The Villain's Redemption Chapter 241 Peace of Mind is Thicker than Blood

Chapter 241 Peace of Mind is Thicker than Blood

Surprised at her outburst, the mayor stared at her and immediately thought that she reacted because she still has feelings towards Su Xieren. The mayor remembered that Bella used to addressed Su Xieren as Renren when they were still together. "I'm sorry. I never thought that you would have this reaction towards that man. I guess… love is still love."
The Mayor's words rang in her ears. However, it only made her more confused. Why was she so angry? Why does the name Renren make her so angry? She turned her head away as she tried to recall something… She felt that…
Bella paused when she recalled that this was what the original Bella used to call Su Xieren. "Please don't use that name again," she said. "And I have no intention to become his woman again. Please have a good day ahead." She opened the door but the Mayor held his arm.
"I know you are only doing this to spite me and him. You are succeeded. Su Xieren is current.y processing his divorce. It wouldn't even take a month before the divorce will be completed. I can assure you that he would soon reach out and— "
"I am not leaving this country. I am not leaving this city and I am not leaving my husband." She interrupted him, her eyes were already on Mo Li's car. Slowly, she turned her head towards her father. "Please don't bother me again. You and I… are strangers now."
"You will take that word back!" the Mayor hissed.
"Considering you were the one who kicked me out, it is quite presumptuous of you to talk to me like you still know me," she sneered. "I came here because of my marriage. I am not planning to play happy family with you just to satisfy your damn ego." She shook his hand off her arm and got out of the car.
"You will regret this! You know that the Mo Family are— "
"You know Mayor…" She stood just outside of the car, her voice was loud enough for the Mayor to hear. "Sometimes… my peace of mind is thicker than blood."
The old man furrowed his brows when he heard Bella's words. He watched as his own daughter walked away from his car and got into what he thought was Mo Li, in a black SUV.
"Mayor, what are we going to do with— "
"Let her be!" He said. His assistant sat on the front seat and looked at him.
"But her marriage to someone from the Mo Family was— "
"They are taking advantage of her anger towards me and Su Xieren." He stated. "She will soon realize that she was being used by that cunning Mo Li. And once that happens, she would immediately come back." He sighed and closed his eyes. Bella's sudden arrival just as the election is coming was only making his head hurt. "Call Su Xieren, I am sure that Bella still liked that man. Tell him to make Bella leave Mo Li. Once he does that, I will forgive him and his family for leaving Bella in the first place!"
"Yes, sir. Also, Miss Laney Qin's lawyer called us. It seems that Mr. Mo filed a case against her. We already processed the bail but she can no longer leave the country. So— "
"Send her and her family to the Island. The Mo Family will only use this news to their advantage! That damn woman was just— " The Mayor clicked his tongue as he recalled what happened back then.
All of them really thought that Bella was the one who stole Su Xieren. Laney Qin's scheme really ran so deep, not one of them noticed that she was actually the one bullying Bella and not the other way around. He thought of what happened years ago and remembered how Bella begged him not to make her chose between staying with Su Xieren and losing her identity as a Qin. She cried and kneeled, asking him to reconsider.
At that time, he wasn't aware that Laney and Su Xieren were already in a relationship. He thought that this was only Bella's scheme to make Laney suffer. After all, everyone thought that Bella had been jealous of Laney and her achievements. Right now, the Mayor knew that everything about his previous assumptions was wrong. He made his daughter suffer.
However, his ego wouldn't allow him to apologize to her. She was his daughter. She needed to understand that what he did was only for the future of the Qin Family.
"Mayor, some media personnel had been calling us since this morning about this issue. Shall we go ahead and release a statement about what happened? Right now, everyone had their own assumptions. They didn't get a piece of clear information about what happened between you and Bella and her disappearance for almost five years. We needed to make a statement as soon as possible about this matter to save your reputation."
"I understand. Schedule a press conference for tomorrow at eight in the morning. I want to surprise them when they wake up. Did that Mo Li thought he could use Bella against me?" the Mayor sneered. "He is wrong— so wrong."
Meanwhile, Bella was still in a bad mood. She crossed her arm across her chest as she thought of the name. Why was she so angry about a simple name?
"Was it the mayor?" Mo Li asked her.
"Hmm." She nodded. Slowly, her eyes met his. "You look good in blue." She wondered if Mo Li's favorite color was blue. After all, he also gave him a blue diamond as an engagement ring, and now, he was wearing a dark blue suit.
"I thought, I look good on everything?'' he beamed, immediately easing her frown. "What did the mayor do this time?"
"He wanted me to leave the city."
"Oh? Interesting. I was thinking that he would force you to get back with your ex."
"That won't happen." She answered almost immediately.
"I know. " Mo Li's reached out his hand and held the back of her neck, slowly massaging her nape. "Relax… stop thinking about people that don't matter."
