With Meng Ran’s additional explanation, Mo Zhu said coldly, “Let’s leave today’s matter at that for now. Listen up. Jiang Yu is under my protection. If there’s a next time, I’ll let you experience what true despair is!”

After saying this, Mo Zhu moved her feet that were stepping on Du Wei’s knees away and walked to Jiang Yu and Meng Ran to help the girl up. “Are you alright? Where are you hurt?”

Jiang Yu looked up and met Mo Zhu’s concerned gaze. Her eyes were already wet. “It’s alright. They haven’t had the chance to touch me.”

“Then what about your face?” Mo Zhu reached out and gently touched the girl’s young face.

“This…” Jiang Yu lowered her head and stammered, unwilling to say another word.

Seeing Jiang Yu like this made Mo Zhu even angrier. She felt even angrier about this than when Jiang Yu was bullied.

Mo Zhu stopped in her tracks and refused to leave. She roared expressionlessly, “Are you going to tell me or not! If you don’t, I’ll kill this woman!”

This threat was indeed useful. Jiang Yu immediately explained the cause.

“They beat me up a few days ago…”

Gently holding Mo Zhu’s hand, Jiang Yu said worriedly, “Sister Xiao Zhu, let’s leave this matter as it is. They won’t bully me in the future.”

Mo Zhu still had that cold look on her face as she stood rooted to the ground and did not say a word.

Meng Ran looked around. “Sister Mo, don’t be angry. Xiao Yu is also worried that you will teach Du Wei a lesson in a fit of anger. She will find trouble with you in the future…”

“We should send Xiao Yu home to rest first!”

Mo Zhu’s dark eyes stared fixedly at Jiang Yu. After a long while, she replied softly, “Meng Ran, go to the office and help Jiang Yu and I apply for leave. I’ll send her back now!”

She called the driver of the Huo family and instructed him. Soon, the two of them got into the car.

Huo Xuan and Xu Huan were also in the car with the driver. They had just fetched Mo Zhu to the school gate not long ago, but who would have thought that before they even reached the office, they would be called back by this girl’s phone call.

“What happened? Little Bamboo, what’s this?” Once Mo Zhu and Jiang Yu got into the car, Xu Huan asked curiously.

“It’s my friend. Please drive the car to the Zhong residence.”

The Zhong family? There were still a few families with the surname Zhong in Cloud City, but there was only one with a reputation.

After understanding Mo Zhu’s intentions, the driver did not delay and started the car.

“The Zhong family? Is this a girl from the Zhong family? Didn’t I hear that the Zhong family only has one son? Where did this daughter come from?”

Xu Huan scratched his head, and his words revealed a strand of bewilderment.

Mo Zhu squinted slightly. “She’s not a child of the Zhong family. She’s just staying there for the time being…”

After hearing the girl’s explanation, Xu Huan wanted to continue speaking, but his hand was suddenly pressed down by someone. The man looked up in surprise and met Huo Xuan’s gaze.

Xu Huan shook his head and fell silent.

The inside of the car was silent for a long time before they arrived at the Zhong family’s mansion in Cloud City.

“Can you go back by yourself?” Mo Zhu opened the car door and asked Jiang Yu.

The girl bit her lip and replied, “Sure. Jiang Yu thanks Sister Xiao Zhu for today.”

Seeing Jiang Yu’s figure disappear behind the Zhong family’s main door, Mo Zhu frowned and looked up at Huo Xuan, who had been silent all this while. “Do you have a computer in the car?”

The man nodded and grabbed a laptop from the chair behind him easily and pushed it into Mo Zhu’s hand.

Mo Zhu did not say anything. She turned on the computer and started typing. Her fair and slender fingers typed quickly on the keyboard, giving Xu Huan, who was watching quietly, a fright.

“Oh my god, Little Bamboo, your hand speed is too fast. If you go and compete, your strength is comparable to the Essence Soul!”

Although Huo Xuan could hold back more than Xu Huan, he was also clearly shocked by the girl’s actions.

The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. The man thought silently in his heart that his little fiancée was indeed extraordinary. Every time he understood her a little more, she would bring him more surprises.

Before Xu Huan could give Mo Zhu a thumbs up and praise her, the computer screen that the girl had placed on her lap had already displayed all the cameras in the Zhong family.

In the middle of the screen, the huge living room of the Zhong family appeared in real time. Jiang Yu, who had just entered the house, opened the door and walked in.

Upon hearing some noise at the door, the first person who appeared in the camera’s range ]was the Zhong family’s nanny who had a smile on her face. When the middle-aged woman saw that it was Jiang Yu, she immediately wiped the smile off her face and gave the girl a cold look before turning around to continue with her work.

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Zhu’s hands that were placed on the chair clenched tightly.

Even an ordinary servant of the Zhong family looked down on Jiang Yu. It was obvious how tough her life was at home.

The scene was still moving frame by frame. Jiang Yu, who had finished changing her shoes in the living room, was obviously used to the nanny’s attitude. She lowered her head and coughed lightly twice before walking up the stairs.

Right at this moment, the sound of a door opening suddenly came from the second floor, and a woman appeared on the screen.

Mo Zhu found this person familiar.. She was the mistress of the Zhong family, Qiu Ying.
