Chapter 375: Trap

Translator: Lonelytree

Mo Xiao was surprised that Mo Li had already learned so much. A clever cat would squeeze every drop of value from a rat before consuming the rodent. Even though Mo Xiao had no idea if this was Mo Li’s plan or the person behind her, that person was an experienced cat!

Ever since Chen Shuo’s drug use was exposed, Xiao Yue became the topic of public discussion. Xiao Yue, the girl who was lambasted for her easy ways with men now became the victim of a drug user. She was a paragon of forbearance and fortitude. She was on the internet, in various newspapers, magazines and so on... She was everywhere.

Nowadays, people didn’t care about the truth. They only cared about whether the news was interesting or not. And most of the time, people would be biased towards the weak regardless of the truth. Xiao Yue knew this very well and so she played the role of a pitiable victim to a tee. At the press conference, she portrayed herself as a victim who did everything to shield her family. That day, she was also dressed in white, looking all pure and innocent. Her watery eyes had fooled many peoples.

Overnight, people turned their ire on Chen Shuo, who was both a rapist and a drug addict. People were too busy scolding Chen Shuo that no one cared about Xiao Yue anymore.

The Xiao Family’s stocks also tripled thanks to Xiao Yue’s actions. After Xiao Ming knew about this, he smiled at his daughter and reconsidered handing the company to her.

In comparison, Chen Shuo got the short end of the stick. For the past few days, he spent his nights getting drunk at nightclubs. He had no idea people were plotting against him. Before he knew what happened, he was brought to the police station. He told the police that he had not taken drugs and he had not raped Xiao Yue but that was nothing before hard evidence. He demanded Xiao Yue come to challenge him face to face but his demands went unheard. Inside the detention center, he was helpless. He felt an unprecedented sense of despair. He would be brought to court in a few days. The results from his blood and urine test came back positive for ketamine. The drug was found at his home as well. Even though the amount was small, it was enough to send him away to prison.

He was just a normal person, and his life was over. If Xiao Yue came out to say a good word for him, there might still be a chance for him but he knew that would never happen. The girl whom he once thought as kind, innocent, gentle, and considerate had stabbed him ruthlessly on the back.

To protect herself and regain her reputation, she had personally sent him into jail.

Chen Shuo couldn’t do anything but laugh. He covered his stubbly face and shook his head. This was his fault too. Why did he believe Xiao Yue when she said he would help him get close to the Mo Family?

At the time, he thought that the time had come for him to rise above the rest. But at the end of the day, he was just a chess piece for these rich and powerful people. Perhaps if he had stuck to his own lane and found a normal girl to settle down with, he wouldn’t have ended up like this. What was so bad about having a normal life?

...

Xiao Yue was a changed woman. Initially, she thought she needed Lu Ke’s help to take revenge on Mo Li but now she realized she could do it herself. After all, she had the young master from the capital on her side. She had charmed the man so much so that he would willingly do her bidding. Actually, while Xiao Yue cared about Quan Yu, she cared about the power of the Quan Family even more.

On the other hand, Lu Ke was burning with rage.?Which busybody has helped Xiao Yue and caused me to lose a pawn? Now I have to get my hands dirty myself.?Thankfully, Xiao Yue has left me a parting gift. She has brought the engagement between Luo Cong and Mo Li to the forefront again.

Everyone’s faces at the old house were dark. Ever since Xiao Yue’s press conference, everyone came to harass them about the engagement between Mo Li and Luo Cong again! It was so annoying!

The phone at home kept ringing. Everyone wanted to know if the engagement was still on, and if it was not, why would Xiao Yue say such things?

Elder Mo had given strict orders to stop anyone from talking about this at home. Old Madam Mo also stopped her friends from discussing it. However, as the person directly involved, Mo Li sat down to eat fruits and watch tv. She didn’t seem affected at all.

The phone rang and Mo Li answered it.. Xiao Rui said, “Li Min is dead.”
