Chapter 519 Explanation and Flattery
Because Mo Xiaoxiao cut off his relationship with her in public at Lu's house yesterday, Su Xiangxi didn't say it out loud, but he was still angry. Now that he saw Mo Xiaoxiao coming to see him, for the first time he didn't feel the joy he used to have.
Mo Xiaoxiao noticed that he didn't wear the scarf she gave him around his neck today, and knew that he was really angry this time. You know, he never took off the scarf before.
"Xiangxi, do you have time? I want to talk to you." Mo Xiaoxiao said softly.
"What to talk about?" Su Xiangxi's face was gloomy, and his tone was obviously full of dissatisfaction and sarcasm:
"Talk about our pure revolutionary friendship?"
Mo Xiaoxiao knew that he was mocking her by saying this, and she was not angry. Instead, she said very aggrievedly:
"I know you are angry about what I said yesterday. I don't mean anything else. I just want to say goodbye to you."
Su Xiangxi, who was still angry, heard Mo Xiaoxiao say that he came to say goodbye, and his face became visibly tense. He asked hurriedly:
"Where are you going? Going back to Country M?"
The last time Mo Xiaoxiao left was more than two years ago, and he missed her for more than two years. He finally waited for her to come back, and their relationship had made some progress. Now he suddenly heard that she was leaving again. How could he not be anxious.
Seeing that Su Xiangxi was already in a state of anxiety, Mo Xiaoxiao then spoke:
"My father is under investigation, and I guess Minsheng and I will be sent back to his hometown."
Mo Xiaoxiao did not cry sadly. Instead, she looked at Su Xiangxi affectionately with her watery eyes and said sincerely:
"I was afraid that time was too short and I would not have time to say goodbye to you, so I came to you in advance to tell you."
She knew that Su Xiangxi would definitely know about the investigation of Mo Jianguo later, and now she took the initiative to tell him in advance to avoid making him suspect that she came to show her goodwill to him because she wanted to stay.
"Your father is under investigation? Why?" Su Xiangxi is just an extra staff member, so naturally he cannot get the news at the first time. Hearing that Mo Jianguo was under investigation, he was really surprised.
"I don't know the specific reason, but it should be very serious. I went to ask, but they refused to tell me. They just told me to go home and pack my things and wait for notification at any time." Mo Xiaoxiao said with tears in her eyes.
She did not tell Su Xiangxi the reason. First, she felt that this reason was a bit shameful, and second, it was to create her image of a little white flower who knew nothing and was innocent.
"Don't worry, I'll help you find out what's going on." Su Xiangxi's attitude softened, but he was not as enthusiastic as before.
"Xiangxi, don't get me wrong. I didn't come to you to ask for your help. I just want to apologize to you for what happened yesterday and say goodbye." Mo Xiaoxiao said quickly, and then with a reluctant look, she uttered four words:
"Xiangxi, goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Mo Xiaoxiao didn't stop for a moment, turned around and walked forward.
Su Xiangxi didn't understand her playing hard to get. Seeing that she was about to leave, he immediately became anxious. Without thinking, he immediately walked up to her and tried to hold her.
But Mo Xiaoxiao told him not to care about it. During the tug, Su Xiangxi's hand accidentally touched Mo Xiaoxiao's face. Mo Xiaoxiao immediately covered her face and made a suppressed cry of pain.
Seeing her deliberately hiding her face, Su Xiangxi realized something and asked,
"What's wrong with your face?"
"Nothing?" Mo Xiaoxiao said nervously, as if she didn't want Su Xiangxi to know.
The more she did this, the more curious Su Xiangxi became. He raised his hand and took off her mask, only to see five palm prints suddenly appear on Mo Xiaoxiao's face.
Su Xiangxi's face changed immediately, with a sinister light in his eyes, and he asked in a loud voice:
"Who hit you?"
When Su Xiangxi was about to take off her mask, Mo Xiaoxiao let him take it off. After he saw everything clearly, she pretended not to want him to see it, and quickly put it on. She said weakly:
"Xiangxi, don't ask."
"Who hit you?" Su Xiangxi was obviously really angry. Thinking of their attitude towards her at Lu's house yesterday, she seemed to understand something and asked in a raised voice:
"Was it Xia Qingxi?"
He knew that Xia Qingxi had always hated and targeted Xiaoxiao. Apart from her, he couldn't think of anyone else who would hit Xiaoxiao.
"No, no..." Mo Xiaoxiao waved her hands and said, and then showed a look of wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Who hit me?" Su Xiangxi asked more anxiously.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Mo Xiaoxiao acted very embarrassed, lowered her head slightly, and answered softly:
"My dad."
"Your dad?" Su Xiangxi was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked:
"Why did your dad hit you?"
Mo Xiaoxiao has always been a good girl at home, sensible and filial. Su Xiangxi could not think of any reason why Mo Jianguo hit her.
"Xiangxi, don't ask." Mo Xiaoxiao said hesitantly, looking like she didn't want Su Xiangxi to know, and turned around to continue walking forward.
Su Xiangxi was confused and distressed. How could he let her go like this? He immediately grabbed her arm and asked her seriously:
"Xiaoxiao, do you still consider me a friend?"
"Of course I consider you a friend." Mo Xiaoxiao said quickly with a sincere and aggrieved look.
"Then tell me what's going on?" Su Xiangxi looked at her without blinking.
The atmosphere became tense, and Mo Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before saying with some embarrassment:
"Actually, my dad has always been very opposed to us making friends." At this point, she lowered her eyes, looking even more aggrieved:
"I've always told him that you're very good, excellent in every way, but you just don't have the opportunity to show it, but... I don't know why he's so determined to oppose it."
After hearing what Mo Xiaoxiao said, Su Xiangxi's face paled visibly. No one knew the reason better than him, and it was all because of his identity.
"Actually, I know your feelings for me... The reason why I never responded to you is because I'm afraid my dad would be unhappy if he knew." Mo Xiaoxiao said softly, and then continued:
"That's why I said in front of everyone yesterday that we are just friends... Actually, I was also very sad in my heart." After saying this, Mo Xiaoxiao immediately said:
"Because I felt guilty towards you. After I went back, I heard my dad say again that I was not allowed to associate with you, and I talked back to him. I said that making friends is my freedom, and I can like whoever I like..." Mo Xiaoxiao deliberately paused here, and then continued in a low voice:
"It is also my freedom."
Hearing her say the word "like", Su Xiangxi's gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, and great joy filled his heart.
In Su Xiangxi's surprised expression, Mo Xiaoxiao continued:
"Dad was very angry, so...he hit me."
Before coming to Su Xiangxi, Mo Xiaoxiao had thought of these sensational words. It happened that Mo Jianguo was angry about Zhu Wanru being taken away yesterday, so he hit her.
He hit her hard at that time, and the marks on her face have not disappeared yet. Now he just made full use of it to win Su Xiangxi's sympathy.
After hearing what Mo Xiaoxiao said, Su Xiangxi's joy immediately turned into sympathy. He gently took off the mask on Mo Xiaoxiao's face, and saw that on the originally white face, there were several slap marks, which were clearly visible, and it was particularly distressing to see.
He never thought that Xiaoxiao would suffer so much injustice for him. He misunderstood her yesterday. He deserved to die!
Su Xiangxi had no doubt at all about the reason why Mo Xiaoxiao approached him. After all, two years ago, when he was at his worst and most unbearable, she never despised him and was willing to be friends with him.
Now she has silently endured so much for him. How could he not be moved?
There is no other girl as gentle and kind as her in this world.
Now Su Xiangxi even thought darkly in his heart:
It’s just right that Mo Jianguo is arrested now, and he will no longer stop him and Xiaoxiao from being together.
