“But…” She smiled and continued, “I told her that 10 million is too little. Your net worth is so high, she should at least add another two zeros. She seemed very angry and felt that I was greedy, so the matter was dropped.
“After that, she probably felt that negotiation was useless, so she targeted my family. She got someone to set Xiao Hai up and he was sent to the police station. When my parents were most anxious, she called them and told them that she could help get Xiao Hai out.
“Her condition was for my parents to find me a man and marry me off as soon as possible.”
Seeing Mo Shixiu’s increasingly gloomy expression, Jiang Luoli smiled and said mockingly, “The man you saw previously was my neighbor. Our families have known each other since we were young. My parents drugged my food and handed me to him.
“Brother Zewen is a good person, so he didn’t do anything to hurt me. I’m really grateful to him.”
There was another meaning behind her words.
If her parents hadn’t handed her over to Xie Zewen, she didn’t know what would have happened to her.
And such luck wouldn’t come every time.
If Madam Mo did something to her again, she might not be so lucky.
Madam Mo didn’t succeed this time. So, she would definitely be even more ruthless next time.
Mo Shixiu was a smart person, so he naturally understood what she meant.
His expression was a little cold. “Why did you only tell me this now?”
Jiang Luoli looked at him. “I’ve been wondering if I should say it. No matter what, she’s your mother. I don’t want to affect your relationship with her. But I’m really afraid that she’ll do something even worse to make me leave you.
“She’s the distinguished Madam Mo, rich and powerful. It’s easy to deal with a little girl like me. Mo Shixiu, I’m really afraid. I just want to live a peaceful and stable life. I hate living in fear every day.”
“I understand.” As soon as she said that, she felt a warmth in her palm. She looked down and saw that Mo Shixiu was holding her hand.
The man looked at her coldly. “I won’t let what you’re worried about happen. From now on, I’ll arrange for someone to protect you. Also, my mom…”
He frowned and said, “I’ll talk to her. I won’t let her hurt you again.”
His words comforted Jiang Luoli.
He trusted her and never doubted her.
He wasn’t biased just because Madam Mo was his biological mother.
“What do you want to talk to her about?”
“Of course it’s about you. I won’t let her interfere in my love life anymore.”
Jiang Luoli kept quiet for a while and pursed her lips. “What if she doesn’t agree to us being together?
“Mo Shixiu, will you break up with me because of this?”
Mo Shixiu didn’t hesitate and replied quickly, “Then, I don’t have to bother about her thoughts and opinions. If I can’t even decide on my wife and have to listen to my parents’ opinions, I’m not worth being with you.”
Wife…
Jiang Luoli’s heartbeat accelerated.
In his heart, she was already his wife.
