“Baby, are you asleep? Did I wake you up?”
Qiao Mianmian slept early because of the shoot. When Jiang Luoli called her, she was sleeping very soundly.
But she lied. “I just lay in bed for a while, I’m not fully asleep yet.”
“Where’s Prince Charming, is he with you?”
“Mm, he’s asleep. So I went to the balcony to answer your call.” The temperature in the morning was a little cold. The wind blew on Qiao Mianmian’s face, blowing away her sleepiness.
“Luo Luo, it’s so late, why aren’t you asleep?” Qiao Mianmian sounded worried. “Did something happen? Is Mo Shixiu with you?”
“I can’t sleep.” Jiang Luoli kept quiet for a while before saying, “He’s with me, and it took him a lot of time to look for me. He’s still busy in the study. Baby, are you sleepy now?”
Qiao Mianmian realized that Jiang Luoli had something to say to her, so she said, “I’m not tired, I slept very early today. Luo Luo, do you have something to tell me?”
“Mm. I don’t know if I should tell you, but besides you, I don’t know who else to talk to. Baby, I want to tell you something. I want you to counsel me.”
Jiang Luoli kept quiet for a few seconds before continuing, “Baby, you know that Xiao Hai was arrested because he owed someone a sum of money. But do you know who set him up? Although I don’t have complete evidence, I’m sure she was the one who set him up.”
Qiao Mianmian was confused. “Who?”
“Madam Mo.”
Madam Mo?!
Qiao Mianmian was shocked for a few seconds. “She did it? So she set up a trap to capture Xiao Hai, and her target was actually you? She wanted to use Xiao Hai to force you to leave Mo Shixiu?”
“More or less. But her methods are more powerful than you think. She didn’t use Xiao Hai to force me to leave Mo Shixiu directly because she knew that her son had the ability to return the 10 million yuan. She threatened my parents to help her solve the problem.
“If I agreed to leave Mo Shixiu, I might go back on my word.
“But if I marry another man, she won’t have anything to worry about.”
Qiao Mianmian was shocked again. “You mean, she forced you to marry someone else?”
“She looked for my parents, but I don’t know what she said to them. In any case, my parents wanted me to marry another man for Xiao Hai. Thankfully, that person was a neighbor I knew since I was little. Otherwise, I don’t know what I would have faced when I opened my eyes.
“Mianmian, do you think I should tell Mo Shixiu about this?
“If I tell him, which side will he stand on?
“If he sides with his mother, do you think we will break up?”
Mo Shixiu treated her very well.
But Jiang Luoli wasn’t confident that he would stand on her side.
After all, Madam Mo was his biological mother.
Mo Shixiu must be filial.
Jiang Luoli never expected him to fall out with Madam Mo because of her.
Qiao Mianmian thought for a while before saying, “Luo Luo, if you’re asking for my opinion, I think you can tell him. This time, Madam Mo didn’t succeed, but it’s hard to say what will happen next time. You can’t fight Madam Mo alone.
“I’m afraid she’ll be even more ruthless next time.
“Only by letting Mo Shixiu know about this matter and letting him settle it can it be resolved. Even if it isn’t resolved, with his ability, he can protect you.
“I believe he’s not filial to the degree you’re thinking. He’ll definitely stand on your side.
“When I first got together with Mo Yesi, we were worried about the same thing. But his performance didn’t disappoint me. I believe Mo Shixiu is the same. He definitely won’t be confused just because Madam Mo is his mother.”
