Chapter 185 Are you going to the provincial capital?

After Su Li finished her last class, she returned to the office with the lesson plan.

As soon as I reached the stairs, I saw Li Mo standing there.

"Xiaomo? Why are you here?"

Su Li was a little surprised and walked over quickly.

Li Mo smiled, revealing two shallow dimples.

"Aunt Liu is worried about you, so she asked me to come and see you."

Su Li looked a little embarrassed. "I'm fine. It's all over."

She didn't want to make Li Mo worry, so she forced herself to smile.

How could Li Mo not see through her feigned toughness? She smiled and said, "I got some royalties, so I'll treat you to a nice meal today."

Su Li curved her lips and said, "Then I won't be polite."

"Eat as much as you want."

Li Mo took Su Li's arm and accompanied her back to the office to put her things away. The two of them left talking and laughing.

Zhao Xinran looked at Su Li, who was still as glamorous as ever, while she herself had fallen from the clouds into the quagmire.

She was extremely jealous at the moment. Everyone around her was talking and laughing, strolling on the campus, while she was rushing out to go to work.

Li Mo and Su Li sat down in a romantic restaurant. As it was still early, they did not order food right away.

"Lizi, are you attracted to Fu Jinzhou?"

Li Mo asked directly, and Su Li didn't hide it. "It should be. My heart beats faster for no reason when I'm with him."

"Fu Jinzhou is so outstanding and so considerate to you, it would be unreasonable for you not to be moved."

"But I also know that we're not suitable for each other, so it's best to calm down now before we invest too much."

Su Li smiled bitterly after saying this.

"Su Li, if you feel you're not worthy of him because of your past, I don't agree. Fu Jinzhou loves you and still chooses you despite knowing your past. This shows that in his heart, you've surpassed the prejudices of ordinary people."

"Besides, we Suli people are beautiful and kind-hearted. If I were a man, I would also be completely fascinated by you."

Su Li rolled her eyes at her. "Are all the things reporters say so exaggerated?"

"How's that an exaggeration? Just tell the truth!" Li Mo quipped, then smiled, "Pear, but then again, we can't always live in the past, and we can't always stick to the old ways."

Su Li looked at her puzzledly and blinked in confusion.

"As for your relationship with Fu Jinzhou, don't be too quick to deny yourself or this relationship. I don't think Fu Jinzhou is someone who would just sit there and wait for death. Just follow your heart and give him time, and give yourself time, too."

Li Mo held Su Li's hand, with worry in her eyes.

"Don't worry about me. I've been through so much, there's nothing I can't figure out."

Li Mo patted her hands and said, "I know you are strong, but I am worried."

She paused, a hint of reluctance in her tone.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

From the moment she sat down, Su Li felt that Li Mo had some other emotions.

Li Mo looked at her and nodded, "Actually, if Aunt Liu didn't come to find me, I was planning to come to find you too."

Su Li looked at her expression and guessed that it was not an ordinary matter, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Well, the novels I wrote previously received pretty good reviews, so a publishing house in the provincial capital took a liking to them and wants me to be their editor."

She paused, a hint of relief in her eyes.

"I've been thinking about it for several days. I've already agreed. I went to work this morning to complete the paperwork."

Su Li was stunned.

"Are you going to the provincial capital?"

"Um."

Li Mo sighed softly.

"Ashan's been gone for so long, it's time for me to let go. I can't live in the past forever. I want to try a different place, maybe I can have a different life."

She raised her head and looked at Su Li, her eyes full of encouragement.

"Lizi, the same goes for you. Don't be trapped between family and love. You have your career and your pursuits. Why not go out and give it a try?"

Su Li's heart seemed to be hit hard by something.

Li Mo's words were like a flash of lightning, splitting the fog in her heart.

Yes, she has been entangled in the emotional entanglement with Shao Tingan, resentment, unwillingness, pain... These negative emotions are like an impenetrable net that traps her tightly.

It even made her forget that she had dreams.

She is Su Li, a woman of the new era, a university teacher, and a former newspaper writer. She has her own pride and pursuits.

I dreamed of achieving academic success and publishing my own books.

However, because of a man, she trapped herself in a small world.

Now she is feeling sorry for herself because of another man.

"Xiaomo, you're right. I really wasted the past two days."

Su Li's eyes gradually became clear.

She looked at Li Mo with gratitude.

"Thank you, Xiaoli, you are my timely help."

Li Mo smiled, so brightly and confidently.

"You're still saying thank you to me, sister." She held Su Li's hand tightly, "I just can't bear to leave you."

Su Li's heart ached. She was also reluctant to let go of her good friend of so many years, who was about to go to another city. She was afraid that she would not even have anyone to confide in in the future.

No matter how reluctant she is, Li Mo needs to start a new life now, so she must be encouraged.

"The provincial capital isn't too far away, only a two-hour drive. I'll go see you during the holidays. Besides, I still have winter and summer vacations, so I can go and be with you."

"It's a deal, you have to go with me."

The two were talking and laughing when a familiar voice was heard.

"What would you two like to eat?"

Su Li and Li Mo looked up suddenly when they heard the voice, and saw Zhao Xinran standing beside them with his eyes lowered. They looked at each other at the same time.

Zhao Xinran was reluctant to come over, and scout Su Li was very unhappy about it.

But she had to earn money to support herself, and her boss kept urging her to come, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and come.

Su Li glanced at her and then stopped looking at her, without intending to reply.

Li Mo smiled and said, "Give us two more dumplings for these two signature dishes of your restaurant. Su Li loves dumplings."

Su Li scolded, "Can you finish all the food you ordered?"

"If you can't finish it, eat it slowly. You don't have classes this afternoon anyway, so you have plenty of time. Eat at your leisure."

Zhao Xinran took note and turned to leave. Li Mo laughed and said, "If this person has no conscience, there's really no way he can change. He's like a dog that can't change its nature. He won't even give a little concession to his benefactor."

Zhao Xinran was stunned. She was just a waitress who served dishes. What discount could she get?

Besides, she has the money to order such expensive dishes, so why is she asking for a discount? It is clearly embarrassing her.

"Sister Mo, I'm sorry, I'm just a waitress and I don't have the right to give discounts."

Li Mo sneered, "It's rare that you know me, but how did you end up like this? How did you become a waitress? I thought you were the boss's wife? After all, you're so good at seducing men."

The proprietress sitting behind the bar pricked up her ears when she heard what Li Mo said.
