Chapter 18 - Cleaned Up

Xu Xiu carelessly interrupted Fang Liu, "Who taught you to speak that way? Was it your mother's lawyer or the Mo family? You want to claim the one hundred million yuan for yourself, am I right?"

"Our family has raised a dimwit like you for so many years. Don't you know how to be grateful? Yet you still say that we never feed you and provide you with clothes. Why didn't you tell us that you were pregnant with a stranger's child? You brought shame to our family! You shameless b*tch, if I would have found out earlier, I would have beaten you to death."

Fang Bin abruptly pulled Xu Xiu and said sternly, "Stop talking!" 

Fang Bin's voice trembled uncontrollably. Xu Xiu turned her head, and only then did she see Mo Yu standing at the door. Her face turned pale as though she had just seen a ghost.

Mo Yu calmly walked toward Fang Liu's side and pulled her into his warm embrace. Fang Liu felt that Mo Yu was exuding an extremely dangerous aura. It was as though Mo Yu was possessed by the fires of hell, wanting to burn everything down.

"So this was how you treated Fang Liu throughout all these years," Mo Yu said as the tone of his voice was as cold as never-melting ice.

"Young Master Mo, don't listen to this silly child's nonsense. Fang Liu had been a problem child ever since she was young. We treated her very well." Fang Bin desperately tried to explain. Xu Xiu and Fang Yan, standing beside him, did not dare utter a word since they saw Mo Yu.

With a wave of Mo Yu's hand, a group of bodyguards dressed in black rushed in and forcefully dragged the three members of the Fang family away.

Fang Liu had not expected Mo Yu to appear suddenly. Fang Liu was shocked as she felt a little uneasy. "Weren't you at work?"

Mo Yu touched Fang Liu's cheek and said with a gentle tone, "Did you get burned?"

Fang Liu shook her head and said, "No, Yu protected me."

"Alright, I will take good care of you." Mo Yu raised his hand and held Fang Liu in his arms as he said, "Sorry I'm late."

"What?" Fang Liu was confused. She thought that Mo Yu was talking about the hot coffee that was spilled. "It's okay. I'm not hurt."

Mo Yu regretted not appearing in Fang Liu's past to protect her from all the suffering she faced.

"How would you like me to deal with the Fang family?" Mo Yu asked.

"The members of the Fang family?" Fang Liu thought about how Mo Yu's bodyguards had forcefully dragged the Fang family away. 

She pondered before saying, "Give them a good beating."

Fang Liu had never done anything bad in her life. In her opinion, giving the Fang family a good beating was a good enough punishment.

Mo Yu didn't know if he should laugh. Fang Liu was being too kind. 'Forget it. I know how to deal with the Fang family.'

After dealing with the Fang family, Mo Yu did not return to work. Instead, he stayed home to accompany Fang Liu. 

Mo Yu leaned his back against the bed's headboard and pulled Fang Liu into his warm embrace. Fang Liu felt awkward and wanted to struggle. She still wasn't used to being so intimate with the opposite gender. Although Mo Yu was her husband by law, she had only known him for three days. Mo Yu continued to hug her tightly. Fang Liu could only allow it.

"I had originally wanted to ask you about your life before you married me. I never expected the Fang family to have treated you so terribly."

Mo Yu hugged his delicate and soft wife in his arms and said with a deep tone, "But all that doesn't matter anymore. You will never have to experience anything like that again. I promise you."

This was the first time that anyone had promised Fang Liu. She felt that this was all a little awkward. Originally Fang Liu was thinking of a way to divorce Mo Yu after the child was born.

Fang Liu's marriage to Mo Yu was just a beneficial contract. Fang Liu was grateful to Mo Yu for protecting her, but she did not have any feelings for him. But because Mo Yu was treating her well, Fang Liu's thoughts began to waver.

Mo Yu seemed to have fallen asleep. He hugged Fang Liu as though he was afraid of losing her. Fang Liu also fell into a deep sleep. When she awoke, she realized that something was wrong. Mo Yu did not seem to just be asleep.

Fang Liu could not get Mo Yu to wake up no matter how much she called out to him. Fang Liu began to panic as her voice trembled. "Mo Yu, wake up, don't scare me."
