Chapter 317: Bai Mo Never Liked Him

It was a man, not as tall as him, with a voice as hoarse as a ghost crawling up from a sewer.

Xiao Hang was so scared that his legs went weak immediately.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, what was pressed against his lower back right now was a dagger.

It was very sharp, having already sliced through his sweater, and the cold, keen blade was pressed tight against his skin.

It seemed like it could be stabbed in at any moment.

"You, you don't be impulsive, let's talk this out properly..." He tried to steady this person first, but unexpectedly, this person had no intention of wasting words with him, pressing the dagger directly into his skin.

Xiao Hang let out a pained groan; never in his life had he seen such a murderous situation, and he immediately cried and compromised, "I'll leave her! I'll break up with her! Please, big brother, don't kill me!"

Whether it was his calling him "big brother" that worked, or his agreement to break up with Bai Mo, in any case, the big brother let him go.

Then, holding the dagger, he patted his face in a highly insulting manner, "Coward!"

"Remember what you said; I will be watching you two the whole time."

Xiao Hang scrambled away from the small alley.

The experience tonight made him understand an important life philosophy: for him, his life was the most important thing.

Money and love were simply not worth mentioning compared to his life.

He might love many people in his life, but he only had one life.

……

The next day, Bai Mo waited at home for quite a while but did not see Xiao Hang come to pick her up.

It was almost time for class; did he want to make her late?

Late—Bai Mo's eyebrow-drawing motion paused; she thought of the reason she had broken up with Jiang Sinian and decided that when Xiao Hang arrived later, she would absolutely not blame him for being late, and would even reward him with a kiss.

"Bai Mo, did he forget?" Li Meng had originally wanted to go to school with the two of them, but she was getting anxious as Xiao Hang still hadn't arrived.

Bai Mo was annoyed, "It's fine, it's daytime now, it's fine if we go to school by ourselves; he must have been delayed by something."

She pushed open the door and ran right into Si Rong and Jiang Cheng, who had just stepped out of the elevator.

Si Rong's gaze was very, very cold, and then she entered the room opposite without saying a word.

Now Li Meng believed what Jiang Siyu had said about Bai Mo having bad blood with them.

Looking at the expressions on both sides, the bad blood was likely not small.

Bai Mo gave an unnatural little huff and, chin held high, stepped into the elevator.

So what if Si Rong didn't like her? She didn't care about Jiang Sinian anymore, and she had even used her own charm to find a better boyfriend.

They went downstairs, and then Bai Mo saw someone she hadn't expected.

Kong Nuo? How did he get out so quickly?

To tell the truth, although Kong Nuo had fawned over her everywhere in the past, and even his later imprisonment had something to do with her, Bai Mo had never liked him.

She felt that Kong Nuo was not worthy of her, and besides, the gap between them now was so vast; she was a clean, proper college student, while Kong Nuo was a high school dropout who had been to prison.

"You, you're here."

Steadying her nerves, Bai Mo forced a smile onto her lips.

Li Meng said in a low voice, "You met an acquaintance? Then I'll head to school first."

For some reason, she felt a bit afraid when she saw this person.

"Don't! Wait for me!" Bai Mo was also afraid; she grabbed Li Meng's arm, wanting her to keep her company.

"Kong Nuo, I still have class, let's chat next time we meet!"

She ran away with small steps, and Kong Nuo stood where he was without following.

He just looked calmly at the spot where Bai Mo had just been standing downstairs.

Only when she walked into the school and saw that Kong Nuo hadn't followed did Bai Mo finally heave a sigh of relief.

The current Kong Nuo had changed too much compared to a year ago.

He exuded an aura of fearing nothing, and she felt he was becoming a bit hard to control.

Sitting in the classroom, she first sent a message to Xiao Hang.

No accusations, only consideration—completely the opposite of how she used to be in front of Jiang Sinian.

She had assumed Xiao Hang would be eternally grateful to her.

Unexpectedly, after sending the message, she first saw a line of red text.

? Xiao Hang had actually blocked her?

Connecting it to Kong Nuo downstairs today, Bai Mo couldn't help but link the two events together.

If Xiao Hang's departure was Kong Nuo's doing, then what should she do?

She hadn't expected that Xiao Hang, who kept saying he loved her, would run so fast when he encountered a little setback.

This couldn't help but make her think of Jiang Sinian from before; if he were still by her side, he would definitely have protected her.

Subconsciously looking at the seat Jiang Sinian usually sat in, Bai Mo discovered that he hadn't come to class today.

Jiang Yue hadn't come either.

What were they doing?

……

"Mom, why are we moving in such a hurry?" Jiang Siyu was puzzled.

The place Si Rong had newly found was a high-end residential complex near the school; if they moved there, it wouldn't be convenient to invite classmates over to play in the future.

"I told you to move, so move!" Si Rong watched the children move with a stern expression.

All three of them had taken leave and spent the whole morning moving house.

The landlord was quite reasonable; he returned the deposit to them and only charged an extra half-month's rent.

Then, a "For Rent" sign was hung on the door again.

……

After school, Bai Mo felt uneasy the entire way, but fortunately, she did not run into Kong Nuo.

She also wanted to move back to the school.

However, dormitory beds were currently in very short supply, and even though Li Meng had mentioned it in advance, the application had not yet been approved.

Aside from continuing to live here, she had no other choice right now.

She would still have to find an opportunity to talk to Kong Nuo later, hoping he would not disturb her current life.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Bai Mo saw a conspicuous "For Rent" advertisement on the door opposite hers.

She leaned in to look, feeling somewhat incredulous; it was indeed for rent.

Thinking she had gone to the wrong floor, she stepped back and checked the elevator again—it was correct.

So, when Si Rong and the others came early this morning, was it to help the Jiang Sinian siblings move?

Bai Mo dug her fingertips hard into her palms; ha, did Si Rong find out that she was living across from Jiang Sinian?

It was just moving, after all; when the time came, she could also move to wherever Jiang Sinian was living.

Not for any other reason, but just to spite that mother and daughter.

She could feel that Si Rong's attitude toward her had changed only after Bai Fu passed away.

Looking down on her? She would definitely live better than the Jiang Sinian siblings!

Opening the room door with her key and seeing the person sitting on the sofa, Bai Mo could not help but scream.

Kong Nuo did not know how he had gotten in, but he was sitting on their sofa watching television.

Seeing her enter, he even smiled at her, "You're back."

This version of Kong Nuo seemed to have some of his former shadow; Bai Mo put down the books in her hand and walked in front of him, "Mm, just got out of school."

"Kong Nuo, how did you get in?"

The smile on Kong Nuo's face did not change, "I had nothing to do inside, so I learned how to pick locks while I was at it."

Bai Mo felt goosebumps rising all over her body.

"Are you also wanting to ask how I got out of prison so quickly?"

Kong Nuo stood up.

The next second, Bai Mo only felt the world spinning, and she was pinned directly onto the sofa by Kong Nuo.
