Bab 124: Mo Shenbai, I Like You (1)

"She doesn't want you to worry," Mo Shenbai said bluntly, "You know she's afraid of causing trouble for the people around her."

Xu Jialu calmed down and returned to his seat. He recalled how Xu Youyou would smile and say that she was fine, telling him not to worry. She had always been like that, afraid of troubling others. She was afraid of being a burden, afraid of being abandoned by her family again. This was all his parents' fault. No, it was also his fault.

"Are you sure you can take good care of her?" Xu Jialu asked skeptically.

"I can't take good care of her, do you think you can take good care of her if you come over?" Mo Shenbai retorted.

Xu Jialu scoffed before he said, "Then, I'll have to ask the great Chairman Mo to lower himself and take good care of my sister. I'll look after your company for you. It won't close down. Don't worry."

Mo Shenbai did not respond.
