The dating reality show host just wanted to give up, but the rich girl fell for him.

Lin Mo's voice echoed slowly in the quiet living room.

His tone was as calm as still water, devoid of anger, sadness, or even the slightest fluctuation.

It was as if he was about to recount not his humiliating experience of being cuckolded, but rather the story of his neighbor's cat going missing yesterday.

Lin Mo slowly unscrewed the old-fashioned thermos in his hand and took a sip of warm cola ginger soup.

"Back then, I was doing odd jobs to raise enough money to buy that limited edition bag."

That afternoon, I happened to be working part-time repairing locks at the entrance of the SKP upscale shopping mall.

Upon hearing the words "lock repair," Lin Chacha, who was standing next to her, almost burst out laughing.

She glanced at Zhao Kuo out of the corner of her eye, and the two exchanged an extremely disdainful look.

Lock repair?

A grown man setting up a locksmith stall outside a shopping mall? That's even more lowly and shameful than delivering food!

Zhao Kuo could barely contain his sarcasm; he had already planned how he would thoroughly humiliate this lousy locksmith in front of the entire internet.

However, Lin Mo's next words instantly froze Zhao Kuo's smile.

"Actually, it's not an ordinary lock." Lin Mo seemed lost in memories, a focused look flashing in his eyes. "It's a bronze lock with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams from the Ming Dynasty. The mechanism was stuck, and the people from the Antique Association were at a loss, so they asked me to help them disassemble it."

"I was wearing work clothes covered in machine oil and holding tweezers covered in rust."

"If I can take that lock, I'll get a hefty reward, just enough to cover the down payment on that bag."

Lin Mo chuckled lightly, his smile carrying three parts mockery and seven parts nonchalance.

"Just as I was about to solve the last puzzle, I looked up."

"Then, I saw her."

The air in the entire Heartbeat House seemed to be drawn into a vacuum in that instant.

Everyone held their breath, tens of millions of eyes fixed on Lin Mo on the screen.

Lin Mo lowered his eyes, his knuckles tapping lightly on the rim of the thermos, making a crisp "tap, tap" sound.

"She was wearing the new dress I bought for her, and her makeup was exquisite."

"But the person she was holding hands with wasn't me."

"She walked into the luxury store arm in arm with a man, their posture extremely intimate."

"Ten minutes later, she came out smiling, carrying that limited edition Hermes bag that I couldn't afford even if I saved up for several months without eating or drinking."

Lin Mo slowly raised his head, looking directly at Zhao Kuo sitting opposite him.

His eyes remained clear, yet sharp as a newly sharpened scalpel, capable of easily dissecting all pretense.

"I was standing outside the glass window with a pair of lock-fixing tweezers in my hand."

Lin Mo smiled, a condescending, all-knowing, and disdainful smile.

"At that moment, I suddenly understood."

"Maybe she just prefers the kind of man who can take her into a wealthy family without her having to fix the lock or even get the key."

Lin Mo paused deliberately at this point.

He stared at Zhao Kuo's slightly pale face, then blinked, a mocking smile curving his lips, and added, word by word:

"after all……"

"That man had a huge beer belly and a completely bald head."

"But the way he swiped his card was really 'generous'."

boom--!!!

These words were like a nuclear bomb with tremendous force, exploding in the minds of viewers across the entire internet!

Dead silence.

Absolute silence lasting ten seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the live stream's chat system experienced an unprecedented and frenzied explosion! The screen was filled with exclamation marks, almost completely engulfing the view!

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!! What did I just hear?!]

[Too much information! My CPU is about to overheat!]

[Wait! Everyone, don't rush to sympathize with Lin Mo yet. Let's check the timeline!]

Valentine's Day is February 14th! Su Qing and Lin Mo broke up in early March! Then Su Qing officially announced her relationship with Zhao Kuo in April!

[So, on Valentine's Day, Su Qing hadn't broken up with Lin Mo yet, and she was already out shopping for bags with another man?!]

[Case solved! This isn't some kind of 'pursuit of a better life,' it's outright marital infidelity! It's seamless! It's cheating!]

The experts in the live chat instantly transformed into Sherlock Holmes.

Countless eyes began frantically searching for the fatal details hidden in this passage.

Something's not right! There's an even more terrifying blind spot!

[Lin Mo just said that the man who bought her the bag was an older man with a "beer belly" and a "Mediterranean" bald patch!]

[But look at Zhao Kuo in the picture! Young Master Zhao is only twenty-six years old, with a thick head of beautiful hair, and he goes to the gym regularly; he doesn't have a beer belly at all!]

[In other words... the man who bought Su Qing a bag on Valentine's Day wasn't Zhao Kuo at all!!!]

[Oh my god!!! I understand now! I completely understand!]

[Su Qing first cheated on Lin Mo by hooking up with a Mediterranean-looking old man and getting that Hermes bag!]

Then, she kicked the old man and Lin Mo, turned around, used that bag to dress herself up as a socialite, and hooked up with Zhao Kuo?!

[Hahahaha! After all that, it turns out that the goddess that Young Master Zhao spent tens of millions to woo was actually a high-end escort who had changed hands three times?!]

[Zhao Kuo is actually a complete and utter 'scapegoat'?!]

[This is hilarious! The girl who took over the relationship is still smugly interrogating her ex-boyfriend, only to find out she's been cheated on!]

At that moment, public opinion on the internet completely reversed.

In the living room of the Heartbeat House.

Zhao Kuo was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning, and remained frozen on the sofa.

His pride in his rationality crumbled the moment Lin Mo uttered the word "Mediterranean."

Zhao Kuo's face went from pale to ashen, and then from ashen to a purplish-red like pig liver.

He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his thick hair, which had cost hundreds of thousands to maintain and even had a high-end hair transplant.

Yes, he doesn't have a receding hairline! Nor does he have a beer belly!

Who exactly is that guy who bought Su Qing a bag for Valentine's Day?!

Zhao Kuo felt a sudden dizziness, his stomach churning, as if someone had forced a mouthful of flies down his throat.

He went to great lengths, spent countless resources, and even showed his face in front of the national audience, all to vent his anger for Su Qing and to crush Lin Mo, that poor bastard!

And the result?!

The Joker was himself!

He became the biggest joke on the internet! A complete sucker who spent an exorbitant amount of money to keep a used woman who had already been played with by others!

"Young Master Zhao, you don't look too well."

Lin Mo leaned back on the sofa, leisurely watching Zhao Kuo's distorted face, his tone still calm.

"What's wrong? Was my story not interesting enough, or do you not like listening, Young Master Zhao?"

Murder and kill!

What is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit? This is it!

Lin Mo didn't even utter a single swear word. With the most indifferent tone, he completely tore Zhao Kuo's dignity and face to shreds, throwing him on the ground and trampling on him repeatedly!

Meanwhile, inside a high-end apartment in Beijing.

"Snapped!"

A crisp popping sound rang out.

The crystal goblet worth several thousand yuan in Su Qing's hand was crushed by her.

Sharp shards of glass pierced her palm, and blood dripped from her pale fingers onto the expensive carpet, but she seemed not to feel any pain.

"It's over...it's all over..."

Su Qing trembled all over, her face as pale as a sheet of paper, and she collapsed to the ground.

She never expected that Lin Mo would be right outside the SKP mall that day!

He clearly saw everything, so why hasn't he said a single word in the past few months?!

He was like a venomous snake, lurking until today, in this live broadcast room with tens of millions of viewers, on this "execution platform" she thought could completely destroy him...

It gave her the most fatal blow!

"Buzzing—"

The phone, which had been tossed onto the sofa, began to vibrate incessantly.

Su Qing crawled over with trembling hands and tapped the screen.

Weibo has completely crashed.

Her private messages were flooded with 999+ messages in just one minute, all filled with all sorts of vulgar and abusive language.

[Shameless slut! Still daring to play the victim?]

So your limited edition was obtained by sleeping with a balding old man! Disgusting!

My heart aches for Brother Lin Mo; he's been terribly wronged by a vicious woman like you!

What made her even more desperate was that the all-powerful netizens had already used facial recognition and timeline comparison to find the blurry figure captured by the SKP mall's surveillance cameras that day!

The man with the "Mediterranean" hairline was none other than the owner of a small coal mine in Beijing, who was already fifty-eight years old!

The proof is like a mountain!

Su Qing's disguise, her carefully cultivated socialite persona, was stripped bare at this moment, leaving her with nothing but her underwear.

Not only was she completely disgraced, but when Zhao Kuo returned, he would definitely tear her apart!

Inside the Heart-Fluttering Cottage.

After hearing Lin Mo's story, Jiang Ruoyun did not gossip like netizens.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were now filled with undisguised heartache.

She thought Lin Mo was putting on a brave face, and that his calm tone concealed immense pain.

"Lin Mo..."

Jiang Ruoyun suddenly reached out and hugged Lin Mo's arm tightly.

She tilted her head back, her eyes as resolute as a knight ready to draw his sword to protect the princess.

Don't be sad.

Jiang Ruoyun's clear and crisp voice echoed throughout the entire live stream room.

"I won't be repairing locks anymore."

"What's so great about that shabby bag? I'll have my dad buy that store tomorrow and give it to you as a toy!"

"That blind woman doesn't deserve you at all!"

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment after hearing Jiang Ruoyun's bold and extremely protective speech.

Then, the coldness in his eyes vanished instantly, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

He reached out his other hand and naturally ruffled Jiang Ruoyun's fluffy head.

I'm not sad.

Lin Mo looked at Jiang Ruoyun, his tone carrying a hint of relaxation that only she could understand.

"I'm actually quite glad that I didn't spend the money on her."

The two of them, oblivious to everyone else, were interacting so sweetly that, to Zhao Kuo, who was standing to the side, it was like pouring concentrated sulfuric acid on his wound!

Zhao Kuo, a well-known rich second-generation in the capital, was like a rotten fish that had been stripped of its scales and thrown onto a chopping board at this moment!

All the cameras were shoved into his face, capturing his liver-colored face and the madness in his eyes.

"Lin Mo—!!!"

Zhao Kuo suddenly let out a roar like a wild beast.

The string of reason snapped completely.

He suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot, and the veins on his neck bulging.

"Fuck your grandpa! You dare to trick me!!!"

Like a madman, Zhao Kuo grabbed the edge of the solid wood coffee table in front of him with both hands, his muscles bulging, and was about to overturn the table that was originally used for playing games!

"Quick! Cut off the signal!"

The director, hidden behind the camera, was terrified and let out a fierce roar.

"Cut off the live stream immediately! Now!!!"

next second.

On the screens of tens of millions of viewers, the image suddenly flickered.

Accompanied by a burst of ear-piercing noise.

The live stream room fell into complete silence and darkness.
