After the meeting, I took a deep breath, trying to control my emotions. Now was not the time to break down; I still had Little Bean to take care of. As the sun set, the city of City S, known for its nightlife, began to light up.
I dragged my weary body back to Shen Mo's villa, where Little Bean was sitting on the living room floor playing with building blocks. Upon seeing me return, she happily dropped her toys and ran towards me with her little legs.
"Mommy, you're back!" Little Bean exclaimed as she hugged my leg and looked up at me with her big eyes sparkling with anticipation. "When is Daddy coming to pick us up? He said he would take me to the amusement park."
I squatted down, forcing myself to pull it together and appear less disheveled. Gently stroking Little Bean's hair, I held back the sadness in my heart and managed a faint smile. "Sweetheart, Daddy is very busy with work. We need to be good and wait a little longer, okay?"
"But all the other kids have their daddies with them at the amusement park. I want to go with Daddy too," Little Bean said, lowering her head, her voice filled with disappointment.
Seeing her look of grievance pierced my heart like a needle. I wished I could tell her the truth but feared it would only make her sadder.
"Little darling, Mommy promises you that once Daddy finishes his work, we will go find him and let him take us to the amusement park, okay?" I gently pulled her into my arms and comforted her softly.
Little Bean nodded slightly as if she understood, snuggling into my embrace and falling silent.
Meanwhile, Shen Mo sat in his top-floor office, gazing out at the dazzling night view of City S but unable to appreciate it. For days now, he had been secretly investigating Lin Qingqian's situation, and the news he received left him shocked and heartbroken.
"Zhao Siqi, you truly have a cruel heart!" Shen Mo's eyes flashed with anger as he slammed the documents on his desk. He knew that Zhao Siqi had harbored feelings for him all along. When he chose to be with Lin Qingqian years ago, it had left Zhao Siqi resentful. What he didn't expect was for Zhao Siqi to be so malicious as to use such despicable means to harm Lin Qingqian and her child.
"Qingqian, don't worry; I will definitely seek justice for you!" Shen Mo silently vowed, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
A few days later, a high school reunion was held at a five-star hotel in City S.
This event was specially organized by Shen Mo, who even had his secretary personally deliver the invitations to each classmate.
Although the classmates were surprised to receive the invitations, they felt compelled to accept due to Shen Mo's current status.
On the day of the gathering, Zhao Siqi appeared in a glamorous dress, with exquisite makeup and a fake smile plastered on her face as she mingled through the crowd, basking in the envious glances of others.
"Qingqian, why are you so late?" A familiar voice called out from behind.
I turned around to see a tall figure standing before me—it was Shen Mo.
"I... I arrived late," I said, lowering my head in a fluster, unable to meet Shen Mo's gaze.
"That's alright; you arrived just in time," Shen Mo said with a gentle smile as he took my hand and led me toward the center of the banquet hall.
From a distance, Zhao Siqi spotted Shen Mo and Lin Qingqian together and her expression instantly soured.
She hurried over in her high heels and sarcastically remarked, "Oh, isn't this our campus belle Lin Qingqian? What’s this? After a few years, you've learned to cling to wealthy men?"
"Zhao Siqi, watch your words!" Shen Mo frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Zhao Siqi sneered, deliberately raising her voice. "You think I don't know? All these years..."
"Enough!" Shen Mo interrupted Zhao Siqi sharply. His voice was not loud but filled with authority, causing Zhao Siqi to flinch and instinctively shut her mouth.
Shen Mo turned around and scanned the crowd in the banquet hall before speaking loudly, "Classmates, I'm very glad to gather here with all of you today. I have an announcement to make: this lady, Lin Qingqian, is not some woman clinging to wealthy men; she is the mother of my child. My child's name is Little Bean, and he is five years old this year."
Shen Mo's words resonated powerfully in the quiet banquet hall, leaving everyone stunned as they turned their gazes toward Lin Qingqian and Shen Mo.
"Shen Mo, what are you talking about? Are you crazy?" Zhao Siqi's face turned pale as she trembled while speaking.
Ignoring Zhao Siqi's hysteria, Shen Mo pulled out a USB drive from his pocket and plugged it into the computer in the banquet hall, opening a folder.
"This contains evidence of how Zhao Siqi has slandered Lin Qingqian over the years and how she has used despicable means to undermine her."
"Zhao Siqi, I gave you chances, but you repeatedly harmed her; I can no longer tolerate it!" Shen Mo glared at Zhao Siqi with icy eyes.
"Furthermore, I have decided that Yao Hua Group will no longer conduct any business with the the Zhao Family from now on!"
"If your the Zhao Family wants to maintain a foothold in City S, you'd better behave yourselves!"
After hearing Shen Mo's threat, Zhao Siqi's body went limp as she collapsed onto the ground. She couldn't imagine what kind of situation she would face if her father found out she had made such a mistake again...
Once he dealt with Zhao Siqi, Shen Mo solemnly announced to everyone: "A month from now, I will be holding a wedding with Lin Qingqian, and I hope all of you will grace us with your presence."
Faced with the sudden Good News, everyone raised their glasses in celebration. I was momentarily stunned, unable to contain the surge of emotions within me, gazing affectionately at the man on stage, who was shining brightly. He accurately caught my gaze amidst the crowd, and the tenderness in his eyes surged like a tidal wave. This man was indeed as domineering as ever. However, I liked it...
