?Chapter 216: Chapter 216: I Don’t Want to Disappoint Brother Mo Chen Anymore Chapter 216: Chapter 216: I Don’t Want to Disappoint Brother Mo Chen Anymore Qiao’s mother, at the moment of turning around, saw her and a tender smile appeared on her face.
“Xinxin,e here.”
She walked over to her mother.
Actually, from childhood, her mother doted on her excessively, even spoiling her.
Just as Qiao’s mother was about to speak, she coldly interrupted, “If you’re going to talk about getting me to leave Mo Chen again, then don’t bother. I don’t want to hear it.”
Qiao’s mother sighed, “I just feel you two are not suited for each other. You don’t understand love, and even less can you see through his true nature.”
“Mom, can you give me a little freedom? You got married and divorced and then married again, did I interfere? No, I didn’t! I don’t meddle in your love life, so why must you interfere with mine?”
Every time this topic came up, they would unconsciously start arguing.
Qiao Ruoxin sat down on the rattan chair sofa nearby.
She inadvertently caught a glimpse of Simon’s reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window, looking refined and cultured, yet exuding a sense of scumminess.
Qiao’s mother sat opposite her, speaking in an unhurried tone, “These past two years, I think you and Simon got along quite harmoniously. Why won’t you try to ept him? Because he loved Jiang Ruolin before? Which man doesn’t have a past?”
Qiao Ruoxin scoffed, “Got along harmoniously? Where did you see any harmony?”
For the past two years, she had almost always been ying a game of escape with Simon. This was her 45th time running away, and she had finally seeded.
“I’m telling you from my own experience, Simon is more suitable for you. He has a gentle temperament, handles things steadily, and you, being na?ve and inexperienced, need a man like that.”
“Mom! Enough! I’ve heard this from you for two years now, and I’m sick of it.”
Qiao Ruoxin, almost unable to bear it any longer, stood up, “I came to see if you were okay, and since you are, I’ll be leaving now.”
Then, she turned and left without looking back.
Qiao’s mother watched her daughter’s retreating figure, murmuring softly, “Foolish girl, you understand nothing. I will make you see Mo Chen’s true colors.”
Qiao’s mother indeed had a great prejudice against Mo Chen, and it could even be said she held some fear towards him.
Because of a young girl’s murder case many years ago, all the evidence seemed to point to Mo Chen being the culprit.
But the power of the Mo Family was so great that they managed to suppress the whole incident.
…
As Qiao Ruoxin was passing through the living room, she happened to see Simon standing there, hands in his trouser pockets, backlit by the light.
“Sweetheart, you seem very afraid that I’ll say something to Mo Chen. Are you afraid he will misunderstand?”
“Don’t you think you’re asking for too much? You want me, and you also want to be Jiang Ruolin’s knight in shining armor. With your scumbag nature, my mom actually thinks you’re a good man?”
With those words, she went to leave.
Simon grabbed her delicate wrist, “It’s not possible for someone to only love once in their life. Ruolin is just a friend to me, nothing more. I don’t love her, and she doesn’t love me.”
Qiao Ruoxin looked at him with disdain and pulled back her hand, “I’m not interested in your rtionship! Besides, who says it’s impossible to only love once in a lifetime? Keep your phndering speech to brainwash my mom!”
She left the vi with a heartless turn, only the cold sound of the door closing behind her.
Simon, facing the lingering presence of her scent in the air, said, “It’s your fault for not showing up earlier.”
…
Qiao Ruoxin left the vi, suddenly feeling a sense of rity.
Her mother was still so persistent, not changed at all, so there was no need to feel any guilt towards her.
But she really didn’t want to disappoint Big Brother Mo Chen anymore; she owed him too much.
She feared she could never repay it in this lifetime.
