Chapter 321: She Even Deceived Herself

Mother Li relayed these words to the police, and when she went to the hospital to see Bai Mo again, she bought her many expensive supplements.

She looked at her with kind and loving eyes, and while Shen Yuan was not around, she said, "You said you would be a daughter to me; I will be a mother to you. Since Mengmeng is gone, let us two poor souls rely on each other. If you have any difficulties in life in the future, you can tell me."

She leaned in close to Bai Mo and gently stroked her cheek, "Seeing you is like seeing Mengmeng. Why don't you acknowledge me as your godmother!"

"Okay." Bai Mo felt more relaxed inside. She noticed the bag Mother Li was holding; it was a limited-edition crocodile bag from a luxury brand she had seen online before, and there were car keys unconsciously exposed, worth several hundred thousand.

"Okay, I will be as filial to you as Mengmeng was."

"I believe you, you are a good child." Mother Li took a card out of her bag and handed it to her, "This is some pocket money from your godmother."

The two exchanged phone numbers, and then Mother Li left.

As soon as she left, Bai Mo couldn't wait to go to the nearest ATM; she didn't expect there to be fifty thousand yuan inside.

The Li family was indeed very rich; the pocket money she gave away so casually was actually this much!

She had never seen so much money at once; the money her aunt gave her was always stingy.

In a sedan in the distance, a gaze had been following her figure.

Bai Mo was soon discharged and returned to her normal life. After the school stepped in to negotiate with the landlord, Bai Mo was allowed to move back to the school temporarily.

However, Bai Mo had changed in every aspect.

Especially in terms of consumption; now she was willing to buy clothes, shoes, and cosmetics.

Her godmother was indeed very good to her; not only would she specifically drive to take her out for delicious food on weekends, but she would also celebrate her birthday.

Bai Mo enjoyed being pampered like this. Although she would occasionally mention Li Meng when chatting with Mother Li, she had gone from being uneasy at the beginning to feeling at ease.

As time went on, she even believed that she and Li Meng had a deep friendship, and it was all the fault of that murderer Kong Nuo for taking Li Meng's young life.

But in the deep, sleepless nights, Bai Mo would feel that Li Meng had a really good life; she had never heard her mention that her family conditions were so good before.

If she were still here, why would Mother Li be so good to her?

Bai Mo even felt that she was simply God's favorite; she lost Bai Fu but gained Shen Chi, lost Shen Chi but still had Shen Yuan, and now she had an extra Mother Li to love her.

She would continue to be this happy forever, definitely.

With no shortage of money in hand, Bai Mo gradually developed the habit of spending money lavishly.

If she had only relied on the few thousand yuan her aunt sent every month, how could it cover her expenses? Fortunately, there was Mother Li.

According to Mother Li, she ran a company. Although she didn't tell her how much the income was, one could tell from the several luxury cars she drove daily that she must earn quite a lot.

She also seemed to be very good at investing in things like real estate and gold.

Bai Mo touched the gold bracelet Mother Li had given her and thought that all those things would be hers in the future.

Recently, Mother Li seemed to have bought another house near the school.

It was said to be a duplex, and it was in the same residential complex where Jiang Sinian lived now.

But Bai Mo was too embarrassed to ask in detail. Living in the dormitory was indeed uncomfortable, and she hoped Mother Li would take the initiative to suggest she move over.

Bai Mo's changes also fell into the eyes of Jiang Siyu, who was somewhat surprised. Had she not learned her lesson from last time?

Her mother had taught her since she was a child not to show off wealth, and to be even more cautious when associating with people whose wealth and status did not match her own, as human nature is unpredictable.

Therefore, she and her brother had always been very low-key at school; from their clothes to their phones and computers, they were about the same as their classmates, looking no different from ordinary college students.

But Bai Mo was the type of person who made it obvious at a glance that a poor person had suddenly become rich.

She hung bags, jewelry, and everything on herself, not even finding it tiring.

Moreover, when she saw her, she would glare at her, and Jiang Siyu would, of course, immediately glare back.

Little did she know that with this glare, Bai Mo immediately found an opportunity to go and cry to Mother Li.

She exaggerated the matter of Jiang Siyu living in a high-end residential complex and looking down on her, and in short, emphasized the inconvenience of the dormitory in every way.

"Godmother wants you to live on campus," Mother Li asked her, "Have you forgotten about the Kong Nuo incident half a year ago? Although he has already been executed, there are too many bad people now."

Bai Mo was no longer afraid; to her, the person's death meant it was the end.

She was a person who never looked back.

"Godmother, I am very brave, I am not afraid of bad people," she said.

Mother Li smiled, but still did not relent and let her move into that residential complex.

Bai Mo resented her in her heart, thinking that a goddaughter was ultimately not as good as a biological daughter. If Li Meng were still alive, there would be no need for such cautious probing like she was doing; Mother Li would have definitely let her own daughter move in long ago.

She was not discouraged, but instead planned to show her loyalty well so that Mother Li could see her filial piety.

This filial intention naturally could not be paid for with the money Mother Li gave her.

Bai Mo asked her aunt for money again, but her aunt actually asked her in return, "Didn't I just send you two thousand yuan at the beginning of the month?"

She was in the hospital; after all, how could one walk by the river often without getting their shoes wet? She had contracted that kind of disease, and her body had collapsed all at once.

To relieve the pain, she could only use medicine.

When Bai Mo heard this rhetorical question, she became annoyed, "Aunt, it's not the era you lived in anymore. What can two thousand yuan do?"

"With the little money you give me, nothing is enough to do; it's not even as much as my godmother gives me!"

It almost made Shen Yuan die of anger on the spot.

Ultimately, worried that her niece would lack money and follow her own old path, she endured the pain and transferred another thousand yuan to her niece.

Now she finally understood what Ming Zi had said about her being an ungrateful wretch back then; wasn't the current Bai Mo exactly an ungrateful wretch?

No matter how rich Mother Li is, her daughter died because of her; would she really be spending money on her sincerely? Perhaps she is harboring some malice in the dark, waiting for her!

After resenting this in her heart, she felt she had been excessive.

She shouldn't have cursed her niece; perhaps that woman just couldn't accept her daughter's death for a moment and had placed all her maternal love onto Bai Mo.

She didn't know how much longer her own body could hold out; if someone could help her take good care of Bai Mo, she could leave with peace of mind.

However, she still sent her niece a text message, telling her to be more cautious in everything and not to trust Mother Li too much.

Bai Mo didn't pay any attention to that text message at all and just accepted the money.

One thousand yuan couldn't buy any decent gifts, but Bai Mo knew that the intention was what mattered most.

In the past, Li Meng loved making various handicrafts by hand, especially tinkering with bead strings.

Bai Mo went to buy some gold beads, mixed in some red agate, and personally wove a bracelet to give to Mother Li.

Mother Li stared at the bracelet for a long time, then suddenly hugged Bai Mo, squeezing her neck so tightly that it practically left her unable to breathe.

"Godmother?"
