"Ah Gui!" Mo Yan reached out to pull the mer back, but Wen Gui simply shrugged her off and charged at Old Master Mo like a ballistic beast. He clutched the mer's throat and pushed him down on the floor.
"You are the one who caused my daughter to be harmed like this. What's wrong with you? Isn't it enough that our family gave you and that precious daughter of yours all our wealth!?" Wen Gui questioned Old Master Mo as he tightened his hold on the mer's throat. He felt furious, upset and guilty. He should have killed this family when he had the time; now look at what they have done to his daughter.
Old Master Mo never expected Wen Gui to lose his temper with him like this. He raised his hands and kicked his feet, trying to free himself from the mer. However, Wen Gui was frighteningly strong; he was a mer and yet his strength was not any less than a woman's.
Only the heavens knew what kind of training this mer had gone through to become this strong.
"Wh–what are you doing?" Old Master Mo coughed and sputtered. With his bony hands tied around Wen Gui's hands, he stammered, "Are you g–going to kill me? I am your father-in-law! I am the elder of this family—this is not how you should be treating me."
Old Master Mo could only use his seniority to make Wen Gui let go of him. However, it only angered Wen Gui. Elders? What kind of elders were they? They were not only unreasonably biased; they also treated their family like they were just alive to be their stepping stone.
Tears welled up in Wen Gui's eyes as he said to Old Master Mo, "Father-in-law? Elder? When was the last time you acted like an elder to us? Now that you are in trouble, you want us to wipe your mess again? Do you think that we have no temper?"
Wen Gui knew very well what kind of person Mo Lin was; she was selfish and greedy. Even though she didn't have much ability, she pretended to be more skilled than her two elder sisters. These past few years, she had been flattering Old Master and Old Madam Mo because they were handing her the fortune left by Mo Yan. Now that the situation was like this and Old Madam Mo was arrested, Mo Lin would do everything in her power to separate from her old parents.
In the past, she separated him and Mo Yan from the Mo family in hopes that they would not be exiled, and now that there were rumours about Old Madam Mo getting executed, it would be surprising if Mo Lin let her old father stay with her.
Old Madam Mo returned home without any charges pressed on her head. Something that they would never agree to!
"Wen Gui–"
