<h4>Chapter 253 - Culprits</h4>


    Be sighed inwardly. She looked at the people who were now staring at them. Of course, these included Mo Li’s parents and rtives. "Stop bothering me, Mr. Su. I wouldn’t hesitate to call the police next time that you do something like this." Be said, she held Mo Li’s hands and tried to pull him away. She wouldn’t want to do something that would ruin Mo Li’s reputation.


    "Be— "


    "Mr. Su..." Mo Li interrupted him. "I think it is time you understand that not all married people were like you. Some would never give in into temptations and cheat on their partner."


    Su Xieren’s face sunk before it morphed into anger. "You abandoned her when years ago! I was there for her while you were away and acting like a puppy to the Mo Family!" he hissed and leaned forward. Su Xieren’s chest raised and fell as anger surged inside him.


    "Did I cheat on her?" Mo Li asked,pletely rendering Su Xieren speechless. "I don’t think our past isparable Mr. Su." He smirked. "Now, if you would still want to talk about this nonsense, then please feel free to contact ourwyers. I am sure they would be very happy to entertain yourints." He gave Su Xieren and elegant smile before he lifted Be’s hand and kissed the back of her palm. "Have a good night Mr. Su." Mo Li added before he and Be walked away from the man.


    "Be— " Su Xieren tried to call out but soon realized that doing this is already useless. He saw how Be stared at him with a nk look in her eyes. No love, no anger, no irritation. Just nothing.


    To Su Xieren, this look is even worse than anger or any other emotion. Why, you ask? Because it means, Be no longer felt something for him. She is not like the previous Be that loved him. She was no longer his Be. Su Xieren eyed Liu Cheng’er who was still standing a few feet away from him with Mo Li’s mother and grandmother. Seeing the woman nod at him only meant that they were able to get some good camera angle that would look like Be and Su Xieren were acting like lovers.


    Just enough to confuse the people. Just enough to at least cause some doubts in their marriage.


    Meanwhile, Be and Mo Li went back to their seats with Mo Li’s father.


    "That was quite a show." Mo Bai uttered and eyed his wife and the others who followed Mo Li and Be inside. "Causing such ruckus like that... " He shook his head and eyed Mo Li. "Are you sure you would continue this madness despite the shame that this would bring upon the Mo Family?"


    Mo Li only snorted in response. "The Mayor’s seat is not something that I want... father." He made sure to pronounce the word father in a mocking tone. "Of course, I am a man of my words. Now that I already married the woman that I want, I will do my end of the bargain and try to win the election."


    Unimpressed, Mo Bai squinted at Mo Li. "I always thought that you were smart enough to understand that this path is something that you deserve. You were raised to be the mayor of this city."


    Mo Li didn’t respond instead he held Be’s hand and once again kissed the back of her palm— an action that made almost everyone on the table furious.


    "Mo Li... how could you still treat a woman like this as if she was a princess? Did you see what happened earlier?" Grandmother Zhang asked, her face dark as she looked at Mo Li. "She was with that man before you arrived! Who knows what they were talking about?" Grandmother Zhang, Liu Cheng’er, and Mo Li’s mother knew about Su Xieren before hand. Of course, she wanted Mo Li to start doubting Be before the headlines about Be woulde up tomorrow.


    "There is no need to worry about that," Be answered. "To keep me safe, I have recorded my conversation with that man. I was nning to use all the evidence that I could gather to file a restriction against him. So I was very — "


    "What record?" Grandmother Zhang asked.


    "A voice record." Be gave the older woman a smug smile. "Of course, my husband would be the first to listen to our conversation. After all, I know that people are watching Mo Li and I’s rtionship. Some people might even act like an evil stepmother and try to separate us." Be clicked her tongue when she noticed everyone’s ugly faces after they heard her words. She only wanted to see if the culprit who informed Su Xieren about this ce was among these women and it seems that the three were involved somehow? "Aish... I am just happy that Dr. Liu had warned me beforehand about events like this."


    "What— What are you talking about?" Liu Cheng’er asked, confused. Was Be trying to sow discord between her and the Mo Family?


    "Earlier, you warn me about possible mishaps," Be said without batting an eyelid. "Isn’t that right, husband? You heard it too, right?"


    "Oh! That? Yeah... " Mo Li said. "Thank you, Dr. Liu. That was quite perceptive of you."


    "You— "Liu Cheng’er deadpanned when she realized what Mo Li and Be were trying to do. First, Be was asking her about liking someone. She clearly said that she already liked a person. Then, Be is making it look like she was the one who was trying to sabotage their original ns. Someone who is not aware would immediately think that she was trying to sabotage the ns because she liked another person aside from Mo Li!


    This— Liu Cheng’er stared at Be’s smiling face as she trembled inwardly. What a scheming b*tch! Now, she would need to exin to Grandmother Zhang and Zhang Bingbing that this was all Be’s scheme to make her look like a bad person! Be must have wanted them to fight against each other as she watches on the sidelines.


    However, why was Mo Li tolerating her actions?
