Chapter 1312: Chapter 1312: Tearing off the Mask (4)
“Mom is overthinking it. She and I are friends; does that an I can’t et her for dinner just because she’s married? Also, Hongxing is not the kind of person Mom describes. I don’t like it when you speculate about her like that. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.” After saying this, Mo Li hung up the phone.
Lin Zhi called back quickly, and although Mo Li hung up several tis, Lin Zhi kept calling relentlessly, forcing him to answer again: “What is it now?”
“Son, I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t fall for Ms. Su’s romantic trap, I’m afraid she might hurt you…” Lin Zhi’s anxious voice reached Mo Li’s ears.
Mo Li felt it was absurd: “So in Mom’s eyes, Su is that kind of woman. If that’s the case, why did Mom try to set up with her back then?”
If Su Hongxing took a fancy to him and set up a romantic trap, he would actually be pleased. Unfortunately, Su Hongxing didn’t have such intentions towards him at all.
“Back then she wasn’t married; now she’s soone else’s wife. Why can’t you understand? I’m doing this for your good; don’t get too close to her, she will ruin you—”
“Wait a minute, Mom, clarify what you an. Why do you say Su will harm ? My friendship with her isn’t just a day or two thing. Who’s been spreading rumors to you?” Mo Li grew even more suspicious: “How did Mom know about my frequent etings with her?”
Apart from a call last Saturday when he told Lin Zhi about eting Su Hongxing, he hadn’t ntioned it to Lin Zhi afterwards.
Given that, who has been gossiping to Lin Zhi?
“I…” Lin Zhi looked at the photos in her hand, all of them were of Mo Li eting Su Hongxing, photos taken by soone she had sent.
“I just ntioned it casually. I’ve been feeling uneasy lately, always afraid sothing might happen to you, that’s why I said what I did earlier. Son, heed my advice, try to limit your etings with Ms. Su. I’m afraid it might rekindle old feelings and disrupt her marital life,” Lin Zhi said earnestly.
Hearing this, Mo Li replied softly: “I understand. Let’s leave it at this, don’t call again tonight, Mom.”
After hanging up, Mo Li sat stunned for a while before returning to the dining table and sitting down.
“Whose call was that, why did it take so long?” Su Hongxing served Mo Li so dishes: “Co on, eat, the dishes are getting cold.”
“It was my mom, she likes to nag,” Mo Li was still pondering over the words Lin Zhi had just said to him, the more he thought about it, the stranger it seed.
Logically, Lin Zhi used to hope he and Su Hongxing could get closer; even after knowing Su Hongxing was married, she jokingly said that he should snatch Su Hongxing from Ding Ye.
The tone Lin Zhi used just now, it was as if Su Hongxing was going to harm him, which was very odd.
“What did your mom say, you look upset?” Su Hongxing probed subtly. It definitely wasn’t sothing pleasant; Mo Li was normally easygoing, and only upset expressions like this appeared if soone really annoyed him.
So, had Lin Zhi couldn’t restrain herself, asking Mo Li to stay away from her?
If that’s the case, she could almost be certain of one thing: Lin Zhi had a guilty conscience.
“It’s nothing serious.” Mo Li avoided Su Hongxing’s gaze.
Su Hongxing stared intently at Mo Li: “You’re avoiding eye contact, scared to look at , could it be your mom asked you to stay away from ? Or, is she afraid I might harm you?”
At those words, Mo Li was taken aback.
“Looks like I guessed right.” Su Hongxing’s heart sank continuously.
