Chapter 138: The Visit from Her Family
Translator: Lonelytree
For Mo Li, her focus was still on her studies. She only stayed on set for 2 days before she returned to school.
As an astute businesswoman, Nie Li posted the video of Mo Li saving Su He onto the internet. Cai Wei didn’t object to this, after all, it would help promote Lady in the Snow.

“Grandma, I brought home some water chestnuts. I remember there are some winter bamboo shoots and hams in the fridge, let’s make some dumplings for dinner!” Mo Li said as she walked into the front door. Then she saw her whole immediate family, including Mo Zheng were sitting there in the living room in perfect order. All eyes turned towards her. The only ones missing were Old Madam Mo and Ol’ Two.
Old Madam Mo was busy cooking in the kitchen. When she heard Mo Li, she immediately walked out to welcome her granddaughter with a smile. “Our sweetie is finally home. These water chestnuts are so fresh. Okay, we’ll make some dumplings.”
“Mom, let me help you...” Mo Yi stood up to help but Old Madam Mo ignored him, turned around and strode back into the kitchen, leaving him stranded.
“Li Li, mom has brought some changes of clothes for you. See if you like them.” Jiang Yao watched his daughter closely as if waiting for her approval. When Mo Li nodded, Jiang Yao finally sighed in relief.
Mo Yi and Jiang Yao heard from Mo Yun that Mo Li was reluctant to move back home. Elder Mo as well as Old Madam Mo also refused to let the girl move away either. Therefore, other than Ol’ Two who was abroad for work, the rest of the Mo Family had turned up at Elder Mo’s place.
Mo Yu looked at the unsettled and anxious Mo Family.?What if Mo Li is forced back home by her family and then bullied? And that Mo Zheng... he has been staring at Mo Li but he hasn’t said a word.?
He has done so many bad things to Mo Li. Who knows if he still holds a grudge or not...
?Mo Yu had made up his mind then, no matter what, he was going to stop them from taking Mo Li home!Mo Yi and Jiang Yao had been trying to have a discussion with Elder Mo about bringing Mo Li home but the cunning senior had been changing the topic on them. He refused to allow them the chance to talk about Mo Li’s possible move home.
On Mo Li’s part, she already knew the truth when she saw her immediate family turn up at the old residence. They probably were there to persuade her to go home but were too embarrassed to talk openly about it.
Old Madam Mo actually was still kind to Mo Yi and his family. Even though she didn’t have much to say to them, she still cooked a scrumptious dinner to serve them. Elder Mo told Mo Yi’s family to join them for dinner.

Mo Zheng had many things on his mind and he couldn’t bring himself to even have a single bite.
Mo Li glanced at the freshly wrapped dumplings and picked out around 20 of them. She fired up a wok and dropped a pork lard inside it. The oil melted and coated the wok.
When the temperature was right, Mo Li grabbed some spring onion and tossed them into the wok. The sizzling sound instantly caught everyone’s attention. Even Mo Zheng raised his head from the fragrant smell.
Mo Yi and Jiang Yao were shocked.?When did Mo Li learn how to cook?!
Old Madam Mo seemed to read their thoughts as she commented casually, “When a person is abandoned to fend for herself, she’ll naturally pick up some useful skills. After all, she has no one to rely on but herself.”
Hearing that, everyone present felt ashamed.
Mo Yi and Jiang Yao were ashamed because they had neglected Mo Li for so long; Mo Yun was ashamed because even though he had had so many dishes made by Mo Li, he never realized how grown and sensible Mo Li had become, she had even learned to take care of her family.
