Chapter 368: Chapter 368: She Will Be Driven Out After Marrying into the Li Family Too
Tong Mo couldn’t wait to share a al with him, and she nodded repeatedly, “Then I won’t be polite, Teacher!”
“Why should you be polite? You were the one who made all the dishes.” Zhuo Wen felt like he was the one who should be courteous.
“But the ingredients are from your ho…” Tong Mo cheekily winked at him before turning around to serve the rice.
Zhuo Wen smiled helplessly, “I can’t win an argunt with you.”
During the al, Tong Mo subtly probed for information, “Teacher, is your family from this city?”
“Yes,” Zhuo Wen nodded as he ate.
Tong Mo nibbled on her chopsticks and curiously asked, “Then don’t you live with your parents?”
ntioning this, a tinge of lancholy appeared on Zhuo Wen’s face, “I’m from a single-parent family. My father was diagnosed with kidney disease a couple of years ago and is currently undergoing treatnt in the hospital. It’s just unfortunate that we cannot find a kidney donor.”
“It’s okay, just wait a bit longer, and you will surely find one. There are still many kind-hearted people in society.” Tong Mo hurried to comfort him, and as she did, she made a ntal note of his situation, thinking about how she might use the Tong family’s influence to help find a suitable kidney donor for his father.
After the al was finished, Tong Mo took the bowls and chopsticks to the sink to wash them.
To stay at Zhuo Wen’s house a bit longer, Tong Mo washed very slowly, stealing glances at Zhuo Wen, who was sitting on the sofa grading papers.
Even though she washed slowly, eventually she had finished.
Looking at the clean dishes in her hands, Tong Mo sighed and then placed them in the disinfection cabinet before she walked over to him leisurely, “Teacher, um, I should be going back now…”
“I’ll walk you out,” Zhuo Wen imdiately put down the papers he was marking and accompanied her downstairs.
He only returned after seeing her off to her house.
When Tong Mo got ho, just as she entered the hallway, she saw the whole family waiting for her.
She couldn’t help but pause, not understanding what was going on today.
They never used to wait for her to co back before starting the al.
At the head of the table, Tong Aiguo, seeing her finally return, slamd the table in anger, “You dead girl, why are you coming back so late!”
“And to think you’re the elder sister. Your younger sister knows better, knows to co straight ho after school!” Tong Aiguo said, comparing Tong Mo with Tong Nian.
Tong Mo’s expression remained indifferent, as if she was already used to it.
After all, it wasn’t the first ti. In the eyes of her worthless dad, Tong Nian was always the good one, and she was always the irredeemable one.
“I…” Just as she was about to fabricate so excuse to get through the situation as before, she heard her stepmother, standing up for her dad’s mistress, speak.
“My dear, calm down. Momo is a young lady now; maybe she went to a boy’s house after school to hang out,” Liu Zhi patted Tong Aiguo’s back as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Tong Mo imdiately thought: crap, that’s adding fuel to the fire!
True enough, Tong Aiguo’s face turned dark upon hearing those words, and he banged the table, “She wouldn’t dare!”
Even if it was his unwelco daughter, he could not allow her to tarnish the Tong family’s reputation.
“Liu Zhi, I warn you, if you have nothing sensible to say, then shut your mouth!”
Tong Mo clenched her fists tight, wishing she could slap her twice right then and there.
In fact, her stepmother’s attempt to embarrass her today was quite surprising, as usually, she would play the part of the sweet, demure lady in front of her terrible dad, scarcely slandering her in front of Tong Aiguo.
But today, an exception occurred.
And Tong Nian, who was studying abroad and doing well, had inexplicably returned to the country for reasons unknown.
Just as Tong Mo was sensing that sothing fishy was going on, Tong Aiguo spoke again, “Tong Mo, is this how you speak to your mother? With your behavior, even if you marry into the Li family, you’ll be thrown out eventually!”
