The Villain s RedemptionThe Villain s Redemption
"Bella… how could you say that?" Su Xieren tried to grab her arm again, but this time, Bella was quick enough to avoid him. "Please… just… one conversation."
Bella frowned as she stared at Su Xieren's face. Clearly, she was a little dissatisfied with how the original Bella fell for this man. Su Xieren was the typical good looking that you can easily find on the streets of this city. Someone that you could see in a variety show that needed a lot of exposure so he could get a big break. Bella was not that good-looking but she should have standards too, right? After dating someone like Mo Li in the past, shouldn't she date an upgrade?
Was it because Bella lacked the confidence to find someone better? Bella came from a rich family, there would be a lot of young masters that would be willing to marry her.
Was it because she really liked Su Xieren's way of comforting her when she was still broken-hearted because of Mo Li? Well… that would be a bit reasonable. However, this Su Xieren didn't have any other good characters aside from being that good comforter? He wasn't even that smart and he wasn't that rich too. Moreover, this man looked like a walking indecisive.
Just one look and Lily was about to see that this man lack the ability to make the right decisions.
Seeing her in a daze, Su Xieren took the opportunity to try and held her hand but again, Bella was quick to move away from him. "Mr. Su… I don't think there is something that we needed to talk about." She uttered before she realized how fishy this situation was. Slowly, Bella's hand made its way into her bag and turn on the recorder that Mo Li gave her.
This was conveniently smaller and had a big storage capacity that would enable her to record a lot of stuff. Moreover, it looked like a small black lipstick— which is very essential for a weak, skinny woman like her.
"Bella… please… I heard that you wanted to talk to me. I heard from your father that you still like to— "
"Mr. Su, I don't think my previous words were so hard to understand. Let me repeat it in simple terms. 'Please leave me alone. I have no interest in having a private conversation with you.'"
"But— "
"No Buts. It took me years to move on and now that I am finally at this place, I don't want you to disturb me again. There is no way that I would give you another chance. You can beg, you can kneel, you can cry. You can do whatever you want and it won't change my decision."
"But I still love you?"
Bella look at the man in disbelief before she started chuckling. Love? "Is that why you cheated on me with my cousin less than five years after our wedding?" she asked.
"That— That was a mistake. It wasn't my intention. She seduced me and me— I was young and stupid. I got blinded by the s.e.x and the thrill. But I now realized my mistake. So, please… Bella… everyone deserves a second chance. I think— "
"I think you should just leave me alone, Mr. Su." Bella smiled. "You and I are done. We have nothing to say to each other." She turned her back and hastily walked towards the toilet, making sure that the room is locked from the inside. A part of her was telling her that this wasn't just a coincidence and that Su Xieren was here to ruin her marriage with Mo Li.
In this type of situation, Bella's mind acted faster than she could blink her eyes. Her thoughts immediately told her to lock the door and prevent Su Xieren from coming inside. Then she immediately dialed Mo Li's phone, calling him for rescue. She didn't know why she thought the latter would be able to do something against Su Xieren. She knew that Mo Li was avoiding scandals and news that would tarnish his reputation but she really doesn't have anyone else to call.
Pursing her lips, Bella tried to calm herself as she leaned against the door. She held her racing heart, hoping that Mo Li would arrive soon.
"Bella, please open the door."
Bella froze when she heard Su Xieren's voice. He tried to turn the knob before knocking on the door. It was as if a bucket of cold water was poured inside Bella's head when she realized that her initial thoughts had been right. Su Xieren indeed tried to get inside the toilet. Meaning, this must have been staged by someone too.
Bella didn't know how she thought of all these possibilities but she decided to once again listen to her instincts. Someone must have wanted to embarrass her or take some photos of Su Xieren and Bella together. Perhaps someone wanted Mo Li to get involved too? There were so many possibilities.
"Bella, are you there?" Mo Li's voice sent some relief inside her. "Why are you blocking the door?" Clearly, his question was aimed at Su Xieren.
"What does it have to do with you?" Su Xieren didn't hide the anger in his voice. When Bella heard this, she immediately opened the door and walked towards Mo Li's side.
"Bella… I thought you still love me? Can you just leave him and fix our marriage?" Su Xieren immediately turned his attention towards Bella. "How could you give up on something that he cultivated for years? When this man left, I was the one who took care of you. Every time you got so drunk, I was there. I helped you walk home, I comforted you. Did you forget the pain that this man caused you? He is someone from the Mo Family while you are a Qin. Did you forget that he once tried to play with your emotions like a toy car?" Su Xieren's face turned ugly. The more he stared at Bella standing next to Mo Li the more irritated he became.
