Chapter 98: Revenge
Chen Xiao and Huo Zhou quickly greeted them. “Uncle Lu, Aunt Lu, hello.”
Lu Mo’s gaze landed on the dispirited Li Xiaoran, and a hint of grievance and displeasure flashed across her eyes. However, she still forced a smile and pulled her mother in front of Li Xiaoran. She introduced her politely, “Mom, this is Li Xiaoran, your future son-in-law.”
Lu Mo’s mother sized Li Xiaoran up and saw that although he was slightly dispirited, it did not reduce his handsome and noble aura at all. She was extremely satisfied with Li Xiaoran and nodded with a smile. “You’re indeed a talent. No wonder my Momo fell in love with you at first sight.”
Lu Mo’s mother was dressed very luxuriously, her eyes cold, but she was attentive and kind to her “poor son-in-law”. This made Li Xiaoran’s lonely heart, which had not been loved for many years, feel a little warm.
Li Xiaoran said, “Aunt Lu, you flatter me. Actually, I’m not that good. I might not know how to take care of Momo…”
His refusal was very obvious.
However, Lu Mo’s mother did not despise him at all. Instead, she comforted Li Xiaoran gently, “Xiaoran, no one is born to be someone else’s boyfriend and a qualified husband. I know that you are committed to your career. You dedicated your energy to the patient, so our family understands you. You can’t do everything yourself for Momo, so we won’t blame you.”
Li Xiaoran was speechless.
Huo Zhou warmly invited Lu Mo’s parents into the VIP room. Li Xiaoran and Chen Xiao walked behind. Chen Xiao advised Li Xiaoran earnestly, “Senior, Lu Mo’s parents really like you. Lu Mo loves you so much. You should consider this marriage carefully.”
Li Xiaoran glared at him. “It’s not like you don’t know that I have a mysophobia. If I don’t like her, I can’t be intimate with her…”
“Oh my, you’re a doctor but you can’t cure such a small illness.”
Chen Xiao pushed Li Xiaoran into the private room.
After they sat down, Li Xiaoran composed herself and stood up apologetically. He bowed to Lu Mo’s parents and apologized. “I’m sorry, Uncle Lu, Auntie Lu. I have to explain this to you. Actually, Momo and I were caught in a misunderstanding. That day, I drank and Momo ran to my room. I mistook her for the girl I liked. I did something I shouldn’t have done to her. I originally wanted to take responsibility for my drunkenness, but these days, I’ve tried my best to accept Lu Mo, but I’m sorry, I can’t.”
......
Lu Mo’s father looked at Lu Mo with a dark expression. “Momo, is that so?”
Lu Mo looked at Li Xiaoran with tears in his eyes. “Senior, you have feelings for a married woman. There’s no outcome between you and her. Don’t be stubborn.”
Li Xiaoran lowered his eyes and said in pain, “Momo, there won’t be a good outcome even if you like me. I sincerely hope that you can find a man who loves you. That way, you can obtain happiness.”
Lu Mo started sobbing.
Lu Mo’s father sat there awkwardly. When her mother saw that her daughter had been wronged, she suddenly stood up and splashed tea on Li Xiaoran’s face. She said angrily, “Li Xiaoran, since you’ve already slept with my daughter, you should be responsible for her. I don’t care who you liked in the past, but you have to forget her now. I won’t allow you to hurt my daughter.”
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Chen Xiao quickly stood up to smooth things over. “Auntie, you’ve misunderstood my senior. Qiao An is indeed my senior his first love, but Qiao An betrayed him back then. When Senior Brother returned to the country this time, his goal of getting close to Qiao An was only to take revenge on Qiao An for hurting him back then…”
Everyone was silent.
Chen Xiao added, “He just wanted Qiao An to fall in love with him again and then abandon her ruthlessly. He wanted her to have a taste of being abandoned by her lover. That’s all.”
The atmosphere in the room suddenly calmed down. However, no one noticed the waitress at the door with trembling hands.
Qiao An felt that she was so lucky. Her friend had something on at the last minute. She had asked her to take over for two hours, only for Qiao An to stumble into such a melodramatic scene.
“Is that so?” Lu Mo’s mother asked.
Qiao An looked at Li Xiaoran who nodded.
Although she had known that he was close to her with sinister intentions, Qiao An’s heart was shattered again.
However, she pretended to be extremely calm and walked towards them.
Lu Mo was the first to see Qiao An. Her eyes widened in shock.
Qiao An placed the juice on the dining table and took out white porcelain cups. She elegantly filled everyone’s glasses.
Li Xiaoran’s gaze never landed on the waitress. He fell into deep thought. Was his feelings for Qiao An really just revenge?
Why was he sad to see her injured?
Would he be proud to see her bravely fight Li Zecheng?
His emotions were led by her, his emotions were tied to her…
When Qiao An poured juice for Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao inadvertently looked up and jumped up in shock when he saw Qiao An.
“Qiao An?”
His sincere “Qiao An” pulled everyone’s gaze to Qiao An.
Li Xiaoran was clearly shocked. When he looked up and saw Qiao An, guilt and panic flashed across his face.
His dark gaze studied Qiao An’s face uneasily. Not wanting to miss every nuance of her expression.
Qiao An’s face was expressionless, like snow. It was so cold that there was no warmth.
Li Xiaoran wanted to explain something, but he swallowed his words.
He had wanted to take revenge on her and let her know what it was like to be abandoned by her beloved. All those years, he had suffered from mental anxiety and depression. When it was serious, his hands trembled and his studies were almost abandoned.
How difficult it was for him to walk out of it. If she didn’t taste his pain, how would she know how much he loved her?
Qiao An poured juice for everyone and bowed very politely before turning around and leaving.
She did not say a word throughout. But everyone could feel that she had heard everything.
Chen Xiao patted his mouth in anger and blamed himself. “It’s over, it’s over. I seem to have gotten into trouble.”
Huo Zhou said, “It’s not your fault. Who would have thought that she, the Young Madam of the Li family, would be a waitress here?”
Lu Mo actually felt relieved. She said, “It’s good that she knows. This way, she won’t have any delusions about Senior anymore.”
Her words undoubtedly splashed a bucket of ice water on Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran suddenly stood up and chased after her.
