411 The Saber-Holder Under the Moonlight
Qu Ru ignored Qu You and smiled as she welcomed Old Madam Qu in. “Grandma, rest first. I’ll help you get water to wash your feet.”
Looking at Qu Ru’s solicitous appearance, Qu You rolled her eyes.
“Tsk, she’s unaccountably solicitous, so she must be up to something.” After Qu Ru went to fetch water to wash Old Madam Qu’s feet, Qu You muttered, “Grandma, don’t be deceived by Qu Ru! This was how she tricked a certain man back then.”
As for who the man was, everyone present understood.
Old Madam Qu looked at Qu You helplessly. “Little You, I know you dislike Little Ru, but I’m still willing to give her another chance.”
Qu You didn’t believe that Qu Ru would turn over a new leaf, but she couldn’t convince the soft-hearted old lady, so she could only sigh. “Anyway, Grandma, you should be warier of her.”
As soon as Qu You finished speaking, Qu Ru walked over with a basin of water to wash her feet. She gently helped Old Madam Qu take off her slippers and socks and wash her feet.
“Go and rest first. Let the servants wash my feet,” Old Madam Qu said as she looked at Qu Ru, who was squatting on the ground.
Qu Ru shook her head. “I’m just being filial to you. It’s fine.”
Mo Rao and Qu You sat on the sofa silently as they watched Qu Ru act. Then, they exchanged glances.
After Old Madam Qu and Qu Ru went upstairs, Qu You said to Mo Rao, “Recently, Old Madam has been deluded by Qu Ru. This woman really knows how to play dumb. I feel disgusted whenever I see her.”
Mo Rao sneered. “She’s always been like this. Only Grandma is kind enough to take her in.”
“Don’t worry. Sooner or later, I’ll get her kicked out of the Qu family.” Qu You snorted. “It hasn’t been peaceful on Qu Qing and Qu Xue’s side recently. Qu Rou has just returned to the country, so she shouldn’t be a threat to you in the entertainment industry.”
“Yes, Grandma told me.” Mo Rao was quite fond of Qu You and told her Old Madam Qu’s plans. “Grandma wants me to take over those companies, but I still want you and your father to manage them.”
Qu You didn’t seem surprised by Old Madam Qu’s decision. She rejected Mo Rao’s suggestion. “My father is already very busy managing those main companies. He’s already so old, so don’t let him manage those small companies as well.”
“As for me… I just want to take things easy and enjoy life,” Qu You blinked at Mo Rao as she said.
Mo Rao didn’t expect Qu You to be so indifferent. She thought that Qu You was an ambitious person and would strive for Old Madam Qu’s affection.
However, Mo Rao didn’t have that much spare time to manage the company, especially since her career was still developing.
“I advise you to listen to Grandma and take over those companies. Don’t let Qu Ru snatch them away,” Qu You said with a shrug and walked to the door of her room. “I’m going to bed now.”
Mo Rao nodded and sighed before walking into her room.
After she was reunited with Old Madam Qu, Old Madam Qu had sorted out a room for her.
She heard that this room used to be her mother’s.
Every time she returned to this room, Mo Rao would feel inexplicably at ease.
His mother would definitely be gratified to see this from heaven.
The fatigue from what happened during the day made Mo Rao quickly fall asleep. Moonlight shone in from the window and enveloped Mo Rao.
Just as there was silence, Mo Rao’s door was pushed open a crack. A sharp blade emitted a cold light as it was illuminated by the moonlight.
Someone was approaching Mo Rao, but there was no sound of footsteps.
However, in the next second, Mo Rao suddenly opened her eyes.
“Qu Ru?!” When Mo Rao saw Qu Ru standing by her bed with a knife in her hand, she asked, “What are you doing?!”
At this moment, Qu Ru seemed to have come back to her senses. Her eyes widened and she screamed as the knife fell.
“W-why am I here?!” Qu Ru fell to the ground and looked around in panic. “I-I’m already asleep?!”
Looking at Qu Ru’s unhinged appearance, Mo Rao didn’t know if Qu Ru was acting or if she was really mentally ill.
