Chapter 165 The Pretense at the Charity Party

Hearing this, Xiao Nanye opened his eyes. He did not know if he should believe her words. He only knew that he did not want to let go of this woman.

Xiao Nanye lowered his head and kissed Su Mo's hair. He said in a hoarse voice, "Momo, never lie to me."

Lu Shaoqi had already asked someone to inquire about the matter of Leo. In the blink of an eye, another month had passed, but there was still no news from the charity house.

Although Su Mo was anxious in her heart, she could not do anything, and she looked much more haggard.

The relationship between her and Xiao Nanye had improved since the honest talk that night.

Xiao Nanye was still very good to her. She felt that something was missing, but she couldn’t tell what it was.

Judging from the time, Su Mo's "pregnancy" should be more than three months. In her current condition, as long as she met others, this trick would definitely be exposed. Therefore, she absolutely could not go to Xiao Manor.

Moreover, ever since Xiao Nanye said those words last time, Su Mo was not as close to Xiao Manor as before. Just as he said, she was not one of the Xiao Family after all.

Therefore, when Xiao Manor's people called, she only half-heartedly said that Xiao Nanye was busy with work and that when he had time in the future, they would go back to see Grandpa together.

Xiao Nanye never returned to Xiao Manor twice a year in the past, so Xiao Zhendong believed this excuse.

When Su Mo saw Zhou Hongsheng again, it was at a charity party.

Su Mo went with Xiao Nanye.

That day, she was wearing a beautiful silver dress. Her long hair was curled up behind her back, and she wore M Jewelry's latest sapphire earrings.

When she came in holding Xiao Nanye's arm, Su Mo saw Zhou Hongsheng. His arm was holding a young girl, and the smile on his face was hypocritical and dazzling.

Xiao Nanye went to greet the host of the party. Su Mo did not like to deal with people. She hid in the corner alone. When she saw Zhou Hongsheng talking to someone, she took the initiative to greet him.

"Chairman Zhou." Su Mo brought a glass of wine over.

Zhou Hongsheng was a little surprised to see Su Mo, but he still nodded politely and said, "Miss Su, nice to meet you!"

Su Mo raised her glass at him. "I thought about it carefully when I went back last time. I was indeed rude to you. I hope you don't mind."

"You’re too polite. Under such circumstances, it was normal for you to mistake me for someone else." Zhou Hongsheng nodded in satisfaction.

As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to Su Mo, "If you can think this way, then I can rest assured."

Out of courtesy, Zhou Hongsheng drank the wine in the glass, but Su Mo did not drink a single mouthful. She just watched him drink with a smile.

Zhou Hongsheng put the empty glass aside and picked up another glass from the waiter who passed by. He raised the glass toward Su Mo.

"When I went back, I asked my wife and found out that Miss Su's family used to do jewelry business.

"No wonder that M Jewelry's advertisement is so incredible that it leaves a deep impact on the minds of the people. President Xiao is really lucky to have a girlfriend like Miss Su!"

The first thing he said was flattery, not at all like the person Su Mo knew before.

Su Mo heard his words and sneered in her heart, but she still pretended to deal with him on the surface.

"I should be impressed by Chairman Zhou. I heard that Chairman Zhou used to do business in cooked food. I didn't expect that you would start a jewelry business and do it so well."

Zhou Hongsheng was indeed an old fox. Su Mo deliberately brought up this matter, but he still smiled calmly.

He shook the wine glass in his hand as he said, "Miss Su, please don't say that. Back then, Su Clan Jewelry was in a hurry to be sold, and I was also lucky to pick up such a great bargain.

"However, I can see that M Jewelry is overpowering during this period. At the same time, this brand has conquered both domestic and foreign markets. My Hongsheng Jewelry's future will be bleak!"

He deliberately mentioned Su Clan in front of Su Mo because he wanted to see her reaction.

Both sides were testing each other, and the result depended on whose endurance was stronger.

Before she came, Xiao Nanye had already reminded Su Mo to be careful when she met Zhou Hongsheng.

At this moment, she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and faked a smile at her enemy. "Chairman Zhou is being modest."

M Jewelry had been in a good situation ever since it was listed. Of course, Su Mo knew about this because she had been personally involved in this project.

In less than half a year, the staff in M Jewelry quickly expanded from a few people to nearly a hundred people.

Xiao Nanye also spent a lot of money to hire many excellent designers from all over the world to register a jewelry company and also planned to make the company listed.

Perhaps it was because Su Mo's eyes were too calm, and her reaction was completely different from when they met at school, which made Zhou Hongsheng feel very uneasy.

It was a typical case of him having a guilty conscience. He felt uncertain and chatted with Su Mo for a while before he went to look for his beauty with a wine glass.

Su Mo did not try to stop him. Instead, the gaze she looked at him from behind slowly turned cold.

Before coming here, Xiao Nanye had specially told her that the time was not right yet, and she could not shed all pretense of cordiality with Zhou Hongsheng, let alone let him feel that they knew the truth.

Otherwise, Zhou Hongsheng would probably repeat the same trick seven years ago. If he were to escape abroad with the money, things would be troublesome.

Su Mo thought to herself, "Qin Xiuwen, what you owe Su Family, I will make you pay back everything with full interest sooner or later."

After being patted on the shoulder, Su Mo quickly put away the gloomy expression on her face and raised her head with a smile on her face.

She thought it was Xiao Nanye, but when she turned around, she saw Lin Jinyao's worried expression. "Momo, I finally see you."

"Brother Jin?"

Su Mo was a little surprised. After returning from Marseilles, she had never seen Lin Jinyao again. She only knew that Xiao Nanye had not done anything to him!

What she did not know was that Lin Jinyao had been looking for her many times before this.

At first, Su Mo was under house arrest at Yu Garden. Naturally, Lin Jinyao could not find her. Later, he went directly to Ling'an Group to find her, but he was stopped by the security guards.

Not seeing Su Mo, Lin Jinyao wandered around Ling'an Building almost every day. He planned to exhaust Xiao Nanye to the end.

Today, he came here because he heard that Xiao Nanye would also attend the charity party tonight, so he held the mentality of giving it a try. He thought that even if he could not see Su Mo, he would have to make it clear to Xiao Nanye.

It was an unexpected surprise for him to see Su Mo here. He pulled Su Mo and walked out. "Come with me!"

Su Mo was pulled by him all the way to a remote corner. She was stopped and she suddenly fell into an embrace. "It's all because I'm too useless. Momo, I'm sorry!"

Lin Jinyao had always been a gentle and elegant noble young master. He never did things that were lacking in manners in public. Today, he was a little abnormal.

Su Mo was very worried about being seen. She was very clear about Xiao Nanye's character. If it was spread to his ears, she was not sure what would happen.

She thought to herself, "He would probably put me under house arrest for another month!"

Su Mo reached out to push him, but Lin Jinyao was very strong. He hugged her tightly and refused to let go. She only said, "Brother Jin, don't be like this. Can you let go of me first?"

Lin Jinyao refused to let go. He shook his head and said, "Momo, do you know how much I miss you? I miss you all day and night. My heart aches for you."

There seemed to be footsteps in the distance. Su Mo was afraid of being seen and shouted at him anxiously, "Lin Jinyao, if you continue like this, I will be angry."

In the past, although Su Mo was a little arrogant and willful, she had always been gentle. She would not speak loudly like now. Her current appearance was completely different from what he remembered.

In fact, last time in Marseilles, Lin Jinyao had felt that his princess had grown up, but he was not willing to admit it.

Lin Jinyao let go of Su Mo and looked at her with his deep eyes. He hated the time he missed.

He said, "That day in Marseille after you were taken away by him, I kept looking for you. I really regret that I should not have kept you alone."

The pain in his expression made him unable to look straight at him. Su Mo felt a little stifled in her heart. She turned her gaze away and took a deep breath. Only then did she have the courage to look at him and speak.

"Brother Jin," she said, "since you have remembered, then you should also remember what happened at the hotel that morning."

Lin Jinyao seemed to have guessed what she was going to say and wanted to stop her, but she said with a determined expression, "I can't accept that matter, let alone you.

"I think that even if time went back, you would still abandon me. You can't accept me like that, and I am no longer the one you knew in the past.

"So, Brother Jin, forget me!

"Just forget me, isn't it good?"

"No!"

"Momo, we've been together for ten years, not ten days, not ten months, but ten years!" Lin Jinyao shook his head vigorously.

"How many decades does someone have in them?

"In my heart, you are the only wife in my life. If not for my memory loss, we would have been married long ago. Maybe now our children can run all over the place.

"I tried so hard to find my past self and tried so hard to save everything, but you now ask me to forget you.

"How can you say such words?

"Momo, how can you bear to do that?"

A series of questions exploded in her mind, leaving Su Mo unable to respond. She did not want to hurt him.

When Lin Jinyao approached, Su Mo subconsciously took a few steps back. She knew that this action was very hurtful, but she still did not dare to give him hope.

"Momo, I am really sad!"

"No, it's not like that." Su Mo cried and shook her head as she listened to him call her name in a hurtful state.

"Brother Jin, I don't want you to be sad, but there is no way! We can't go back to the past." She looked at Lin Jinyao with tears streaming down her face.

"There is a way!"

Lin Jinyao looked at Su Mo with a determined gaze. He did not dare to approach her, afraid that he would scare her away again. He could only look at her from afar and say, "Momo, believe me. There must be a way!"

"God, why did you do this to me? What did I do wrong?" Su Mo squatted on the ground, hugging her knees and crying uncontrollably.

"Momo, I can feel that you still love me, don't you?" Lin Jinyao felt sorry for Su Mo. He slowly walked over and squatted down beside her.
