“How vulgar is it for a man to wear a watch? I like wearing bracelets!”

With that, she snatched the bracelet from Xu Qingzhi and put it on herself.

Then, Baba waved it in front of Xu Qingzhi. “Don’t say that. It’s the right size.”

The corners of Xu Qingzhi’s lips twitched. “Looks like I bought a house a few years ago.”

Li Mo shook his head and hugged her with both hands. He rubbed her forehead affectionately and said, “It’s not big. I didn’t grow any.”

Her voice was obviously fawning, and Xu Qingzhi couldn’t help but smile.

She looked at the bracelet on his wrist. He had been pampered since he was young. His skin was fair and his bones were exquisite. His fingers were long and beautiful.

The platinum bracelet sparkled under the light. It hung casually on his wrist.

She was indeed as beautiful as she had thought.

“I’ve finally given this gift away.”

She murmured and stared at the bracelet with a satisfied smile.

“Yes… I’m very happy.”

Li Mo hugged Xu Qingzhi, wanting to melt her into his bones.

After being awkward for so many years, this was the first time she felt so embarrassed.

Xu Qingzhi sighed softly and looked up at the watch that he had thrown aside. She gave him a faint smile.

“I heard that Miss Mo put it on for you personally?”

Limo’s face froze. “This… she asked me to give her some face…”

“Does she want to give you face by putting on your watch personally?”

“…”

“Have you thought about what would happen if I didn’t come tonight? Would my ex-girlfriend celebrate CEO Li’s birthday? Or would the two of them be in love at the birthday party and Rongcheng’s wife would be replaced?”

Li Mo’s scalp turned numb.

What… the hell was going on?

Who knew that there were so many tricks to wearing a watch?

Women’s thoughts were really unpredictable.

However, when he thought about how he had been thinking about how he had stood her up at Xu Qingzhi’s birthday party because of Mo Xiaona back then, he felt that there might not be so many things happening in between!

Perhaps his son would have run away long ago!

After all, he was the culprit and Mo Xiaona didn’t deserve to be forgiven.

“I’ve never thought of giving her any chance. You know how much of a headache I’ve been having these few days to prevent you from getting a divorce.”

“After all, we had a little relationship in the past… Even though nothing happened between us!” Li Mo hurriedly emphasized in a loud voice. Then, he said, “Besides, she came specially to celebrate my birthday… It’s not to the extent of not giving her face…”

“Besides, I couldn’t find you when I went to look for you just now. I kept thinking about where you were. If you came and saw her, would you be unhappy? I just wanted her to hurry up and leave. Why would I think so much?”

Xu Qingzhi couldn’t bring herself to express her anger.

Was Limo really Limo today?

This was… too abnormal.

“Didn’t you say that you wanted to save her face? Aren’t you worried that she will lose face now that you’ve said everything?”

Li Mo’s eyes darkened. “I’m already so shameless to keep my wife. Do I still have the mood to care about others’ faces?”

“Pfft…”

Xu Qingzhi was caught off guard. Limo’s words were too unexpected. She should have felt angry or uncomfortable, but…

What was wrong with him today? Why did his attitude change so quickly?

Seeing that Xu Qingzhi had finally smiled, Limo’s face relaxed and he smiled as he hugged her.

The surrounding people were also amused by the sudden change in atmosphere.

All of them covered their mouths and convulsed with laughter.

“So the person who has always wanted a divorce isn’t CEO Li, but Mrs Li!”

“That’s right. Look at CEO Li sucking up to Mrs Li. His desire to survive is off the charts!”

“Hahaha, I always thought that CEO Li was a cold, handsome, and domineering CEO! I didn’t expect him to be a wolfhound!”

“The relationship between the two of them is quite fun. They go against each other every day. They don’t like each other, but they like each other secretly… Haha…”

“In the end, I still think that CEO Li is too awkward!”

“But now, the misunderstanding between the two of them has finally been resolved…”

When someone mentioned that the misunderstanding had been resolved, their gazes landed on Mo Xiaona, who had remained silent.

“If not for the fact that someone is stirring up trouble inside, how could there be so many misunderstandings between these two people?”

“She deliberately changed the address of the gathering and deliberately didn’t answer the call. She made people stand in the snow for the entire night and deliberately created public opinion to pressure Mrs Li to divorce her. She even stole someone else’s things to give her a birthday present… This kind of person… has really embarrassed his ancestor!”

“That’s right! It’s said that people who are poor have aspirations. She’s good. If she doesn’t have the ability, don’t think of pretending to be fat! Giving her a luxury watch…”

Everyone didn’t hide their sarcasm towards Mo Xiaona.

Mo Xiaona stood rooted to the ground, the skirt in her hand wrinkled.

Humiliation surged towards her. Embarrassment and grievance spread from her heart, but she had nothing to say.

She had no strength to refute.

Back then, she only wanted to attend Limo’s birthday party.

She naturally knew that Xu Qingzhi had arranged for the product launch to be held today.

She knew that she and Limo had been tormenting each other for the past few days!

She should have made the decision to get a divorce long ago, but she had to delay it. She knew a little about Xu Qingzhi’s feelings for Limo.

Therefore, Xu Qingzhi was right. She was here to celebrate Li Mo’s birthday. It was feasible to create public opinion. Even if she really came to celebrate Li Mo’s birthday, her existence would definitely stab her heart ruthlessly.

Of the two of them, one was unwilling to face her heart, while the other was locked outside her heart. Even if they had feelings for each other, it would not be stable.

She had thought of many things, but none of them had occurred to her.

She would meet Xu Qingzhi today.

From the start, there was a foreshadowing.

If she and Xu Qingzhi appeared in front of Li Mo, they would definitely be compared.

But it wasn’t absolute.

But if the two of them appeared in the same dress, everyone would definitely compare the two of them…

After that, Limo’s attitude changed and Xu Qingzhi’s calm attitude…

It was completely out of her expectations.

She didn’t expect Xu Qingzhi to suddenly mention what happened many years ago, nor did she know that Fan Zhe would suddenly mention her birthday gift to Limo.

She didn’t even have the chance to lie and was caught off guard by the three of them.

She could only endure this humiliation without any chance to refute.

Everyone’s words made the smile on Li Mo’s face disappear.

Xu Qingzhi suppressed the emotions on her face and lowered her eyes. She reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear.

Li Mo placed one hand on her waist and patted it gently. He turned around and picked up the watch that he had thrown aside. He walked to Mo Xiaona and returned it to her.

Mo Xiaona’s hands trembled as she grabbed her skirt. “What do you mean?”

There was a faint coldness between Li Mo’s brows. “I didn’t agree to let you attend the birthday party. You lied to Qingzhi behind my back. This is unforgivable. Fortunately, you didn’t come tonight. If you didn’t come tonight, I might not have been able to figure out the matter that has been stuck in my heart for the past few years…”

“Unforgivable?” Mo Xiaona said slowly. In the end, she sneered sadly. “Limo, how can you make it sound so simple? I lied to her, but don’t you understand why?”

She shifted her gaze to the watch and reached out to take it. “Do you think that I stole money to buy this watch for you, so you feel that it’s dirty and embarrassing?”

Her entire body turned cold as she gripped the watch tightly. Her face was pale.

“But Limo, who do you think caused all this? I’m indeed a student from an ordinary family. Can’t you let me study well in school? Why did you have to provoke me to hide your feelings for Xu Qingzhi? You were the one who pulled me into your social circle!

Who are these people around you? What do you think I should do to stand beside you arrogantly? Don’t let myself be criticized by others? I’m trying my best to stand beside you!

But what did you give me now? My life has been ruined by you. Limo, do you know? My life has been ruined by you!

Everything had been exposed tonight. Not a single drop was left. Mo Xiaona’s tone was filled with hatred and resentment.

In the end, she couldn’t help but become hysterical.

Her voice was so loud that everyone couldn’t help but cover their ears.

Xu Qingzhi frowned and subconsciously moved back.

Li Mo reached out to cover her head and placed his wrist on her ear at the same time, trying his best to protect her.

His actions were extremely protective and Xu Qingzhi paused. It was just a subconscious action and she wasn’t really afraid. However, Li Mo’s actions stunned her and her body stiffened.

At this moment, she seemed to understand Fanxing a little more.

Why was someone who was usually so independent and strong a woman in front of Bo Jinchuan?

In the past, she was forced to be independent and had no choice but to be strong. Now, she had someone to rely on.

With someone to rely on, she could let go of her heart. In that case, she would still be a gentle woman.

Fanxing’s gentle side was reserved for Bo Jinchuan.

What about her…

The current Li Mo…

She blinked lightly, but in the end, Li Mo pressed her into his chest.

“Miss Mo!”

Li Mo’s first thought was to protect Xu Qingzhi.

Qiao Zhilan didn’t seem to be shocked by Mo Xiaona’s hysteria. Instead, she walked to the front calmly and called out to Mo Xiaona coldly.

“Ask everyone here. Who hasn’t dated a few times in their lives? If they’re compatible, they’ll get together. If they’re not, they’ll break up. Why can’t they get over it when it’s you?”

Besides, who among the people who knew about the Li family in Rongcheng City didn’t know what Limo had done to your family back then? Who left without a word back then?

Why? You can leave just like that. Does she deserve to be single for the rest of her life?

Mo Xiaona bit her lips tightly. “If not for you, I wouldn’t have left at all…”

Qiao Zhilan smiled and sighed. “Don’t think that we don’t know what you were planning when you left back then. Limo has been tormenting us all these years. You must be very happy elsewhere, right? Do you think that our Li family only has one son? Sooner or later, we won’t be able to withstand his torment and compromise with him?”

Cold sweat broke out on Mo Xiaona’s palms.

“I’ve told you long ago that Limo is my son. No one knows her better than me. You know his matters better than I do. Don’t you know who he loves from the beginning to the end?”

“…”

“You know that the person Limo loved from the start was Qingzhi. That’s why he resorted to such despicable means time and time again. You clearly know that Limo doesn’t love you, but you’re still unwilling to leave his side.

Limo had pulled her into his circle. Did he have to wear branded clothes and enter and exit luxury cars? Who said that he had to give her expensive gifts as birthday presents?

Everything comes from the heart. Because in your heart, in your eyes, you only see Li Mo, who was born into a prestigious family. Therefore, when you give a gift, you will only think of how to be worthy of him!”

“Compared to you, Qingzhi has been a rich young lady since she was young. What doesn’t she have? Is she short of money? Why did she choose to work and earn money to buy a birthday present for Limo? If she really likes Limo from the bottom of her heart, would you steal someone else’s money to buy a present for him? Are you insulting yourself or Limo?

In terms of being delicate? Wasn’t Qingzhi more delicate than you? She could think of using her hard-earned money to give Limo a birthday present, but you can only think of using your hands to steal from others?

Ask yourself, if you were someone else, who would you love?”

“You’re the one who has bad morals, but you still insist that it’s everyone else’s fault! Everyone has let you down?! This concerns your future, and I didn’t want to expose you! But tonight, you came uninvited and was exposed on the spot. You only have yourself to blame.”

“I’ve already told you some things. You’re the one who refused to give up… Face is earned, not given by others. Miss Mo, take care of yourself in the future.”

Qiao Zhilan looked gentle and generous. She had never raised her voice when she spoke. She was a typical noble lady. However, her words tonight were powerful and clear!

At the same time, her dissatisfaction with Mo Xiaona and her satisfaction and care for her future daughter-in-law were obvious.

The surrounding people started to discuss fervently. Their comments about Mo Xiaona were not pleasant to hear.

“If I were you, I would have covered my face and left long ago!” The old lady stood up with her walking stick and looked at Mo Xiaona sternly!

“That’s right! The more I look at her outfit tonight, the more ironic it is!”

Mo Xiaona took two steps back and gripped the hem of her dress tightly.

This red dress…

She suddenly turned to look at Fan Zhe. “Why? Did you arrange this? What feud do I have with you that you have to plot against me like this?!”
