Capítulo 31: Let me go!

While Wen Gui tried his best to coax Mo Qiang who was sulking, Shao Hui looked at the clear water in the container. In the past when he saw Mo Qiang grit her teeth and curse her fate for not being able to awaken, he secretly enjoyed that sight, in his eyes, it was retribution for making him and his brothers cry tears of blood.

But now, Mo Qiang awakened? And she awakened powers that were rarest among all? How can this be? !!

He refused to believe it! With that thought in his head, he looked at Mo Xifeng and asked in a soft yet firm voice, "Sister-in-law, are you really sure that this was something that was purified by her? I mean there is no way she can do something like this, after all, Qiang'er is way past the age where one can awaken."

Wen Gui paused in his coaxing as he turned to look at Shao Hui, he wanted to say something but he decided to ignore Shao Hui. Do not think that he had no idea what was going on in the head of these mers which was why he never liked them in the first place but his wife thought that they were pitiful and sometimes overlooked their actions.

' Even if you cannot trust them, you should trust Xifeng. She will never do anything that will disrespect her sister no matter what the situation.' This was what his wife told him and as much as he hated to admit it, he did trust Mo Xifeng more than the three mers after all Mo Xifeng was indebted to him for taking her in when her own father abandoned her in the streets and raising her!

Wen Gui turned to look at his daughter while leaving Shao Hui alone, he will let his wife and Mo Xifeng deal with him but for now, consoling Mo Qiang was his priority!

He continued to coax Mo Qiang who was feeling even worse with the taunt that Shao Hui threw her way. What was this? Why was everyone acting like this? She did something good, where was her praise damn it? Mo Qiang felt like she was once again back in her company where no one cared about her hard work and only knew how to complain without any bonus added!

And here she could not even say, ' I quit!'

" Qi Qi, do not listen to that little snarling cat, he is like that…come on, look at daddy, I have prepared chicken porridge for you today," Wen Gui saw that his daughter was not eating properly these days which was why he used some of his savings and then brought some rice and chicken for his daughter.

Sure enough, when he used food to lure Mo Qiang out of her shell, the latter turned over and looked at him with a blank look on her face and stretched out her hand before showing two fingers to her father.

" I want two bowls." She declared not giving the mer any chance to refuse.

" Sure, Sure…you can eat as much as you want." Wen Gui was happy when he heard that Mo Qiang was willing to talk to him but then he heard Shao Hui say, " You must be the one who awakened this power, sister-in-law! There is no need for you to lie for Qiang!"

" You little——" Wen Gui felt his patience snap as he whipped his head to glare at Wen Gui but he was interrupted by Mo Xifeng who shook her head and very honestly said, " No, brother-in-law Hui. This is something that sister Qiang did on her own, I will not lie about something like this."

Shao Hui heard Mo Xifeng's words and bit his lips before turning to look at Mo Qiang who was sitting on the couch with Wen Gui holding her hands, his eyes turned red as he shook his head violently and exclaimed, " I am never going to drink this water! Never!"

With that, he turned around and ran out while picking up his mask that was sitting on the cabinet next to the door.

" Fine! Don't drink it!" Wen Gui was not the cruel father-in-law who bullied his sons-in-law but sometimes enough was enough, his daughter was changing her way and also awakened her powers and yet this mer was talking to her like this, how can he not be upset?

" Gui Gui, calm down," Mo Yan knew that her husband was upset with his sons-in-law who were more close to Mo Xifeng than Mo Qiang but the thing was that Mo Qiang was not as innocent either. She walked towards her husband and then patted him on the shoulder as she softly coaxed him, " You need to understand that Hui'er is not in the wrong either, he lost almost everything."

When Wen Gui remembered that his daughter had caused Shao Hui's dream to break into pieces, half of his anger vanished in an instant. He knew that if he was in the shoes of Shao Hui, he too would have never been able to forgive Mo Qiang easily either which was why he sighed and did not speak.

However, his scream caused Yin Fu and Xie Jie to come down from the second floor as they looked at the tense atmosphere in the living room.

" What happened?" Yin Fu asked with a polite voice, he firmly believed that his in-laws had no idea what was going on in his head or the others. Thus, he continued to act as an understanding son-in-law.

Wen Gui looked at Yin Fu and then shook his head before excusing himself, leaving Mo Yan with her daughters and sons-in-law. Since his wife was the one who wanted to act like they were blind, she should also be the one who should be putting up with this act.

Yin Fu did not know that Wen Gui had some suspicions towards him instead he thought that his father-in-law simply disliked him like every other father-in-law.
