Chapter 1826: Not Bad

“President Li…”

Li Mo looked up at him and then at his phone.

“You came at the right time.”

Feng Geng grinned and said, “Congratulations, CEO Li.”

Li Mo raised an eyebrow. “Congratulate me for what?”

Feng Geng blinked and said, “Congratulations on resolving the misunderstanding with Madam. Both of you are in love and your marriage will be blissful.”

Happiness my ass!

Look at that woman. How did she look like she loved him?

She must not know how to cherish it after getting it!

After he confessed, she became complacent.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved and angry he felt. He looked at Feng Geng coldly and said,

“Do you know what day this year is?”

Feng Geng paused and smiled. “Of course I know. It’s your birthday on January 21st.”

Of course, he knew about the important day of his boss’s birth.

She thought that if she said it without hesitation, it would show how loyal and reliable he was. She might even be praised.

Unexpectedly, not only did he not receive any praise, the other party’s expression turned uglier.

“Damn woman, she even knows about an assistant, but she doesn’t!”

“Hmph, that’s true. She has stood me up before.”

“Isn’t it love? You don’t even know your birthday. Liar…”

Feng Geng was speechless.

What was going on?

Had their CEO Li gone crazy after being treated in the hospital?

Had too much water entered her brain?

Her nagging and dawdling made her no different from a resentful woman.

Although the handsome man sitting alone on the bed looked like a fool, he didn’t dare to ask or say anything. He could only stare at him blankly.

As Li Mo nagged, his expression darkened. After a long while, he suddenly said in a low voice,

“Go and arrange a birthday party for me on December 22nd!”

Feng Geng twitched innocently and his face scrunched up.

She couldn’t hide the disdain on her face.

Why would a man in his late twenties suddenly hold a birthday party for himself?

Don’t you feel ashamed?

“Tell everyone! Don’t be too deliberate! Just buy a trending topic and announce it.”

Feng Geng was speechless.

It was just a trending topic. How could it be too deliberate?

His President Li was really crazy.

It seemed like he had to prepare a proper lawsuit against the hospital.

A normal person had only been in the hospital for a few days, but her personality had changed drastically. She should get an explanation.

“Did you hear that?”

His gloomy words made Feng Geng shiver and he hurriedly replied, “Yes, CEO Li, I understand.”

With that, she turned to leave. Just as she opened the door, Li Mo’s voice sounded again.

“Wait a minute.”

She stopped in her tracks.

She turned around and looked at Li Mo in confusion. “CEO Li, do you have any other instructions?”

Li Mo stood up from the bed and frowned at him. “How did you know that I made up with Xu Qingzhi?”

From the start, he felt that something was amiss. It was only now that he realized.

There was only him and Xu Qingzhi last night. No one else would know what had happened.

How did an outsider like him know that they were in love?

Feng Geng’s eyes flashed. “Last night…”

Li Mo glared at him. “When?”

Could this fellow be eavesdropping on them in the middle of the night?

Feng Geng said innocently, “Last night… when you were in Miss Mo’s ward…”

Li Mo frowned.

“Back then, Madam and I were outside the door. We heard your conversation with Miss Mo very clearly… Have you not reconciled with Madam? That shouldn’t be the case…”

Li Mo looked up and narrowed his eyes at Feng Geng. “What did you say?”

Feng Geng: “Huh?”

“You said that you and Xu Qingzhi were outside Mo Xiaona’s ward last night and heard what we said?”

Feng Geng nodded and said, “Yes… yes, didn’t you ask us to wait at the door back then? We didn’t hear it on purpose…”

Li Mo asked, “When did Xu Qingzhi leave?”

Feng Geng looked a little embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

“I heard everything that I should and shouldn’t have heard before I left. I only left a minute or two before you came out…”

“…”

Li Mo didn’t say anything for a while and stood rooted to the ground in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a long while, Li Mo suddenly sneered and gritted his teeth.

“Damn woman, how dare you trick me!”

Feng Geng shuddered. CEO Li’s appearance was indeed terrifying.

She really didn’t know what went wrong with these two people.

Madam had already heard CEO Li’s confession last night. Why did it seem like their relationship was still so dangerous?

After thinking about it, he didn’t know the reason. There was only one sentence in his mind—

Why was he messing around?!

“Is there anything else?”

“No, remember to arrange a birthday party.”

“Okay.”

Feng Geng walked out and closed the door.

Li Mo stood rooted to the ground, his lips pursed in silence.

An obvious blush spread from her ears to her ears.

“Looks like Mo Xiaona is fine.”

“What did you clarify?”

“If I were her, knowing that you have me in your heart…”

“Then who do you have in your heart?”

“Could it be that your relationship with her after all these years is fake?”

“If you don’t believe me… If you don’t love her, who do you love?”

“She’s pure and innocent… You have a pure heart…”

“Because you’re a pervert…”

“Because you hate me…”

….

“Damn fool, I love you!”

Damn!

Li Mo rubbed his burning ears and sat on the bed. Finally, he rubbed his face forcefully.

Thinking back to what Xu Qingzhi had said to him last night…

She was trying to trick him.

Even his biological mother was lying to him the next day.

These women were too lawless.

She had actually fooled him.

He even cooperated flawlessly every time.

He had been tricked by them.

So…

Li Mo lifted his head from his palm and frowned in deep thought.

So, did Xu Qing really not know his birthday or was she faking it?

After going around in circles, they came to this question again.

So…

Therefore, he had to settle this score!

—

Feng Geng moved quickly and the address of the birthday party was confirmed. He bought the number one trending spot almost immediately.

With the word “boiling”, she tried her best to maintain the “low profile” that Li Mo had requested.

Yes.

She was indeed keeping a low profile.

After all, the trending topic was followed by the word “explosive”.

But how many explosive news could there be this year?

However, the sudden appearance of this trending topic was really… awkward.

Even if he was the head of the Li family that no one in Rong City dared to provoke.

However, he had always kept a low profile. It was inevitable that some people wouldn’t be used to it.

“Isn’t this… too embarrassing?”

“Do you have to be so high-profile on your birthday? Haven’t you always kept a low profile?”

“But the event is indeed big. I’m afraid that all the upper-class people in Rong City will join in the fun. It’s not strange for it to be trending.”

“He used to be low-profile, but now that he’s suddenly being high-profile, it’s hard to explain. He’s a man in his late twenties. Why is he suddenly holding a birthday party?”

“The big boss of a wealthy family is acting like a princess. Hahaha, why do I feel that she’s cute?”

“He’s rich. Shouldn’t he be celebrating his birthday? Who said that only the little princess can hold a birthday party? Don’t men deserve to have a birthday?”

…

This matter caused an uproar, especially since the main topic of the trending topic was in Rong City. Hence, the people in Rong City paid special attention to this matter. Those who were slightly related to Limo were even more enthusiastic.

As the wife and subordinate of the trending topic, Zhi Qin Cosmetics was naturally included.

The speed at which the Internet spread was unstoppable.

How could Xu Qingzhi not know about this?

At first, she didn’t believe what others said, but when she opened the trending topic, she felt helpless.

It really was…

This trending topic was inexplicably strange and awkward.

A few deputies were discussing the details of the press conference with Xu Qingzhi. Due to the impact of this matter, someone raised concerns.

“CEO Xu, CEO Li organized such a grand birthday party on the same day as our new product launch. Our attention will definitely be affected.”

“I thought that we would be able to attract a lot of attention this time, but I didn’t expect it to be the same day as CEO Li’s birthday.”

“It doesn’t matter. Our Best Actor Chu’s influence can’t be underestimated, okay?! How much impact can he have? It’s his birthday and we’re promoting a new product. It’s also the award-winning product of the International No. 1 perfumer, Star. It’s universally recognized.”

“A small impact is still an impact. Of course, we don’t want to lose any customers. Otherwise, CEO Xu, you have to celebrate CEO Li’s birthday anyway. When the time comes, you can invite him to our venue for a walk. This way, we can attract more attention. Don’t you think so?”

“This is indeed a good idea!”

The deputies agreed with this suggestion. Not only would this not be a problem, but it would also be icing on the cake for them.

Xu Qingzhi’s face darkened when she saw the trending topic.

Did they have a point?

Of course, it was the most reasonable and the best solution.

But how could Limo not think of such a solution?

Buying trending topics?

He wanted her to know what day it was, right?

As for holding a birthday party…

He just wanted her to give in and celebrate his birthday obediently.

It was just a birthday. Did he have to remind her in such a roundabout manner?

Since when did he care so much? Would she celebrate his birthday with him?

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. He must have invited a lot of people to his birthday party. I reckon he won’t be able to leave then. As for the impact, let’s not interfere. Let’s just focus on our own matters.”

“But CEO Xu, it’s CEO Li’s birthday. Aren’t you going to attend?”

Xu Qingzhi flipped through the document in her hand and replied vaguely without looking up, “There’s a conflict of time.”

The deputies didn’t say anything else.

Everyone in Rong City knew that the relationship between CEO Xu and CEO Li was awkward.

CEO Xu’s position as Mrs. Li was indeed a little awkward. Perhaps CEO Li had suddenly thought of holding a birthday party this year to cause trouble for their press conference.

Xu Qingzhi could more or less tell that something was amiss. Out of habit, she ignored them and pretended not to know anything!

—

In Ping Cheng City, Shen Fanxing was resting in the living room. When she saw the trending topic online, she chuckled softly.

Indeed, as those people had said, the hot search was filled with awkwardness.

She couldn’t be more deliberate.

However, Qingzhi had actually set the date for the press conference on Limo’s birthday. It was unknown if it was intentional or not.

Qing Zhi had probably done it on purpose.

In the past, what did Limo’s birthday have to do with her?

Instead of letting her let her imagination run wild at home, she might as well get busy and forget everything. She wouldn’t want to write nonsense.

However…

The “bomb” she had arranged for Chu Yi should have played a significant role.

Someone like Li Mo indeed needed “special treatment”.

She didn’t expect him to use such childish methods.

Old Lady Bo and Lou Ruoyi had just returned from a walk. When they saw Shen Fanxing smiling happily on the sofa, they asked,

“Why are you so happy?”

Shen Fanxing sat up straight and said bluntly, “I’m happy for Qingzhi. Limo will probably be ‘tamed’ by her soon…”

She used the word “tamed” in an unfriendly manner.

After bullying Qingzhi for so many years, he was no longer human to her.

Lou Ruoyi’s eyes lit up. “What happened?”

Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “Qingzhi wants to divorce Limo now. Limo is anxious…”

The rest was the “information” she had obtained from Chu Yi.

Lou Ruoyi and the old lady shook their heads and criticized Limo. In the end, they applauded and praised Xu Qingzhi.

Looking at the two adorable elders, Shen Fanxing smiled from the bottom of her heart.

God had treated her well.

When she had no trust or attachment to the word “family”, it was they who pulled her back from the edge.

“Qingzhi can’t forgive Limo just like that. We have to teach a man like him a lesson! Otherwise, he won’t know what it means to cherish someone. Tell Qingzhi not to compromise with him so easily and hang him up!”

“Yes, you can’t do that. Men have a bad habit. If they don’t cherish what they have, they won’t cherish what they have easily! While there’s still room for regret, don’t let Qingzhi forgive him.”

The old lady and Lou Ruoyi agreed with each other. Their opinions were identical and they had a tacit understanding.

Shen Fanxing nodded and joined them.

“Yes, I think so too!”

Taking out her phone, she thought for a moment before boarding the Penguin account that she hadn’t used in years.

Since she knew Li Mo’s thoughts and drove him crazy, was she still lacking in tricks?

[Hello, Miss Fanxing ~]
