Chapter 383: 383 One who knows others is wise (second watch)
Chu Jin had not only refrained from breaking down in tears, she also did not threaten to seek help from the Mo family matriarch or Mo Zhixuan. Instead, she looked at her and calmly spoke such words.
On the contrary, she even turned the questions back on herself!
For the first time in her life, she actually found herself at a disadvantage before an ordinary person!
And what was most bizarre was that this ordinary person actually regarded her spiritual power as nothing!
Mo Feixue’s heart suddenly felt a flutter of panic. She organized her thoughts and still maintained her noble and cold demeanor as she continued.
"It is commonly said that the elder sister acts like a mother. It’s normal for Zhixuan, being young, to be careless. But as his sister, I cannot simply watch him continue to be careless. I must correct his wrong behavior..."
"Miss Mo," Chu Jin said, her eyes smiling as she looked at her, that gaze as if she was looking at a clown performing, "allow me to remind you that according to national law, reaching the age of 18 means one is already an adult. As an adult, one should have independent thoughts, and outsiders have no right to forcefully interfere! Moreover, even your mother hasn’t said anything, so is it your place to do so?"
An older sister acting as mother is true, but that is when the mother has passed away.
The Mo family matriarch hasn’t said anything yet, but here she is, waving her hands around and giving orders. This Mo Feixue really knows how to play the drama.
Chu Jin initially wanted to be courteous with Mo Feixue since after all, she was Mr. Mo’s sister, and that amount of respect was due.
However, she later realized that this was not the case.
From the beginning to the end, Mo Feixue didn’t give her a proper glance, speaking in an aggressive manner, every word laced with thorns.
Since that was the case, there was no need for her to be polite with Mo Feixue either.
Respect is mutual; you respect me, and I will respect you.
This was the first time Mo Feixue had been made to feel so disheartened, her fingertips trembling with anger. However, she controlled it exceptionally well. From a young age, she was taught to maintain her composure, never to show her feelings easily, and most importantly, not to lash out at an ordinary person without spiritual power.
So, she still maintained her regal and mysterious composure.
She didn’t expect Chu Jin to be so oblivious to favors, so sharp-tongued, so thorny!
She had thought that dealing with an ordinary person was within her control, but unexpectedly... things had taken such a turn.
Mo Feixue said sternly, "Miss Chu, as you must have noticed, Zhixuan is not just an ordinary person. He bears a heavy responsibility, and his status and identity are not as simple as you see. He needs not just a wife, but someone who can really support him..."
Chu Jin gave a light laugh, "I believe that with Mo Zhixuan’s abilities, he doesn’t need anyone to gild the lily or pave the way for him. Oh, just to remind you, I am not just an ordinary person either."
She sounded somewhat arrogant.
It was a distinctly self-centered statement, but coming from her, it didn’t seem out of place. It’s as if, she was always meant to be so.
"Miss Chu," Mo Feixue’s beautiful eyes narrowed, a chill appearing in them, "I think the most important thing in life is to know oneself. As Laozi said, ’He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.’ With your current status and position, you are nowhere near worthy of Zhixuan, and you can’t enter the doors of the Mo family. This place isn’t for you. I advise you to leave sooner rather than later, so we don’t all end up embarrassed!" Her last words were clearly tinged with a warning.
If she had confronted someone else, they would probably have already been cowed by Mo Feixue’s dominating presence.
Unfortunately, she was facing Chu Jin, a soul tempered by fire, a born leader.
A faint smile even adorned her lips, her dimples shallow, the moonlight evenly falling upon her, as if cloaking her in a sheer veil, making her look even more ethereal, serene, beautiful, merged with the moonlight itself.
Her expression was very calm.
Chu Jin slightly raised an eyebrow and gently lifted her chin, her eyes sparkling, "Actually, Miss Mo, there’s one thing you are quite right about. ’He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened.’ This saying really suits you. When it comes to life, the most important thing is to recognize one’s own status. Well, my time is limited, so I won’t say much more. Please, make yourself at home."
Having said that, she didn’t wait to see Mo Feixue’s reaction and turned around to leave.
After walking a few steps, Chu Jin stopped, turned her head towards Mo Feixue, "Miss Mo."
Her delicate face was almost expressionless, but her eyes revealed a cool pride.
Her aura was in no way inferior to Mo Feixue’s, even surpassing it.
"Finally, I’ll leave you with a word,"
She slightly curved her lips, the coldness in her eyes growing denser, the pear dimple at the corner of her mouth deepening as she enunciated each word, "One can have an empty head, but what’s important is it shouldn’t be waterlogged! After all, you are the elder sister, so think things through with your brain before you do anything. After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."
If this had been someone else, they would have already been stirring up trouble in front of Mo Zhixuan.
Her manner was like a senior lecturing a naive junior.
It was quite authoritative.
With that said, she turned and walked away, her back straightening. She left, slowly fading from Mo Feixue’s line of sight.
Mo Feixue originally wanted to give Chu Jin a good lecture and make her back off.
She had not expected that in the end, she would be the one receiving a lesson.
This was indeed an unprecedented event.
