Gu Li, perplexed and annoyed by the harsh words, was just about to retort when Mo Shiting beat her to it, saying, "Grandmother, to slander so recklessly is not becoming of your stature as an elder."
"Are you accusing me of slander?"
Mrs. Song trembled with anger, her hand shaking.
"Isn't it? On what grounds does she deserve such baseless accusations from you?"
"You—"
"Grandmother, Grandfather is still receiving treatment. I don't wish to argue with you."
Mo Shiting finished coldly, leading Gu Li away, when the elderly lady grabbed him. "Mo Shiting, have you lost all respect for your family? You would defend this jinx?"
Jinx again?
Gu Li rolled her eyes in frustration.
It seemed the old lady detested her to the point where she could conjure up a plethora of insults at any given moment. Wasn't she beloved by all who met her, as beautiful as a blossoming flower? Why couldn't she earn the old lady's approval?
