Chapter 599 - REALLY PITIFUL

"ARE you planning to do something about it?" Mo Jian added, lifting her chin arrogantly.  "Knowing you, you probably won't.  Which is a good thing.  It's not like Dad will believe you anyway."

"Yes, yes, you have our have our father wrapped around your little finger," Mo Jiu said with no emotion in his voice, showing that he really didn't care about what the others said. 

Mo Jian appeared smug as if enjoying what the other said.  "You know, dear brother, if you just change your attitude a bit, Dad would surely treat you the way he treats me.  Try acting spoiled, rely on him, he likes that.  Oh, that probably still won't work since you don't look like our dead mother like I do."

The corner of Mo Jiu's eyes twitched a bit when he heard that last sentence.  Really, he wondered how this girl could be so stupid and unfeeling.  He felt like there's really no hope for the other.  Not that he cared.  It was at this moment that he was kind of glad that his attachment to his family was weak. 

If he was on his father's shoes, he would definitely be heartbroken.  Just imagining that he would be heartbroken because of this kind of person, he might just puke his guts out.

But Mo Jian's response was definitely helpful.  At least with this, he could probably leave here faster.  It's like even if he did the bare minimum, Mo Jian would still be able to ruin herself just by, well, being herself.  That only proved further how big of an idiot she was.  All that expensive tuition and she couldn't even learn to be smarter. 

"That kind of attitude will definitely get you into trouble someday," he only said.

Mo Jian wasn't fazed and only snorted.  "So what?  As long as Dad's there, he'll definitely do everything to get me out of trouble."

"Do you really think he will still do that even if you, let's just say, committed a crime?"

"Of course," Mo Jian didn't even hesitate to say.  "As my dear brother said, I got him wrapped around my finger.  Just a few bits of tears here and there and he would pretty much do everything that I wanted."

Mo Jiu once again thought; 'what an idiot'.  Or maybe this was because he was her brother that's why she was more confident in revealing her true self in front of him.  But he had a feeling that it was mostly because the other also knew him well.  So, she just assumed that there's no way what she's saying right now would reach their father's ears. 

Under normal circumstance, that would definitely be the case.  But too bad for her.  He just happened to make a deal with a little devil.  And so, she probably wouldn't get what she wanted this time around.

"Then, I wonder why Dad still hadn't done anything to that article on Weibo," he said nonchalantly.

Mo Jian furrowed his brows.  "What article?"

"Oh, you haven't read it?  That's weird," Mo Jiu tried to act surprised but he really couldn't.  His deadpan expression still remained.

It's a good thing that Mo Jian had been used to this kind of reaction, so, she didn't notice anything suspicious with the way he was acting.  All her focus was on that 'article' he mentioned.

"I don't have my phone with me," she said, obviously annoyed.  "So, just tell me what this article is about!"

Mo Jiu simply took out his phone, clicked Weibo, and then showed the other the article.

At first, Mo Jian's expression was still normal.  But as seconds went by, her expression became uglier and uglier.  Then he saw her raising his phone and about to throw it.  Good thing he already expected that kind of reaction.  So, he quickly grabbed his phone and took it back.

Mo Jian glared at him.  "What are you doing?"

"This is my phone.  If you want to break stuff, go and find something that doesn't belong to me," he said, putting his phone back in his pocket.

Mo Jian became even angrier hearing her brother's unemotional response.  This guy had always been like this.  No matter what's happening to her, he wouldn't react at all.  It's like the other was an emotionless doll who didn't have any desires or greed.  That's why he treated people all in the same manner. 

That's probably for the better.  If she's the only one he treated like that, she probably would go nuts and just hurt him.  After all, their siblings.  It's only natural that he took care of her, right?  But since that's not possible, she'd rather have him treat her the same as others.  Because if that's the case, then that meant no one was special for him.

No, she shouldn't be thinking about this guy's attitude right now.  That article was more important!  How dare those people say those things to her?  How dare them judge her?  Those comments, it's as if she's a murderer or something.

What do they care about those losers anyway?  Hypocrites!  For all she knew, they would have probably done the same thing.  Those losers just had that kind of smell in them.  Acting like they're so high and mighty when they're nothing but gutter rats.  Hah!

And that person who wrote that article.  She swore she would make them pay!

"How come this article is still up?  Dad hasn't done anything to get rid of this?"

"You better ask him," Mo Jiu shrugged.  "Since I've already done my duty of visiting you, I'll get going."

Mo Jian didn't answer and just bit her thumb's nail, muttering something.  She really looked out of it. 

Since he's already done here, he just simply walked out of the hospital room.  Outside, just as expected, his father was leaning on the wall beside the door.  Mo Jiu was certain that he had heard everything that he and Mo Jian had talked about.

Aside from the fact that he knew that the other never really left outside, the expression on his face just explained it all.  Pain, sadness, frustration, anger, loss – everything was written on his face. 

Although Mo Jiu wasn't that proficient when it came to human emotion, he could still see that.  Which only showed just how vivid those emotions were on his father's face.

For the first time in his life, Mo Jiu thought that the other was really pitiful.
