Mu Ru ru was brought back to the Dongfang house by Dongfang Jun that evening. Dongfang Jun had accompanied her to the hospital as well. Dongfang Yu, who had gone through a lot of trouble to save her the previous night, left her with Dongfang Jun in the hospital.
There was a large bandage on Mu Ru's forehead. It was rare to see her bangs out of the way.
The doctor had said that Mu Ru's wound was not very serious, but she still received a few stitches. Mu Ru already had a birthmark the size of a thumb on her forehead anyway, so the wound did not seem to bother her that much. She wasn't a vain person who bothered too much about her own appearance.
When she arrived, Dongfang Mei greeted her. Dongfang Mei was very worried about her. She softly asked, "What happened?" Mu Ru answered, "I went to my classmate's house, and I bumped my forehead there."
Mu Ru had already crafted a story with the help of Dongfang Jun. She explained, "My classmate's family is not rich and lives in a village in the city. The lights were out and the streets were very dark. It was my first time going there, and I wasn't familiar with the place. I bumped into a utility pole in the dark."
Dongfang Mei simply believed Mu Ru. She just smiled and said, "Fortunately, you weren't wounded anywhere else. It doesn't matter. When the gauze is removed, you can conceal the scar with your bangs. You'll still be the original Xi Muru. Don't be bothered by your scar."
Mu Ru nodded. She was about to continue when Xi Muxue, who had walked in from the door, said, "Aunt Gu, you're absolutely right. Anyway, no matter how many scars she gets, she'll still be ugly. How will it affect her?"
Xi Muru and Dongfang Mei were stunned for a moment and looked at each other.
Dongfang Mei frowned. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a deep and hoarse voice from the elevator. "Who are you calling ugly?"
Everyone was shocked. They turned around and saw that Dongfang Mo had just arrived. The cap on his head was still lowered so no one saw the expression on his face. However, his voice clearly showed that he was angry.
Xi Muxue knew that what she had said was offensiv, and she cowered in fear. She hated Dongfang Mo so much and deeply detested him. She believed that Dongfang Mo was even uglier than Xi Muru's birthmark.
She knew she could not say such things in Dongfang Mo's presence. She quickly lowered her head and said, "I didn't say anything about Big Brother. I was talking about Mu Ru, actually—"
"Xi Muru is my wife," Dongfang Mo interrupted Xi Muxue coldly. "Remember that as long as my name is on it, it belongs to me, Dongfang Mo, and I won't allow anyone to be disrespectful to anything that's mine. We can forget about this instance. The next time I hear you say something like that, I won't forgive you, so don't blame me."
Xi Muxue was so frightened that she did not dare say a word. She could only curse in her heart. 'This d*mn Dongfang Mo. Why isn't his skin cancer worsening yet? Why is he back? Isn't he supposed to be in America? It's only been a few days. And why is he still alive?'
