Mo Ming wore a serious expression and turned to the somewhat angry Murong Lian, saying, "Murong Lian, you should have a checkbook with you, right? Just write me a check for three hundred thousand, and I'll pay you back next time."
Due to Mo Ming's actions of seeking out a companion girl, Murong Lian had been holding back a lot of anger and was already struggling to control her emotions.
But now, Mo Ming was asking her for money just to help that girl buy her freedom. The powder keg of Murong Lian's suppressed anger exploded in an instant. She snorted coldly, turned her face away, and said darkly, "Don't ask me. I don't have any checks. Even if I did, I wouldn't lend you money for such shameless things."
Mo Ming extended his hand, his expression cold and devoid of the usual playful demeanor, resembling a wooden figure without emotion. In a low voice, he said, "I want you to lend me a check for three hundred thousand!"
Everyone was stunned, including Ruolin and O Mama. They seemed unable to believe that Mo Ming had changed so drastically; he was no longer the kind-hearted boy from earlier.
"Why is he buying her freedom?" Ruolin wondered.
It was terrifying; Mo Ming's expression and tone made Murong Lian feel unfamiliar and even a bit fearful from the depths of her heart.
"Mo Ming, have you lost your mind? How could you treat me like this for her! I hate you!" Murong Lian felt extremely pained. The person she liked was acting this way for a companion girl. Mo Ming's earlier behavior felt like an ice pick stabbing her heart, freezing her feelings.
Tears were about to spill; Murong Lian forced herself to endure the pain in her heart as she hurried to the sofa, took out her wallet, pulled out a checkbook, quickly wrote the amount of three hundred thousand, and left the private room before her tears could overflow.
At that moment, Mo Ming stared at Murong Lian's sorrowful back and seemed to regain some clarity. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't chase after her. His feelings were very complicated; without thinking much further, he took the check for three hundred thousand and handed it to O Mama coldly, saying, "Here’s three hundred thousand. Take it and get lost. Don't bother her again in the future. Understood?"
O Mama took the check with a glimmer of delight in her eyes. She didn’t say anything but glanced at Ruolin before leaving immediately.
"Mo Ming, you're going too far! How could you treat President Mu like this for her?"
"Exactly! Mo Ming, you're such a jerk! President Mu has treated you so well, yet you say such things to her. I really want to beat you up; unfortunately, I know I can't win against you. Honestly, I look down on you from the bottom of my heart."
"Being around someone like him makes the air around us disgusting. It's pointless; we're leaving."
The employees in the private room all condemned Mo Ming's behavior. After expressing their thoughts, they left in groups. As for their words, Mo Ming felt he was not wrong; even if it wasn't his intention, he had still hurt Murong Lian.
After all, no one is perfect; everyone has moments when their emotions get out of control.
When Mo Ming struggled out of his wandering memories, he had already hurt Murong Lian. This was not Mo Ming's intention; he could only blame himself for the situation. Murong Lian must hate him now, right? Well, it was self-inflicted.
"Ruolin, right? Don't just stand there; come sit down," Mo Ming said as he looked at Ruolin, forcing a slight smile. "There's no need to be nervous. I have no ill intentions; I just want to talk to you."
Ruolin looked at Mo Ming. This young man had already spent three hundred thousand to redeem her. Did that mean he would be her master from now on?
Ruolin dared not resist Mo Ming's words. Remembering how he looked earlier still made her a bit fearful, so she carefully sat on the sofa, lowered her head, and remained silent, nervously tugging at her skirt.
"Are you afraid of me?" Mo Ming asked lightly.
Ruolin nodded and then shook her head, creating a contradiction. Seeing this, Mo Ming smiled bitterly and said, "It seems you really are afraid of me. Don't worry; I won't hurt you or do anything to you. You can relax."
After hearing Mo Ming's words, Ruolin found it hard to believe. She looked up at him in shock. A faint smile crept onto Mo Ming's lips as he spoke seriously, "Don't doubt my words. I won't do anything to you; I just want to chat."
"Then why did you spend three hundred thousand to redeem me?" Ruolin asked cautiously, still a bit skeptical. "You seem to care about me, right? You've been staring at me since earlier."
"You’re right; I do care about you. That's why I was stunned when I saw you. As for spending three hundred thousand to redeem you, it's not because I want to do anything to you; I just don't want you to ruin yourself. Understood?" Mo Ming said with a kind smile.
"Why do you care about me?"
Mo Ming shook his head with a bitter smile and took a sip from his glass without answering. It seemed he recalled something painful; the pain was etched on his face for anyone to see how he felt at that moment.
Ruolin was smart enough not to ask further questions and fell into silence alongside Mo Ming.
"Sister Lian, I'm sure there's a misunderstanding here. I know Brother Mo well; although he seems a bit lecherous at times, that's not his true nature... Come on, go in with me. If Brother Mo really did something like that to you, I'll seek justice for you."
At that moment, Lin Yuan'er’s voice came from outside the door.
Lin Yuan'er was pulling Murong Lian along, who seemed reluctant. Upon seeing Ruolin sitting next to Mo Ming, Murong Lian felt wronged again and immediately turned to escape, but Lin Yuan'er stopped her.
"It's fine. If Brother Mo dares to bully you, I will definitely help you teach him a lesson." Lin Yuan'er pulled Murong Lian in front of Mo Ming and demanded, "Brother Mo, you better explain why you were so fierce to Sister Lian just now."
Mo Ming looked up at Murong Lian, but her gaze was evasive, as if she didn't want to meet his eyes. Mo Ming felt a bit distressed and sincerely said, "I lost control of my emotions earlier. I'm sorry; I didn't mean to treat you that way. I hope you can forgive me."
When Mo Ming said this, Murong Lian seemed to tremble slightly. She slowly looked at Mo Ming and noticed his sincere expression, which made her feel a little better, but the pain still wouldn't heal so quickly.
"I can forgive you, but I hope you tell me why you acted that way and why you lost control of your emotions," Murong Lian softened a bit. It seemed that as long as Mo Ming could provide a reasonable explanation, she would be able to forgive him.
"How could it be you?" Lin Yuan'er was startled when she noticed Ruolin and pointed at her, saying, "Sister Qingmeng, how could it be you? Didn't you already die?"
After Lin Yuan'er spoke, both Murong Lian and Ruolin were surprised. Only Mo Ming felt a bit helpless; he smiled wryly and nodded, saying, "You also think she looks like Qingmeng, right? When I first saw her, I thought Qingmeng was still alive and hadn't died. It was only after looking closely that I realized she wasn't Qingmeng but another person with Qingmeng's face."
Murong Lian's mind was a bit confused as she asked, "What are you all talking about? Who is Qingmeng?"
Lin Yuan'er reacted quickly and immediately understood. She exclaimed, "Sister Lian, you've misunderstood Brother Mo. He didn't redeem her because he has feelings for her; he just didn't want this girl who looks like Sister Qingmeng to be sullied by others. Brother Mo, am I right?"
"Who exactly is Qingmeng?" Murong Lian became even more puzzled.
"Yes, you're right. I just didn't want her life to be tragic; that's why I redeemed her," Mo Ming said bitterly while looking at Murong Lian. "The way I treated you earlier makes it understandable if you don't forgive me. But I don't want you to misunderstand me; I'm really not as despicable as you think."
Ruolin looked at Mo Ming and asked, "Is it just because I look like your deceased friend that you redeemed me?"
"Yes, it's only because you resemble her that I helped you," Mo Ming nodded and smiled. "I'll call you Ruolin from now on. I hope that after gaining your freedom tonight, you won't do such things anymore. Promise me, okay?"
"Okay, I promise you." Ruolin showed a sweet smile and nodded seriously. "Actually, I didn't want to do this either; it's just that my mother is ill and urgently needs 100,000 for surgery. I had no choice but to think of selling myself to earn some money for her surgery. Now that she has safely undergone the operation, I won't do such things anymore."
After hearing Ruolin's words, both Lin Yuan'er and Murong Lian felt sympathy for her. Murong Lian, who had previously held prejudices against her, suddenly felt a bit ashamed and said, "Sister Ruolin, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you earlier. Please accept my apology. If there are any difficulties at home in the future, just come to me; I'll do my best to help you."
"Thank you, sister. Thank you, brother." Ruolin's eyes were filled with tears—not of sadness but of joy—as she felt gratitude towards Mo Ming and the others.
"If you don't mind, I will be your brother from now on. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me. My surname is Mo, and my name is Ming," Mo Ming said with a smile.
"Okay!" Ruolin replied with a grin. "Then I'll call you Brother Mo from now on."
"No way! Only I can call him Brother Mo!" Lin Yuan'er frowned but then laughed, saying, "Alright, I was just joking. If you want to call him Brother Mo, go ahead. Ruolin, right? I'm your Brother Mo's wife, so how should you address me?"
"Sister-in-law!" Ruolin exclaimed sweetly without hesitation.
Murong Lian and Mo Ming were left speechless, while Lin Yuan'er burst into laughter and reached out to pat Ruolin's head, saying, "Ruolin is really clever. Sister-in-law likes you very much. From now on, if you have anything, come to your sister-in-law too."
As time passed, more people arrived in the private room. Ren Long and Li Minghan came together, accompanied by a tall woman with long legs and casually flowing hair over her shoulders. Although she didn't quite match Murong Lian and Lin Yuan'er in beauty, she was still somewhat attractive. It was said that this woman was Ren Long's goddaughter.
The few people who had left angrily earlier realized they had misunderstood Mo Ming and turned back to apologize to him. Mo Ming didn't hold a grudge against them, and the matter was brushed aside.
As for Qiu Lan, she also arrived but continued to ignore Mo Ming. Instead, she engaged with Li Minghan, drinking and chatting happily. Li Minghan thought he had won her affection, unaware that she was only trying to provoke Mo Ming.
However, Mo Ming paid no attention to this and was happily chatting with Ruolin, Lin Yuan'er, and Murong Lian.
