Mr. Mo took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable fear that surged up in him. He raised his eyes, his gaze fixed deeply on Su Luo, and said in a calm voice, "Miss Su, please stop quibbling. It's useless."
"So, you are admitting that you saw me with your own eyes?" Su Luo smiled faintly and stared at him without blinking.
"Miss Su Si, why do you want to humiliate yourself again? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes that day, how would I dare to testify against you?" Mr. Mo looked heartbroken.
Su Luo suddenly smiled, and her smile was as fleeting as a blooming Epiphyllum, so beautiful beyond compare.
"So, when you mentioned me that day, was I wearing a cloak, or was this my true appearance?" Su Luo asked him with a smile.
She has never done it before, so of course she is not afraid of confrontation.
The more in-depth the questions, the more flaws the other party will reveal.
After all, the fabricated evidence was not real and could not withstand scrutiny. This was one of the reasons why she remained fearless in public.
Wearing a cloak or his true face? Mr. Mo hesitated. This detail had not been discussed.
Mr. Mo secretly glanced at Madam Zhao, who was standing behind Madam Su. Her face remained expressionless, but she nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.
After receiving the hint, Mr. Mo put on a righteous expression and said, "Miss Su came here without any concealment that day. However, I have asked that you not spread this matter."
"Okay, just treat me, Su Luo, as stupid as a pig. I didn't know how to cover up my face when I did something bad, and I was careless enough to leave my signature. Now let me ask you, when I saw you that day, was it the scent of jasmine or peony that was on your body?" Su Luo smiled faintly.
However, her pair of clear eyes with distinct black and white were staring deeply at Mr. Mo. Although her eyes seemed calm, they held an intimidating aura that made people dare not look directly at her.
Jasmine or peony?
Mr. Mo really remembers this. The girl who came that day had a faint scent of jasmine on her body, and the smell lingered for a long time, so he was quite impressed.
But how should I answer this question now? Is it the scent of peony flowers?
Mr. Mo inadvertently raised his eyes and looked into Su Luo's eyes that seemed to be mocking and sarcastic. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Even though he was a worldly-wise manager of the mercenary union, for some reason, in front of Su Luo, he would always unconsciously exude an unprecedented panic and fear.
It was obvious that this girl was nothing but a useless person, but why was it that every word she said was so difficult for him to answer that he almost got exposed?
Mr. Mo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not knowing how to answer.
At this moment, Su Xi was so angry that he glared at Su Luo and said, "Fourth sister, you are so funny. With your level, can you afford rouge and powder? Why are you wearing perfume? It's ridiculous!"
This reminded Mr. Mo, and he forced a stiff smile. "I'm afraid it's difficult for me to answer Fourth Miss Su's question. It's been so many days, and I can't remember if she put on powder that day."
Mr. Mo reacted quickly and did not fall into his first trap.
However, he was able to avoid the first problem, but it remains to be seen how he can avoid the second one.
Su Luo glanced at Su Xi nonchalantly, then turned her gaze to Mr. Mo's old face covered in cold sweat.
"Fifth sister is right. How can I, a concubine's daughter who can't even afford perfume, have the gold coins to post a mission in the Mercenary Guild? Oh, by the way, Mr. Mo, that mission cost a lot of gold coins, right?" Su Luo looked calm, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
