Actually, there were plenty of grounds on which Speckled White Sails could be criticized—or, rather, use to muddle the truth about Mo Bi Chenxin's actions.
For example, if someone confidently entrusted family affairs to a girl who admired him... Anyone who had ever worked like an ox or horse for someone they had personal feelings for would know how devoted they could be. Anyone with even a little understanding of human relationships could guess that much.
But Mo Bi Chenxin had only been hoping to get lucky. He hadn't deliberately taken advantage of her... Sometimes there was a huge difference between confessing first and getting the job afterward, and getting the job first and confessing afterward.
At the time, Paintbrush had firmly presented herself as someone whose personal feelings wouldn't affect her work. She was indeed capable, and the pretty, adorable, enthusiastic young woman also had plenty of supporters in the Black-and-White Road. That was why Mo Bi Chenxin turned a blind eye and let things take their natural course.
More importantly, there had also been Powdered Ink opposing her at the time. Paintbrush had actually been watched very closely.
Although Powdered Ink appeared gentle, she was actually impeccable.
Because so much time had passed, let alone the other families in the Heaven-Defying Alliance—even some of the old members of the Black-and-White Road no longer remembered these things... Those who did remember had either chosen Paintbrush or were the sort who had always stayed by Mo Bi Chenxin's side. Their contributions had been wiped clean along with everyone else's at the time.
If Speckled White Sails suddenly reversed the order of events, portraying Mo Bi Chenxin as a scumbag who had exploited a girl's pure love to manage his family, then put on a magnificent performance, he probably wouldn't be
