The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex

Chapter 1437 - My Parents Are up to No Good

The woman giggled and looked straight at Mo Ling.

"You're really handsome," she said with a bright smile after she studied him.

Mo Ling was speechless and didn't know how to react.

He had to admit that he was handsome but he felt a little ill at ease when that woman praised him.

"Is her head injury serious?" he asked as he turned to her mother because he noticed that there was a bandage at the back of her forehead, as though she had sustained injuries there.

The middle-aged woman pasted a polite smile on her face and said, "Mr. Mo, Fei Fei has injured her head but this isn't a serious injury. She underwent minor surgery and the doctor removed the blood clots sustained from her head injury. She fractured her arm but the surgery was very successful and the doctor said that she would be as good as new in a few months."

The middle-aged woman told Mo Ling everything she knew about her daughter's condition.

Mo Ling nodded.

He looked at that woman and had to admit that there was something strange about her expression. She had been staring at him the moment he walked through the door earlier and she had stared so intently that she didn't even blink.

Was he that handsome?

He suddenly had an urge to find out more about her and the reason why his interest had been piqued was because he had heard their exchange before he stepped into the hospital room and it seemed like the woman had gone to Mingchuan Road to do an experiment.

He wondered what would compel a girl to head to a road with barely any cars to conduct an experiment.

"Mom, could you please step out for a moment? I'd like to speak privately with Mr. Mo," she said.

Mo Ling was surprised by her actions and frowned as he looked at her in confusion.

This was technically their first meeting because the woman had been unconscious when he had first come across her, so there was no way she had seen him.

Yet, she was behaving as though she treated him like a friend and even tried to send her mother out of the room to speak to him.

The woman urged her mother to leave when she saw that she seemed reluctant to leave.

Mo Ling gave the middle-aged woman a dismissive wave and said, "Auntie, why don't you step out for a bit?"

He was curious to know what she wanted to tell him when it was only their first meeting.

He wondered if it had been love at first sight for her.

Alright, he suddenly felt as though he had become a little narcissistic.

The woman watched as her mother left the room but when she saw that the door was left ajar, she asked, "Could I trouble you to close the door?"

Mo Ling paused and he was even more confused than before. Nonetheless, he helpfully shut the door.

He sat in front of her and there was a small smile as he studied the woman in confusion.

Could she be hiding something?

Suddenly, the woman shrank back and her smile was wiped from her face. She seemed a little frightened.

Mo Ling didn't understand what could have brought about such a drastic change.

What kind of act was she putting on? Was she an attention-seeker?

Mo Ling couldn't help but wonder if the car accident had caused this woman to behave abnormally.

He was about to speak when she lowered her voice, sidled up to Mo Ling, and whispered, "My parents are up to no good. They are very bad people!"

His eyes suddenly widened and there was a look of disbelief on his face.
