C25 Redemption

The lights were bright, the river of stars was bright, but it was nothing compared to that man's smile.

To Liu Ying, these women who mocked and teased her were no longer important. Right now, there was only one person in her heart.

Qin Mo was wearing a pure white suit. The corner of his mouth raised as he walked over with a gentle but polite smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you doing here? Is the dessert not delicious enough? Is that why you don't like me? If so, I am going to punish the cook at home."

Qin Mo asked with a smile.

He was already very good-looking. Even through the glasses, one could see the sparkle in his eyes. His words were funny. Even when he asked, people didn't feel bored at all.

Those girls all blushed, but it wasn't because they were ashamed of their bullying behavior. They just felt that they had lost face in front of the handsome guy, so they were a bit shy.

"It's nothing, Master Qin. We were just chatting with Miss Liu. After all, we haven't seen Miss Liu in a long time. We missed her, so we came here to ask about her."

The woman in red was even more so. She no longer had the overbearing attitude from before. Instead, she put on a noble and self-restrained appearance. However, the way she secretly glanced at Qin Mo, and the slight blush on her face, revealed all of her thoughts.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Qin Mo turned a blind eye to it. His gaze only stayed on her for a few seconds before naturally moving away. His gaze landed on Liu Ying, who was at the side.

The woman followed Qin Mo's gaze and lowered her head unwillingly. She secretly gritted her teeth.

He glanced at Liu Ying, who was surrounded by a group of people. Her face was pale, and she looked pitiful. He cursed in his heart, "Bitch who goes around seducing men."

However, the woman never thought that she was the one who brought people to stop Liu Ying. She was the one who stopped Liu Ying from leaving. From beginning to end, Liu Ying did not show any signs of wanting to pester Qin Mo. On the other hand, the woman herself stared at Qin Mo the moment she saw him, as if she wanted to stick to him.

The woman didn't seem to remember that Qin Mo was the hero of today's engagement party.

However, this could be considered a shameless act. The woman thought that there was nothing wrong with what she did, but when it came to other women, she found it unbearable.

"Of course it's true. Master Qin, do you think I would lie to you? Liu Ying and I had known each other since childhood. We were in the same class in primary, middle, and high school. I know her all too well. Her mother was sent to a mental hospital when she was very young. She herself was always gloomy and gloomy. It was very worrying."

The woman rolled her eyes and thought of a good idea.

On the surface, she said these words to show that she was close to Liu Ying, but in reality, she was telling Qin Mo that Liu Ying's mother was a lunatic. She herself had never been likeable since she was young, and she was eccentric all the time. It was very likely that she had inherited her mother's madness.

The woman was very proud of her wit and looked at Liu Ying with ridicule.

Didn't she like to seduce men? Which man would like a woman who might go crazy?

Liu Ying, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame your own bad luck. Who told you to have such a bad background? People like you can only be hated by others and don't deserve to be liked.

"No, no, I don't."

Liu Ying retorted. She wanted to argue but had nowhere to say. Her entire body seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Why?

Liu Ying shouted in her heart.

She hadn't done anything wrong, but she had always been humiliated by others. That was fine, she could bear it, but why did she humiliate herself like this in front of Qin Mo?

She had always been looking forward to the day she would meet Qin Mo again. She had even fantasized countless times that on the day they met again, she would dress up and tell her angel that she had been doing well all these years, that she was no longer the little girl who could be bullied, that she had lived up to his expectations.

But now, everything was ruined.

Liu Ying looked at Qin Mo with an obvious pleading look in her eyes.

However, Qin Mo did not look at her. Instead, his entire body was emitting a cold aura.

Liu Ying felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse. It was as if she had been thrown into the eighteen levels of hell and would never be able to rise again.

"Miss, it doesn't seem good to discuss other people's family matters like this? Didn't your family teach you what respect is?"

Qin Mo was still smiling, but there was an obvious coldness in his smile.

He had always been gentle and refined in front of others. He was tactful and would not easily offend others.

However, Su Mei had just noticed that the situation here was a little strange. She felt that being surrounded by girls was a little pitiful, so she called her over to take a look and relieve the situation.

Qin Mo originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He himself wasn't someone who was willing to help others. But thinking about how today was his engagement day with Su Mei, if he really caused a ruckus, it would not be good for his reputation.

Originally, he wanted to gently remind her, but he didn't expect someone to be so insensitive, so Qin Mo could only say something else.

"You! You!"

The woman did not expect Qin Mo to respond in such a way. She looked around at the people around her who had their heads lowered and did not dare to look directly at her followers. She felt as if she had lost all her face.

However, the Qin family was still considered a famous family. Now that they had become in-laws with the Su family, she was afraid that they would become even more powerful in the future.

Since she couldn't offend them, the woman was so angry that her face turned red. She snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

"Are you alright?"

Qin Mo asked.

In fact, if one looked carefully, one could still see the impatience and coldness in Qin Mo's eyes.

However, Liu Ying did not have the time to think about it.

Her angel saved her once again.

"Mo!"

A delicate voice sounded.

Liu Ying was about to open her mouth and talk to Qin Mo, but she was interrupted. She looked towards the source of the voice and saw the female lead of the engagement banquet walking over leisurely. She naturally took Qin Mo's hand.

"Mo, why are you here for so long?"

Su Mei asked Qin Mo with a sweet smile on her face.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say that I would go and find you later?"

Qin Mo touched Su Mei's hair. His love seemed to be about to overflow from the screen.

"I've been waiting for a long time. I don't want to be separated from you for too long. Today is the engagement banquet. You have to stay with me all the time."

Su Mei said coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, alright. I'll do as you say."

Qin Mo replied.

"I'm sorry for the poor reception. Please forgive me."

Qin Mo turned his head and said a few words to Liu Ying, then left hand in hand with Su Mei.

Only Liu Ying was left behind, staring blankly at their departing figures.
