Chapter Seventy-Four: The Resumption of Strife
Skipping the strangeness in his heart, Leng Mo's sharp eyes were still staring at the girl, and he asked aggressively: "It's just so?" β
Xu Xiangsi's heart was beating wildly, but he had to carry out the lie to the end.
"That's it, really, and it's been so long, if something bad happens, how can it be hidden from you, right?"
She explained methodically, her eyes stubbornly looking directly into the man's gaze, and it seemed like a hundred percent truth, if you ignored the nails that sank deep into the flesh.
If it were given to ordinary people, even if he had doubts just now, he would be moved by her firm eyes now, but Leng Mo has raised her for so many years and knows her too well, even if three years have passed, he can still firmly judge that the girl is lying.
However, judging from the current situation, if you want her to speak obediently, you can only use a tough attitude.
If it was three years ago, Leng Mo would not hesitate to take immediate measures, he had a way to make Xu Xiangsi speak, but now, Xu Xiangsi is no longer the nominal niece of the Leng family, she has even become a mother, even in the face of Xu Yuanyuan, he should not do too much.
"Sisi, I'll give you another chance." Leng Mo closed his eyes, "Tell the truth." β
Xu Xiangsi raised his voice, drowning all his anxiety in his voice, "This is the truth!" β
At this time, a soft Lolita voice came from the corridor, "Mommy, I'm so sleepy." β
Xu Yuanyuan rubbed her eyes and looked at them ignorantly, her face was full of sleepiness, she blinked and asked, "When will you tell me a story?" β
Little Lori has to fall asleep with Xu Xiangsi's voice every night before going to bed, either a bedtime story or a lullaby, without her mother's company, she can toss in bed for a long time.
"Mommy's coming." Xu Xiangsi couldn't wait to leave the balcony quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her daughter and went back to the room.
Leng Mo's deep eyes were cold, but he still decided to give the girl a night of peace, and stepped back to the bedroom.
In the room, Li Manxue was tossing her wet hair with a hair dryer, and when she saw the man entering the door, she greeted her gently: "Mo, your hair will dry soon, and it won't disturb your rest." β
Listening to the woman's flattering voice, Leng Mo suddenly felt bored, so he simply went to bed and looked sideways at the woman next to him, but he couldn't help but recall that night three years ago over and over again in his mind.
It is true that President Leng has always been strategizing and decisive, and at his point, there are very few things that can make him call "incredible", but that day, although he was drunk and dizzy, he probably knew what he had done.
That night, the sweet and soft woman in his arms was not Li Manxue, which had already detected the difference in his later feelings, but it was not terrible, the most terrible thing was that he always felt like he saw Xu Xiangsi subconsciously, and the girl he was raising with his own hands lying under him!
After this illusion appeared, Leng Mo deliberately ignored the events of that night, but at this moment, he carefully groped out the memories of that day in his mind.
After a while, Leng Mo leaned over and looked behind Li Manxue's earlobe.
In his memory, there should have been a delicate mole there, but Li Manxue was clean behind his ears, and it seemed that there was no one.
"I'll do it."
Li Manxue was in a hurry to finish blowing, and when she heard the man's words, although her voice was not gentle enough, it was already unusual and considerate to be able to say it from his mouth.
"Okay, I'm sorry for you." With a secret joy, Li Manxue handed the hair dryer to Leng Mo.
Originally, she thought that Leng Mo would not come back to the room tonight, so she washed her hair while she had time, but now that she saw him come back, she took the initiative to take care of herself, not to mention how sweet it was.
However, she didn't know that Leng Mo's eyes looking at the back of her neck were cold at this moment.
This time, he finally saw clearly that there was no bewitching red mole in his memory behind Li Manxue's earlobe, if he had forgotten a lot of details, then this detail would never be ambiguous.
"On the day Sisi went abroad, did you send her?"
Li Manxue was immersed in the sweetness of being cared for by cold ink, and this abrupt sentence made her stunned, and she subconsciously opened her mouth: "No, I didn't come back that day"
However, when she finished answering, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and changed her words in an instant: "Oh, you said that on the day she graduated, of course I gave her a gift." β
The movements in Leng Mo's hand had long since stopped, and the room was so quiet that she could hear a needle dropping, and Li Manxue didn't even dare to look back, she was afraid that the other party would read the answer from her eyes.
Why did Leng Mo suddenly ask about this? Could it be that Xu Xiangsi said something to him?
"Are you sure?" Leng Mo's voice was faint.
Li Manxue breathed a sigh of relief and gritted her teeth and responded, "Of course." Amo, why do you suddenly ask this? Did something happen that day? β
However, she didn't wait for Leng Mo's answer, but was slammed onto the bed.
Li Manxue exclaimed, and after reacting, she found that Leng Mo was above her, looking at her coldly, "You are lying." β
"IβI didn't!" Li Manxue's response at this time was almost panicked after being exposed.
Leng Mo squinted, his eyes were even sharper and colder, Li Manxue only felt that she was going to be cut into a puppet by this sight, and finally lost.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't make it back that day!"
From the moment the woman told the truth, Leng Mo knew that something was breaking through the ground.
Seeing that the man didn't seem to let her go, Li Manxue hurriedly added: "I really don't know what happened that day, wasn't it just you and Xu Xiangsi who were together that day?" I'm really not lying! β
Of course she lied, but this is her last bottom line, if she tells Leng Mo in person now that she knows what Xu Xiangsi has done with him, she can't imagine the next scene!
Even now, with the two in such an intimate posture, Li Manxue only had fear and panic, and did not have the courage to raise a trace of ambiguous feelings.
Leng Mo straightened up and loosened the shackles of the woman, and Li Manxue immediately avoided curling up in the other corner like a snake and scorpion.
This night, Xu Xiangsi also couldn't sleep.
finally lulled her daughter to sleep, but she herself looked at the ceiling and tossed and turned.
Leng Mo may check what happened before, otherwise she would have run away with the child?
Thinking about it like this, Xu Xiangsi suddenly became clear-headed, in case Leng Mo continued to pursue it, she would leave first and go to a place where he couldn't find it, he could still find it in China, but there are so many countries in the world, wouldn't it be good for her to go far?
Although he was fully prepared for his psychological construction, he was so worried that he couldn't rest well in the middle of the night, and the next day, Xu Xiangsi got up and found that he had a pair of panda eyes.
After taking her daughter downstairs, Xu Xiangsi found that Li Manxue's eyes also had a faint layer of blue-black, which could be seen even if she wore heavy makeup.
This time, Xu Xiangsi felt even more uncomfortable.
Look, she was shaken again, and thought that Leng Mo had what she thought about the previous things, but people were still able to go through the clouds and rain with her fiancΓ©e all night without distraction, so what was she worried about?
The heart seemed to be pierced by dense thorns, but it didn't hurt so much, Xu Xiangsi pulled the corners of her lips self-deprecatingly, she was already numb, wasn't she?
Similarly, the moment she saw Xu Xiangsi, Li Manxue's eyes were full of thorns.
If it weren't for this woman, how could she have been treated like that by Leng Mo last night!
"Aunt Li, good morning." Xu Yuanyuan was hugged to the table by Xu Xiangsi, and Li Manxue, who rushed over, greeted politely.
Li Manxue smiled lightly: "It's early in the circle." β
She was holding a bowl of hot gruel in her hand, and the moment she passed by Xu Xiangsi was next to Xiao Lori's seat, at this moment, Li Manxue Ghost tilted her wrist slightly.
When the bowl of hot lotus seed porridge was about to be sprinkled on the top of the little girl's head in an instant, Xu Xiangsi quickly pushed the bowl hard!
"Smack!"
The sound of the bowl breaking alarmed Aunt Mei and the housekeeper in the kitchen, as well as Leng Mo, who had not yet come to the restaurant.
"Shhhh Li Manxue hurriedly held the back of her hot hand and rushed under the faucet.
"What's wrong?" The housekeeper and Aunt Mei both looked surprised.
Xu Xiangsi was about to speak, but Li Manxue said aggrievedly with red eyes: "Sisi, I know you don't like me and don't like me living here, but you shouldn't bully people like this, what did I do to be sorry for you, you want to target me again and again?!" β
Xu Xiangsi almost gasped, this woman's black and white upside-down kung fu is still as perfect as it was back then!
"Obviously you want to pour porridge on Yuanyuan!" Xu Xiangsi glared at her angrily.
If she hadn't noticed it in time and pushed it very quickly, the bowl of hot porridge would have burned her daughter! Why can this Li Manxue be so vicious, even such a young child can do it?!
However, Li Manxue's hoarse voice was even more sad and innocent, "Sisi, I admit that there is a bit of a holiday between us, but I am not so mad that I want to hurt Yuanyuan, is it too much for you to slander me like this?!" β
Xu Xiangsi blocked his evil breath in his heart, and just wanted to raise his voice with momentum: "Excessive? You"
"That's enough."
It was Leng Mo who spoke, and he had a gloomy face, obviously not in a good mood at the moment.
"What's the noise early in the morning? Why don't you get back to your seat? β
The man's words lightly exposed Li Manxue's evil deeds, leaving Xu Xiangsi dumbfounded.
She never thought that Leng Mo could cover Li Manxue to this extent! Regardless of whether what the two said is true or not, at least one or two questions should be asked, right? However, Leng Mo actually ignored the whole thing!
If it was about Xu Xiangsi herself, she might be able to bear it down, but for her daughter's matter, she was unwilling to skip it so easily, it was too unfair!
