You Are My Unforgettable Love

Besides… she had better options, didn’t she?

Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down.

–

Night time, back at the hotel.

Shi Nianyao said goodbye to Qiao Lian happily. “Okay, I should get going now.”

Still worried, Qiao Lian suggested, “Why don’t I keep you company tonight?”

Shi Nianyao waved her hand dismissively and glanced at her, saying, “Nah. I wouldn’t want Best Actor Shen to face and empty room all night—he’d hate me for it! Besides, it was just a confession and a rejection. No big deal!”

Qiao Lian insisted, but Shi Nianyao waved her hand again adamantly and said, “There really is no need. Just go. Hurry.”

In the end, Qiao Lian could only nod.

By the time she went back upstairs, Shen Liangchuan was already in the hotel room.

The moment she thought of Mo Xicheng, she couldn’t help but feel angry. “What is wrong with Nianyao? Why did Mo Xicheng reject her? When they stand side by side, they look like the perfect couple.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips. Finally, he walked up to her and put his arms around her waist. He told her, “The truth is Mo Xicheng doesn’t want to hold her back with his background.”

She paused. “What?”

Shen Liangchuan gave Qiao Lian a sketch of Mo Xicheng’s family background.

“His mother is in charge of the Mo family household, and is also the mistress of the Chairman of the Mo family’s business. Madam Mo knows about the existence of this woman and her son, Mo Xicheng. Chairman Mo and this mistress were lovers, so when it all started long ago, she pleaded with Madam Mo to allow her to be with the Chairman. Madam Mo has a son who is just slightly older than Mo Xicheng. His mother couldn’t bear to leave the Chairman, but on the other hand felt that she owed this to Madam Mo. Hence, she has always tried to suppress Mo Xicheng, making sure he doesn’t think about inheriting anything from the Mo Family.”

Qiao Lian frowned deeply and said, “Is this woman sick in the mind? She’d rather be a mistress all her life? And that Madam Mo, why did she want to continue being the wife of such a man?! And to think she even bore him a son!”

Shen Liangchuan said with little emotion, “Madam Mo is cold and weak in temperament, she and my mother share a very close friendship. At that time, she didn’t know about the mistress. It was only after she had given birth that she realized her own son had a brother who was born only a few days after him. At that time, she did consider a divorce, but knew that the Mo Family would never let her take a male heir away with her. On the other hand, she reticent to let everything in the Mo Family go to the mistress, which would have been the case if she had left. So she stayed. But all these years, she and Mo Xicheng’s father never really kept a close relationship. The marriage was only a facade.”

He sighed and continued, “Unfortunately, Madam Mo’s son, who is Mo Xicheng’s half-brother, is a little… How would you put it? Hedonistic, and he has no wish for success. He’s now an intern in his family business office, but he complains incessantly and no one respects him. Two years ago, during a board meeting someone suggested for Mo Xicheng to come in as an intern too. Since then, Madam Mo is wary towards him. His own mother also continued to suppress him. She felt it was bad enough that she had taken away Madam Mo’s husband, so she will not allow Mo Xicheng to take away what should belong to his half-brother.”

Qiao Lian was completely flabbergasted after hearing this.

She had only seen parents who would suffer for their child’s sake, but had never seen a parent who would subject their child to suffering for their own sake.

And since she knew she was in the wrong, why didn’t she leave and return justice to that family?

Was her so-called love that important?
