Mrs. Song’s face turned pale then green, for a moment, she was rendered speechless.
At this moment, Old Master Mo chuckled, “Little Pear, you saved this old man’s life in the mountains last time, and now you’ve saved the old lady. We can’t repay your life-saving grace, so I can only give Mo Shiting to you.”
“Grandpa…”
Seeing that the Old Master was making a joke in front of everyone, even the thick-skinned Gu Li blushed a little.
Mo Shiting added, “A grandson paying back his grandfather’s debts is not unprecedented.”
Gu Li:”…”
Thanks to Mrs. Song’s interference, the tense atmosphere eased considerably.
“Servant, serve the tea.”
The Old Master summoned a servant.
The servant quickly served the tea and respectfully retreated.
Soon the large living room was left with just the four of them.
The old lady drank some warm water and felt much better.
Fearing another incident, she no longer dared to lose her temper and tried to calm herself down. “Family should never leave each other in difficult times, I still hope you could let Wan Yao live. Shiting, think of it as your grandmother begging you.”
Perhaps it was because she had never visibly lowered her stance before anyone in her life, her sad voice made anyone who heard it feel a bit melancholic.
Gu Li lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Actually, she didn’t insist on taking revenge on Wan Yao, she would listen to Mo Shiting.
Mo Shiting’s well-defined fingers tapped on the armrest of the sofa, his slightly squinted eyes deep and inscrutable.
The Old Master’s heart softened, but thinking of Wan Yao’s evil intentions towards Gu Li, he felt he couldn’t tolerate it. It was too unfair to Little Pear.
So, he simply buried his head and drank his tea, deciding to stay out of it.
How could Gu Li not see the inner struggle in the Old Master’s heart?
Her eyes flickered, she decided to speak up: “Brother Ting, maybe we should let it go.”

Her soft words immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
Old Master Mo looked grateful.
He saw that Little Pear didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable.
Such a thoughtful child, the Mo family had indeed wronged her.
After all, it was clear to everyone that if not for the CCTV footage, she would have been the one arrested…
The old lady’s eyes widened, her expression surprised. She couldn’t believe the words “let it go” came from Gu Li’s mouth.
However, Mo Shiting disagreed vehemently, “Grandmother, this incident was a slap in the face for me, Mo Shiting! No matter who intercedes, it won’t work,” he declared, then suddenly stood, “I’m sorry, I have to go, please take care.”
“Shiting, you–”
The old lady didn’t expect that Mo Shiting would still not relent. She was particularly upset and seemed to have aged several years instantly.
Gu Li felt sorry for her, she got up and took Mo Shiting’s arm, saying to the old lady, “I’ll persuade him, you should take care of your health.”
The old lady looked at her with a complex expression, her lips parted as if to say something, but Mo Shiting interrupted her, “Let’s go.”
He finished speaking, then dragged Gu Li away.
The two left the room quickly.
Old Master Mo glanced at the old lady, sighed meaningfully, “Shiting has always been stubborn, he doesn’t listen to anyone, but hopefully, he can listen to Little Pear.”
The old lady’s face was ashen, “I never imagined that I, as his grandmother, have no place in his heart…”
Mo Shiting dragged Gu Li out of the main house, walked a long distance, then finally let go of her hand.
Seeing that he looked upset and had an aura of hostility, and fearing that the matter was not as simple as it seemed, Gu Li asked with concern, “Are you okay?”
