Chapter 135: “I’ll go take a look too!”At 11:30, the topic returned to Li Mo’s new bride.
“Xiao Mo, has your girlfriend arrived?”
Li Mo had already sent Su Qingyan the address. She should be arriving soon.
“She should be here any minute.”
Just as he finished speaking, Su Qingyan walked in wearing a white down jacket. She looked pure yet stunningly beautiful.
Shen Caixia rushed over to greet her.
“Yanyan, you’re here?”
As her former daughter-in-law’s younger sister, Shen Caixia adored Su Qingyan.
She liked her more than words could say…
She had always treated Su Qingyan like her own daughter.
But Qingyan had visited far too rarely over the years, so their chances to meet had been few. The last time they saw each other, Su Qingyan had still been a child in Shen Caixia’s memory.
Yet now, she had grown into a stunning young woman. She had been beautiful even as a child, and now, graceful and elegant, she was still instantly recognizable to Shen Caixia.
“You’ve grown up…such a lovely young lady!”
Shen Caixia pulled Su Qingyan to sit beside her, growing more fond of her with every glance.
This girl was simply too lovable.
Li Mo’s aunts also stared at Su Qingyan in disbelief. None of them had expected that after Li Mo’s divorce, this girl would show up on New Year’s Day.
“Come, have a seat.”
Li Mo stood up and gently took Su Qingyan’s hand, leading her to the table.
Shen Caixia wanted to swat his hand away, but it was already too late.
She wanted to scold him. She knew Li Mo and Su Qingyan were close, but Qingyan had once been just a child.
Now, at nineteen, she was a grown woman. Holding her hand so intimately was inappropriate.
“Li Mo, how can you hold a young girl’s hand like that?”
His eldest aunt chimed in. Everyone agreed it wasn’t proper.
Even after sitting down, Li Mo didn’t let go of Su Qingyan’s hand.
“Mom, Dad, I have something to tell you today. The woman I’m going to marry is Qingyan.”
“And we got married yesterday.”
“She’s now my legal wife.”
The dining room fell completely silent.
Even his grandparents were speechless. The news was simply too shocking.
Li Mo’s aunts were stunned into silence, overwhelmed by envy and disbelief.
Everyone had assumed that at his age, with no money and no job, Li Mo would be lucky to marry a divorced woman.
But now…
He had married someone even more beautiful than Su Xiaoxiao…Su Qingyan.
They struggled to accept it.
Su Qingyan wasn’t just young and beautiful…she was intelligent and attended a prestigious university.
She was ten years younger than Li Mo.
Such an age gap was astonishing.
This kind of match was something you’d expect only in elite families.
But what did Li Mo have? Just good looks. And at nearly thirty, did that even count anymore?
“Li Mo!”
His father’s face darkened instantly.
He was a man of integrity, upright his entire life, which had cost him many chances at promotion.
He believed Li Mo had taken advantage of Su Qingyan’s youth and naivety.
He even suspected that Li Mo had cheated on Su Xiaoxiao during their marriage with Qingyan.
“Uncle, please don’t blame my husband.”
Su Qingyan spoke up, afraid that Li Mo’s father would get angry.
“My sister looked down on him for not being successful…that’s why she divorced him.”
“And I pursued him after the divorce.”
“He kept refusing me, but I insisted until he finally agreed.”
The relatives who had been about to speak fell silent again.
Su Qingyan had chased after Li Mo. What kind of charm did he possess to make a girl ten years younger fall for him?
Li Mo’s cousins were crushed. Compared to Su Qingyan, their girlfriends looked like wilted vegetables.
How was Li Mo so lucky…
All the women who liked him were beauties. If they had someone like Qingyan chasing after them, they’d brag about it for life. Looking at Li Mo now, they could only admire him.
At that moment, Li Mo’s parents let go of their anger.
A girl like Su Qingyan wouldn’t lie. If what she said was true, then Li Mo hadn’t done anything wrong.
And if he hadn’t done anything wrong, there was no reason to blame him.
Perhaps Su Qingyan was simply the light in his otherwise dim life.
He hadn’t committed any wrongdoing…what was there to criticize?
“Alright, let’s eat.”
“Qingyan, as long as you don’t regret it, that’s all that matters. If you ever do, you can divorce anytime.”
Shen Caixia’s words reassured Li Mo.
It seemed his parents had accepted the marriage.
Once the matter settled, everyone’s attention shifted to Su Qingyan.
His uncle no longer felt proud of his son working at a major tech company. After all, a daughter-in-law’s beauty played a huge role in shaping future generations.
That mattered more than anything.
After a while, Su Qingyan made her stance clear to Shen Caixia.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll never divorce my husband.”
“I can’t live without him.”
That one word…“Mom”…melted Shen Caixia’s heart.
Compared to the cold indifference of her previous daughter-in-law, Su Qingyan was a breath of fresh air.
Anyone would love a daughter-in-law like her.
As drinks flowed and conversations buzzed, Shen Caixia and Su Qingyan chatted nonstop.
Eventually, after his uncle had a few too many drinks, the topic shifted back to the tech industry…Ali’s future and Guo Saile’s prospects.
He spoke passionately, while Li Mo listened politely, saying nothing.
“Xiao Mo, you must work at an internet company someday.”
“You know how fast the industry is growing.”
“With such a great wife, you need to earn more to support her.”
“Don’t let things fall apart like before.”
Li Mo nodded repeatedly.
Just then, a call came in from the transport company.
After a brief conversation, he hung up.
“What’s going on?”
Guo Saile looked pleased with himself.
“My car’s arrived. I’m heading out to sign for it…it was shipped earlier. I’ll drive it while I’m home.”
“I’ll be right back.”
Li Mo informed everyone and walked outside.
Su Qingyan stayed behind, chatting endlessly with Shen Caixia.
She felt vindicated…Li Mo’s former mother-in-law had looked down on him, but now she still had to be his mother-in-law.
Li Mo’s father sat quietly, sipping his drink, but inside, he felt content.
His son’s future was settled, and he had fewer worries now.
Still, he needed to remind his son…this time, they had to have children soon. He didn’t want a repeat of the past, where they supported a daughter-in-law’s career only to end up with nothing.
“I’ll go take a look too!”
Guo Saile followed Li Mo out, and Guo Mengmeng joined him.
Soon, Mengyue and several of Li Mo’s cousins tagged along.
Mengyang shouted, “I want to see the hacker’s car!”
The younger crowd all headed toward the hotel entrance.
