The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 861 - 876: Deny to the Death

Qi Shangyu moved up the meeting simply because he didn’t want to hear Xia Mo keep talking endlessly here.

"You should head back first, I’m about to have a meeting here." After speaking, Qi Shangyu stood up from his chair and strode out of the office.

Xia Mo looked displeased as she stared at the closed door. She picked up her bag and was just standing up from the sofa when she noticed Qi Shangyu’s phone on his desk.

She walked over in her high heels, a malicious smile curling on her lips, picked up the phone, and began swiftly tapping the screen with her fingertips.

.......

An hour later, Qi Shangyu walked out of the meeting room with one hand in his pocket, and Assistant Wang followed behind, reporting the schedule.

As soon as they entered the office, the phone on the desk rang. Qi Shangyu took a few large steps towards it and couldn’t help but smile upon seeing the contact name on the screen.

Assistant Wang was silently betting that the call was from Zhong Li, otherwise Qi wouldn’t be so happy. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Qi Shangyu put the phone to his ear, his voice gentle as he spoke: "Zhong Li, you..."

"Qi Shangyu, what do you mean by sending this text? Your mother being imprisoned is simply her due. Calling me malicious? Get your facts straight—she ran over me with a car, she had people kidnap Nancy. I haven’t even settled scores with you yet, and now you say you won’t let us go. Fine, if you want to avenge Li Jiaxue, I’m ready anytime."

Qi Shangyu’s smile slowly cracked and his eyes grew dark: "Zhong Li, I didn’t call you malicious, and I have no desire to take revenge on you."

"Still trying to lie? I’m sending you the text now, see for yourself."

After speaking, Zhong Li hung up immediately and sent a screenshot of the text to Qi Shangyu via WeChat.

Qi Shangyu looked at the WeChat message Zhong Li sent, confirming it was indeed from his phone number. His phone had been on the desk the whole time, so the text must have been sent by Xia Mo.

Seeing Qi Shangyu’s face darken ominously, Assistant Wang whispered, "President Qi, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work."

He feared staying might endanger his life.

When Qi Shangyu remained silent, Assistant Wang hurriedly made a wind-like exit from the office.

........

In a café near the company, Qi Shangyu sat beside the window, his expression gloomy. Xia Mo stirred her coffee with a spoon and took a small sip: "Shangyu, I’m really happy you could meet me."

Qi Shangyu pushed the phone towards Xia Mo, the screen showing the text she sent to Zhong Li: "Messing with my phone without permission and sending such a text to Zhong Li, Xia Mo you’ve gone too far."

"I didn’t... I didn’t mess with your phone, and I certainly didn’t send any text to Zhong Li. There must be some misunderstanding."

Xia Mo put on an innocent and pitiable façade, stubbornly denying everything.

Qi Shangyu’s gaze turned icy as he chuckled coldly: "Let me be clear with you today, there’s nothing between us. Even without Zhong Li, I wouldn’t be interested in you, so please stop with these juvenile tricks."

Xia Mo, a true heiress, was raised like a princess at home, yet now she was humiliated by Qi Shangyu in a public place.

She dropped her timid expression and sharply replied: "Qi Shangyu, yes, I do like you, but don’t stomp all over my dignity. Zhong Li already has a boyfriend, why are you still clinging on?"
