novelThe Truth?

Mo Yi and Mo Yun groaned with ill portent but Qiao Qing's eyes flashed with excitement. ?Mo Li will never be a threat to me after this!
"So you're all here! Li Li is back! Why didn't you come out to welcome her?" Mother Mo led Mo Li into Mo Zheng's room, not sensing the tension in the air. She thought they were here to talk to Mo Zheng, persuading him to be kinder to Mo Li so that their family could exist harmoniously.
"Li Li, go and greet your third brother, he has missed you so much."
Miss me? Sure, if wanting to kill me counts as missing me. ?Mo Li looked around and believed she had come home at the wrong time.
As she expected, Mo Zheng in bed started to rile up again. He glared viciously at Mo Li and struggled to get down from bed.
"You bitch! All of you are colluding against me! I will kill you!
"How can you steal my endorsement deal? Whose bed did Nie Li send you to for you to get this endorse..."
Before Mo Zheng finished, Mo Li walked over and gave him a slap on his face. The resounding slap stunned Mo Zheng as well as everyone else present.
What is happening?
"You..." Mo Zheng was at a loss for words.
Mo Li said calmly, "When you were at the hospital, I didn't say anything because I was worried about your health. But now you're already on the way to recovery but you insist on harming your own health. If you don't care about yourself, why should we help with your recovery?"
"Big Sister, how can you talk to Brother Zheng like that? You knew better than to use violence..." Qiao Qing tried to mediate but internally she wished Mo Li would act more arrogantly.
It finally registered in Mo Zheng's mind was that he was just slapped by his own sister. The anger ran through his veins. He struggled to sit up and grabbed at the things on the table to throw at Mo Li. However, due to the shot administered by Doctor Lu earlier, his body was extremely weak and he almost fell off the bed.
Mo Li couldn't help but frown seeing Mo Zheng like this.
Mo Li saw the man in the white coat and she demanded, "Since the patient is in such an irritable state, shouldn't he be in restraints?"
Mo Yi hurriedly cut in, "Mo Li! Don't be rude, this is Doctor Lu, we..."
"You're right." Lu Xuan agreed with Mo Li and took out two straps of restraint from his medic kit. This surprised both Mo Yun and Mo Yi. The two of them had been begging the hospital for more than 2 months just to have a meeting with Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan never responded to their request so why was he so compliant towards Mo Li's demands?
Qiao Qing was also in disbelief. She had heard of Lu Xuan before. Why would someone of Doctor Lu's status heed Mo Li's advice?
"Doc, Doctor Lu..." Mo Yi couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. Lu Xuan had refused many times his request to take a look at Mo Zheng. So why did Lu Xuan pick today of all day to come visit Mo Family, the day when Mo Li was supposed to come home?
Mo Yi was reminded of what Mo Zheng said earlier. Could Mo Li have been sent to the doctor's bed...
Seeing the devastation on Mo Yi's face, Mo Li knew that her father was getting himself worried over nothing again. However, Mo Li too was confused by the doctor's readiness to take her suggestion. It did feel out of place.
Mo Zheng was very displeased with Mo Li's behavior. He was cursing and swearing. Neither of his parents knew what to say. They also didn't expect Mo Li's attitude to change all of a sudden. Instead of her usual aloofness, she was resolute and determined.
"Li... Li Li..." Mother Mo was surprised. She didn't know what happened to her daughter.
"Mom, do you mind bringing the projector here?" Mo Li turned to tell Mother Mo.
"The projector? Why would you need that now?" Mo Yun asked. ?What is she up to this time?
Before he could find out, Mo Yu was already bouncing in with the projector. He had been standing at the door for a long time already. He just hadn't found the chance to jump in. When Mo Li slapped Mo Zheng, Mo Yu felt so satisfied.
Mo Yu learned from Elder Mo that there was no evidence except Mo Zheng's statement that Mo Li was the culprit of the hit and run. Mo Yu had long since suspected Mo Zheng was lying, just to frame Mo Li.
Furthermore, Mo Yu noticed that Mo Li had used lesser force on the slap compared to when she whipped him. Mo Zheng should consider himself lucky already.
"Kid, when did you get here?" Mo Yi frowned.
Mo Yu greeted his elders and then hurried to set up the projector.
Mother Mo was about to say something when Mo Li announced, "I've found the cam footage from the day of Mo Zheng's car accident." She shook the USB drive as proof.
The moment she said that, Qiao Qing's heart quivered and she shouted, "Mo Li, how could you do this? Even if Brother Zheng doesn't forgive you, you can't forge the evidence to lie to everyone!"
Mo Li turned around to look at Qiao Qing, her face turned up with a contemptuous smile. ?The show hasn't even started and you're already so nervous?
Mo Li answered, " Why don't we watch the footage together and then we can decide whether it's forged or not."
