Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man Chapter 68 - A Conversation Between Men

Chapter 68: A Conversation Between Men

Looking at the thin youth on the bed, Mo Yan couldn’t control her tears. He was fine a few days ago, how did it suddenly turn out like this?

Thinking of this, Mo Yan recalled the doctor’s words again: ‘Kicks and bruises, new and old injuries.’

Although it was very likely to be school violence, she still needed to confirm it with Mo Cheng.

Mo Yan’s tears fell on the back of Mo Cheng’s hand, which was on the drip. Vaguely, Mo Cheng’s fingers seemed to move. Mo Yan looked up in surprise, but the truth was that Mo Cheng was still asleep.

The door of the ward was pushed open. Mo Yan did not turn around until a coat was draped over her body. Luo Tao took another chair and sat beside Mo Yan.

“Don’t worry. The doctor said that Mo Cheng will wake up when he has rested enough.”

“Okay.”

Mo Yan replied in a low voice. Luo Tao held her in his arms, and her gaze was still fixed on the young man. She did not have anything to say. Mo Yan only felt that she was really useless. She could not protect everyone around her.

The next day, Mo Yan initially wanted to accompany Mo Cheng to school. However, she had just applied for leave the day before yesterday. If she continued to apply for leave, not only would the company be unhappy with her, but her gossipy colleagues would gossip about her more. In addition to the rumors and gossip from before, she would be punished even more.

Other than paying for her mother’s medical fees, their food, clothing, and transportation, she also had to pay more attention to Mo Cheng. Thus, she could not afford to lose this job.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mo Yan still made the decision to go to work. She entrusted Mo Cheng to Luo Tao.

At this time, she was not in the mood to deal with Luo Tao. She could only tell him that Mo Cheng was a very important person to her, hoping that Luo Tao could help her take good care of Mo Cheng.

Luo Tao did not ask any more questions and gently agreed to Mo Yan’s request.

For the current Mo Yan, Luo Tao was the only person she could rely on.

Not long after Mo Yan left, Luo Tao picked up an apple and slowly peeled it. He said, “She’s gone. You can get up now.”

Seeing that the person on the bed still had no reaction, Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly. “You want to continue to pretend?”

Seeing that he could not continue to pretend, Mo Cheng could only open his eyes and look at his brother-in-law.

“Tell me, why?” Luo Tao lowered his head and continued to move his hands. The entire apple skin was slowly hanging down in a straight line.

Mo Cheng lowered his head and did not answer. His entire person looked listless.

“If you want your sister to be worried all the time, then continue to be like this.” Luo Tao said casually.

Mo Cheng held it in for a long time before he finally said, “I’m really fine. It’s just that studying is too tiring.”

“It must be quite tiring. So tiring that reading a book can give you a body full of injuries.”

Mo Cheng was at a loss for words. He was stunned by his brother-in-law’s words.

“It’s just a few seniors. They borrowed some money from me, and there was some dispute in the middle, so…” speaking to this point, Mo Cheng found himself unable to continue.

Luo Tao raised his eyebrows and smiled as he took the words out of Mo Chong’s mouth. “There are senior students who think that you are easy to bully and want money from you, but if you don’t have money, you get beaten up? Is that it?”

Although Mo Cheng did not admit it, Luo Tao was already certain that what he said was the truth.

Looking at Mo Cheng’s side profile, Luo Tao realized that he looked somewhat similar to Mo Yan. Luo Tao’s originally mocking thoughts gradually faded away. The two of them were quite similar in some ways, but Mo Yan had slowly matured through experience, while Mo Cheng was still an ignorant student.

It was natural to be afraid of senior students who were taller than him, stronger than him, and had formed cliques. However, blindly backing down would only increase the arrogance of such people.

Before Luo Tao could speak, Mo Cheng spoke first.

“Brother-in-law, am I really useless? Whenever I encounter something, I always have to ask my sister for help.”

Luo Tao didn’t say anything, but he muttered in his heart. This brat was quite self-aware.

“I know I shouldn’t have given them money, but I’m really afraid. I can’t beat them, I have no choice.”

Then, Mo Cheng’s box of chatter seemed to be split open, and he spoke out all his grievances. Luo Tao was shocked, but he did not dare to interrupt him. He could only listen to his rambling while sending a message to Qin Yuan, asking him to get a man’s watch with a camera hidden in it. It did not have to be an expensive watch. It just had to be functional.

“Brother-in-law, I really don’t dare to tell my sister about this. I’m afraid that she will be worried.”

Mo Cheng ended with this sentence. Luo Tao could not help but secretly sigh in relief. It was finally over.

As he took a piece of the peeled apple toward Mo Cheng’s mouth, Luo Tao said, “Eat!”
