Although she hoped that the false news would snowball and attract more attention, making the eventual ending more interesting.
However, after hearing Shi Huai's questions, Xia Qiao'an stopped in her tracks.
She didn't walk into the office, but instead stood at the door frame, quietly listening to the conversation inside.
Xia Qiao'an wouldn't use some despicable means to deal with Li Mochen because she still had that initial gratitude and appreciation in her heart.
Li Mochen wasn't necessarily like that.
Li Mochen had no emotional foundation with her. After believing that he was betrayed, he might use any means to retaliate.
Xia Qiao'an wasn't unprepared, but she still had hope.
Shi Huai repeated that sentence, "If you have the ability, come at me, what kind of skill is it to target a woman?"
Li Mochen was playing with the expensive lighter in his hand, the sparks flickered, with a rhythmic sound, but it made people restless.
After a while, he casually said, "You're betting the fate of the entire family for a woman, does your dad know about this?"
"You don't need to threaten me, Li Mochen, although you are powerful, you are not so powerful that you can cover the sky with one hand."
"I admire your confidence and courage." Li Mochen's words and actions were full of disdain.
Shi Huai didn't bother to say more, "Do you think you can destroy Xia Qiao'an by using this kind of means, ruining her reputation?"
Shi Huai stated firmly, "I tell you, it's impossible. Not to mention those photos are all fake, even if they aren't fake, and the whole world despises her, I won't."
"Pop..." Li Mochen's lighter lit up and didn't close again, the firelight was always shining.
Xia Qiao'an couldn't stand still, she knew that Shi Huai had feelings for her, but she only thought it was because of his admiration for her appearance.
When did it come to the point of being willing to be a "spare tire"?
"Pop..." Li Mochen's lighter closed, and his face was a bit terrifying.
He didn't understand love, but he understood a man. If a man didn't even care about a woman's reputation, then he might really be in love.
If someone were to tell him now that Shi Huai didn't know Xia Qiao'an before, then he wouldn't believe it even if he was an idiot.
Moreover, he was Li Mochen.
Xia Qiao'an, you are so capable, you have been deceiving me for three years.
In vain, I arranged for public relations to handle these false messages the first time I discovered them online.
When these photos were given to me, I was actually relieved, because I could see at a glance that it wasn't you.
It seems that I was still too kind to Xia Qiao'an.
So, from now on, let's play the game seriously.
Li Mochen lit a cigarette, and tilted his head to exhale a smoke ring, "So what if it was me?"
He raised his slender eyes, "I thought this kind of method was cheap and meaningless, but now seeing you look so crazy, it's quite interesting."
"Why don't we do this, I'll directly remove the mosaic from the website, how about it?"
"The internet doesn't care about the truth, it will become a cancer, etched in everyone's mind, and Xia Qiao'an will be a person with a chaotic private life."
"Then, let's see if your family will accept her?"
Li Mochen's words were like an ice cube in midsummer, instantly freezing Xia Qiao'an's hands and feet.
From the moment she divorced, Xia Qiao'an had warned herself to be herself, and not to be swayed by Li Mochen's words and actions; he had already become an irrelevant person.
But the fact was, she could control her thoughts, but she couldn't control her emotions.
"You're very pathetic now." Shi Huai sneered.
Li Mochen raised his eyes, and the air between the two people froze into icicles.
Shi Huai said, "Actually, you love Xia Qiao'an, don't you?"
Li Mochen laughed and patted the table, "Shi Huai, when did you start telling jokes."
Shi Huai pitied him, "I'm kindly reminding you, if you really love her, then compete with me fairly and openly, rather than using these underhanded methods. Xia Qiao'an is different from any other woman, it's not something you can make her succumb with force."
"Although I don't know what exactly happened between you, but the more you do this, the further you'll push her away, and she'll also hate you."
"You're helping me, Li Mochen, in this way, I have to thank you."
"By the way, you manipulate the stock market, manipulate online public opinion, you'd better be careful, once it's exposed, you'll fall into an abyss of destruction."
After saying these things, Shi Huai left with large strides.
He didn't notice Xia Qiao'an hiding to the side, and Li Mochen didn't notice either.
