Chapter 483: Chapter 340: Feel free to do as you please, act as if I don’t exist._2
What exactly happened to him?
Did Murong Qian turn down his confession of love?
Or does it have something to do with him breaking off the engagement?
At this moment, Mo Shiting, whose love life was extraordinarily sweet, couldn’t help but feel sympathetic towards his best buddy.
He leaned against the window with one hand in his pocket, staring at the glistening river not far off, hesitated for a moment, then made a phone call to Li Jinyao.
It took a while before the phone was answered, and Li Jinyao’s haggard voice came through, “Hello…”
“What happened to you?”
Mo Shiting frowned, wondering why everyone was acting so unnaturally.
“Just left the hospital. Ruoruo tried to commit suicide this afternoon. She barely survived.”
Li Jinyao’s voice was devoid of emotion.
Mo Shiting immediately thought of Lu Cong and asked, “Is it because of the broken engagement?”
“Yeah.”
Li Jinyao nodded heavily and didn’t hide anything from him, simply and succinctly described what had happened that afternoon.
Only then did Mo Shiting learn that Lu Cong had been in M Country recently to do something for Elder Li. This afternoon, after successfully handling the matter, Lu Cong rushed to the Li Family home to break off the engagement right after landing.
In order to keep his promise, Elder Li agreed to dissolve their engagement. Li Ruoruo couldn’t bear the blow and swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills. Thankfully, the servants discovered her in time and rushed her to the hospital, saving her life.
Now Mo Shiting understood why Lu Cong was in a bad mood tonight.
As a protective brother, Li Jinyao naturally blamed Lu Cong and ended up in a fight with him.
Both of them were injured to varying degrees, causing a rift in their brotherly bond.
Both were close friends of Mo Shiting and he didn’t want to show favoritism, but he still spoke the truth: “Forcing a relationship won’t make it sweet!”
“I know that of course.”
Li Jinyao’s tone was not pleasant, “Lu Cong can’t make Ruoruo happy, better to break it off now than prolong the pain, everyone understands this principle. But if Ruoruo loves him so much, why can’t he make the effort to love Ruoruo?”
Mo Shiting: “…”
Men who haven’t experienced the baptism of love are indeed naive.
If to love, or not to love, someone could be controlled by one’s heart, then it would not be love anymore.
After ending the call with Li Jinyao, Mo Shiting was about to return to the box, when he turned around, he saw a young woman standing two meters away from him, smiling at him with exceptional elegance and grace.
Mo Shiting was taken aback, it took him about two seconds to recognize her.
“Shiting, I didn’t expect to run into you here.”
Shen Yunsi gracefully walked up to him, looked up at him.
“What’s the matter?”
Mo Shiting’s attitude was very cold, looking at her as if looking at a stranger.
Shen Yunsi’s smile was slightly cracked, but her mental toughness was superb, she quickly responded, her gentle tone carried a hint of resentment, “We are old friends after all, your attitude is really hurtful, you know?”
Mo Shiting pulled a slight smirk, “Miss Shen, you and I have never been friends! I am leaving now, excuse me.”
As he finished speaking, he walked past her and moved forward.
Unexpectedly, as he brushed past her, Shen Yunsi quickly grabbed his arm, “Is it because of Gu Li that you’re keeping me at arm’s length? Our families have been family friends for generations, I’ve known you since school, after so many years even if we’ve had so many meals together, we’re not even friends? Shiting, you really know how to hurt someone.”
After Shen Yunsi delivered her lament, she didn’t give Mo Shiting a chance to shake off her hand, but immediately let go.
She was used to being the one in control no matter the situation!
Mo Shiting ignored her, walked forward briskly without looking back towards the private room.
Watching his tall figure gradually move further away, Shen Yunsi coldly snorted, a hint of resentment lurked in her smile.
Mo Shiting, one day, I’ll make you beg for my forgiveness!
…
In the private room, the warm scent of the hotpot filled the air, along with continuous laughter and chatter.
With Mo Shiting yet to show up, Gu Li decided to not wait any longer and urged her friends to start eating.
Seeing this, Mi Dong couldn’t help but ask, “Is this appropriate?”
Gu Li picked up a chopstick with beef and put it in her mouth, laughing, “What’s inappropriate about it? You must be hungry, start eating. Eat!”
“This…”
Chen Xue and Mi Dong looked at each other, both feeling uncomfortable about it.
After all, that’s Mo Shiting, being able to dine at the same table with him was already a great honor, how could they start eating before he arrived?
“It’s okay. Brother Ting doesn’t really eat hotpot, it’s mainly me who wanted it.”
Gu Li continued to encourage them.
