2. Marks of identity

Mo Ling changed out of her sweaty clothes and opened the drawer beside her bed. There's a pair of contact lenses and a red diamond stud.

She wore them and lifted her eyes to see herself. Her eyes are now black and only with great concentration you can see a little green in them.

Her left ear mole was covered by a red diamond and can barely be seen.

Her green eyes and her ear mole are her clear marks of identity.

It's not yet time to reveal her identity. She needs to strike and weaken the enemy's foundation when they are not aware.

She has to build her strength and slowly torture them like how they tortured her.

She walked out and went downstairs from the second floor under the surprised gazes of helpers.

"Young Master Mo.. How are you feeling?" Butler Wang inquired after his initial surprise. Somehow he feels that Young Master Mo’s aura is very different right now than before. He subconsciously feels reverent to him..

"I'm fine. Prepare Breakfast."

"Yes. Right away."

Mo Ling came to the dining hall only to see Bi Ruixi staring at her with ruthless eyes.

She ignored her and pulled a chair diagonal to her to sit down. But someone doesn't want to let her eat in peace..

"Mo Ling, you bastard! How dare you sit at the dining table when I'm having breakfast here.. Hurry Up and Get Lost!"

"Is this the manners of the great Bi family? Should I call Old Master Bi and ask whether I should change the way I behave to yours..?" Mo Ling asked with a straight face with a sharp glint underneath it.

Butler Wang, who is on his way out to serve breakfast, almost slipped his step when he heard her words.

'Is this the calm and unassuming Young Master Mo? The Mo Ling who always stays out of trouble and sucks up every insult thrown at him?'

Bi Ruixi was stunned and even felt a little fear seeing her harsh eyes.. but soon got angered to the point where her face would burst open from all the blood rushing to her head.

With a red face she scolded Mo Ling, "Are you tired of living? You've got guts now that you're going to join my family?"

Mo Ling couldn't care less about this girl and her whines.. she slowly ate the plain porridge with some elegance in her every movement. It is hard to notice unless one notices it closely.

When Old Master Bi brought her to the Bi family when she was fifteen years old, everyone thought that she was an illegitimate child of Master Bi.

Old Master Bi was afraid that she might get bullied because of this misunderstanding. But if he did a paternity test to prove that she was not Bi family's child then her gender will be revealed. So he didn't dare to do it in the end.

Mo Ling resented him for the past three years for making her pretend to be a boy and also blamed him for the injustice she suffered due to the rumors of her being the 'illegitimate son' of Bi family.

She didn't understand at first.. why did she have to pretend to be a boy? And why did Old Master keep quiet even when she's suffering due to this misunderstanding?

But after four whole years of torture in that rusty prison and on her last breath she knew the reason.

It's to protect her and it's because of her identity that she shouldn't reveal her gender.

Buzzzzz…..

The phone beside her vibrated to show the incoming call. She came out of her thoughts and placed her chopsticks on the table to pick up her phone only to see the caller ID 'Old Master Bi'.

Her eyes clouded and turned misty.

She answered the call to hear the voice which she missed the most.
