Chapter 270 The Power of the White Moonlight



"You've got what you wanted, you can get out now!" Liao Nanxing finally couldn't help but growl.

Li Anran raised an eyebrow and looked at Liao Nanxing.

"What are you looking at? Get out!"

"Hmph! A guy who climbed up by stepping on women, he really thinks he's something special."

"roll!"

Li Anran carefully put away the letter of understanding, straightened his collar, and left Liao Nanxing's ward without looking back.

The weight that had been hanging over his heart for days finally settled down.

He had previously worried that even if he spent the money, he wouldn't get things done.

As expected, these people were just as they said; once they took action, there was nothing they couldn't accomplish.

Next, all that's left is the result of Zhao Tinghai's identification.

However, with Liao Nanxing and Xu Xiuzhen setting an example, it's believed that Zhao Tinghai's situation will also be fine.

This money was really well spent.

Seeing that it was still early, Li Anran turned around and headed straight for the detention center.

When I saw Su Mu, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had been crying for a long time.

"Mumu, why are you crying like this?"

"Anran!" Su Mu hadn't even sat down yet when she rushed over and grabbed his hand.

Her hair was disheveled, she looked haggard, and she seemed dazed.

Even his face was pale.

In just a few days, Su Mu lost a lot of weight.

Her once beautiful oval face has now become a spindle-shaped face.

Her sunken eye sockets made her look sickly.

"Don't cry! Didn't I tell you to take care of yourself? Why are you..." Li Anran felt extremely distressed.

The good mood I had before couldn't outweigh this sadness at this moment.

He withdrew his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Su Mu's face, too heartbroken to speak.

"Anran, Anran..."

Su Mu pressed his face against Li Anran's palm and gently rubbed it.

"I thought... I thought... you didn't want me anymore." Su Mu's aggrieved voice and pitiful appearance were like a kitten abandoned by its owner.

"How could that be!" Li Anran exclaimed excitedly, "Fool! I'd rather give up the whole world than give up you!"

Seeing a slight smile on Su Mu's face, Li Anran's mood improved considerably.

"Good boy, look what I brought you!" He eagerly took out the letters of understanding from Liao Nanxing and Xu Xiuzhen and handed them to Su Mu.

"This...you...how could they?" Su Mu exclaimed in surprise.

She knew Liao Nanxing and Xu Xiuzhen too well.

How could these two people so easily issue a letter of understanding?

In her view, the reason these two didn't take advantage of her illness to kill her was because Liao Nanxing had gone to great lengths to obtain a certificate of mental illness from his student's wife.

If she hadn't had that get-out-of-jail-free card in her hand, how would she have dared to make such a big fuss?

You see, her first thought was to fake a mental breakdown and kill that beast Liao Nanxing! She did a lot of research and study online to prepare for that day.

Later, she consulted online and learned that if she did that, although she would be spared death, she would have to spend the rest of her life in a mental hospital.

If no relatives adopt Xiaobao, he will be sent to an orphanage. The mother and son may never see each other again in their lives.

Xiao Bao is her life, her everything.

How could she let Xiaobao live such a life!

After careful consideration, she decided not to carry out the idea.

Later, she remembered that when Xu Xiuzhen was angered by Zhou Chunhua to the point of having a heart attack, the doctor had said that Xu Xiuzhen should pay special attention to her diet and must not get high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar.

She then came up with a second solution: feeding them pig feed.

She checked relevant information and found that pig feed has no toxic side effects; it only makes people who eat it fatter and fatter.

Then... they'll become useless pieces of trash, bedridden and unable to take care of themselves!

At that point, it would be much more peaceful than simply killing them.

Lost in thought, he heard Li Anran's gentle voice: "Don't worry about that. From now on, I'll support you."

Don't worry, Mumu, I'll come to pick you up and take you away from here in the next day or two.

Su Mu's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Li Anran nodded and gently pinched Su Mu's cheek.

"What promises have I made to you that I haven't kept? Just wait a few more days and I'll come to take you home."

"Mmm." Su Mu nodded, pressing his face against Li Anran's palm again.

"I'm so glad that God let me meet you again."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Soon, it was time for the visit.

Su Mu started crying again as he was being taken away.

Because she knew that the more pitiful she appeared, the more she could hold onto Li Anran's heart.

That evening, Su Mu again used the excuse of a stomachache to refuse to eat.

Having lost her parents' care at a young age, she understands that being tough on herself when necessary is not a bad thing.

If she eats well and sleeps well here, and gets fat and healthy, how could she possibly hold onto Li Anran's heart?

Only by being ruthless to oneself can one make Li Anran remember the guilt she felt when facing them, and make her think of her every moment, leaving no time to look at others.

Otherwise, if she weren't by Li Anran's side, wouldn't those little vixens put Li Anran on the hot seat?

However... Su Mu still couldn't figure it out.

She still couldn't understand how Liao Nanxing and Xu Xiuzhen's letter of understanding came about.

I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

It wasn't until late at night that Su Mu finally understood what was going on.

Li Anran was, after all, a boss with some wealth.

Liao Nanxing was down on his luck at the time, so it's likely that Li Anran gave him the money, and Liao Nanxing and Xu Xiuzhen compromised.

Especially Xu Xiuzhen.

On the surface, he pretends to be aloof and superior, but in reality, he is a complete miser.

She was very frugal with the money in her hands, splitting it in half to spend it.

You want her money? That's harder than taking her life.

For people who are obsessed with money, there's nothing they can't do if the money is right.

"Yes, yes, that must be it." Su Mu said smugly.

Li Anran has plenty of money.

After all, he had practically maxed out Li Anran's credit card those few days, and Li Anran hadn't uttered a single word.

You should know that when Liao Nanxing was willing to spend money on her back then, it was at most buying her a bag, taking her out for a walk, or having a meal together.

She has never been financially independent.

If it weren't for Li Anran, she probably would never have known how wonderful it is to be financially independent and able to buy whatever she wants and spend it however she wants.

Wasn't it for this ideal that she willingly climbed into Liao Nanxing's bed back then?

She never expected that what she had tried so hard to obtain from Liao Nanxing, she would get so easily from Li Anran.

This... is perhaps what novels often refer to as the power of the "white moonlight" (a metaphor for unattainable love).
