Chapter 1823: Trick
“Then why are your dark circles so serious? You look terrible.”
Li Mo paused.
She looked terrible?
Without another word, she walked into the washroom.
When she saw the tired and listless face in the mirror, her eyes were swollen and there were dark circles under them.
How was this terrible?
She could no longer be considered human.
After worrying about Xu Qingzhi running away with someone last night, she struggled until the next morning.
It was fine if he had to work overtime normally, but lying in bed last night was more tiring than working overtime for a week.
He knew that Xu Qingzhi was a typical good-looking person, and that was why he didn’t sleep the entire night. In the end…
With such a terrible face, wouldn’t Xu Qingzhi be even more restless?
Moreover, an international Best Actor lived downstairs.
His face darkened and he looked even worse.
She turned on the tap and washed her face.
Xu Qingzhi got dressed and opened the door. After a while, the door opened and a few people exclaimed.
“Strange, it was locked just now. Why is it now…”
When they saw Xu Qingzhi standing in the ward in an ill-fitting suit that did not belong to a woman, they froze.
After sizing her up, Qiao Zhilan’s eyes flashed before she turned to the medical staff and said, “Sorry to trouble you. Since the room is open…”
“Madam, we have to do a routine check.”
The doctor beside him smiled. It was necessary to check the patient’s condition in the morning.
Qiao Zhilan placed the thermos on the cabinet and looked at Xu Qingzhi with a kind smile. “Qingzhi, where’s Limo?”
Xu Qingzhi blushed a little. The smile in Qiao Zhilan’s eyes was too obvious. She knew what it meant.
After all, they had indeed done something indescribable last night.
“He’s… in the washroom.”
When Li Mo came out after was.h.i.+ng up, he couldn’t help but frown when he saw the room full of people.
Her gaze s.h.i.+fted from Qiao Zhilan to the thermos box. She opened it and saw that the first layer was steamed buns, the second layer was steamed buns, and the last layer was porridge.
Then, he picked up the thermos and walked around the bed to Xu Qingzhi. He handed the thermos to her.
“Go away.”
His voice was cold as he glanced at the sofa and coffee table behind her.
The meaning was obvious.
Qiao Zhilan raised an eyebrow and watched as Li Mo lifted the blanket and got onto the bed.
Glancing coldly at the medical staff around them, a few of them hurriedly went up to do a simple examination.
Xu Qingzhi stood rooted to the ground as she watched.
“Mr Li, you seem to have a few new injuries…”
Li Mo turned to look at Xu Qingzhi, who was still standing by the side. “What are you waiting for?”
Xu Qingzhi blinked and carried the food box to the sofa. She sat down and started peeling an egg.
Only then did Li Mo retract his gaze and acknowledged the doctor.
The medical staff were helpless.
“Then we need to take a detailed video and see the details.”
Qiao Zhilan frowned. “Why is there a new injury?”
Li Mo replied nonchalantly, “I’m fine.”
Xu Qingzhi lowered her head and took a bite of the egg.
“Mr Li, you haven’t had breakfast yet. Do you want to go for a checkup now?”
“I said I’m fine. There’s no need to check.”
The doctors glanced at Qiao Zhilan, feeling troubled.
Qiao Zhilan glanced at Xu Qingzhi and nodded. “She’s probably fine.”
If something really happened, how would she have the energy to do that?
She couldn’t risk her life to do that.
Xu Qingzhi took a bite of the bun.
She pretended not to hear anything.
If she became invisible, then everything that happened yesterday had nothing to do with her.
In fact, she was indeed not involved.
However, in the end, the doctor gave up on examining him. Instead, he said, “Mr. Li, in your current condition, you’re not allowed to do too much physical activity. You should do some things after you’ve recovered. You’ll definitely… achieve twice the results with half the effort.”
Xu Qingzhi had just put the last bite of the bun into her mouth when she choked.
“Cough… Cough, cough…”
She quickly picked up the porridge and took two sips.
Li Mo straightened his body. Seeing that she was fine, he kicked the doctor beside him.
“What nonsense are you spouting?!”
The doctor raised an eyebrow and smiled, not minding.
“You’d better pay more attention. Your complexion doesn’t look too good today. At this time, ordinary people don’t have much energy. If you exhaust it… it will be very awkward if an accident happens midway…”
Li Mo’s face darkened.
What the f*ck!
Causing an accident?!
Xu Qingzhi covered her mouth, her ears turning red.
Were all doctors these days so fearless?
She dared to say anything?
Although there was no gender difference in front of a doctor, was such a private matter not important?
Seeing that Li Mo was about to explode, the doctor led the medical staff away with a smile.
Qiao Zhilan felt a little awkward. After all, she had been reserved all her life. When she heard about her son and daughter-in-law’s private matters, she felt a little awkward.
The room turned awkward.
Xu Qingzhi blushed and ate another bun.
Seeing this, Qiao Zhilan broke the awkwardness. “How did you get the new injury?”
Li Mo pointed at Xu Qingzhi and said, “It’s all her fault.”
Xu Qingzhi received an expressionless gaze from Qiao Zhilan.
“How useless are you? You complain about your wife in front of your mother every day?”
“That’s the truth.”
Qiao Zhilan snorted. “Since marrying a wife is so troublesome, as a mother-in-law, I naturally can’t tolerate it. Let’s get a divorce! I can’t afford a daughter-in-law who’s throwing a tantrum. After the divorce, the marriage has nothing to do with each other. She can look for anyone she wants!”
She was a typical evil mother-in-law.
Li Mo frowned. “Don’t you like her?”
Qiao Zhilan said matter-of-factly, “But you’re my biological son after all. You’re my flesh and blood. As for her, at most, I don’t hate her. No matter how much I like her, I can’t compare to you! Your grandmother and I have been thinking a lot these few days. We feel that your happiness is the most important. If you really don’t love Qingzhi, we won’t stop you from getting a divorce. And that Mo Xiaona, if you like her, you can marry her. We promise to let her marry into the Li family in glory. We won’t let her suffer. As long as you’re happy, we’re willing to compromise with you.”
Xu Qingzhi raised her head slowly and looked at Qiao Zhilan.
Li Mo’s expression was indescribably ugly.
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave!”
She must be here to cause trouble for him.
Wasn’t he annoying enough?!
Qiao Zhilan raised an eyebrow. “What kind of att.i.tude is that? In the past, you were unhappy when we stopped you from being with Miss Mo. Now that we’ve agreed, you’re still unhappy. What do you want?”
“Since we’re married, I have no intention of getting a divorce.”
“That won’t do!”
Qiao Zhilan immediately said crisply, “You don’t love Qingzhi and cause trouble every day. You’re obviously not my good daughter-in-law, but that doesn’t mean that others don’t love her. She can’t be someone else’s mother-in-law’s good daughter-in-law. A marriage without love isn’t blissful. Even if you don’t want a divorce, it can’t stop Qingzhi from being happy for the rest of her life. Don’t harm her. She doesn’t owe you anything!”
Li Mo’s face tightened.
“If there’s nothing else, leave quickly!”
Qiao Zhilan ignored him and looked at Xu Qingzhi.
“Qingzhi, since Limo doesn’t love you, I don’t think there’s a need to continue this marriage. As his mother-in-law, I’m very dissatisfied with your life. Divorce is the best choice!”
Xu Qingzhi stood up slowly and said, “Mom, I’m indeed not a qualified daughter-in-law. I’ve disappointed you. Thank you for taking care of me these days… You’re right. A marriage without love can’t be blissful. Since Limo has someone else in his heart and doesn’t love me, I won’t force him…”
Li Mo jumped out of bed.
“Are you suffering from amnesia?!”
Xu Qingzhi frowned in confusion. “What?”
“I clearly said that I love you. The person I love is you! How can you forget such an important matter? Did Xu Qingzhi eat your brain?!”
Xu Qingzhi’s lips twitched.
Qiao Zhilan raised an eyebrow at Xu Qingzhi.
“What? You said you love Qingzhi? Limo, don’t mess around. Don’t say such insincere words for the sake of the Li family’s influence. You’ve clearly loved that Miss Mo for so many years. You fell in love with Qingzhi just like that? Who would believe you if you said that? Qingzhi herself doesn’t believe you either! Do you think you can lie to her?”
“Who’s doing this for the Li family? How vulnerable is the Li family? Can the Li family collapse just because of a divorce?”
“Since it’s not for the Li family, don’t you find it ridiculous to fall in love with Qingzhi overnight?”
“I’ve never loved anyone else!”
Li Mo was impatient!
His biological mother always went against him.
Qiao Zhilan’s face darkened. “What do you mean?”
“Limo, if you don’t explain yourself today, I won’t accept Qingzhi as my daughter-in-law! Even if you refuse to get a divorce, I won’t let her visit the Li family again! Don’t you understand the impact on a family?”
Li Mo gritted his teeth and glanced at Xu Qingzhi. He stood there silently with his head lowered. He didn’t seem to care about the divorce at all.
In-laws…
If they didn’t get along well, what if his mother bullied Xu Qingzhi in the future…
Even if Xu Qingzhi didn’t divorce him now, she couldn’t guarantee that she wouldn’t be forced to fight with him again.
They were really in-laws!
She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm herself down.
“The person I love has always been Xu Qingzhi, not Mo Xiaona. That’s why I don’t want a divorce. Can you stop causing trouble for me?!”
Qiao Zhilan shook her head. “I don’t believe it. Since the person you love has always been Qingzhi, why did you date Miss Mo back then? Why did you reject her when she asked you to get married? Why did you have to be so cold to Qingzhi after getting married?”
Li Mo’s lips twitched.
She said nothing.
“See, you’re lying! Even I don’t believe you. What right do you have to make Qingzhi believe you?”
Limo jumped off the bed angrily and chased Qiao Zhilan out.
“There’s nothing for you to do here. Don’t come and bring me food in the future. Also, if you want to make things difficult for her in the future, why don’t you just kill me?”
Qiao Zhilan was chased out of the ward.
The moment the door closed, her gloomy expression changed. She smiled and took out her phone to call the old lady.
“Mom, Limo is finally enlightened! He actually admitted that the person he has always loved is Qingzhi… Yes, it’s true. I faked it myself! He’s here too… The two of them were together last night… Qingzhi was beside him when he said that… But I don’t know if he believes it or not… I’ll tell you more when we get home…”
After hanging up, she placed her phone in her bag, unable to suppress the joy on her face.
This brat had finally understood.
In the past, she had always felt that the old lady was very reckless.
But this time, it was indeed useful.
It seemed that he had to do the opposite when necessary.
Moreover, this child, Limo, indeed deserved this.
Although the process was a little annoying, he was still young. It was no big deal to torture him.
It was rare for her to marry such an obedient and capable wife. How could she not cherish her?
—
Only Xu Qingzhi and Li Mo were left in the room, feeling a little awkward.
Li Mo blushed.
It was harder than ascending to the heavens for Limo to say words of love.
After saying so much, she felt uncomfortable facing the female lead.
Moreover, ever since he started school with Xu Qingzhi, he had never been gentle with her.
They were at odds with each other and didn’t like each other. They would argue when they met.
The two of them had been at odds in school for so many years. Neither of them was willing to lower their heads to the other.
In the end, he was the one who admitted that he loved her!
Ha.
He didn’t expect to lose after fighting for so long.
A loser would naturally feel awkward in front of a winner.
He was indignant, but this was the only way to resolve the misunderstanding and make Xu Qingzhi continue to argue with him.
Pursing his lips, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy when he saw Xu Qingzhi looking at him quietly.
“Look… what are you looking at! Bring me the food after you’re done eating. I’m still hungry!”
His tone was really fierce.
Xu Qingzhi’s eyebrows twitched as she handed the thermos to Li Mo.
“Eat first. I’ll go downstairs to see Chu Yi.”
Li Mo frowned. “Are you done? You keep mentioning him every time, reminding me how good your market is now?”
Xu Qingzhi frowned and said, “I said that it proves that I’m honest with him and there’s nothing I can hide. Since you don’t want to hear it, forget it.”
As she spoke, she walked towards the door.
Li Mo was exasperated. “What are you doing?”
“Get some fresh air!”
“You’re actually going to see Chu Yi, right? Xu Qingzhi, you actually went to see him behind my back!”
“So? I’m telling you that you think I’m hiding something from you. What do you want?”
Li Mo was speechless.
[Limo’s character is indeed very awkward. He doesn’t know if he’s in love or not. Also, his relations.h.i.+p with Qingzhi has always been the kind that doesn’t give in to each other. Coupled with his prejudice against the rich young lady and other reasons, it feels like he’s admitting that he’s in love with his nemesis. We’re all bystanders. Actually, we still have to go through the process to overcome this hurdle. Is Mo Xiaona the thorn in your hearts now? Hahaha! I’ll think of a way to deal with her. Otherwise, you can come up with a move ~ o(* ̄▽ ̄)▽ ̄ [laughing hysterically!]]
