Xu Wanting’s head suddenly felt heavy as she recalled what exactly had happened that time.
Since his first and only visit to her office, Xu Wanting had been extremely disdainful and disgusted by him.
After his fourth visit to the company, Xu Wanting had the security guard throw him out.
That time, Xu Mo seemed to not believe Xu Wanting would have him thrown out and ended up in a conflict with the security guard. Xu Wanting sent a female bodyguard to beat him up.
After that, Xu Mo didn’t dare to come up again!
On that occasion, Xu Mo had also endured making a pot of spare rib congee to send over. Due to the conflict, the congee ended up spilled all over the floor.
Later, the security guard reported that Xu Mo had sat outside the company for a while, then quietly cleaned up the mess and left her company silently.
At that time, Xu Wanting didn’t think much of it. She only felt it was good to have him gone, to prevent him from continuing to disturb her at the company.
But now, when she thinks back, what kind of emotions did Xu Mo have when he left?
At that time, he probably clearly knew that she didn’t want him upstairs!
Xu Wanting felt tears welling up, unable to stop them.
Suddenly, she couldn’t think straight.
She just felt like putting herself in his shoes.
If she were to look at it from Xu Mo’s perspective, she would probably feel despair to the point of death!
“Today is eldest sister’s birthday!”
“I heard from third sister that eldest sister will come back for her birthday!”
“That’s great, I can see eldest sister again!”
“Tang Lei, Huanxi, come with me to pick a gift! This is the first birthday of eldest sister that I’ll be present for! The previous times, I didn’t even know when it was!”
“Tang Lei, Huanxi says forget about the music box and the puppet doll, but instead, baby’s breath would be better. I think Huanxi’s right. Let’s choose baby’s breath!”
“This is my first time giving a gift to eldest sister, it has to be the best!”
“Eldest sister will definitely like this gift! This baby’s breath is so beautiful. Huanxi and I had to go to three different stores to find it! The owner wouldn’t even lower the price. Huanxi and I negotiated for a long time before they finally reduced it by three dollars!”
“Tang Lei, look at this baby’s breath, isn’t it beautiful?”
A photo appeared.
Xu Wanting’s expression froze, and suddenly, she had a faint recollection in her mind. But then, she continued looking down, and her expression froze.
“Elder sister threw away the baby’s breath! It was in the trash can, and I picked it up! Elder sister actually didn’t like this!” Xu Mo seemed very regretful.
“Sob…”
Xu Wanting remembered.
On that birthday, Xu Mo did indeed give her a gift. However, Xu Mo’s meek attitude made her dislike it very much. When she opened it, it was a crystal ball with baby’s breath inside, very cheap. So, she casually threw it in the trash can.
She remembers that she did it when Xu Mo wasn’t looking.
But the next day, did Xu Mo see it in the trash can?
Xu Wanting suddenly remembered something, tears flowing non-stop. She hastily ran out the door and dashed towards the second floor, quickly arriving at Xu Mo’s room.
Bang!
She pushed the door open and searched in the cabinet, and indeed found a dried baby’s breath and a crystal ball.
Xu Wanting, breathing heavily, her fingers trembling, could hardly believe it. She carefully opened the crystal ball and found a greeting card inside.
“Wishing eldest sister a happy birthday, wishing eldest sister happiness every day, may your smile bloom like a flower, and your life be as beautiful as a painting! Your brother, Xu Mo!”
Xu Wanting recalled the day of her birthday when Xu Mo timidly presented the gift to her, carefully handing it over. After the security incident, Xu Mo had become somewhat afraid of her and was hesitant to approach her.
When he took out the gift, he seemed embarrassed.
Xu Wanting had never thought this gift would hold special significance, so after a single glance, she threw it in the trash. To her surprise, it had been retrieved by Xu Mo and placed at the bottom of this drawer.
Xu Wanting had never realized she could be so callous.
How did Xu Mo know she had discarded the gift he had carefully chosen? How did he retrieve it and keep it as if it were a treasure?
Xu Wanting had no idea what emotions Xu Mo harbored while doing all of this!
She was a high-achieving student, a graduate of a prestigious university. In the eyes of others, she had always been one of the most outstanding and capable individuals.
She had always been intelligent, wise, and rational, effortlessly running a large company.
However, she never imagined that she, as outstanding as she was, could have done something so terrifying.
Yes!
She felt that all of this was truly terrifying.
She found it difficult to imagine the emotions Xu Mo must have harbored at that time.
“My eldest sister is my idol!”
“My eldest sister is the most capable, the most outstanding person!”
“I also want to study and work as hard as my eldest sister!”
“If only I had one-tenth, no, one-hundredth of my eldest sister’s excellence, that would be great! I’m afraid I couldn’t even compare to my eldest sister even if I tried my best!”
“Tang Lei, Huanxi, look at these, they are all my eldest sister’s certificates, so many, I can’t even finish looking at them! My eldest sister is truly amazing!”
At that time, Xu Mo’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at her.
It was as if he was filled with excitement, unable to contain himself, brimming with admiration, like seeing an idol.
As Xu Wanting now recalls, it seems that every time Xu Mo saw her before, he was very excited, swiftly running over to help her with things and quickly greet her.
After that, Xu Wanting only found it troublesome.
But gradually, Xu Mo’s expression changed from admiration and excitement to fear, until he left home, until he disappeared.
Yet just now, when she went to see him, there was not a trace of excitement in his eyes. Instead, they were as dead and dull as can be.
The way he looked at her, it was as if he were gazing at the most ordinary stranger!
She could have been his idol.
She could have been a guiding light in his life!
He was an orphan before, and he had never encountered someone like her.
He used to admire her immensely, idolize her, and constantly vowed to become someone just like her, to become even one percent as outstanding as her.
But what had she done?
“Xu Wanting, evil deeds will have consequences. It’s just not time yet. You won’t escape retribution in the future!”
“Sob…”
Xu Wanting was now crying, already lying on the bed.
She couldn’t contain her own voice any longer.
She had never known that Xu Mo would be driven to such despair!
She was no longer his idol; she had become his executioner!
