Chapter Sixty-Eight
Therefore, it's not a big deal to lose to Zhou Qinian again.
Perhaps some things really do need to be urged to get a result.
Four months later, Zhou Mo finally got her father Zhou Qinian's reputation cleared and everything behind it. When Zhou Mo saw the reasons for framing Zhou Qinian, she didn't find it funny, but she felt extremely sad.
A girl suffered a bad thing, and even though her family had people who could support her, they kept silent because she was a girl, fearing that making a scene would damage their so-called family reputation. They even called it giving their future a chance.
So when everything was about to be discovered, a perfect scapegoat appeared in their sights.
As long as you lie, no one will know.
Just by lying... what a disgusting idea.
“I’ve never heard my father mention you.”
Zhang Xing sat opposite Zhou Mo, watching the girl who was still innocent in his memory grow into a young woman. She held a coffee in one hand, and her every move was calm and composed, showing no trace of the recklessness and pitifulness she once had.
"Because he feels guilty towards me."
"Come on, now that things have come to this, you can just lie to yourself. I came to see you, not to listen to your nonsense."
Zhang Xing's face instantly darkened. Although Zhou Mo had grown up, in his eyes, she was still the junior who had been quite polite to him.
Zhou Mo was extremely sensitive to other people's emotions. She put down her coffee cup, propped her arm on the table, interlaced her fingers, rested her chin on the back of her hand, and curled her lips into a mocking smile. "Your time is running out. The investigation team will find you soon. Where will you spend the rest of your life? In prison or a mental hospital?"
“Zhou Mo!” Zhang Xing stood up to confront Zhou Mo. His once proud physical fitness had gradually disappeared over the years of bowing and scraping. He had no longer learned how to stand up straight. Even when he looked down at Zhou Mo, it was as if he were asking a leader for instructions.
Zhou Mo chuckled, leaning back and crossing her legs. The smile added a touch of charm to her already striking appearance. "A dog that bites never barks. Zhang Xing, just like you used to be, sneaking around like a dog that doesn't bark. It's a pity you don't even have the skills to be a dog anymore."
Zhou Mo had no intention of wasting any more words with Zhang Xing, so she got up and left the coffee shop.
She paid for her own coffee; what did it matter to her what about the others?
The kidnapping of people's livelihood and the attempt to exonerate her father made Zhou Mo famous online, and some of her past deeds at school were also dug up.
Zhou Mo achieved a perfect GPA and exceptionally high extracurricular activity scores throughout her four years of university. However, what drew the most attention was not Zhou Mo's excellence, but her personal life. Many gossip enthusiasts used their connections from their student days to try and find out about Zhou Mo's love life during her university years.
Unfortunately, after making some inquiries, it turned out that Zhou Mo was even more Buddhist than the Buddhist figures in Beijing's elite circles in novels.
With her impeccable morals, outstanding abilities, and beautiful appearance, the word "perfect" quickly became associated with Zhou Mo.
Of course, there were also negative comments in the comment section. For example, one comment said that Zhou Mo was a very promiscuous girl in her freshman year. She fought with her best friend for a man and eventually became enemies. She also bullied her roommate, forcing her to leave the room.
This comment hadn't spread yet; it was deleted quietly as soon as it was posted.
"Mr. Zhou, the people in the information department have been monitoring keywords about Ms. Zhou Mo on various platforms as you instructed. They will deal with any comments that fabricate facts or promote negative public opinion as soon as they are found."
Zhou Xiao sat in the boss's chair, a thin black cigarette between her raised fingertips, the bluish-green smoke swirling upwards. She smiled, but the people next to her dared not look at her.
"Ideally, nothing that I don't want to see happens. You guys don't want a terrible weekend, right?"
"Understood, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Xiao waved his hand, and the people in the office immediately breathed a sigh of relief and left.
Zhou Xiao took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled.
Since Zhou Zheng's death, Zhou Xiao has gathered up some of his remaining forces. However, she is different from Zhou Zheng. What Zhou Zheng did was mortal, but she didn't want to. If she died, there would really be no chance to undo everything.
But before she can win him back, she needs to prove that she can live her life well.
This is the path she chose.
It will inevitably lead to ruin.
Whether it was right or wrong, she made her choice willingly this time.
Zhou Mo knew nothing about these things, and even if she did, she wouldn't show any reaction or expression. She believed in many things, including some minor metaphysical practices in life. For example, when she couldn't find something, she would ask a tarot reader to calculate its location.
Those who find it will say it's truly effective.
I won't be angry if I can't find it; it just means our time hasn't come yet. When it does, it will appear on its own.
Yu Xi's record is like this. Ever since Wei Huai gave it to her, she has just put it away. She remembers that when she graduated from university, she packed it in her suitcase and put it on the bookshelf in her new home. But when she finally settled down and wanted to go and check on it, she found that it was gone and she couldn't find it anywhere.
Even though it's not a very big home, I sometimes feel like I don't have enough storage space.
But once something is lost, when you start looking, there's space everywhere, and you can store things anywhere.
Zhou Mo wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, the place was so small, she would find it eventually. Maybe one day she would just reach out and glance at it, take something or go to get something else, or she would see it and find it on her way to find something else.
She will suddenly realize it, feel that it makes sense, and also feel that it is a surprise, a gift that has been lost and found again.
Therefore, she wasn't in a hurry at all.
Now she has plenty of time and the patience to wait.
