I arrived as promised and waited for twenty minutes in the café before she finally showed up, looking apologetic.
As soon as she sat down, she spoke first: "I was with Xiao Mo in college; we were each other's first love. We were truly happy back then."
I remained silent, quietly observing this woman who was the object of Shen Mo's affection.
"But Xiao Mo's mother didn't like me and forcibly tore us apart," she continued, a hint of grievance in her tone. "I had no intention of interfering with your family, but the moment I saw Xiao Mo, I knew he still loved me, just like before!"
As she spoke, she kept fiddling with her hair, as if afraid I wouldn't notice the necklace around her neck.
"So what?" I replied calmly, though my heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.
The gleaming necklace was like a sharp blade that pierced me deeply. That was clearly my Diana!
Perhaps my reaction was too composed; she seemed dissatisfied and bit her lip, raising her voice slightly: "Miss Xia, matters of the heart cannot be forced."
"Even if you tie him to your side, what difference does it make? He doesn't love you at all; you two will never be happy."
I looked at her coldly, as if she were a clown performing for my amusement.
I truly couldn't understand why Shen Mo would be attracted to someone like her. I had thought that even if she wasn't from a prestigious family, at least she would be a cultured woman.
But this person before me, while somewhat good-looking, exuded an air of vanity and shallowness. It seemed the old saying was true: love indeed makes one blind.
I spoke calmly, "Since you say you love Shen Mo as a person, why not take off the necklace first?"
"After all, its value is enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime."
She seemed to seize upon my words, a smirk curling at the corners of her mouth. "If I'm not mistaken, that necklace is one of your proud creations, Miss Xia?"
"I merely acted a little spoiled with Xiao Mo, and he bought it from you to give to me."
"Speaking of which, you should thank me; this time it was quite a profitable deal."
A wave of bitterness surged within me. Shen Mo took away my most cherished treasure, just to flaunt it for this woman.
She looked at me with pride, her eyes filled with the joy of victory. "As long as I want, whether it's this necklace or Shen Mo himself, they are both mine."
I smiled faintly. "I won't get a divorce. If you want to take his place, let Shen Mo come and talk to me himself."
Pei Nana suddenly stood up, knocking a cup off the table, which clattered loudly on the floor.
All eyes around us instantly focused on her.
"Miss Xia, you are so selfish..." she shouted in anger and humiliation.
I ignored her and let her rant behind me.
Once back in the car, I collapsed over the steering wheel and cried uncontrollably.
In the following days, Shen Mo didn't return home.
I knew Pei Nana was using this method to tell me that not only could I not win Shen Mo's heart, but now I couldn't even have him physically.
Three days later, Shen Mo returned under the cover of night.
"There have been some issues at the company," he said dismissively.
I didn't press further; instead, I calmly asked, "You told me last time that Diana was sending something to an important client, right?"
Shen Mo looked up at me, silently meeting my gaze.
"I saw it that day..." My voice was barely above a whisper.
He frowned, still silent.
