Chapter 1036: Do You Know Who I Am? (9)
“Who is she really? Just a lowly being who wishes to get rich but has no means! So what if I like Mo Xicheng? I’ll get rid of her and win Mo Xicheng.”
Li Shuang laughed icily the moment Li Xue said this. “Do you know who she is?”
Li Xue paused and looked up at her.
Looking back at her steadily, Li Shuang warned, “If you dare to complain to Dad about this, then go ahead. I can guarantee he’ll skin you alive, but not before making you apologize to her. Did you know how much effort Dad made back then just to get me into the same school and cla.s.s as her?! Huh! My years of good relations with her have been destroyed by a fool like you.”
Stumped by this revelation, Li Xue asked, “Who- who exactly is she?”
“I’m sure you’ve heard of the pampered little mistress of the s.h.i.+ family.”
“Yes, I have. But everyone says that her ident.i.ty is so secret that she must have some sort of illness, or be really ugly.” As she said this, she suddenly realized, “You’re saying she’s- she’s- she’s—”
“s.h.i.+ Nianyao! Do you understand it now? Li Xue, it’s fine if you get into trouble yourself, but don’t drag our Li family through the mud. The head of the s.h.i.+ family, her elder brother, dotes on her! When she was born, she donated her bone marrow to her brother. Everyone knows that! He treats her like his own life. Tell me, what do you think he’d do if he knew you were trying to steal her boyfriend?”
The thought of it sent a shudder down Li Xue’s spine.
Immediately, she crawled to Li Shuang. Holding onto the latter’s leg, she cried, “Sister, help me please!”
Li Shuang looked at her and smirked in disdain.

On the same day, Li Xue left Hengdian.
When Yao Lili called her, she said, “Madam Yao, you see, love is a matter between two people. Since Mo Xicheng doesn’t like me, let’s not make things difficult for him.”
Then she hung up.
Yao Lili stared at her cell phone, speechless with anger.
At this point, the cell phone rang.
Picking up the call, she heard Mr. Mo’s voice on the other end, “How are Miss Li and Mo Xicheng getting along?”
Yao Lili hemmed and hawed, unable to say anything meaningful.
Mr. Mo snorted coldly and said, “Such a small matter and you can’t handle it. What’s the use of having you around?”
Yao Lili started with desperation, “Mr. Mo- Mr. Mo—”
But Dad Mo had already hung up.
Meanwhile, Li Shu and her son arrived back in Beijing.
The moment Mo Zhi entered the study and saw his father, he asked, “Dad, has Mo Xicheng dumped the girl?”
Dad Mo frowned and shook his head.
At once, Mo Zhi asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t we have an arranged marriage with the Li family? Mo Xicheng can’t even get this right?! Or should I marry that pampered little mistress of the Li family… Li Shuang?”
But on this note, he twitched his mouth and hesitated. “She’s too fierce though, not the sort of woman I like.”
Dad Mo shook his head. “Don’t speak nonsense. I’ve got it all planned out for you, so behave yourself for now.”
Mo Zhi’s eyes lit up at once. “Dad, who have you planned for me to marry?”
Dad Mo said, “Have you heard of the Mo family?”
Mo Zhi immediately protested, “The pampered little daughter of the Mo family? No way! Rumor has it that she’s probably physically handicapped in some way, or is really ugly. Otherwise why would her brother have her hidden away? Dad, don’t start getting silly ideas.”
