Chapter 1809: Realization

Qiao Zhilan smiled lightly. “Limo doesn’t love you.”

Mo Xiaona was stunned for a few seconds before she burst out laughing.

“Do you mean to say that Limo was actually toying with my feelings back then? You’re a liar. Is this the so-called understanding you have of him?”

Qiao Zhilan continued calmly, “He’s not a relationship liar. Limo is a complete relationship idiot.”

Mo Xiaona was speechless.

“He doesn’t even know who he likes or loves. If he’s not an idiot, who is? Even if she’s my son, she can’t deny that.”

Mo Xiaona bit the inner wall of her lips even harder. “Only he knows who he loves and who he doesn’t. Even if it’s not me, it might not be Xu Qingzhi… If it’s not because of your family background, why did you stop me and agree to her?!”

“You’ve been classmates with Limo for so many years. You’ve dated him for so many years. Do you really not know if he loves you or not?”

Mo Xiaona’s heart skipped a beat and she averted her gaze.

“Limo treats me very well. I’ve never noticed how different he treats any woman other than me!”

Qiao Zhilan sighed. “Miss Mo, since you came uninvited today, it’s rare for me to have a peaceful chat with you. Why don’t I take the opportunity to say more…”

“To be honest, Miss Mo, in my impression, you look pure and kind on the outside. You’re so obedient that you’re indeed likable. However, as an ordinary student, you dared to accept Limo’s pursuit and stay by his side for so many years. In the end, he could even cause trouble at home for you. You’re so flawless. This is enough to prove that you’re not a simple-minded person.

It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but the Li family doesn’t have to kill Limo with a single blow. Do you think that I didn’t know anything when I found out that Limo was dating in school and was completely indifferent? No, I’ve been paying attention to the two of you for a long time… I’ve been paying attention to you for a long time…”

“You’re actually not as kind and obedient as you look, Miss Mo…”

Mo Xiaona’s eyes flashed and her expression changed.

“Limo is in the Li family. He can have whatever he wants, but what does he care about? Do you need me to tell you in detail about how a few rich ladies in your school lost their things around his birthday?”

Mo Xiaona blushed and shrank her neck, her eyes darting around.

“At that birthday party, you suggested changing the venue so that Qingzhi would have time to celebrate Limo’s birthday. Do you dare to deny it now?”

“There are too many other things. I won’t explain them to you clearly today. I’m sure you know very well what you’ve done. Limo has nothing to do with you dating. In fact, it doesn’t matter even if you marry into the Li family in the end. However, your evil intentions are definitely related.”

“But I have to thank you for targeting Qingzhi back then. That’s how I know who Limo really likes.”

Mo Xiaona was at a loss and her face was red and hot.

“I didn’t expose you all these years because I couldn’t bear to ruin your life. I also didn’t want everyone to think how bad Limo’s taste was for him to be tied to someone like you for so many years… No matter how badly Limo fought with us back then, I chose to save you some face. Now, are you still going to blame us for looking down on you?

“Think about it yourself. Even if Li Mo doesn’t have Qingzhi in his heart, what face do you have to be with him? In the future, have you thought about how to face Li Mo and us?”

Being exposed in such a straightforward manner, Mo Xiaona was not prepared at all. As a result, she was at a loss and the overwhelming grievance in her heart spread.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

“That’s because I love Limo! My family background is ordinary, but this can’t become an obstacle between us! Nor can Xu Qingzhi take the opportunity to get close to him and affect his advantage! You guys don’t know anything. I’ve always been trying my best to make up for the gap between us…”

“That’s why I won’t agree to you being with Limo. Why do you think Limo chose you to be his girlfriend? It’s because you’re not one of those rich young ladies. The gap between the two of you is your greatest advantage.”

Qiao Zhilan remained calm and composed. “Do you think expensive gifts can make up for the so-called gap between the two of you? Does Limo care about those things? That’s not how the gap can be made up. In your eyes, Qingzhi is a proud young lady. But in order to celebrate Limo’s birthday, she personally went out to work and used the money she earned to prepare a birthday present for him…”

“Compare yourself. You’re a bystander. Who would you like more? Miss Mo, you can be poor, but you can’t be evil.”

The living room was silent for a while. Mo Xiaona reached out to wipe the tears off her face. “You guys have never had to worry about money. You can only say such beautiful words. I’ve regretted what I’ve done in the past, but you can’t use evil intentions to deny me…”

Qiao Zhilan stared at her quietly and suddenly said, “You’ve been dating for so many years, but Limo hasn’t touched you, right?”

Mo Xiaona was stunned.

“As long as he has touched you, I believe that you will do everything you can to get pregnant to shut all of us up. Even if you’re not really pregnant and it’s just a show, you won’t be able to take this shortcut… because Limo didn’t give you this chance.

If a man really liked a woman, he would be unable to control himself. When he couldn’t control himself, he would have thousands of reasons to cling to that woman and think of ways to get her. If he really liked you, he must have given you this opportunity too many times, but he had never…

Mo Xiaona’s face was filled with embarrassment.

There was the taste of rust in his mouth.

Standing here today, she had been stripped naked inch by inch. She didn’t even have the right to resist.

Embarrassing. It was too embarrassing.

She had accused them of breaking up her and Limo. In the end, the past between them was just a farce and a joke to them.

Seeing that she had finally stopped defending herself, Qiao Zhilan took a deep breath and said, “Back then, I didn’t ask you to leave because we were strong and heartless. On the contrary, I asked you to stay away from here because I wanted you to cover up all the things you had done in the past and complete your new life. I never expected you to be grateful to anyone, but I hope that you and Limo can lead your own lives. You shouldn’t be here, and you shouldn’t have any expectations for Limo!

“Moreover, the current Limo can’t tolerate you in his eyes or heart. I hope you can take care of yourself.”



Outside the villa, Xu Qingzhi tightened her down jacket and took a deep breath.

When the cold air entered his body, his dull head instantly relaxed.

Had she really done something wrong?

She had persisted and been stubborn for so many years.

She had always felt that as long as she was sincere and did not give up, she would get what she wanted.

The peaceful interaction over the past two days had indeed given her the illusion that she was on cloud nine.

But the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she really loved Limo.

Li Mo had an awkward personality, a sharp tongue and a bad temper.

But all these flaws didn’t dissipate her feelings for him.

She even loved his flaws.

She had despised herself before and knew that she was hopeless.

But everything was going well. She was already looking forward to their future.

All those years of persistence and obsession had been shaken by Mo Xiaona’s appearance today.

After so many years, when she saw Li Mo’s completely different attitude towards Mo Xiaona, she suddenly felt weak.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t truly win Limo’s heart.

There was someone else in her heart that she couldn’t change.

She tried her best and almost gave her heart to him, but he didn’t want it. She couldn’t force it on him.

Otherwise… how could she face him throwing her heart to the ground in disdain?

Her eyes burned in the cold air.

There was nothing he could do.

She cared too much about Limo, so she could remember every single move he made.

Hence, she couldn’t stand the way he looked at Mo Xiaona. His attitude towards Mo Xiaona was different.

Footsteps chased after her in an orderly manner. She turned her head to take a look and her lips twitched slightly. She stood still and looked up at the face of the man who was much taller than her.

“Is your face alright?”

Chu Yi looked down at her and shook his head after a few seconds. “This injury is nothing.”

“Limo has a bad temper. You probably know that too. Why did you say that?”

Chu Yi stuffed his hands into his pockets and looked at the pine and cypress tree in the corner. He said, “That person’s EQ is too low. I need to stimulate his EQ.”

Xu Qingzhi paused for a moment before smiling helplessly. “In the end, he almost opened your Ren and Du meridians!”

Seeing the faint smile on Xu Qingzhi’s face, Chu Yi felt less nervous.

“Why would I? From the punch he gave me, I can tell that he still cares about you.”

Xu Qingzhi’s smile carried a hint of sarcasm. “It’s probably because a man can’t bear to see his wife being approached by another man, right? This is just a matter of a man’s dignity.”

She couldn’t forget his warning. As long as she was still Mrs Li, she had to protect the Li family’s reputation.

No family would want to bear such a scandal.

Chu Yi fell silent, speechless.

She wasn’t against this possibility.

“But aren’t you too aggrieved by coming out like this? That’s your home now. How could you let that person enter so openly? Why did you come out yourself?”

Xu Qingzhi narrowed her eyes and said, “Do whatever you want. In front of Limo, I’ll always be the one who doesn’t please him. Instead of continuing to stay there and watch them fight, it’s better to avoid all of this. I don’t want to be too embarrassed.”

“You have to stand your ground. If you want to be embarrassed, it can only be her and not you.”

Xu Qingzhi shook her head. “My position… Mrs Li is just an empty shell now. She wants me to put on the airs of Mrs Li in front of Mo Xiaona and make things difficult for her…”

She laughed bitterly. “Limo won’t allow it.”

How could he bear to see Mo Xiaona suffer in front of him?

She had predicted too many possibilities. In the end, she could only end up embarrassed.

Why…

“What’s the use of running out? In the future, if you keep delaying and not settling it, are you going to live with him in fear for the rest of your life?”

“…A lifetime?” Xu Qingzhi muttered. After a moment of silence, she spoke again, her voice filled with sorrow. “If we keep dragging it on, our lives might last longer. Once we talk, perhaps our lives will end.”

Chu Yi looked at her in surprise. “Are you that unconfident in yourself? This isn’t like you in the past.”

“Only in front of him. It’s like… he’s the obsession in my heart, and Mo Xiaona is his. If I’m unwilling to give up on him, then in his heart… it should be the same as mine…”

Xu Qingzhi’s words trailed off.

She seemed to be thinking as she spoke. Towards the end, she actually fell into deep thought.

After a while, she suddenly laughed and looked up at Chu Yi. “In that case, I seem to have gone overboard. In the name of loving him, I ended up making him suffer the most, right?”

Chu Yi frowned. What was this woman thinking?

That didn’t seem right.

“Chu Yi,” she suddenly called out. Her gaze on him was especially serious. “Tell me, how about I let go?”

Chu Yi’s expression changed slightly. “…Why do you suddenly have such thoughts? Didn’t you just say that you love him?”

Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, “I do and I still do. But it doesn’t seem to be my original intention to make him as sad as I am. Isn’t there a saying? If you love him, you have to fulfill his wish. As long as he’s happy…”

Bullsh*t!

Chu Yi cursed under his breath. Which idiot said that?

“Are you out of your mind? How can you believe such stupid words?”

Xu Qingzhi chuckled and said, “No… Chu Yi, I just feel that I’ve really fallen in love with the wrong way… I’ve forced myself to get married, but I’ve only gotten it. In reality, it seems like I’ll never be able to get it. If this continues, Limo and I will only end up with mutual destruction. Why don’t we leave it at that…”

Although she couldn’t bear to part with him, it was much better than the endless pain they would suffer in the future.

Chu Yi’s eyelids twitched.

Damn it, this act went overboard and didn’t wake Limo up. Instead, it enlightened this woman.

[Tsk… The scariest thing is that women have thought it through…]
