names like sl*t, wh*re, and b*tch.
Tian Jing would also call Fang Liu shameless. Whenever Mo Yu came home, Fang Liu would drag him to the room to have s*x. Fang Liu wanted to seduce a man even with such a big belly. Tian Jing thought that Fang Liu was similar to a prostitute.
Tian Jing said that Fang Liu was cunning. Tian Jing was disgusted because Fang Liu wanted to marry Mo Yu even though she was pregnant with a stranger’s child.
Tian Jing would often ridicule Fang Liu, reminding her that she came from a lowly background and that Fang Liu had a poor upbringing. Tian Jing felt that Fang Liu was no different from the group of servants in the Mo family home. Fang Liu marrying into the Mo family resembled a pheasant turning into a phoenix.
At first, Tian Jing’s words would anger and sadden Fang Liu. After all, anyone who heard such insults would feel uncomfortable. But there was nothing Fang Liu could do. If the two women argued, it would only bring about chaos, so Fang Liu decided to remain silent and ignore Tian Jian as much as she could.
