Chapter 1832: Trying to Use Public Opinion to Suppress Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Also, the woman I like… the woman I love has always been Xu Qingzhi!”
“From now on, you’d better understand this. So she’s not scheming to get me pregnant and then take the opportunity to marry me. I’m deliberately giving her this opportunity.”
“Even if she didn’t intend to keep the child, I don’t think I would have agreed! Even if she wasn’t pregnant with my child, I would have found another reason to marry her!”
“The person who has always harbored evil intentions has always been me! If you have anything you want to scold, come at me… However, I dare you to scold me!”
“…”
!!
“…”
“…”
They wouldn’t dare!
This was a real big boss!
It wasn’t that she didn’t have confidence.
After saying that, Li Mo swept his cold gaze across the silent crowd before walking out in satisfaction.
Feng Geng had to run to catch up with him!
The scene just now was still a little shocking to him.
Their CEO Li had never been one to talk about love.
Not to mention that he would never say it, even if he saw other men and women being affectionate, his expression would not be good.
Actually, after being with CEO Li for so many years, he could more or less tell that CEO Li was an awkward person.
He might never do something like that in his life.
The disgust was obvious.
He had never doubted that even if he was married, he would not be a sweet-talking and gentle husband.
She wasn’t that kind of person at all!
Back then, he was even secretly worried about the Li family’s children.
She was shocked to hear that he had a girlfriend before.
She really couldn’t imagine how he got together with a woman. Could a woman stand it?
Indeed, he was not a good man after marrying Madam.
However, those words at the venue were really impressive.
He didn’t expect that one day, he would see his President Li confess in front of so many people.
It was subversive.
She had grown up.
Filled with emotions, she returned to the birthday party.
Although it was snowing heavily, she still used her fastest speed. In less than half an hour, she returned.
Qiao Zhilan had been greeting the guests in the banquet hall. When she saw that Li Mo had returned with Feng Geng, disappointment flashed across her eyes.
She thought that he would definitely be able to bring Qingzhi back and announce it to everyone.
The person he loved had always been Qingzhi. He had never loved anyone else.
Although Li Mo had messed up the birthday banquet this time, if she could personally confirm Mrs. Li’s ident.i.ty in front of so many people, she would be able to barely pa.s.s even if she had to relieve the grievances she had suffered for so many years.
In the end, he went out alone and returned alone.
Then why did he go out?
Suppressing the regret and anger in her heart, she watched as Li Mo strode over.
She took a deep breath and said, “Cut the cake and say a few words. Let’s disperse tonight.”
With so many people waiting, she had to go through the process.
Li Mo didn’t say anything. He looked around and frowned. “Where’s Xu Qingzhi?”
Qiao Zhilan paused. “Who are you talking about?”
“Xu Qingzhi,” Li Mo said patiently.
Qiao Zhilan looked around and shook her head. “I didn’t see her.”
Li Mo pursed his lips into a straight line, his expression unhappy.
So Li Mo went to look for Qingzhi but couldn’t find her?
It seemed that Qingzhi had been hurt again. She wondered where the child was hiding.
In the end, she sighed and said, “Cut the cake.”
As she spoke, she gestured for the waiter to push the huge cake over.
Qiao Zhilan looked a little tired. She picked up the knife and looked at Li Mo indifferently.
Li Mo raised his wrist to check the time, but when he lifted his cuff, he realized that he wasn’t wearing a watch.
Feng Geng, who was in the crowd, hurriedly said, “It’s 7:50 now.”
It was not even eight o’clock. It was still early.
Li Mo did not take the knife from Qiao Zhilan.
“Limo.”
“Wait a while more. He’s not here yet.”
Li Mo didn’t leave the cake. He stood there quietly, staring at the entrance of the banquet hall.
She had never turned on her phone.
She could only wait foolishly.
What if she happened to be here when he went out?
Time pa.s.sed minute by minute.
The crowd in front of the cake also relaxed slightly.
They raised their gla.s.ses and chatted happily.
“He’s obviously waiting for someone, right?”
“Who is it? Why is she attending President Li’s birthday party?”
“Xu Qingzhi, isn’t this Mrs Li?”
“Can’t you tell? The couple is officially fighting today!”
“His ex-girlfriend came back and the two of them were hospitalized together. Who knows if there’s a fire between them? They must be waiting for her!”
“Maybe he deliberately fell out with his wife this time because his ex-girlfriend came back and forced his wife to give up her position.”
“Shh… Do you want to die? How dare you say such things here?”
“… Of course I want to live. But from the looks of it, I didn’t seem to be wrong.”
As the woman spoke, she raised her sharp chin towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
Everyone looked over with different expressions.
Qiao Zhilan’s face darkened when she saw the figure at the door.
A woman walked slowly from the entrance of the banquet hall. She was wearing a burgundy gown with a V-neck design. The white lace was decorated with burgundy rose petals. Her long curly hair draped over her shoulders. Her red lips were seductive and her makeup was exquisite. Compared to her previous freshness and elegance, she was completely subverted and beautiful.
Mo Xiaona’s red lips curled into a confident smile as she walked towards the center of the banquet.
Everyone was whispering to each other, waiting to watch a good show.
Li Mo also saw Mo Xiaona and frowned.
He frowned as she approached.
However, Mo Xiaona smiled brightly and said to Li Mo, “Limo, happy birthday.”
Li Mo said coldly, “Why are you here…”
“This is my birthday present.”
Mo Xiaona raised her hand and handed the gift box to Li Mo, successfully interrupting him.
Then, she approached him and opened the gift box.
Inside was an expensive watch.
The design was simple and luxurious, and it suited Limo’s taste.
She took it out and took a few steps closer to him. Limo narrowed his eyes at her.
“I took a long time to prepare this gift. This is the last time I’m celebrating your birthday. Moreover, Xu Qingzhi agreed to let me come.”
Li Mo’s face turned cold.
“She agreed to let you come?”
“She doesn’t seem to care much.”
Mo Xiaona continued, “Limo, you should know that I don’t have any bad intentions towards you. I’ve given you my youth and I don’t expect you to make it up to me. I just want to celebrate your birthday properly as a memorable ending. Since I’m here, can’t you preserve my dignity for the last time?”
Li Mo’s face tensed, but he said nothing.
His silence made Mo Xiaona smile because she knew that Li Mo had agreed.
He agreed to save her face.
The two of them were very close and Mo Xiaona’s voice was very low. Almost no one knew what they had said.
Qiao Zhilan’s expression was extremely ugly. As she was the closest to Li Mo, she heard Mo Xiaona’s words clearly.
She had given her youth to him?
Wasn’t she saying all this to make Limo feel guilty?
Save her dignity one last time?
What about Qingzhi?
Mo Xiaona smiled and lifted Li Mo’s wrist. Finally, she slowly placed the watch on his wrist.
Li Mo frowned until Mo Xiaona fastened the watch.
Then, he looked up at her. “Thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday. So… is it enough now?”
The smile on Mo Xiaona’s face froze for half a second. “Don’t you want to cut the cake? You’ve already given me a gift. You should treat me to a bite of the birthday cake.”
Li Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at her quietly. The light in his eyes gradually turned cold.
“See, I was right. The person I’m waiting for is indeed this ex-girlfriend.”
“That watch isn’t cheap. She even put it on herself. Seriously… I wonder how that Mrs Li will feel when she sees this.”
“She’s obviously trying to force that madam to divorce her, right? Which woman can withstand that?”
“Look at her red dress. It seems like she’s here as the future Mrs Li, right?”
“But no matter what, that Madam Li is a proper young lady. To be treated like this… President Li is really ruthless. He didn’t give her any face at all!”
“It’s going to be a hot topic tomorrow! I wonder when the news of their divorce will be exposed…”
“Oh my G.o.d…”
An exclamation successfully interrupted the whispering crowd. They looked up in confusion and their gazes gathered at the door.
Everyone took a deep breath.
“This… scene…”
“This is awkward…”
The tall figure at the door was also wearing a wine-red gown with a V-neck design. The blank area was white lace with wine-red rose petals…
It was obvious that she had the same outfit as Mo Xiaona.
It was the exact same dress.
At this moment, the woman who was walking towards them slowly had her long hair tied up. There was a simple white headband on her head, revealing two white ball earrings. There was lipstick on her lips that matched the color of her gown, and she was holding a white handbag.
And that fair and smooth cheek.
The combination of red and white was especially distinct, accentuating her features.
She was clean and delicate.
Her red lips exuded a strong aura.
Mo Xiaona’s face stiffened. Her gaze lingered on Xu Qingzhi for a while before she lowered her head to look at herself.
They were wearing the same s.h.i.+rt?
As Xu Qingzhi walked closer, Mo Xiaona couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.
But looking at her stomach…
Wearing such a gown was a failure.
It was not scary to wear the same s.h.i.+rt. Whoever was ugly would be embarra.s.sed.
When she got closer, Xu Qingzhi saw Mo Xiaona and the dress that was identical to hers. Her eyes flickered.
“I can’t hide my stomach anymore.”
“If I didn’t know that the two of them are love rivals, I would suspect that they deliberately discussed it!”
“I wanted to wear red to show my position as Mrs Li, right?”
“What’s the use? We still don’t know who will be the real Mrs Li in the end.”
“The current Mrs Li is competing with the future Mrs Li. It’s explosive!”
“In terms of figure, I choose my ex-girlfriend!”
…
Mo Xiaona went forward and smiled at her. “I was wondering why you weren’t around just now.”
Xu Qingzhi smiled and said, “I was delayed by something.”
“It’s good that you’re here. I’m really happy for Limo. You actually came to celebrate his birthday.”
He sounded as if Xu Qingzhi was the outsider.
“Miss Mo,” Xu Qingzhi said calmly, “I’m Limo’s wife. It’s normal for me to celebrate his birthday. What’s there to be happy about?”
Mo Xiaona was slightly stunned. “… Because I heard that there was a conflict between your company’s new product launch and Limo’s birthday. They all said that the two of you might be fighting…”
Xu Qingzhi smiled faintly and said, “Them? Then they even said that you’re Limo’s ex-girlfriend. All the conflict happened because Limo confronted me for you and forced me to divorce him. You should know that.”
The smile on Mo Xiaona’s face gradually froze.
Qiao Zhilan looked especially happy because of Qing Zhi’s appearance. After hearing these words, the corners of her lips curled up even more.
Everyone looked at her and her face heated up.
“If I were you, I would avoid suspicion since I know this. I wouldn’t have come personally to confirm this matter.”
“Miss Mo, there are many negative comments about me online. Do you think I will really choose to divorce you because I can’t take it?”
Xu Qingzhi didn’t hide it. She smiled faintly and said some things calmly.
She had no intention of giving him face.
“Even if I really get a divorce, what can the outcome be?”
“Xu Qingzhi!”
Li Mo’s cold voice sounded. The next second, her wrist was grabbed and a hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Xu Qingzhi looked at him coldly.
“Limo, my press conference should have ended perfectly. This is your doing!”
