Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 1299: The Ways Of The World

After hearing that, Zhong Bingyuan immediately sank into silence. Her entire person grew still.

Mo Chengxi sighed. He flipped over and earnestly looked at the girl in his arms. “Yuan Yuan, you’re upset, aren’t you? I don’t mean to say that I dislike you.”

Zhong Bingyuan did not say anything. Actually, she knew that what Mo Chengxi said was true. But after all, this was the way other people thought. It was different when her own boyfriend said such things.

Mo Chengxi sighed. This girl was still too young and had never experienced the viciousness of the world.

He said patiently, “Yuan Yuan, you know how I’ve treated you all these years. When I say all these to you, it doesn’t mean I think like that or that I despise you. I’m just telling you how other people think.

“As long as we live in this secular world, we have to understand how to survive in society. We may be above the ways of this world, but we have to know about them. We must be aware of the ways of the world without conforming to them. We must know the principles of this world before we can navigate it with ease, and you have to learn how to protect yourself.”

Zhong Bingyuan lifted her head to look at him.

Mo Chengxi helplessly looked at the girl’s teary eyes. His heart ached.

“Little girl! I have protected you all these years. I thought that you are so intelligent that you will learn all you need in the future, so I did not deliberately train you in this area. I thought that the Zhong family treats you well. You’re clearly growing up in a loving environment, and the Mo family is also very harmonious, so I felt that you did not need to know too many of such things while you are so young.

“But now it seems that your mother is giving you problems.

“I only hope that you can protect yourself properly and use society’s principles of survival to take care of yourself. Look at my aunt. She grew up in an extremely loving environment, and the Gu family is also very harmonious. But I remember that when Fifth Uncle’s mother committed a mistake, no one showed any mercy, be it my aunt, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, or anyone else in the Gu family.

“The Gu family’s power is their shelter, but everyone needs to protect it. In this world, everyone must be responsible for their own actions. Tolerate what should be tolerated, but when it cannot be tolerated, then you absolutely must not stand for it.”

The Fifth Uncle he referred to was the Gu family’s Fifth Cousin, Gu Jinxuan.

Mo Chengxi and little Mo Yang were in the same generation. Since Mo Yang addressed them as ‘Uncle’, when he was with the Gu family, he also addressed them as ‘Uncle’.

Zhong Bingyuan was silent for a long, long time.

Mo Chengxi began to panic when she still did not speak. After all, the girl’s mother had slapped her that day. Now he was telling her such things. What if she could not accept it!

Mo Chengxi was beginning to regret it.

Everyone in the Mo family was very straightforward and also very intelligent. The members of the Gu family were the same. Over the years, he had spent more time with Aunt, especially after she married into the Mo family. She had been responsible for most of the upbringing of the children in the family.

The Gu family was so large, but he personally saw that all of them were very self-disciplined. Although they relied on their relationships and gained many benefits from the Gu family’s power, they would never hold the family back deliberately.

The incident involving Zhou Ping was the best example.

Gu Jinhang had decisively punished his own mother instead of using his status as the Gu family’s Fifth Young Master to beg Gu Jinhang and the others to treat her graciously or to continue to tolerate her.

He was used to this method of dealing with things. But when he saw Zhong Bingyuan’s expression, he was worried that she could not accept it.

“Yuan Yuan… Yuan Yuan…”
