Chapter 104: Driving a Lamborghini

Li Mo’s current achievements were simply beyond what her eldest daughter could match.

Even though Su Xiaoxiao’s Xiaoxiao Cosmetics was about to go public… her assets and accomplishments still couldn’t compare to Li Mo’s.

“I did see Li Mo.”

“Is there something wrong?”

Su Xiaoxiao continued, “I went to our old place today and found out Li Mo has sold the apartment. Do you know where he’s living now?”

Liu Pingping remained silent for a moment before slowly replying, “I don’t know… and now Yanyan is also staying at school. That university romance of hers has ended too, so don’t worry about it.”

Everything Liu Pingping said was meant to protect Su Xiaoxiao.

She had no idea what kind of blow Su Xiaoxiao would face if she learned the truth.

“I understand, Mom. Take care of yourself in Suzhou.”

“I’ll come visit you during the New Year.”

Su Xiaoxiao put down her phone. Everything Liu Pingping had just told her was good news.

Yet, she couldn’t feel the slightest bit happy inside.

Although her mother had shared nothing but positive updates, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, even if she couldn’t pinpoint what.

The night grew deeper, but Su Xiaoxiao lay awake, unable to sleep.

…

On the other side, Liu Pingping sat on the sofa, also unable to sleep for a long time.

She had never stopped reflecting on past events.

Should one follow their true inner feelings?… Liu Pingping felt she couldn’t figure it out in the short term, but she believed the answer would gradually reveal itself with time.

“Xiaoxiao, I hope you won’t be too upset in the future. Some things that are lost were never meant to be yours.”

“Mom also made a mistake by advising you to divorce.”

Although she had returned to Shenzhen, Liu Pingping didn’t go to work. Her mind was in turmoil, and she had no heart for her job. Too much had happened these past few months, she needed to think things through carefully.

She turned on the newly configured computer in her room and logged into her QQ account. She didn’t chat with anyone, just repeatedly browsed through her profile information.

Thinking about those sincere emotions, she even felt the urge to return to Shenzhen immediately. But in the end, she restrained herself again and again.

…

Late at night.

After spending a long time being affectionate with Li Mo, Su Qingyan finally went back to her room to sleep.

She had also forgotten about the call her sister made to Li Mo. After all, she and Li Mo were about to register their marriage.

She would soon be Li Mo’s lawful wife.

She was already looking forward to the day she could call Li Mo her husband.

Li Mo opened his call log and saw Su Xiaoxiao’s incoming call again. Had that woman really dialed the wrong number?

It seemed unlikely, but since they were divorced,

there was no turning back. Li Mo couldn’t possibly rekindle any significant connection with Su Xiaoxiao.

Just as he was about to sleep, Su Xiaoxiao called again.

“Hello, Xiaoxiao. You had something to discuss when you called earlier, right?”

Li Mo’s voice was the same as before, but now it carried a touch of coldness.

Hearing the chill in Li Mo’s voice, the sleepless Su Xiaoxiao felt as if a piece of her heart had been hollowed out.

In the past…

she and Li Mo had been so close, and his treatment of her had been beyond reproach.

If they hadn’t divorced, he would probably still be treating her with the same tenderness, just like before.

“I went to our old place today and found out you sold the apartment.”

“Where are you living now?”

Li Mo thought about it but decided not to tell Su Xiaoxiao.

“Let’s just leave it at that. We’re divorced now, it’s time to say goodbye to the past.”

“I think people should look forward.”

He didn’t want Su Xiaoxiao to disturb his life, nor did he want to frequently see this woman he had once deeply loved. He knew all too well how much pain this woman had caused him. The deeper the love, the greater the hurt.

Many men choose to become emotionally detached precisely because they’ve been hurt, by not investing emotions, they avoid disappointment.

Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t expected that Li Mo wouldn’t even be willing to tell her where he lived.

“Today, I think I saw you on Yanjiang Road. You were driving a Lamborghini, was that you?”

Li Mo didn’t deny it.

“What a coincidence that you saw me.”

Li Mo’s confirmation made Su Xiaoxiao’s phone slip from her hand and fall onto the sofa.

It really was him. What Jiang Nannan said was absolutely true.
