《Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After struggling to jump out of the old minivan, Mo Yan held the hem of her wedding dress as she carefully avoided the puddles on the ground. Rain poured down, and the minivan quickly drove away, sshing arge amount of mud onto her wedding dress. Mo Yan sighed and walked slowly toward the dpidated brick house in front of her. The brick house was not locked. As soon as Mo Yan pushed the door open, she could see everything in the house: an old wooden bed, a table with one leg missing, two wooden chairs, a dark redcquered cab and a small cubicle. Mo Yan epted her fate and walked to one side of the bed to sit down. The bumpy journey had already exhausted her. She was also wearing a heavy wedding dress soaked in rainwater, which made her even more exhausted. Since she was ordered by her stepmother to rece her stepsister in marrying a pauper, she was not surprised by the terrible environment here. After she married him, her stepmother would give her a sum of money. With the money, she could pay for the treatment of her mother¡¯s illness, and her younger brother would be able to continue his studies. Being able to take care of her family gave her life meaning. She anxiously waited until the sky turned dark. Finally, after a burst of lightning and thunder, she saw a drenched man push open the door and enter. The dpidated wooden door immediately let out an obscure creak. Rain trickled down the man¡¯s furrowed brows. Mo Yan did not expect her husband, who was extremely poor, to have furrowed brows, a straight nose, and a perfect and strong facial structure, it made her a little confused. The man only nced at Mo Yan, who was sitting by the bed in a wedding dress. Then, he entered the small cubicle and the sound of running water could be heard. When the man finished showering and walked towards her while drying his hair with a towel, it finally sunk in Mo Yan¡¯s heart that it was her wedding night, and that she was really going to spend it with the strange man in front of her. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Go to sleep.¡± The man said in a deep and maic voice as he walked to the other side of the bed and sat down. Mo Yan¡¯s heart was beating very fast. When she felt the slight sway of the wooden bed when the man sat down, she could not help but shiver. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m going to take a shower too.¡± Mo Yan did not dare to look at him. She stood up in fear and quickly hid in the small cubicle at the side. Just as she was about to close the door, she realized that the dpidated cubicle did not have a door at all. There was no ce for her to hide. Just as Mo Yan was panicking, the man outside seemed to understand what was going through her head. He said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m going out to smoke. Take your time to shower. There¡¯s no rush.¡± Then, the man strode out and closed the wooden door tightly. Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were red, and a wave of sadness welled up from the bottom of her heart. Although her life had never been easy, she was never as poor as she was right now. Looking at the shower and squatting pit in the cubicle, she could only hide in the corner. She then struggled and carefully took off the wedding dress on her body. After showering, she realized that there was no change of clothes in the cubicle. Mo Yan then wrapped a towel around her body and walked out. She looked at the dpidated house and tidied up the room before the man came back. She took out a nket from the wardrobe and carefullyid it on the bed. After doing all this, Mo Yan let out a sigh of relief. She crossed her arms and sat by the bed, waiting for the man to return. There was no hot water here. She had just taken a shower with cold water. The silence made her feel a chill all over her body. She could not help but tremble slightly. ¡°Hu¡­ Hu¡­¡± Mo Yan breathed into her palms, trying to get some warmth. Right as she was rubbing her hands together to warm up, the wooden door suddenly opened with a creak. Mo Yan subconsciously got up, and unexpectedly, the towel on her chest slipped down. She was shocked, and frantically tried to pull up the nket to cover herself. However, the lust on her chest had already leaked out. Her small face was stained with an alluring blush. The man¡¯s eyes zed over, and he lifted his feet to walk over. After Mo Yan anxiously covered her private parts with the nket, the man walked in front of her. Arge shadow enveloped her. The tip of her nose could even smell the fragrance of the soap that the man used to shower. ¡°Let¡¯s sleep.¡± The man¡¯s voice became a little hoarse. He stretched out his long arm and turned off the light with a click. Mo Yan¡¯s vision instantly turned pitch ck. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Immediately after, hisrge hand caressed her shoulder, and the man¡¯s hot chest pressed against her. Mo Yan was pressed onto the bed by the man¡¯s body. The moment her naked body came into contact with the cold mattress, she subconsciously leaned against the man¡¯s warm body. ¡°Do you know who I am?¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. The man held the bed board with one hand and wrapped the other around Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder. He pressed against her tightly. Mo Yan felt her mind go nk. After feeling his hot breath on her face, she swallowed her saliva and answered timidly, ¡°Yes, you are my husband¡­ Luo Tao.¡± She understood what he meant. He was reminding her that they were already married and that tonight was their wedding night. It was only right and proper for couples to do such things.. Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio He did not expect her to give him such a direct answer. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes shed with interest. She was not the Mo family¡¯s eldest daughter, Mo Lian, and he was not the useless country bumpkin from the Xiang family, Luo Tao. His real name was actually Huo Zhen. As soon as he entered the house, he realized that Mo Yan was just a substitute. In all honesty, why would the Mo family¡¯s noble and invible daughter, Mo Lian, be willing to marry a destitute local ruffian? However, since they both were substitutes, It was fair and even. Luo Tao thought for a moment as he turned over. He moved his wrist and was about to pull his arm out from under Mo Yan shoulder, when she called out softly, ¡°Luo Tao¡­¡± Luo Tao paused and looked down. He saw a pair of sparkling eyes looking at him timidly, which he found cute. Then, her two soft hands climbed onto his neck, with her soft body trembling as she approached him. Mo Yan mustered up her courage, nervously pursed her lips, and then said gently, ¡°You are my husband. You can do whatever you want to me.¡± Since she was married to Luo Tao, she had a duty to him. Luo Tao¡¯s throat tightened. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s clumsy and pure appearance, his heartbeat quickened. Just as Mo Yan raised her head and fixed her gaze on him with a somewhat dazed look, out of a sudden, Luo Tao pulled out his arm and grabbed Mo Yan¡¯s wrist with one hand. Then, he flipped himself over and lay down some distance away from her. Mo Yan had yet toe back to her senses. Her small mouth was slightly open, and her face was still flushed with embarrassment. She blinked her eyes and said, ¡°You¡­¡± Luo Tao turned his body sideways to avoid eye contact with her. He said lightly, ¡°Forget it. We¡¯re both tired today. Let¡¯s go to sleep.¡± Mo Yan looked at the his back and was stunned for a moment. She moved her slightly stiff body and exined in embarrassment, ¡°Luo Tao, I¡¯m not¡­¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. She was worried that Luo Tao would misunderstand and think that she despised him. Honestly, she did not mind how poor Luo Tao was. Now that she was in this situation, she just wanted to try her best to live a good life. ¡°I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you. I won¡¯t do anything to you before you arefortable.¡± Luo Tao said in a low voice. Then, the man whose back was facing her went silent, as if he had already fallen asleep. It was still raining and cold outside, but because of Luo Tao¡¯s presence in the bed, Mo Yan was comfortable, and she felt warm. In the pitter-patter of the rain, her thoughts ran wild. The Mo family and the Luo family had nned this engagement many years ago. However, something happened to the Luo family, causing their family fortunes to decline. As a result, they had to hide in a small mountain vige. Luo Tao was dispirited and fought and stole all day. Not only was he penniless, he was also a well-known local hooligan from the countryside. With that, Mo Lian naturally refused to marry him. However, in order to obtain a considerable amount of dowry, the Mo family forced Mo Yan, who was an illegitimate daughter of the Mo family, to marry in ce of her. Mo Yan could still remember her ¡®noble¡¯ elder sister, Mo Lian, looking down on her and saying, ¡°Why would I marry such a hooligan? You are more suitable. Your mother is a slut anyway, and your younger brother is also a bastard from God knows where!¡± ¡°Yan Yan, as long as you marry Luo Tao, I will give you a sum of money. Then, you can afford the treatment for your mother¡¯s illness, and pay for your younger brother¡¯s education.¡± Her father said coldly, with his eyes full of condescension. Her stepmother pointed at her and berated, ¡°You bitch! Being an illegitimate child of this family, you should be contented to be able to get married. Don¡¯t be ungrateful!¡± Mo Yan suddenly woke up. She sat up and realized that she had fallen asleep at some pointst night. There was no one beside her, Luo Tao had already gotten up early and left. She put on her clothes, washed up, and walked to the small kitchen that was built with wooden nks next to the brick house. She found two eggs, a few vegetable leaves, and a handful of noodles, and quickly made two bowls of noodles. Just as she brought the two bowls of steaming hot noodles to the table, Luo Tao happened to jog into the courtyard. Mo Yan looked up and saw that Luo Tao was bare-chested. His entire body was full of strong muscles, and was dotted withrge drops of sweat. He seemed to have just returned from his run. Under the sunlight, he looked particrly sexy and manly. Mo Yan¡¯s face was slightly hot. Seeing hime in, she took the initiative to greet him, ¡°Have you eaten breakfast? I made noodles.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao did not refuse. He walked straight over and sat down at the table. He took a bowl of noodles and said, ¡°Must have been hard work.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s okay.¡± Mo Yan stuttered. She secretly looked at the muscles on Luo Tao¡¯s body, then looked at the sandbags, dumbbells, and other items in the yard. She swallowed her saliva. She had heard that Luo Tao often went to the detention center for fighting. It seemed like it was not just a rumor. Would he hit her if he got angry? ¡°You eat too.¡± Luo Tao picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks. He looked at Mo Yan who was looking around and frowned. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Mo Yan quickly sat down, picked up her chopsticks, and started to eat in small bites.. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The two of them sat opposite each other and ate their noodles in silence. Mo Yan would carefully peek at Luo Tao from time to time. She noticed that Luo Tao was eating his noodles in an extremely refined manner. He did not make any sound, and his actions were so elegant that he actually looked like a young noble. He did not seem like a local ruffian or hooligan who lived in the countryside. ¡°Luo Tao seems like a decent person.¡± Mo Yan thought to herself. However, looking at her bleak surrounding, the house, and even rain leaking through a roof tile, Mo Yan shook her head as well as the absurd thoughts in her mind. After Luo Tao finished eating his noodles, he quietly looked up at Mo Yan, who was eating like a little hamster, which put him in a better mood. He then waited for her to finish eating. Mo Yan put down her bowl and found Luo Tao looking at her expressionlessly. She was a little nervous. ¡°Uh, is there something on my face?¡± Mo Yan touched her face awkwardly. Facing Luo Tao¡¯s eyes, she became more nervous. She really wanted to know Luo Tao¡¯s ns for their future. As a married couple, where would their living expensese from? How were they going to live? Seeing Luo Tao shake his head, Mo Yan bit her lips and asked tentatively, ¡°Um¡­ What are you going to do today?¡± ¡°Exercise. Why?¡± Luo Tao moved his chair away, stood up, and stretched his body. His doctor had instructed him to exercise every day. This would help his body recover and reduce his seque. It was very helpful to his health. ¡°Oh, okay. I¡¯ll go to the city to return the wedding dresster.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes dimmed. Seeing Luo Tao looking over, she squeezed out a smile and reached out to pick up the two sets of cutlery. Luo Tao didn¡¯t care about anything regarding their wedding. However, he did not realize the trouble that Mo Yan had gone to. She had to rent her wedding dress from a shop. He did not want to care, but when he saw Mo Yan¡¯s defeated expression, Luo Tao frowned slightly. He stopped her, ¡°Wait a moment.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Yan looked confused. Luo Tao walked to the broken mahoganycquer cab, took out a small carved wooden box from the bottom drawer, and handed it to Mo Yan. ¡°What?¡± Mo Yan took it and weighed the wooden box. She was confused. She opened the lid and saw a crystal clear jade bracelet lying quietly in the box. Even though Mo Yan did not know how to appraise jade, just by seeing the color and quality of the jade bracelet, she could tell that it was worth a lot. Luo Tao nced at the jade bracelet. His assistant had said that it was for a lucky draw. Giving it to Mo Yan now was a form of respect for her. ¡°This is all of our belongings. Since we are married, this bracelet will belong to you from now on.¡± Wasn¡¯t Luo Tao a pauper? How did he have such a valuable thing? Mo Yan held the wooden box in her hands in a daze. She opened her mouth and said, ¡°Ah, such a valuable bracelet¡­¡± ¡°Take it.¡± Luo Tao did not look at her again and walked out of the house. This must be thest valuable thing the Luo family has. She must take good care of it for Luo Tao! Mo Yan exhaled and closed the wooden box. She put the bracelet back in its original position. By the time Mo Yan washed, dried the wedding dress, and arrived at the city on the rickety country bus, it was already noon. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only When she got married, her stepmother and father did not prepare anything for her. Moreover, she had spent all the money she had on her to pay for her mother¡¯s treatment. She was really short of money, so she could only choose to rent a wedding dress to get married. The shop where she rented the wedding dress was located inside a shopping mall. It was not considered too high-end, but since it was pretty and had a good price, Mo Yan rented it. After Mo Yanboriously carried a arge bag with the wedding dress into the shop, the female shop assistant who was sitting behind the counter and ying with her phonezily raised her head. She looked Mo Yan up and down, then used two fingers to pinch the hem of the wedding dress. She said disdainfully, ¡°Come on, you just got married. How did you ruin the wedding dress to this state? What¡¯s this smell on it?¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead and quickly exined, ¡°I washed it with soap. It¡¯s very clean. There¡¯s no problem!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve only been married for one day. Did you go to the countryside to farm and feed the pigs in it? Moreover, the wedding dress has to be dry-cleaned.. Do you understand? Can you afford to pay to fix it?¡± The female employee rolled her eyes, then cursed in a low voice, ¡°Where did this country bumpkin come from?¡± Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Without waiting for Mo Yan to speak, the saleswoman picked up the calctor at the side and started typing, ¡°The dry cleaning fee is 3,000 yuan, thepensation for the wedding dress is 5,000 yuan, and the rental fee is 2,000 yuan, totaling 10,000 yuan. Pay up.¡± With that, a bill was handed to Mo Yan. The price of this wedding dress was less than 10,000 yuan, yet the saleswoman wanted her to pay 10,000 yuan? This was simply extortion! Mo Yan gritted her teeth and refused, ¡°How does that make sense? This wedding dress is obviously not broken, why should I pay 10,000 yuan? I won¡¯t give it to you!¡± ¡°Fine, you¡¯re trying to renege on your debt, right? I¡¯ll call the police to arrest you right now!¡± The female shop assistant snorted disdainfully, picked up her phone and was about to call the police. ¡°Who are you going to call the police to arrest?¡± Suddenly, a person walked in from outside the door. Mo Yan turned her head and saw that it was Luo Tao. Luo Tao strode over. When he saw Mo Yan¡¯s red-rimmed eyes, he immediately frowned and questioned the saleswoman coldly, ¡°Asking for sky-high prices and even threatening customers, is this the attitude you have when doing business?¡± When the saleswoman saw Luo Tao, she calmed down a little. However, she still gave the two of them a side nce with disdain. She said mockingly, ¡°You two are biting off more than you can chew. You can¡¯t even afford to buy a wedding dress for your wedding ceremony. You two are just delusional poor wretches!¡± The saleswoman¡¯s voice was sharp. When she said this, she immediately attracted the attention of people around them who started to gossip. The two of them were stunned. Luo Tao had never been called poor before. Mo Yan¡¯s face darkened, and she scolded, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about! How dare you talk about our marriage matters?¡± Although Mo Yan usually had a gentle personality and was not good at quarreling, if someone were to bully the people around her, she would immediately step forward and protect them. At this moment, Luo Tao, whom she had only known for a day, was someone she felt protective of. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s sudden aggression, Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were immediately filled with a trace of interest. Following that, Mo Yan continued, ¡°So what if we¡¯re poor? Are we stealing food from you? Even if we¡¯re poor, we¡¯re still righteous. We don¡¯t look down on others like you! Even if we¡¯re poor now, it¡¯s just temporary. In the future, we¡¯ll be rich. But you, your heart will be ck for the rest of your life!¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Speaking freely, Mo Yan took another step forward and subconsciously stood in front of Luo Tao. She continued to raise her voice and rebuked, ¡°You served me nicely when I first came to rent the dress. But now, you are finding reasons to make me pay more when I want to return it? Doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt? How much is this wedding dress even? You want me to pay 10,000 yuan? Don¡¯t you feel guilty extorting the money I earned? Moreover, if you want me to pay so much, you have to give me a legitimate reason!¡± Mo Yan¡¯s continuous bombardment shocked the female shop assistant so much that her mouth was wide open, but she could not say a word. Thismotion also rmed another manager in the store. A man wearing sses walked out, he frowned and asked, ¡°Who¡¯s causing trouble?¡± Luo Tao went forward and hugged Mo Yan, who was trembling slightly due to anger. He expressionlessly took out a card and handed it to the male manager. He said coldly, ¡°We will pay the money that needs to be paid, but¡­¡± After saying that, he looked coldly at the female employee who rolled her eyes and seemed to be very unconvinced. Seeing Luo Tao take out the card, the female employee curled her lips and sneered, ¡°You want to act like a rich man when you have no money? You are really funny.¡± ¡°Seeing the ss of your shop, I don¡¯t need to act like a rich man.¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows and looked around the shop. He pointed to the ss disy case at the entrance of the shop. One look and it was obvious that it was the shop¡¯s signature wedding dress. He lowered his head and said to Mo Yan, ¡°That one, is it nice?¡± Mo Yan looked in the direction of his finger. It was a ssic wedding dress. However, it had a special diamond embedded in the hem of the dress. Itplemented the simple design perfectly. It was very generous and noble.

However, the male manager beside them seemed to be very excited. When Luo Tao took out his card just now, he realized that it was no ordinary card. The saleswoman did not recognize it, but he did. It was a ck card that symbolized top-tier wealth! After he entered the card number the second time, he confirmed the identity of the card owner.. Luo Tao was not someone they could offend!

She¡¯s not sensible. I¡¯ll ask her to apologize to the both of youter.¡± Seeing the huge change in the manager¡¯s attitude, although Mo Yan was a little confused, she still answered unhappily, ¡°No need. We don¡¯t need an apology from such a person.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. Um, I¡¯ve recalcted. The 10,000 yuan bill is inurate. You have returned the wedding dress, so you don¡¯t have to pay extra. ¡°I¡¯ll go and get the wedding dress for you now. Please wait a moment.¡± The manager nodded and bowed. After the male manager walked over to help get the wedding dress, Mo Yan quickly tugged on Luo Tao¡¯s sleeve and whispered to him, ¡°Luo Tao, there¡¯s no need to fight with them. We can¡¯t afford it. Forget it!¡± That was a 58,000 yuan wedding dress. Even if they wanted to act as if they were rich, they really couldn¡¯t afford it! Luo Tao looked at her anxious expression and found it funny. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He patted the back of her hand tofort her and replied in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± After the saleswoman and the manager brought the wedding dress over, Luo Tao only looked at it and nodded, ¡°Okay, take my wife¡¯s measurements now.¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± The smile of the male manager became even brighter.

The female employee hesitated, and proceeded to continue as she was previously. ¡°Can you take measurements urately like this?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s face darkened. He stared coldly at the female employee and said in a ruthless tone, ¡°How about the size of the hem of the skirt? You have to kneel and measure it!¡± Seeing the change in Luo Tao¡¯s expression, the male manager was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He ran anxiously to the female employee¡¯s side and said in a low voice, ¡°This person has a ck card, you can¡¯t afford to offend him!¡± The female employee¡¯s expression was ugly. After receiving the manager¡¯s warning look, she gritted her teeth and slowly knelt down with a humiliated expression. She unfolded the leather ruler and took Mo Yan¡¯s measurements. Looking at the female employee who was previously arrogant and looked down on them now kneeling at her feet, Mo Yan pursed her lips and held Luo Tao¡¯s hand tightly. After the measurements were done, the female employee calmed down. She stood at the side with a dejected expression, like a plucked quail. The manager brought tea and chairs for the two of them, but they were all rejected by Luo Tao one by one. The calmer Luo Tao looked, the more nervous the manager became. Seeing Luo Tao¡¯s ck card, he did not even dare to think of his degree of nobility. Would he tear down his shop if he was not satisfied? ¡°You see¡­¡± the manager went forward again and observed the expressions of the two of them. After receiving the ¡°don¡¯t buy¡± look from Mo Yan several times, Luo Tao raised his eyebrows and looked at the female saleswoman beside him meaningfully. He said, ¡°Your service is not good enough. We won¡¯t buy this wedding dress.¡± Mo Yan immediately heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was worried about another matter. After publicly humiliating this saleswoman, the manager would be angry if he said he wouldn¡¯t buy it, right? However, after hearing Luo Tao¡¯s answer, the manager was stunned for a moment, but his smile didn¡¯t change. He continued to say obsequiously, ¡°It¡¯s our mistake.

Fortunately, you didn¡¯t buy it in the end, but you can¡¯t do this again in the future.¡± Hearing this, Luo Tao finally understood what she meant. He frowned and asked, ¡°Do you think I have no money?¡± Hearing that, Mo Yan hesitantly looked up at Luo Tao¡¯s expression and her voice softened, she exined, ¡°I¡¯m not ming you¡­ I know that you wanted to help me, but there are many things at home that need to be fixed.

She quickly added, ¡°When I get my dowry back, we will have more money to spend. It¡¯s just that before we earn money, we can¡¯t spend money extravagantly.¡± If she married Luo Tao, her father had promised to give her a dowry of 500,000 yuan.

Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s figure, Luo Tao chuckled. At this moment, his phone vibrated. He took out his phone and the smile immediately stopped. ¡°How¡¯s the investigation going?¡± Luo Tao asked in a deep voice. At this moment, Mo Yan was holding a bottle of mineral water in a freezer in the distance. ¡°Fourth Master Huo, the investigation is almost done. On the day of the ident, someone did tamper with the brake pads of your car, likely the person whom you are suspecting.¡± The person on the other end of the phone also lowered his voice. ¡°Yes, continue to investigate.

When she returned to the brick house, Luo Tao was sitting quietly at the table, and the food in front of him had not moved a single bit. Seeing Mo Yane in, Luo Tao picked up his chopsticks expressionlessly, picked up a piece of cabbage, and put it into his mouth. Mo Yan also sat down. It was hard to hide her emotions, but she was worried that Luo Tao would find out. She looked at the dry te of stir-fried vegetables on the table, forced a smile and said, ¡°There¡¯s only a little bit of vegetables at home. That¡¯s all I can do. Next time I go out, I¡¯ll buy some meat.¡± ¡°Okay, no worries.¡± Luo Tao nodded. There was no change in his expression. In fact, his doctor had already told him to focus on a light diet. Now, this was exactly what he wanted. ¡°Luo Tao, have you ever thought about raising some chickens and ducks at home¡­¡± Mo Yan bit on her chopsticks and said a little embarrassedly. Today, she carefully observed the surroundings of the brick house. There was only a small vegetable field with some vegetables that were easy to take care of. The surroundings were uncultivated wastnd with patches of thatch. She had heard rumors that Luo Tao stayed idle at home every day and did nothing, and that he had absolutely no source of ie. The only money he had might have been left behind by the elders of the Luo family. That was why she thought that since money was so tight, it would be better to live like a real rural household and raise some livestock so that they could eat meat. This way, they would at least not go hungry. Faced with Mo Yan¡¯s suggestion, Luo Tao was stunned, then he frowned. He did not take over Luo Tao¡¯s identity to be a rural farmer. This woman wanted to raise chickens and ducks because she was worried that there would be no meat to eat? Thinking of this, Luo Tao¡¯s face darkened. He put down the bowl and chopsticks with a cold face and asked, ¡°Do you need money?¡± Mo Yan did not expect that Luo Tao would be able to urately pinpoint her weakness every time he asked a question. Her breathing stopped for a moment before she remembered who she was supposed to be. In front of Luo Tao, she should act like her stepsister, Mo Lian. ¡°Of course not. I have money¡­¡± Mo Yan answered guiltily, her mind still thinking about the 500,000 yuan dowry that her father had promised. After all, Luo Tao did not know the situation she was in. The matter regarding her mother and brother had nothing to do with Luo Tao, so she could not cause him pressure with it. Swallowing a mouthful of rice, Mo Yan adjusted her state of mind and said again, ¡°If you don¡¯t like chickens and ducks, we don¡¯t have to raise them. I don¡¯t mean anything by it. I¡¯m just asking.¡± Seeing through Mo Yan¡¯s embarrassed look, Luo Tao sighed in his heart. Since she was not willing to take the initiative to ask him for help, then he had no right to interfere in her matters and expose her identity. He said lightly, ¡°If you want to raise them, do as you wish.¡± After getting Luo Tao¡¯s permission, Mo Yan heaved a sigh of relief. A smile that came from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face. She nodded solemnly and replied, ¡°Okay!¡± Luo Tao nced at her, got up, and left. Outside of the brick house, Luo Tao took out his cell phone and wrote a message to the number that had called earlier: The person who married into the Luo family is not Mo Lian. Find out who she is. At the bottom of the message, there was a photo attached. It was of Mo Yan cutting the vegetables in the small kitchen. The light from the sun shone on her face through the gaps in the thatched roof. The woman¡¯s skin was so white that it was almost translucent. Her expression was focused and her eyes were filled with gentleness and indifference. Her waterfall-like long hair was tied loosely behind her back, she looked like she had lived a peaceful life. At the time, Luo Tao was lifting weights in the small courtyard. When he saw this scene, he thought she looked extremely beautiful, so he casually took a picture. He did not expect that it woulde in handy at this moment. A reply came quickly saying that she was a woman called ¡°Mo Yan.¡±. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were as ck as ink. After quietly reading the message, he turned back to look at MoThis content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Yan, who was in the room. She squatted down as if she was fiddling with something. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Luo Tao walked behind her and asked. Mo Yan was holding a hammer to fix a table leg when she was suddenly shocked by Luo Tao. She was so shocked that the hammer in her hand was knocked askew. The crooked nail hit the thumb of her left hand, and bright red blood immediately gushed out. Mo Yan gasped in pain. Luo Tao just wanted to ask her what she was doing, he did not expect to scare Mo Yan into hurting herself. He immediately lowered his voice. ¡°Don¡¯t move..¡± Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. After saying that, Luo Tao quickly turned around and took out gauze and alcohol from the drawer of the cab. He strode over to Mo Yan and said, ¡°Give me your hand.¡± ¡°I just wanted to repair a table leg¡­¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice sounded aggrieved, and her eyes were misty. She obediently handed her injured left hand to Luo Tao. Watching Luo Tao skillfully and nimbly disinfect her wound, apply medicine, and bandage it, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but be a little dazed. Why did a rural hooligan¡¯s home have medicine and gauze? She didn¡¯t think that these would be used for normal emergencies. However, recalling that Luo Tao often exercised and boxed, she dispelled her doubts and silently watched Luo Tao treat her wound. ¡°If the table was broken, why didn¡¯t you look for me? You¡¯re a woman, you shouldn¡¯t do this kind of work.¡± Luo Tao frowned as he treated her. Looking at her pitiful expression, he could not help but me her. Although he was ming her, there was a clear trace of protection and concern from his words. Mo Yan felt it as well. Her heart moved, and she suddenly didn¡¯t feel any pain in her hand. She smiled and pointed at the wooden table with a missing leg and said, ¡°It¡¯s over there. I used to use a piece of wood to prop it up, but now it¡¯s broken again.¡± Luo Tao followed her line of sight and saw that there was indeed a crooked piece of wood supporting the leg of a table. That was why it didn¡¯t fall down. Picking up the hammer and nail, Luo Tao easily fixed the leg of the table. Seeing this, Mo Yan immediately praised in surprise, ¡°Wow, you¡¯re amazing, you fixed it in one go!¡± These words were indeed from the bottom of Mo Yan¡¯s heart. Earlier, she had spent a lot of effort thinking about how to fix the table. This was the first time that Luo Tao fixed something by himself. He looked at the fixed leg of the table in a daze, then looked at the surprised Mo Yan, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart. This was the first time that he had done something like this, and he felt aplished. In the face of Mo Yan¡¯s praise, Luo Tao did not respond. Instead, his face was a little tense. He strode out of the brick house. Looking at Luo Tao¡¯s somewhat awkward footsteps, Mo Yan could not help but let out a softugh. When Luo Tao heard the softughter behind him, his footsteps became even more chaotic. At night, Luo Tao took the remaining thin quilt from the cupboard and took the initiative toy on the ground. The soft and thick quilt was left for Mo Yan while he slept alone with the tattered bedsheets. Looking at Luo Tao¡¯s situation, Mo Yan felt bad. However, after much hesitation, she was still unable to say the words, ¡°Come and sleep on the bed.¡±. Through the thin wooden wall, Mo Yan could almost hear Luo Tao¡¯s movements as he flipped over. Her mind was full of thoughts. Luo Tao was right. She was still not used to the fact that she already had a husband. She was not used to Luo Tao¡¯s existence. It seemed that all of this would take time to get used to. As Mo Yan thought about it, she slowly fell asleep. The next day, Mo Yan woke up very early on purpose. The morning light was faint, and Luo Tao seemed to still be sleeping. Today was the third day since their wedding, and it was customary for the bride to return home. Mo Yan¡¯s father had also promised to give her a 500,000 yuan dowry on this day. The matter of her mother and brother could not wait any longer. She had to go to the Mo family to get the money as soon as possible. Mo Yan gently got off the bed, but to her surprise, the wooden bed creaked. Even though Mo Yan was very careful, it still let out a few dry creaks. Luo Tao, who wasying on the floor, suddenly sat up. A sharp gaze quickly shot over. Seeing that it was Mo Yan, Luo Tao¡¯s spirit was clearly much more rxed. Mo Yan opened her mouth slightly, a little surprised. Was Luo Tao always so cautious when he slept? His reaction and skills werepletely unlike that of an ordinary person. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Since he had already woken up, Luo Tao did not go back to sleep. He tidied up the bedding on the floor and asked casually, ¡°Why did you wake up so early?¡± Mo Yan came back to her senses and exined, ¡°ording to the custom, I have to go back to my mother¡¯s house today. I still have some matters to deal with.¡± Hearing this, Luo Tao recalled the custom procedures. The son-inw would visit his mother-inw¡¯s house, bringing pastries and gifts. Only after having lunch would he be able to go home. However, to the Mo family, he was just a pauper and a hooligan. There was no need for him to visit them. So, Luo Tao nodded and said lightly, ¡°I won¡¯t go over..¡± Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Upon hearing this, Mo Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Initially, she was worried that if she brought Luo Tao back to the Mo family, not only would she be exposed, but she would also be ridiculed. This made her feel much better. She cooked porridge and ate it with pickled vegetables before leaving. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s departing back, Luo Tao could not help but be reminded of the information his assistant had sent him yesterday. The information he received was that Mo Yan¡¯s parents were divorced, and her mother was seriously ill and needed medical attention. Her younger brother was in school, and Mo Yan was working outside to support the family. Mo Yan¡¯s stepmother, Meng Xian, and her stepsister, Mo Lian, had a very bad rtionship with Mo Yan. They often bullied and scolded Mo Yan, but Mo Yan¡¯s father didn¡¯t care about it and waspletely irresponsible. One could imagine how Mo Yan would be treated when she returned home this time. Luo Tao was a little worried. After much consideration, he sent a message to his assistant: Ask someone to follow her secretly. Let me know immediately if anything happens. After boarding the vige bus, Mo Yan arrived in the city. When she got off the bus, she saw an old woman who was crying. Her clothes were tattered and she looked extremely pitiful. In front of the old woman were tworge baskets. Inside the baskets, there were two nests of furry chicks and ducklings that were chirping. Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but go forward to ask, ¡°Madam, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you crying?¡± The old woman wiped her tears and said vaguely, ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll be able to sell all the chickens and ducks today. I¡¯ll get beaten up by the old man when I go back¡­¡± Mo Yan frowned and advised gently, ¡°You will be able to sell them out. There are so many people passing by. You¡¯ll sell them eventually.¡± The old woman shook her head and said with fear and despair, ¡°It¡¯s already the afternoon. No one will come here to buy chickens and ducks anymore¡­ I still have to catch the bus back to cook for the old man. What should I do¡­¡± Hearing that, Mo Yan looked at the two broods of chickens and ducks. When she saw the old woman crying while packing up her things, she gritted her teeth, stopped her, and said, ¡°Madam, don¡¯t be anxious! I¡¯ll buy your chickens and ducks.¡± Since she had wanted to raise some chickens and ducks since yesterday, it would be a good idea to buy some now and at the same time, help out the old woman. The unmarketable chickens and ducks were bought by Mo Yan. The old woman was very grateful and kept holding Mo Yan¡¯s hand to express her gratitude. Seeing that the old woman was about to cry from gratitude, Mo Yan quickly advised, ¡°You should go back quickly.¡± Before she left, the old woman saw that Mo Yan did not bring a cage, so she stuffed the chickens and ducks into a big bamboo basket and gave it to Mo Yan. When Mo Yan arrived at the Mo family home, looking at the bustling streets, the dazzling decorations, and the noble-dressed crowd, she thought that her living here previously felt like a lifetime ago. When she was young, she also had the kind of life where she did not have to worry about food and clothing. At that time, her mother had not yet been kicked out by her father. She was still the precious daughter of the Mo family. Every day, she practiced the piano, danced, and learned everything that a noble young lady should learn. However, one day, there was a misunderstanding between her mother and father. Not only did her beautiful lifee crashing down, but her stepmother also took over asdy of the house. She also brought along her stepsister, Mo Lian, who was a few years older than her. From then on, she was considered the illegitimate daughter of the Mo family who had to be hidden. Her mother was also seriously ill and had been receiving treatment in the hospital all year round. She had no choice but to stop her studies and work to support her mother and her young brother. It was not until she was forced to marry Luo Tao that her mother¡¯s illness worsened. Her younger brother also needed money for his tuition fees. Everything came down to her and she was overwhelmed. After taking a few deep breaths, Mo Yan rang the Mo family¡¯s doorbell. It was the nanny who opened the door. When the nanny saw that it was her, her expression immediately darkened. She wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°Second Miss, you are¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to look for my father. Is he home?¡± Mo Yan hurriedly replied. ¡°Uh¡­¡± the nanny turned around and was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by a voice behind her. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Who is it? Let her in,¡± a sharp female voice said. The nanny then moved aside and opened the door to let Mo Yan in. As soon as Mo Yan entered, she found his stepsister, Mo Lian, sitting on the sofa, looking at her calmly. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Oh, look who it is. The sister who¡¯s married to that poor guy. What happened to you?¡± Mo Lian raised her eyebrows and nced at her from head to toe, sneering with ill intentions. Mo Yan put down the bamboo basket and ignored her taunts.. She looked straight at her and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s father?¡± Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Tsk.¡± Mo Lian leaned back in disgust and waved her hand as if she was chasing away a beggar. ¡°Father will not see you. Don¡¯t disturb the peace in my house. Get lost!¡± Mo Yan clenched her fists and stared at her. She said word by word, ¡°Father promised to give me a dowry. I will take the dowry and leave.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Hearing this, Mo Lian scoffed. She flicked her carefully permed hair and crossed her legs. She narrowed her eyes and said, ¡°You¡¯re married to such a pauper and you still want a dowry? The audacity you have.¡± As she said this, Mo Lian pinched her nose and said in disdain, ¡°You¡¯re so poor and dirty, I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll dirty my house!¡± Being ridiculed by her stepsister, Mo Yan gritted her teeth and red at her. At this moment, the chickens and ducks in the bamboo basket began to chirp. Mo Lian stretched her head out to take a look, and immediatelyughed out loud. ¡°As expected of your husband who steals chickens and dogs and is a local ruffian and hoodlum. Are you already reduced to a situation where you have to raise chickens to live? How pitiful. Oh right, is my brother-inw unable to find a job after he got out of prison? How about this, I¡¯ll get father to find him a job as a garbage truck and street sweeper so that you won¡¯t have to work hard, alright?¡± ¡°If you think that that¡¯s a good job, then leave it for your future husband!¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were red with anger. She tightened her body and took a step forward. She said sternly, ¡°I¡¯m toozy to bicker with people like you. Since I got married in your ce, I only want to get the 500,000 yuan dowry that I was promised!¡± ¡°How dare you scold me!¡± Mo Lian¡¯s face suddenly changed. She red and reached out her hand to p Mo Yan. Mo Yan reacted quickly and grabbed her wrist that was raised high up. She tightened her grip and berated, ¡°Where is father? I want to see him!¡± At this moment, Mo Yan was only thinking about the 500,000 yuan that could be used to pay for her mother¡¯s surgery and save her life. All her dignity and rationality was thest things she cared about. Mo Yan, who did not care about anything else, frightened Mo Lian. Mo Lian was stunned for a while before she tried her best to shake off Mo Yan¡¯s grip. She panted and said, ¡°Father is not at home. I said he won¡¯t see you.¡± ¡°What?¡± Mo Yan frowned and looked at her in disbelief. Mo Lian quickly got up and was about to walk upstairs. As she walked, she said, ¡°Father doesn¡¯t care about you at all! He has already forgotten about you as his daughter. As for your dowry, it¡¯s gone!¡± ¡°Stop right there!¡± Mo Yan tugged at Mo Lian¡¯s clothes and questioned, ¡°What do you mean the dowry is gone?¡± Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s almost broken expression, Mo Lianughed out loud again. She looked at Mo Yan proudly and happily, and said viciously, ¡°Father never thought of giving you the dowry. He was just lying. From the beginning to the end, father only cared about me, his only daughter!¡± Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s face turn pale, Mo Lian added on, ¡°Father left yesterday to discuss business elsewhere. He doesn¡¯t want to see you and won¡¯t see you. Stop dreaming. Hurry up and sell your organs to raise money for your mother! Anyter and your mother is going to die!¡± With that, Mo Yan lost all hope. She staggered a few steps and looked helplessly at the luxurious floor of the Mo family house. Large drops of tears fell down. What should she do? What should she do? Without this 500,000 yuan, she would not be able to pay for her mother¡¯s medical fees, and her mother would not be able to get treated. Also, her younger brother would not be able to continue his studies. Where exactly could she get 500,000 yuan¡­ Mo Yan had already forgotten how she had walked out of the Mo family¡¯s house in a muddle-headed manner. The bamboo baskets containing the chickens and ducks were also thrown out, and the dozen or so little ones inside instantly lost their voices. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only She did not even dare to go to the hospital to visit her mother. She was afraid to see her mother¡¯s despairing and haggard eyes. She did not dare to say that she had been cheated by her stepmother and father into marrying someone else, and that she had lost the life-saving money that belonged to her. When she reached the bus stop aimlessly, she was blocked by a tall figure. She looked up and saw a man wearing a ck mask. His eyes were solemn and his brows were tightly knitted. It was Luo Tao. After receiving a message from his assistant, Luo Tao ignored his assistant¡¯s advice to not go as he could end up exposing his identity. He anxiously boarded the vige bus and arrived in the city. After picking Mo Yan up, Luo Tao did not ask any questions. He held the dispirited Mo Yan in his arms and boarded the bus back to the small vige together.. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When she saw the dpidated brick house once again, after stepping on the solidnd, Mo Yan felt that all her rationality return. Looking at Luo Tao¡¯s calm and collected gaze, Mo Yan really wanted to speak up, but in the end, she could only stammer, ¡°Today¡­ I was going home to ask for my dowry, but¡­¡± She really did not know how to exin this matter. It would show the difference between her and the Mo family¡¯s eldest daughter, Mo Lian, who was doted on by thousands of people. Luo Tao lowered his gaze and saw her furrowed brows. He said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t care. There¡¯s no need to tell me.¡± He wanted to know what had happened at the Mo family house today. However, there were many methods he could go about it. There was no need to embarrass Mo Yan. ¡°Alright.¡± Mo Yan replied softly. She gave Luo Tao, who had walked into the courtyard to practice his martial arts, a grateful look and bent down to put down the bamboo basket. When Mo Lian chased her out of the Mo family home, the bamboo basket was also heavily smashed to the ground. She was too sad at that time and had forgotten that there were still more than ten little guys in the bamboo basket. Mo Yan carefully opened the lid and looked inside anxiously. Fortunately, although more than half of the chickens and ducklings had been smashed to death, there were still two chickens and three ducks that were alive. Mo Yan gently picked up the little ones and gave them food and water in two small broken bowls. Then, she took the bamboo basket and went out again. She wanted to find a ce to bury these poor little animals. From the corner of his eye, Luo Tao caught a glimpse of Mo Yan walking towards the woods behind the house with the bamboo basket. Only then did he take out his cell phone from his pocket. The call went through very quickly. Luo Tao was expressionless. ¡°Fourth Master Huo, we¡¯ve found out the truth. The Mo family promised Madam a dowry of 500,000 yuan if she got married to Luo Tao. But today, they went back on their word and didn¡¯t give it to her. They even humiliated her. Madam¡¯s mother needs money for her medical fees, and her condition is so dire her surgery can¡¯t be dyed any longer.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Tao responded. His index finger slowly knocked on the wooden table, and he was silent for a while. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Even in such a situation, Mo Yan was unwilling to tell her husband the truth. Then, was there a need for him to intervene? After a pause, Luo Tao did not continue his instructions and hung up. After a while, Mo Yan returned with an empty bamboo basket. Standing outside the brick wall, she carefully wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve. The two of them ate in silence during their lunch. Mo Yan buried her head in her meal, her mind still thinking about her mother and brother in the hospital. She would probably not be able to get her 500,000 yuan dowry from the Mo family, so she had to find another way. Where could she get the money quickly? Mo Yan even wanted to take out a loan or sell her organs. However, the money would still take too long to reach her ount. Her mother could not afford to wait any longer. As she thought about this, she suddenly thought of the jade bracelet that Luo Tao gave her. She could not help but look at the dark red old wardrobe at the side. The bracelet that was worth at least a few hundred thousand yuan was quietly sitting in the drawer of the wardrobe at this moment. She was really desperate¡­ so she wanted to sell it first. Then, when she made money in the future, she would redeem it and return it to him. Mo Yan took a deep breath and finished the rice in her bowl. Then, she raised her head and said to Luo Tao innocently, ¡°Luo Tao, I still have to make a trip to the cityter.¡± Luo Tao saw the determination and nervousness in her eyes. He immediately understood what she wanted to do. The bracelet was originally given to her. So, it was her decision to use it to save her mother. Hence, Luo Tao nodded his head lightly. After eating, he even went out for a jog, leaving Mo Yan with a chance to make a move. After watching Luo Tao¡¯s figure run far away on the vige path, Mo Yan nervously clutched her chest and took out the small wooden box containing the jade bracelet from the drawer. With the bracelet, she entered the city without stopping. Mo Yan did not understand Jade and was afraid of being deceived by ck-hearted businessmen again. Therefore, she chose thergest jewelry store in the city, took a deep breath, and walked in. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Hello, I¡¯m here to sell Jade.¡± Mo Yan walked to the counter and gently ced the wooden box on the ss counter.

Under the bright lights of the jewelry store, the bracelet lying in the wooden box looked especially pure and eye-catching. ¡°This bracelet is too expensive. I¡¯ll have to call our boss to have a look. Please wait a moment.¡± Thedy in the counter looked at the bracelet again and then hurriedly went to look for her boss.. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Yan stood in front of the glittering counter in a daze for a while. Then, she saw a young man who was about 25 years old and looked very respectable walking towards her. As he walked over, the young man smiled and greeted her, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the owner of this shop. I am Mr. Qin.¡± The owner of thergest jewelry shop in the city was actually so young? She thought that he would be older. She paused for a moment and replied with a smile, ¡°Hello, Mr. Qin.¡± The young boss walked over quickly and took the silk gloves handed over to him by thedy at the counter. He put them on quickly and carefully picked up the Jade bracelet in the box, looking at it carefully under the light. Qin Yuan flipped the Jade bracelet and turned it around. In an extremely hidden ce on the inside, he indeed found a signature unique to the Qin family. His eyes immediately darkened. Usually, he would not involve himself in the business of pawning jade. A mere few hundred thousand was nothing to him. However, the sharp-eyeddy at the counter today recognized at a nce that the craftsmanship of this Jade bracelet was that of the style of the Qin family. Moreover, the color was very simr to the one that had recently been given away to a distinguished guest. That was why she had specially invited him over to confirm that it was the same Jade bracelet. Qin Yuan easily recognized this Jade bracelet. Just a few days ago, it was he who had picked out this unique Jade bracelet that was not too expensive but still obviously had a high value. He gave it to his good friend, Huo Zhen. He did not expect that this jade bracelet would be sent back to him a few dayster and pawned. ¡°This bracelet is notmon. I quite like it. May I ask, where did you get it from?¡± Qin Yuan held the bracelet and seemed to be unable to put it down. He raised his head and asked. ¡°Uh, it¡¯s passed down from my husband¡¯s family.¡± Mo Yan answered with a little guilt. When Luo Tao gave her the bracelet, he did not tell her the origin of the bracelet, so she could only make wild guesses. Husband? Could it be that the woman in front of him was his good friend Huo Zhen¡¯s new wife? Raising his eyebrows, Qin Yuan continued to smile without batting an eyelid, ¡°Yes, the quality of your bracelet is excellent. May I know how much you would like for it?¡± He didn¡¯t expect Luo Tao¡¯s bracelet to gain the high recognition of the boss of the jewelry store. Mo Yan was stunned and thought of her mother in the hospital bed as she gritted her teeth. Could this bracelet be worth 500,000 yuan to pay for her mother¡¯s medical fees? ¡°I¡­ It¡¯s hard to say. Mr. Qin, how much would you give me for it?¡± Mo Yan tightly squeezed her sleeve, feeling uneasy. Sighing in his heart, Qin Yuan put down the bracelet, stretched out his two index fingers, and crossed them to make a figure. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Since Huo Zhen¡¯s wife had chosen to sell the bracelet given by her husband, he might as well take advantage of the situation to do Huo Zhen a favor and help him see her true colors. ¡°100,000 yuan?¡± Mo Yan looked at Qin Yuan¡¯s gesture and was a little absent-minded. ¡°No.¡± Qin Yuan shook his head, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face as he said, ¡°One million yuan.¡± This bracelet was actually so expensive that it was worth one million? Mo Yan was so shocked that she took a step back. She knew that this bracelet given to her by Luo Tao was valuable, but she did not expect it to be worth this much. That would mean that the bracelet definitely had extraordinary significance to Luo Tao who was as poor as a pauper! ¡°What? Miss, do you think it¡¯s too little?¡± Qin Yuan looked at Mo Yan¡¯s shocked expression and could not help but have a disgusted look on his face. He had already offered a high price of one million, yet this woman was still not satisfied and wanted more money. She was really too arrogant and vain! ¡°No, no.¡± Mo Yan quickly shook her head. Her chest rose and fell, and she bit her lips. Since Luo Tao had given her the most precious thing in his family, then she definitely could not betray his trust and pawn it. ¡°I sincerely want this bracelet. How about this, 1.5 million yuan.¡± Qin Yuan rested his hands on the counter and looked at Mo Yan. As soon as the deal was done, he was going to call Huo Zhen immediately and ask him to kick this greedy woman out of his life! ¡°No, I¡¯m not selling it anymore. Sorry.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes became firm. She took a step forward and quickly put away the wooden box. Then, she nced at Qin Yuan again and left quickly.

So, Qin Yuan liked to call him Little four. Luo Tao coughed lightly. ¡°Qin Yuan, don¡¯t call me Little Four. If you have something to say, say it quickly.¡± ¡°Okay, okay.

Sigh, how are you doing? Your wife has no money and now she has to sell jewelry. It¡¯s really sad.¡± ¡°Get to the point, how much did she sell it for?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were dark. ¡°Huo Zhen, don¡¯t you have anything to say?¡± Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and deliberately provoked him, ¡°That¡¯s the Jade bracelet you gave her as a marriage present! She wants to secretly sell it for money. Aren¡¯t you angry?¡± Luo Tao said coldly, ¡°Since I¡¯ve already given it to her, it¡¯s her¡¯s. What does it have to do with me if she sells it?¡± On the other end of the phone, Qin Yuan took off the silk gloves. He could almost imagine Huo Zhen¡¯s ice-cold face at this moment. He said with mixed feelings, ¡°I bid 1.5 million yuan at the end. How¡¯s that? Does that show my loyalty to you?¡± 1.5 million yuan? Wouldn¡¯t that be enough to treat Mo Yan¡¯s mother¡¯s illness? There would still be some money left! Luo Tao gripped the phone tightly, his chin taut. Immediately after, Qin Yuan¡¯s tone changed. The corners of his mouth curled up and he raised his voice, ¡°Fourth Master Huo, guess what? She refused to sell it and took the bracelet back!¡± Seeing that Huo Zhen didn¡¯t say anything, Qin Yuan continued to speak, ¡°Huo Zhen, oh Huo Zhen, I think your wife is quite interesting. I thought she needed money, so I specially wanted to buy the Jade bracelet for a high price, 1.5 million yuan. She was shocked by the amount of money, but I didn¡¯t expect her to not sell it!¡± On the other end of the phone, Qin Yuan was still chattering. Luo Tao¡¯s emotions were unusually complicated at the moment. He did not expect that Mo Yan would actually give up the 1.5 million yuan that was within her grasp and choose to keep the bracelet that he gave her. Such innocence and sincerity¡­ What about her dying mother¡¯s medical fees and her younger brother¡¯s tuition fees? He should be going to school at his age. Thinking of this, Luo Tao pitied Mo Yan. She clearly had many difficulties and grievances, yet she was still shouldering it all by herself. She was really stupid¡­ and heartbreaking at the same time! Luo Tao stretched his muscles, and he became determined. Since his wife had secretly given up so much for him, then he should also do something that a husband should do! First, he had to teach those traitorous and heartless members of the Mo family a good lesson! ¡°Qin Yuan, listen up. These few days, the Mo family will be busy buyingnd. Help me stop them, don¡¯t let them seed!¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice sank and he added, ¡°Also, I will use your name to try to target Mo family¡¯s business everywhere and ruin their lives!¡± ¡°Alright! This is an easy task for me, Huo Zhen. You can rest assured! I will definitelyplete this task well!¡± Qin Yuan smiled and patted his chest proudly. ¡°Wait, I have another task for you¡­¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice slowed down, and his expression showed a rare gentleness, he said, ¡°Her mother and brother are currently in the hospital. I have to pretend I don¡¯t know right now. Please take good care of them for me.¡± Not long after hanging up the phone, Mo Yan returned to the brick house and met up with Luo Tao, who was doing push-ups in the yard. Mo Yan looked embarrassed and wanted to cover the wooden box in her hand with her body, but she found that Luo Tao only nced at her indifferently and then continued to bury himself in his workout. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Relieved, a faint smile appeared on Mo Yan¡¯s face. She entered the house and put away the Jade bracelet, then walked out and squatted beside Luo Tao, who was doing push-ups. She asked gently, ¡°I went into the city to buy some cooking ingredients. What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll make it for you.¡± Luo Tao paused for a moment, then turned to look at her. He noticed that Mo Yan was looking at him with a gentle expression. He could not help but feel his heart skip a beat. A strange, slightly palpitating feeling came over him again, and he immediately said stiffly, ¡°Anything is fine.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Mo Yan rubbed her chin and frowned for a moment. It seemed that Luo Tao did not mind eating anything. He had always been very easy-going. She could only take the initiative to ask him more. ¡°Then, gong bao chicken or braised pork ribs, you choose one.¡± Mo Yan asked persistently. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Luo Tao lowered his eyes and thought seriously. Then he nodded and said, ¡°Then, braised pork ribs..¡± Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to go cook now.¡± Mo Yan secretly noted down Luo Tao¡¯s preferences. She put on an apron and went to cook. When Luo Tao was drenched in sweat from his exercise, an alluring fragrance wafted over and immediately aroused Luo Tao¡¯s appetite. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Ever since his ident, in order to take care of his body, he had always followed his doctor¡¯s advice and ate lightly. He had not eaten such good food for a really long time. ¡°Go wash your hands ande eat.¡± Mo Yan smiled gently as she called out to Luo Tao. On the way back, she had already thought it through. Her mother needed 500,000 yuan for her surgery. Part of it could be borrowed from her old friends, and she could get the remaining by selling one of her kidneys. Since she had made up her mind, Mo Yan finally felt rxed. She would work hard to earn money to pay off her debts to her friends, and even if she had to lose a kidney, she could still live. The most important thing would be to cherish every day of her life. Tomorrow, she would set off to the city to enquire about selling her kidney for money. Seeing that Mo Yan¡¯s brows were no longer furrowed, Luo Tao was in a good mood. When the dishes were served on the table, he could not wait to pick up a piece of rib and take a bite. ¡°The dishes you cook are very delicious. Did you start learning to cook when you were young?¡± Luo Tao asked casually. ¡°Yes, I have helped my mother cook since I was young¡­¡± Mo Yan was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be Mo Lian. She quickly changed her words and said, ¡°I learned it from the nanny at home.¡± Luo Tao did not care about Mo Yan¡¯s change of words. He was focused on eating. Seeing that he had a good appetite, Mo Yan smiled and said, ¡°If you like to eat this, eat more. I¡¯ll make more for you in the future.¡± After pausing for a moment, Luo Tao could not help but look at her. His heart was warm. There was a lot of significance behind the phrase ¡°I¡¯ll make more for you in the future.¡±What touched him the most was that Mo Yan subconsciously believed that she would always be with her husband, Luo Tao, and never leave him. Thinking of this, Luo Tao picked up another piece of braised pork ribs and answered briefly, ¡°Yes.¡± After eating, Mo Yan was about to clean up when she saw Luo Tao stand up and stop her, ¡°You¡¯ve been on the run all day today. Rest for a while, I¡¯ll do it.¡± Mo Yan blushed and obediently agreed, ¡°Okay.¡± After Luo Tao finished washing the dishes and pots, cleaned up the kitchen, and returned to the brick house, he found that Mo Yan had already taken a shower. At this moment, she was wearing a cream- colored cotton nightgown and sitting by the bed, drying her hair with a towel. There was no hair dryer here. As a man with short hair, Luo Tao had never considered this problem at all. His eyes darkened. Luo Tao strode over and snatched the towel from her hand, saying in a low voice, ¡°Let me do it.¡± Luo Tao imitated Mo Yan¡¯s behavior, taking the towel and rubbing her hair. Luo Tao¡¯s nose was filled with Mo Yan¡¯s fragrant scent. Mo Yan could actually lead such an interesting life in such a simple environment. Even this brick house became bright and warm ever since her arrival. Luo Tao¡¯s thoughts ran wild and his mind wandered. Even his movements stopped. Mo Yan turned her head and looked curiously at what he was doing, but he did not notice. ¡°Luo Tao, what are you thinking about?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s small face was flushed red. She waved her hand in front of him in embarrassment. Only then did Luo Tao see that her fair forearms were exposed, and her petal-shaped sleeves had already slid down to her joints. Looking down, her tight and smooth calves were also exposed, swaying gently. ¡°Thinking¡­ about you.¡± Luo Tao answered truthfully. His voice was a little hoarse. Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s flustered and shy eyes once again, Luo Tao reached out with his big hand and pulled her into his embrace. Touching Luo Tao¡¯s firm upper body and feeling his burning hot breath, Mo Yan¡¯s body instantly froze. She held onto his chest helplessly. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only This action was no different from a warm invitation in Luo Tao¡¯s eyes. In an instant, his eyes were filled with a man¡¯s primitive desire for a woman. ¡°You¡¯re very beautiful¡­¡± Luo Tao said hoarsely. He pressed her under his body and his big hand quietly touched the hem of her skirt. Mo Yan did not resist. She closed her eyes tightly and obediently epted every move of his. However, her trembling body still revealed her fear and nervousness. This was the first time she had gotten along with a man like this. Luo Tao¡¯s movements paused. Looking at her nervous appearance, a feeling of love and tenderness suddenly surged in his heart.. Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio He shouldn¡¯t get intimate with her at a time like this. She wasn¡¯tpletely used to him yet. It was better to wait until both parties were fullymitted to it. The sexual desire in Luo Tao¡¯s eyes instantly faded away. He released his hand and tidied up Mo Yan¡¯s messy nightdress. Then, he gently touched her cheek and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°You must be tired today. Have a good rest.¡± After saying that, Luo Tao got up from the bed and walked outside. Mo Yan was stunned. She felt the temperature drop in the air, and her mind was in a mess. She really couldn¡¯t tell how she felt about Luo Tao. He was her husband, and she was willing to do whatever he wanted her to do. However, technically they had only met a few days ago. Moreover, Luo Tao didn¡¯t know that she actually her stepsister, Mo Lian. This secret was stuck in her heart, causing her to always subconsciously put a barrier between herself and Luo Tao. This feeling of being a liar was not pleasant. She had wanted to confess to Luo Tao many times, but she had hesitated. If Luo Tao were to find out about the Mo family¡¯s lies, he might fly into a rage. He might cause trouble with the Mo family or even beat her up. Therefore, she ultimately chose to keep the secret to herself. Early the next morning, Mo Yan was about to leave for the city when she received a call. Seeing that the number on the phone was her brother, Mo Yan took a deep breath and did not dare to answer the call. She was very afraid. If her brother was calling to tell her that her mother¡¯s condition had worsened and that she needed to undergo surgery immediately, what could she do? ¡°Wait a little longer, wait a little longer. I¡¯ll get the money soon¡­¡± Mo Yan prayed softly and sighed. In the end, she picked up the phone. ¡°Sister! We¡¯re saved!¡± Her brother shouted happily on the other end of the phone. ¡°What?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s pupils constricted when she heard that. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°The Mo family not only helped mother pay for her medical fees, they even transferred her to a special ward. My tuition fees have also been paid. The doctor said that mother will undergo surgery tomorrow!¡± Her younger brother said happily and then added gratefully, ¡°Sister, you¡¯re really amazing!¡± The Mo family actually had a conscience and was willing to save her mother? Hearing all this, she was stunned. ¡°Really?¡± Mo Yan could not believe it and could not help but ask. ¡°Really, really! I watched them pay the money!¡± ¡°Mom is really saved?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were a little wet as she sobbed. ¡°Absolutely! Sister, don¡¯t worry! Alright, I¡¯m going to school. Talk to you again soon. Bye bye.¡± Her younger brother hung up the phone. Listening to the ¡°Beep, beep, beep¡± soundsing from her phone, Mo Yan still could not believe it, and couldn¡¯t help but pinch herself. Mo Yan broke out into a smile. This meant that she did not have to take out a loan or sell her kidney. The heavy weights on her shoulders suddenly lightened. Mo Yan could not help but reveal a sincere smile on her face. When she went out and saw Luo Taoing back from his morning run, Mo Yan even greeted him with a smile on her face, ¡°Luo Tao, Good morning!¡± Following that, Mo Yan hummed a song and went to wash the clothes. Sensing Mo Yan¡¯s happy mood, the corners of Luo Tao¡¯s lips curled up. He was also in a good mood and sent a message to Qin Yuan, ¡°Well done, I owe you a favor.¡± Qin yuan quickly replied, ¡°I¡¯m really honored to be able to receive a favor from you. How about this, I¡¯ve been eyeing your global limited edition sports car for a long time. When you return to the Huo family, how about you give me a ride?¡± The dignified Fourth Master Huo was in a good mood. He immediately waved his hand and said: My people are still there. When you¡¯re free, just go and get it. When she came back with a bucket of clean clothes, Mo Yan¡¯s sharp eyes noticed that Luo Tao was seriously looking at something in the room. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only A well-known local hooligan who actually knew how to read? Mo Yan was impressed. Walking over quietly, Mo Yan stuck her head out and found that Luo Tao was actually reading an English report. His finger would swipe down the screen of his phone from time to time. Having long noticed that Mo Yan was peeping from behind, Luo Tao did not even turn his head back and asked indifferently, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± I should be the one asking you this! Mo Yan cursed in her heart and said with an embarrassed expression, ¡°You can read English?¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Do you think I can¡¯t?¡± Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Uh¡­¡± Mo Yan choked on his question. She didn¡¯t want to hurt his self esteem, so she quickly replied, ¡°Of course not.¡± Only then did Luo Tao turn his head in satisfaction and continue to look at his phone seriously. Mo Yan roughly nced at what Luo Tao was looking at. It was a business news report from an external network. After hesitating for a while, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Luo Tao, what are you looking at? Tell me about it.¡± To be honest, she still didn¡¯t believe that the well-known local hooligan in the vige, Luo Tao, could understand the English news report from the Inte. ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Luo Tao coughed lightly and then read theplete trantion of the original report. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s wide-opened eyes, Luo Hui couldn¡¯t help but chuckle, ¡°Very surprised?¡± Hisughter was very pleasant to hear. Mo Yan nodded nkly and said honestly, ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried that I¡¯m just making it up?¡± Luo Tao returned to his expressionless face after a moment and said lightly. ¡°No, I¡¯ve checked. You¡¯re right!¡± Mo Yan quickly waved her hand. Being stared at by Luo Tao¡¯s inquisitive gaze, she touched her nose in embarrassment. Being seen through by him on the spot when she wanted to test him was too embarrassing. As she spoke, Mo Yan hurriedly walked into the bedroom. Just then, her phone rang, giving her an excuse to ease the awkward atmosphere. ¡°Take your time. I¡¯m going in first.¡± When she picked up her phone and saw the caller ID, her expression changed. It was actually her stepsister, Mo Lian, calling. What did she want? Mo Yan had nothing to say to Mo Lian. Ever since she was humiliated during herst visit to the Mo family house, she had be even more disgusted with her stepsister. However, when she thought about how the Mo family had just helped pay for her mother¡¯s medical expenses, she gritted her teeth and picked up the call Unexpectedly, the moment she picked up the call, Mo Lian¡¯s sharp curses could be heard. ¡°Mo Yan, you scheming, shameless bitch!¡± Mo Yan was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered the volume of her phone. Then, she quickly stuck her head out to take a look outside. Luo Tao was sitting upright and focused on his phone. He did not seem to be disturbed. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. Mo Yan put her phone close to her ear, Mo Lian was still scolding her, ¡°You hooked up with the young master of the Qin family? How dare you lie to him and ask him to threaten our family! I should have known that you are the same kind of person as your mother! Both of you arescivious women!¡± Mo Yan frowned and lowered her voice, ¡°Mo Lian, what are you going crazy about?¡± ¡°Ha, I¡¯m crazy? Look at what you¡¯ve done! Didn¡¯t you ask Qin Yuan to stop father¡¯snd purchase just to force father to give you a dowry? Now, we have lost at least 30 million yuan just to purchase thend! And we have no choice but to follow Qin Yuan¡¯s instructions to save your mother. What right do you have? You¡¯re a piece of trash who married a pauper. Who are you to gain Qin Yuan¡¯s favor!¡± ¡°Mo Lian, what are you talking about. I don¡¯t know anything about thend purchase or the Qin family.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were cold as she spoke word by word. ¡°Why are still pretending? Do you think that I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re nning? Aren¡¯t you trying to get in the Qin family¡¯s good graces so you can leave that pauper? Let me tell you, a person like you will never marry into the Qin family! You¡¯d better stay in the small mountain vige with that ruffian, Luo Tao, for the rest of your life¡­¡± Mo Yan couldn¡¯t stand listening to Mo Lian¡¯s incoherent screams and curses, so she just hung up the phone. When she walked out of the bedroom, Mo Yan¡¯s face was darkened, while Luo Tao was still quietly browsing the news and reports on his phone without raising his head. Mo Yan said softly, ¡°I¡¯m going out to get some fresh air.¡± Then, she opened the door and walked out. She walked aimlessly all the way to the river where she usually washed their clothes. There, she sat down on a big rock. At this moment, the warm sunlight shone on her body, but she only felt a chill all over her body. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

The woman¡¯s voice was hoarse, and she immediately started cursing like a demon, ¡°Mo Yan, you scheming, shameless bitch¡­¡± Luo Tao¡¯s face darkened when he heard Mo Lian insult Mo Yan and Qin Yuan as a couple. How did that idiot manage to make the Mo family misunderstand him like this? ¡°Hello? Forth Master Huo, did you call me topliment me?¡± Qin Yuan boasted proudly as soon as he picked up the phone. ¡°Compliment you? You did a great job, that¡¯s great!¡± Luo Tao said through gritted teeth. His entire body exuded a cold and murderous aura. Qin Yuan and Huo Zhen had known each other for many years, so he naturally understood what his tone represented. He was instantly scared out of his wits and was in a hurry to hang up the phone. ¡°Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, I¡¯ll hang up first¡­¡± ¡°Qin Yuan, what did you do?¡± Luo Tao squeezed out these words from between his teeth. His tone was cold, as if he was saying, ¡°If you dare to hang up the phone, I¡¯ll rush to the capital and kill you.¡±. ¡°Uh, I first took theirnd, and I even thought of a way to get hold of their weaknesses.

I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s legs went weak as he apologized profusely. Then, he took advantage of Luo Tao¡¯s moment of silence to hang up the phone. If Huo Zhen continued to scold him, he would probably have been scared to death. Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, Qin Yuan received a message from Huo Zhen. There was also a recording attached to it. Huo Zhen: I will deal with youter. He opened the recording.

At the same time, on the hillside of the small mountain vige, a few hooligans with dyed red and yellow hair were lying down to bask in the Sun. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed hooligan caught a glimpse of Mo Yan sitting by the small river not far away. He hurriedly pushed the person next to him and shouted, ¡°Look! There¡¯s a beautiful woman over there!¡± The hooligan beside him narrowed his eyes and looked for a while. He rubbed his chin and thought, ¡°She looks pretty, but why haven¡¯t I seen her before? Whose daughter-inw is this?¡± ¡°I remember now! Isn¡¯t she the new wife of that good-for-nothing Luo Tao? She¡¯s so pretty!¡± A hooligan shouted. ¡°Ah!

Let¡¯s all get back at her¡­¡± Mo Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she walked out of the sight of the hooligans. She put down her hands that were covering her ears tightly. It was not until today that Mo Yan saw how real hooligans acted. Mo Yan thought that Luo Tao¡¯s personality was too serious and elegant for him to be a hooligan. Compared to these hooligans, he was so different. As for the people who talked about how he was a bastard, how rotten he was, and how he was a hooligan, in her opinion, it waspletely nonsense! Thinking of this, Mo Yan hurried home. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a hunchbacked figure. She stopped in her tracks and hurriedly went forward to help her. ¡°Granny Liu, why didn¡¯t you bring your crutches out!¡± At this moment, Mo Yan was supporting Granny Liu. She was an olddy who lived not far from the brick-and-tile house of the Luo family. Her daughter worked in the city, and would only bring her child back to visit Granny Liu once a year during New Year¡¯s. Granny Liu¡¯s legs were weak. However, most of the time, she was alone at home. Once, Mo Yan went out to look for a small river to wash her clothes but could not find any rivers around. It was the warm-hearted Granny Liu who showed her the way.

Sigh, my old bones.¡± Granny Liu¡¯s eyes weren¡¯t very good either, but she still looked at Mo Yan with her cloudy eyes and said with a smile. ¡°Your body is still strong. You can try to walk more. It¡¯s good for your body. Just remember to bring your walking stick next time.¡± Mo Yan also said gently, helping Granny Liu all the way to the door of her house. ¡°Granny Liu, I¡¯m going back to cook. Come to my house next time you¡¯re free!¡± Mo Yan waved goodbye to Granny Liu with a smile. Granny Liu sat at the threshold, smiling kindly and waving to her.

When you talk to my wife, it¡¯s best to show a little respect.¡± Luo Tao said coldly. Mo Lian on the other end of the phone finally reacted. The person who called seemed to be Mo Yan¡¯s poor husband, Luo Tao. It seemed like Luo Tao was calling her to scold her for bullying Mo Yan. Thinking of this, she sneered disdainfully, ¡°Luo Tao? Who do you think you are? A hooligan, a pauper? Hahahaha¡­ Do you know that the Mo family can easily crush a little bug like you?¡± Luo Tao did not care about her insult. Instead, he said harshly, ¡°If I hear such indecent words a second time, you will definitely regret it!¡± His voice was ruthless and full of confidence. When Mo Lian heard him, she shuddered. She was speechless for a while before she realized that Luo Tao had already hung up the phone. The moment Mo Yan returned home, she washed her hands and asked, ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡± She looked as if nothing had happened.

Running in the morning and at night were habits that Luo Tao had developed since he came here. Although the workout facilities in the countryside weren¡¯t the best, it had fresh air, so it was very comfortable to run. Mo Yan already knew of his habits.

Then, she heard a rat-likeughtering from behind her. She quickly turned her head to look. It was actually a few hooligans who were leaning against the wall to peek at her.

Let¡¯s get her!¡± While making a racket, the hooligans who were leaning against the wall to peek at her were about to jump into the courtyard. Mo Yan was so frightened that she retreated to the entrance of the small kitchen. As she retreated, she shouted, ¡°Who are you people! Get out!¡± The leader of the hooligans, who was missing a tooth, jumped down first. With a very wretched smile, he said, ¡°Wife, don¡¯t you remember us? We even went on a date by the river today.¡± These guys were the hooligans who were teasing her by the river! Mo Yan¡¯s expression changed.

Don¡¯t you know how to give your big brothers some wedding candies?¡± ¡°Yes, yes. We haven¡¯t eaten your wedding candies yet,¡± another gangster echoed. Mo Yan¡¯s entire body tensed up. She ced her hand holding the kitchen knife behind her back and tried her best to remain calm. ¡°I¡¯ll give you the wedding candies when I buy them tomorrow. Hurry up and leave.¡± ¡°Hahahahahaha.¡± Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s appearance, the gangsters burst intoughter again. A gangster with a cigarette in his mouth deliberately said, ¡°Wedding candies don¡¯t taste as sweet as you. Aren¡¯t you here now? Let us have a good taste.¡± Faced with such obscene words, Mo Yan¡¯s face turned cold and she berated, ¡°My husband will be back soon! When hees back, you guys will¡­¡± Before she could finish her words, Mo Yan took advantage of the few hooligans¡¯ck of attention and ran desperately towards the entrance of the courtyard. If she could find other vigers to help her, these shameless hooligans would not dare to do anything! ¡°Aiyo! Don¡¯t run!¡± Unexpectedly, just as Mo Yan ran to the entrance of the courtyard, she was blocked by a fatty. The fatty smiled evilly as he licked his lips, his gaze sizing up Mo Yan¡¯s chest and buttocks. ¡°Fatty, good job. We almost let this little girl run away,¡± the hooligan who had lost his teeth shouted from behind. ¡°Get lost!¡± Mo Yan waved the knife in her hand and shed viciously at the fatty who was blocking the courtyard door. ¡°Damn it!¡± The fatty subconsciously took a step back and used his hand to block it. However, he was still cut by the kitchen knife and arge amount of blood immediately spurted out. Seeing the blood, the other gangsters¡¯s miles also stopped. The leader of the gangsters spat and blocked Mo Yan¡¯s way. He said fiercely, ¡°Damned women, always so hard to deal with.¡± On the other side. Luo Tao was jogging along the vige path. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Luo Tao suddenly heard a very familiar voice. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Luo Tao! Luo Tao!¡± Luo Tao turned his head and saw a young man wearing sses running toward him while panting. He recognized him and greeted him, ¡°Cheng Xiao, it¡¯s you.¡± Cheng Xiao was the only medical student in the vige. Luo Tao was really grateful yet detestable towards him. After he came to the vige as Luo Tao, a pauper who looked very much like him, Cheng Xiao heard that he was injured and rushed over to help him. During the few months when he was seriously injured and unable to get out of bed, Cheng Xiao helped him change his dressing, he took good care of him. However, there was a problem with Cheng Xiao, which was that he loved to gossip.. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Just a week after Cheng Xiao entered the city, he told everyone about the engagement between the Luo family and the Mo family. It caused a storm in the city and made both families embarrassed. The Mo family was worried that breaking the engagement made by the older generation would damage their business image and reputation. So, they deceived Mo Yan to marry into the Luo family instead. All the members of the Luo family had died, so Huo Zhen had no choice but to take Luo Tao¡¯s ce. Fortunately, by ident, Mo Yan, who had married him, had an excellent personality, character, and appearance. Luo Tao was very satisfied, so he couldn¡¯t me Cheng Xiao. ¡°I heard that you married the daughter of the Mo family a few days ago. How is she?¡±Cheng Xiao pushed his sses up, put his arm around Luo Tao¡¯s shoulder, and said. ¡°Pretty good. How about you? Did you manage to find a job in the city?¡± Luo Tao answered as he walked slowly with him. ¡°Sigh!¡± Cheng Xiao sighed heavily and said as if he had epted his fate, ¡°I¡¯m a medical student, but in the end, my family told me to work in sales. They said that I would make a lot of money. I¡¯ve no choice but to do as they say.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Luo Tao nodded in understanding. ¡°Luo Tao! Something happened, something happened!¡± While the two were chatting, they suddenly heard an old woman shouting on the ridge of the field not far away. They were both stunned. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Tao frowned and felt a little uneasy. ¡°Go home quickly! Go home quickly! Your wife is being pestered by a group of hooligans!¡± Granny Liu limped over with all her might. Because she was too nervous, her voice was trembling. ¡°What?¡± Luo Tao was shocked. He felt a burst of adrenaline. He immediately raised his feet and ran home. At this moment, Mo Yan was surrounded by the group of hooligans with wretched expressions. Her entire body was trembling. She raised her knife and gritted her teeth, ¡°If you dare to make a move, when my husbandes back, he will definitely kill all of you!¡± ¡°Kill us? hahahahaha!¡± As if they had heard a joke, the hooligans startedughing. ¡°That trash Luo Tao? He wouldn¡¯t even be able to touch a single hair on our heads!¡± ¡°Two years ago, the few of us even beat him until he cried. Your husband was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy from us!¡± ¡°Luo Tao, that good-for-nothing. Whenever something happens, his legs go soft. When hees back, he¡¯ll be scared and just run away, right?¡± The hooligans did not care about Mo Yan¡¯s warning at all. They even surrounded her and mocked her like a cat teasing a mouse. As theyughed, one of the hooligans changed his tone. Drooling, he looked at Mo Yan¡¯s exposed snow- white neck and said, ¡°As expected of the eldest daughter of the Mo family. Her figure and appearance are all top-notch. I wonder how did that trash Luo Tao get so lucky to be able to have such a good woman to sleep with!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Mo Yan was so angry that she pointed her knife at him. ¡°Yo, you¡¯re getting anxious. Why? Do you like that trash Luo Tao and not your brothers?¡± ¡°You guys are nothingpared to my husband!¡± Mo Yan said as she spat on his face. Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred. ¡°You¡¯re just a pair of used shoes. Who do you think you are? Brothers, fuck her!¡± The hooligan wiped the saliva off his face and shouted. ¡°Today, I¡¯ll let you see what a man looks like! Later, you¡¯ll definitely be fucked until you beg for mercy from us!¡± With that, the hooligans swarmed forward. Mo Yan¡¯s eyes turned red as she held the kitchen knife and shed at the hooligan closest to her. After cutting another hooligan, Mo Yan¡¯s right hand that was holding the knife was suddenly grabbed by a hooligan. In an instant, the kitchen knife was snatched away by him. Seeing this, the hooligan shouted, ¡°She doesn¡¯t have a knife anymore. Brothers, attack!¡± The anger and fear of being humiliated caused Mo Yan to shed tears. She struggled to break free from the restraints on her wrist and wanted to run to the door to fight for onest chance. ¡°Grab her!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Suddenly, the fatty who was blocking the door flew to the ground. Luo Tao¡¯s figure appeared from outside the courtyard. His face was ruthless and his eyes were resolute. Mo Yan¡¯s face was already covered in tears. She quickly ran to Luo Tao¡¯s side but was unexpectedly pulled into his embrace. After confirming that Mo Yan was not injured, Luo Tao heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he raised his head and swept his gaze across the few hooligans present. ¡°Luo Tao? You want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress?¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. The leader of the hooligans looked very displeased. He picked up a brick from the ground and strode over. ¡°Apologize to me now, and leave your wife behind. I can still spare your life..¡± Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Before the hooligan could finish his words, Luo Tao moved Mo Yan behind him. He took a step forward and kicked the leader¡¯s chest. With another ¡°Bang¡±, the hooligan mmed into his small group of followers behind him. He grabbed his chest, unable to speak. ¡°Wait for me at the door, I¡¯ll be quick.¡± Luo Tao turned around and rubbed Mo Yan¡¯s face with a loving look. When he turned around again, Luo Tao raised his fist and stared at the hooligans as if they were already dead to him. Before Mo Yan could react, Luo Tao had already made his move. Like a bullet, he rushed into the crowd. In the blink of an eye, the few hooligans who were standing up, all fell to the ground in pain and began to wail. Thinking of the humiliation that these hooligans had caused Mo Yan, Luo Tao was still not satisfied. He raised his leg and gave them a few vicious kicks. The hooligans¡¯ heads were bleeding, and they did not even have the strength to cry. Seeing that Luo Tao still wanted to continue, Mo Yan nervously said, ¡°Luo Tao!¡± Luo Tao wiped off the blood on his hands and looked up at the tearful Mo Yan. ¡°Don¡¯t beat them to death¡­ you will go to jail.¡± Mo Yan pursed her lips and advised. ¡°If you dare toe find trouble with my wife again, you are dead!¡± Luo Tao listened to Mo Yan and did not continue beating them. Instead, he sternly berated them. The hooligans quickly tried to leave, rolling and crawling on the ground. They looked like they had just seen a ghost, and did not even dare to look back. After chasing away the evil hooligans, Luo Tao quickly walked in front of Mo Yan and pulled her into his arms again. He gently stroked her beautiful hair and said in a deep voice, ¡°Are you still scared?¡± Mo Yan also wrapped her arms around his slender waist. Her face leaned against Luo Tao¡¯s chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt an unprecedented sense of security. She shook her head and said, ¡°Not anymore.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so brave.¡± Luo Tao held Mo Yan and felt his heart soften. The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. ¡°You even used a knife to cut two people. That¡¯s very impressive.¡± ¡°Even rabbits bite people when they feel threatened. I was forced to. Things could have gotten a lot worse. Fortunately, you came back just in time.¡± Mo Yan buried herself in his arms and rubbed against him like a spoiled child. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s all because of me. I should have stayed at home with you. This won¡¯t happen again.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice had subconsciously be much gentler, and the corners of his eyes curled upwards into smiles. However, if those hooligans came back, he would definitely kill them, Luo Tao thought to himself. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan was tightly wrapped around by Luo Tao, and her breathing became much faster. She tightened her arms around him, and her little face was flushed red. She did not expect Luo Tao to be so strong. Not only could he send a person flying with one kick, but he could also beat up a few hooligans in just a few moves. He waspletely different from the good-for-nothing, and poor person that she heard he was, before she married him. Actually, why did those hooligans say that Luo Tao was a good-for-nothing in the past? Thinking of this, Mo Yan could not help but raise her head to look at him. The man had extremely defined brows and yes, and he looked upright and handsome. He waspletely different from what she had heard about him. While she was sizing up Luo Tao, Luo Tao was looking at her with a smile. Mo Yan felt a little ufortable under his gaze. She could not help but touch her face and ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something on my face?¡± Luo Tao helped her to tuck her hair behind her ears, then, he slowly said, ¡°I heard that the eldest daughter of the Mo family had a bad temper, and that she was a spoiled youngdy. But in my eyes, you are very kind and virtuous. Not only do you not have any bad habits, but you also take care of our family well.¡± ¡°So, sometimes I think to myself, are you really the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Mo Lian?¡± Luo Tao looked at her, his eyes dark. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan froze, then she scolded, ¡°Of course I am! I am standing right in front of you now, what are you worried about?¡± Standing up straight from Luo Tao¡¯s arms, Mo Yan tugged at the hem of his clothes and pretended to be disgusted, saying, ¡°Come, I¡¯ll help you wash up quickly, you¡¯re so dirty. You should have been more careful.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be more careful next time.¡± Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s cute appearance, Luo Taoughed sincerely. He obediently followed her into the bathroom and let her wash his clothes. He did not mind that Mo Yan chose not toe clean today. There was still plenty of time in the future. He was willing to wait for the day when she was willing to tell him the truth. The two of them were interacting warmly when they heard an inappropriate shout from outside.. ¡°Luo Tao! What happened to you?¡± Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan stopped wiping the blood off of Luo Tao. Then, she saw Luo Tao look outside and say, ¡°He¡¯s from the vige, he¡¯s my¡­ friend.¡± As they walked out of the house, they saw that it was indeed Cheng Xiao outside. As soon as he saw Luo Taoing out, Cheng Xiao shouted, ¡°Oh my God! Did you kill someone? There¡¯s so much blood on you!¡± Luo Tao replied helplessly, ¡°No, I just chased them away.¡± Hearing this, Cheng Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air and eximed, ¡°It¡¯s over! The uncle of the hooligan boss is an official in the city! They will definitely take revenge on you!¡± Then, Mo Yan walked out and looked at Cheng Xiao in confusion. Cheng Xiao looked at Mo Yan¡¯s appearance and swallowed his saliva. His voice became even sharper as he shouted, ¡°Moreover, seeing that Mo Yan is so pretty, they will definitely not give up so easily!¡± Luo Tao frowned and his face darkened. He was just thinking of sending people to deal with those hooligans privately to avoid any future trouble. He had forgotten about Cheng Xiao. If something happened to the hooligans after they caused trouble at his house, he would be the number one suspect. Plus, because of Cheng Xiao¡¯s gossiping personality, he would definitely be found out. Moreover, after this fight, the hooligans who were beaten up would definitely suspect that he wasn¡¯t the real Luo Tao. If word got out, his enemies would alsoe looking for him. Thinking of this, Luo Tao was also in a bit of a dilemma. Seeing Luo Tao¡¯s ugly expression, an idea shed through Cheng Xiao¡¯s mind, and he quickly said, ¡°I have an idea!¡± Mo Yan and Luo Tao looked at him in confusion. Cheng Xiao adjusted his sses and pretended to be profound, ¡°As long as you two move out of here temporarily, the hooligans won¡¯t be able to find you guys and take revenge!¡± After considering it for a while, Luo Tao finally decided to hide in the city with Mo Yan to avoid anymore trouble. The two of them packed their luggage that night. After hearing that Granny Liu was the one who rushed to inform Luo Tao that she was in danger, Mo Yan insisted on going to her house to thank her. With a few chickens, ducks, and some fish, meat, and fruits, Mo Yan found Granny Liu and thanked her solemnly. It was already dark. There was a small oilmp on the table in front of Granny Liu¡¯s house. Under the dim yellow light, Granny Liu patted Mo Yan¡¯s head kindly and said with a smile, ¡°No worries. I¡¯m d that I could help you.¡± Mo Yan was a little moved. Looking at the old woman¡¯s gentle face, she was moved and said, ¡°Granny Liu, we will be moving to the city tomorrow. Please take good care of yourself.¡± Granny Liu looked at Mo Yan carefully and said slowly, ¡°You are a blessed child. You will definitely have a good life in the future. Do your best.¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± After saying goodbye to Granny Liu, Mo Yan called her best friend in the city, Xu Wan. Xu Wan was her university ssmate. The two of them were always together in university. After graduation, Xu Wan stayed in the city to work. If they were to move to the city, Luo Tao would definitely not have any connections. It was up to Mo Yan to contact her friends. The moment the call connected, Mo Yan told Xu Wan about what had happened to her in the past few days after she got married. She was furious. ¡°Luo Tao, that scumbag. Why did he not go back to the Mo family house together with you? As a result, you were bullied by Mo Lian. I¡¯m so angry!¡± ¡°Calm down, Xu Wan. He has his own problems as well.¡± Mo Yan smiled and tried to calm her down. It was not easy to coax her. After Mo Yan asked Xu Wan if she could help her find a house and a job, Xu Wan let out a faint sigh. ¡°Yan Yan, why did you marry such a person? He has no money nor power. Sigh.¡± Mo Yan walked all the way to the door of her house. When she saw Luo Tao focused on his work, she curled her lips and said, ¡°He¡¯s pretty great, but he just isn¡¯t lucky. Xu Wan, I¡¯ll leave this matter to you.¡±. ¡°Alright, no problem. Luo Tao better make you happy, or I¡¯ll go beat him up!¡± Xu Wan agreed. ¡°Okay, bye bye.¡± Mo Yan hung up the phone and walked into the room. Soon, Mo Yan received a message from Xu Wan, saying that an affordable rental house had been found, and it was not far from the city center. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only After receiving the good news, Mo Yan hurriedly told Luo Tao, saying that they could move in immediately. ¡°So soon?¡± Luo Tao was stunned. He had originally wanted to ask his assistant to pick a house for them, and then think of a good reason for why they were able to live there. He did not expect Mo Yan to settle it in one night. ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s all thanks to my best friend.¡± Mo Yan was in a good mood and even stuck her tongue out yfully. Since it was Mo Yan who picked the house, Luo Tao had no objections. He smiled as he looked at Mo Yan¡¯s yearning expression.. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio The apartment that Xu Wan found for the two of them was in an old residential building near the city center. Although there was no elevators, the walls were a little old, and the apartment was small, the rent was cheap and it was close to the city. Mo Yan took a look at the ce and decided to rent it. Most importantly, living here was close to the hospital, so it would be convenient for Mo Yan to visit her mother. Since her younger brother¡¯s tuition fees were already paid and he could go to school, the burden of taking care of their mother was ced on Mo Yan. During the day, Mo Yan had to go to the hospital to take care of her mother and look for jobs. At night, she had toe back and cook for Luo Tao, she was so busy. Her best friend, Xu Wan, also often talked badly about Luo Tao. ¡°Yan Yan, why is your husband not helping at all? He¡¯s just letting you tire yourself out. While you go out to look for jobs, shouldn¡¯t he go to the hospital to take care of your mother instead? You¡¯re letting yourself be a pushover.¡± Mo Yan said as she ced some flowers in a vase, ¡°Luo Tao has his own matters to attend to. I can handle it on my own, so I won¡¯t trouble him.¡± Xu Wan¡¯s impression of Luo Tao had always been very bad. When she heard this, she snorted coldly and said bitterly, ¡°Just leave him! I don¡¯t understand what¡¯s so good about a man with no money or ability.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to go cook. Talk to you next time.¡± Mo Yan finished arranging the flowers and looked at the small rented room that was decorated very homely andfortably. Her lips curved into a smile. With a click, the door was unlocked. Luo Tao came back from his run with a bag of oranges in his hand. Mo Yan took the oranges and said with a smile, ¡°Luo Tao, see how I¡¯ve tidied up the house?¡± Luo Tao took off his mask and looked over. The old sofa in the living room was covered with a beige sofa cover. The small table was covered with a grass-green id tablecloth. On top of it was a vase of roses. The window was very bright and there was a white translucent curtain hanging down from it. Even though Luo Tao was used to seeing and living in luxurious vis and apartments, he was still amazed by Mo Yan¡¯s meticulously decorated small house. Compared to those big houses with luxurious decorations, Luo Tao would rather squeeze in this small butfortable rented house with Mo Yan. ¡°It¡¯s very beautiful. I like it very much.¡± Luo Tao smiled and said from the bottom of his heart. ¡°I¡¯m d that you like it.¡± Mo Yan put on an apron and walked into the small kitchen. She seemed to have thought of something, she stuck her head out again and said, ¡°I passed the interview today. It¡¯s the company where Xu Wan works. I can start going to work tomorrow.¡± So this was the reason why she was in a good mood today. Luo Tao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, ¡°Whichpany is it? How big Is It? What position do you have?¡± She was bombarded by a series of questions. Mo Yan opened her mouth and was a little embarrassed. ¡°Uh, I just got hired. I¡¯m just a small sales person. I¡¯m not too sure about the rest¡­¡± Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s troubled expression, Luo Tao nodded and said, ¡°Okay, do your best.¡± However, on Mo Yan¡¯s first day at work, a very unfortunate thing happened. At that time, she had just finished signing her attendance sheet and was following a guidance personnel to her work station. She first knocked on the door of her supervisors¡¯ office to greet them. When she entered, she saw two extremely familiar faces. Her department supervisor was actually Zhou Shuai and Chen Ya! Zhou Shuai was her senior in university. He had onceunched an ardent pursuit for her for a year and a half, but Mo Yan had always rejected him. Zhou Shuai liked to pester her, so she had thought of all ways to avoid him. The reasons why she did not get together with Zhou Shuai was firstly because she understood his lust for beauty. He pursued her because she was good-looking, not because he really liked her. Secondly, she was busy with her studies and work during university, she simply did not have the time to date. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Later, she heard that Zhou Shuai had gotten together with his colleague, Chen Ya after graduation. She did not expect that they would both be promoted to supervisor. This awkward situation caused Mo Yan to be stunned for a few seconds after she entered the office. However, she quickly came back to her senses and said, ¡°Supervisor Zhou, Supervisor Chen, I¡¯m here for work.¡± Chen Ya was a woman with a sharp chin who liked to wear heavy makeup. Perhaps it was because they were a couple, but she was sitting on Zhou Shuai¡¯sp. When she saw Mo Yan enter, she slowly stood up and nodded in response. Zhou Shuai naturally recognized Mo Yan and smiled meaningfully. He took her work permit and nced at it, saying, ¡°Mo Yan? I thought the name and surname of our new hire was familiar¡­ I didn¡¯t expect it to really be you. What a coincidence.¡± Although Mo Yan was still a little disgusted by Zhou Shuai, she still forced a smile for the sake of work. ¡°Yes, what a coincidence..¡± Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Do you know each other?¡± Chen Ya looked at their expressions and asked in surprise. ¡°Yes, we are old ssmates.¡± Supervisor Zhou replied. He did not make things difficult for Mo Yan. He took out a folder and handed it to Mo Yan. ¡°This is the basic information of our department. Take a good look.¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan took the folder, her work certificate and left the office. ¡°Hubby, you kept looking at her just now. Do you think she¡¯s very beautiful?¡± After Mo Yan left, Chen Ya fell on Zhou Shuai¡¯s body again and said coquettishly. If Chen Ya found out about his past with Mo Yan, she would definitely cause a huge ruckus. Zhou Shuai had a n in his mind, he quickly replied, ¡°No, no. Xiao Ya, you¡¯re the most beautiful. How can a mediocre woman like herpare to you?¡± ¡°Damn it, you sweet-talker.¡± Chen Ya yfully and gently hit Zhou Shuai¡¯s chest, immediately causing him tough. Meanwhile, Mo Yan, who had arrived at her work station, was seriously studying the department¡¯s information. From time to time, she would use a pen to highlight key points. After about ten minutes, the sound of high heels approached, ¡°Deng, deng, deng¡±. Mo Yan looked up and saw that it was Chen Ya, who was wearing fiery red lipstick. She greeted her, ¡°Supervisor Chen.¡± Chen Ya nced at her from head to toe and said with a fake smile, ¡°Mo Yan, right? It¡¯s your first day on the job. How is it so far?¡± Mo Yan knew exactly how to answer these type of questions. She smiled slightly and replied, ¡°I think that the department is very well organized. I believe that I will adapt very quickly.¡± ¡°I see.¡± The corners of Chen Ya¡¯s mouth curled up as she looked at Mo Yan¡¯s lower body, she crossed her arms across her chest and said, ¡°As a supervisor, I have to remind you that work is work. Don¡¯t dress so extravagantly. Don¡¯t wear this dress in the future, understand?¡± Mo Yan lowered her head and looked at the full length ck formal dress that she was wearing. She was stunned for a moment. Such a conservative formal dress was actually dazzling in her eyes? Seeing that Mo Yan did not say anything, Chen Ya¡¯s face turned cold. She asked forcefully, ¡°Why? Do you disagree with what I said?¡± Her loud voice attracted the attention of the surrounding colleagues. The entire ce was silent. Everyone looked at Mo Yan with a sympathetic gaze. Mo Yan shook her head and replied in a good-natured manner, ¡°No, you are right. I will not wear this dress again in the future.¡± ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± Chen Ya snorted, turned around and walked away with a twist of her waist. When the sound of high heels disappeared at the end of the corridor, the silent department became lively again. A girl wearing ck-rimmed sses who was sitting next to Mo Yan poked her head over, she said to Mo Yan, ¡°Don¡¯t take it to heart. She has always been so mean.¡± Mo Yan smiled at her and said in a friendly manner, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Today is my first day at work. My name is Mo Yan. What¡¯s yours?¡± Hence, Mo Yan got to know the girl beside her who wore ck-rimmed sses, called Zhu Zhu. ¡°Zhu Zhu, your name is quite cute.¡± Mo Yan was amused andughed lightly. Zhu Zhu raised her eyebrows and gave her a smug look. Then she whispered, ¡°I think that you have been marked by Supervisor Chen.¡± ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Mo Yan was a little puzzled. She too felt an inexplicable sense of hostility from Chen Ya. However, it was her first day at work and she did not have any enmity with Chen Ya. Why would she be like this? ¡°You must be confused. Chen Ya is Supervisor Zhou¡¯s girlfriend. She is very easily jealous. As long as a girl is slightly better looking than her, she will be targeted by her. Last month, she forced a beautiful girl away.¡± Zhu Zhu lowered her voice and winked at Mo Yan. ¡°An ugly girl like me was lucky enough to stay under her radar.¡± ¡°I see. Thank you for letting me know.¡± Mo Yan nodded. It seemed that she had to pay more attention to her appearance at work in the future to avoid being noticed by Chen Ya.

After tidying it up, she got up and went over. She knocked on the door again and entered Supervisor Zhou¡¯s office. There was only Zhou Shuai inside. Seeing that Mo Yan hade, Zhou Shuai smiled and pointed to the sofa beside the small coffee table. ¡°Sit down. I have something to tell you..¡± Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯ll just stand and listen.¡± Mo Yan smiled. She took two steps and stood two meters away from Zhou Shuai. ¡°You¡¯re still the same as before.¡± Zhou Shuai put down the cup in his hand and walked over to Mo Yan slowly. He said, ¡°Even your appearance hasn¡¯t changed. You¡¯re still very beautiful.¡± Sensing Supervisor Zhou¡¯s malicious gaze, Mo Yan¡¯s smile also disappeared. She said calmly, ¡°Supervisor Zhou, if you have something to say, just say it.¡± ¡°I have a lot to talk to you about. For example, a few years have passed. Have you missed me?¡± Supervisor Zhou smiled and approached Mo Yan. Mo Yan did not want to be so close to him, so she could only take a step back. As Zhou Shuai continuously approached her, Mo Yan ended up stuck against a wall. Frowning, Mo Yan¡¯s face turned cold, and her body stiffened. ¡°Zhou Shuai, I¡¯m already married. Please have some self-respect.¡± Zhou Shuai came closer and carefully sniffed Mo Yan¡¯s body. He said intoxicated, ¡°You smell so good. No way you¡¯re already married. You¡¯re just trying to anger me, I know.¡± After saying that, Zhou Shuai pressed on Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder and lowered his head to kiss her. Mo Yan was extremely disgusted by his touch. Her stomach churned and she almost vomited. Just as she was about to forcefully shake off Zhou Shuai¡¯s hand, she suddenly saw the office door open. Chen Ya strode in and said sternly, ¡°What are you two doing!¡± Zhou Shuai¡¯s body trembled and he immediately took a few steps back. He said hurriedly, ¡°I¡¯m just giving her her assignments.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Chen Ya narrowed her eyes and red fiercely at Mo Yan, who was leaning against the wall. She had realized that Zhou Shuai¡¯s office door was not closed. When she nced into the office, she saw that the two of them were behaving very suspiciously, so she came in. ¡°Mo Yan, be honest. I was just giving you your assignments, right?¡± Zhou Shuai turned his head and gave Mo Yan a stern look. Mo Yan did not want to give him any attention, nor did she want to be misunderstood by Chen Ya. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Yes.¡± Supervisor Zhou immediately heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at Chen Ya ingratiatingly. ¡°Xiao Ya, you must have seen wrongly or misunderstood.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be heading out first.¡± Mo Yan resisted the feeling of nausea and hurriedly walked out with her head lowered. Chen Ya stared at Mo Yan¡¯s back fiercely until she walked out of her sight. Then, she said coldly, ¡°Supervisor Zhou, the door of your office wasn¡¯t closed just now. I saw everything.¡± His heart skipped a beat. He quickly pretended to be innocent and said, ¡°I¡¯m innocent! She was the one who tried to seduce me!¡± Seeing that Chen Ya still looked suspicious, Supervisor Zhou raised his hand and made an oath. ¡°It¡¯s true. I swear. I¡¯ll never be attracted to her. Even your toes are more beautiful than her.¡± Hearing this, Chen Ya¡¯s calmed down a little. She curled her lips and said disdainfully, ¡°I¡¯ve seen many women rely on their bodies to get to the top.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. You are the only one for me. I definitely won¡¯t fall for her,¡± Zhou Shuai said obsequiously. Chen Yaughed and suggested, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then fire Mo Yan so that she won¡¯t ruin my mood anymore.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Zhou Shuai subconsciously stopped her. If he fired Mo Yan, he wouldn¡¯t be able to take advantage of her anymore. He rolled his eyes and exined, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to fire her. It¡¯s just that the department is short of people right now. A few female saleswomen leftst month. We already have a bad reputation because of that.¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Hmph, alright.¡± Chen Ya snorted and reluctantly agreed with Zhou Shuai¡¯s words. However, she was cursing in her heart. This little bitch, Mo Yan, she just arrived today and she¡¯s already trying to seduce my man. Does she think I¡¯m a pushover? She needs to be punished to know where she stands! At the end of her first day at work, Mo Yan was already extremely tired. Her colleagues had left her with all sorts of long-standing lists and matters to handle. She was extremely busy. Fortunately, she was able to adapt quickly and things got easier. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Thinking about Zhou Shuai¡¯s harassment during the day, Mo Yan felt a headacheing on. Fortunately, Chen Ya¡¯s arrival frightened him. Otherwise, things might have escted. The house that Mo Yan and Luo Tao rented was not far from where she worked, so Mo Yan easily walk home in 10 minutes. Just as she was about to reach the old residential building, her phone suddenly rang. The caller had an unfamiliar number. As soon as the call was connected, a woman¡¯s voice said, ¡°Hello, is this Mo Cheng¡¯s parent?¡± Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Cheng? Could it be that something happened at school? Mo Yan took a step forward and quickly replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m Mo Cheng¡¯s sister. May I ask what happened to him?¡± The woman on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and then said, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m Mo Cheng¡¯s form teacher. It¡¯s like this. Mo Cheng and his ssmates had an argument and now they can¡¯t agree on anything. Hurry ande to school.¡± After hanging up the phone, Mo Yan anxiously called a taxi and rushed to Mo Cheng¡¯s school. The middle school that Mo Cheng attended was an international school. It had top-notch teachers and environment. It was the best middle school in the city. At the same time, its tuition fees were also extremely high, costing more than 100,000 yuan a year. Because of Mo Cheng¡¯s excellent results, he had an exemption of 80% of the tuition fees as a special enrollment student. But even so, the tuition fees still brought a lot of pressure to Mo Yan. Hearing that Mo Cheng, who had always been sensible and considerate, quarreled with someone else, Mo Yan was in disbelief. Rushing to the school, Mo Yan jogged all the way to the teacher-in-charge¡¯s office. As soon as she entered the office, she saw Mo Cheng and three boys standing side by side with different expressions. ¡°Mo Yan! Why are you here!¡± Mo Cheng¡¯s eyes widened when he saw Mo Yan entering the door, then he could not help but say. Mo Yan patted his shoulder, then looked at the middle-aged woman sitting at the side and said, ¡°Hello, teacher. I am Mo Cheng¡¯s sister.¡± The teacher nodded and motioned for her to sit down. Then she said, ¡°I had no choice but to invite you to school today. It was originally just a small conflict between the students, but Mo Cheng has a stubborn temper and refused to reconcile. We don¡¯t know what to do. Sigh.¡± Mo Yan turned her head to look at Mo Cheng. Mo Cheng bit his lips and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°Okay, thank you for your hard work, teacher. I¡¯ll talk to him,¡± Mo Yan replied and then gently asked Mo Cheng, ¡°Mo Cheng, exin yourself.¡± Mo Cheng clenched his fists, and tears shed in his eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. I¡¯m not apologizing¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Mo Yan turned to look at the teacher again, waiting for her reply. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡°Ahem, it¡¯s like this. Mo Cheng and the three students were arguing during recess. Even after ss started, Mo Cheng was still arguing with them, seriously disturbing the ss. So, I mediated between both parties. These three students apologized to Mo Cheng. Only Mo Cheng wasn¡¯t willing to apologize to them.¡± After the teacher finished speaking, Mo Yan still did not reply. Mo Cheng took a step forward and interrupted with tears in his eyes, ¡°I¡¯m not arguing! I¡¯m exining! I was wronged. It¡¯s their fault, not mine!¡± ¡°Why did you guys quarrel?¡± Mo Yan interrupted Mo Cheng and asked with a frown. ¡°It¡¯s because of him! Meng Hao! He kept saying that I¡­ saying that I¡­¡± Mo Cheng pointed at the boy who had his head lowered at the side, and tears finally rolled down his face. Seeing that Mo Cheng was choked with sobs and could not speak, Mo Yan walked up to the boy named Meng Hao and asked, ¡°What did you say to Mo Cheng?¡± The name Meng Hao sounded very familiar to her, but she could not recall it. Meng Hao, who had his head lowered, raised his head and looked at her briefly. Then, he quickly lowered his head again and did not reply. This allowed Mo Yan to clearly see Meng Hao¡¯s face. She was momentarily stunned. She recognized Meng Hao! Meng Hao was even rted to the two of them. Meng Hao was the son of her stepmother, Meng Xian¡¯s younger sister. Mo Cheng and Meng Hao were cousins. She did not expect that the Meng family¡¯s child would also be studying at this school. Moreover, he had even gotten into an argument with Mo Cheng. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Since he was on Meng Xian¡¯s side, it was easy to imagine why he would argue with Mo Cheng. After understanding this matter, Mo Yan¡¯s face immediately darkened. Seeing that Meng Hao did not dare to speak out of guilt, Mo Cheng wiped his tears, gritting his teeth, he said, ¡°He always took the lead in ss to say that I¡¯m an illegitimate child, that my mother is a mistress who ran away with another man, and that I¡¯m poor. He said that I should not attend this school if I can¡¯t afford the tuition fees¡­¡± After sobbing a few times, Mo Cheng said aggrievedly, ¡°I really can¡¯t take it anymore. what they said weren¡¯t true, that¡¯s why I defended myself. I didn¡¯t do anything wrong, why should I apologize?¡± Mo Yan took a deep breath and pulled her aggrieved brother into her arms, stopping the other three boys from watching Mo Cheng cry. At the same time, she said to the form teacher, ¡°Teacher, my brother is indeed not in the wrong. Since they have apologized, let¡¯s forget about this matter..¡± Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°However, because these three boys said such outrageous and despicable words, I think they should be severely punished. I want them to formally apologize to my brother and publicly reflect on their actions.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s tone changed, her voice suddenly became fierce. In the end, the incident ended with the three boys apologizing and publicly reflecting on their actions in ss on Monday. Just as she was about to take Mo Cheng away, Mo Yan stopped in her tracks and stopped the three boys. ¡°As Mo Cheng¡¯s sister, I have to make things clear to all of you. Firstly, Mo Cheng is not an illegitimate child, and it¡¯s not your ce to worry about him. Secondly, Mo Cheng¡¯s mother and father agreed to a divorce, so the bullshit of being a mistress is just a rumor. Thirdly, our family is rich, and I can afford for Mo Cheng to study here. I advise all of you to mind your own business, or else¡­¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes focused, and her tone was unprecedentedly firm and fierce. She said, ¡°You guys will get it from me!¡± With that, Mo Yan left with Mo Cheng. As they walked back to Mo Cheng¡¯s dormitory, Mo Cheng said in a muffled voice, ¡°Mo Yan, I didn¡¯t want to trouble you toe to school. You¡¯ve been working so hard.¡± Mo Yan smiled slightly, rubbed his head, andforted him, ¡°I am your family, and also your backing. I¡¯m very d to be able to help you. Don¡¯t me yourself.¡± Just as Mo Cheng nodded and wanted to say something, Mo Yan¡¯s phone rang. She looked at the caller, smiled apologetically at her brother, and answered, ¡°Hello? I¡¯ll be back in a while.¡± ¡°Yes, are you working overtime? It¡¯s sote.¡± Luo Tao said lightly. ¡°Yes¡­ I¡¯m working overtime.¡± Mo Yan turned to look at Mo Cheng and whispered. ¡°Okay, I¡¯m waiting for you downstairs your office building.¡± Luo Tao raised his head to look at the pitch- ck office building, expressionless. Hearing this, Mo Yan realized that her lie had been exposed. She was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, ¡°Luo Tao, wait a moment. I¡¯ll call you back.¡± Quickly hanging up the phone, Mo Yan turned to look at Mo Cheng who was silently waiting for her. She scratched her head and said, ¡°It¡¯s my husband calling.¡± ¡°Did Luo Tao urge you to quicklye home for dinner? You two are really close.¡± Mo Cheng also smiled, and his eyes were filled with envy. Mo Yan had never mentioned to her mother and brother that she had been forced to marry Luo Tao. She was afraid that they would be sad if they knew, so she had always described her marriage with Luo Tao as the result of a true love, so she could only smile awkwardly and say, ¡°Yes.¡± When they reached the students¡¯ dormitories, it was almost bedtime for the students, so it was very quiet. Mo Yan stopped in her tracks, she smiled and asked Mo Cheng, ¡°Do you still have any living expenses? Do you want me to give you some more?¡± Mo Cheng shook his head and said sensibly, ¡°I still have a lot. Don¡¯t worry, Mo Yan. I don¡¯t like to spend money.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Mo Yan was relieved. She waved to Mo Cheng and said, ¡°I will be leaving first. Study hard!¡± Mo Cheng nodded, then watched Mo Yan turn around and leave in a hurry. As soon as Mo Yan turned a corner, she anxiously called Luo Tao. ¡°Hello? Luo Tao, you should go home.¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you not in thepany?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sorry, I lied to you.¡± Mo Yan lowered her head and walked. She unconsciously kicked a small stone on the road and exined, ¡°I¡¯m actually at my brother¡¯s school. I¡¯m helping him with some things¡­¡± Luo Tao was still standing where he was. His eyes were dark as he asked, ¡°Oh? Is he the son of your father¡¯s ex-wife? His name is Mo Cheng?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s throat tightened. At this point, she remembered that she had to act like she was Mo Lian. Her voice was sour as she replied, ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not your biological brother. Why are you handling his matters? Doesn¡¯t he have a biological sister?¡± The corners of Luo Tao¡¯s mouth curled up as he pretended to be confused. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I happened to be free, so I dropped by.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯m still outside. I¡¯lle pick you up. Wait for me at the school gate.¡± Luo Tao did not continue to pressure her, but said in a tone that could not be rejected. ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Then, Mo Yan walked to the school gate. Looking at the sparsely popted street, she found a conspicuous ce to stand. In less than ten minutes, Mo Yan noticed a tall figure walking over with big strides at the end of the street, so she hurriedly ran up to meet him. Luo Tao¡¯s expression was as usual. He reached out to hold Mo Yan¡¯s hand the moment they met, naturally. It was as if he had done this many times.. Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Yan¡¯s face instantly turned red. Wrapped in Luo Tao¡¯s broad and warm hands, all the negativity in her heart were instantly swept away. She obediently let him hold her hand and the two of them slowly walked home. When they reached the entrance of an alley, Mo Yan¡¯s sharp eyes suddenly spotted a small restaurant that sold beef noodles. Her eyes immediately lit up as she said, ¡°Luo Tao, why don¡¯t we have noodles tonight!¡± It was probably toote to cook dinner. It was more convenient to have dinner in a restaurant outside. Luo Tao did not have any objections and readily agreed, ¡°Sure.¡± After they entered the restaurant, Mo Yan led him to find a seat and sat down. Then, she took out a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped off the oil stains on the table. Only then did she raise her head and ask him with a smile, ¡°Luo Tao, what do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Anything.¡± ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll eat their signature dish.¡± Mo Yan stood up with a smile and walked to the kitchen to look for the boss. Luo Tao stared at the oil stains on the table that had not been wiped clean at all. He pursed his lips. This was the first time he had stepped into such a small roadside restaurant in his many years of life. Usually, at home, the eating environment and food standards were top-notch. Every meal was handled by a dedicated servant. His life in the small mountain vige before they came to the city was already tough in his eyes. However, at least he made his own food. No matter how bad it tasted, it was clean and hygienic. Here, not only did he have to eat together with other customers, the oil stains on the table were not even wiped clean. While Luo Tao was staring at the cockroaches that shed past the cracks in the wall in a daze, Mo Yan had already brought two bowls of steaming hot noodles over. ¡°Here, yours is the signature beef noodles and mine is beef offal noodles. I specially gave you the slightly spicy one. Eat it quickly.¡± Mo Yan handed him a pair of chopsticks and took the lead to eat a mouthful of beef offal. She narrowed her eyes happily and said, ¡°It¡¯s so delicious.¡± This shop was the one that she liked toe to and eat with her ssmates when she was still in school. Their pricing was affordable and they used good ingredients. She did not expect that after so many years, the taste of their food would still be the same. Luo Tao looked at her silently, then picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. ¡°Is it good?¡± Mo Yan looked at him expectantly. After swallowing the beef, Luo Tao frowned slightly, but he still said against his heart, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Seeing that Luo Tao looked a bit awkward, Mo Yan put two and two together. She asked in a low voice, ¡°Is this your first time eating beef noodles?¡± Luo Tao nodded his head honestly. Hearing that, Mo Yan immediately felt bad for him. His parents died early, so he had always been alone since he was young. Moreover, he was extremely poor. How could he not go down the wrong path? He was so poor that he had not even had a bowl of beef noodles. Mo Yan really felt sorry for him. Thinking of this, Mo Yan made up her mind. Since Luo Tao¡¯s previous life was so difficult, as his wife, she decided to work hard to make his life better! Then, Mo Yan assured Luo Tao with a determined look, ¡°We will definitely have a good life in the future!¡± Luo Tao was stuffing noodles into his mouth when he was suddenlyforted by Mo Yan in a sympathetic tone. After a moment of confusion, he finally reacted. He realised that he had been misunderstood by her as a poor person who had never tried beef noodles. She was feeling sorry for him! Luo Tao did not care about his identity as a poor person. On the contrary, because of this wonderful misunderstanding, he was very touched that Mo Yan was feeling sorry for him and wanted to make things better for him. He even wanted to do it a few more times. So, Luo Tao smiled and agreed, ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing Luo Tao smile, Mo Yan was stunned and quickly said, ¡°Believe me. When I get paid, I will take you out for a good meal!¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Okay, I believe you.¡± Luo Tao replied with a smile on his face. With this promise, Mo Yan had a lot of motivation to go to work for the next few days. One day, when Mo Yan was discussing a client¡¯s proposal with her colleagues in the group meeting, Chen Ya suddenly pushed the door open and entered. As soon as she entered, Chen Ya threw a stack of documents in front of her with a cold face and scolded, ¡°Your mistake caused thepany to lose two big clients!¡± Mo Yan was stunned. Then, she picked up the documents on the table and flipped through them. She recognized that this was the n that she had made ording to Chen Ya¡¯s instructions. She exined, ¡°Supervisor Chen, didn¡¯t you ask me to do this¡­¡± ¡°This n is signed by you, right?¡± Chen Ya interrupted her defense and said aggressively.. Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Yes, but this is¡­¡± Mo Yan saw her colleagues gathered around and answered Chen Ya¡¯s question, trying to exin. She was indeed the one who had made this n, but she did it ording to Chen Ya¡¯s instructions. Chen Ya even watched her finish writing the n word by word before leaving! ¡°You know that referencing other clients is a big taboo in the industry! Why did you include this into the proposal? Are you nning to get everyone fired? What a cunning idiot!¡± Chen Ya pointed at her nose and scolded loudly. ¡°You were the one who told me to do the proposal this way. You abused your position as a supervisor and didn¡¯t allow me to change a single word. Shouldn¡¯t the one with ulterior motives be you?¡± Seeing that she was being ndered as ¡°wanting to harm everyone¡±, Mo Yan was anxious and retorted loudly. ¡°Ha, you¡¯re quick to make up excuses.¡± Chen Ya sneered. Her eyes were filled with the satisfaction of having seeded in her evil scheme. She flipped to thest page of the document, she pointed and said, ¡°Look here. This is your own name. You still want to shift the me onto me?¡± ¡°Exactly. The person who wrote this proposal is you, Mo Yan. How can you me other people?¡± A colleague who usually liked to please Chen Ya said. Mo Yan lowered her head and looked at her signature. She knew that she had fallen into Chen Ya¡¯s trap. She had been tricked. No matter what she said, no one would believe her. ¡°Chen Ya, if you dislike me so much, just fire me! Why do you have do something like this!¡± Mo Yan said through gritted teeth. She was heaving with anger because she had been tricked. ¡°Hmph, why do I have to waste my energy on a small fry like you?¡± Chen Ya sneered, looked around at her colleagues, and said with ill intentions, ¡°Because of you, the company just lost an order worth at least a million dors. Just wait and see. You will have to deal with the consequences soon.¡± After Chen Ya walked out of the meeting room with her head held high, her colleagues, who were so scared that they did not dare to make a sound, gathered around her. Mo Yan had always treated her colleagues kindly. They all had a good impression of her. Hence, they all came tofort her. Zhu Zhu put her arm around Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder and tried to persuade her, ¡°Yan Yan, Supervisor Chen has a bad temper. Don¡¯t go head-to-head with her.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Everyone makes mistakes. You should apologize first, so she won¡¯t lose her temper with you,¡± the surrounding colleagues echoed. Mo Yan shook her head. They didn¡¯t believe that she was genuinely wronged by Chen Ya. Chen Ya deliberately wanted her to embarrass herself in front of everyone. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. After leaving the meeting room, Mo Yan walked alone to a small corner of thepany and told her best friend, Xu Wan, about this matter. Although Xu Wan was in the samepany as her, they were not in the same department. She was in the sales department, while Xu Wan was in the administrative department a few floors above. ¡°Wow, how did you offend that female devil? She is famous in thepany for being narrow-minded and liking to bully people.¡± Xu Wan covered her mouth and said in surprise. ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Mo Yan answered sullenly. She had been doing well in thepany. Last week, she even won the Best Neer Award. She even tried her best to avoid her boyfriend, Zhou Shuai. How exactly did she offend Chen Ya? ¡°Sigh, forget it. You must not quarrel with her. She is the niece of the vice president of thepany. She got to where she is because of her connections. You can¡¯t afford to offend her!¡± Xu Wan tried to persuade her nervously. ¡°I¡¯ve already quarreled with her, and I don¡¯t think she will let me off easily.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s face was bitter. She didn¡¯t know what to do. ¡°Ah? Never mind. Just give in and apologise. She just wants to make you suffer. You just have to bear with it.¡± Xu Wan said. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan hung up the phone aggrievedly. Chen Ya¡¯s intention was not as simple as just wanting to make Mo Yan suffer. That afternoon, Mo Yan was called to the supervisors¡¯ office. Chen Ya and Zhou Shuai were both there. Chen Ya sat beside Zhou Shuai and leaned softly against him as if she was deliberately dering her ownership of Zhou Shuai. After Zhou Shuai read the proposal in question, he coughed lightly and said, ¡°This proposal was written by you. The mistake was also made by you, right?¡± Chen Ya, who was beside him, immediately interjected, ¡°It¡¯s written in ck and white here. What¡¯s there for her to quibble about?¡± Thus, without waiting for Mo Yan to exin, Zhou Shuai tapped the table lightly and ordered, ¡°Alright, then write a public review on Monday..¡± Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio When she heard that it was a negligible punishment, Chen Ya was immediately unhappy. She held onto Zhou Shuai¡¯s hand and said coquettishly, ¡°Hubby, why are you so soft-hearted? Deal with it ording to thepany¡¯s rules!¡± When he heard this, Zhou Shuai¡¯s head started to hurt. Chen Ya was constantly bullying pretty girls in thepany. Usually, he would turn a blind eye to it, but Mo Yan was the girl whom he had been trying so hard to pursue but to no avail. He had not even taken advantage of Mo Yan yet, so how could he let Chen Ya chase her away like this? Thinking of protecting Mo Yan, Supervisor Zhou waved his hand and said, ¡°Forget it, Xiao Ya. She¡¯s still a neer. It¡¯s normal for her to make mistakes.¡± Realizing that Supervisor Zhou was intentionally protecting her, Chen Ya¡¯s gaze turned fierce and she suddenly said sternly, ¡°Supervisor Zhou, do you have a crush on her?¡± ¡°Of course not. Xiao Ya, why would you think that?¡± Supervisor Zhou was shocked. The dark thoughts in his heart were exposed and he immediately denied it. Mo Yan, who was originally standing at the side and resigned to her fate, was also ufortable. Wasn¡¯t Chen Ya¡¯s statement a little too overboard? Hence, Mo Yan also rified, ¡°I have nothing to do with Supervisor Zhou. Please be careful with your words!¡± Chen Ya snorted coldly and suddenly curved her lips into a smile. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll bring her to my uncle so that he can give her a better punishment!¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Hearing that, Zhou Shuai broke out in a cold sweat. He had relied on Chen Ya¡¯s uncle as the deputy general manager to get his position, so he did not dare to offend her. It seemed that Mo Yan was done for. He smiled bitterly and said, ¡°Alright, whatever you say.¡± Then, Zhou Shuai waved his hand, signaling them to leave. Chen Ya then led Mo Yan to look for her uncle. When they entered the elevator, Mo Yan lowered her eyes and said to Chen Ya indifferently, ¡°You have an uncle as the deputy general manager and a boyfriend as a supervisor. I¡¯m just a small employee. I can¡¯t do anything to you. I don¡¯t know why you are so threatened by me.¡± She looked up and down at Mo Yan and realized that she was wearing dark long clothes and long pants today, and her long hair was neatly tied behind her ears. There was nothing about her appearance that Chen Ya could rebuke her about. She then scolded unhappily, ¡°There¡¯s just some vixens out here who are jealous of other people¡¯s boyfriends, and want to steal them.¡± Chen Ya did not name Mo Yan in her statement, but it was undoubtedly meant for her to hear. Mo Yan was inexplicably called a ¡°Vixen¡± by her. She did not know what to reply, so she could only keep quiet. When they got out of the elevator, Chen Ya saw that Mo Yan did not retort, and thought that she was feeling guilty, so she became even more proud. She said fiercely in her ear, ¡°You are such a shabby person. If you¡¯re told to reimburse our losster, you will definitely go bankrupt.¡± After saying that, Chen Ya twisted her waist and walked forward proudly. The trap that Chen Ya had dug for her was actually to make her pay! Mo Yan was shocked and her eyes widened slightly. It was all her fault for entering the workce for the first time and stepping into the trap that Chen Ya had dug for her without knowing anything. Since Chen Ya¡¯s uncle was the deputy general manager, he would probably give into her. Forget it. At worst, she would just quit her job and leave! Now that she had no other choice, Mo Yan could only follow behind. However, at the entrance of the deputy general manager¡¯s office, Chen Ya and Mo Yan were both blocked outside. The secretary said, ¡°The deputy general manager is not in thepany right now. If you have something to bring up to him, come again next time.¡± ¡°How is that possible! My uncle is usually here at this time!¡± Chen Ya¡¯s face was full of shock. She was so anxious that she stomped her feet. The secretary smiled apologetically and said, ¡°The deputy general manager went to a meeting on behalf of the general manager just now.¡± Without her uncle¡¯s support, Chen Ya could not make Mo Yan pay. She red at Mo Yan fiercely and turned around to leave. ¡°Wait!¡± Mo Yan suddenly called out and stopped Chen Ya. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Seeing that Chen Ya wanted to leave instead of going to the general manager, this meant she would not be made to pay if this was brought up to the general manager. Since that was the case, Mo Yan felt that rather than letting Chen Ya continue to bully her, she might as well take a gamble. After all, she had a clear conscience, and Chen Ya was the one who was guilty! ¡°Isn¡¯t the general manager here? I heard someone talking inside just now.¡± Mo Yan smiled slightly and looked at the slightly flustered Chen Ya. She added, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to find the deputy general manager to get a punishment ording to thepany¡¯s rules for me? We can go to the general manager instead.¡± The secretary also reacted and smiled. ¡°Yes, CEO Song Is free now. If you have anything to bring up, you can talk to her about it..¡± Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Chen Ya¡¯s face stiffened, and she suddenly lost her aggressive aura. She pretended to be calm and said, ¡°Are you crazy? If this matter goes to the general manager, it will be even worse for you.¡± However, the more Chen Ya panicked, the more determined Mo Yan was to expose the matter to the general manager. Before Chen Ya could say anything more, Mo Yan took a few steps forward and knocked on the door of the general manager¡¯s office. ¡°You!¡± Chen Ya was so angry that she choked and stared at Mo Yan. ¡°Who is it?¡± A woman¡¯s voice came from inside. The secretary who was standing at the side quickly walked to the door and answered, ¡°CEO Song, Supervisor Chen and an employee from the sales department said that they have something to talk to you about.¡± ¡°Okay, let them in,¡± the woman inside instructed. After the secretary got the CEO¡¯s permission, she opened the door and let the two people in. Mo Yan was the first to walk over. Seeing that Chen Ya was frozen on the spot and did not follow, she smiled slightly and said, ¡°Supervisor Chen, didn¡¯t you have an issue you wanted to bring up? Why are you so timid now?¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Upon hearing that, Chen Ya lowered her voice and threatened Mo Yan, ¡°Do you really think that that old woman Song Yun will protect you? Just you wait!¡± When Mo Yan entered the office and saw how thepany¡¯s general manager looked like, she was slightly surprised. Sitting at the office table was a woman about 35 years old. She was wearing a light gray professional suit. Her hair was neatlybed behind her ears. Although her appearance was not outstanding, her eyes were very firm and powerful, her temperament was also very outstanding. Mo Yan took the initiative to introduce herself, ¡°Hello, CEO Song. I¡¯m Mo Yan, a new employee of the sales department who joined half a month ago.¡± Song Yun calmly sized up Chen Ya, whose expression was obviously not too good, and smiled, ¡°I remember you.¡± Mo Yan was stunned, and then she heard Song Yun slowly say, ¡°I¡¯ve read the reports from your department. There have been many big and difficult orders that have been held back for several years. Their sales were finally negotiated by you. Good job.¡± Mo Yan did not expect the boss of thepany to actually remember the name of a small employee like her. She was immediately overwhelmed and said a little embarrassedly, ¡°CEO Song, you tter me.¡± Song Yun nodded lightly and turned to look at Chen Ya on the other side. She asked, ¡°Supervisor Chen, is there something wrong?¡± Chen Ya smiled very unsightly. She looked at Mo Yan warily and then exined, ¡°This employee was dissatisfied with how Supervisor Zhou and I punished her for her mistakes. She insisted on making a fuss anding to you.¡± Since Chen Ya had been in the workce for a few years and had harmed countless rookies, she knew exactly how to put the me on Mo Yan. On one hand, she had dragged Zhou Shuai down with her and exposed their abuse of power by punishing Mo Yan for her ¡°mistakes¡±. On the other hand, she had slyly used Mo Yan of not obeying management and disregardingpany rules, this made Song Yun feel disgusted. When she said this, Chen Ya thought that Mo Yan would be in trouble after this. However, to her surprise, Song Yun¡¯s tone did not change at all. She nodded and turned to look at Mo Yan, asking, ¡°Do you have anything to say?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Mo Yan replied immediately. Looking at Song Yun¡¯s smiling eyes, Mo Yan pursed her lips and said, ¡°However, I would like to talk to you in private.¡± From the moment she entered the office, she had felt the tension between the two women. Seeing how Chen Ya reacted earlier, she assumed that the rtionship between Chen Ya and Song Yun was not very good. Which boss would be d to have a small supervisor always bossing others around in thepany? Sure enough, after hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Song Yun nodded and ordered, ¡°Then Supervisor Chen, go outside and wait for a while. Have some tea.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

Once she was out of the office and out of Song Yun¡¯s line of sight, Chen Ya¡¯s gaze immediately turned vicious. This damn old woman, she always got involved in everything. Now, she was helping that little bitch Mo Yan. Was she trying to target her and her uncle? Seeing that Mo Yan was so confident, perhaps she had some trump cards. She had to quickly find her uncle to get back at her! As soon as Chen Ya left, Mo Yan took out a recorder pen. It recorded all the audio from the moment Chen Ya called her to the office until now. The recorder¡¯s quality was so good that it even recorded Chen Ya¡¯s cursing through her gritted teeth.. Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. This recorder pen was something that Xu Wan had forced Mo Yan to get after she hadined about Chen Ya to her. She did not expect it toe in handy now. Then, Mo Yan told her everything about Chen Ya¡¯s plot against her in detail. After Mo Yan had told her everything, Song Yun¡¯s expression did not change, which made Mo Yan a little nervous. ¡°So what you¡¯re saying is that Chen Ya wanted to bring you to the deputy general manger just now. So, why did youe to me for help?¡± Song Yun said with a faint smile after reading the n that Mo Yan had brought over. Mo Yan was stunned and said honestly, ¡°I think that Chen Ya can do whatever she wants in thepany because her uncle is the deputy general manger. The only person who can contend with her uncle¡¯s power is you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. However, it¡¯s not that simple.¡± Song Yun looked at her approvingly and continued, ¡°Some people may not have good morals, but they are very capable. What I¡¯m saying is that I cannot fire Chen Ya because of the evidence you provided that she bullies her subordinates. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Of course I understand. I just want justice. It doesn¡¯t matter if I get fired. I¡¯m not asking you to do anything.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s expression turned cold as she quickly exined. ¡°Alright, then you can pretend that this incident never happened and continue working in thepany.¡± Song Yun¡¯s lips curled into a smile as she waved her hand to signal for her to sit down. Seeing Mo Yan sit down in the chair opposite her with some restraint, Song Yun then continued, ¡°I too, know about the things that Chen Ya has done in thepany all these years. You are not her first ¡®victim¡¯, but you are the first person who has dared toin to me.¡± Upon hearing Song Yun use the word in¡¯, Mo Yan could not help but feel a little awkward. Indeed, when faced with the oppression of people with a much higher status than her in thepany, other than comining to someone with an even higher status, there was nothing else she could do. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that young people don¡¯t admit defeat and are motivated. I think highly of you. Compared to those who always suck up to their superiors, the possibilities you bring will be much greater. How about this? Let¡¯s make a deal. I¡¯ll settle this matter for you. As long as you reach the same position as Chen Ya within two months, I will promote you to be my assistant. How about it?¡± After Song Yun finished speaking, she no longer looked at Mo Yan. Instead, she stood up and walked to the window. She looked at the scenery outside the huge French window alone, as if she was waiting for Mo Yan¡¯s response. Mo Yan pursed her lips. Many thoughts shed through her mind. Song Yun, a strong woman who was already managing argepany in her thirties, was undoubtedly the person she admired most. She was also the person that she wanted to be in the future. If she agreed to Song Yun¡¯s deal, not only would she not have to bear the responsibility of this mistake, but she would also not have to lose her job. In the future, she might even be protected by Song Yun and no longer be bullied by Chen Ya. Song Yun¡¯s intention was very clear. Since she and Chen Ya were already feuding, it would be better for them to justpete with each other. After considering Song Yun¡¯s offer, Mo Yan clenched her fists and solemnly agreed, ¡°I ept your offer. Thank you CEO Song, for taking this seriously.¡± Chen Ya called her uncle three times in a row and begged for a long time. The only reply she received was: Endure it first, we¡¯ll deal with it togetherter. Since the people around her weren¡¯t giving her the support that she needed, Chen Ya had no other choice. She waited at the door angrily, cursing Mo Yan a thousand times in her heart. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only When Mo Yan finally came out, Chen Ya¡¯s face darkened and she was about to rush in to argue, but she was stopped by Mo Yan. Mo Yan¡¯s expression was very calm. Looking at Chen Ya¡¯s flustered and exasperated look, she said calmly, ¡°CEO Song has alreadye to conclusion for this matter. Both of us can just write a public review.¡± ¡°You bitch, what did you say to her?¡± Chen Ya gritted her teeth and said in a low voice. She really did not understand. She had set such a big trap for Mo Yan. She should either lose her job, or get a pay cut. How did she get out of this so easily? Raising her eyebrows, Mo Yan pointed at the recorder pen hanging around her neck and advised her very kindly, ¡°Supervisor Chen, be careful of what you say.¡± Chen Ya was lost for words. She could only re at Mo Yan with a hateful gaze.. Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After epting Song Yun¡¯s offer, Mo Yan no longer cared about Chen Ya¡¯s strong hostility towards her. She turned around and left, leaving Chen Ya with a beautiful back view. ¡°Little vixen! I will definitely get you back!¡± Chen Ya was so angry that she tore up the document in her hand and cursed viciously. As soon as she got off work, Mo Yan received the good news that her mother had sessfully completed the first stage of her surgical treatment. She rushed all the way to the hospital. Her mother was lying weakly on the hospital bed, but her eyes were full of vigor. She seemed to be in good spirits. Mo Yan carefully washed her mother¡¯s entire body and fed her a small bowl of chicken soup. Only then did she sit by the hospital bed and have the time to talk to her mother. Mo Yan¡¯s mother was a very gentle woman. Shey quietly on the bed and looked at Mo Yan. Suddenly, she said, ¡°Yan Yan, I am very pleased that you have found a good husband.¡± A good husband? Luo Tao¡¯s appearance suddenly appeared in front of Mo Yan¡¯s eyes. She panicked and almost dropped the apple that she was peeling, on the ground. Then, she pretended to be unbothered and asked, ¡°Mother, have you already met him?¡± She had never mentioned about Luo Tao to her mother. How did shee to the conclusion that she had found a good husband? Mo Yan¡¯s mother patted the back of her handfortingly, she said, ¡°It¡¯s the young man who has been visiting me in the ward the past few days. He calls me ¡®Auntie¡¯ very sweetly. I can tell that he¡¯s a good person. Yan Yan, don¡¯t be nervous.¡± Impossible. Luo Tao did not know about her mother. To Luo Tao, her mother should be Meng Xian. Who else would visit her mother so many times? Mo Yan suddenly thought of something. She took two steps forward and started rummaging through the fruit basket on the bedside table. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. As expected, at the bottom of the fruit basket, there was a card with the words: ¡°Wishing Auntie a speedy recovery!¡± And the person who signed it was ¡°Qin Yuan¡±. He was the young boss whom she had met when she wanted to pawn the jade bracelet. He was also the young master of the Qin family whom Mo Lian had used her of seducing, to force the Mo family to hand over her dowry, Qin Yuan! Mo Yan was so shocked that her jaw dropped. When her mother saw this, she turned her head to look at her and asked in confusion, ¡°Yan Yan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Why would a stranger whom she had only met once suddenly help her wholeheartedly? Mo Yan could not figure out the reason, so she decided to ask Qin Yuan face to face. Shaking her head, Mo Yan smiled and said, ¡°No, Mom, you should rest well. I still have something to do, I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡± After bidding farewell to her mother, Mo Yan rushed to Qin Yuan¡¯s jewelry store. When she arrived at the store and found the cashier who had received her earlier, Mo Yan realized something that she had neglected. It would be hard to see someone like Qin Yuan in such a hurry without an appointment. Sure enough, the cashier said to her with an apologetic face, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Mo, our boss is not in the store today.¡± ¡°Then¡­ can you help me tell him? Tell him that Mo Yan wants to see him,¡± Mo Yan said with some uncertainty. Since Qin Yuan helped her deal with her matter with the Mo family, he would probably be willing to meet her, right? ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll let our boss know,¡± the cashier agreed. At this time, Luo Tao was sitting in the small rented room, looking at the recent internal report of the Huo Corporation sent by his assistant. Although to most people, Huo Zhen had either gone missing or even died, the real Huo Zhen, who had reced Luo Tao¡¯s identity, still kept a close watch on whatever happened in the Huo Corporation. ¡°These old guys, they think I¡¯m dead, and they can¡¯t wait to divide thepany shares.¡± Luo Tao laughed coldly, his voice low and maic. The assistant asked, ¡°Fourth Master Huo, we have all followed your instructions. When can we pull in the ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Let¡¯s wait a little longer. The real big fish hasn¡¯t taken the bait yet.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only After saying this, Luo Tao rubbed his temples and looked at the darkening sky outside the window. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little puzzled. Usually at this time, Mo Yan would have already gotten off work and started cooking. Yet, she still wasn¡¯t home yet. Where did that woman go? The look of Mo Yan wearing an apron and smiling as she asked him what he wanted to eat surfaced in his eyes. The corners of Luo Tao¡¯s mouth subconsciously curled up into a small arc. At this moment, Qin Yuan¡¯s call came. Once the call was connected, Qin Yuan anxiously shouted, ¡°Huo Zhen, what should we do? Sister-inw wants to see me now!¡± Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Now?¡± Luo Tao couldn¡¯t help but ask. Mo Yan iste today because she wants to see another man? Qin Yuan didn¡¯t notice Luo Tao¡¯s subtle annoyance and continued to shout, ¡°Yes! Your wife is waiting in my shop right now! Do I go or not?¡± Without any hesitation, Luo Tao said decisively, ¡°Go quickly, don¡¯t let her wait for too long.¡± After Qin Yuan let out a wail, Luo Tao suddenly remembered something, and his face instantly darkened. As Qin Yuan walked quickly, he muttered, ¡°What should I do? I¡¯m so nervous¡­ Should I change my clothes? This is your wife¡­¡± When he first met Mo Yan, Qin Yuan thought that she was just a mediocre woman who loved vanity, so he didn¡¯t care about her. But after he found out that Mo Yan was Luo Tao¡¯s wife, and Luo Tao even cared about her a little, Qin Yuan was a little flustered. This would be the first time that Qin Yuan met Mo Yan after finding out that she was Luo Tao¡¯s wife. Qin Yuan looked at the few pieces of clothes that the servants brought over and thought hard. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to change clothes! Hurry up and go over!¡± Luo Tao was in a very bad mood. When he thought about how Qin Yuan was misunderstood by the Mo family as Mo Yan¡¯s lover, Luo Tao felt a strange emotion surge up from the bottom of his heart, which made him very annoyed. Just as he was about to throw his phone away and hang up, Luo Tao thought of something and added, ¡°Don¡¯t expose me. You can make things up as you go!¡± After saying that, Luo Tao frowned and hung up the phone. After sitting in the Qin family¡¯s jewelry store for about half an hour, thedy at the counter changed the tea in front of Mo Yan four times before Mo Yan received the news that the boss would be here soon. It was indeed very fast. Not long after, the sound of a sports car¡¯s engine was heard from far away. Then, with a loud braking sound, a mboyant red sports car stopped at the entrance of the shop. The eyes of thedy at the counter lit up, and she quickly guided Mo Yan and said, ¡°Miss Mo, that is our boss¡¯s car.¡± Qin Yuan held the door with one hand and flipped out of the sports car. He even made a prideful gesture. Then, he strode to Mo Yan and said, ¡°Luo Tao¡¯s wife¡­ Ah, no, Miss Mo, Hello.¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t expect to see Qin Yuan looking like this. She was confused, so she frowned and replied, ¡°Hello, Boss Qin.¡± ¡°Uh, are you here to sell bracelets?¡± Qin Yuan remembered Luo Tao¡¯s instructions in his heart, to not mention anything about Huo Zhen. Mo Yan¡¯s expression was indifferent as she said straightforwardly, ¡°The person who forced the Mo family to hand over my dowry to treat my mother¡¯s illness a while ago, and even visited her frequently, was that you?¡± Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he replied, ¡°Yes.¡± After getting a definite answer, Mo Yan¡¯s frown deepened. She asked in a deep voice, ¡°Then may I ask why you are doing this?¡± ¡°Uh, because I want to help you.¡± Qin Yuan scratched his head. Actually, Luo Tao was worried about his wife being bullied, but he didn¡¯t want his wife to worry about being exposed, so he secretly helped her. He even specially ordered Qin Yuan to help her.. ¡°If I remember correctly, this is only the second time we¡¯ve met, right? Have you always been so fond of putting in a lot of effort to help a stranger?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s expression was solemn, her eyes staring straight at him. What Qin Yuan was doing was really abnormal. She knew very well the principle of expecting things back in return. Therefore, she really did not dare to ept Qin Yuan¡¯s help with peace of mind. ¡°Don¡¯t be so serious.¡± Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s expression change, Qin Yuan immediately wanted to exin, but then he remembered Luo Tao¡¯s warning. Thus, he stuttered, ¡°Uh¡­ I¡¯m doing this as a man who has some feelings towards a special woman like you.¡± Qin Yuan had meant to talk about his respect for her. By ¡°special woman¡±, he meant his sister-inw. However, he was at a loss for words, so he didn¡¯t say anything clearly. However, when Mo Yan heard these words, she assumed that he was interested in her. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan¡¯s face instantly darkened and she said sternly, ¡°Boss Qin, please don¡¯t forget that I have a husband!¡± Qin Yuan was stunned by her words and he subconsciously replied, ¡°I know. It¡¯s okay.¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. His brain was very simple. He was just taking care of his friend¡¯s wife since his friend did not want his wife to know that he was helping her. What¡¯s the problem? He didn¡¯t mind at all! Seeing Qin Yuan not take her marriage seriously, Mo Yan instantly became even angrier. Her entire face was flushed red from anger.. Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s flushed face and fiery eyes, Qin Yuan realized that something was wrong. He tried to appease her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, don¡¯t be angry with me. I can buy you a bag¡­¡± Qin Yuan was used to appeasing girls by buying them things. It was useless to Mo Yan who was offended. Mo Yan found that although Qin Yuan¡¯s words were a little insensitive, he was physically very well- behaved. He had no intention of molesting her. Mo Yan calmed down and took a deep breath, she said, ¡°Boss Qin, regardless of your intentions for helping me, I will first thank you for your good intentions. Because of you, my mother has the money for her surgery. You are our family¡¯s benefactor. But¡­¡± Mo Yan¡¯s tone changed, she said coldly, ¡°I am already married. I love my husband very much. Please don¡¯t have any other wicked thoughts! Think of it as you just lent me money. I will definitely return it to you as soon as possible with interest!¡± After saying that, Mo Yan picked up her bag and stood up to leave. Luo Tao paced around the house in a frustrated mood, but he could not tell what exactly he was unhappy about. Just as he was in a dilemma, Qin Yuan called him again. ¡°Huo Zhen, what should we do? Your wife scolded me and left in a huff!¡± Qin Yuan whined on the other end of the phone. ¡°She¡¯s angry? Did you bully her?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice suddenly turned cold as he said in a low voice. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t do anything! She told me not to have any wicked thoughts and said that the money would be returned to me with interest!¡± Qin Yuan was shocked and quickly exined. Mo Yan told Qin Yuan not to have any wicked thoughts? Luo Tao was stunned when he heard that. He suddenly felt that the frustration in his heart had lessened a lot. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What did she say to you?¡± Luo Tao asked. ¡°Uh, she first thanked me for my kindness and said that I was her family¡¯s benefactor. She also said that she was married and that she loved her husband very much or something.¡± Qin Yuan tried hard to recall. Suddenly, recalling what she said, he said in surprise, ¡°Does she really think of me as her benefactor?¡± Hearing Qin Yuan¡¯s nonsensical words, the corner of Luo Tao¡¯s mouth twitched, and he hung up the phone without saying a word. However, after hanging up the phone, he recalled what Mo Yan had said, ¡°I love my husband very much.¡± He could not help but chuckle. What a silly and innocent woman! Luo Tao¡¯s mood suddenly improved, so he decided to tidy up the house, mop the floor, and clean the windows. When Mo Yan returned home, she saw Luo Tao wiping his hands and sitting on the sofa. Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were smiling. Just as he was about to talk to Mo Yan, he saw Mo Yan put her hands on her hips with an unpleasant expression and scolded, ¡°Luo Tao, you¡¯ve been at home all day. Can¡¯t you cook dinner at night?¡± Luo Tao was stunned. Then, he stood up and said innocently, ¡°Didn¡¯t youe back to cook?¡± Moreover, he didn¡¯t know how to cook at all! In the past, when he was alone in the small vige, he would just cook random ingredients, and ate them. Hearing this, Mo Yan became even angrier. Today, in thepany, Chen Ya bullied her and made her suffer for a whole day. Then, she learned about what Qin Yuan had done and became even angrier. She previously thought that her father paid for her mother¡¯s treatment because he had a conscience. However, she found out that it was actually because Qin Yuan forced him to! Thinking of this, Mo Yan felt wronged and angry. Moreover, having to cook dinner right after she came home? This was so unfair! Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Hence, Mo Yan scolded again, ¡°I do everything at home. Even if you don¡¯t work, you should at least split the housework with me! I work very hard every day and I even get bullied by other people. I¡­¡± As she spoke, Mo Yan felt more and more wronged. Tears fell down, and crystal clear tears flowed down her fair cheeks. It was the first time that he saw Mo Yan Cry. Luo Tao was so scared and he didn¡¯t know what to do. He quickly went to get a tissue and tried to say something incoherently, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s irresponsible for me not to go out to work?¡± Seeing Luo Tao rush to get a tissue, Mo Yan took it and wiped her tears. She pursed her lips and was worried that Luo Tao would me himself. She exined, ¡°I¡¯m notining that you don¡¯t go out to work. In this society, it¡¯s normal for women to work outside while men do housework at home. It¡¯s just that since we¡¯re husband and wife, we should cooperate and live a good life together.¡± ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right.¡± Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s clear and clean eyes after she finished crying, Luo Tao felt his heart ache. He helped her wipe away her remaining tears and answered obediently.. Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Yan burst into tears and let out all the frustrations in her heart. Only then did she feel much better. At this moment, she saw that Luo Tao was not so angry anymore, so, she told him everything that happened in thepany today. Of course, she omitted the things that happened in the hospital and the Qin family¡¯s jewelry store. These were things that Luo Tao could not know. ¡°CEO Song gave me an opportunity. I must fight for myself. As long as I work hard, the more I do, the more money I will earn.¡± Mo Yan clenched her fists and said with high morale. Luo Tao secretly remembered the name of the arrogant and domineering female supervisor, Chen Ya. He replied calmly, ¡°Okay, I believe you.¡± Mo Yan nodded, stood up, and put on her apron. She suddenly found that the floor was spotless and extremely clean. She could not help but be stunned for a moment. Luo Tao followed her gaze and deliberately said in a somewhat aggrieved tone, ¡°It¡¯s not like I did nothing at home today. I mopped the floor and even cleaned the windows.¡± After saying that, Luo Tao could not help butugh and shake his head helplessly. He had always been an autocratic and upromising person. But now, just to get sympathy from Mo Yan, he say so. Mo Yan realized that she had wronged Luo Tao and felt a little ashamed. Her ears turned red. She blinked and said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I was wrong.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s not like I told you anyway.¡± Luo Tao shook his head. Seeing how Luo Tao was understanding of her, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but smile. She used to think that Luo Tao was cold and unsmiling, but at this moment, he looked quite cute. She couldn¡¯t help but jump in front of Luo Tao and hug him tightly. After hugging him, Mo Yan¡¯s face turned red. She turned around and slipped into the kitchen to cook. When it was dark and Mo Yan was ready to go to bed after taking a shower, Luo Tao went out and prepared to go running. Even after moving to the city, Luo Tao still had the habit of exercising. However, he now only ran during the early morning andte night when few people were around. While jogging, Luo Tao called his assistant. ¡°Yes, Fourth Master Huo.¡± ¡°Any updates on the investigation on the supervisor of Mo Yan¡¯spany, Chen Ya, and the general manager, Song Yun?¡± Luo Tao adjusted his breathing while jogging and asked in a deep voice. ¡°Chen Ya is the niece of the deputy general manager of Mo Yan¡¯spany, Chen Kang. She was promoted by Chen Kang as she was his rtive. She is in a rtionship with another supervisor, Zhou Shuai. Zhou Shuai is Mo Yan¡¯s university ssmate, and he once pursued her. And as for the general manager, Song Yun, there¡¯s nothing to report, she and Mo Yan are on good terms¡± the assistant replied. This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Mm. Firstly, meet Song Yun secretly and ask her to help take good care of Mo Yan¡± Luo Tao pondered for a moment and suddenly had an idea. He continued, ¡°Forget it, you don¡¯t have to do this. Tell Qin Yuan about this matter and ask him to meet Song Yun for me.¡± After exining everything, Luo Tao ran a few more rounds before returning home. When he reached home, Mo Yan had already fallen asleep. There was a smallmp left on in the living room for him. Luo Tao quickly took a shower and entered his room. Ever since they moved, the two of them had split bedrooms. However, Luo Tao felt that the quality of his sleep was not as good as when they were in the brick house in the countryside. After they had split bedrooms, it was no longer simple wooden boards that separated them. Instead, they now had thick walls. Now, he could not hear Mo Yan¡¯s soft breathing when she slept. Luo Tao tossed and turned for a long time before he finally fell asleep. At the morning meeting of thepany on Monday, Mo Yan finished reading the review that she had written under the witness of dozens of people in the sales department. After she finished reading, Chen Ya also walked up to the stage with a livid expression. She gritted her teeth and read her review about management negligence. When she finished reading and left the stage, Chen Ya felt dozens of pairs of eyes staring at her, mocking her. After walking stiffly back to the office, Chen Ya was so angry that she started scolding Mo Yan again. What she felt towards Mo Yan now was hatred. She hated her so much that she wished that her bones would be crushed and ashes scattered! Supervisor Zhou held her shoulders andforted her, ¡°It¡¯s okay, Chen Ya.

Chen Ya, let¡¯s not lower ourselves to the level of people who rely on their connections to get to the top,¡± Zhou Shuai advised again. Song Yun silently watched Mo Yan and Chen Ya take turns to read their reviews before leaving. Her assistant hurried over and reported, ¡°CEO Song, the young master of the Qin family who made an appointment to meet you has arrived.¡± ¡°Well, let¡¯s go.¡± Song Yun nodded.. Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Qin Yuan had learned his lesson from thest time. This time, he followed Luo Tao¡¯s instructions and dressed very low-key. When he entered Mo Yan¡¯spany, he was even almost stopped by the security guards. When Song Yun arrived at the reception room, Qin Yuan took off his sunsses and nced at Song Yun before standing up to shake her hand. Song Yun smiled very politely. After the two of them sat down, she asked in puzzlement, ¡°Young Master Qin, what brings you here?¡± Although Song Yun¡¯spany was famous in the industry, it was still inferior to the Qin family¡¯s business, which was far bigger. She was very self-aware. The young master of the Qin family, Qin Yuan, definitely did note here to discuss business. ¡°Haha, I¡¯ll go straight to the point then.¡± Qin Yuanughed. He knew that Song Yun was also a transparent person, so he went straight to the point. ¡°I¡¯m here to make a deal with you.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Song Yun raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised. ¡°You have an employee under you named Mo Yan, is that right?¡± ¡°Yes, she¡¯s very good. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Song Yun vaguely had a premonition. ¡°Mo Yan is my sister-inw. Since you have been taking care of her and you are only slightly older than me, I¡¯ll speakfortably.¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s face revealed a smile that no woman could refuse, he said straightforwardly. Song Yun also smiled and asked, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that Mo Yan was already married. May I know who her husband is?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t reveal who he is. In any case, he¡¯s like a brother to me. He¡¯s a person of high status. He can cause the capital to tremble with a stomp of his foot.¡± Qin Yuan deliberately kept her in suspense. Then, he moved closer to Song Yun and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m here to ask you to help take good care of my sister-inw.. Don¡¯t let her be bullied in thepany. As for her sry, please pay her more.¡± Seeing that Song Yun was a little surprised, Qin Yuan added, ¡°Of course, I will also be investing in your company. I would just like a small portion to be given to Mo Yan. The rest will be my gift to you.¡± Song Yun did not immediately agree. She looked at Qin Yuan¡¯s expression and was very surprised. How much of a big shot was Mo Yan¡¯s husband to have the young master of the Qin family personally come to ask her to take care of her? If he was really an extremely honorable person, why hasn¡¯t Mo Yan brought him up yet? Sensing Song Yun¡¯s doubt, Qin Yuan took a sip of tea and said, ¡°I can¡¯t tell you the reason behind this, but I have a small request. I hope that you will keep this a secret and not let my sister-inw find out. If you take good care of her¡­¡± He winked at Song Yun and said meaningfully, ¡°My big brother will definitely remember your favor.¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Although she had many doubts in her heart, the deal Qin Yuan proposed was undoubtedly a good deal for a businesswoman like Song Yun. Therefore, Song Yun also smiled and said, ¡°Alright, then thank you for your kindness.¡± After reaching an agreement with Song Yun, Qin Yuan whistled and left the room. He wanted to take the stairs and sneak to Mo Yan¡¯s ce of work to secretly take a few photos for Huo Zhen to see. Huo Zhen was such a stuffy and stubborn person, but he would definitely be happy to see Mo Yan¡¯s photos, right? Just as Qin Yuan was fantasizing about receiving Huo Zhen¡¯s praise and was about to reach the sales department¡¯s floor in a good mood, he saw an unexpected scene. After the morning meeting ended, Mo Yan returned to her work station. Zhu Zhu, whose desk was next to Mo Yan¡¯s, excitedly said to her, ¡°Yan Yan, you¡¯re so amazing. You actually managed to get back at Chen Ya!¡± Mo Yan smiled at her and did not answer. Instead, she focused on her own work. Seeing Chen Ya, who always liked to bully others, make a fool of herself, Zhu Zhu was very excited the entire morning. From time to time, she woulde over and gossip with Mo Yan. ¡°Mo Yan, let me tell you, when Chen Ya and Supervisor Zhou got together¡­¡± Just as Zhu Zhu was about to start gossiping, she saw a figure behind Mo Yan and was suddenly frightened into silence. ¡°Sup¡­ Supervisor Zhou!¡± Zhu Zhu stuttered.

She moved her body a few times in disgust and then heard Zhou Shuai ask, ¡°Zhu Zhu, what are you talking about with Mo Yan?¡± Zhou Shuai had caught her badmouthing him and Chen Ya. Zhu Zhu was so nervous that she immediately retreated to her work station. ¡°Nothing!¡± Zhou Shuai nodded and said in a clear voice, ¡°Mo Yan, I don¡¯t remember where I put some of the clients¡¯ information. Help me look for them.¡± It was a legitimate and reasonable reason, so Zhu Zhu did not think it was strange. However, Mo Yan subconsciously felt a little nauseous. Feeling Zhou Shuai¡¯s wild and wanton gaze on her, Mo Yan felt conflicted and refused, ¡°I still have some things to do. Supervisor Zhou, look for it yourself..¡± Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio ¡°Mo Yan, when your supervisor at work asks you to do something, how can you say no?¡± Zhou Shuai said with a faint smile. Chen Ya was not in thepany, so he was more bold in asking her to go with him. Mo Yan bit her lips and still refused, ¡°I¡¯m helping CEO Song with something. What is she going to say if I stop doing what she has told me to do, to help you?¡± ¡°What do you mean? I just need your help to find some things, why are you involving CEO Song? Mo Yan, do you not think of yourself as a member of the sales department anymore?¡± Zhou Shuai deliberately raised his voice a few degrees. It attracted the attention of the surrounding colleagues. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Hearing the discussions around her, Mo Yan clenched her fists. However, since she had no evidence of Zhou Shuai harassing her, she could not exin herself. At this moment, she was in a dilemma. Seeing that Mo Yan was in a tough spot, Supervisor Zhou deliberately softened his tone and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. It won¡¯t take long to just find some information.¡± Having said that, Mo Yan had no other choice. She could only stand up vigntly and leave with Supervisor Zhou. She decided that if Supervisor Zhou tried anything funny, she would call her colleagues over and expose his true nature to thepany. However, Zhou Shuai brought her further and further away from everyone else. He even said, ¡°The warehouse in thepany is more remote. We are almost there.¡± As he said that, a cunning look shed across Zhou Shuai¡¯s eyes. The image of him touching Mo Yan appeared in his mind. Mo Yan had long realized that this wasn¡¯t the route to the warehouse. She secretly turned on her recorder pen and acted as if she did not know his intentions as she replied, ¡°Okay.¡± They soon reached the entrance of a passageway that was covered in dust. Very rarely did peoplee here. Then, Supervisor Zhou stopped his pretense and turned around abruptly. He wanted to hug Mo Yan. ¡°Mo Yan, I just know that you must¡¯ve missed me so much¡­¡± Mo Yan took a few steps back and scolded, ¡°Supervisor Zhou! What will happen if Chen Ya finds out that you¡¯re doing this?¡± ¡°She won¡¯t find out. I¡¯ve already cheated on her many times. You¡¯re next. Hehehe.¡± Zhou Shuaiughed lewdly and took a few more steps forward, teasing Mo Yan. Mo Yan turned around and entered the passageway. Looking at the long flights of stairs below, she said, ¡°If I call someone over, your reputation will be ruined.¡± Zhou Shuaiughed out loud and did not stop his footsteps from approaching Mo Yan. He said smugly, ¡°Call them then. Look, when theye, they will only call you an indecent whore.¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t you just listen to me? I will make you feel very good.¡± Zhou Shuai looked at Mo Yan¡¯s chest even though she was wearing a business suit and almost drooled. At this moment, Mo Yan was already at the edge of the stairs. She secretly clenched the box cutter in her palm and was about to stab Zhou Shuai when something unexpected happened. A leg suddenly appeared and kicked Zhou Shuai¡¯s waist, sending him flying to the wall. Mo Yan was shocked and turned to look. Qin Yuan pped his hands and cursed, ¡°Damned hooligan.¡± Then, Qin Yuan grinned and said to Mo Yan, ¡°I look cool, right?¡± He was going down the stairs when he saw a man harassing Mo Yan. How could he just ignore the situation? He rushed down and kicked the wretched man away. If Huo Zhen knew that he had saved Mo Yan, wouldn¡¯t he be even more grateful to him? Zhou Shuai, who had been kicked away, had fallen to the ground. His head had unfortunately hit the wall, and he was crying out in pain. Mo Yan looked at Qin Yuan who had suddenly appeared and was a little speechless. She put the box cutter back into her pocket and asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Qin Yuan scratched his head and said, ¡°I¡¯m here for business.¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you take the elevator? Why did you take such a remote staircase?¡± Mo Yan frowned. ¡°I just wanted to walk a little, can¡¯t I? Didn¡¯t I just save you?¡± Qin Yuan was worried that Mo Yan would not believe his excuse, so he deliberately showed Mo Yan a muscle-flexing action. The corners of Mo Yan¡¯s mouth twitched. She thought to herself that Qin Yuan¡¯s body was nothing compared to Luo Tao¡¯s. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Okay, Mo Yan. You go ahead first. I¡¯m not done with him yet.¡± Qin Yuan patted his chest and said. Although he was suspicious, under Qin Yuan¡¯s repeated persuasion, Mo Yan left and went back to her work station. Qin Yuan wasn¡¯t able to take some pictures of Mo Yan working, as he wanted. However, he was able to take a few photos of Mo Yan¡¯s back as she left. He also took a few photos of the lewd man and sent them to Huo Zhen. His caption was: Today, I showed off my skills and subdued the hooligan who was harassing Mo Yan. I did good right? After sending the photos, Qin Yuan squatted down beside Supervisor Zhou who was lying on the ground. He smiled evilly and said, ¡°Damn hooligan, how shameless.. How dare you touch Mo Yan? Guess what I am going to do to you now?¡± Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Zhou Shuai spat at him and scolded back, ¡°How dare you speak to me like that, you sneaky photographer!¡± ¡°Oh, are you sure you want to fight with me? Do you know who I am?¡± Qin Yuan reached out and pinched Zhou Shuai¡¯s mouth, causing him to cry out in pain. After receiving the messages from Qin Yuan, Luo Tao went straight to Mo Yan¡¯spany. After meeting Qin Yuan who was waiting at the passageway, Luo Tao walked towards Zhou Shuai, who was already subdued. Qin Yuan looked around Luo Tao curiously and said in surprise, ¡°Fourth Brother, why are you dressed so shabbily? Didn¡¯t you only wear custom-made clothes in the past?¡± Seeing Luo Tao walk away without paying attention to him, Qin Yuan bent down and pulled on Luo Tao¡¯s pants while walking. He said in disdain, ¡°What kind of cheap clothes are these? You even bought counterfeits. Hurry up and throw them away.¡± Luo Tao lowered his head to take a look and then said indifferently, ¡°It was Mo Yan who bought them for me.¡± In an instant, Qin Yuan went quiet and did not dare to say a word. Luo Tao squatted in front of Zhou Shuai, whose hands and feet were tied, and mouth was stuffed with a sock. There were several palm prints on his face. Qin Yuan pulled out the sock that was stuffed in Zhou Shuai¡¯s mouth and put it into his pocket with disdain. Then, Zhou Shuai twisted his body and scolded, ¡°Who are you people? How dare you do this to me in mypany. I¡¯m going to call the police!¡± ¡°Who are we people?¡± Luo Tao frowned and stared at him in disgust. His tone was indifferent. Zhou Shuai looked at the tall man in front of him. He was wearing a mask, only his eyes could be seen. His disgusted expression, however, could clearly be seen. Zhou Shuai subconsciously lowered his head and almost peed his pants. ¡°Do you think Mo Yan is someone whom you can touch?¡± Luo Tao took out the tiger finger puppet that he had prepared from his pocket and put it on his hand. Qin Yuan was a little afraid when he saw this. He could not help but advise, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t kill him. It¡¯ll be troublesome if someone finds out.¡± If word got out and Huo Zhen was exposed, his enemies would find out that he was alive. Luo Tao¡¯s voice was indifferent. ¡°I know.¡± Seeing the two of them talking about his life and death so coldly, Supervisor Zhou was anxious. He struggled with all his might and said, ¡°This is a society ruled byw! You¡¯ll go to jail if you kill me!¡± It was a pity that the ce he chose to vite Mo Yan was so remote. Even if he shouted with all his might, no one would be able to hear him. Luo Tao¡¯s gaze was cold. He waved at Qin Yuan, signaling him to turn around. Then, he said, ¡°I am disgusted by people like you, how dare you actually touch her?¡± Then, waves of heart-wrenching screams and the sound of flesh and liquid came out from Zhou Shuai. Qin Yuan couldn¡¯t endure the sounds, so he reached out to cover his ears. Ever since Mo Yan returned to her desk, she had not seen Zhou Shuai. Soon, it was the end of the work day. She still had not heard anything about Zhou Shuai. Sighing, Mo Yan walked out of thepany. Just as she was about to walk home, she suddenly saw Luo Tao¡¯s figure when she walked past a street corner. Luo Tao was standing under a tree, wearing a mask, and looking at her quietly. Mo Yan jogged over and asked while panting slightly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wait for me in thepany lobby? There¡¯s air conditioner there.¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Luo Tao reached out and took her bag naturally. He held her hand and said, ¡°There are too many people there.¡± Too many people? Could it be that Luo Tao was afraid of being seen by others and felt inferior? After a moment of silence, Mo Yan said softly, ¡°My colleagues know that I have a husband. You can come and pick me up openly.¡± Luo Tao smiled slightly and did not answer. The next day, Mo Yan had just walked to her work station when Zhu Zhu pulled her to the side. Zhu Zhu said mysteriously, ¡°Yan Yan, do you know what terrifying thing just happened in thepany?¡± Mo Yan frowned slightly and asked in puzzlement, ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Supervisor Zhou almost died in thepany yesterday! He was discovered by the patrolling security guards at night. He had crawled out of a passageway and dragged his blood with him. Some of his guts were even poured out from his body!¡± Zhu Zhu said with her eyes wide open. Qin Yuan actually beat up Zhou Shuai so badly? Mo Yan¡¯s breathing stopped and her body stiffened.

I think that he must have encountered a ghost!¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Seeing Zhu Zhu¡¯s serious look, Mo Yan¡¯s smile disappeared. She imagined how Zhou Shuai¡¯s intestines would look like poured out from his body, and subconsciously trembled. ¡°Alright, Zhu Zhu, quickly go do your work before Supervisor Chenes and scolds you again.¡± Mo Yan saw that Zhu Zhu still wanted to continue gossiping, so she immediately persuaded her. Zhu Zhu stuck out her tongue at her before returning to her work station. Although Qin Yuan was the one who beat up Zhou Shuai, it was still because of her. Mo Yan could not help but feel guilty. During Mo Yan¡¯s break time, she walked to the small balcony and called Qin Yuan.. Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Mo Yan exchange contact information with Qin Yuan when he happened to save her yesterday. Mo Yan held her phone nervously. Once the call was connected, she asked, ¡°What did you do to Supervisor Zhou?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just punched him a few times,¡± Qin Yuan said innocently. Huo Zhen was the one who attacked him yesterday. He really didn¡¯t do anything. ¡°Then why did I hear that Supervisor Zhou was almost beaten to death?¡± Mo Yan asked with a frown. He had expected Mo Yan to ask about this. Qin Yuan followed Huo Zhen¡¯s words and said, ¡°Oh, there¡¯s just a few bumps on his head. He might have also fainted for a while. It¡¯s not that serious. Don¡¯t listen to rumors. Supervisor Zhou didn¡¯t even call the police. It means that he wasn¡¯t hurt too bad. He¡¯s just ashamed of himself.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Mo Yan heard what Qin Yuan said and thought it through. She realized that it made sense. ¡°Of course! Hey, I¡¯m busy right now. I¡¯ll hang up first.¡± Without waiting for Mo Yan to ask more questions, Qin Yuan hung up the phone in a hurry. After knowing that Qin Yuan didn¡¯t almost kill him, Mo Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She didn¡¯t feel sorry for Zhou Shuai, but she was worried that Qin Yuan had gone too far. If the police were to investigate what had happened, not only would she have to pay a fine, but she would also have to go to jail. If Luo Tao were to find out about this, he would be so sad and me himself. With this thought in mind, Mo Yan was about to walk back to her work station. However, when she opened the door of the small balcony, she met Chen Ya. Chen Ya¡¯s face was livid. Her eyes were fixed on her face. The veins on her forehead were popping out as she asked, ¡°What did you say on the phone just now?¡± Mo Yan did not know how much of the conversation between her and Qin Yuan that Chen Ya had heard, so she could only say with a cold face, ¡°Supervisor Chen, I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡± ¡°Supervisor Zhou was beaten up. Is It rted to you?¡± Chen Ya took a step closer and asked sternly. Shrugging her shoulders, Mo Yan replied, ¡°Oh, so Supervisor Zhou couldn¡¯te to work because he was beaten up. Thank you for telling me.¡± Chen Ya was speechless, and her long nails dug into her palms. After saying that, Mo Yan walked pass her and went straight back to her work station. It was only the start of the day but she already had to deal with Chen Ya and Zhou Shuai¡¯s matters. Mo Yan was in a bad mood. Fortunately, in the afternoon, Song Yun¡¯s assistant handed her a pay slip, indicating that Song Yun had personally seen it. ¡°Eighty-six thousand yuan? How is it so much?¡± Mo Yan cried out in surprise. When she realized that her other colleagues were looking over, she couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth. The assistant smiled warmly and said, ¡°CEO Song said that you helped herplete many difficult projects, so there should be amission. This amount is urate.¡± After confirming it for Mo Yan, the eighty-six thousand yuan sry was quickly transferred into Mo Yan¡¯s ount. In less than 20 days into her new job, she was already able to get a sry of more than 80,000 yuan. Mo Yan was dazed by the sudden joy, and she immediately started fantasizing about how her life would be like when she got rich. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. She wanted to take Luo Tao on a trip, and treat him to a big meal. Very quickly, her bubble was burst, because she remembered that she still owed Qin Yuan more than 500,000 yuan. With a sigh, Mo Yan transferred 80,000 yuan to Qin Yuan and left 6,000 yuan for her and Luo Qin. When she got off work, Mo Yan saw Luo Tao in herpany lobby to pick her up. She immediately waved her hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll treat you to a big meal today!¡± Luo Tao knew that Mo Yan had money because he was the one who asked Qin Yuan to get a pay raise for Mo Yan. However, on the surface, he pretended to know nothing. He asked with a smile, ¡°Is it payday? You¡¯re so happy.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Yan nodded, then took the initiative to hold Luo Tao¡¯s hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to a meal today. You can choose to eat whatever you want!¡± With a smile at the corner of his mouth, Luo Tao followed her and said, ¡°You are so generous. Let¡¯s go to the restaurant by the river.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan agreed readily. She hailed a taxi and rushed to the restaurant by the river with Luo Tao. Once they reached the ce, Mo Yan was dumbfounded. The ce Luo Tao picked was actually the most luxurious restaurant in the city, the Alliston Music Restaurant! A meal here could easily start from tens of thousands of yuan. How could a poor working ss person like her afford it? Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s bitter expression, Luo Taoughed in his heart. He wanted Mo Yan to embarrass herself because of herck of money so that she would be forced to confess her real identity.. Thus, he said nonchntly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? I heard that your family has always liked to eat in this restaurant?¡± Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Chapter 41 You¡¯re So Handsome Mo Yan opened her mouth and swallowed hard. She forced a smile and said, ¡°It tastes okay. How about we eat something else today?¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled gently at Mo Yan. ¡°I want to know more about you, such as your past, your taste.¡± ¡°Ah! I see!¡± Mo Yan stuttered and replied. Only she knew how regretful she was at that moment for making such a big promise. Was this considered as throwing a stone at her own feet? Or did she have to honor her words and pay her debts? As she calcted the bnce in the card, the little person in Mo Yan¡¯s mind gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. In the end, she decided to fulfill Luo Tao¡¯s wish. Ever since the two of them got married, he had been amodating to her a lot. There was no reason for her to reject such a small request like eating, moreover, it was because he wanted to understand her. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already said so, I¡¯ll take you out for a meal no matter what.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s words had the tragic feeling of a hero clenching his wrist. Luo Tao could not help but tilt his head slightly when he heard it. The corners of his mouth could not stop smiling. How could this woman be so cute. Holding onto Luo Tao¡¯s arm, Mo Yan secretly took a breath. Taking 6,000 yuan toe here to spend money, she was really a sucker. Allison Music Restaurant was worthy of its reputation, all the receptionists, regardless of expression or bearing, were at the pinnacle of the service industry. Even if the two were dressed in cheap clothes and did not wear any expensive essories, they would not treat the guests differently. The waiter respectfully led the two to their seats, handed them the menu and stood aside, waiting for the guests to inquire. In front of the piano at the side of the restaurant, the pianist was ying ¡°Annie¡¯s Wondend.¡±. The soothing and gentle music and the quiet and elegant environment seemed to really bring people into a fairnd. It was peaceful and beautiful, just like the Garden of Eden in a fairy tale. This made Mo Yan unconsciously rx a little. Since she was already here, she would just take it as it was. At most, after this meal, she would see if she could find another part-time job to do. As she was thinking, Mo Yan shifted her gaze to Luo Tao, who was opposite her. At this time, Luo Tao had already ordered the food and was asking her what she wanted to eat. Mo Yan casually replied, just like him. Following that, she was deeply looked at by Luo Tao, and this nce made Mo Yan feel a little baffled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Yan asked. Luo Tao smiled at the silly woman opposite him and said, ¡°The food I ordered just now seems a little expensive.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks As soon as he said this, Mo Yan¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself that it was not good, but she still forced a smile and said, ¡°Expensive, how much is it?¡± ¡°It seems to be a few thousand? Or more than 10,000 yuan? I can¡¯t remember it clearly.¡± Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s changing expression, Luo Tao felt that his mood was getting better. Seeing her pretend to be calm to satisfy him made him unable to stop. After waiting for a while, Luo Tao, who had admired Mo Yan¡¯s expression enough, said again, ¡°I¡¯m joking, it¡¯s not that expensive.¡± Mo Yan was stunned for a moment before she realized that the other party was teasing her. After ring at the man, Mo Yan thought about it and looked at the man again. She kept feeling that something was wrong. From the moment he entered the restaurant, Luo Tao was like a fish in water. He was sofortable with everything. Had Luo Tao been here before? ording to his family, that shouldn¡¯t be the case! Just like that, Mo Yan stared at Luo Tao¡¯s face in a daze. She did not know if it was because she was used to getting along with him or because she had never noticed him before, but Luo Tao¡¯s face was actually so pleasing to the eye. His skin was not as rough as those hooligans in the vige. Instead, his every movement had an inexplicable attraction. ¡°What are you looking at?¡±Luo Tao asked the person opposite him. This was a ce that he was familiar with. Being here made him feel very rxed. After a short while, a gentle voice sounded, ¡°Are you really Luo Tao?¡± Mo Yan looked at him with a somewhat dull gaze, as if she was in a trance. It was just a question that was unconsciously raised because of his question. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao and Mo Yan looked at each other, and their brows slightly furrowed. He didn¡¯t get Mo Yan¡¯s words out, and instead, he revealed a w? ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Luo Tao didn¡¯t answer Mo Yan, and asked back. At this moment, Luo Tao shifted his gaze away from Mo Yan. He could not reveal his identity yet. It would be more convenient for him to use the name Luo Tao as a cover to investigate some things. Mo Yan was awakened by his question. She blinked her eyes and said, ¡°Ah! It¡¯s nothing, I was just talking to myself. I just thought that since you are so handsome and have such a good temperament, could it be that you are a young master of another family, who was left behind?¡± Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Chapter 42 You¡¯re Willing to? Mo Yan did not notice Luo Tao¡¯s abnormality. As she spoke, she was amused, secretly teasing herself for thinking too much. When he heard Mo Yan¡¯sughter, the corners of Luo Tao¡¯s mouth also curled up slightly. ¡°If I¡¯m really a rich young master, you¡¯ll be a young madam. I will bring you here every day.¡± ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right.¡± Mo Yan smiled so much that her eyes were curved. It was extremely bright and beautiful. Her cute appearance made everyone who saw her unconsciously smile along with her. At this time, the waiter served their dishes. The delicious food greatly stimted one¡¯s appetite. Delicious food could make people forget all their worries. Whether it was the expensive price or Luo Tao¡¯s performance, they were all thrown to the back of Mo Yan¡¯s mind at this moment. After swallowing a mouthful of steak, Mo Yan let out a satisfied sigh. It was really delicious! ¡°Looks like you like it.¡± ¡°Mm, it¡¯s delicious.¡± Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but say. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Luo Tao then began to eat quietly. The piano music changed from ¡°Annie¡¯s Wondend¡± to ¡°Adeline by The Water¡±. It was about a beautiful love story with a touching melody. A long time ago, there was a lonely king who sculpted a beautiful girl and looked at her every day. Inevitably, he fell in love with the girl¡¯s sculpture. He prayed to the gods and looked forward to the miracle of love. His sincerity and persistence finally touched the God of love, who then gave life to the sculpture. ¡°Adeline by The Water.¡± was about the hope and desire for love. Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao. Could she also have a little hope for love this man? However, when she thought of this, Mo Yan was stunned, and then she slowly lowered her head. How could she be thinking about these things? Perhaps the romantic atmosphere was causing her to have unrealistic fantasies. Her mother was still in the hospital, and she still had so many debts to pay off. How could she possibly think about these things? With a long sigh, Mo Yan suddenly felt that these iparably delicious food were difficult to swallow. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Sensing Mo Yan¡¯s mood change, Luo Tao put down the cutlery in his hand, and indicated to Mo Yan that he needed to go to the bathroom before leaving his seat. Walking to the corner of the dining room, Luo Tao took out his cell phone and dialed Qin Yuan¡¯s number. ¡°Brother Huo, that was quick!¡± Qin Yuan eximed on the other side of the phone. Luo Tao had seen a message from Qin Yuan. The message mentioned the food that the two of them had ordered and Qin Yuan¡¯s teasing of the two of them. However, what Luo Tao cared about was not these, but how Qin Yuan knew that the two of them were here. ¡°How did you know that Mo Yan and I were in Allison Music Restaurant?¡± Upon hearing Huo Zhen¡¯s tone, Qin Yuan hurriedly said, ¡°Allison Music Restaurant is owned by my cousin¡¯s family. He told me that he saw someone who looked very simr to you. I asked him to send me a photo to take a look.¡± Just now, he did sense that someone was looking at him. However, that gaze did not have any malicious intent, so he ignored it. ¡°Does that mean your cousin knows that I¡¯m still alive?¡± Luo Tao asked as he thought about how to resolve this matter. The fewer people who knew that he was still alive, the better. Qin Yuan and Huo Zhen had been best friends for many years. Just from his tone, he could tell that he was in a bad mood, he quickly opened his mouth to cover for his cousin, ¡°He just said it out of the blue and told me that it was the first time he saw someone so simr to you. But he knew that you didn¡¯t like this kind of restaurant, so he didn¡¯t think much of it when he saw youe here.¡± After thinking about Qin Yuan¡¯s words, he felt that it was possible. Although he often had to go to such ces during social gatherings, he didn¡¯t really like them. ¡°Besides, you brought Mo Yan along. Who would have thought that our young master Huo would have a wife so soon? No one would think that you¡¯re Huo Zhen,¡± Qin Yuan added. Luo Tao nodded and epted his exnation.

You¡¯re having a lot of fun, huh?¡± Luo Tao held his phone and looked at Mo Yan who was eating not far away. His expression darkened. Was he smiling happily at her? ¡°I¡¯m not really happy. I just assumed Luo Tao¡¯s identity and I¡¯m treating his wife well. When the time is right, I¡¯ll leave.¡± ¡°You¡¯re willing to?¡± Qin Yuan did not say much, but his three short words struck a chord in Huo Zhen¡¯s heart. After sorting out his thoughts, Huo Zhen put on Luo Tao¡¯s mask again. Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Unspoken Words ¡°Qin Yuan, do you have nothing better to do?¡± Luo Tao asked. Qin Yuan felt a chill down his spine when he heard this question. He quickly smiled and said, ¡°Do you want me to tell my cousin to give you two a free meal?¡± ¡°With what reason?¡± Luo Tao knew that Mo Yan did not have much money in her bank ount, so it would be a little difficult for her to pay for their meals. Therefore, he did not object when Qin Yuan proposed to give them a free meal. ¡°Ah?¡± Qin Yuan did not understand and said in a daze. Luo Tao was silent for a moment, then said, ¡°Mo Yan is now responsible for the expenses of the two of us. Think of a reason that will not make her suspicious. You can also not waive the bill and give us a discount instead.¡± ¡°Brother Huo! Are you sure you are not doing this to make things difficult for me on purpose?¡± Qin Yuan wailed on the other side of the phone. Luo Tao ignored Qin Yuan¡¯s mischievous behavior and ordered him to do what he needed to do. ¡°Find a way to delete the photo in your cousin¡¯s phone and send me information on Mo Yan¡¯spany.¡± Qin Yuan, who was leisurely spending his days in his vi, instantly sat up from the sofa. Huo Zhen wanted him to look up information on Mo Yan¡¯spany? What was he trying to do? This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Although he loved brother Huo, he did not want to end up as his errand boy! Besides, he was the young master of the Qin family. Why did he have to do dirty work? Qin Yuan said to Huo Zhen with a bitter face, ¡°Brother Huo, the photo in my cousin¡¯s phone was already been deleted. And how am I supposed to get information on Mo Yan¡¯spany?¡± ¡°Think of a way yourself.¡± With that, Luo Tao cut off the call cleanly. ¡°Hello! Hello! Hello!¡± Qin Yuan felt ufortable. He called Huo Zhen a few more times before confirming that Huo Zhen was once again treating him like an errand boy. After returning to his seat, Luo Tao looked at the person in front of him again. The girl¡¯s beautiful face looked even more delicate under the light. Her red lips opened and closed as she put food into her mouth. She did not eat fast. Although her eating etiquette was not perfect, she could still tell from her subtle movements that she had been taught in this area. Thinking of the information he had learned, Luo Tao felt a strange feeling in his heart. ¡°You¡¯re willing to?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Luo Tao thought of Qin Yuan¡¯s words again. He repeated this question in his heart, but still did not get an answer. Gazing at the young girl, Luo Tao was in a daze. Because Luo Tao did not move after returning, Mo Yan raised her head curiously. Seeing that the man was staring at her, she felt a little strange. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The look in the man¡¯s eyes was something Mo Yan did not quite understand. She could only look at him in confusion. ¡°We¡¯ve been married for some time. Is there anything you want to say to me?¡± Luo Tao could not get an answer from himself, so he wanted to know the girl¡¯s opinion of him. Mo Yan was stunned by the question, not knowing what he wanted to hear from her. If they were talking about feelings, the two of them were not married because of their feelings. Even if she might have a good impression of him, for her to confess her feelings now¡­ As she thought about it, Mo Yan¡¯s cheeks flushed red. She stole a nce at the person opposite her. The man was still calm andposed, not showing any signs of anticipation or waiting, so he probably wasn¡¯t talking about their feelings. Then¡­ could it be.. Thinking of a possibility, Mo Yan¡¯s face instantly turned pale. Could it be that Luo Tao was suspecting her identity? Recalling everything that had happened during this period of time, Mo Yan¡¯s face turned even paler. Luo Tao was supposed to marry the legitimate daughter of the Mo family, while she was just a lowly illegitimate child. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Any man who knew that the person he married had turned from a daughter to an illegitimate child would not be able to ept it. Was her identity about to be discovered? Mo Yan felt the blood in her body turn cold. She did not dare to imagine the consequences of Luo Tao knowing her identity. It was too terrifying She did not dare to look at the man. She could only squeeze the cutlery in her hands tightly, trying her best to stop her voice from trembling. ¡°I have nothing to say!¡± Luo Tao¡¯s gaze stopped at Mo Yan¡¯s fingers. He sighed in his heart. He must have forced her too hard. He wanted her to tell him her identity personally. If she was honest with him, perhaps he could get the answer in his heart. Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Got Along with Him ¡°I thought you would want to say that the days ahead of us are not going to be easy.¡± Luo Tao smiled and changed the topic. He could not bear to see Mo Yan like this. ¡°Right! If you didn¡¯t remind me, I would have forgotten. In the future, I need to work more overtime to earn overtime pay. You will have to settle your own dinner.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s words made Mo Yan feel as if she had been pardoned. Although she heaved a sigh of relief, in order not to let Luo Tao see it, she could only try her best to suppress her feelings. Luo Tao could not help butugh at Mo Yan¡¯s performance. She always thought that she had concealed it well, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden. However, only if Mo Yan was willing to be honest with him could Qin yuan¡¯s question be answered! When Mo Yan heard that the bill was waived, the surprise in her eyes made Luo Tao stunned. As for the reason, Mo Yan asked out of curiosity. She then heard from the attendant that it was the birthday of a youngdy from the Bai family, and Young Master Qin had paid for the meals of everyone in the restaurant. Luo Tao almost choked on the red wine in his mouth. Although he knew that Qin Yuan was unreliable, he did not expect him to be so unreliable. At the same time, Qin Yuan¡¯s text message came at the right time. ¡°Brother Huo, my reason¡¯s not bad, right?¡± Luo Tao only nced at it and put away his phone. ¡°We are so lucky! We got a free meal,¡± Mo Yan said to Luo Tao with a smile. She was still thinking about how much the meal would have cost and how the two of them would spend the rest of their lives. She was so lucky to have encountered such a good thing. Luo Tao nodded in agreement and looked at the girl opposite him with a smile. Perhaps they could encounter more of this kind of luck. He liked her smile. At night, when Mo Yan returned home, she was still smiling foolishly as she sat in the taxi. The bustling and gorgeous lights gradually receded. The changing scenery on both sides of the road seemed to have divided the city into two parts. In the end, she was just passing through the world of debauchery. She still had to return to her ordinary life with this man. Mo Yan looked at the person beside her. Coincidentally, Luo Tao was also looking at her. After thinking for a while, Mo Yan slowly leaned over and carefully leaned her head on the man¡¯s shoulder. Seeing that Luo Tao did not reject her, she became bolder and handed over part of her body weight to the man. The status of being a substitute made her feel as if she was treading on thin ice. She did not dare to think about the future of the two of them, even though she was already his wife. However, at this moment, perhaps the atmosphere was romantic, so she wanted to lean on him a little. The fresh smell of the man¡¯s body lingered on the tip of Mo Yan¡¯s nose. They used the same bottle of shower gel, but she felt that the smell of the man¡¯s body was even better. She did not know when, but soon, Mo Yan fell asleep on Luo Tao¡¯s shoulder.

She looked around, but she did not see Luo Tao¡¯s figure. ¡°Is he sleeping on the sofa?¡± Putting on her slippers, Mo Yan walked to the living room but still did not see Luo Tao. At this moment, there were two nging soundsing from the kitchen, like something falling on the ground. Mo Yan came to the kitchen and stretched out her head to take a look. ¡°Luo Tao? What are you doing?¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s voice, Luo Tao¡¯s back seemed to stiffen. He immediately turned around and moved some distance away. The pot was emitting hot steam, and Luo Tao was stirring something with the spoon in his hand. Mo Yan only saw clearly when she walked closer. There was white porridge boiling in the pot. However, what was puzzling was why there was something ck mixed in the white porridge. ¡°This¡­¡± Pointing at the thing in the pot, Mo Yan blinked her big eyes and looked at Luo Tao in confusion. Coughing lightly, Luo Tao looked a little embarrassed, but he still continued, ¡°Yesterday¡¯s red wine had some lingering effects. I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t feel well in the morning.¡± Yesterday, when the two of them ordered food, they had added red wine. When they started to drink the red wine, there wasn¡¯t much effects, but the lingering effects were strong. Luo Tao¡¯s alcohol tolerance was not bad. He had trained it in his previous social interactions. As for Mo Yan, the reason why she fell asleep so quickly in the taxi was very likely because she was drunk. Upon hearing his answer, Mo Yan felt a warmth in her heart. No wonder she slept so soundly yesterday. Fortunately, she did not have any bad habits after being drunk. Otherwise, Luo Tao would be the unlucky one. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan once again ced her gaze on the pot of white mixed with ck porridge. ¡°Why don¡¯t I take over?¡± Mo Yan suggested tentatively. Luo Tao looked at the pot of porridge again and silently handed the spoon to Mo Yan. ¡°This only happens when you don¡¯t add enough water.¡± As she said this, Mo Yan smiled brightly at Luo Tao and then turned around, because what she wanted to say next made her a little shy. ¡°Thank you for being willing to make breakfast for me. I¡¯m very happy.¡± Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Allowance? Dowry? Luo Tao, who was about to enter the house, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He stopped by the door and turned to look at Mo Yan. His thin lips opened and closed as he spat out three words, ¡°You are wee.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s ears twitched when she heard his gentle tone. One of them had his back turned to cook while the other leaned against the door and watched. Even though there was nomunication and no eye contact, there seemed to be a faint warmth circting in this small space. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Mo Yan¡¯s heart beat violently. She did not dare to look back at the man¡¯s expression, but the imagination in her mind made her blush even more. She put all her attention on her hands and picked out the ck objects from the porridge bit by bit. She filled two bowls of water into the pot, stirred the rice grains with a spoon, and closed the lid. Seeing that the porridge still needed to be boiled for a while, Mo Yan turned around and took out a bag of sour beans, potatoes and eggs from the refrigerator. She decided to use them to make pickled vegetables, and two potato egg cakes to eat with the in porridge. After putting the pickled beans onto a te, Mo Yan skillfully scraped off the skin of the potatoes, cut them into thin shreds, and ced them aside in cold water to wash away the starch. Then, she took out arge bowl and mixed the right amount of seasonings. She cracked the eggs, stirred them, and poured in flour. Throughout this whole process, she did not forget to pay attention to the temperature of the porridge. Luo Tao leaned against the door, his gaze following Mo Yan¡¯s movements. The sun shone on her smooth ck hair, as if it had cast ayer of halo over her entire body. He had never thought that he would one day live such a life. In a small kitchen in his home, his wife would wash her hands and make soup for him. Luo Tao suddenly felt his heart palpitate. Perhaps the current days could be considered as a blessing in disguise. Looking at Mo Yan, who was cooking for him, Luo Tao recalled what had happened before. He knew that Mo Yan had been working hard in herpany, so he said, ¡°You work so hard and you still have to cook for me. How about you stop working?¡± Hearing Luo Tao¡¯s words, Mo Yanughed lightly. She secretly sighed. Did he not know how expensive living costs were? After thinking for a while, Mo Yan teased, ¡°How can I not go? Food, clothing, and amodation. Moreover, I still have to support you! Am I right?¡± Mo Yan did not turn around. Although she responded to Luo Tao, her hands did not stop moving. She picked up the lid of the pot and checked how the porridge was being cooked. She needed to be more meticulous in making the porridge over a small fire. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°I¡¯ll support you.¡± Luo Tao almost said these three words, but when he thought of his identity as ¡®Luo Tao¡¯, he changed his words. ¡°Since you married me, won¡¯t your family help us out? Do you need to work so hard?¡± As soon as these words were said, Mo Yan¡¯s hand trembled violently, and the spoon that was used to serve the porridge almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, her back was facing Luo Tao, so he didn¡¯t notice her anxious expression. ¡°No, no! Since I¡¯m already married, I can¡¯t ask for money from my family anymore. We need to rely on each other! If we both ask for money from our families, how are we going to live our lives? We have to n how to spend money to save money. It¡¯s not good if we only rely on our families!¡± The more guilty Mo Yan was, the more she spoke. It was just like a sentence she had read before. If she lied the first time, she had to use countless lies to cover up the first lie. Their marriage was a lie and a scam. She needed to carefully protect these lies from being exposed. ¡°Is that so? It seems like I didn¡¯t see you bring any dowry either.¡± Luo Tao seemed to be speaking carelessly, but every word pierced through Mo Yan¡¯s heart. Mo Yan had a bad premonition in her heart, but she didn¡¯t dare to open her mouth to confirm it. She could only think of ways to deal with it quickly in her mind. Gritting her teeth, Mo Yan pretended to be a little angry. She stomped her foot and turned around to face Luo Tao. She red at him fiercely and said, ¡°Why are you thinking about my dowry! Is it that important to you?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan thought that Luo Tao would be angered by her words and leave after mming the door. However, she did not expect Luo Tao to justugh lightly and not get angry. Seeing that Mo Yan was still ring at him, he raised his hands and pretended to surrender, ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You deal with the money. I still have to rely on you to support me. I can¡¯t make you angry. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± After a moment of silence, Mo Yan finally could not hold it in anymore and burst outughing She didn¡¯t know that Luo Tao was so good at coaxing people, and his way of coaxing people was so cute. A pair of beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons as she chased Luo Tao back to the living room in amusement. Mo Yan, who was left alone in the kitchen, couldn¡¯t help but let out a long sigh of relief. She had covered up her secret again today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? How long did she need to lie to him? Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Chapter 46 I Am Very Satisfied Mo Yan had been working in thepany for some time now. Although Chen Ya made things difficult for her, she was already familiar with the job. Whether it was Chen Ya bullying her or Zhou Shuai harassing her, they were just tests for her. These days, she realized the most important thing to have was ability. If she was able, then she would be able to go far in this line of work. If she was unable, then she would suffer working here. In the sales industry, everyone was for themselves. One had to be independent. Without one¡¯s own client group, one would not have a standing in thepany. What she did not expect was that she would get so much support from CEO Song, and that she was even able to strike a deal that was extremely beneficial to her with CEO Song. Xu Wan sent her a text message, asking her to go to the pantry. In the pantry, Xu Wan told her a lot about the sales department. Xu Wan said that this was something that people from the sales department had casually mentioned when they wereining to her. Good salespeople all had their own little tricks that they could not mention in front of their peers. However, since Xu Wan was from the administration department, they were willing to share with her their tips and tricks. For example, she had to observe the character of the customer more, then choose the right way to deal with the customer, and how to inadvertently end the rtionship with the customer. Some things were said to be one thing, but to be done was another. Language was an art. She still had a lot to learn if she wanted to understand the skills of sales in depth, and more so, she needed to practice them personally. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. She looked at the time. It was already noon. Mo Yan sighed helplessly. She had to go get lunch. Xu Wan pulled her along with a smile and the two of them went straight to the noodle shop downstairs. This noodle shop had good and affordable food. Mo Yan ordered the cheapest ramen. Xu Wan saw that she was reluctant to spend money, so she ordered more mouthwatering chicken and side dishes. This way, the two of them could eat together. While the two of them were waiting for their meal, Xu Wan saw Mo Yan typing on her phone and nced at her curiously. Seeing what she was typing instantly activated Xu Wan¡¯s mocking mode. ¡°He¡¯s already so grown up, yet he still doesn¡¯t when to have lunch? Do you need to tell him? He¡¯s at home every day, and you still need to cook for him. Why hasn¡¯t he died of stupidity?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Xu Wan¡¯s words made Mo Yan speechless. She knew that her good friend was just feeling bad for her, so she did not know what to say. ¡°I just casually sent him a message. Why are you so angry?¡± ¡°Hmph! I just can¡¯t stand him. A man who idles around and has nothing to do and needs a woman to support him is such a loser.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not as bad as you say. It¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t found a job that he¡¯s satisfied with yet.¡±Mo Yan continued to exin for Luo Tao. She, too felt embarrassed seeing her good friend so unsatisfied with her husband. Recalling how Luo Tao defended her time and time again and even made her breakfast, Mo Yan¡¯s heart softened a little. ¡°I don¡¯t know what drug he gave you to make you protect him so much.¡± Mo Yan looked at her good friend while smiling so much that her eyes curved upwards. She thought of the pot of porridge in the morning. ¡°It¡¯s just that you haven¡¯t interacted with him before. He¡¯s a very good person. Every time I encounter difficulties, he will protect me. I don¡¯t expect much. This is enough. I¡¯m very satisfied that he gives me a shoulder to lean on when I¡¯m helpless.¡± Hearing Mo Yan say this made Xu Wan feel both angry and distressed. She knew that Mo Yan had always been a kind girl and would treat people who treated her well for the rest of her life. ¡°You say that you rely on him, so you don¡¯t rely on me? You little heartless brat.¡± Xu Wan pointed a finger fiercely at Mo Yan¡¯s forehead and scolded in frustration. Mo Yan knew that Xu Wan had reluctantly epted her exnation and could not help but feel relieved. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Xu Wan had always wanted the best for Mo Yan. It was only because she felt that it was unfair to her that she had such a strong opinion of Luo Tao. If she were to talk about her marriage with Xu Wan, or talk about how good Luo Tao was, it would not be of much use. After all, Xu Wan had no reason to spend time with Luo Tao. On the contrary, Xu Wan might get upset that Mo Yan was on Luo Tao¡¯s side and not her¡¯s. Creating such a misunderstanding would deviate from her original intention of changing Xu Wan¡¯s negative impression of Luo Tao. ¡°Of course I rely on you! You are my best friend. I want to rely on you every day. When you win the lottery, remember to bring me along to collect your prize money.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s strange expression made Xu Wanugh out loud, ¡°You have such a sweet mouth! Alright, when I win the lottery, I will definitely give you half.¡± ¡°Then I will pray that you win the lottery every day!¡± As the two of themughed, two bowls of noodles were served on the table. The waiter ran over again and brought over some vegetables and saliva chicken. Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Yuan Suit The noodles on the table were bright in color, and the aroma of the noodles stimted their appetite. The sweet and sour side dishes and the chicken covered in red oil were enough to make people drool. There were many people in this noodle shop, especially during meal time. It was almost full. Mo Yan picked out a few noodles and sucked them into her mouth. She really enjoyed her food, and she thought about how she could bring Luo Tao to eat with her when she was free one day. Just as she was thinking about it, Mo Yan¡¯s phone vibrated twice. She swiped the screen and took a look. It was Luo Tao¡¯s reply to her text message and a photo of him wearing a suit. It seemed like someone had taken it for him. Mo Yan was about to reply with the word ¡®handsome¡¯, but in the next second, she realized something and her hand stopped on the screen. After a long silence, when Xu Wan kept looking at her, Mo Yan finally made up her mind to type a line of words. ¡°Who are you talking to?¡± Xu Wan picked up a piece of food and asked. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan tried hard to force a smile and pretended that nothing had happened. She zoomed in on the photo just now and looked at the background. Luo Tao seemed to be in a luxury store. Although Mo Yan tried her best to hide her emotions, Xu Wan had been her best friend for so many years. She could easily tell that Mo Yan wasn¡¯t feeling okay. Xu Wan frowned, grabbed Mo Yan¡¯s phone, swiped the screen and unlocked it in one go. When she saw the text messages between the two of them, Xu Wan was so angry that she almost fell over. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Is this what you meant by ¡®good¡¯? Are you sure he is reliable? Is he really shopping right now? How dare he ask for 6,000 yuan. And you, you actually coddle him! Ask him if he has enough money with him.¡± Mo Yan quickly pulled Xu Wan, who had stood up angrily, down, and nodded at the person who was looking at her, saying she was sorry. ¡°Xu Wan, lower your voice, you¡¯re too loud.¡± Xu Wan was pulled down by Mo Yan, and she still looked at her angrily. ¡°When you work outside, you have to have decent clothes, right?¡± Whileforting Xu Wan, Mo Yan took her phone back. Seeing that Xu Wan was going to scold her again, Mo Yan quickly said, ¡°When he finds a suitable job, he won¡¯t be like this anymore. Believe me, he might even support me in the future!¡± Seeing that Mo Yan said it with confidence, Xu Wan could not let go of the anger in her chest. ¡°You! How can you just let him be like this! How did he brainwash you? I¡¯ll learn from him someday!¡± Xu Wan saw that she could not persuade Mo Yan, so she could only say something fierce. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan listened to Xu Wan¡¯s words in one ear and out the other and she transferred 6,000 yuan to Luo Tao. Looking at the remaining bnce on her card, Mo Yan was extremely upset with Luo Tao. However, she had to suck it up since she had been lying that she was the legitimate daughter of the Mo family. In fact, Mo Yan suspected that Luo Tao had already found out that she was not the legitimate daughter of the Mo family, so he was just making fun of her. Just like earlier, after eating an expensive meal, when she received a fee deduction reminder and called to inquire, he only said that the meal was very delicious. When he went home at night, he even asked her to introduce to him more delicious restaurants. His half-smiling face made Mo Yan feel like he had discovered something. Therefore, there were many reasons why she transferred the money to Luo Tao. Not only did she feel sorry for his circumstances since he was young, but she also had her own reasons. It would be tooplicated to exin to Xu Wan. Sighing, Mo Yan sorted out her emotions and smiled at Xu Wan. ¡°Xu Wan, calm down. If you continue to be angry, you won¡¯t even need to eat anymore.¡± ¡°Hmph! What¡¯s there to eat? I¡¯m already full from anger!¡± Xu Wan red fiercely at Mo Yan. Mo Yan rolled her eyes and pulled the saliva chicken in front of her. ¡°Alright! Since you¡¯re full, then this delicious saliva chicken will all be mine!¡± After saying that, Mo Yan began to suck up her noodles. She picked up the fragrant chicken meat and waved it in front of Xu Wan. Xu Wan lost her temper because of her, biting the meat in front of her with all her might. Her facial movements were so big that Mo Yan felt as if Xu Wan was biting the chicken as if it was her. Mo Yan swallowed her saliva. For the sake of her life, she had better eat her food quietly!

After a while, Mo Yan said, ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s not like I like him! I just want to live a normal life. He treats me well, and I want him to be happy. It¡¯s that simple.¡± Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Vague Thoughts Seeing that Xu Wan did not believe her, Mo Yan continued, ¡°Before I married him, I heard some things about him. To be honest, I was quite worried too. But after spending time with him, I could tell that he was not a person who did bad things. When he was defending me before, I thought of a sentence, ¡®I¡¯m not here to uphold justice, I¡¯m here to support her.¡¯ He¡¯s here to support me.¡± Mo Yanughed lightly. Xu Wan was moved by Mo Yan¡¯s twinkling eyes and continued listening patiently. ¡°Perhaps in the eyes of others, he fought and got into fights, didn¡¯t have a job, and wasn¡¯t someone who anyone would want to be with for life. However, the gentleness and favoritism he gave me was real.¡± Hearing Mo Yan say so much, Xu Wan didn¡¯t know what else to say. She let out a long sigh and said, ¡°Sigh! I¡¯ve lost! I¡¯ve lost! How can you still say you don¡¯t like him? You¡¯re so obvious!¡± Mo Yan pursed her lips and smiled. She did not admit or deny it. There were too many things between her and Luo Tao. Even she herself could note up with an answer. The conversation changed. Xu Wan winked at Mo Yan and whispered, ¡°You¡¯ve already fallen for Luo Tao so quickly. Is it because he¡¯s really good in bed?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s hand trembled and the chopsticks fell to the ground with a thud. Before she could think, the redness spread from her face to her neck. ¡°You, you¡¯re a pervert!¡± Mo Yan¡¯s tongue was tied and she could not speak clearly. ¡°Otherwise, what other reason could make you fall in love so quickly? Tell me, is Luo Tao¡¯s figure particrly good?¡± Xu Wan looked as if she understood. ¡°Hmph, I won¡¯t tell you.¡± Mo Yan picked up another pair of chopsticks and buried her head in her noodles. However, she could not help but recall Xu Wan¡¯s words in her mind. She could still clearly remember the feeling of the two of them hugging. Luo Tao¡¯s figure was indeed very good, and his face was also very handsome. However, she would never tell Xu Wan that! Hmph! It wasn¡¯t something that Xu Wan needed to you ¡°Hey, look at you. If only you could see your face right now. Forget it, I¡¯m toozy to talk about you. You¡¯re spending money on him and protecting him. I¡¯ll treat you as a gigolo!¡± Xu Wan was about to continue teasing her when Mo Yan stuffed a mouthful of chicken meat into her mouth. Needless to say, the meat was really fragrant! Back at home, Luo Tao was sitting on the sofa in a daze. One of his hands was unconsciously tapping on the coffee table beside him. He didn¡¯t even notice Qin Yuan approaching. ¡°Brother Huo, what are you thinking about?¡± He was snapped back to reality by Qin Yuan¡¯s voice. Luo Tao nced at him but did not answer. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Qin Yuan did not care. He sat on the side and took a grape and stuffed it into his mouth. Seeing the phone that Luo Tao casually threw away, he casually picked it up. ¡°Oh ho! Sister-inw transferred money to you again! 6,000? The bonus that she received. Instead of returning it to me¡­¡± Qin Yuan muttered, and then his eyes widened. ¡°She transferred all the remaining money to you?¡± Luo Tao made Qin Yuan even more confused. He was just testing her earlier. His clothes had always been custom-made. Although he would be more restrained when he was with her, he did not need to disguise himself when he was not with her. Since custom-made clothes required time, he randomly picked a suit in the shop. Just as he was about to leave, he received a text message from Mo Yan urging him to eat on time. Then, he asked the shop assistant to take a photo of him and send it to her. When she asked about the price, he told her that it costs 6,000 yuan. Of course, this suit was not only 6,000 yuan, but he knew that this was all that was left in her card. He was very curious about what she would do if he said that. He was partially shocked that she actually transferred the money to him. ¡°What do you want to say?¡± Luo Tao picked up the wine ss in front of him and took a sip, then asked Qin Yuan in return. ¡°Brother Huo, how are you so lucky to be able to marry such a beautiful, sensible, and gentle wife like sister-inw even though you¡¯re an imposter? Tell me, how does it feel to know that sister-inw is so willing to spend money on you?¡± What feeling? Luo Tao thought about it and felt the warmth slowly flowing in his heart. He could not help but smile. ¡°Brother Huo, don¡¯t just be secretly happy. Tell me about it!¡± Qin Yuan shouted in dissatisfaction. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

I¡¯ll understand if you tell me.¡± ¡°Because¡­ you¡¯re single.¡± As he spoke, Luo Tao picked up his wine ss and walked to the French window behind the table. Qin Yuan almost choked on the grapes. When did Brother Huo be so mean? Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Touched? Being Rash? In front of Luo Tao were many tall buildings, but he could only think about the small rented house. It was not that he had lost his familiarity with tall buildings, but the warmth of the small house made him yearn for it. ¡°I havepleted the background check on Mo Yan¡¯spany. Hong Jing started four years ago. Its main business is real estate. If there are no drastic changes in the real estate prices in theing years, the prospects are still good.¡± Qin Yuan briefly described what thepany did. Hong Jing was not a bigpany, so Luo Tao probably had no intention of investing in Luo Tao nodded his head, indicating that he understood. ¡°Mo Yan is at work today. Get your men to pay attention to her. Don¡¯t let those bugs trip her up in the dark.¡± Hearing Luo Tao¡¯s words, Qin Yuan clicked his tongue and agreed. ¡°Huo Zhen, how much longer are you going to hide? It¡¯s time for you toe back!¡± Luo Tao did not answer. He put down his wine ss and nced at Qin Yuan indifferently before preparing to leave. Seeing that Luo Tao was about to leave, Qin Yuan got up to send him back, but was rejected by Luo Tao. Considering Qin Yuan¡¯s mboyant personality, who knew what kind of attention-grabbing car he would drive. When Luo Tao arrived home, it was just past 5:00. Mo Yan would probably be back in a whileter.. Looking around, Luo Tao locked his gaze on Mo Yan¡¯s tightly shut door. Ever since they moved in here, Mo Yan would always leave the door open during the day. She said that it was so that the air could circte. He wondered why she decided to close the door today. Luo Tao hesitantly held the doorknob. Unexpectedly, the door wasn¡¯t locked. What met Luo Tao eyes made him freeze on the spot. Mo Yan had always kept the house neat and tidy. But today, her room was extremely messy. Luo Tao understood the reason. As she was drunk fromst night, she woke upte today. From the clothes piled by the cab, it was obvious that she was in a hurry. However, she still made breakfast and left after eating with him. She was trying her best to maintain this marriage that was full of lies and deceit, Luo Tao thought. If it were not for them both substituting people in this marriage, the two of them would probably never have crossed paths. Thinking of the person who was originally going to marry Mo Yan and was called ¡®Luo Tao¡¯, an indescribable emotion suddenly rose in Luo Tao¡¯s heart. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks With aplicated expression, he picked up the clothes on the ground. Suddenly, he saw two pieces of ck underwear. Luo Tao¡¯s breathing stopped. Everything that happened that night when the two of them met for the first time instantly popped into his mind. The girl¡¯s curvaceous figure and the faint fragrance lingering around her neck were still fresh in his memory. Closing his eyes, Luo Tao took a deep breath and took a few steps forward to pick up her underwear. After picking up the clothes, he quickly walked towards the washing machine and ced the clothes into the dirtyundry basket beside him. After he was done, Luo Tao exhaled. It was not that he had never seen such items before. Instead, because he grew up in such a high-profile family, he was familiar with these things. However, right now he felt like a teenager with raging hormones. When he thought ofst night, his heart started beating irregrly. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. He recalled thatst night, when the girl leaned her head on his shoulder, her hair was full of the fragrance of flowers. He knew that this was the smell of her shampoo. She was very quiet when she was drunk, unlike some people who would make a scene. She was like a tiny sleeping kitten. Even when he carried her out of the car, she did not wake up. She only mumbled a few times and wrapped her arms around his neck. At that time, he realized that she was not guarded against others when she was drunk. He had wanted to remind her to not get drunk outside again, however, he forgot to remind her in the morning. Luo Tao did not know how he felt about Mo Yan, but he had a hunch that he would not want to know the answer. Sitting on the sofa, Luo Tao let out a long sigh. His gaze continued to drift to Mo Yan¡¯s room door. After hesitating for a long while, Luo Tao pushed open Mo Yan¡¯s door again. There was something that caught his attention just now. It was a notebook ced on the desk. It looked very exquisite, as if it was used by a girl as her diary. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao stood by the desk and hesitated. He had been taught since he was young that reading other people¡¯s notes was not something he should do, but his curiosity towards Mo Yan made him unable to control his actions. He wanted to know Mo Yan¡¯s opinion of him and her own thoughts about him. He had married her because he had no other choice at the time. One day he would leave. But what about her? Was she also extremely reluctant to marry him? Was she just resigned to her fate? All kinds of questions lingered in his mind. Finally, Luo Tao opened the notebook. Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Her Notebook A row of delicate and small words reflected in Luo Tao¡¯s eyes. What was written wasn¡¯t anyints nor normal diary entries as he had expected. Rather than a diary, it was more like a record book. What was written was the dates when someone helped her, as well as the events of the incident. Her entry today was about how Luo Tao was worried that she would feel sick from being drunk, so he specially cooked porridge for her in the morning. She did not understand how, but he actually burned the porridge. It seemed like she had to teach him how to cook porridge. At the end, there was a big smile. Luo Tao was stunned. He did not know how to feel. He flipped to the previous page and saw that the page contained no long-winded recount. There were only three short sentences. The first sentence was to thank Boss Qin for helping her teach that bastard Zhou Shuai a lesson. However, hitting someone was illegal and he had to pay for it. It was apanied by a simple drawing of a conflicted expression. The second sentence was to thank CEO Song! She wrote that she had to thank CEO Song properly. She was thankful for being able to make such good money with her hard work! The drawing at the back was a cute little person hugging another serious-looking little person and kissing wildly. The third sentence was to wish Miss Bai a happy birthday! She thanked Miss Bai for celebrating her birthday in Allison Music Restaurant and getting treated to a meal. She was d that she did not have to spend an obscene amount of money. Apanying the sentence was a little girl worshipping Buddha.

However, it was not difficult to see that the person who wrote the n was talented. Mo Yan was very strong for being able to work on the project under Chen Ya¡¯s malicious suppression.

She has only been here for a short while and has already hooked up with the higher-ups. Tsk tsk.¡± Mo Yan was no longer in the mood to listen to the two of them make up stories about her.

However, Zhou Shuai told her to immediately work on the clients¡¯ request. After some hesitation, Mo Yan went back to the private dining room with him. She opened the door and sat on the seat closest to the door. ¡°Mo Yan! Do you remember all the requests they made?¡± ¡°I do,¡± Mo Yan replied casually as she was concentrating on writing down things. Zhou Shuai, who was sitting across from Mo Yan, picked up his wine ss and took a big gulp. His gaze lingered on Mo Yan¡¯s chest.

It¡¯s time for me to get off work.¡± ¡°Mo Yan, you¡¯re so beautiful. The more I look at you, the more beautiful you be.

She tried to block Zhou Shuai¡¯s hands from unbuttoning her shirt. This was all she could do right now. The effects of the medicine had already caused her eyelids to be heavy. Just as Mo Yan was about to go unconscious, there was a loud thud! The door was forcefully kicked by someone. There were a few more consecutive thuds, and Zhou Shuai was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He was immediately angry and walked towards the door. The door was opened. A clearly enraged man stood outside the door. His gaze swept past Zhou Shuai andnded on Mo Yan who was on the sofa. The girl¡¯s arm fell to the ground as if she had fallen into a deep sleep. Such a loud sound was not able to wake her up. Luo Tao narrowed his eyes and punched Zhou Shuai¡¯s face. A scream that sounded like a pig being ughtered rang out in the private dining room. The sound of the fist hitting the flesh made one shudder in fear. ¡°You touched her?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was filled with killing intent. A wrong word would have ended Zhou Shuai¡¯s life in a second. ¡°No, no, I didn¡¯t touch her. You can¡¯t kill me! You will go to jail!¡± Zhou Shuai waspletely frightened by Luo Tao. His face was covered in tears. He hadpletely lost the viciousness he had when facing Mo Yan. Zhou Shuai had seen this man before. He had been beaten up by this man before. At that time, he had only wanted to teach him a lesson. But this time, Zhou Shuai truly felt that this man wanted to kill him. ¡°I really didn¡¯t touch her! Don¡¯t kill me!¡± The wailing continued, and Zhou Shuai¡¯s voice changed pitch. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was very soft, as if she was mumbling. It should have been drowned out by the beating, but Luo Tao heard it clearly. Throwing aside Zhou Shuai¡¯s bruised and swollen face, Luo Tao walked over to Mo Yan¡¯s side in a few steps. ¡°Mo Yan, are you okay?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was very soft and gentle. The way he hugged Mo Yan was like he was hugging a porcin doll. He didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Mo Yan, and he didn¡¯t dare to get too close to her. He could only use his fists to vent the anxiety and panic in his heart. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan opened her eyes with difficulty and tried to smile at Luo Tao. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Brother Huo, sister-inw¡­¡± Qin Yuan followed him and rushed over. He did not expect to see such a scene. He blinked his eyes and did not know what was going on. Mo Yan was fine earlier. How did it end up like this? Looking at the half-dead Zhou Shuai lying on the side, Qin Yuan gave him a kick in disgust. He walked to Luo Tao¡¯s side and asked, ¡°What happened to sister-inw?¡± ¡°She must have been drugged. I¡¯ll bring her to the hospital.¡± Mo Yan was dizzy. She could hear someone talking but could not hear clearly what they said. ¡°Okay, this ce is very close to the city hospital.¡± Hospital? Mo Yan vaguely heard this word. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to the hospital. I want to go home.¡± After using thest of her strength to say this, Mo Yanpletely fainted. Luo Tao looked at the person who had fainted in front of him, a storm brewing in his eyes. Qin Yuan did not dare to say anything since this was only able to happen since he wasn¡¯t paying Mo Yan proper attention. However, Luo Tao was clearly a little agitated now. As the only person who was clear- headed, he had to deal with the matter. ¡°Brother Huo, I¡¯ve called Doctor Wu. He¡¯ll be here soon. You take sister-inw upstairs first. I¡¯ll take care of the rest.¡± Luo Tao nodded. He carried Mo Yan and walked towards the elevator. Qin Yuan smiled bitterly. He was careless. He did not expect that so much would change in ten minutes. After his call with Huo Zhen, he followed Mo Yan and saw her inside the private dining room writing something. Since the door was opened, he thought that it was nothing. He then bumped into his good friend who had just returned to the country and chatted with him for a while. Only then did this bastard have a chance to take advantage of her. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Zhou Shuai had long passed out. Qin Yuan nced at the face that had been beaten and went over to give him a few more kicks. ¡°Bastard, how dare you.¡± Because Qin Yuan had already told the staff that he was here, no matter how loud themotion was, no one was around to watch. Qin Yuan originally wanted to call someone to deal with Zhou Shuai. Even if he couldn¡¯t kill him, he wanted to at least cripple the bastard. However, before Qin Yuan could put his thoughts into action, Doctor Wu called. Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Luo Tao, Save Me The room on the top floor of the hotel was pitch ck. A man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the cigarette between his fingers flickering. Doctor Wu had checked that Mo Yan had not been injected with any harmful drugs. She only needed to rest for one night and she would be fine. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. To facilitate Mo Yan¡¯s rest, Luo Tao turned off the lights in the room. Thinking of Mo Yan lying motionless on the sofa, anger surged in Luo Tao¡¯s heart. He felt panic and fear. After extinguishing the cigarette butt, Luo Tao returned to Mo Yan¡¯s bedside. He did not have much of a liking for cigarettes. He would only smoke one when he was extremely troubled. Mo Yan seemed to be having a nightmare. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her red lips were frighteningly white. No one could discern what she was saying. Luo Tao moved his ear closer. ¡°Get away, don¡¯t touch me!¡± These few words made Luo Tao burst with anger. However, the next second, Luo Tao¡¯s expression softened again. Mo Yan said, ¡°Luo Tao, save me.¡± If Qin Yuan was present, he would definitely tease Luo Tao for changing his expression so quickly. Other than in front of people he knew or hated, Luo Tao would not reveal his feelings. Mo Yan was probably the first person who could make Luo Tao¡¯s emotions fluctuate so much. Luo Tao ced his hand on Mo Yan¡¯s clenched fist. Just like that, Mo Yan¡¯s cold hand was gradually warmed up. Her fist slowly opened. A sharp object pierced into Luo Tao¡¯s palm. Luo Tao picked up the object. Facing the moonlight, he saw that it was an exquisite brooch. ¡­ That night, Mo Yan had a dream. In the first half of the dream, she was running in the forest. Behind her, Zhou Shuai was chasing her, and she did not dare to stop. As she was running, a man with brown hair and green eyes waved at her, and she walked toward him. As she got closer, she realized that the man¡¯s expression was exactly the same as Zhou Shuai¡¯s. She wanted to scream but could not make a sound. She turned and continued to run, not knowing how to escape. She was almost driven mad by the fear behind her. After an unknown amount of time, a hand suddenly pulled her and led her forward. After leaving the forest, there was a sea of flowers in front of her. am Standing among the flowers, she could not see the man¡¯s appearance clearly. The man faced her, his back facing the sunlight, and said to her, ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan slowly opened her eyes. The warm sunlight shone through the window onto her body. She no longer felt scared. Mo Yan wanted to stretch her body to relieve her fatigue. ¡°Huh?¡± When she stretched out her hand, it seemed like her hand was being pressed down by something She turned her head to look. Luo Tao was holding her hand and sleeping soundly. His shiny ck hair looked very soft. Mo Yan looked at her hand, and then looked at Luo Tao again. In the end, she reached out her other hand to rub his hand. Luo Tao¡¯s hair looked soft, but it was unexpectedly dry. Mo Yan¡¯s fingers slid along Luo Tao¡¯s hair until she reached his eyebrows. Luo Tao¡¯s eyebrows were well-shaped and neat, but there was a shallow ravine between his eyebrows. Did he frown a lot? Mo Yan touched it and then moved her fingertips down. The bridge of his nose was high and his skin was delicate. She didn¡¯t understand how a man¡¯s skin could be so good. As she moved towards his lips, her fingers were grabbed. A pair of bright ck eyes met her eyes. Luo Tao held Mo Yan¡¯s hand in his and kissed the back of her hand. ¡°Good morning.¡± Mo Yan immediately withdrew her hand as if she had just been scalded. Her face and neck were all red like a big ripe apple. ¡°Morning, good morning. I, I will go and make breakfast for you!¡± After saying that, Mo Yan was ready to get out of bed. Luo Tao immediately stopped her. ¡°Your body is not fully recovered yet, I will make breakfast. Call yourpany and ask for a leave today!¡± With Luo Tao¡¯s reminder, Mo Yan instantly remembered what happenedst night, and her face turned pale again. Luo Tao patted her head andforted her before leaving. Mo Yan smiled gratefully at Luo Tao¡¯s back. She really needed some time. Although she did not remember how she got home, she knew that it was Luo Tao who saved herst night when she was almost assaulted by Zhou Shuai. wasi Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

If Luo Tao had not appeared,st night would have been her nightmare for the rest of her life. However, because he came, nothing too drastic happened. He seemed to have called her Mo Yanst night? After thinking about it, Mo Yan shook her head. Yan was very simr to Lian. He probably called her Mo Lian, but she could not hear it clearly so she had heard it as Mo Yan. She really hoped that one day he could call her by her real name. Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Rumors After resting for two days, Mo Yan felt much better. Thinking of Luo Tao¡¯s care for the past two days, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but smile. He really didn¡¯t know how to cook. It was already impressive that he could cook porridge without burning it. ¡°Beep, 7:40 PM, check-in sessful.¡± Mo Yan had just put away her check-in card when she heard the girl behind her say, ¡°Look, it¡¯s her¡­¡± Curious as to who she was talking about, Mo Yan turned her gaze and happened to meet the girl¡¯s gaze. Seeing that she had been caught red-handed, the girl blushed and hurriedly left with her friend. What happened within thest two days? Mo Yan walked to her work station with a puzzled look and ced her bag on her desk. She did not know if she was overthinking, but it seemed that everyone who passed by her was avoiding her. Thinking of asking Xu Wan about the situation in the afternoon, Mo Yan started working. Although she had been working here for a while, Mo Yan didn¡¯t make many friends. It wasn¡¯t that Mo Yan was a bad person, but there were just too many rumors surrounding Mo Yan. By bing friends with Mo Yan, they could get into trouble because of her. As a result, many people avoided Mo Yan. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. In the bathroom, Mo Yan sent a message to Xu Wan, asking her to meet her in the afternoon. However, not long after Mo Yan entered the bathroom, two other girls walked in. ¡°Yue, have you heard? Supervisor Zhou was beaten up by Mo Yan¡¯s husband!¡± One of the girls giggled and said, ¡°Of course I have! The news has spread all over thepany. It was said that Supervisor Zhou had good intentions to bring Mo Yan to a business meeting, but in the end, Mo Yan seduced a client and was discovered by her husband. Mo Yan¡¯s husband was also a weirdo. Instead of teaching Mo Yan a lesson, he beat Supervisor Zhou up. Supervisor Zhou got injured badly. The company saw that Mo Yan had potential, so they let Supervisor Zhou bring her to the business meeting. It¡¯s so unfair that he got beat up.¡± ¡°It seems that Mo Yan¡¯s husband is a local hooligan who has been in prison before. Speaking of which, if Mo Yan can seduce clients, why did she marry a Hooligan?¡± The girl who spoke was full of confusion. ¡°Who knows! Maybe because he¡¯s good in bed? Hehe! I also heard that Mo Yan was able to seal her deal before because a leader took a liking to her and took Qiao Xin¡¯s project away to give to her.¡± ¡°Ah? Really?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s true! Also, you know that Supervisor Zhou is Supervisor Chen¡¯s boyfriend, right?¡± ¡°Of course! Doesn¡¯t everyone in thepany know that?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s all aboveboard. Supervisor Zhou had an affair with Mo Yan before, that¡¯s why Supervisor Chen targeted her so much.¡± ¡°Oh my God! That¡¯s so dramatic! Hm¡­ Who exactly is Mo Yan? How is she involved with everyone?¡± Mo Yan was trembling with anger in the bathroom cubicle. She clenched her fists. Were all the people in thepany that gossipy? Who was the one who spread these rumors! She was the one who was almost vited. Why was Zhou Shuai the victim? And why were they ndering Luo Tao like this? They didn¡¯t know the truth but started talking nonsense. Didn¡¯t anyone ever teach them not to talk about others behind their backs? ¡°Sigh, to be honest, I do feel that there might be something fishy about Mo Yan¡¯s contract signing.¡± Just as Mo Yan could not hold back her anger anymore and was about to rush in front of the two of them to argue, the door of the cubicle beside her was opened. ¡°When you¡¯re talking bad about others, don¡¯t you even look to see if there¡¯s anyone else around?¡± The calm question was like a sudden p of thunder that startled the two girls. ¡°Who are you? Does what we talk about have anything to do with you?¡± The girl who had been gossiping about Mo Yan earlier said sternly. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who I am. I just want to remind you that gossiping about others behind their backs is an uneducated behavior. If you feel that someone else¡¯s behavior is wrong, you can bring it up to them face-to-face.

I¡¯m sorry, we¡¯re sorry. We won¡¯t do this again in the future.¡± Seeing how serious the situation was, the girl who was keeping quiet pulled her friend to apologize and quickly left. Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Conversation After the two of them left, Mo Yan pushed the door open and walked out. The woman ignored her and turned on the tap to wash her hands. Mo Yan secretly nced at the woman a few times. She wanted to say something but didn¡¯t know how to start. While she was hesitating, the woman had already dried her hands and was ready to go back to work. ¡°Wait.¡± Mo Yan decided to talk and ask the woman to stay. The woman turned her head. Her delicate face, which was wearing gold-rimmed sses, was expressionless. ¡°Just now, thank you for speaking up for me.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at the woman. The woman¡¯s eyes moved, she said, ¡°Actually, you could have not fought back thest time. There is a surveince camera in the upper left corner recording her hitting you. You could have insisted that she hit you very hard at that time, which gave you a headache, and ask her to take you for a check-up. The company has a rule that employees are not allowed to get physical during working hours. If it¡¯s a two-way fight, both parties will bear the corresponding responsibility. If Chen Ya didn¡¯t want to make a big deal out of the matter and get deducted of three months¡¯ sry and her year-end bonus, she would have agreed to any request you made. This way, you wouldn¡¯t have to bear any responsibility and you could also make her unhappy.¡± Mo Yan was stunned by the woman¡¯s words. It was as if she was listening to her guardian angel. After a moment of silence, she carefully said, ¡°Why are you helping me? After hearing the rumors in the company, don¡¯t you hate me? Don¡¯t you want to stay away from me?¡± The woman lowered her eyshes and slowly exined, ¡°I identally overheard your conversation with your friend.¡± ¡°Conversation?¡± Mo Yan was puzzled. ¡°You talked to your friend about your views on your husband. I think you¡¯re a good person.¡± After saying that, the woman did not give Mo Yan a chance to reply and turned around to leave. She recalled her conversation with Xu Wan. It seemed to be the time when she was talking to her about Luo Tao when he was buying a suit. She was actually overheard by someone? Mo Yan¡¯s face turned even redder. With this interlude, Mo Yan¡¯s mood improved. She did not pay much attention to her colleagues¡¯ pointing fingers. There were many women in the sales department. There were also many who liked to gossip. If she let what they say affect her, she would probably be angered to death! Rather than gossipy people, she cared more about who the person who helped her was. When it was lunchtime, Mo Yan could not wait to find Xu Wan. When she saw Xu Wan looking at her worriedly, she could tell that she had something to tell her. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan pinched Xu Wan¡¯s face and joked, ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?¡± Xu Wan pushed her hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t mess around. You¡¯ve rubbed off my makeup.¡± Then she sighed. ¡°Are you alright? The rumors in thepany are getting out of hand. Are you recovered? I wanted to visit you, but your husband answered the call both times. He said that you were sleeping, so I didn¡¯t dare to disturb you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ve recovered a long time ago. Luo Tao has been taking care of me for the past two days. You see! He¡¯s not as unreliable as you say.¡± Mo Yan smiled until her eyes curved. Thinking of the two phone calls she had with Luo Tao, Xu Wan reluctantly nodded her head in agreement with Mo Yan¡¯s words. ¡°Oh right, Luo Tao really beat up Zhou Shuai until he had to go to the hospital? Didn¡¯t he just get discharged?¡± Xu Wan wanted tough at the mention of this. She was also annoyed by Zhou Shuai. not only because of Zhou Shuai¡¯s harassment of Mo Yan, but also because Zhou Shuai did not know his own limits. He was always flirting with women, causing the shrew Chen Ya to go crazy every day. They had even caused trouble in the administrative department twice. Mo Yan sighed and nodded. She did not know what kind of trouble Zhou Shuai was going to cause after he was discharged from the hospital. ¡°Mo Yan, could it be that thest time Zhou Shuai was beaten up was also by Luo Tao?¡±Xu Wan looked at Mo Yan suspiciously. She had no objections to the matter of Luo Tao beating up Zhou Shuai. Not only did she have no objections, she even wanted to give him a thumbs up. She wouldn¡¯t mind if Luo Tao beat him up a few more times. Upon hearing Xu Wan¡¯s question, Mo Yan shook her head like a rattle-drum. That was Qin Yuan beating up Zhou Shuai, not Luo Tao. One time was enough. She did not want Luo Tao to be med twice. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. However, with Xu Wan¡¯s reminder, Mo Yan thought that she should report this matter to CEO Song. She had to set the record straight. She still needed this job. Food, clothes, expenses, and the rent of the house were all dependent on her. What if she was really fired because of these groundless nders? ¡°Alright!¡± Xu Wan was a little disappointed, then, she said to Mo Yan, ¡°Don¡¯t take those gossipy women¡¯s words seriously. They are jealous of you because they saw you get the contract signed so quickly. A bunch of bored little bastards. I wish I could just beat them all up.¡± Her good friend¡¯s indignant look made Mo Yan cover her mouth andugh softly. ¡°My beautiful Xu Wan, if you continue to curse like that, yourdylike image will be gone.¡± Xu Wan red at her. ¡°You little heartless brat, I¡¯m standing up for you.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. My beautiful Xu Wan takes the best care of me.¡± Mo Yan pouted and then took out a small object from her bag. Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Way of Fighting Back Xu Wan took a closer look before she recognized that this was the recording pen that she had given to Mo Yan previously. ¡°What are you doing with this? What are you recording again?¡± Xu Wan picked up the pen and spun it around in her hand. re Mo Yan snatched it away in amusement. ¡°During this period of time, I will either bring it with me or leave it on my desk. I will organize the recordings of people who gossip about me the most and use them as evidence. Then, I will submit these recordings together with the names of the people who ndered me. If thepany doesn¡¯t handle it, I will use the evidence to send those people to jail for a few days.¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Xu Wan¡¯s eyes widened as if she was talking to someone she had never met before. ¡°You, how did you learn about this?¡± ¡°Someone taught me! Do you know of any woman in ourpany who wears gold-rimmed sses and doesn¡¯t like tough? She¡¯s taller than me too. She¡¯s probably also in the sales department, on the same floor as me.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s enthusiastic question made Xu Wan think seriously. ¡°Does she have any other characteristics?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ She¡¯s quite good-looking. Her hair is very long. There¡¯s nothing else.¡± Xu Wan frowned and thought about the characteristics Mo Yan mentioned again. ¡°Are you talking about Sister Xu?¡± ¡°Sister Xu?¡± ¡°Yes, from what you said, it¡¯s probably Sister Xu. Her name is Xu Tian, the sales champion of Sales Group C. She has been in thepany for a long time. I heard that a leader wanted to promote her to be a manager, but I don¡¯t know why she rejected it.¡± Xu Tian? This name really didn¡¯t match that swift and decisivedy, Mo Yan thought to herself. ¡°Sister Xu is very famous in ourpany. Only neers like you don¡¯t know her.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Yan blinked at Xu Wan, expressing her confusion. ¡°Logically speaking, most of you in sales would greet people with a smile. After all, if you want your clients to have a good impression of you, you have to leave an amiable impression on them. However, Sister Xu is different. She puts on a cold face all year round and keeps people at a thousand miles away. No one knows how Sister Xu is able to sign big contracts frequently and be the sales champion every month.¡± After the introduction, Mo Yan was so shocked that her jaw almost fell off. The person who helped her was actually such a powerful person. Xu Wan¡¯s eyes rolled around and finally stopped on Mo Yan. She asked, ¡°Could it be that the person who gave you advice was Sister Xu?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yanughed dryly and replied, ¡°It could be.¡± ¡°Good for you! How did you get Sister Xu¡¯s attention?¡± Xu Wan¡¯s jaw almost fell off. She had been thinking about how unlucky Mo Yan had been recently. She had thought aboutforting her, but who would have thought that such a powerful person was supporting her. ¡°I don¡¯t know either.¡± Although Sister Xu had said those things to her, she did not know why she had taken care of her. ¡°A fool has her fortune.¡± Xu Wan patted Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder twice. Since Mo Yan already had a n, she did not need to worry so much. Looking at Mo Yan who was eating happily, Xu Wan asked the question that had been bothering her. ¡°What exactly happened on the day you went to see the clients with Zhou Shuai? Why did Luo Tao beat up Zhou Shuai? And why are you not feeling well? Is it because of Zhou Shuai?¡± Faced with her good friend¡¯s question, Mo Yan told her the whole story. Of course, she did not know how she got home. Luo Tao did not tell her in detail. He only said that the hotel had hired a private doctor to treat her. After confirming that everything was fine, he brought her home. When Xu Wan heard what she said, she almost flipped the te over. She wanted nothing more than to immediately rush to the hospital and give Zhou Shuai two more kicks. How dare he do such a thing to Mo Yan! ¡°What happened after that? You didn¡¯t call the police? Zhou Shuai didn¡¯t call the police either?¡± Mo Yan shook her head. Actually, Zhou Shuai¡¯s behavior was considered ¡®attempted rape.¡¯ However, there was insufficient evidence to build a case. Even if she called the police, Zhou Shuai would only be called in to give a statement. It wouldn¡¯t affect him at all. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. However, it would be different if Zhou Shuai was the one to report the case. His injury was conclusive evidence. Although Luo Taoforted her that everything would be okay, she had been feeling uneasy. ¡°I didn¡¯t call the police.

Do I have to nag at you every day?¡± ¡°Alright! It¡¯s my bad, I¡¯m sorry. That night, it was all thanks to Luo Tao, or else I would have been doomed.¡± Every time Mo Yan thought about that night, she felt a lingering fear. She didn¡¯t dare to imagine what would have happened if Luo Tao hadn¡¯te. Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Evidence of Harassment In the afternoon, Mo Yan came to the door of CEO Song¡¯s office, ready to tell her the whole story. Previously, Mo Yan did not have any evidence to prove that she was being framed. However, this time, she had evidence to show both workce harassment and the harming of thepany¡¯s interests. She could not let Chen Ya and Zhou Shuai stain her name. Moreover, she needed CEO Song¡¯s approval to withdraw from this contract signing project. There was a knock on the door. Song Yun put down the document in her hand, pinched the bridge of her nose, and said, ¡°Come in.¡±. When she saw who it was, Song Yun frowned slightly. Her feelings for Mo Yan were a little conflicted now. Whether it was the rumors in thepany or what Qin Yuan had said to her previously, it made it impossible for her to look at Mo Yan with love. Before Qin Yuan came to visit her, she was quite fond of Mo Yan. Although Mo Yan¡¯s way of doing things was still immature, she was a person who dared to charge in and speak up. However, after Qin Yuan came to meet her, her thoughts changed. Logically speaking, receiving Qin Yuan¡¯s support by just taking care of Mo Yan was beneficial to her. She would no longer be pulled back by Deputy General Manager Chen. However, emotionally, she did not like that Mo Yan needed to rely on others. Song Yun was someone who had learned how to survive on her own in society. She had once been kicked out of apany by her connections and had to start all over from scratch. She was willing to hold an umbre for those who fought alone, but she did not want to open the back door for those who took shortcuts. The Sky had turned dark at some point, and raindrops hit the ss. A bolt of lightning suddenly shed across the sky, illuminating Song Yun¡¯s expressionless face. Mo Yan was a little nervous. She took a deep breath and tried to exin the matter objectively. This time, she was not here to seek justice from CEO Song. Instead, she wanted to exin the reason for her withdrawal from the project. ¡°What evidence do you have that Zhou Shuai harassed you and wanted to send you to the client¡¯s room?¡± Song Yun crossed her legs and looked into Mo Yan¡¯s eyes. Her calm voice made Mo Yan¡¯s heart skip a beat. Did CEO Song not believe her? ¡°CEO Song, I remember that there are surveince cameras in the corridor of Singh Hotel. At that time, I had left the door of the private dining room open. They should be able to capture me organizing the documents.¡± Song Yun looked at Mo Yan seriously and said, ¡°What does this prove?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°First, opening the door of the private dining room shows that I did not wish to be alone with Zhou Shuai. Otherwise, I would have closed the door. Second of all, it was Zhou Shuai who closed the door. He closed the door without my knowledge, with ulterior motives. Finally, the private doctor from Singh Hotel can prove that I had been given drugs.¡± Mo Yan finished her sentence in one breath. Since she could not provide clear evidence, she could only use this method to make Song Yun believe in her. Looking at the uneasy girl in front of her, Song Yun smiled imperceptibly. Although she didn¡¯t have evidence, she addressed the matter much better than previously. When she spoke about the matter, she used an objective and rigorous way of narrating, giving people the illusion that she had long put the matter aside. She even added some guiding words to let Song Yun¡¯s train of thought follow her. There was still a lot of room for development. Song Yun sighed to herself. ¡°Okay, I got it. You can withdraw from this project.¡± Song Yun knew that if she asked Mo Yan to provide more evidence, it would be too much for her. Moreover, Song Yun had some idea of what kind of person Zhou Shuai was. What Mo Yan said was probably true. Unfortunately, Zhou Shuai was under the protection of Deputy General Manager Chen, so she could not do anything to him. After settling the matter in her heart, Mo Yan walked out of Song Yun¡¯s office and let out a long sigh of relief. CEO Song was very scary. She took the elevator back to the sales department¡¯s floor. Perhaps it was because of the weather, but the office of Sales Group A was excessively quiet. There was only the sound of people tapping on keyboards. Mo Yan looked out of the window and frowned. She did not bring an umbre. She was afraid that she would have to get caught in the rain on her way back home today. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

For Mo Yan, the happiest time she was in thepany was when everyone was working. Mo Yan¡¯s working hours were eight to five. When it was five o¡¯clock, she would leave work. However, it was raining today. All her colleagues had gone home. Looking at the rain outside, Mo Yan opened her documents again and prepared to leave after the rain subsided. She waited for an hour. Seeing that her work was almost done, Mo Yan packed her things and left the office. As she was waiting for the elevator, Mo Yan¡¯s phone rang. It showed that the caller was Luo Tao. Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Fighting Fire with Fire ¡°Hello? Luo Tao?¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t expect Luo Tao to call her, and was a little surprised. ¡°Are you off work? It¡¯s raining outside, I¡¯ll go pick you up.¡± Hearing Luo Tao¡¯s words, Mo Yan smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s already six o¡¯clock. Only now are you saying that you want to pick me up. If I were to get off work at my usual time, wouldn¡¯t I already be drenched in the rain?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s tone was intimate and coquettish. Hearing this, Luo Tao¡¯s heart softened. He yed along and said, ¡°Yes, my bad for not paying attention to the time. Why don¡¯t I pick you up every day from now on?¡± ¡°Okay! You can pick me up every day from now on!¡± As they spoke, Mo Yan was just about to walk in the elevator when she saw a person she would rather have not seen.

I¡¯ll text you the addresster.¡± Mo Yan quickly said a few words to Luo Tao, then hung up the phone and walked into the elevator. In the narrow elevator, Mo Yan and Chen Ya stood in opposite corners. Chen Ya hated her but she was also disgusted with Chen Ya to the point that she wanted to fight whenever they met. Luo Tao had taught her a few self-defense moves. If needed, she would use them on Chen Ya. While Mo Yan was thinking about Chen Ya, Chen Ya spoke first. ¡°There are some people out there who get picked up every day, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s by the same person. A pair of jade arms, a pillow for thousands of people, red lips tasted by tens of thousands of people. I really can¡¯t believe some people.¡± There were only the two of them in the elevator. Mo Yan couldn¡¯t even pretend not to hear it. Clenching her fists, Mo Yan tried hard to suppress her anger. She couldn¡¯t give in and hit Chen Ya. What if it was a trap that Chen Ya had set?

Thanks Tao. ¡°Yo! Why are you running so fast? Are you afraid that I will see who came to pick you up? It¡¯s okay. I won¡¯t be surprised even if I see a foreigner.¡± Chen Ya deliberately emphasized the word ¡°Foreigner.¡± Obviously, she was reminding Mo Yan about what happened that night when she and Zhou Shuai attended the business meeting. as Didn¡¯t Zhou Shuai tell her that the two of them didn¡¯t seed in their scheme? This was the first thing that Mo Yan thought of, so Chen Ya couldn¡¯t help but ridicule her because she thought that she had been raped? Not wanting to pay attention to this woman who was looking for trouble for no reason, Mo Yan stood at the door and waited for Luo Tao toe pick her up. At this time, Chen Ya also walked over.

That¡¯s amazing.¡± Mo Yan narrowed her eyes and kicked Chen Ya¡¯s stomach. Chen Ya was wearing high heels. She was kicked back a few steps by Mo Yan and staggered until she fell onto the ground. Chen Ya was stunned and immediately screamed, ¡°Ahhhh! Mo Yan, how dare you!¡± Before Chen Ya could finish speaking, Mo Yan had already stood in front of her, grabbed Chen Ya¡¯s cor, and took out a recording pen in front of her. ¡°Chen Ya, have you forgotten about the previous time we met? Just because you are under the protection of the Deputy General Manager, you dare to act like this in front of me. I have recorded everything you said regarding the business meeting a few nights ago.

You don¡¯t know who he is, what kind of person he is, what kind of things he has done, and what kind of husband and wife we are. You know what, I will take this recording pen with me every day. Be careful what you say in the future. Every day I am in Hong Jing, remember that this knife will always be hanging over your head.¡± Chen Ya panted heavily. The pain in her abdomen made her a little dizzy. Mo Yan was like a leopard that was slowly peeling off its cat¡¯s skin. It stared at her as if it was looking at its prey. ¡°You hit me. I¡¯m going to call the police.¡± Even though Mo Yan had threatened her, Chen Ya still gritted her teeth and spoke harshly. Mo Yan looked at her in amusement. She stood up and stepped back. ¡°Sure! Go ahead! The evidence of your verbal violence against me is all here. Go ahead and report me. I¡¯ll wait here.¡± Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Chapter 63: Bus at Night Chen Ya took out her phone, but she didn¡¯t dare to push any buttons. She stood up angrily, looking as if she wanted to swallow Mo Yan alive. ¡°Mo Yan, quit your position. Otherwise, be prepared to suffer in thispany in the future.¡± Chen Ya covered her stomach and said some harsh words to Mo Yan. With her arms crossed over her chest, Mo Yan¡¯s face was full of mockery. Before she could speak, a familiar male voice came from behind her, ¡°I¡¯m here to pick you up.¡± Mo Yan turned around abruptly. In the rain, the man was standing there with an umbre. The pedestrians seemed to have be a blurry background. Only he was clearly reflected in Mo Yan¡¯s eyes. Luo Tao walked closer slowly. Chen Ya saw the man¡¯s face clearly and could not help but freeze on the spot. ¡°You could have just waited for me inside. Isn¡¯t it cold outside?¡± As he spoke, Luo Tao took off his coat and draped it over Mo Yan¡¯s body. There was a ss awning in front of thepany¡¯s entrance. Mo Yan wanted to stay far away from Chen Ya, that¡¯s why she came out. She did not expect Chen Ya to actuallye out as well in order to humiliate her. Just now, she was filled with anger because of Chen Ya. Only after she saw Luo Tao did she calm down. The coat contained¡¯s Luo Tao¡¯s familiar warmth. Mo Yan wrapped his coat around her again and gave Luo Tao a bright smile, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Hubby!¡± Luo Tao touched Mo Yan¡¯s head, his eyes full of tenderness. He put one hand on Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder and the other hand held the umbre between the two of them. Until they left, he did not give Chen Ya a look. Just when Luo Tao wanted to hail a taxi, Mo Yan suddenly had a strange idea. She pulled Luo Tao and said, ¡°Luo Tao, let¡¯s take the bus home tonight!¡± ¡°Take the bus?¡± Luo Tao looked at her in confusion. ¡°Yes, taking the bus on a rainy day to slowly enjoy the night view of the city. It¡¯s a kind of enjoyment.¡± Mo Yan winked at Luo Tao mischievously, like a child who wanted to to make her parents give in to her. Although he was skeptical of Mo Yan¡¯s words, Luo Tao still nodded his head hesitantly. He had always taken a private car when he traveled. Later on, when he identally ended up with Mo Yan, he would only take a taxi whenever he went out. This was the first time he had taken a public bus. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks The two of them walked to the bus stop. There were not many people at the stop. Some people saw that the public bus waste, so they took a taxi and left. Mo Yan raised her head slightly. In an instant, her expression froze on her face. How could she forget that Luo Tao was wearing a suit today. Wearing a suit and taking the bus? Mo Yan blinked her eyes and touched the fabric of the clothes she was wearing again. No way! Could this be the suit that she had spent nearly 6,000 yuan on? After being stunned for a few seconds, Mo Yanughed dryly and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we take a taxi back!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Tao could not figure out what Mo Yan was trying to do again. Why did she change her mind so quickly? ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s a good idea to take the bus wearing a suit.¡± Mo Yan smiled even more forcefully. A suit that cost 6,000 yuan! Her heart ached. Luo Tao immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Mo Yan¡¯s words. However, he wanted to tease Mo Yan, so he pretended not to know. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I don¡¯t mind.¡± Luo Tao looked into Mo Yan¡¯s eyes and said gently. Mo Yan wanted to cry but had no tears. She screamed silently in her heart. Even if he didn¡¯t mind, she did mind! Why was she always digging a hole for herself! Seeing Luo Tao¡¯s expression of ¡°If you want to take the bus, I¡¯ll take it with you¡±, Mo Yan¡¯s heart was bleeding non-stop. The bus arrived at the right time. Mo Yan looked like she wanted to cry but had no choice but tough. This attracted the attention of the driver and the men behind her, as well as a few girls. After swiping their cards twice, the two of them had almost attracted the attention of the entire bus. The only thing that made Mo Yan happy was that there were not many people on the bus, and there were still seats. She pulled Luo Tao to the back seat. Mo Yan sat in the back seat, and Luo Tao sat beside her. The bus started slowly. It was just as Mo Yan had said, the speed of the journey was very slow.

The bus that Mo Yan had chosen was the one that took the longest detour. The neon lights on the roadside flickered, and the scenery that changed as the bus moved became more vivid in the rain. The people on the bus became fewer and fewer, and time seemed to slow down. Mo Yan rested her head on Luo Tao¡¯s shoulder, their fingers sped together. She did not look at Luo Tao, but kept looking at the scenery outside the window, full of smiles. The raindrops made a regr sound on the bus window, and Mo Yan slowly closed her eyes. She had thought that marrying Luo Tao would be the most unfortunate thing in her life. However, in reality, if it were not for Luo Tao, how would she feel the feeling of being loved by others? Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Chapter 64: His Heart Was Moved The warmthing from her palm made Luo Tao¡¯ heart palpitate even more clearly. He came to this area today to meet one of the old master¡¯s subordinates. It was not because he had something to say, but because the old master wanted to make sure that he was really fine. After meeting that person, Luo Tao took a nap in the hotel. He had not rested well for the past two days because he had to take care of Mo Yan. Zhou Shuai had left a deep shadow on Mo Yan. The past two nights, she would often wake up from nightmares. It was normal for her to wake up two or three times a night. Seeing her wake up in shock and calling his name in a panic, every time he thought of her, his heart would ache. By the time he woke up, it was already six o¡¯clock. Seeing the rain, he subconsciously gave Mo Yan a call. Perhaps it was because he got used to her dependence on him, he would always think of her whenever he woke up. Sure enough, she did not bring an umbre. Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s coquettish voice, Luo Tao¡¯s heart went soft. The next second, an unpleasant voice was heard. It was the voice of a woman. Then, Mo Yan quickly hung up their call. The hotel he was at was not far from Mo Yan¡¯spany. It was just a road away. Luo Tao put on his suit and casually took an umbre as he walked towards Mo Yan¡¯spany. This was the first time he saw Mo Yan, who was like a leopard, fiercely grabbing a woman¡¯s cor. ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard that a rabbit will bite when it¡¯s anxious? You¡¯ve repeatedly stained my name.

Who he is, what kind of person he is, what kind of things he has done, what kind of husband and wife we are, these are not things that you canment on.¡± These words stunned Luo Tao¡¯s heart until it went numb. Was he her everything? The angry little leopard did not notice his existence, which meant that what she said was true. She did not care about his status, did not care about his past. The two of them were still husband and wife. Thinking of this, Luo Tao could not help but smile. His eyes could no longer hide his happiness. The little leopard¡¯s imposing manner made the woman who wanted to call the police even more refreshing to Luo Tao. He did not know how many more surprises Mo Yan could bring him.

He had always thought that she was a girl who needed to be protected. However, at this moment, Luo Tao clearly felt that his heart was moved. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks He had forgotten that if she was really weak, why would she make the decision to marry as a substitute for someone else in order to treat her mother¡¯s illness. As long as she was given the chance, she could also be someone who could protect others. It was a great honor for him to be one of the people whom she wanted to protect. ¡°I¡¯m here to pick you up.¡± He said this from behind her. He did not call her name because he hoped that one day he could openly call her by her real name. Luo Tao was stunned when he saw her turn around. He hadn¡¯t seen such an expression on her face before. He took a few steps forward and put his coat on her body.

He felt that meeting Mo Yan was a miracle that filled his life with surprises. Of course, there were also weird surprises. For example, she had a sudden idea to ask him to take the bus with her. This was the first time in Luo Tao¡¯s life that he had taken a bus. When they held hands and walked to their seats, Luo Tao was still somewhat unable to react. It was not until Mo Yan had squeezed his hand that Luo Tao finally came back to his senses. It was just a bus ride, there was no reason for him to feel so strange about it.

Even if he couldn¡¯t see Mo Yan¡¯s expression, Luo Tao could imagine it, because that was the same expression he had now. Just as Mo Yan said, the city on a rainy night was very beautiful, forgetting the hustle and bustle. The two of them sat on the slow bus, looking at the same scenery. Chapter 65 Chapter 65 When the two of them reached home, it was alreadyte. Although they had umbres, the two of them were still inevitably caught in the rain. Previously, Luo Tao had tilted the umbre to Mo Yan¡¯s side, causing one of his shoulders to be wet. Mo Yan looked at the frowning Luo Tao and smiled unkindly. ¡°Hurry up and take a shower, or else you¡¯ll catch a cold.¡± Mo Yan smiled as she pushed Luo Tao towards the bathroom. Unexpectedly, Luo Tao stopped after taking two steps. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Yan was puzzled. Luo Tao turned around and looked into Mo Yan¡¯s eyes. He touched Mo Yan¡¯s slightly damp hair and said, ¡°You go first.¡± Mo Yan wanted to decline, but Luo Tao¡¯s determined gaze made Mo Yan give in. Instead of wasting time here, she might as well take a quick shower and let Luo Tao shower as soon as she was done. The warm water washed over Mo Yan¡¯s body, dispelling all the coldness. Sighing in satisfaction, Mo Yan recalled the moment when the two of them were on the bus, and a sweet smile could not help but appear on her lips. Mo Yan did not stay in the bathroom for long. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Luo Tao sitting on the sofa in a daze. After calling out to him twice did he finally regain his sense. However, he was still gazing at Mo Yan with a stunned expression As Mo Yan walked closer, Luo Tao raised his head. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. At this moment, Mo Yan was only wearing a long shirt. Her wet long hair hung on both sides of her face, making her face even more attractive without makeup. Luo Tao¡¯s eyes reflected Mo Yan¡¯s bright smile. Mo Yan stretched out her hand and touched the space between Luo Tao¡¯s furrowed eyebrows. She smiled and said, ¡°Why are you so out of it? The rainwater made you dumb?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s teasing voice suddenly made Luo Tao feel annoyed. He silently turned his head. He must have been out of his mind today to apany Mo Yan to mess around. Clenching his right hand, Luo Tao unconsciously rubbed it with his fingertips. There seemed to be a residual heat on this hand that was held by Mo Yan¡¯s ten fingers. ¡°Don¡¯t sit here anymore. Go take a shower.¡± Pulling Luo Tao up, Mo Yan conveniently stuffed a set of pajamas into his hand. After Luo Tao walked into the bedroom, Mo Yan finally cleared the space to wipe away the muddy footprints that were left by the two of them. After putting on the apron, Mo Yan opened the fridge to take a look at what ingredients she had. She was ready to make the Taoist kung pao chicken with shredded potatoes. They had been eating takeout for the past two days. It was not that Mo Yan did not want to cook, but Luo Tao did not let her cook. At that time, she was still too naive, thinking that ordering takeout would cost money. She thought that if she was not allowed to cook, she could teach Luo Tao to cook.

After seeing the pots and pans being scrapped, Mo Yan firmly chose to order takeout for the safety of the kitchenware. It was already impressive considering Luo Tao¡¯s cooking skills that he could cook a pot of non-toxic white porridge. The sound of cutting vegetables rang out. After Luo Tao was done with his shower, he followed the sound to find Mo Yan. Under the warm yellow light, Mo Yan cut the vegetables with her back facing him. She cut the vegetables skillfully and smoothly. It was unknown since when Luo Tao had the habit of watching Mo Yan Cook. He watched her movements and listened to her voice, feeling a warmth that he had grown ustomed to. Luo Tao¡¯s gaze lingered on her back for a long time. Mo Yan felt a little ufortable. He stared at her as if he was burning a hole in her back with his eyes. Mo Yan¡¯s figure was very slender. Perhaps it was because of how busy Mo Yan had been at work recently, butpared to the first time the two of them met, she was much thinner. The long shirt covered a part of her straight and slender legs, and her exposed skin looked even whiter. Luo Tao¡¯s throat was a little dry, and he could not help but swallow his saliva. At this moment, the water in the pot was boiling. Mo Yan moved aside to put in the ingredients. Luo Tao was suffocated by her actions. The half-hidden look of her body was even more attractive.

Perhaps it was because Mo Yan had always picked up her phone very quickly and had never given the other party a chance to spam her.

Kicks and bruises?¡¯ Mo Yan looked at the teenager on the bed through the ss in shock. In other words, Mo Cheng was very likely to have encountered school violence? Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao had unknowingly stood beside Mo Yan. He supported Mo Yan, whose legs were somewhat weak, and consulted the doctor about the procedure for the examination of the injuries. The doctor spoke very carefully. It was probably because he sympathized with the teenager, who was very likely to have encountered school violence, that he spoke a little more to the two of them. When the two of them said that they were going to go downstairs with the doctor to go through the hospitalization procedures, the teacher who had sent Mo Cheng to the hospital just returned. Luo Tao asked Mo Yan to stay behind and said that he would do it himself. Afraid that Luo Tao did not have enough money, Mo Yan transferred the few hundred yuan remaining on her card to him. After thanking the teacher and the two ssmates, Mo Yan asked the teacher about Mo Cheng¡¯s situation in school in private. However, the teacher was only responsible for facilitating the evening self-study in the ssroom every night. Although he had a good impression of Mo Cheng, the specific situation was unknown. After sending the few people away, Mo Yan returned to Mo Cheng¡¯s bedside. Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Looking at the thin youth on the bed, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t control her tears. He was fine a few days ago, how did it suddenly turn out like this? Thinking of this, Mo Yan recalled the doctor¡¯s words again: ¡®Kicks and bruises, new and old injuries.¡¯ Although it was very likely to be school violence, she still needed to confirm it with Mo Cheng. Mo Yan¡¯s tears fell on the back of Mo Cheng¡¯s hand, which was on the drip. Vaguely, Mo Cheng¡¯s fingers seemed to move. Mo Yan looked up in surprise, but the truth was that Mo Cheng was still asleep. The door of the ward was pushed open. Mo Yan did not turn around until a coat was draped over her body. Luo Tao took another chair and sat beside Mo Yan. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The doctor said that Mo Cheng will wake up when he has rested enough.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan replied in a low voice. Luo Tao held her in his arms, and her gaze was still fixed on the young man. She did not have anything to say. Mo Yan only felt that she was really useless. She could not protect everyone around her. The next day, Mo Yan initially wanted to apany Mo Cheng to school. However, she had just applied for leave the day before yesterday. If she continued to apply for leave, not only would thepany be unhappy with her, but her gossipy colleagues would gossip about her more. In addition to the rumors and gossip from before, she would be punished even more. Other than paying for her mother¡¯s medical fees, their food, clothing, and transportation, she also had to pay more attention to Mo Cheng. Thus, she could not afford to lose this job. After weighing the pros and cons, Mo Yan still made the decision to go to work. She entrusted Mo Cheng to Luo Tao. At this time, she was not in the mood to deal with Luo Tao. She could only tell him that Mo Cheng was a very important person to her, hoping that Luo Tao could help her take good care of Mo Cheng. Luo Tao did not ask any more questions and gently agreed to Mo Yan¡¯s request. For the current Mo Yan, Luo Tao was the only person she could rely on. Not long after Mo Yan left, Luo Tao picked up an apple and slowly peeled it. He said, ¡°She¡¯s gone. You can get up now.¡± Seeing that the person on the bed still had no reaction, Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°You want to continue to pretend?¡± Seeing that he could not continue to pretend, Mo Cheng could only open his eyes and look at his brother-inw. ¡°Tell me, why?¡± Luo Tao lowered his head and continued to move his hands. The entire apple skin was slowly hanging down in a straight line. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Cheng lowered his head and did not answer. His entire person looked listless. ¡°If you want your sister to be worried all the time, then continue to be like this.¡± Luo Tao said casually. Mo Cheng held it in for a long time before he finally said, ¡°I¡¯m really fine. It¡¯s just that studying is too tiring.¡± Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. ¡°It must be quite tiring. So tiring that reading a book can give you a body full of injuries.¡± Mo Cheng was at a loss for words. He was stunned by his brother-inw¡¯s words. ¡°It¡¯s just a few seniors. They borrowed some money from me, and there was some dispute in the middle, so¡­¡± speaking to this point, Mo Cheng found himself unable to continue. Luo Tao raised his eyebrows and smiled as he took the words out of Mo Chong¡¯s mouth. ¡°There are senior students who think that you are easy to bully and want money from you, but if you don¡¯t have money, you get beaten up? Is that it?¡± Although Mo Cheng did not admit it, Luo Tao was already certain that what he said was the truth. Looking at Mo Cheng¡¯s side profile, Luo Tao realized that he looked somewhat simr to Mo Yan. Luo Tao¡¯s originally mocking thoughts gradually faded away. The two of them were quite simr in some ways, but Mo Yan had slowly matured through experience, while Mo Cheng was still an ignorant student. It was natural to be afraid of senior students who were taller than him, stronger than him, and had formed cliques. However, blindly backing down would only increase the arrogance of such people. Before Luo Tao could speak, Mo Cheng spoke first. ¡°Brother-inw, am I really useless? Whenever I encounter something, I always have to ask my sister for help.¡± Luo Tao didn¡¯t say anything, but he muttered in his heart. This brat was quite self-aware. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°I know I shouldn¡¯t have given them money, but I¡¯m really afraid. I can¡¯t beat them, I have no choice.¡± Then, Mo Cheng¡¯s box of chatter seemed to be split open, and he spoke out all his grievances. Luo Tao was shocked, but he did not dare to interrupt him. He could only listen to his rambling while sending a message to Qin Yuan, asking him to get a man¡¯s watch with a camera hidden in it. It did not have to be an expensive watch. It just had to be functional. ¡°Brother-inw, I really don¡¯t dare to tell my sister about this. I¡¯m afraid that she will be worried.¡± Mo Cheng ended with this sentence. Luo Tao could not help but secretly sigh in relief. It was finally over. As he took a piece of the peeled apple toward Mo Cheng¡¯s mouth, Luo Tao said, ¡°Eat!¡± Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Mo Cheng held the apple in his hand and felt like he was about to break down. Did his brother-inw not listen to a single word he said? He wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He brought the apple to his mouth and bit it hard. Although he was just rambling, finally letting everything out made him feel much better. Seeing Mo Cheng like this, Luo Tao knew that he had regained his rationality. He asked, ¡°Do you want to solve this matter yourself, or do you want me and your sister to help you?¡± ¡°Solve it myself?¡± Mo Cheng paused and asked. Luo Tao did not answer, waiting for Mo Cheng to think things through. He believed in power, whether it was the power of power or the power of money. As long as he decided to bring people under his wings, he would use these to open a path for them. However, when he was with Mo Yan, Luo Tao saw the importance of his own strength. Just like an old saying, it was better to teach a person to fish than to give the person a fish. He could pave the way for the Mo siblings, but what about in the future? When they weren¡¯t under his protection anymore, what could they rely on to survive? ¡°I, I want to solve it myself. What should I do?¡± Mo Cheng asked hesitantly. ¡°The first method is to use money to find thugs. Just beat them up like they beat you up.¡± Hearing Luo Tao¡¯s nonsensical words, the corner of Mo Cheng¡¯s mouth twitched. Why didn¡¯t this brother- inw of his seem like a good person? ¡°The second method, your school should have surveince cameras, right? Lure them to a ce with surveince cameras. If they attack you, you will have something on them. Naturally, they won¡¯t dare to attack you.¡± Mo Cheng looked at Luo Tao with a mournful face. ¡°If they dare to attack, they¡¯ll naturally choose a ce with no one! How do I lure them to a ce with surveince cameras?¡± ¡°That¡¯s up to you. If I help you think of everything, what else do you need your brain for?¡± Mo Cheng was stunned by Luo Tao¡¯s words. This brother-inw of his was really not a good person. ¡°Is there no other way?¡± ¡°There is, but I don¡¯t think you can do it.¡± ¡°What?¡± Mo Cheng asked curiously. ¡°Three points, family status, interpersonal rtionship, and learning ability. If you are at the top, everyone will worship you, and no one will dare toy a finger on you.¡± Luo Tao could not help but chuckle as he spoke. Wasn¡¯t he like this back then? Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Mo Cheng waspletely shut down by Luo Tao. He could not understand how his sister could get along with such someone with such bad character . In the end, Mo Cheng could only look for ces with surveince cameras. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Although this brother-inw was unreliable to him, he knew that his brother-inw was very good to his sister. In fact, he had already woken upst night, but he did not know how to face his sister, nor did he know how to exin the source of these injuries to his sister. He was afraid that his sister would be worried, so he hid these things. However, in the end, he was completely exposed by Luo Tao. Mo Cheng stole a nce at the man. The sun shone gently on him. Probably not many people would have thought that he was the one who said those words. The two of them had finished talking. Luo Tao thought that there was no need to stay in the ward. Although Mo Yan asked him to help take care of Mo Cheng, Mo Cheng¡¯s biggest worry was the issue of school violence. Since it had been resolved, there was no reason for Luo Tao to stay. Two men alone? Besides, Mo Cheng also needed his personal space, right? Walking out of the ward, Luo Tao happened to run into Qin Yuan. ¡°Huo Zhen, I¡¯ve brought what you asked for.¡± Seeing Qin Yuan, Luo Tao was a little speechless. Did he have nothing better to do? That he would come personally to deliver it. ¡°The thing.¡± Luo Tao reached out his hand. Seeing his good friend¡¯s cold attitude, Qin Yuan thought that someone had offended him again. He asked curiously, ¡°Huo Zhen, are you in a bad mood? Who offended you? Tell me, I¡¯ll help you deal with him.¡± As he spoke, Qin Yuan took out a box from his pocket. Luo Tao had a bad feeling when he saw the packaging. It was indeed a limited-edition watch. Luo Tao held the watch tightly in his hand and looked at Qin Yuan expressionlessly. ¡°This is normal?¡± ¡°Yes! Huo Zhen, didn¡¯t you buy a custom model before? Isn¡¯t this limited-edition watch considered normal?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Qin Yuan¡¯s tone was also filled with surprise. He did not know why Huo Zhen had such a reaction. Luo Tao took a deep breath. He couldn¡¯t afford to be angry with Qin Yuan. Luo Tao took the watch and prepared to chase him away. However, it was easier to invite a god than to send him away. Seeing that Luo Tao wasn¡¯t angry anymore, Qin Yuan became mischievous again. ¡°Who do you want the watch for? Sister-inw¡¯s brother? He was able to get on your good side so quickly?¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Although it was just a question, Qin Yuan was curious! Before he came, he had already done a background check on the person Luo Tao was going to give the watch to. Just as Luo Tao thought, Qin Yuan had nothing to do. He didn¡¯t need to be in the jewelry store at all times, and he wasn¡¯t needed at his family business either. As soon as he saw Luo Tao, he immediately ran over. ¡°Sigh, your brother-inw is really pitiful. He was bullied so badly at school.¡± Qin Yuan clicked his tongue as he spoke. The veins on Luo Tao¡¯s forehead were throbbing non-stop. He wanted to kick Qin Yuan away. ¡°Huo Zhen, where are you going? Wait for me. I¡¯ll go with you to see your brother-inw.¡± ¡°Get lost.¡± Luo Tao said coldly to Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan rubbed his nose and followed behind Luo Tao. Then, he saw a scene that left him dumbstruck. There were a lot of people in the breakfast shop next to the hospital. Luo Tao squeezed in and ordered porridge and a few side dishes. His familiarity with the scene made Qin Yuan seriously suspect that he wasn¡¯t really Huo Zhen. He walked to Luo Tao¡¯s side, Qin Yuan pointed at the breakfast in his hand with his eyes wide open. ¡°Huo Zhen, are you that poor now? This is what you eat for breakfast? And you even have to queue up to buy it yourself? Brother, your family is not bankrupt, do you have to do all this?¡± Troubled by Qin Yuan, Luo Tao¡¯s tone became even colder. ¡°Qin Yuan, if you say one more word, pack up and go to Africa. Don¡¯te back until you have stayed for a year.¡± ¡°Huo Zhen, you¡¯re being too mean!¡± Qin Yuan wailed. ¡°Because you are being annoying.¡± Luo Tao pushed the door open and walked into Mo Cheng¡¯s ward. Seeing that the door was tightly shut, Qin Yuan sighed and resigned himself to his fate and left the hospital. The office of Hong Jing Real Estate Sales Group A was very quiet. Unlike the clerks who quietly operated theputer every day, the sales office in the sales area was usually noisy from morning to night. Mo Yan, who was absent-minded, was worried about Mo Cheng¡¯s injury. She did not notice the strange atmosphere in the office and the eyes of her colleagues who pretended to nce at her casually. As she was sorting out the clients¡¯ information, Mo Yan was thinking about the school violence and identally destroyed the information. She sighed and put the information aside. Mo Yan searched for information about school bullying on the inte. It would have been better if she hadn¡¯t read it, but when she did, she felt a chill run down her spine. The news was shocking. It was hard to imagine that a child who was still in school could be so evil. Just when Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but want to rush back to the hospital, her phone rang. It showed that the caller was Mo Cheng. Without thinking, Mo Yan took her phone and ran to the stairs in the corridor. The familiar voice on the other side of the phone made Mo Yan tear up. Her heart that had been uneasy was finally allowed to rx. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Cheng¡¯s voice sounded good and energetic. He said that he would exin the matter to herter that night. Mo Yan also knew that now was not the time to discuss it in detail, so she agreed with Mo Cheng¡¯s words. After the call ended, Mo Yan still could not control her emotions. She sat on the steps and rxed for a while. Fortunately, Mo Cheng was fine, and it did not develop into the terrible situation that was on the news. Just now, Mo Cheng mentioned on the phone that Luo Tao was the one who enlightened him. She should thank Luo Tao. ¡°Hello.¡± A pleasant male voice came from the other side of the phone. ¡°Luo Tao, Mo Cheng called me just now.¡± As she said this, Mo Yan was silent for a while. She had a feeling that Luo Tao knew her true identity. Otherwise, how could he not be curious when she was so concerned about Mo Cheng? ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was as calm as ever. After hesitating for a moment, Mo Yan still did not voice out her suspicions. If the truth were toe to light, many things would change. ¡°Thank you for taking care of Mo Cheng for me. Without you, I really don¡¯t know what I would have done.¡± This is property ? N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan¡¯s voice was very gentle, with a faint nasal tone. Luo Tao nced at Mo Cheng, who was eavesdropping on his call with a bowl in his hand. He got up and walked out of the ward. ¡°You¡¯re wee. It¡¯s what I should do.¡± Just as Mo Yan was thinking about how to repay him, Luo Tao spoke again. ¡°Mo Cheng is fine now. Shouldn¡¯t we talk about our problems?¡± ¡°What?¡± Mo Yan was shocked. Could it be that Luo Tao didn¡¯t askst night and was waiting for this moment? Sensing Mo Yan¡¯s panic, Luo Tao chuckled. ¡°Twice.¡± ¡°Twice?¡± Mo Yan was puzzled. ¡°Yes, twice already. Mo Cheng¡¯s callst night was the second time.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan blinked and instantly reacted. Her pale face turned red instantly. ¡°You! Mo Cheng is in trouble, why are you still thinking about this?¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s voice regain its vitality, Luo Tao looked out of the window with a gentler expression. ¡°I¡¯m just teasing you. I noticed that you¡¯ve been listless all this time.¡± After pausing for a few seconds, Luo Tao continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mo Cheng is fine. Don¡¯t take everything on yourself. Trust me more.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s words made Mo Yan suddenly feel a wave of bitterness in her heart, and she felt as if she was about to start crying again. Chapter 71 Chapter 71 After a while, Mo Yan smiled brightly and said in a light tone, ¡°Since you are so reliable, from now on, I¡¯ll rely on you. Work hard and earn a lot of money to support me.¡± Luo Taoughed, making Mo Yan¡¯s ears itch. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°What do you want to eat tonight? I¡¯ll make it for you.¡± ¡°I can order from you?¡± Hearing Luo Tao¡¯s cheeky voice, Mo Yan could not help butugh as well. ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll let you order, then ask Mo Cheng what he wants to eat.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have to think about it carefully. I¡¯ll text you when I¡¯ve decided.¡± ¡°Okay, don¡¯t forget.¡± After hanging up the phone, Mo Yan smiled happily as she walked towards the office. ¡°How do you think Mo Yan got married to such a person?¡± As soon as she reached the door, Mo Yan heard gossip about her again. Hearing gossip no longer made her upset. However, Mo Yan still did not understand why gossiping about her was so fun. Was it better than earning money? ¡°Going to jail and hitting people¡­ I heard that Mo Yan¡¯s husband is not working right now and it¡¯s all thanks to her.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe it! No wonder she is so okay with selling herself for money.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, everyone is talking about it! Mo Yan¡¯s husband is aplete piece of trash! Mo Yan is also afraid of letting people know that she¡¯s married to such a person!¡± With a bang, the office door was forcefully opened. Mo Yan didn¡¯t seem to notice the people surrounding her as she walked straight to her seat. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. When these colleagues saw that Mo Yan had returned, they could not help but look at each other and then dispersed. The office was quiet.

She told me about it. Let me tell you about it.¡± The voices of the few people who were gossiping just now suddenly rang out in the office. Everyone was stunned as they looked at the source of the voices. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan originally did not want to make it a bigger deal than it was so that there wouldn¡¯t be tension between her and her colleagues. However, based on the current situation, even if she were to just endure it, she would still not be able to escape being isted. At least this way, people wouldn¡¯t dare to provoke her anymore. ¡°Mo, Mo Yan, what was that just now?¡± Mo Yan picked up the recording pen and smiled at the person who asked the question. ¡°You mean this?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The person nodded with a dry smile. ¡°This is a recording pen! I usually bring it with me during meetings, but I seem to have identally kept it on just now.¡± Mo Yan smiled innocently. The woman almost choked on Mo Yan¡¯s words, and she became even more embarrassed under Mo Yan¡¯s gaze. ¡°Then, then can you delete the recording?¡± Everyone¡¯s gaze fell on the woman, causing the woman to have no choice but to plead with Mo Yan. Mo Yan, who had already made up her mind to make an example out of the few of them, turned a blind eye to her distorted expression and said with a full smile, ¡°It sounds like you guys were discussing about me. I¡¯m quite curious. How about you guys tell me what you guys were talking about so that I don¡¯t have to listen to the recording?¡± The women¡¯s faces were pale. They were just gossiping about her behind her back. How did they get caught by her? And they were even asked to repeat what they said? How could they? Suddenly, a shrewd woman with short hair rolled her eyes and said, ¡°Mo Yan, I heard that you¡¯re married. Why aren¡¯t you wearing a ring?¡± She didn¡¯t know whether the woman was really curious or was just trying to divert her attention. Mo Yan thought it was funny. She had already recorded what they had said. Was there any use in changing the topic? However, when she thought about what they said about Luo Tao, Mo Yan¡¯s eyes could not help but darken. ¡°Who does she think she is? Judging others¡­¡± ¡°Ring?

She then continued talking about how her husband had promised her that he would only love her when he proposed to her. He also said that diamondssted forever and that this diamond represented his heart. Listening to the short-haired girl¡¯s bragging, Mo Yan wanted to open a bag of melon seeds and cross her legs to listen to the bedtime story. Seeing that Mo Yan was quiet, the short-haired girl redirected the topic of conversation back to her. Chapter 72 Chapter 72 ¡°What? Mo Yan, your husband can¡¯t even bear to buy you a diamond ring? Even if he can¡¯t buy such a big one, you should at least have a small one!¡± Not only did the short-haired woman¡¯s words not provoke Mo Yan, it instead reminded her of the bracelet that was worth a million dors. Mo Yan smiled and said to the woman, ¡°I don¡¯t have a diamond ring because I don¡¯t like diamonds.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t like it? You mean you can¡¯t afford it, right?¡± The short-haired woman replied quickly, causing the surrounding people to snicker. They were allughing at Mo Yan. Mo Yan followed the crowd and lowered her head tough. She said neither too fast nor too slow, ¡°Have you heard of the Diamond Scam?¡± ¡°What?¡± The short-haired woman suddenly raised her voice. ¡°When diamonds were first discovered, due to the scarcity of production and the difficulty of mining, its price remained high. After all, everything in the world is valued for its rarity. However, in thete 19th century, workers discovered a diamond vein in South Africa that had tens of millions of carats.¡± At this point, Mo Yan raised her head and smiled at the short-haired woman. Those who knew the story nced at Mo Yan, then nced at the short-haired woman and silently returned to their seats. The short-haired woman was obviously not one of those who knew. She was still waiting for Mo Yan to continue. Mo Yan did not disappoint her and finished her sentence. ¡°After the diamond vein was discovered, the diamond merchants at that time panicked. They were afraid that diamonds would fall from rare to scrap. So, apany gritted their teeth and bought the entire vein. They strictly controlled the number of diamonds produced, giving the impression that diamonds were scarce. And the most brilliant thing about thispany was that it turned diamonds into a symbol of love.

I didn¡¯t expect your feelings to be so fragile.

My husband said that diamonds are not valuable and it¡¯s useless to buy them. He said that if one day I don¡¯t like him anymore, it would be better to be able to sell the thing than give it back to him.¡± Mo Yan did not feel guilty at all. After all, she and Luo Tao were husband and wife, and Luo Tao had given her the bracelet. She could do whatever she wanted with it. The short-haired woman almost rolled her eyes in anger at Mo Yan. Her husband had been married before, and he was not young either. The short-haired woman was often said to be a third wheel. However, the man was not stupid. Before their marriage, he had already notarized his property and only bought the short-haired woman a diamond ring with a significant number of grams. The short-haired woman originally thought that it would be fine to not get anything else, but hearing what Mo Yan said gave her conflicted feelings. Seeing that the short-haired woman was speechless, someone shouted at Mo Yan, ¡°You¡¯ve said so much, but I haven¡¯t seen your husband buy anything for you. Wait till your husband buys you something before talking about others!¡± This person was someone who easily believed the rumors that she heard. Unexpectedly, Mo Yan nodded her head with an indifferent expression and said, ¡°That¡¯s fine too. I¡¯ve never been willing to wear the bracelet that Luo Tao gave me. That¡¯s why you guys misunderstand my rtionship with my husband. I¡¯ll wear it tomorrow so you guys can take a look!¡± ¡°Bracelet?

Mo Yan shook the recording pen in her hand, smiled and said, ¡°Be careful of what you say. You don¡¯t want to stab yourself in the back.¡± For the whole morning, Group A¡¯s office was full of petty talk. Everyone¡¯s clearest understanding was that Mo Yan was not to be trifled with. Especially those who were recorded by Mo Yan, they could only suppress their anger. It would be bad if Mo Yan were to send the recording to thepany orin to their leader. After all, no one liked people who gossiped behind other people¡¯s backs. Seeing that the office had quieted down, Mo Yan could not help but heave a sigh of relief in her heart. Although she thought that her life would still not be easy in the future, what she did today served as a warning to everyone not to mess with her. Chapter 73 Chapter 73 After that, no one bothered Mo Yan anymore. Those who still wanted to stir up trouble all held their breath and waited for Mo Yan to make a fool of herself tomorrow. Mo Yan was able to have a peaceful afternoon. Because Mo Cheng was still in the hospital, Mo Yan did not work overtime. When it was time, she clocked out and left. Mo Cheng wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, while Luo Tao ordered boiled fish and braised prawns. Mo Yan nned to go home first and cook the dishes before bringing them to the hospital for the two of them. She did not know if Mo Cheng could eat these dishes given his condition and thought that it would be better if she were to add a vegetable dish. Then, she went to the market. Last night, she was afraid that she would not have enough to pay for Mo Cheng¡¯s stay in the hospital, so she borrowed 2,000 yuan from Xu Wan since she hadn¡¯t gotten her sry for the month yet. What she did not expect was that Luo Tao did not ask her for more money, and the remaining money was enough to cover their expenses at the end of the month. She picked a good fish and asked the boss to weigh it. Mo Yan had noticed this stall before. The boss was honest. He had always killed fish in front of the customers, so there would not be a situation where customers were charged more than the fishes were worth. After weighing the ribs and 2 catties of prawns, Mo Yan headed home. These few dishes would take a lot of time to cook so she did not know if she would be able to catch the last bus. It had rained yesterday, and the road was still wet. Mo Yan had to walk carefully. Suddenly, a figure stopped in front of Mo Yan. Mo Yan stopped and looked up at the person. ¡°Luo Tao?¡± The surprise in Mo Yan¡¯s eyes made Luo Tao chuckle. ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Tao took the dishes from Mo Yan¡¯s hand and turned slightly. Mo Yan saw that there was someone following behind him. ¡°Cheng?¡± Mo Yan said in surprise and immediately went forward to hold Mo Cheng¡¯s hand. ¡°Why are you discharged from the hospital already?

Moreover, you know that I don¡¯t like hospitals.¡± Mo Yan did not believe Mo Cheng¡¯s words and turned to look at Luo Tao. ¡°Yes, the doctor said that he could go home.¡± Actually, Luo Tao would have preferred if Mo Cheng were to stay at the hospital longer. The two of them were supposed to be alone, but now there was a little brat. He was quite annoyed . ¡°Sister, let¡¯s go home quickly!¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Seeing that his brother-inw was looking at him with increasingly unkind eyes, Mo Cheng hurriedly held onto Mo Yan¡¯s hand and walked home. The rented house, which was not very big to begin with, became even more crowded after Mo Cheng moved in. Mo Cheng was chased to clean up the house, and Mo Yan left Luo Tao in the kitchen. Although Luo Tao and Mo Cheng were both kitchen killers, Luo Tao knew more than Mo Cheng. Somehow, Luo Tao had good knife skills. With Luo Tao¡¯s help, Mo Yan¡¯s efficiency also increased a lot. Not long after, they were done with the first dish, sweet and sour pork ribs. The fragrance floated out from the kitchen. Mo Cheng, who was originally wiping the table, floated to the kitchen door, waiting for the food to be served. Without thinking, Mo Yan picked up a piece of pork ribs and brought it to Luo Tao¡¯s mouth. Luo Tao took the opportunity to eat it, and his tongue was instantly scalded. The etiquette that he had cultivated for a long time made Luo Tao unable to spit or bite. His entire body seemed to be frozen in ce. Mo Yan was shocked to realize that she had done something stupid. She quickly asked Luo Tao to open his mouth and take it out. Then, she handed him a cup of cold boiled water. Mo Cheng did not dare to make a sound. He hugged his stomach and could not straighten his back. ¡°I¡¯d better leave you guys alone to continue flirting.¡± Luo Tao felt the heat in his mouth gradually fade. He nced at Mo Cheng lightly and made Mo Cheng completely stop. With this awkwardness, Mo Yan did not let Luo Tao taste her food anymore. She chased both of them into the living area and busied herself. In the living area, Mo Cheng and Luo Tao stared at each other. Mo Cheng nced at his brother-inw a few times, and could not help but continue teasing him. ¡°Brother-inw, my sister¡¯s cooking is delicious, right?¡± It was not easy for Mo Cheng to hold back hisughter and say these words.

Mo Cheng waved his hands repeatedly. He had better be obedient! He did not want to be scalded like how Luo Tao was scalded just now. During dinner, Mo Yan asked Luo Tao if Mo Cheng could eat such vorful dishes. Luo Tao nced at Mo Cheng. Without waiting for Luo Tao to speak, Mo Cheng opened his mouth and said, ¡°I can! I fainted because I did not eat regrly. Sister, you have to nourish me properly.¡± Looking at Mo Cheng¡¯s energetic appearance, Mo Yan was relieved. During the meal, she focused on eating. She decided to ask about the school violenceter in the evening. Mo Cheng would stay here for the next two days and return to ss after he recovered from his injuries. Chapter 74 Chapter 74 At night, Mo Yan arranged for Mo Cheng and Luo Tao to sleep in the bedroom while she slept on the sofa. Hearing this arrangement, the veins on Luo Tao¡¯s forehead bulged as he turned around to look at Mo Cheng. Mo Cheng was invading their privacy as a couple. He took the nket that Mo Yan had found for him and flipped over to lie on the bed. After being married for so long, not only had he not slept with his wife, he even had to face a man while lying on his and his wife¡¯s bed? Luo Tao¡¯s pair of ck eyes stared straight at Mo Yan. Mo Yan swallowed her saliva under his gaze. She thought about it and stood on her tiptoes to kiss Luo Tao on the side of his face. Although she wanted to sleep with Mo Cheng so she could ask about Mo Cheng¡¯s condition, Luo Tao obviously would not let them sleep together. Since Mo Cheng was not well, she could not let Mo Cheng sleep on the sofa, so the two of them had to sleep in the bedroom. Because of Mo Yan¡¯s kiss, Luo Tao was even more restless. His hand had just touched Mo Yan¡¯s waist when Mo Yan slipped away from his arms like a rabbit. Seeing the door close and Mo Yan¡¯s figure disappear behind the door, Luo Tao could not help but sigh. He became more and more annoyed with the brat on the bed. ¡°Has my sister left?¡± Mo Cheng popped his head out from under the nket. His eyes rolled around but did not see Mo Yan¡¯s figure. ¡°Ha! Coward.¡± Luo Tao did not want to bother with him. Heid on the bed and turned his back to Mo Cheng. ¡°Brother-inw, you can¡¯t take it out on me just because you can¡¯t share a bed with my sister!¡± Mo Cheng leaned against the headboard of the bed and said to Luo Tao¡¯s back. Luo Tao thought that if he could return to the morning, he would definitely beat himself to death for sympathizing with Mo Cheng. He never expected that after Mo Cheng opened up to him, he would be like a chatterbox. Actually, Mo Cheng was a kind-hearted and good-natured child. However, the sudden change in his family situation gave him an unspeakable sense of inferiority. This was why he was easily bullied in school. Mo Cheng talked about his school and his ssmates. Even if Luo Tao ignored him, he didn¡¯t mind talking to himself. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks In the morning, Luo Tao and Mo Yan both got up early. They had dark circles under their eyes. Luo Tao waspletely annoyed by Mo Cheng. Mo Yan was not used to sleeping on the sofa and was thinking about Mo Cheng. She didn¡¯t fall asleep until early in the morning. Early in the morning, Luo Tao saw Mo Yan take out the box with the jade bracelet. He was a little curious. Wasn¡¯t she afraid of touching it? Why was she suddenly ready to wear it again? Mo Yan put the bracelet on her hand. The crystal clear jade bracelet seemed to be even more beautiful on Mo Yan¡¯s fair skin. Mo Yan looked at it for a while and then thought of the clothes in the wardrobe. She didn¡¯t know what to wear to match it. After taking off the bracelet, Mo Yan went to cook breakfast. At this time, she didn¡¯t dare to wear it. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org. Luo Tao leaned against the door and asked Mo Yan why she suddenly wanted to wear the bracelet. Mo Yan told him everything that happened yesterday. Of course, Mo Yan briefly insulted her colleagues, which made her seem even more awe-inspiring. Although being husband and wife, they had to be honest with each other, she did not want to make Luo Tao feel negative early in the morning. Luo Tao listened quietly and did not interrupt. A warm atmosphere slowly flowed between the two of them. Of course, if Mo Cheng did not interrupt them with his eyes, it would be a good morning. Mo Yan said to Mo Cheng, ¡°You can study at home during the day or go to the hospital to apany mother. If you don¡¯t want to go out, just wait for me to get off work at night.¡± Mo Yan said this to Mo Cheng in private. Although she had her suspicions that Luo Tao knew, as long as she didn¡¯t say it out loud, she would still be considered Mo Lian. Mo Cheng asked her, ¡°Sister, why didn¡¯t you say this out loud during dinner?¡± Mo Yan found a random reason. ¡°I don¡¯t want Luo Tao to know that mother is sick. I want to bear the burden myself and not add to the pressure on him.¡± Mo Cheng was skeptical of his sister¡¯s words, but seeing the pleading look on his sister¡¯s face, he had no choice but to agree.

Luo Tao caressed Mo Yan¡¯s flushed cheeks, his gaze gentle. ¡°Go! Don¡¯t lose to them.¡± Chapter 75 Chapter 75 As soon as she entered the office, Mo Yan noticed that many people were sizing her up. ¡°Aiyo, Mrs. Mo who looks down on diamonds is here! Hurry up and show us what your husband bought you.¡± The short-haired woman stared at Mo Yan like a crow-eyed chicken. Smiling at the woman, Mo Yan pretended to casually lift up her hair to reveal the delicate jade bracelet on her wrist. She greeted everyone, ¡°Good morning!¡± Mo Yan and the short-haired woman, one standing and one sitting, one steady and one anxious, the difference was obvious. ¡°My God! Mo Yan, is this the gift your husband gave you? What a beautiful jade bracelet!¡± A colleague took the lead to walk to Mo Yan¡¯s side and eximed at the jade bracelet. Since ancient times, gold and jade had been passed down. The sounds of gold and jade jewelry was enough to show one¡¯s beauty. Imagine if a beautiful woman was wearing a jade bracelet and dancing gracefully in front of you, how graceful, charming, and beautiful would that be? Using a jade bracelet as a object of love also expressed the implicit and passionate possessiveness of lovers. Therefore, whether it was for sale or inheritance, the value of a jade bracelet was much higher than a diamond. Mo Yan nodded to the person who came and said with a smile, ¡°Yes, I think it¡¯s very beautiful too.¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. This colleague did not have any friction with Mo Yan.

How much does it cost?¡± The person who spoke was actually a male colleague. He was also attracted by the jade bracelet on Mo Yan¡¯s hand.

Chen Ya had not seen Mo Yan¡¯s bracelet, but she had heard yesterday that Mo Yan was going to bring her wedding gift from her husband to thepany. So, she hade early in the morning to see Mo Yan make a fool of herself. When the crowd saw Chen Ya, they could not help but silently make way for her. It was not that Chen Ya was very powerful, but that she had a powerful uncle backing her up. In order not to be bullied by the leaders, not many people in thepany were willing to offend her. Chen Ya, on the other hand, did not have any self-awareness. She put on the airs of a leader in thepany every day. Mo Yan had already fallen out with Chen Ya a long time ago. When she saw hering, her smiling face instantly disappeared. She even wanted to turn around and leave. Arguing with Chen Ya was a little degrading. ¡°Why are you leaving? Did you specially get a fake to show off to everyone?¡± Chen Ya paused for a moment, then used an even harsher voice to say, ¡°Thepany is for you guys work, not for you guys to show off! If you want to show off, you can show off your achievements.¡± As she said this, Chen Ya used a sharp gaze to sweep across the people surrounding Mo Yan, and even red at the people who praised Mo Yan¡¯s beautiful bracelet. However, these words almost made Mo Yanugh. Chen Ya was someone who abused her authority to bully employees. ¡°Supervisor Chen, it¡¯s not time for work yet. It¡¯s my freedom to talk to my colleagues,¡± Mo Yan retracted her smile and said calmly. Chen Ya was shocked and subconsciously nced at the clock. Sure enough, it was 7:52 am. It was not time for work yet. But who was Chen Ya? How could she admit defeat in front of Mo Yan? ¡°I¡¯m just reminding you guys not to do useless things. Showing off with fake goods will make peopleugh their heads off.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan¡¯s gaze on Chen Ya gradually darkened. She had learned her lesson. She was not as brainless as before. ¡°Supervisor Chen, you keep saying that my bracelet is fake. Are you an expert in appraising?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s tone was sarcastic. Chen Ya smiled contemptuously and said to Mo Yan, ¡°Why don¡¯t you show it to me?¡± She didn¡¯t believe that Mo Yan could show her anything good. How could Mo Yan¡¯s thug husband be willing to spend money on her? As Chen Ya thought about this, the scene of the man holding an umbre for Mo Yan shed across her mind. Although Mo Yan called that man her husband, Chen Ya didn¡¯t believe that such a good-looking man was the rumored thug. Mo Yan must have hired someone to put on an act. Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Mo Yan did not ce the bracelet in front of her like Chen Ya had said. Instead, she raised her hand and gently stroked it. She knew that Chen Ya could see it clearly. The easiest way to identify a jade bracelet was to judge it by its shape, color, and luster, as well as the sound of a hard object striking it.

Chen Ya stared at the jade bracelet for a long while, then took a step forward, preparing to touch the jade bracelet. However, in the next second, Mo Yan dodged it. What a joke. With Chen Ya¡¯s vicious nature, if she were to touch Mo Yan¡¯s bracelet, it would probably get damaged. Mo Yan clearly saw the malice in Chen Ya¡¯s eyes. Chen Ya¡¯s face was gloomy. She did not think that Mo Yan would really be able to show her something good. She wanted to take a look. If it was real, she would break it when she knocked on it. If it was fake, she would return it to Mo Yan andugh at her. Although it looked very likely to be real, as long as she insisted that it was an ident and said that there was already crack on the bracelet, she would not have to pay much even if she had to pay for it. Chen Ya did not expect Mo Yan to be so vignt. Mo Yan noticed it before she even spoke. ¡°You need to listen to the sound of the jade to determine if it is real or fake.¡± As she spoke, Chen Ya extended her hand towards Mo Yan. Mo Yan and Chen Ya looked at each other with a mocking gaze. Everyone knew of Chen Ya¡¯s intentions. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry. I know if it¡¯s real or fake.¡± ¡°Ha!¡± Chen Ya sneered and questioned, ¡°You don¡¯t dare to let me knock on it? Nowadays, the technique of forging jade is very advanced. It may look real, but¡­¡± Chen Ya didn¡¯t finish her words, but everyone understood what she meant. At that time, a few unreasonable people looked at Mo Yan with unusual eyes, judging whether what Chen Ya said was true or not. Mo Yan didn¡¯t want to argue with her, so she raised her leg and walked to her work station. It was almost eight o¡¯clock now. ¡°You are affecting your colleagues and thepany. Mo Yan, in the future, it would be best if you did not bring such improper manners to thepany.¡± ¡°Improper manners?¡± Mo Yan turned around and looked at the woman who was standing high and mighty not far away. ¡°I would like to ask what so-called improper manners you are referring to? Am I wearing jewelry improperly or chatting with others improperly?¡± Mo Yan approached Chen Ya step by step. Mo Yan decided to beat her at her own game. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°I¡­¡± Chen Ya had just said one word when she was interrupted by Mo Yan. ¡°You what? You said that I affected thepany. Did I talk too much at work or did I stop working? Or did you convict me just because I wore a bracelet? This is my first time i¡¯ve worn my bracelet. Some people show off their diamond rings every day. Why don¡¯t you say anything about them?¡± Chen Ya could only hold it in. ¡°Supervisor Chen, there are quite a number of people wearing jewelry in thispany. Some are cheap, some are expensive. Earrings, rings, bracelets, nes are everywhere. Why? Are you going to have people remove all of them?¡± Mo Yan said as she looked around. The people around her were stunned, wondering how Mo Yan was so eloquent. Chen Ya couldn¡¯t get a word in edgewise. ¡°I¡­¡± Chen Ya opened her mouth again, but was interrupted by Mo Yan. ¡°Are you trying to say no? Then does that mean you are only targeting me? I don¡¯t quite understand, why? I¡¯m just a new employee in thepany. Why don¡¯t you like me?¡± Chen Ya was speechless and almost broke down. ¡°Shut up, I didn¡¯t say that! I am not targeting you!¡± Chen Ya shouted loudly, directly covering Mo Yan¡¯s voice. Chen Ya, who was so angry that her face was red, red at Mo Yan.

I thought it was because senior Zhou Shuai confessed to me in university, but I rejected him, which made you hate me so much.¡± Mo Yan smiled gently. Under the sunlight, her simple and sincere appearance caused the male colleagues in the office to be dumbfounded. The female colleagues also began to digest the information that Mo Yan had revealed. Supervisor Zhou and Mo Yan were university ssmates? And he had even confessed to Mo Yan? Mo Yan was indeed just a newbie who had just joined thepany. Why did Supervisor Chen personally deal with her time and time again? In the past, when Supervisor Chen did not like someone, she would only order herckeys to ostracize that person. Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Chen Ya was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down violently. She had forgotten what she had wanted to refute before. Her mind was filled with the echo of Mo Yan saying that she did not ept Zhou Shuai¡¯s confession. Panting heavily, Chen Ya took a step forward and wanted to hit Mo Yan. However, how could Mo Yan be pped by her a second time? She held onto Chen Ya¡¯s wrist tightly. Mo Yan¡¯s face was still full of smiles, but his eyes were frighteningly cold. ¡°I really have never liked Supervisor Zhou! I also hope that you can talk to Supervisor Zhou more and ask him to stop fawning over me. I¡¯m already married and have a husband who loves me very much, so I sincerely wish that you and Supervisor Zhou can get married happily.¡± Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan waved the bracelet on her hand in front of Chen Ya, and her smile became even more gentle. ¡°You, you shameless bitch! Zhou Shuai didn¡¯t pursue you, it was you who threw yourself at him! Zhou Shuai didn¡¯t ept you, so you¡¯re trying to stain his name.¡± Chen Ya was so angry that she became hysterical. ¡°Oh, if you insist on ignoring the truth and make up lies, then I have nothing to say. You are Supervisor Zhou¡¯s girlfriend, so it¡¯s understandable that you don¡¯t believe me.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s expression was indifferent, as if she didn¡¯t see Chen Ya¡¯s appearance. Chen Ya seemed to want to kill Mo Yan, and her expression seemed to indicate that Mo Yan and her were irreconcble enemies. ¡°Chen Ya, the client whom you have arranged to meet today has arrived.¡± Suddenly, Chen Ya¡¯s follower cautiously opened her mouth. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that this client was a big shot, the follower wouldn¡¯t have dared to talk to Chen Ya at this time. Chen Ya suppressed her anger, red at Mo Yan, and stomped away in her high heels. She was stomping so loudly that her heels would probably break. After Chen Ya left, everyone in the office heaved a sigh of relief and returned to their seats. It was not that they wanted to watch the show, but they did not dare to move. They were afraid that Chen Ya would vent her anger on them if they attracted her attention. Mo Yan was really daring. She even dared to rebuke Chen Ya. Wasn¡¯t she afraid that the higher-ups would make things difficult for her? The few people in the office who had no beef with Mo Yan all had a slight change of opinion of Mo Yan. As for the short-haired girl, she had already shrunk her head and did not speak when Mo Yan and Chen Ya were at loggerheads. Although she hated Mo Yan, she was not prepared to make a big deal out of it. It was just that Mo Yan was a little fierce. She was afraid that Mo Yan would fight to the death with her. The conversation between Mo Yan and Chen Ya happened in the morning. By the afternoon, it had already spread throughout the entire sales department. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks It started with Group A. Because Mo Yan had been targeted the moment she entered thepany, she was only added into thepany¡¯s official chat group and Group A¡¯s work chat group. She did not know that there were private chat groups between each group. Since the people in Group A were on the front line, they had the most intuitive judgment of Chen Ya¡¯s expression and reaction. They estimated that 90% of what Mo Yan said was true. As for the others who heard from Group A, they were not so sure. Mo Yan¡¯s reputation was really bad. The summary of Mo Yan¡¯s bad deeds could be divided into the following points. First, Mo Yan did not actual seal a deal by herself. She stole the project from someone else. Second, Mo Yan seduced the higher-ups and made them favor her. Third, Mo Yan coveted Supervisor Zhou¡¯s client, causing him to be beaten up. The other rumors were not as widespread as the three points mentioned above. For now, Mo Yan¡¯s reputation was almost ruined. However, after the incident in the morning, the rtionship between Mo Yan and Supervisor Zhou became confusing. Some people knew the type of person that Zhou Shuai was, and when they thought of Mo Yan¡¯s appearance, they could not help but believe what she said. There were also some people who believed Chen Ya¡¯s words. They believed that Mo Yan was lying and purposely staining Zhou Shuai¡¯s name. The rest of them were waiting to see how this farce would develop. It was rare for one person to stir up such a big storm in the sales department. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan, who had returned to her seat, also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She seemed confident earlier, but she was actually quite nervous. She was afraid that Chen Ya would not follow her train of thought, and she was also afraid that Chen Ya would suppress her. Yes, she had done it on purpose this time, because she wanted to save herself from death. After Chen Ya had spread lies about her countless times before, her reputation had long fallen to the drain. In that case, why not stir up some more trouble? Did Zhou Shuai want to be an innocent victim? Why would she let him? It was impossible not to take revenge for what had almost killed her that night. She would drag Chen Ya, Zhou Shuai, and all the people who had hurt her onto the stage. Anyway, she did not care about having a worse reputation. She was slowly collecting evidence, and she would soon report all of them. Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Just as Mo Yan was nning her next move, her phone suddenly lit up, indicating that someone had added her as a friend. Mo Yan opened the message and casually nced at her profile picture. It seemed to be someone she didn¡¯t know, so she rejected it. Soon, the person sent her a friend request again. This time, there were three additional words: Li Guoguo. Mo Yan had an impression of this girl. She was a petite girl who didn¡¯t like to talk. The reason why she noticed her was because the name Li Guoguo was very special. The two of them had never interacted before, so Mo Yan could not figure out why she added her. She raised her eyes and looked at Li Guoguo, who was sitting in the corner. The girl was also looking at her, her eyes sparkling. Mo Yan could not resist her gaze. With a shake of her hand, she pressed the ¡°ept¡± button. ¡°Hello, Mo Yan. I am Li Guoguo.¡± Just as Mo Yan epted her friend request, Li Guoguo sent a message. ¡°Hello.¡± It was a in reply. Mo Yan did not know what Li Guoguo wanted, so she did not dare to say too much. Li Guoguo did not care about Mo Yan¡¯s distant attitude. Instead, she sent a very cute emoji to Mo Yan and said, ¡°Mo Yan, you were so cool just now. This is the first time I have seen someone who dares to go against Supervisor Chen like this.¡± Mo Yan did not expect this. Mo Yan¡¯s heart could not help but soften. ¡°Why did you add me?¡± Mo Yan asked her. This was not a difficult question to answer, but Li Guoguo hesitated. This made Mo Yan¡¯s eyes darken. She looked up at Li Guoguo and saw the conflicted look on her face. Seeing this, Mo Yan did not want to have too much interaction with her. She put down her phone and prepared to continue discussing with the client from yesterday. However, before Mo Yan could go to her contact list, Li Guoguo¡¯s message popped up again. It was just a few short words: I¡¯ve been bullied before. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Her gaze lingered on the dialog box for a long time, and Mo Yan was somewhat affected by it. Li Guoguo kept sending messages again and again, saying that it was not that she purposely took a while to reply, but that she did not know what she should say. She wanted to say a lot, but after deleting some lines, there was only one sentence left. Mo Yan suddenly understood her feelings. Yes, she had been bullied at work, What should she do? Who could she tell? Or should shein to her boss? But what was the use ofining? Not knowing if it was because she rted to her, Mo Yan silently epted Li Guoguo as a friend. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks During lunch time, Li Guoguo said that she wanted to eat with her, but Mo Yan rejected her. She could not have any friends right now because anyone who became friends with her would be targeted by Chen Ya. Especially after their argument, Chen Ya would definitely do something much worse to her. ¡°You are amazing! You even dare to fight head-on with Chen Ya! Domineering!¡± Xu Wan gave Mo Yan a thumbs up while waiting for the dishes. Another girl who came with Xu Wan also smiled at her. Although Chen Ya would target Mo Yan and the people around her, Xu Wan was still fine. After all, Xu Wan was from another department, so she was not worried. ¡°I couldn¡¯t not,¡± Mo Yan shrugged and said. ¡°The gossip in ourpany spreads really fast. Even your administration department knows about it.¡± Xu Wan put her arm around Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder as if they were brothers. ¡°It hasn¡¯t spread yet, but after tonight, it will. Your ability to cause trouble amazes me!¡± Actually, when Xu Wan heard this news, she was also quite shocked. Previously, she saw Mo Yan as a little rabbit that was always being bullied. But now, it seemed that Mo Yan had transformed into a rabbit that only knew how to bite people. She had to thank Chen Ya for this. If she hadn¡¯t forced Mo Yan into a corner, Mo Yan would not have been able to adapt so quickly. ¡°Oh right, I forgot to introduce you two. This is Qiao Li, from the administration department.

Chapter 79 Chapter 79 During the meal, Mo Yan reported her ¡®glorious¡¯ battle results to Luo Tao. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. She mainly talked about how she had suppressed Chen Ya throughout the entire conversation, not giving her a chance to defend herself. Luo Tao replied very quickly and sent Mo Yan an encouraging emoji. It was a picture of a little boy clenching his fist and cheering. Mo Yan did not expect Luo Tao to send such a cute message and could not help butugh out loud. Xu Wan stole a nce and snorted at Mo Yan with her nose, causing Mo Yan to look at her with a puzzled expression. ¡°Don¡¯t you get tired of sending messages to your husband all day long?¡± Seeing that Xu Wan had started to be jealous of Luo Tao again, Mo Yan did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°I just sent him a message.¡± ¡°A girl who who forgets her friends when she has a man. What an unreliable girl. Qiao Li, you¡¯re still the best, Qiao Li! When you have a partner, you can¡¯t abandon me.¡± Looking at the yful Xu Wan, Qiao Li burst intoughter and said, ¡°Okay.¡±. Mo Yan put down her phone and picked up her chopsticks. During this time, she did not forget to pay attention to the jade bracelet. She was a little regretful that she had brought the bracelet to thepany. She had to look at it for the rest of the day, afraid that it would break. Only then did Xu Wan notice Mo Yan¡¯s careful movements. When she looked at the bracelet again, her eyes could not help but widen. ¡°Mo Yan, where did you get such a good jade bracelet! Did you win the lottery? Or did it fall from the sky?¡± Support our ¦Ðew¦Ð0vel(?rg) Before Xu Wan could finish eximing in surprise, Mo Yan had already given her goosebumps.

Their home was a harbor where she could rest and dock. ¡°Luo Tao gave it to you?¡± These words shocked Xu Wan even more than if Mo Yan were to tell her that she had won the lottery. No one knew better than her, who was Mo Yan¡¯s good friend, what kind of person Luo Tao was. That hooligan actually had the money to buy such a bracelet for Mo Yan? Then why was he letting Mo Yan be the sole breadwinner for them? After thinking for a while, Xu Wan asked, ¡°He gave it to you when you got married? A family heirloom?¡± Mo Yan shook her head to show that she did not know. When Luo Tao gave it to her, he did not specifically mention the source of the bracelet, but she assumed that it was probably a family heirloom. Qiao Li also held Mo Yan¡¯s wrist and looked at it. Perhaps it was because she had some knowledge of jade. After touching it a few times, Qiao Li said to Mo Yan, ¡°This bracelet is very precious. You have to treasure it well.¡± Mo Yan smiled and nodded. To her, the price of the bracelet was not important. It was just like the first time she went to a jewelry store. Even though she was in urgent need of money, she did not sell it. Perhaps she had subconsciously felt that this bracelet had an extraordinary meaning to her. It was not just a piece of merchandise, but a tie between her and Luo Tao. When she returned to the office in the afternoon, her colleagues informed her to make a trip to Chen Ya¡¯s office. Now, Mo Yan was not afraid anymore. She had just finished arguing with Chen Ya in the morning. If anything happened in the afternoon, Chen Ya¡¯s reputation would bepletely ruined. Once she arrived at the office, Mo Yan thought that Chen Ya was very strange because she was smiling too warmly at her, so warmly that her neck was full of goosebumps. Although there was a middle-aged man in the office, Mo Yan still stood at the door vigntly and said, ¡°May I ask why you are looking for me?¡± ¡°Come closer.¡± Chen Ya did not seem to notice Mo Yan¡¯s repulsion and called her in.

After all, you are Zhou Shuai¡¯s junior. I don¡¯t want you to be deceived.¡± Seeing that Chen Ya was interested in her bracelet again, Mo Yan wanted to p Chen Ya to death on the wall like swatting a fly. Mo Yan did not believe the identity of this person, but she did not know what reason she could use to refuse. If this person was really not someone Chen Ya had hired to put on an act, and was just a client of the company, if she rejected this small request and caused the loss of this client, it was likely that even CEO Song would not protect her. While Mo Yan was hesitating, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, ¡°Mrs. Mo, can I borrow your jade bracelet to take a look?¡± Chapter 80 Chapter 80 The middle-aged man¡¯s wordspletely gave Mo Yan no way out. No matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice. Mo Yan had a smile on her face, but in her heart, she cursed Chen Ya a hundred and eighty times. The moment the jade bracelet was handed to the middle-aged man, Mo Yan held her breath, and she focused all her attention on it. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. The situation that Mo Yan had imagined did not happen. The man was very careful when he observed the bracelet. After observing the color and texture of the jade bracelet, the man¡¯s eyes lit up. He carefully ced the jade bracelet on a folded silk handkerchief. Then, he took out a shlight and a long box from his briefcase. He shone the shlight a few times. Mo Yan did not know what the man had seen, but he looked at her with an unusual expression. The long box contained a piece of jade, but it was a long jade pir. The man used the jade pir to strike the jade bracelet, making a crisp sound. When she heard the sound, the jealousy in Chen Ya¡¯s eyes could not be hidden. Although she did not have a deep understanding of these things, she still knew the basics. When real jade was struck, it would make a crisp sound. If it was a fake, the sound would be more muffled. After a series of operations by the man, he could basically confirm whether the jade bracelet was a fake. A product meant high-quality jade. In the jade industry, A product referred to when the finished product had only been properly processed. Its color and texture were all natural, which meant that it was a so-called genuine product. Of course, there were also B and C products. The quality and shape of B and C products were not as good as A products, and the transparency and texture were not as good, meaning that the jade was mixed with impurities. Mo Yan¡¯s bracelet was excellent in both the jade itself and the polishing process. The middle-aged man carefully returned the jade to Mo Yan and said, ¡°In my opinion, Mrs. Mo¡¯s jade bracelet is of high quality. ¡°Search our n?wno?el.?rg¡±I wonder if it is a family heirloom?¡± Updates by Wuxiaworld.site When he asked, the middle-aged man had already made up his mind about the business deal with Hong Jing. The reason why he came to Hong Jing today was that his boss wanted to invest in this area after seeing that the real estate market had been doing well for the past two years.

Thanks Supervisor Zhou was designated by her uncle to work with this client. However, from the moment the man saw Chen Ya, he could tell that she was not a practical person. He wanted to go back and feedback to his boss, but something unexpected happened. As for the man¡¯s ability to distinguish between jade and stone, it was originally just his hobby. asionally, he met the boss of anotherpany who was almost cheated by someone and helped him. After that, the other party brought a lot of benefits to thepany. This also allowed him to find out that his hobby had such a use, so he would carry some simple identification tools with him. After all, he hade into contact with rich people, so this little hobby of his had helped him a lot. Taking the jade bracelet, Mo Yan secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, ¡°No, this is a wedding gift from my husband.¡± ¡°Oh, I see!¡± After the jade bracelet was appraised, there was no more reason for Mo Yan to stay here. Chen Ya hurriedly chased Mo Yan away. She was hoping to embarrass Mo Yan, but after what happened, she didn¡¯t want General Manager Wang to have a good impression of Mo Yan. Walking out of Chen Ya¡¯s office, Mo Yan touched her beating heart. It didn¡¯t feel good to be on the lookout for a sneak attack in real time, but she had to wait. She had to wait for Chen Ya to make a big mistake and then knock her down with one shot. Buzz buzz. Mo Yan¡¯s phone vibrated twice. It was a message from Li Guoguo. [Mo Yan, I heard that you were called to Supervisor Cheng¡¯s office. Are you not out yet?] Seeing this message, Mo Yan felt a warmth in her heart and replied, [I¡¯m out. I¡¯m on the way back to the office.] [Oh! Okay. Mo Yan, why was Supervisor Chen looking for you?] Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Thinking that she had nothing to hide, Mo Yan directly said to Li Guoguo, [She thinks that my bracelet is fake. She got someone to appraise it for me.] Li Guoguo replied very quickly, [Huh? It obviously looks real. How can it be fake?] [Of course it¡¯s not fake. It¡¯s just that Chen Ya is up to no good.] Mo Yan said. [Haha! I knew Supervisor Chen didn¡¯t seed the moment I saw your reply.] Mo Yan replied to Li Guoguo¡¯s smiley face. Although she had notpletely let down her guard against Li Guoguo, Mo Yan was still willing to entertain the cute girl who was trying to be friendly. Chapter 81 Chapter 81 As Xu Wan had said, the rumors in thepany spread quickly. Before Mo Yan got off work, she had heard people from other departments whispering behind her back. Because she had prepared herself early in the morning, Mo Yan was able to turn a deaf ear to them. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. When Mo Yan arrived at the hospital, Mo Cheng was also there. She did not know what he had said to their mother, but it made herugh. This made Mo Yan¡¯s face involuntarily reveal a smile. The care in the VIP ward was very good. As soon as Mo Yan entered the door, the two of them looked over. Her mother had recovered well from the surgery. Now, she could slowly get out of bed and walk on her own. Perhaps because she had expectations for life, her mother¡¯s spirit was getting better and better. Thinking of Qin Yuan who had helped her, Mo Yan still had some doubts. After all, she still did not know what Qin Yuan¡¯s purpose of helping her was? But she had to say that Qin Yuan was the person she was most grateful to. ¡°Wow! Sister, you bought so many fruits.¡± Mo Cheng took Mo Yan¡¯s bag and eximed. Putting the things on the small cab, Mo Cheng took an orange and peeled it for his mother. ¡°Mother, what did Cheng tell you that made you so happy?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes curved as she sat beside her mother¡¯s bed and held her mother¡¯s hand. Mo Yan¡¯s mother was also holding onto Mo Yan¡¯s hand. When she saw Mo Yan¡¯s slightly thin face, an unnoticeable trace of heartache shed across her eyes. She knew that her illness was a toll on her children. ¡°Cheng! He was talking about Luo Tao just now!¡± Mo Yan¡¯s mother had always told Mo Yan not to overexert herself, but Mo Yan would not listen. So every time Mo Yan came, she would show Mo Yan that she had recovered, so that Mo Yan could rest assured. When she was fully recovered, Mo Yan would not be so tired anymore. ¡°Luo Tao? What did you say about him?¡± Mo Yan asked curiously. Updates by VJPN0VEL.C0M At this time, Mo Cheng handed over another orange. After peeling one for their mother, he peeled one for Mo Yan. ¡°Cheng, tell her! When you asked Luo Tao to help you taste your dish, you scalded Luo Tao. Luo Tao was too embarrassed to spit it out.¡± Mother Mo said as she looked at Mo Yan with a smile. Hearing Mother Mo¡¯s words, Mo Yan pouted and red at Mo Cheng. ¡°Mo Cheng has a big mouth! Mom, don¡¯t believe what Cheng said. I didn¡¯t burn Luo Tao.¡± ¡°Sister, I saw it in the kitchen, how can you still not admit it.¡± Mo Cheng said with a funny look. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Also, Mom, you don¡¯t know! I only didn¡¯t let them sleep together for one night. These two people had dark circles under their eyes the next day!¡± Mo Cheng¡¯s words once again made Mother Mough out loud. Mo Yan pinched Mo Cheng¡¯s cheek across the single-bed. ¡°Brat, you¡¯re spouting nonsense! Who has dark circles under their eyes?¡± ¡°The two of you. I¡¯m not exaggerating.¡± Mo Cheng stubbornly refused to change his words. Mo Yan took a deep breath and increased the strength in her hands. ¡°You¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± ¡°Okay okay okay, I was wrong, I was wrong. It wasn¡¯t you two, it was me, it was me, okay?¡± In the end, Mo Cheng was defeated by Mo Yan¡¯s violence. Mother Mo looked at her yful children and her heart became lighter. All she needed to do now was to recover quickly. The siblings stayed in Mother Mo¡¯s ward for a while before leaving. The sky was slightly dark and the hospital was not far from home. The two of them slowly walked home. Only then did Mo Yan have the opportunity to ask the question she did not ask before, ¡°Mo Cheng, who bullied you at school?¡± Hearing Mo Yan call his full name, Mo Cheng started to get nervous. He was afraid that he would not be able to divert the conversation this time. ¡°Sister, why are you still thinking about this matter? Didn¡¯t I say that I would solve it myself?¡± ¡°If you could solve it yourself, you wouldn¡¯t have been bullied,¡± Mo Yan hit the nail on the head and said. Mo Cheng was unable to refute her. How did his sister be so sharp after he had not seen her for a while. Seeing that he couldn¡¯t hide it, Mo Cheng had no choice but to show his cards. ¡°It¡¯s just a few seniors. They borrowed money from me.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Borrowed money? They¡¯re robbing families at school? They¡¯re bullying my younger brother.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice seemed to contain some danger. ¡°Rob, robbing families?¡± Mo Cheng choked on his sister¡¯s words and slightly tilted his head to see Mo Yan¡¯s expression. However, Mo Yan was thinking about something with her head lowered, so he couldn¡¯t see clearly. ¡°Are all the injuries on your body caused by them?¡± Mo Yan asked. ¡°Uh, yes,¡± Mo Cheng answered. In fact, Mo Cheng¡¯s situation was a bit tricky. Even if he reported to the teacher, he wouldn¡¯t always be able to protect Mo Cheng. Moreover, the children in high school all had rebellious mentality. If a few students bore grudges against Mo Cheng, it would be a bad to make things worse. Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Just as Mo Yan was deep in thought, Mo Cheng spoke first, ¡°Sister, I want to handle this matter myself.¡± ¡°Handle it yourself?¡± Mo Yan was stunned. She had just thought of her own recording method. Although she could let Mo Cheng try it, Mo Cheng¡¯s environment was different from hers. If Mo Cheng did this, it would be difficult for him to make friends again. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll handle it myself.¡± Mo Cheng stopped in his tracks and turned to face Mo Yan. Mo Yan also looked at her brother, who was as tall as her, and suddenly felt that Mo Cheng was different from before. ¡°Sister, I don¡¯t want to live under your protection all the time.¡± In fact, the reason why Mo Cheng said this was because he was talking to himselfst night. When he said all the things that he had been holding back in his heart, Mo Cheng realized that there were actually many things that he could do well, it was just that he had not thought of it at that time. He had already thought of a way to deal with a few gangster seniors. Based on how familiar they were with bullying others, he should not be the only one being bullied. Therefore, he could also find some allies. Upon hearing Mo Cheng¡¯s words, although Mo Yan was gratified, she still frowned. ¡°Mo Cheng, you are still young. Don¡¯t try to be brave. As your big sister, I should protect you. During this period of time, you should stay at home first. Wait for me to think of a foolproof n before you return to school.¡± ¡°Big sister, what I said is true. Believe me, let me try once. If I really can¡¯t do it, I won¡¯t try to be brave anymore.¡± Mo Cheng¡¯s gaze was firm as he said to Mo Yan. Mo Yan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Luo Tao¡¯s voice. ¡°You should listen to your brother. If you solve everything for him, how will he grow up?¡± ¡°Luo Tao, I¡¯m just¡­¡± Mo Yan was not frightened by Luo Tao. Instead, she was very familiar with his voice. ¡°Sister, trust me! Give me some time.¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Mo Cheng was already behind Mo Yan when he saw Luo Tao walking over. Naturally, he was not surprised. Seeing that the two of them were trying to persuade her, Mo Yan had no choice but topromise. After the matter was settled, Luo Tao quickly changed the topic and asked what they would be eating for dinner. He did not want this chatterbox brat to stay at their house anymore. ¡°Search our n?wn0?el.?rg¡±It was fine if he could not sleep with his wife every night, but he still had to listen to this brat. ¡°Since I¡¯m leaving tomorrow, then sister, don¡¯t cook tonight. I¡¯ll cook for you guys.¡± Mo Cheng smiled so much that his eyebrows curved, revealing two small canine teeth. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan¡¯s face stiffened, and she stuttered, ¡°You, you¡¯re cooking?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Brother-inw hasn¡¯t tried my cooking, right?¡± Mo Cheng didn¡¯t say anything more and directly threw the question to Luo Tao. Luo Tao didn¡¯t know what Mo Cheng was up to, but from Mo Yan¡¯s expression, it seemed like something wasn¡¯t right. ¡°Why don¡¯t I cook instead!¡± Mo Yan pretended to smile. ¡°I won¡¯t cause a fire. Sister, give me a chance.¡± Since Mo Cheng had already said this much, Mo Yan had no choice but to ept her fate. The dim yellow streetmp stretched the shadows of the three people very long. A man was holding a woman¡¯s hand, and the youth beside him was neither too far nor too close to the woman. It was as if they were two guardians, protecting the woman. Although Mo Cheng was the one cooking, Mo Yan still had to chop the ingredients because Mo Cheng¡¯s knife skills were really unpraiseworthy. After Mo Yan finished chopping, Mo Cheng pushed her out. This time, it was Mo Yan and Luo Tao¡¯s turn to stare at each other. The sudden solitude made Mo Yan feel a little awkward. Luo Tao cleared his throat and asked, ¡°Why don¡¯t you want Mo Cheng to cook?¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Mo Yan thought for a while and didn¡¯t know how to say it. ¡°Mo Cheng¡¯s food! It might taste a little special.¡± Luo Tao frowned and didn¡¯t understand. ¡°It might taste a little special? Was he the same as him? Unable to distinguish between sugar and salt? Or would the food already be burnt when he added the seasoning? Mo Yan thought for a while and decided to let Luo Tao experience it himself. After all, the taste of Mo Cheng¡¯s dishes was not appreciated by most people. Luo Tao did not hear any strange noises from the kitchen, so he felt that it should be fine. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Therefore, Luo Tao brought up another matter that he was concerned about. ¡°Did you have a big argument with your supervisor today?¡± Although he felt that Qin Yuan was meddling in other people¡¯s business, he had to admit that Qin Yuan¡¯s words, ¡°A tree that does not experience wind and rain cannot grow.¡± Had caught his attention. He could get Chen Ya out of thepany with a snap of his fingers. However, without the experience that Chen Ya gave Mo Yan, how would Mo Yan grow? Perhaps he would bring Mo Yan back to the Huo family in the future. Luo Tao did not know when this thought had appeared in his mind. After being reminded by Luo Tao, Mo Yan suddenly remembered that she was still wearing the bracelet on her hand. She quickly went to look for the box and said while looking, ¡°Yes! Chen Ya loves to have evil thoughts all day long. Shouldn¡¯t she focus on her work?¡± ¡°Some people are born evil.¡± Luo Tao chuckled. Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao in surprise. She did not know why he had said that. However, when she thought about Chen Ya¡¯s cockfighting appearance, it did seem a little too much. Instead of taking care of her boyfriend, she was harassing people every day. Chen Ya was probably mentally ill. It is said, ¡®When a rtionship is in trouble, a stupid woman will think of a way to fix herself. A smart woman will think of a way to fix the man.¡¯ Chen Ya was probably so stupid that there was no cure. ¡°What are you looking for? Let me help you.¡± Luo Tao saw that Mo Yan had been searching for a long time but still couldn¡¯t find anything, so he went up and asked. ¡°It¡¯s the box that I put the jade bracelet in earlier. I was in a hurry this morning and forgot where I put it.¡± ¡°You want to take it off? You don¡¯t like it?¡± Luo Tao took the box from a shelf and handed it to Mo Yan. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t like it, it¡¯s just that it¡¯s too expensive. I can¡¯t wear it often.¡± Mo Yan carefully put the jade bracelet back, only then did she feel at ease. ¡°I already gave it to you. There¡¯s no use keeping it in a box.¡± Luo Tao still wanted to put it on Mo Yan, but Mo Yan stopped him. ¡°It¡¯s not because it¡¯s expensive, but also because it¡¯s the first gift you gave me. I want to treasure it well. If I damage it, my heart will ache.¡± Seeing her sweet smile, Luo Tao¡¯s heart softened. ¡°I will give you more things in the future.¡± Mo Yan smiled and held Luo Tao¡¯s arm, leaning her head on his shoulder. ¡°The heart is more important than the gift. Your heart is the most important. If you miss me, even if you buy me a bottle of coke, I will be happy.¡± ¡°You!¡± Luo Tao sighed and touched Mo Yan¡¯s head. She was really a silly woman. ¡°Luo Tao, I really like my life now. Every day when Ie back, I feel at peace.¡± Mo Yan gently expressed her feelings. Luo Tao was touched by Mo Yan¡¯s words. In his past life, there was nock of scheming and backstabbing. The slightest mistake would make him a target, and he would be attacked. He did not know how much longer he could live like that. Holding on to Mo Yan¡¯s hand that was scribbling on his palm, Luo Tao said slowly, ¡°Me too.¡± ¡°What is going on? Sister, brother-inw, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Cheng¡¯s words broke the atmosphere in the room. Luo Tao took a deep breath and resisted the urge to throw Mo Cheng out. There was still one more night. After tonight, he would not have to face this little bastard again. Mo Yan¡¯s face was flushed red. Although she withdrew her hand and sat up straight when she heard Mo Cheng¡¯s voice, she did not know if Mo Cheng had seen what they were doing. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Sister, help me serve the dishes.¡± Mo Cheng shouted from the kitchen. Mo Cheng¡¯s dishes looked very good and could bepared to Mo Yan¡¯s. They looked quite appetizing. Mo Cheng brought out the rice and the three of them began to eat. Before this, Luo Tao even deliberately nced at Mo Yan. He was still suspicious because of Mo Yan¡¯s previous reaction. He didn¡¯t know if he had misunderstood, but it seemed that Mo Cheng and Mo Yan were waiting for him to eat first. Luo Tao tried a bite of the fried egg with chili. Because he was a little uneasy, Luo Tao didn¡¯t take more than the first bite. He felt that he didn¡¯t taste anything special, so he took a second bite. However, this bite! The spiciness shot up from the tip of his tongue to his head. Even though Luo Tao had good manners, he could not hold back his physiological tears. Seeing this, Mo Yan hurriedly handed him a ss of water. Luo Tao gulped down a few mouthfuls and ruined hisposed image. ¡°Cheng, how many Chaotian peppers did you put in? And you even picked out arge piece?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s sharp eyes saw a red dot hidden under the yellow and green. She was immediately angered by Mo Cheng andughed. ¡°Sister, didn¡¯t you say that when you cook, you can add some chili to enhance the vor? I only added some!¡± Mo Cheng saw that the situation was not right and muttered softly. ¡°I was talking about Millet chili! Did you do it on purpose? Otherwise, why did you pick out Chaotian Chili?¡± Mo Yan asked what Luo Tao wanted to ask. Luo Tao also felt that this kid was definitely messing with him on purpose, just because he had mocked him previously. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re wrong. I did not do it on purpose.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Although Mo Yan had some doubts about his words, Mo Cheng¡¯s expression was very sincere. It was impossible to tell if he was lying to her. When Mo Yan lowered her head to look at the other dishes, Luo Tao shot a sharp gaze at the person opposite him. Mo Cheng nced at him guiltily. Mo Yan did not dare to let Luo Tao try the other dishes. She picked up some steamed vermicelli. As soon as it entered her mouth, the salty and bitter taste hit her tongue. Mo Yan could not taste what kind of seasoning Mo Cheng had put in it. She really wished that she could lose her sense of taste at this moment. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s expression, Mo Cheng swallowed his saliva and said, ¡°Is it that bad?¡± Chapter 84 Chapter 84 ¡°Try it yourself.¡± ¡°Cheng, don¡¯t you want to try the dishes yourself?¡± The two of them spoke at the same time, their tonepletely different. Luo Tao¡¯s voice was as cold as it could be, but Mo Yan¡¯s words were full of a sense of helplessness. Mo Cheng looked at thest dish. He had no desire to take a bite at all. He did not know why, but every time he cooked, it would end up like this. Receiving Mo Cheng¡¯s pleading gaze, Mo Yan went into the kitchen with a headache and whipped up three bowls of noodles as fast as possible. Perhaps it was because of the trauma he had just experienced, Luo Tao was more careful when eating Mo Yan¡¯s noodles. It was still the same arrangement asst night. Mo Yan slept on the sofa while Luo Tao and Mo Cheng slept in the bedroom. After Luo Tao took a shower, he saw Mo Yan writing on documents on the coffee table. It seemed that she had made the first version of her n. Some blueprints and information were scattered around the computer. Mo Yan typed very quickly. In a moment, she had entered the required information into theputer and then imported the blueprints. This was the first time Luo Tao saw Mo Yan working. She was very focused.¡°¡± Her long hair was tied into a ponytail. Her gaze was fixed on the screen. She did not even notice that he was sitting next to her. After looking at it for a while, Luo Tao found that there were many small ws in Mo Yan¡¯s n. These required her to go to the construction site to investigate it. After her work came to an end, Mo Yan stretchedzily and yawned again. The rm clock on her phone rang at the right time. It was already 9:30 pm. Mo Yan¡¯s work and rest time was rtively bnced. Usually, she would give herself an hour to wash up or y with her phone and watch TV dramas. After all, rxing was an important part of life! As she turned around, Mo Yan saw Luo Tao sitting beside her, watching her series of actions. Mo Yan quickly closed her wide mouth and covered it with her hand. She said in embarrassment and anger, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Luo Tao was amused by her actions and pretended to be innocent. ¡°I¡¯ve been sitting here for a long time. I thought you knew.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know. Are you teasing me?¡± Mo Yan gently hammered his leg to show her dissatisfaction. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Thinking about whether her wide mouth made her look like a tigress, Mo Yan red at Luo Tao again. However, Mo Yan was disappointed. Luo Tao felt that the Mo Yan he had seen just now was like a sleepy kitten yawning. ¡°Luo Tao, what did you say to Mo Cheng earlier?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan nced at the bathroom. The sound of water was incessant. Mo Cheng was in the shower and would probably not be able to hear the two of them talking. ¡°He told on me?¡± Lou Tao asked calmly. Mo Yan shook her head. ¡°That¡¯s not it. Previously, Mo Cheng said that you¡¯ve enlightened him a lot. I¡¯m just curious. What did you say to him that made him change so much?¡± ¡°Nothing much. I just told him that boys need to learn how to handle things on their own.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Mo Yan did not believe him. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it.¡± There was no need to tell Mo Yan everything he said. Moreover, that brat probably did not want him to say it out loud. ¡°He¡¯s still young. I should do my job as his big sister and help him resolve these matters.¡± As she spoke, Mo Yan¡¯s voice was gentle. Her younger brother was still young, so there was no need for him to be so sensible. In the end, she was the one who was useless. Luo Tao knew that no matter what he said now, Mo Yan would feel bad about not helping Mo Cheng. If he wanted Mo Yan to be at ease, he could only resolve the matter himself. When Luo Tao returned to the bedroom, Mo Cheng was already lying on the bed. Seeing this brat, Luo Tao had the urge to beat him up. He threw the watch that he got from Qin Yuan over, and Mo Cheng was shocked by the sudden appearance of the box. ¡°Brother-inw, what is this?¡± Mo Cheng picked up the box and looked at it. ¡°It¡¯s for you, keep it well.¡± Luo Tao said very sinctly. Opening the box, he saw an exquisite watch lying inside. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Cheng was a little surprised. Cars and watches were two things that almost every man loved. Mo Cheng was the same. ¡°Brother-inw, is this a Piaget limited edition?¡± Although he loved it, Mo Cheng was not bewitched by it. Where did his brother-inw get such an expensive thing? There was also the jade bracelet that his brother-inw put on his sister this morning. Although he knew nothing about jade, the jade bracelet looked expensive. Luo Tao nced at the symbol on the box and acknowledged. ¡°Brother-inw, who exactly are you?¡± Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Luo Tao did not answer Mo Cheng¡¯s question. Instead, he asked, ¡°How did you know that I would fall for it?¡± Mo Cheng did not want to admit it at first, but Luo Tao¡¯s gaze was too sharp. He could only reluctantly say, ¡°I thought that you liked spicy dishes and that you would eat the fried eggs with green peppers first.¡± These words made Luo Tao chuckle. ¡°Even your sister hasn¡¯t noticed.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Mo Cheng was surprised. Luo Tao recalled that when he was young, he was told by his family not to show anything that he particrly liked or disliked. Because he was still young at that time, he could notpletely hide his emotions, it was not until he got food poisoning that he learned his lesson. ¡°How did you realize?¡± Luo Tao asked. Mo Cheng scratched his head and said embarrassedly, ¡°It was when you ate a lot of the boiled fish. Only then did I feel that you might like to eat spicy dishes.¡± ¡°Just by relying on this?¡± ¡°Yes, when you eat other things, the frequency of you picking up each dish is basically the same.¡± Luo Tao slightly narrowed his eyes. He had a new understanding of Mo Cheng¡¯s observation ability. . ¡°Indeed, I¡¯m not Luo Tao, but I¡¯m your brother-inw.¡± Mo Cheng was stunned for a second at Luo Tao¡¯s answer. Then, he understood that he was answering the previous question. After a long silence, Mo Cheng spoke again, ¡°I don¡¯t know your identity and intention, but please don¡¯t hurt my sister.¡± Luo Tao replied without hesitation, ¡°Okay.¡± From the things that Luo Tao had given both Mo Cheng and his sister, Mo Cheng could roughly guess that Luo Tao¡¯s real identity was either rich or noble. It seemed unlikely that Luo Tao was here for Mo Yan on purpose. Although the two of them were close, it was very likely that they hadn¡¯t gone too far yet. This made Mo Cheng feel much more at ease. ¡°Brother-inw, I have something to ask you.¡± Luo Tao changed into his usual calm expression. He felt that Mo Cheng was trying tomunicate with him as the brother of his wife. ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°If one day you reveal your true identity, will you abandon my sister?¡± As Mo Cheng spoke, he pushed the watch that Luo Tao gave him back.

Although he had some thoughts of bringing Mo Yan back to the Huo family, he was not sure yet, so he could not give Mo Cheng an answer. Seeing that Luo Tao still did not answer, Mo Cheng did not force him, he continued, ¡°Brother-inw, I can see that my sister likes you very much. I hope that you won¡¯t make her sad. If you two are in a normal rtionship, then I will give you my blessing. However, a rtionship built on liars and lies will notst long.¡± Mo Cheng paused and finished his sentence, ¡°A hundred lies are needed to cover the first lie, and they will all be exposed one day. Actually, I hope that you can be my real brother-inw.¡± Mo Cheng was really vulnerable and honest. Luo Tao did not know when Mo Cheng had noticed that he and Mo Yan were hiding things from each other. He also did not know how Mo Cheng had discovered that he and Mo Yan had not gone too far yet, and he had vaguely reminded him not to get too close to Mo Yan when his identity was still hidden. ¡®Such a sharp little brat.¡¯ Luo Tao thought to himself. ¡°Kind man shouldn¡¯t say falsehood, smart people should not lie.¡± Although Luo Tao could not tell if hiding his identity was a white lie, this lie had allowed him to meet Mo Yan. No matter how things developed, this memory was still beautiful. ¡°Liar.¡± Mo Cheng muttered in a low voice. Luo Tao did not take Mo Cheng¡¯s words seriously. He did not need outsiders to tell him what to do with Mo Yan. He threw the wristwatch to Mo Cheng again and said, ¡°It¡¯s up to you whether you want to wear it or not.¡± This meant that he would not ept the return of what he had given him. The next day, Mo Cheng left the two¡¯s house ording to the decision he had made. Before he left, Mo Cheng had repeatedly reminded Mo Yan. Hearing this, Luo Tao wanted to shut this kid¡¯s mouth. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that the two of them had a tacit understanding that they wouldn¡¯t mention what happenedst night, Mo Cheng might have said that Luo Tao was an extremely dangerous person. The two of them sent Mo Cheng to the school gate. As they watched the young man¡¯s back leaving into the distance, Mo Yan was still very worried. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.

I¡¯m still worried.¡± Luo Tao chuckled and replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Although Mo Cheng took the watch, he did not wear it him. This made Luo Tao curious as to how Mo Cheng was going to deal with those who bullied him. Chapter 86 Chapter 86 In the 2 days since Mo Yan and Chen Ya¡¯s argument, rumors were growing like weeds, and they were getting more and more outrageous. Some said that Mo Yan and Chen Ya were fighting over a man, some said that Zhou Shuai was cheating with Mo Yan was caught by Chen Ya on the spot, some even said that Chen Ya liked Zhou Shuai, Zhou Shuai liked Mo Yan, and then Mo Yan and Chen Ya were having an affair. Hearing these unbelievable words, Mo Yan was almost scared to the point of fainting. Although she wanted to stir up trouble, she did not expect it to be like this! She and Chen Ya having an affair? They were clearly enemies who could not live under the same sky, alright? With a dazed expression, Mo Yan stared at the messages that Li Guoguo sent her. Li Guoguo often saw some gossip in their private group. In this regard, Mo Yan showed that the power of romance gossip was not to be underestimated. No one had talked about her project for the past two days. And in the past two days, it was unknown if she was frightened by these rumors, but Chen Ya did not come looking for trouble with Mo Yan, allowing Mo Yan to have a good start on her new contract. This new client was not a difficult person to approach. She gave high praise to Mo Yan¡¯s first version of the proposal. Although there were still some areas that needed to be changed, she still had confidence in Mo Yan. Just as Mo Yan was about to run to the construction site to take some pictures, CEO Song stopped her. Sitting in CEO Song¡¯s office again, Mo Yan felt that the tension between her and the woman was still there. ¡°Mo Yan, I called you here this time because I have something for you to do.¡± . Song Yun looked at the girl opposite her who was standing straight and was a little hesitant. She had heard the rumors in thepany over the past two days and could roughly guess what she was trying to do. Moreover, if she were to promote Mo Yan as her assistant ording to their previous agreement, it would definitely push her back into the limelight. Therefore, Song Yun could not do that. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Seeing the woman¡¯s serious expression, Mo Yan could not help but sit up straight and said, ¡°Please speak.¡± ¡°Mo Yan, you know that ourpany has always had the intention to branch out in the capital city. It¡¯s just that the time was never right. Now there¡¯s an opportunity to expand the market there. Are you willing to go?¡± Song Yun said it gently and gave Mo Yan the option to refuse. It was also this option that puzzled Mo Yan. Wasn¡¯t thepany directly appointing her as a candidate? How could she not go? Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°CEO Song, is there any risk in developing the market in the capital city?¡± Mo Yan asked pointedly. Since CEO Song allowed her to refuse, she asked. Song Yun gave Mo Yan a serious look and said, ¡°You¡¯re not the only one going this time. There¡¯s also Chen Ya, who was appointed by the Deputy General Manager. I hope that you can face her head-on.¡± Mo Yan frowned and thought, ¡°I see.¡± Opening up the market meantpeting for customers, and going with Chen Ya meant that she might not only have to face the ostracism of her peers in the capital city, but she also had to guard against being ambushed. But if she didn¡¯t go.. While Mo Yan was thinking, Song Yun was also observing the person opposite her. This was a test that she was giving Mo Yan. Mo Yan was still considered a neer in the sales industry, and this task should not have been given to her, but she was curious about Mo Yan¡¯s ability and how much protection Qin Yuan would give Mo Yan. If Mo Yan epted this test and gained some achievements, even if she failed, she would work hard to train her. But if Mo Yan was unwilling, she would treat her like an ordinary employee who used the back door. As for Qin Yuan, although she epted his sponsorship, she would not let Qin Yuan be like Chen Ya¡¯s uncle. Time passed by minute by minute, Song Yun gave Mo Yan enough time to think. ¡°CEO Song, I want to go,¡± Mo Yan said firmly. Suddenly, Mo Yan seemed to have thought of something and continued to add, ¡°CEO Song, I still have a new client in my hands, I¡¯m only halfway through the discussion, this¡­¡± Upon hearing Mo Yan¡¯s reply, Song Yun¡¯s expression slowly turned gentle as she said, ¡°There¡¯s no rush, there¡¯s still some time. You can finish your work first.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Yes, okay.¡± Mo Yan nodded and prepared to find out more about the real estate situation in Jing City when she was free. On the corridor back to the office, Mo Yan recalled CEO Song¡¯s attitude. She was almost certain that this was CEO Song¡¯s test for her. CEO Song had never mentioned the previous agreement between the two of them. She must have been troubled by her extremely bad reputation recently. She could fight with Chen Ya, and it was understandable for her to retaliate. However, what thepany wanted was profit. Even if she seized the opportunity to kill Chen Ya in the future, if she was not capable enough, she would still be abandoned by thepany. So, she wanted to use this opportunity to make aeback, beat down Chen Ya once and for all and show everyone how capable she was. Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Mo Yan was cheering herself on when she ran into Chen Ya at the corner. The two of them met with a fiery atmosphere. ¡°Yo! Are you snitching to Song Yun again? Tsk, Mo Yan, you are such a baby!¡± Chen Ya smiled mockingly. Mo Yan did not want to bother with her and turned to leave. She had to spend all her time on work now. Chen Ya rolled her eyes and stopped Mo Yan. ¡°I heard that CEO Song is sending you to Jing City to expand the business?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes darkened. Just now, CEO Song only asked her if she wanted to go and gave her the option to refuse. How did Chen Ya know? Seeing that Mo Yan did not answer, Chen Ya said to herself, ¡°Don¡¯t bite off more than you can chew. When Hong Jing was just established, Song Yun was over ambitious and sent Hong Jing¡¯s best salespeople to Jing City. But what happened? Thepany almost went bankrupt. CEO Song¡¯s career was almost over,¡± ¡°CEO Song had such an experience? Then why would she send a newbie like her this time?¡± Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but wonder. ¡°Mo Yan, aren¡¯t you curious why CEO Song would send you?¡± Chen Ya said with an evil smile. Mo Yan frowned. She was indeed curious, but she didn¡¯t want to know the reason from Chen Ya, let alone believe the reason from Chen Ya. . ¡°Is there anything else, Supervisor Chen? If there¡¯s nothing else, I have to go work.¡± Mo Yan did not respond to Chen Ya¡¯s words. She did not want to waste any more time with her. ¡°Ha! Let me tell you one thing. The one who gave the project this time is the Lin family of the capital city.¡± Chen Ya smiled smugly. She was sure that Mo Yan would remember her words. Mo Yan stared at the person in front of her with a guarded expression, but did not dare to ask anything. However, Chen Ya left after saying this, which made Mo Yan even more uneasy. Back in the office, because she had already set a time to go to the construction site to take photos, Mo Yan could only put Chen Ya¡¯s words aside toplete her unfinished work. After Chen Ya left, she went straight to the Deputy General Manager¡¯s office. A fat man with a simple and honest smile was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea. ¡°Uncle, is it useful for me to tell Mo Yan that? Will she break her ties with Song Yun?¡± Chen Ya¡¯s face was full of doubt. ¡°Song Yun really let that neer go to the capital city?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks The man did not answer but asked a question instead. The smile on his face slowly disappeared. ¡°Yes, most likely. I didn¡¯t see Mo Yan surprised when I said that. Song Yun must¡¯ve mentioned it when she looked for her.¡± After listening to Chen Ya, the man¡¯s lips curled into a smile again, but it was not as simple and honest as before. Instead, it gave off a sinister feeling. ¡°She¡¯s lucky that she didn¡¯t kill Xu Tian thest time. This neer, heh.¡± The man had not finished speaking, but one could only imagine what he was going to say. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°Uncle, you haven¡¯t answered me yet! Why would me saying that cause them to fall out?¡± Chen Ya hugged the man¡¯s arm coquettishly and shook it. The man patted Chen Ya¡¯s hand lovingly and said, ¡°There¡¯s aputer over there. Go search the Lin family in Jing City.¡± After getting a reply from the man, Chen Ya walked to theputer and started searching ording to the man¡¯s instructions. In an instant, a row of gossip about the Lin family¡¯s young master upied the entire screen. ¡®The Lin family¡¯s eldest young master is having a celebrity girlfriend at a night party.¡¯ ¡®The Lin family¡¯s eldest young master is suspected to be holding a party with many people on his private yacht!¡¯ ¡®Shocking! XX female celebrity is having an abortion after sleeping with a rich man with the surname ¡®l¡¯!¡¯ Chen Ya could not help but be shocked as well. She stood in front of theputer in a daze. Then why was her uncle asking her to go too? Chen Ya felt a chill run down her body. The gaze she used to look at the man was also a little fearful. At this moment, the man had returned to his honest appearance. He smiled at Chen Ya and said, ¡°Ya, don¡¯t think too much. I¡¯ve already made arrangements. This project will be your achievement.¡± Hearing the man¡¯s words, Chen Ya felt relieved. She also felt guilty for thinking too much. Sitting back on the sofa, Chen Ya also smiled at the man. ¡°When Mo Yan sees this news, she will definitely think that Song Yun is using her for her looks.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only The man smiled and nodded, he continued to add, ¡°Song Yun and I will protect her and you respectively. If she develops a distrust towards Song Yun before leaving, it is very likely that she will not ept Song Yun¡¯s assistance in the capital. It will be much easier for you to attack her.¡± ¡°Moreover, if the young master of the Lin family really likes her, you can send her to his bed.¡± This sentence came out of the man¡¯s mouth very easily. Chen Ya also lowered her head and snickered, ¡°Yes, if the young master of the Lin family likes Mo Yan, I can give Mo Yan to him as a bargaining chip to secure the project, and then shift the me onto Song Yun.¡± In the Deputy General Manager of Hong Jing¡¯s office, a vicious conspiracy was brewing. Chapter 88 Chapter 88 After returning home, after having dinner, Mo Yan started to search for information on the Lin family in Jing City. Rows and rows of words appeared, making Mo Yan¡¯s heart skip a beat. She recalled what Chen Ya had said beside her over and over again. ¡®Mo Yan, aren¡¯t you curious why CEO Song is sending you?¡¯ That¡¯s right! Why was CEO Song sending her? A newbie who didn¡¯t have the qualifications to sign a contract alone? What could she possibly bring to the table? Mo Yan¡¯s gaze couldn¡¯t help but fall onto the gossip again. She subconsciously touched her face. Did CEO Song take a liking to her appearance? Mo Yan¡¯s strange actions happened to be noticed by Luo Tao, who had just washed the dishes and walked out of the kitchen. Luo Tao walked over to Mo Yan¡¯s side and sat down. He also looked at the screen. It would have been better if he didn¡¯t look, but when he saw it, he immediately frowned. ¡°The Lin family in Jing City? Why are you searching for this?¡± ¡°Client, client information! Thepany said that they want to expand their business in Jing City, so I need to make a trip there.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. . Mo Yan nodded. She was starting to doubt the decision she made. Although she felt that CEO Song wasn¡¯t that kind of person, no matter how she thought about it, Mo Yan felt that she wasn¡¯t the best candidate to go to Jing City. Moreover, ording to CEO Song, she and Chen Ya were the people appointed by her and the Deputy General Manager respectively. That was bound to be rted to thepetition between the two of them. Why did CEO Song think that she could defeat Chen Ya? Luo Tao, on the other hand, was thinking differently from Mo Yan. He was thinking more about the dangers of this project. The Lin family was not as clean as they looked on the surface. Was there something hidden in thend that was being sold? ¡°Luo Tao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Yan asked when she saw that Luo Tao did not speak for a long time. Luo Tao touched Mo Yan¡¯s hair and said gently, ¡°I was wondering if I could go with you.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s mouth opened wide, and the bad thoughts in her mind flew away instantly. The exaggerated expression made Luo Taough, ¡°Your mouth can hold an egg.¡± Hearing what Luo Tao said, Mo Yan instantly covered her mouth and said through the gaps between her fingers, ¡°No!¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Then she blinked her big eyes at Luo Tao and said, ¡°You want to go with me! But thepany won¡¯t let you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll pay for it myself.¡± Luo Tao was touched by Mo Yan¡¯s cute look and said with a smile. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Pay for it¡­¡± Mo Yan¡¯s expression changed from surprise to distress. The expenses in the capital city were very high. Even though he said that he would pay for it himself, she would be the one giving him the money. Who knew how much money she would have left after paying off her debt next month. Although Luo Tao could guess what she was thinking, he still said to Mo Yan, ¡°Don¡¯t you want me to go with you? Or do you¡­¡± Luo Tao made a bitter expression as he spoke and nced at Mo Yan¡¯sputer screen. On it was the news of the young master of the Lin family. When Mo Yan saw it, she knew that it was not good. She really did not want to see Luo Tao¡¯s dejected expression. She could only grit her teeth and say, ¡°Go, why won¡¯t I want you to go? You have to apany me. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be good if someone takes advantage of me.¡± When he heard Mo Yan say this, Luo Tao¡¯s smile returned. Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s secretly relieved look, Luo Tao liked this kind of unrestrained mode of interaction even more. When it was time for Mo Yan to take a shower, Luo Tao walked to the balcony with his phone and dialed Qin Yuan¡¯s number. ¡°Qin Yuan, do you know about the Lin family¡¯s recent real estate deal?¡± Qin Yuan was ying games. He didn¡¯t even look at the phone when he picked it up. It was only when he heard Luo Tao¡¯s voice that he was shocked. ¡°Real estate? Lin family? Huo Zhen, why are you suddenly asking about the Lin family?¡± Ignoring his teammate¡¯s scolding, Qin Yuan immediately logged out of the game and asked Luo Tao. ¡°It¡¯s not for me, it¡¯s for Mo Yan. Herpany is going to develop in Jing City, and they¡¯re interested in working with the Lin family.¡± Because Mo Yan needed to work, Luo Tao could only patiently exin to Qin Yuan. ¡°Oh wow, Hong Jing¡¯s appetite is quite big! They even dare to work with the Lin family.¡± Qin Yuan sighed. He had to carefully do a check on the Lin family. ¡°Just tell me what you know.¡± ¡°What I know? I don¡¯t know anything! I¡¯m not interested in real estate, but I know that the Lin family is trouble.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao took a deep breath. He couldn¡¯t be angry with the idiot. Did he need Qin Yuan to tell him such nonsense? ¡°Cut the crap, go and investigate.¡± ¡°No, Huo Zhen, you should do it yourself! If my dad finds out that I¡¯m investigating the Lin family, he¡¯ll definitely give me a beating.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a beeping sound came from the other side of the phone. Qin Yuan rubbed his nose and sighed. He had no choice. Chapter 89 Chapter 89 After hanging up the phone, Luo Tao gazed out of the window with a serious gaze. He was bound to go to the capital city with Mo Yan. Not only for Mo Yan¡¯s safety, but also because his time was up. Luo Tao¡¯s heart was somewhat troubled. He had not made a final decision yet. ¡°Luo Tao? Luo Tao?¡± Mo Yan wiped her hair and called out his name twice. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Tao came back from the balcony. Mo Yan walked to his side and sniffed. ¡°Did you smoke?¡± Mo Yan knew that Luo Tao smoked because asionally when he came home, he would have a faint smell of cigarettes on him. However, Luo Tao had never smoked at home before, so she did not know what was wrong with him today. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Is there something wrong?¡± Mo Yan felt that Luo Tao seemed to have something on his mind. Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan. Her long hair was wet, and the water dripped down her neck and slowly slid into the cor of her pajamas, causing Luo Tao¡¯s eyes to darken. ¡°Do you still remember the night before your brother came?¡± . With Luo Tao¡¯s reminder, the memories that Mo Yan had thrown out of the window instantly returned to her mind. ¡°You, how can you still remember?¡± ¡°Of course I have to remember. I have regretted it for a long time.¡± Luo Tao held Mo Yan in his arms. Mo Yan¡¯s long hair, which was full of moisture, was also wet on his face. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan called Luo Tao¡¯s name in a soft voice. Not only was Luo Tao longing for her, she was also looking forward to Luo Tao taking a step closer. However, just as Mo Yan was waiting for Luo Tao¡¯s kiss tond on her lips, Luo Tao suddenly took a step back. ¡°Let me hug you to sleep tonight! I won¡¯t do anything.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was very gentle, so Mo Yan couldn¡¯t say anything to reject him. In Mo Yan¡¯s bedroom, Mo Yan wanted to face Luo Tao, but was rejected by him. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. Being hugged by Luo Tao, Mo Yan felt like she was being treasured. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Luo Tao, what¡¯s wrong? I feel like something is wrong with you.¡± With her back facing him, Mo Yan asked. Luo Tao¡¯s hot chest pressed against her body, causing Mo Yan¡¯s heart to race. ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m just wondering if we will continue living happily like this.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s words stopped Mo Yan. Mo Yan¡¯s expression froze, and her heart started to race. Continue living? Will they? She was just a substitute. Mo Lian was supposed to marry Luo Tao, and Mo Lian was supposed to be loved and cared for by Luo Tao. Thinking of this, Mo Yan felt like her heart was being grabbed by a big hand. She did not want to admit that she was jealous because she did not have the right. However, she could not control herself and wanted Luo Tao for herself. If one day Luo Tao found out about her identity and did not want her, or if Mo Lian found out about Luo Tao¡¯s good intentions and wanted to snatch Luo Tao back, where would she go? Just thinking about it made Mo Yan almost cry. Mo Yan shut herself in the nket, so that her voice would not sound so strange. ¡°Luo Tao, if one day you discover that I¡¯ve lied to you, lied to you about a very important matter, what would you do?¡± After a long time, Mo Yan did not receive an answer from Luo Tao. She felt like she was a condemned prisoner waiting to be hanged, hoping that the ruler would grant her a little favor and let her finish her sentence quickly. ¡°What kind of very important matter? Do you mean cheat on me?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice carried a hint of a smile. Mo Yan knew that he was teasing her again. She turned to face Luo Tao and said angrily, ¡°No! I won¡¯t cheat on you! I¡¯m loyal in this marriage, and¡­ I¡¯m loyal to you.¡± Mo Yan¡¯sst four words were very gentle. After saying that, she buried her face into Luo Tao¡¯s firm chest. Luo Tao did not tease her this time.

Won¡¯t you ignore me?¡± Mo Yan thought about what Luo Tao had said and shook her head, ¡°No, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to bear to part with you.¡± Luo Tao was touched. As he hugged Mo Yan tighter and tighter, Luo Tao thought that perhaps he would really do as Mo Cheng wished and not cross the line. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Because the more you cared about someone, the less you wanted to hurt them. He was afraid that Mo Yan wouldn¡¯t be able to ept his identity, so before he confessed, he would not touch Mo Yan again.

Mo Yany on hisp and flipped through a document. After reading for a while, Mo Yan was in a daze again. Her eyes could not focus. In fact, from yesterday onwards, Luo Tao had noticed Mo Yan¡¯s abnormality and asked her if something had happened. Mo Yan hesitated for a long time but still voiced out the doubts in her heart. This time, not only did she tell him about her and Chen Ya, but she also told him about the conflict between CEO Song and the Deputy General Manager. ¡°Two nights ago, when I said that I was going to Jing City to expand the business, CEO Song specifically asked me if I wanted to go. I answered yes. But I don¡¯t understand why CEO Song is sending me there? There are many people in thepany who are more senior and more capable than me. Why is she asking me?¡± After listening to Mo Yan¡¯s words, Luo Tao pondered for a moment and asked, ¡°Do you think that your leader asked you to go because of those scandals about the Lin family?¡± Seeing that he had spoken out her guess so straightforwardly, Mo Yan silently agreed with his words. ¡°I can¡¯t think of anything else. Could it be that CEO Song chose me because I went against Chen Ya? This is simply impossible!¡± ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s impossible,¡± Luo Tao thought to himself. However, he had already guessed Song Yun¡¯s thoughts. . Although Mo Yan was a neer, her abilities were not bad. She had a lot of room for development. It was worth Song Yun taking the risk. However, there was another more important reason besides this. It was Qin Yuan. Mo Yan was the person Qin Yuan had named to be taken care of. With the double push from her and Qin Yuan, there was a high chance that her trip to the capital city would be sessful. As for the scandals about the Lin family, Luo Tao curled the corner of his mouth into a mocking smile. ¡°Luo Tao, are you in a daze?¡± Mo Yan put down the paper and looked at the man holding the book. Luo Tao gently stroked Mo Yan¡¯s long hair and replied, ¡°No.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just wondering what kind of person your leader is.¡± ¡°You mean CEO Song?¡± Mo Yan asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Yan recalled the few times she had interacted with Song Yun, she said, ¡°I think that CEO Song is very amazing! She started her own business at the age of 30, founded Hong Jing, and grew the company to a remarkable extent. She is very good to her employees. She would also send colleagues home when everyone was working overtime.

I was just curious! It¡¯s all because of that big mouth of Chen Ya¡¯s! She deliberately came to me and told me that the project was the Lin family in Jing City¡¯s, causing me to think so much.¡± Mo Yan grumbled unhappily, but it was this sentence that made Luo Tao notice the key information. ¡°You said that Chen Ya specifically told you about it?¡± Luo Tao frowned and asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Thinking about it, Mo Yan also noticed something unusual. Why did Chen Ya deliberately mention the Lin family to her? If she had not listened to Chen Ya¡¯s words, she would not have searched for news about the Lin family. Instead, she would have focused all her energy on the project. ¡°Chen Ya wants me to have suspicions about CEO Song?¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s more than that.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s expression was slightly solemn as he continued, ¡°If something really happened, who would be the first person that you would think of who set the trap?¡± ¡°CEO Song?¡± Mo Yan almost cried out in shock. No wonder Chen Ya wanted to say that to her. She knew that Chen Ya had bad intentions, but did CEO Song not have that kind of intention? The moment Mo Yan thought it through, a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart. She did not dare to trust anyone right now. She had to be very careful during this trip to the capital city. Looking at Mo Yan who was like a startled bird, Luo Tao could not help but feel his heart ache. It was not just what Mo Yan had said. Luo Tao had other thoughts regarding working with the Lin family. He needed to get someone to investigate further. Luo Tao knew what Mo Yan was afraid of. However, he could not reveal the reason why Song Yun was taking care of her.

You have to protect me well!¡± Mo Yan ced her hand in Luo Tao¡¯s and said in a gentle voice. The man took advantage of the situation and shook her hand. He smiled and replied, ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡± Chapter 91 Chapter 91 After arranging with Luo Tao, Mo Yan pulled him out to go shopping. Although she made it sound like she just wanted Luo Tao to fulfill his promise to protect her, she actually just wanted to experience the feeling of going shopping with her husband for once. The two of them came to the mall that Mo Yan used to frequent. Things here were very expensive, so Mo Yan did note to shop. She just wanted to go with Luo Tao to see the ces she had visited before. Suddenly, Luo Tao received a call from a friend. To give him some privacy, Mo Yan went to the beverage shop that she used to like very much and ordered milk tea and coffee while waiting for him. ¡°Mo Yan?¡± Hearing someone calling her, Mo Yan turned around and looked. ¡°It¡¯s really you!

To speak ill of someone you don¡¯t know, seems like you weren¡¯t brought up right.¡± After saying that, Mo Yan wanted to leave. She did not want to stand here and be insulted by others. Moreover, she knew the three people behind Mo Lian and the girl with long curly hair. They were the most famous gossips in the universitymunity. Whatever came to the ears of these three people, it would spread throughout the entire grade the next day. Many people did not like them in university.

Avoiding it doesn¡¯t make it less of a fact. Your mother seduced my father and almost tore my family apart. You also followed your mother¡¯s example. I don¡¯t know how you managed to hook up with the young master of the Qin family. Why are you so shameless? Insisting on bringing trouble to our family?¡± Thinking of the money that the Mo family had lost because of Mo Yan, Mo Lian¡¯s voice became increasingly shrill, and she appeared charismatic because of her hatred and anger. The bystanders couldn¡¯t help but believe her. Mo Lian knew that Mo Yan would not expose the fact that she had married Luo Tao in ce of her, so she thought her ndering Mo Yan like this was enough. Just as Mo Lian thought, Mo Yan was so angry that her entire body was trembling. ¡°Your mother is the mistress and you are the illegitimate child! My mother is Mo Dong¡¯s first wife.

The two of them got married 29 years ago, and five yearster, Mo Cheng and I were born. Later, because Chang Lu brought you along, their marriage was destroyed and they got a divorce. Mo Lian, do you need me to show you the marriage certificate?¡± Mo Lian did not expect Mo Yan to know so clearly. She even exined the timeline. She could not help but look a little flustered. This was somewhat different from what she knew. However, now was not the time to think about this, Mo Lian hurriedly tried to remedy the situation. ¡°Ha! Mo Yan, you really know how to spout nonsense. Ask my father¡¯s friends. Which one of them doesn¡¯t know that my mother is my father¡¯s wife? If what you said is true, how could they not know your mother? They haven¡¯t even met your mother? You¡¯re saying all this because you don¡¯t dare to admit that your mother is a mistress!¡± Mo Yan red fiercely at Mo Lian. Even after her detailed exnation, Mo Lian could still twist the truth! She really wanted to throw her mother and Mo Dong¡¯s divorce certificate onto Mo Lian¡¯s face. The two of them spoke one after another, causing the surrounding audience to be confused. It seemed like everything they said was reasonable, but it also seemed like there was something ridiculous about them. They couldn¡¯t tell what was true and what wasn¡¯t. Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Seeing that she could not win against Mo Yan, Mo Lian rolled her eyes and a vicious n instantly surfaced in her mind. Mo Yan¡¯s substitute marriage was a ticking time bomb.

And that gangster, didn¡¯t he threaten herst time? Even if she killed Mo Yan, what could that gangster do to her? Seducing the young master of the Qin family after getting married¡­ This little bitch was really just like her slutty mother. Mo Lian lowered her eyes slightly to hide the malicious light in her eyes, she pretended to sigh and said, ¡°If you put it that way, I am confused about what happened to my parents. But I hope that since you¡¯ve achieved your wish, you won¡¯t disturb my family anymore. I¡¯ve given you the person you want, and the money you want, the young master of the Qin family has already taken it from my family. From now on, let¡¯s cut all ties.¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Mo Yan was still thinking about how to prove her mother¡¯s identity, but unexpectedly, Mo Lian spoke again, and Mo Yan subconsciously replied. ¡°I wonder how you are doing with your husband?¡± Mo Lian asked. Mo Yan did not understand the purpose of her sudden change of topic. Her heart became more vignt. ¡°Back then, when you heard that I was engaged to the young master of the Luo family, you thought that the Luo family was either rich or noble. Without knowing the truth, you asked father to let you get married to Luo Tao. Father was not willing. The Luo family believed that the one who was engaged to their young master was the legitimate daughter of the Mo family. However, you told my father that if he didn¡¯t let you get married, you would publicize his mistake. In order to prevent the Mo familypany from going into turmoil and causing the employees to lose their jobs, my father had no choice but to agree to your unreasonable request.¡± Mo Lian sighed. She looked as if she had been greatly hurt. ¡°So, I want to ask, are you and your husband okay now?¡± When a strong person showed their weak side, it would cause people to unconsciously feel sympathy for them. Mo Lian was acting like this now, pretending like she was the one who had suffered. Mo Yan¡¯s eyes slowly widened as she spoke, and she had a new understanding of Mo Lian¡¯s ability to lie through her teeth. Mo Lian said that she stole her ce in her marriage? That she wanted to marry a hooligan that she had never seen before? That she thought that the hooligan came from a good family? Although she had indeed fallen in love with Luo Tao now, before they got along, her impression of Luo Tao was only that he was a hooligan who always fought with others and had been imprisoned. What Mo Lian said was completely made up. However, nobody cared whether it was the truth or not. People only liked to listen to stories. If a story was interesting, whether it was the truth or not was no longer important. Because they were only there to join in the fun, listen and gossip, who would care if a stranger was wronged? As the people around whispered, Mo Yan finally could no longer suppress her emotions. She took a step forward and gave Mo Lian a loud p on the face. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Mo Lian, don¡¯t you remember why I got married back then?¡± Mo Yan stared at the side of Mo Lian¡¯s face. She wanted to know how Mo Lian would continue to nder her. Mo Lian took half a step back in shock. She did not move for a long time. Mo Yan saw that Mo Lian had the intention to fight back. Mo Yan was already prepared to defend himself. Unexpectedly, Mo Lian raised her red and swollen face and two lines of clear tears fell. She sobbed, ¡°I¡¯ve endured your p. From now on, we¡¯re even. Please don¡¯te near my family and my life again.¡± In an instant, Mo Yan was angered by Mo Lian andughed. She couldn¡¯t control her tears, but she refused to let them fall. Just as they were in a stalemate, a woman¡¯s voice came from the crowd. She sounded to be in her thirties or forties. ¡°Aiyo, little girl, why did you hit her? She¡¯s only speaking the truth! Kids nowadays!¡± She even clicked her tongue. After the woman¡¯s spoke, the small discussion gradually grew louder. The flood of rumors drowned Mo Yan. Mo Yan only felt a wave of nausea. The sudden dizziness made her lose her bnce. Suddenly, a pair ofrge hands held onto Mo Yan¡¯s waist, preventing her from falling down. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan opened her eyes and finally saw a familiar person. At this moment, Mo Yan could no longer hold back her tears. She threw herself into Luo Tao¡¯s arms and cried silently. The feeling of being wrongly used by so many people made her physically and mentally exhausted. She did not even have the chance to defend herself. Mo Lian¡¯s interlocking traps fully discredited her. She was like a puppet, being strung around by Mo Lian. Chapter 93 Chapter 93 ¡°Don¡¯t cry, tell me what¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Tao gently pulled Mo Yan away from him and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. However, to no avail. After a tear was wiped away, a new one would surge up. Mo Yan didn¡¯t know how to exin it to Luo Tao. She gritted her teeth and stood on the spot. Luo Tao¡¯s gaze swept past the middle-aged woman who was the first to speak in the crowd. The middle- aged woman was frightened by his bone-piercing gaze and quickly slipped away. Finally, Luo Tao fixed his gaze on Mo Lian. This was the first time Mo Lian saw Luo Tao. She could not help but be shocked by Luo Tao¡¯s appearance and aura. She could not believe that Luo Tao was such a person. Didn¡¯t they say that he was just a local ruffian who had been in prison? Looking at Luo Tao¡¯s cold and handsome appearance, Mo Lian was slightly lost in thought. ¡°You have once again crossed the line.¡± The familiar voice made Mo Lian recall the call that she once had with a man. At that time, what did he say? It seemed like he said he would make her regret it? Mo Lian shivered and came to her senses. Previously, he only threatened her through the phone, so she wasn¡¯t very affected. Now that she saw him in person, Mo Lian felt a chill from the bottom of her spine. He really looked as if he wanted to kill her. Being suppressed by the powerful aura, Mo Lian did not dare to pretend to cry anymore. At this moment, it was somewhat strenuous for her to stand up straight. Mo Lian forced a smile and said, ¡°You are, Mo¡­¡± She paused and rephrased her words. ¡°You are her husband, Luo Tao?¡± Luo Tao did not reply. He only looked at Mo Lian quietly, as if he was looking at a dead object. ¡°Luo Tao?¡± The long curly-haired girl who had been watching the show silently finally spoke at this moment. Mo Lian nced at the girl gratefully, thinking that she was trying to help her out. Luo Tao turned his head indifferently and continued to look at Mo Yan. He didn¡¯t even look at the long curly-haired girl. The long curly-haired girl couldn¡¯t hold back her curiosity, and her voice was filled with anger. She asked again, ¡°Your name is Luo Tao?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t cry. If you cry again, your face will be ruined. Didn¡¯t wee out today to y?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite.

She was obviously holding back her anger, but she didn¡¯t know how to vent it on Mo Lian. ¡°Seeing that you¡¯re so angry, why don¡¯t we send them to the police station for a few days to calm you down?¡± ¡°Police station?¡± Upon hearing these two words, Mo Yan raised her head in confusion. Herrge eyes were filled with tears that could not be shed. At this time, the surrounding crowd had almost dispersed. Many people saw that the man hade with ill intent and took the opportunity to slip away. The remaining people also gradually dispersed because there was no reason to stay. A few people were still peering at them from a distance. Upon hearing the two words ¡°Police station¡±, it was as if a propeller had been installed and they ran quickly. Luo Tao kissed away Mo Yan¡¯s tears and dyed Mo Yan¡¯s originally pale face red. ¡°Why, why?¡± ¡°Why what?¡± Seeing that Mo Yan¡¯s attention had been diverted, Luo Tao smiled and stroked Mo Yan¡¯s head. Mo Yan grabbed his hand and held it in her hand. She said in an extremely soft voice, ¡°Why did you kiss me?¡± ¡°You are my wife. Isn¡¯t it normal for me to kiss you?¡± The gentle Luo Tao made Mo Lian stare straight at him, while the long curly-haired girl¡¯s face turned ashen. This was the first time she had been ignored by someone. Seeing that the man had been ignoring her, the long curly-haired girl was so angry that sheughed, ¡°Who do you think you are? You want to send me to the police station for a few days? Do you know who I am?¡± The warm atmosphere between the two was broken. Luo Tao put one hand on Mo Yan¡¯s waist and prepared to leave with her. Mo Yan also followed his movements and turned around. When she was at her most helpless, it was Luo Tao who gave her his arm to support her. She wanted to rely on him, trust him, and leave everything to him to handle. ¡°Stop!¡± The long curly-haired girl became more and more irritable after being ignored by the two of them. Her voice was a little hoarse when she called out to the two of them. The two of them naturally ignored the insignificant person. However¡­ Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

Mo Yan looked at Mo Lian in disbelief. She really could never imagine how Mo Lian would continue to nder her. Luo Tao also turned around and shot a cold nce at Mo Lian. However, Mo Lian thought that she had seeded in sowing discord and did not notice it. Although the girl with long curly hair did not say anything, she also looked at Mo Yan with a look of disgust and pride. Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Mo Yan waspletely disgusted by the two of them. She endured her nausea and said, ¡°Your viciousness has made me look at you in a new light.¡± ¡°I only said the truth.¡± Mo Lian continued to be stubborn. And when Mo Yan wanted to speak again, she felt Luo Tao¡¯s gaze. That gentle and focused gaze made Mo Yan instantly panic. She was sure that she had not done anything wrong to Luo Tao, but she was also afraid that Luo Tao would be brainwashed by them and suspect her. ¡°Luo Tao, no, I didn¡¯t.¡± Mo Yan exined anxiously to Luo Tao. Luo Tao looked at her gently and gently stroked her back. ¡°I believe her, even if she really did make a mistake one day. As long as she is willing to return to my side, I am willing to stay with her.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s heart pounded, and she subconsciously nced at Mo Lian and the long curly-haired girl. The two of them were speechless. Mo Yan turned around and gave Luo Tao a big smile, taking the initiative to hold his arm. ¡°Come, let¡¯s go y.¡± In front of the beverage shop, two people with strange expressions and three petrified people were left frozen on the spot. After walking for a long distance, Mo Yan was still reminiscing about the funny looks of the few of them. She swept away her previous depression. She didn¡¯t like to harbor negative feelings. After walking with Luo Tao for a while, Mo Yan realized that something was wrong. She nced at Luo Tao and thought about what had happened before. Mo Yan said suspiciously, ¡°Why do I feel that what you said just now is a little familiar? Have I heard it somewhere before?¡± ¡°You have?¡± Luo Tao smiled nonchntly. At this moment, the two of them stopped at the entrance of a clothing store. The screen in the store was broadcasting the recently popr television series. The male lead of the television series said, ¡°As long as she is willing to be with me, I don¡¯t care about these things.¡± Mo Yan was instantly dumbfounded. As she recalled the situation just now, she was speechless. ¡°You, you¡­ No way!¡± Luo Tao looked at the screen andughed lightly, ¡°My memory is not bad.¡± Luo Tao usually did not watch television dramas, and he would not watch anything rted to love. It was just that there was once when Mo Yan was so obsessed with the plot of a popr drama that she dragged Luo Tao along to watch it with her. He had only watched it for a short while, but he had already memorized the male lead¡¯s actions? After receiving Luo Tao¡¯s affirmation, Mo Yan instantlyughed her head off. She really did not think that Luo Tao would learn how to flirt with girls from a television drama. Should she feel honored? She was the one who was being flirted with. ¡°This TV series is so popr, do you think Mo Lian saw it too?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan was already tickled beyond words. Shepletely didn¡¯t notice that she had already let the cat out of the bag and was still chattering non-stop. Luo Tao looked at her gently and didn¡¯t expose her. ¡°Everyone says that they want to be the main character in a TV series, but Mo Lian just had to be the viin. The plot is still so simr, hahahahahahahahahaha! How can she be so silly? Oh my god, this is so funny.¡± Mo Yanughed along the way, attracting the attention of people passing by. Luo Tao did not stop her. He only listened to her. After Mo Lian¡¯s interference, he only hoped that Mo Yan could have fun and forget about what happened before. However, some people still had to be punished. Qin Yuan was ying with a new piece of jade. The batch that he had just received was pretty good. Qin Yuan was prepared to keep a few pieces for himself. When he returned to the capital, he would ask the Master of the Shen family to carve a few more patterns. Suddenly, a special message notification sounded. Qin Yuan swiped his phone. [I heard that Mo Yan seduced you?] These few words scared Qin Yuan so much that the precious jade in his hand almost fell to the ground. What was that? Mo Yan? Seduced? Me? Qin Yuan looked at these few words and could understand them separately. However, he did not know what they meant when they were connected. Swallowing his saliva, Qin Yuan used his fastest hand speed to type out a line of words. [Which little bastard created this rumor about me? Does he not think that I will skin him alive?] [Rumor about you?] The three word reply stunned Qin Yuan for a while before he reacted. [It¡¯s a rumor about sister-inw! Sister-inw and I are innocent, there is no seduction. Even if there is, it would be me who seduced sister-inw.] Qin Yuan¡¯s hand speed was too fast.

[On the first floor of Walker, send the troublemakers in.] Chapter 95 Chapter 95 After leaving the mall, Mo Yan brought Luo Tao to many different ces. For example, the amusement park where Mo Yan used to work. At that time, her family of three had just been kicked out. In order to earn money as soon as possible, she chose to work as a park doll every day. The interior of the doll was very stuffy, and the entire set of equipment was also very heavy. However, Mo Yan was very happy doing it. That was her first job. Pulling Luo Tao along, Mo Yan rented a tandem bike. After paying the deposit, the two of them rented it for an hour. The two of them rode around the periphery of the amusement park. Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao¡¯s expressionless face and burst intoughter. Facing Luo Tao¡¯s puzzled gaze, she said, ¡°You don¡¯t look good with a bike.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Tao also felt that riding it was very awkward. Although he knew how to ride it, he had only ridden it when he was learning. Mo Yan smiled wantonly. ¡°Luo Tao, do you know? Many times, I feel that you don¡¯t look like a hooligan. How can a hooligan know foreignnguages and care about current economic affairs!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Luo Tao asked. He was wondering if Mo Yan was also doubting his identity. ¡°Yes! Look at how handsome you are. Your skills are good. You know foreignnguages and often give me many useful suggestions. Even your table manners are better than mine. Luo Tao, I¡¯m very curious. What exactly did you do to get sent to prison back then?¡± Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan¡¯s gaze was not probing, but she asked the question frankly. Luo Tao stared at her for a moment and said vaguely, ¡°I identally hit someone. That person¡¯s family has some power.¡± His vagueness gave her room to believe him. ¡°Oh, I see!¡± Mo Yan thought of Chen Ya and Mo Lian¡¯s faces and couldn¡¯t help but nod in understanding. The two of them rode around the periphery of the amusement park rides. There were not many tourists, and it was not noisy. The breeze blew, and apanied by Mo Yan¡¯s pleasant voice, the image of the home that Mo Yan mentioned slowly appeared in Luo Tao¡¯s mind. He had nevercked anything, but listening to Mo Yan¡¯s narration made him feel an unprecedented yearning. ¡°Luo Tao, do you think this n of mine is possible?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan¡¯s smiling eyes seemed to be filled with warmth. ¡°Sure, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± After receiving Luo Tao¡¯s affirmation, Mo Yan¡¯s mood became even better, and she started humming her favorite little tune. The two of them did not go on any of the amusement park rides. They rode back to the entrance and left. When they walked out, Mo Yan suddenly remembered that she had brought Luo Tao here to y. With a dejected face, Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao. It was all his fault for amodating her, making her unable to stop talking. Unknowingly, ording to their usual habits, they left, just like it was time to get off work. Luo Tao was amused by Mo Yan. Every time he was with her, he would have a novel experience. This was his first timeing to the amusement park. Although he was not interested in going on rides, riding a bicycle and leaving was something that Luo Tao had never expected. ¡°Luo Tao, do you think I¡¯m a little silly?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s face was full of tears. Luo Tao pressed his fist against his lips and coughed lightly, forcing out augh that almost escaped his mouth. ¡°No.¡± Although he said that, the smile that was inadvertently revealed in his eyes stillpletely exposed his thoughts. ¡°Liar, bad man.¡± Mo Yan grumbled unhappily.

The two of them were like an ordinary couple, holding hands, walking slowly under the sunset. The afterglow pulled their shadows very long. Due to their outstanding looks, people often took a few more nces at them. The two did not care, they only had each other in their eyes. Chapter 96 Chapter 96 [Damn it! This stupid woman from the Mo family is too much! How can she flip the whole story around? How dare she say that sister-inw¡¯s mother was the mistress? Who the hell was the mistress? Does she not know? She even said that sister-inw hooked up with me? This is unfair! I was clearly the one sucking up to sister-inw!] [She even said that I pressurized the Mo family to give sister-inw money? That money originally belonged to sister-inw!] [¡­] [I can¡¯t believe this stupid woman! She¡¯s so good at making up stories! Originally, she heard that Luo Tao was a gangster who had been in prison and was unwilling to marry him. Yet, she even distorted the truth about this?

Why did youe only after so long?] This sentence was the end of Qin Yuan¡¯s pile of messages. Because he was with Mo Yan, Luo Tao did not look at his phone after receiving Qin Yuan¡¯s messages. It was not until the two of them reached home and Mo Yan went to prepare dinner that Luo Tao was free. [Send me the video.] Luo Tao¡¯s face was cold and solemn, and the cold light in his eyes grew brighter. Qin Yuan seemed to have been waiting for his reply. Right after Luo Tao sent the message, a 20-minute video was sent over. To prevent Mo Yan from noticing anything unusual, Luo Tao put on his headphones and walked into the bedroom. Just as the door was closed, an ear-piercing sound was transmitted into Luo Tao¡¯s ears through the headphones. ¡°Like mother, like daughter. Just by looking at her, she has the face of a vixen.¡± Luo Tao looked at the video. In the video, the woman who had stopped them from leaving was shouting. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. As Mo Yan¡¯s back was facing the camera, Luo Tao could not see her expression. However, her sonorous and powerful mocking made the corners of Luo Tao¡¯s mouth slowly curl up. His woman was not a weak kitten who allowed herself to be taunted without showing her ws. As the quarrel between the two escted, Mo Yan gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. The reason why Mo Lian seemed to be winning was actually because Mo Yan had too many scruples. Moreover, Mo Lian had no bottom line, which caused the situation to be one-sided. Unknowingly, Luo Tao¡¯s gentle smile while looking Mo Yan had turned into a cruel one. He looked like a demon that had crawled out of Hell, causing fear in people¡¯s hearts. Those who were familiar with him knew that if he was just angry, his face would be very cold, the kind that would freeze people out. But once he smiled, the person would be a goner. Of course, it did not mean that he would kill the person, but that the person would suffer. Since Mo Lian did not take his warning to heart, then it was time for him to let her know the consequences of provoking someone she should not have provoked. Mo Lian could treat Mo Yan this way only because of the Mo family¡¯s wealth. Then, he would take everything from Mo Lian and let Mo Yan step into the mud herself and deal with her as equals. Qin Yuan sent a message at the right time, ¡°Huo Zhen, how are you going to deal with that stupid woman from the Mo family?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Or do you think that dealing with her will dirty your hands? Then I¡¯ll make the first move.¡± Two consecutive messages were enough to show Qin Yuan¡¯s disgust towards Mo Lian. ¡°If the heavens wish for her death, they will drive her mad.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s twelve words showed his attitude. Qin Yuan stared at these words for a long time before he slowly covered his face andughed. Wish for her death? Hehe! This stupid woman, Mo Lian, had really angered Huo Zhen. How would Huo Zhen deal with Mo Lian? Lift her up to the sky and then throw her down? Mo Lian had really crossed the line¡­ Even making up lies about him and Mo Yan. Huo Zhen might not believe the rumors after hearing them once or twice, but what about three or four times, or even more times? What would Huo Zhen do if the rumors about the two of them spread everywhere? Human nature had always been unreliable. One had to get rid of the source of the rumors to stop the spreading. ¡°Oh right, should we also deal with the daughter of the richest man in C City in as well?¡±Qin Yuan suddenly thought of the long curly-haired girl that appeared in the video. ¡°The richest man in C City?¡± Upon seeing Luo Tao¡¯s question, Qin Yuan knew that Luo Tao did not care about the identity of the people who quarreled with Mo Yan at all. He wanted to punish all of them without hesitation.

However, it was also true. Huo Zhen¡¯s family was one of the most prestigious families in the entire Z Country. Why would he be scared of the richest person in C City? The video evidence was sufficient. It was easy to deal with them. Mo Lian and the daughter of the richest man in C City would be locked up for three days. The rest would be locked up for seven days! As for why the two of them would only be locked up for three days, Qin Yuan couldn¡¯t help butugh. It was a joke to make them feel special about themselves. Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Mo Yan¡¯spany valued this trip to Jing City very much. Before they went, the leaders had sent a few people to Jing City to make arrangements in advance. A few dayster, Mo Yan realized something. She originally thought that thepany wanted them topete with otherpanies for the project that Lin Group would be involved in, but in fact, they were fighting for the opportunity to cooperate with Lin Group. Lin Group still had control over the entire project, and onlypanies who stood out from the otherpanies would be able to negotiate with Lin Group in buying shares, dividing the workload of the cooperation project, and so on. This was the reason why they needed their sales staff to work on the field. They had toe up with an excellent marketing n that would catch the eyes of Lin Group and make them choose them.

After Mo Yan found out, she was quite shocked and immediately sent a message to Li Guoguo. ording to Li Guoguo, she had gone to CEO Song herself. Because Mo Yan did not have a good reputation in thepany, the few people who CEO Song wanted to appoint were very hesitant. It was at this time that Li Guoguo went to CEO Song and persuaded her to let her go. Time flew by quickly. The leader had set the date for their flight to Jing City to be the day after tomorrow. While Mo Yan was busy with her work, she also had to purchase the items that the two of them needed to go to Jing City. Luo Tao wanted to tell her that there was no need, but seeing Mo Yan constantly thinking of him, Luo Tao decided to be selfish secretly. On the night that he went to the amusement park with Mo Yan, he dreamed of the home that she mentioned. In that dream, they bought a house that belonged solely to them. It wasfortable and warm. Just as Mo Yan had said, the room was decorated with a warm yellow color chosen by her. There were fresh flowers blooming on the flower rack on the windowsill.

In Qin Yuan¡¯s words, the great fourth master Huo was actually reduced to the point where he needed to take on a part-time job. Hearing this, Luo Tao gave Qin Yuan a kick. Actually, there were many times when Luo Tao himself could not understand why he would do all these things for Mo Yan. Since being together with Mo Yan, he had done many things that he had never thought he would do. Some of them made him confused, some of them made himugh.

After all, CEO Song¡¯s letting of the neer Mo Yan to go to Jing City were really hard to understand. Before boarding the ne, Mo Yan sent Luo Tao a text message, asking Luo Tao to tell her when he was about to get off the high-speed train, and that she would pick him up at the station. After receiving a positive reply, Mo Yan put away her phone. The flight from C City to Jing City would take three hours and the high-speed train would take a longer time. Mo Yan decided to go to the hotel first to make arrangements. Mo Yan had nned very well, but she didn¡¯t know that Luo Tao boarded the private ne owned by the Huo family before she left. He actually arrived before her. Chapter 98 Chapter 98 The private nended on the helipad in the back garden of the Huo Manor. The Huo family had been waiting for a long time. Standing in front of them was the Huo family¡¯s old master, Huo Qi. Although the old master was in his 70s, he was still in good health. However, when he received the news of Huo Zhen¡¯s unexpected death, he fell seriously ill.

Huo Zhen greeted everyone one by one and did not make any mistakes in etiquette. For the old man¡¯s health, everyone decided to hold the weing banquet for Huo Zhen in a few days, so they left after greeting each other. Returning to the familiar room, Huo Zhen was still a little absent-minded. He had not expected old master Huo to be so emotional today. Now, it seemed that it would not be possible for him to stay at a hotel anymore. It was said that ns could not keep up with changes, but it was true. As soon as Mo Yan got off the ne, she sent a message to Luo Tao. She did not expect Luo Tao to callContent is ? by N?velDrama.Org. her. ¡°Hello, Luo Tao, I got off the ne. Where are you now?¡± Luo Tao looked at thergewn outside the window. He hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°There are some problems at work. I might not be able to go to Jing City for the time being.¡± When Mo Yan heard Luo Tao¡¯s words, her excited expression gradually dimmed. She calmed herself down, sorted out her emotions, and smiled at Luo Tao, ¡°I see! Then you have to work hard! Otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to earn money to support me!¡± It would be a lie to say that she wasn¡¯t disappointed. Although Mo Yan was here for work, she was looking forward to walking around Jing City with Luo Tao in her spare time. Now that her ns had changed, she could only spend more time with sister Xu and Li Guoguo. ¡°Alright, take care of yourself. Stay with your colleagues, don¡¯t go out alone. I¡¯lle over after things are settled.¡± ¡°Yes, okay.¡± Then she thought of Luo Tao¡¯sst sentence and raised her voice, ¡°Will youe soon?¡± Luo Tao could hear the happiness in Mo Yan¡¯s words andughed softly. ¡°Yes, I still want to tour Jing City with you.¡± Mo Yan smiled with her eyes curved, and her voice became sweeter, ¡°Okay, Hubby, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Okay, take care of yourself,¡± Luo Tao reminded gently. ¡°Okay! I promise to follow your instructions! When youe, I¡¯ll return to you a fair, fat, and unharmed wife!¡± ¡°Naughty girl!¡± Luo Tao smiled as he hung up the phone, and his expression gradually returned to normal. Mo Yan¡¯s trip to Jing City this time was fraught with danger. It was not only because of the Deputy General Manager¡¯s malicious intentions, but also because the Huo family could not find out about Mo Yan¡¯s existence for the time being. Making a call to his subordinate, Luo Tao gave an order to protect Mo Yan and emphasized that Mo Yan should not have any contact with the other members of the Huo family. Since Lin Group¡¯s project was still not fully investigated, It was time for him to have a face-to-face chat with young master Lin. ¡­ When Mo Yan heard this, she could not help butugh after hanging up the phone. This caused sister Xu and Li Guoguo to look over frequently. Li Guoguo tugged on Mo Yan¡¯s sleeve and asked, ¡°Mo Yan, why are you so happy?¡± ¡°I am?¡± Mo Yan forced a smile and pretended to be serious. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re smiling from ear to ear.¡± Li Guoguo did not hesitate to expose Mo Yan¡¯s happiness. She whispered to her, ¡°My husband said that after I finish my work, he wille to the Jing City and go back with me.¡± ¡°Huh? Your husband wille?¡± Li Guoguo subconsciously nced at Mo Yan¡¯s wrist as she spoke. Mo Yan nodded. Although Luo Tao was supposed toe to protect her, since Luo Tao couldn¡¯te, she believed that she could take care of herself. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

He bought you an expensive bracelet and is evening to pick you up from your business trip.¡± Hearing Li Guoguo¡¯s words, Mo Yan smiled but didn¡¯t answer. She wanted the whole world to know how good Luo Tao was, but she also wanted to hide him and keep him for herself. When Li Guoguo said this, sister Xu deliberately looked at her and frowned. Mo Yan caught a glimpse of Chen Ya and the other two passing by and stopped talking. They were here to work. It would be bad if Chen Ya caught them. Thepany arranged for everyone to stay in a hotel in the city, not far from Lin Group¡¯s building. ording to the receptionist, the hotel had received several guests in the past few days. It seemed that thepetition for Lin Group¡¯s project was more intense than expected. Chapter 99 Chapter 99 The hotels in the city were generally expensive, and the hotels near the Lin Group building were all high- end hotels. When the three of them checked in, they couldn¡¯t help but sigh at their living conditions. The six of them checked in to two rooms. Even the normal size rooms were luxurious, and the two double beds were enough for them. After tidying up her things, Mo Yan wanted to rest. However, Li Guoguo was extremely excited to go out and walk around. Unable to reject her, Mo Yan had no choice but to go with her. Sister Xu did not go. She felt a little airsick and decided to rest in the hotel. Jing City was indeed the capital of Z County. C City was iparable. The two of them had juste out of the hotel when Mo Yan received a text message from Luo Tao. The message exined in detail where they could venture out to in Jing City in their spare time. Li Guoguo also saw it, and a hint of envy shed in her eyes. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Mo Yan, your husband is really nice.¡± Mo Yan smiled and typed a line of words to reply to Luo Tao, [I was just about to go out for a walk. What a coincidence that you¡¯re sending me ces I can go now. Don¡¯t you think we have a tacit understanding?] At the end, there was a smiley face emoji. Not long after, Luo Tao sent another message: [Yes.] Staring at that word, Mo Yanughed out loud. The more they talked, the more Mo Yan felt that Luo Tao was cute. Mo Yan and Li Guoguo decided to walk around amercial street not far from the hotel. While walking, Li Guoguo asked Mo Yan about her and Luo Tao. ¡°Mo Yan, where did you find such a good husband? I¡¯m so envious! Tell me about you two!¡± ¡°Where did I find him¡­¡± Mo Yan thought for a moment, then said jokingly, ¡°I didn¡¯t find him, he fell from the sky.¡± Li Guoguo pouted her lips unhappily, her face full of betrayal, which made Mo Yan pull her cheek in amusement. Actually, Mo Yan was still on guard against Li Guoguo before, and she did not want Li Guoguo to get involved in the war between her and Chen Ya. However, after Li Guoguo took the initiative to tell CEO Song that she wanted toe, Mo Yan let her walls down. In her heart, she felt a little closer to this little girl. ¡°Mo Yan, just tell me! I¡¯m not married yet, tell me for reference.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan recalled the times she spent with Luo Tao. It was true that she felt that Luo Tao had fallen from the sky. This marriage did not belong to her, but to Mo Lian. At first, she had no choice but to marry Luo Tao. But after spending time together, she realized that Luo Tao was not what the rumors said. He was very powerful and charming, making her unconsciously attracted to him. ¡°Well, how should I put it?¡± Mo Yan thought for a moment and continued, ¡°Many times, you can¡¯t judge a book by its cover, and you can¡¯t make assumptions about others based on what you hear about them.¡± Li Guoguo nced at her and shook her head to show that she didn¡¯t understand. Therefore, Mo Yan rephrased her words and asked, ¡°Do you know about the rumors in thepany?¡± ¡°About you?¡± ¡°No, about my husband.¡± Li Guoguo recalled and frowned, ¡°They said that your husband is a gangster. I don¡¯t believe them.¡± ¡°Actually, I also don¡¯t think that Luo Tao is a gangster.¡± Mo Yan smiled. ¡°Although he doesn¡¯t know how to cook, he is willing to try it for me. He even picks me up from work on rainy days and apany me to the amusement park just to ride a bicycle.¡± Mo Yan lowered her eyebrows and smiled as she recounted the silly things that Luo Tao had done with her. Mo Yan¡¯s happiness made Li Guoguo feel an indescribable feeling in her heart. ¡°Then, did your husband really go to prison?¡± Li Guoguo could not help but ask. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan¡¯s expression darkened. Although she did not ask Luo Tao about his past in detail, she knew this was true. Those memories might be Luo Tao¡¯s pain points. Since he was a very good person, there was probably a very good reason. ¡°Yes, he has been in prison before!¡± Mo Yan sighed, then, she said, ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m married to the current him. If he is willing to tell me about the past, then I will ept everything. If he doesn¡¯t want to mention it again, I won¡¯t ask too much.¡± ¡°Since I like him, I don¡¯t care about these things.¡± ¡°Mo Yan, you and your husband are so loving. You like him so much, and he only has you in his heart. I yearn for this kind of love!¡± Mo Yan touched Li Guoguo¡¯s head. ¡°That¡¯s why! You can only judge a person after interacting with them. You can¡¯t simply listen to others¡¯ words.¡± Chapter 100 Chapter 100 ¡°Yep, rumors are not credible.¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s obedient look made Mo Yan¡¯s heart soften again. The two of them walked and stopped. Themercial street was bustling with people. There were many shops with desserts and snacks on both sides. Smelling the fragrance of the fried skewers, the two of them lined up behind the crowd. Suddenly, Mo Yan¡¯s phone vibrated. She swiped open the screen and it was a notification for a transfer of 20,000 yuan. ¡°Luo Tao?¡± Li Guoguo was right beside Mo Yan. When she saw the name of the person who transferred the money, she couldn¡¯t help but read it out. Mo Yan didn¡¯t understand what had happened either. She hurriedly got Li Guoguo to line up. She walked to the side and called Luo Tao. ¡°Hello.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s steady voice entered her ears. They had just spoken, but Mo Yan was already missing him. ¡°Why did you suddenly transfer so much money to me?¡± She couldn¡¯t figure out where Luo Tao got the money. Didn¡¯t he just get the trantion job? ¡°My friend returned it. I thought you needed to spend money in the capital for the next few days, so I transferred it to you.¡± Luo Tao had thought of directly binding Mo Yan¡¯s card, but he was afraid of scaring Mo Yan. Moreover, it was only a transfer of money, so it was easy to find an excuse. Thinking of Luo Tao¡¯s first thought of her when his friend returned him his money, Mo Yan¡¯s heart warmed. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Thepany usually pays for business trips. You can keep the money! Don¡¯t give it all to me.¡± Mo Yan said gently to Luo Tao. ¡°Thepany will pay for the expenses of your work. You can¡¯t not buy things for yourself.¡± Mo Yan really had no intention of buying anything. Not to mention the money she owed Qin Yuan and Xu Wan, just the prices of things in Jing City alone were enough to scare her off. Luo Tao was also thinking about this, so he transferred the money to Mo Yan when he received a message from his subordinate saying that Mo Yan had gone to the business district. ¡°I don¡¯t need so much. I¡¯ll send it back to you!¡± Mo Yan said. ¡°I¡¯ll leave it with you. If you want to buy something, then buy it. If you don¡¯t want to buy it, then save it.¡± Luo Tao settled the matter with a tough attitude. Although Mo Yan was sighing on the surface, she was extremely touched. Returning to the queue, Li Guoguo asked who was the person who transferred the money to her. Mo Yan replied with a red face that it was her husband. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Eh? Mo Yan, why did your husband transfer so much money to you? Is it his sry?¡± ¡°No, he said that I needed money to buy things in the capital, so he transferred all the money that his friend returned to him.¡± Mo Yan said truthfully. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°That¡¯s so nice! Mo Yan, I¡¯m envious and jealous.¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s words were opposites, as if she was joking with Mo Yan. At this time, they had already reached the front of the fried skewer shop. Li Guoguo pulled on Mo Yan¡¯s sleeve and said coquettishly, ¡°Mo Yan, to make up for being blinded by your disy of affection, you have to treat me to this meal.¡± ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll treat you.¡± Mo Yan did not refuse. Although she had Mo Cheng as her younger brother, Mo Cheng rarely acted coquettishly with her. After all, boys were prideful. Li Guoguo, on the other hand, was different. She was more like a sister who relied on her older sister. The two of them strolled until the evening before they finally returned to the hotel. ¡­ Xu Tian took a nap in the hotel. After that, she no longer felt airsick and returned to her usual state. As soon as Mo Yan entered the room, she saw that she was busy with a pile of documents. Mo Yan did not make a sound and made a soft hand gesture to Li Guoguo. The two of them put the food they brought for Xu Tian aside. Mo Yan wanted to tidy up her toiletries, but she was stopped by Xu Tian. ¡°Mo Yan,e and take a look at this information.¡± Xu Tian adjusted the sses on the bridge of her nose. This information was about the approximate data they hadpiled about Lin Group¡¯s real estate project from the year beforest. There seemed to be some inuracies in it. Mo Yan took the information and looked at it carefully. This was the information that she had organized, so she still had some impression of it. ¡°Sister Xu, is there any problem with the file?¡± ¡°Here.¡± Xu Tian pointed at a number. ¡°I went online and checked it. ording to my calctions, this record should be 20% lower than the actual amount.¡± Xu Tian pushed up her gold-rimmed sses, and a cold glint shed across her eyes under the lenses. Mo Yan was shocked and quickly sat down at the table to check it carefully. A mistake in the data was a major dereliction of duty. If they were to make a n based on the wrong data, it would not only be a problem of not being selected, but it would also attract the ridicule of the people from otherpanies. It would even affect thepany¡¯s reputation because it was a rookie mistake. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan did as Xu Tian said and rechecked the information for ounting and cotion. As expected, the data was wrong. Moreover, during the investigation, Mo Yan also found another error in the records. The location on the records did not match the additional information at all. Li Guoguo walked out of the bathroom at this time. When she saw Mo Yan and Xu Tian¡¯s serious expressions, she could not help but be puzzled. ¡°Sister Xu, Mo Yan, what happened to you two?¡± Xu Tian looked at Li Guoguo sharply, while Mo Yan frowned and replied, ¡°Our information might have beenpromised.¡± Chapter 101 Chapter 101 ¡°What? Compromised?¡± Li Guoguo raised her voice and widened her eyes in shock. Xu Tian frowned slightly and didn¡¯t say anything. She silently agreed with Mo Yan. Mo Yan buried her head into the document again. They had spent almost a week sorting out the information of Lin Group¡¯s real estate project. The three of them had originally nned to sort out the data in C City and start working on the n when they went to Jing City. But now that the information was wrong, they needed to redo the statistics. Mo Yan was so angry that she grit her teeth. She could guess who had tampered with it. They were all part of Hong Jing. No matter who signed the contract, thepany would receive huge profits. Yet, Chen Ya wanted to ruin their shot of coborating with Lin Group. As Mo Yan flipped through the pages, Xu Tian¡¯s brows knitted tighter and tighter. Li Guoguo¡¯s expression changed from being in shock to being in fear. It was because Chen Ya¡¯s move was really ruthless. 90% of the information in these documents was still correct. The remaining 10% was full of hidden mistakes. The words were mostly misrepresentations or misleading errors, but the numbers were calcted and modified. That meant that without careful calction and verification, the abnormalities would not have been able to be discovered. . Mo Yan¡¯s heart grew colder and colder. These documents were basically useless now. Rather than sifting through them again and again to find any mistakes that they had not yet discovered, it was better to make a new copy. However, considering the time it would take for them to redo the statistics¡­ Would they be able toplete the n in time for the Lin Group meeting in ten days? ¡°Mo Yan, check if the previous document is backed up on yourptop.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Just as Mo Yan was calcting how much time they had, Xu Tian suddenly spoke. Mo Yan quickly took out herptop. As long as the previous document was backed up, even if the information was notplete, it could still save them some time. However¡­ ¡°It¡¯s not.¡± Mo Yan said these two words with a heavy heart. Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Guoguo also turned on herptop, and the result was the same. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Li Guoguo looked at the documents on the table helplessly, bit her lower lip and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we use these first? Every time we use the statistics inside, we will double check it first. This should be okay!¡± ¡°No,¡± Xu Tian said sternly without waiting for Mo Yan to speak. Mo Yan was startled by Xu Tian¡¯s voice. Although she agreed with Xu Tian, she didn¡¯t expect Xu Tian to have such a big reaction. ¡°Sister¡­ Sister Xu.¡± Li Guoguo was also quite frightened, and even her words were a little shaky. Xu Tian looked at Li Guoguo with a scrutinizing gaze. ¡°Even if we double check every time, what if there are mistakes that we don¡¯t notice? In the end, our n will fail. Who will take responsibility? You?¡± Li Guoguo was already afraid, so she cried out loud after being questioned so harshly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, sister Xu. I don¡¯t want to do this, but if we don¡¯t do this, we won¡¯t be able toplete the n!¡± Li Guoguo sobbed. Mo Yan nced at Li Guoguo, then turned to Xu Tian, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sister Xu. It¡¯s my fault. I didn¡¯t realize that someone was messing with our document.¡± She knew that Chen Ya had bad intentions, but she still overlooked it. Xu Tian turned her gaze to Mo Yan, and she gradually calmed down. ¡°It¡¯s not entirely your fault. The Deputy General Manager is despicable. I should have reminded you to be more careful. Let¡¯s discuss about what we can do now!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan patted Li Guoguo¡¯s head tofort her. After discussing, they finally decided that Xu Tian would stay alone in the hotel during the day to sort out the information. Mo Yan and Li Guoguo would go do their inspections. At night, the three of them would work together to restore the documents as soon as possible. As for why they had given the task of sorting out the documents to Xu Tian, Mo Yan had casually asked how Xu Tian had discovered that the documents had mistakes. Xu Tian¡¯s answer was that she had a very deep impression of the project. She felt that the numbers were off, so she went to double check them. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only It was also because of this sentence that Mo Yan suddenly remembered that Xu Tian¡¯s memory was really good. When she was checking the documents just now, there were a few pages where Xu Tian was able to quickly point out the mistakes, whereas Mo Yan was too flustered to notice them. After making a n, the three of them started working. It wasn¡¯t until dinner time that someone knocked on their door. They were here to invite everyone down for dinner. They had just arrived in Jing City and had yet to meet the other three who had arrived first. Everyone could get to know each other though eating dinner together. After tidying up their things, Mo Yan and the other two went out. Unfortunately, they ran into Chen Ya and her followers in the corridor. Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Mo Yan looked at Chen Ya coldly. Although she couldn¡¯t do anything to Chen Ya now, she would not forget what Chen Ya did. ¡°Good evening.¡± Chen Ya was the first to speak and walked to the opposite side of Mo Yan. She smiled at Li Guoguo whose eyes were red and swollen. Li Guoguo was frightened. She pulled Mo Yan¡¯s arm and hid behind Mo Yan. Mo Yan didn¡¯t want to waste her breath with her. She turned to Xu Tian and said, ¡°Sister Xu, let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xu Tian remained indifferent as if nothing had happened. When Mo Yan and the other two walked to the elevator, Chen Ya caught up with them again. The six people who entered the elevator stood on both sides of the elevator. ¡°How do you feel about this project?¡± Chen Ya said with a smile, as if they were not enemies but just ordinary colleagues chatting. Xu Tian frowned. Although she knew that Chen Ya was arrogant and domineering, she had never experienced it before because the two of them had not interacted much. Mo Yan did not even bother looking at Chen Ya. While looking at the elevator door, she said, ¡°Thanks to you, it¡¯s been very challenging.¡± As soon as these words were said, Chen Ya choked. Chen Ya chuckled and said, ¡°That¡¯s good. If it¡¯s not challenging, it won¡¯t be fun if you win.¡± Both of them had used the word ¡®challenging¡¯, but meant different things. Mo Yan was referring to Chen Ya ruining their documents, while Chen Ya was referring to Mo Yan being their stumbling block. The corners of Mo Yan¡¯s lips curled up, and battle intent rose in her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re right. After eliminating the traps set by the enemy, the fruits of victory will be sweeter.¡± As she said that, Mo Yan turned around and gave Chen Ya a mocking smile. ¡°Do you know what is the most exciting thing in this world?¡± Faced with Mo Yan¡¯s sudden question, Chen Ya cautiously did not answer, while Xu Tian was also thinking about the answer to the question. Mo Yan and Chen Ya looked at each other, and their smiles gradually dissipated. ¡°In this world, the most exciting thing is to take away what your enemy wants the most, and then watch them roar in anger and helplessness.¡± Xu Tian was impressed by Mo Yan¡¯s powerful words, and her hesitation about her from before instantly disappeared. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks And the elevator seemed to be responding to Mo Yan. As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator rang, and the door opened. The lights in the lobby dazzled. When theynded on Mo Yan, she seemed to have be the focus of everyone¡¯s attention. Mo Yan walked out of the elevator first. Xu Tian and Li Guoguo followed her, leaving Chen Ya and the other two behind. ¡­ Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. There were a total of ten people having dinner in one of the hotel¡¯s private dining room tonight, and six of the seats were taken up by the sales department alone. This showed how important the sales n was topete for the Lin Group project. Only after some time after Mo Yan arrived did Chen Ya finally arrive. She looked at her two teammates, not knowing what had happened. Actually, it was a funny story. Chen Ya was quite startled by Mo Yan earlier and actually took the elevator down to the next floor, which was why she arrived muchter than Mo Yan and the others. The first to arrive was a group of three men and one woman, who were from different departments of the company. They had never interacted with Chen Ya and Mo Yan, so naturally, they did not know about their differences. The four of them first gave them the information that the sales department needed, and then began to introduce themselves. Xu Tian skimmed through the information a few times and confirmed that there was no problem. Xu Tian had also confirmed with CEO Song earlier that they were not under the Deputy General Manager. Throughout the meal, Mo Yan felt that it was rather nd. It was not that the food was bad, but rather because she was eating with someone like Chen Ya. Chen Ya kept talking about work. One moment she was talking about how hard it was to organize the information, the next she was talking about how they could cooperate. After all, whoever signed the contract would be giving thepany profits. It was pretty awkward. Mo Yan did not bother to cut in, neither did her teammates nor the other group. Perhaps they also felt that the atmosphere was tensed, so the four of them did not speak at all during the second half of the meal. The entire room was full of Chen Ya talking non-stop, and her twockeys supporting her. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only When they returned to their room, two simr sighs sounded. Xu Tian looked at the two of them and could not help but chuckle. Meanwhile, Mo Yan was stunned by Xu Tian¡¯s smile. When Li Guoguo raised her head, it was already toote. She missed Xu Tian¡¯s smile. All she saw was Mo Yan staring nkly at something. Chapter 103 Chapter 103 The three of them busied themselves until nine or ten o¡¯clock before they were ready to go to bed. Li Guoguo first went into the bathroom to wash up, leaving Xu Tian and Mo Yan behind. Mo Yan crossed her arms and halfy on the table to look at Xu Tian¡¯s side profile. ¡°Sister Xu, you look so pretty when you smile. Why don¡¯t you like to smile?¡± Ever since Mo Yan first saw Xu Tian in the bathroom, Xu Tian had never changed her style. She always wore gold-rimmed sses, wore her hair in a long ponytail, and wore a professional suit. She never smiled. Xu Tian nced at Mo Yan without saying a word. She continued with her work. She was dead-set on avenging herself for the humiliation she sufferedst time. She was going to humiliate the Deputy General Manager like how he humiliated her. Seeing that Xu Tian was ignoring her, Mo Yan stuck out her tongue and checked her phone to see if there were any new messages. There was a message from Xu Wan asking why she had suddenly returned the money? Did she still have money on her hands? If not, she would rather get paid backter. Mo Yan thought about it and replied with a smiley face, adding that it was Luo Tao who had given her the money. [Luo Tao actually gave you money!!!] Xu Wan replied very quickly. Three exmation marks in a row showed how shocked she was. [Yes! Luo Tao said that his friend returned the money that he had borrowed from him, so he transferred the money to me. He said that it was for me to buy things in Jing City.] Xu Wan quickly sent a shocked emoji followed by a sentence. [He has friends? How much money did he send you? ] Mo Yan was unhappy when she saw this. Why was it shocking that Luo Tao had friends? She replied with an angry emoji. Mo Yan continued, ¡°He sent me 20,000 yuan. His friend must have returned all the money he had back to him.¡± Xu Wan didn¡¯t reply for a long time. After a while, Mo Yan¡¯s phone vibrated. ¡°Tsk, I didn¡¯t expect Luo Tao to miss you so much.¡± ¡°Of course, he¡¯s my husband.¡± [So what if you have a husband? I¡¯ll have one in the future too. I¡¯ll get him to transfer money to me and buy things for me.] [Get a husband before saying so much!] Mo Yan kept undermining Xu Wan, so Xu Wan sent a bunch of angry expressions every time she replied. Finally, Xu Wan ended their conversation with one sentence. [Alright! Enjoy your shopping trip in Jing City!] ¡°What shopping trip? I¡¯m here to work!¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Xu Wan didn¡¯t reply after that. It seemed that she was done with Mo Yan for the night. After Li Guoguo washed up, Mo Yan let Xu Tian go wash up next. She was thest one to go. As she swiped her phone screen, Mo Yan¡¯s gaze stopped at the message of Luo Tao transferring money to her. She thought of the question from before again. How long was she going to lie to Luo Tao? ¡°Mo Yan, what are you looking at?¡± Li Guoguo walked to Mo Yan¡¯s side and asked. Mo Yan did not avoid the question and showed her the screen. ¡°Why do you make me pity myself so much right before bed?¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s statement made Mo Yanugh. She patted her head and said, ¡°Go to bed quickly. We have to get up early to work tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay! Sigh, I hope I¡¯ll dream of my Prince Charming tonight.¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Li Guoguoy on the bed and soon began to snore. The bathroom door opened and closed, and Xu Tian walked out as well. This was the first time Mo Yan saw Xu Tian with her long hair down. She was not wearing sses, nor was she wearing a set of old-fashioned clothes. Xu Tian¡¯s sweet beauty amazed even a girl like her. Mo Yan had always found Xu Tian beautiful, but she did not expect Xu Tian to actually be much more beautiful that she had thought. ¡°Sister¡­ Sister Xu?¡± Mo Yan stuttered. Xu Tian turned her head and looked at her in confusion. ¡°Sister Xu, you are really pretty.¡± Mo Yan could tell that Xu Tian was annoyed when she heard her words. She looked like she wanted to roll her eyes. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. ¡°Go wash up.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Xu Tian¡¯s voice was very cold. Mo Yan quickly went into the bathroom. ¡­ The sudden silence made Mo Yan feel a little ufortable. She nced at her phone, the screen was still on the page where she and Luo Tao were chatting. Suddenly, Mo Yan really wanted nothing but to hear his voice. Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Mo Yan tapped on Luo Tao¡¯s contact number and hesitated whether she should call him. Suddenly, she received a message from Luo Tao. [Are you asleep?] [Not yet.] Mo Yan typed two words in surprise. [Are you free to call me?] This time, Mo Yan did not reply to him. Instead, she called him. ¡°Hello?¡± The man¡¯s deep voice made Mo Yan¡¯s heart palpitate. ¡°Luo Tao, why aren¡¯t you asleep? It¡¯s almost 12 o¡¯clock.¡± Although she was d that Luo Tao texted her right when she wanted to call him, Mo Yan still nagged at him. Luo Tao leaned against the railing of the balcony and nced at the few people who were still drinking in the vi. He said to Mo Yan, ¡°I¡¯m thinking of you. I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Luo Tao didn¡¯t want to go out tonight, but Qin Yuan and the others decided to crash his house. Luo Tao had no choice but to follow them out. As for why Qin Yuan was in Jing City? Thinking of this, Luo Tao could only sneer. The reason he gave him was that his father said that in celebration of the resurrection of the young master of the Huo family, they would hold a wee back party. Please! Did he think he would believe him? It was obvious that he came back to party in Jing City. However, it¡¯s not all bad with Qin Yuan here. It would be easier for him to get Qin Yuan to do stuff. Qin Yuan did not know of Huo Zhen¡¯s ns for him. He was busy trying to persuade the people around him to drink. Suddenly, he shouted at the balcony, ¡°Huo Zhen, what are you doing? Hurry back and drink some more wine.¡± ¡°What¡¯s that sound from your end?¡± Mo Yan seemed to have heard something. ¡°I¡¯m calling you from the balcony. There are drunk people acting crazy downstairs.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s ability to lie was getting better and better. Those who did not know the truth would think that what he said was true. All text ?

His breathing slowly be heavier. ¡°Taking a bath?¡± This time, Mo Yan did not answer. She was too shy. Luo Tao did not speak for a long time, as if he was trying hard to calm his emotions. Listening to his gradually calming breathing, Mo Yan¡¯s ears itched. ¡°I miss you. Do you miss me?¡± Mo Yan wanted to reply him directly when she heard Luo Tao¡¯s question, but she also wanted to tease him. ¡°I just left, and you miss me already! If I have to go on business trips more frequently in the future, what are you going to do?¡± This question seemed to have really stumped Luo Tao. After a while, he said, ¡°I can¡¯t think of anything.¡± Mo Yanughed out loud at his teasing. Luo Tao¡¯s expression became gentler as he listened to her voice. The problem Mo Yan mentioned was not difficult to solve. In the future, if she had to go on business trips, he would apany her. If she felt that her work was too tiring, then the two of them would travel around the world and y around. As long as she was by his side, it would be fine. ¡°How about this? In the future, I will bring you everywhere and put you in my pocket. You will follow me every step I take.¡± The more Mo Yan teased Luo Tao, the more she smiled. The annoyance that she had suppressed in her heart seemed to have disappeared quite a bit. ¡°Okay, bring me with you wherever you go.¡± Luo Tao looked at the night sky. He could almost imagine Mo Yan¡¯s facial expression with every word that Mo Yan said. Luo Tao waited until Mo Yan finishedughing before he brought up the matter that he wanted to ask about. ¡°How do you feel about Lin Group¡¯s project? Is it very difficult to n for?¡± Luo Tao was too busy to meet with the Lin family today. From what his subordinates had told him, it seemed that Lin Group had another motive for finding people to cooperate with. He was afraid of the implications it would have on Mo Yan. Mo Yan¡¯s smile instantly froze. However, in order to not make Luo Tao worry, she still tried her best to say calmly, ¡°It¡¯s alright. After the field inspection, we can start on the n.¡± No matter how Mo Yan tried to cover up her feelings, she still couldn¡¯t deceive Luo Tao who knew her mannerisms very well. ¡°Did something happen?¡± Luo Tao asked.

This was so she could calmly organize the information, win arguments with Chen Ya, tease Xu Wan, and praise Xu Tian¡¯s appearance. However, when someone poked on Mo Yan¡¯s pretense of being strong, the self-me and grievance that were buried deep in her heart would gush out like a flood, and she would no longer be able to stay rational. Luo Tao did not force her. When she wanted to tell him, he would be a listener. Chapter 105 Chapter 105 After a while, Mo Yan could no longer hold back her tears. She sobbed, ¡°I don¡¯t understand why people are so bad.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Tell me what happened.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s expression was cold, but his voice was very gentle. Listening to his voice, Mo Yan¡¯s tears became more and more uncontroble. ¡°Our information waspromised.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was very soft, so Luo Tao couldn¡¯t hear her clearly. After thinking carefully, he finally understood what Mo Yan had said. ¡°Chen Ya?¡± ¡°Yes, her. If Sister Xu hadn¡¯t paid attention when she was looking through the documents, it¡¯s very likely that we wouldn¡¯t have found out that the information was wrong even after we finished the n.¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t exin in detail, but Luo Tao instantly guessed what they had encountered. His fingertips knocked on the stone b on the handrail. Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as he thought about Mo Yan¡¯s words. He had a feeling that this time, it wasn¡¯t Chen Ya, but the Deputy General Manager of Hong Jing who had ruined their documents. ¡°Tell me, why does Chen Ya always target me? I never agreed to Zhou Shuai¡¯s pursuit, nor did i provoke him, but Chen Ya just grabbed onto me and refused to let go! How is she so horrible! She¡¯s so annoying!¡± Mo Yan cried as she spoke, sobbing every time she spoke. She even huped when she said thest two sentences. Mo Yan was too angry that she didn¡¯t even notice. ¡°Chen Ya is such a horrible person! Hup! She can¡¯t even control her own man! Hup! Shameless! If Sister Xu didn¡¯t find out, it would have been my fault that our n failed! Hup! I really want to beat her to death!¡± Luo Tao¡¯s expression unconsciously softened and he smiled slightly.

Tell me, how can she be so horrible!¡± ¡°Yes, she¡¯s horrible. You¡¯re okay, don¡¯t cry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m angry! I¡¯ve been wronged! Chen Ya is sick! Is her brain filled with straw? Instead of working hard at her job, she puts in all her effort to bully me! What does she gain from all this? Is she going to fly into the sky?¡± As she scolded, Mo Yan didn¡¯t even hup anymore. Her voice was raised a few degrees. Luo Tao held back hisughter. He coughed lightly and agreed, ¡°Yes, maybe she really wants to fly into the sky.¡± ¡°Hmph! Seems like this 9.6 million square kilometers ofnd isn¡¯t even enough for her! A little toad with eyes above her head.

You¡¯re not even on the same side as me.¡± Luo Tao¡¯sughter made Mo Yan unhappy. She quickly muttered and asked him to scold her as well. However, this simple request stumped Luo Tao. He had been taught to be tactful since he was young. He had never gossiped before. After thinking for two seconds, Luo Tao decisively chose to divert Mo Yan¡¯s attention. ¡°Be good. Being angry before bed is harmful to your body. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± In fact, after scolding for a long time, Mo Yan¡¯s anger had already dissipated a lot. After ranting to someone, Mo Yan felt that the mountain on her body had been lifted. Looking at her phone, she was slightly lost in thought. This was the first time she felt so rxed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you sleepy?¡± Seeing that Mo Yan had not answered for a long time, Luo Tao was a little nervous. He thought that Mo Yan was angry because he had changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯m not sleepy. I¡¯m just wondering if you think I rant too much.¡± Unknowingly, Luo Tao had be her reliance and she was willing to talk to him about anything. But what about Luo Tao? Was he willing to listen to her talk about things like this? Luo Tao did not understand why Mo Yan would say this, but he still said truthfully, ¡°I¡¯m very happy that you¡¯re willing to share everything with me.¡± His voice was like a gurgling stream, soothing Mo Yan¡¯s sensitive and fragile nerves. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan softly called his name. ¡°Hmm.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

It might have used up all my luck in my life.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s every word was very gentle, causing Luo Tao¡¯s heart to tremble. Minutes after they hung up their call, the man still hadn¡¯t recovered from his shock. Chapter 106 Chapter 106 On the second day in Jing City, Mo Yan and Li Guoguo started to get busy. ording to their n, Mo Yan and Li Guoguo left the hotel at around seven o¡¯clock. They thought that it was a good idea to leave at that time, but¡­ ¡°Mo Yan, how long will the traffic jamst?¡± Li Guoguo said to Mo Yan with a mournful face. Mo Yan was also quite dumbfounded. Seeing that the meter was beating non-stop, she could feel her heart bleeding. ¡°Guoguo, from what I remember, taxi fees during our business trip should be reimbursed!¡± Although Mo Yan remembered that there was such a rule, if the taxi fare was too high, thepany might think that she was lying about it! ncing at the meter, Li Guoguo said hesitantly, ¡°It must be reimbursed!¡± After waiting for a while, the car was finally able to move. Mo Yan asked the driver to drop them off at the nearest bus stop, and the two of them took the bus to their destination. The location of Lin Group¡¯s real estate project was rather remote, so the two of them still needed to walk a bit more after getting off the bus. They heard that it was because of the good feng shui here that Lin Group decided to develop a mid-to high-end vi area here. It was already close to 10 o¡¯clock when the two of them started working. In the Huo Group building located in the most prosperous area of Jing City, Luo Tao was sitting behind his desk listening to his subordinates¡¯ reports. During the few months that he had been away, although he had given instructions to his subordinates remotely, there were still some things that he needed to personally deal with. ¡°Fourth Master, before you left, Second Master had wanted to interfere with the Board of Directors¡¯ elections and the bidding for new projects.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Tao gently rubbed his temples and responded. After his call with Mo Yanst night, Luo Tao had drunk quite a lot with the bunch of them. They did not care about their image as heirs. First, it was beer, then red wine, and finally white wine. Even Luo Tao, who thought that he would never get drunk, could not take it anymore. As for Qin Yuan, he was a chatterbox. When he was drunk, he would tell everyone everything. He even asked Luo Tao how it felt to have a wife. It would be a good time for Luo Tao to talk to Uncle Qin about finding Qin Yuan a wife. ¡°Huo Zhen! What did I do to offend you? Why did you call me here in the morning. My head hurts!¡± The person who spoke was none other than Qin Yuan, whom Luo Tao had been thinking about. Hey on the sofa in Luo Tao¡¯s office, half-dead and wailing. Luo Tao ignored him and continued to let his subordinates report. ¡°There¡¯s no news from third uncle?¡± ¡°No.¡± Just as he replied, his subordinate seemed to have thought of something that he had missed out on. ¡°One month after your ident, Third Master and Old Master had a private conversation. No one knows the details of what they talked about.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Okay.¡± Before Luo Tao could say anything, Qin Yuan interrupted. ¡°Private conversation? What? Huo Zhen, is your third uncle trying to stir up trouble again?¡± As he spoke, Qin Yuan sauntered over to Luo Tao¡¯s desk. He drank the coffee in front of Luo Tao in one gulp and continued, ¡°If it were up to me, your third uncle would be in trouble.¡± Seeing that Qin Yuan was chattering non-stop, his subordinates looked at Luo Tao. Luo Tao frowned and asked his men to leave. ¡°How much did you drinkst night?¡± Luo Tao asked casually. He did not expect Qin Yuan to actually recall it in detail. ¡°11 or 12 bottles of beer, red¡­ I can¡¯t remember. White¡­ I can¡¯t remember either.¡± Luo Tao held his forehead. He now felt that Qin Yuan was even more unreliable. ¡°How¡¯s the task I gave you going?¡± Luo Tao asked. Although he wanted to let Mo Yan learn how to handle her problem alone, he could still help her with small things. Qin Yuan used his slow brain to think. ¡°Oh! Are you talking about those stupid women, Mo Lian?¡± ¡°They¡¯ve been dealt with. The video evidence is sufficient. They¡¯ll be locked up for a few days and have to write a self-reflection. After they¡¯re released, they¡¯ll apologize to sister-inw one by one. Is that alright?¡± Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Although it was a question, Qin Yuan felt that it was enough. However, Luo Tao still felt that it was not enough. Every time he thought of Mo Yan¡¯s crying face that day, his heart would ache. Luo Tao nced at Qin Yuan indifferently and did not continue talking about this topic. ¡°Help me investigate the Deputy General Manager of Hong Jing.¡± ¡°Investigate him? What did he do to your mistress?¡± Qin Yuan asked improperly. Apany of Hong Jing¡¯s scale was really not worthy of Luo Tao¡¯s attention. Therefore, every time Luo Tao brought up Hong Jing, it would be rted to Mo Yan. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, he saw Luo Tao¡¯s cold gaze. His eyes were cold. ¡°Eh, my bad. Hehe, I mean sister-inw.¡± After hearing Qin Yuan¡¯s change of words, Luo Tao retracted his gaze. However, it was also because of these drunken words that Luo Tao suddenly realized that for someone of Huo Zhen¡¯s status, Mo Yan¡¯s current situation was still a little tricky. ¡°The data that Mo Yan brought to Jing City was ruined by someone else. I think it was the Deputy General Manager of Hong Jing who did it.¡± Chapter 107 Chapter 107 ¡°Compromise sister-inw¡¯s information? The Deputy General Manager is really too much. Tsk, no wonder Hong Jing¡¯s hasn¡¯t been developing well. It¡¯s all because of him.¡± ¡°Seeing how he¡¯s able to do something like this to Mo Yan, this is probably not his first time. Check on it.¡± ¡°Okay, sure.¡± Qin Yuan agreed readily. It was quite easy for him to investigate the happenings in C City. ¡°What is sister-inw going to do now? Redo the document? I don¡¯t think ten days is enough!¡± Qin Yuan asked casually. Then, he thought of an idea. ¡°How about we step in? And get her some more?¡± Luo Tao was speechless. Perhaps Qin Yuan was still drunk. ¡°I believe she can handle this herself. If she really can¡¯t¡­¡± Luo Tao chuckled. ¡°The Huo family still has a lot of real estate projects.¡± Honestly, Luo Tao didn¡¯t really want Mo Yan to have anything to do with the Lin family. If Mo Yan were to fail this time, it wouldn¡¯t be entirely a bad thing. ¡°Huo Zhen, are you prepared to pave the way for sister-inw¡¯s future?¡± Qin Yuan asked with narrowed eyes. Luo Tao did not answer and continued to pick up the documents in his hands. The reason he called Qin Yuan over today was just to teach him a lesson for talking nonsensest night. He didn¡¯t actually need his help that badly. ¡°Okay, now that sister-inw¡¯s matter is pretty much settled. I just want to ask, what are you going to do about your third uncle? Didn¡¯t Wen Ze find out that he was the one who caused your ident?¡± Upon hearing Qin Yuan mention this matter, Luo Tao¡¯s expression gradually turned cold, and a chill appeared in his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t think he did it alone.¡± ¡°Who are you suspecting? Your second uncle? Fourth uncle? Or fifth uncle?¡± Speaking of which, the Huo family was very big. Old Master Huo had married a total of three wives, who all had already passed away. Huo Kang, Huo Zhen¡¯s father, was the only son of Old Master Huo¡¯s first wife. Huo Zhen¡¯s second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, and fifth uncle were Old Master Huo¡¯s children with his second and third wife. Huo Zhen¡¯s fourth uncle and fifth uncle were twins, and they were not much older than Huo Zhen. Logically speaking, it¡¯s notmon to have twins, so Old Master Huo should have liked them very much. However, for some reason, the two were sent abroad from a young age to be taken care of by a nanny. Old Master Huo loved Huo Kang the most. After Huo Kang died, Old Master Huo loved Huo Zhen in his ce. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°I¡¯m not sure.¡± Luo Tao frowned even more. Although he had said that, he actually did suspect his fourth uncle and fifth uncle who were living abroad as he found out that there was a foreign influence involved in his ident. ¡°You and sister-inw are a really good match. Both of you have so much drama in your lives. If the two of you really stay together, your days should be quite interesting.¡± Luo Tao realized that what Qin Yuan said was true. He was targetted by his family members while Mo Yan was targetted by outsiders. ¡°Oh right, has the Huo family set a date for your weing banquet? Du Jing and the others asked about itst night! I heard from Du Jing that Feng Yu from the Feng family has been moring to return from Germany the past few days.¡± As soon as Qin Yuan said this, Luo Tao¡¯s expression instantly changed. This was the first time Qin Yuan had seen Luo Tao¡¯s expression change so fast. Luo Tao dialed a number. ¡°Stop Feng Yu for me. Don¡¯t let her return to the country. Dy her for as long as you can.¡± ¡°Yes, Fourth Master.¡± Feng Yu was someone whom Luo Tao wanted to stay away from. Although Feng Yu was good-looking, had a good family, and had the potential to be loved by everyone, because of her strange behavior, Luo Tao, Qin Yuan, and Du Jing were all shunned. ¡°Hahahaha, Huo Zhen, I can¡¯t believe you did that.¡± Just as Luo Tao hung up the phone, he heard Qin Yuan burst intoughter, apanied by ridicule. Luo Tao looked at the person opposite him with a sinister look, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. ¡°Qin Yuan, weren¡¯t you curious about what it feels like to have a wifest night? I think you and Feng Yu would be a good match. How about I talk to your dad about arranging your marriage with her so that you can experience what it feels like to have a wife?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Fuck! Huo Zhen, you¡¯re too mean! Your rtionship with your wife is very sweet. If I were to marry Feng Yu, I would have to spend my days running away from her.¡± Qin Yuan was afraid that his dad would listen to Luo Tao. ¡°Then be careful about what you say in the future.¡± Qin Yuan suddenly understood after hearing what Luo Tao said. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Huo Zhen must have been upset about how he told everyone about his wife¡¯s existence yesterday. Sigh, wasn¡¯t everyone drunkst night? No one was listening. Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Mo Yan and Li Guoguo had spent three days at the site to gather all the necessary information, and Xu Tian had also made some progress. Xu Tian held back her anger. She vowed to sign this contract, so when she redid the document, she was exceptionally careful and even found more information that they didn¡¯t put in their previous document. On the morning of the fourth day, when Mo Yan got up, Xu Tian suddenly handed her something. Mo Yan opened it and saw that it was an invitation letter for Lin Group¡¯s banquet. Without waiting for Mo Yan to speak, Xu Tian exined, ¡°It¡¯s from CEO Song, but I think you are more suitable than me to go.¡± ¡°Banquet?¡± Mo Yan was puzzled. What was the purpose of this banquet? ¡°Tonight is Lin Group¡¯s anniversary banquet,¡± Xu Tian said. Mo Yan thought for a moment and said, ¡°Only one invitation letter? Since CEO Song gave you the invitation letter, she probably thinks that you are more suitable to go.¡± For a bigpany like Lin Group, only people with a certain status could get an invitation. If they were lucky enough to earn the favor of a big shot, their career path would be paved. This was also the reason why many small celebrities rack their brains trying to get into banquets like this. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Xu Tian shook her head. ¡°From what I¡¯ve seen, I¡¯m very sure that you are more suitable to go.¡± Seeing Xu Tian praising her, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but smile. However, Mo Yan was still conflicted. Xu Tian was more experienced than her and had seen more of the market. She would definitely be able to collect more information if she were to attend Lin Group¡¯s anniversary banquet. This was also the reason why CEO Song wanted Xu Tian to go. What really happened was that Song Yun had assumed that Qin Yuan would give Mo Yan an invitation. That was the reason why she only gave Xu Tian an invitation. As for Li Guoguo, Song Yun did not bother. ¡°Sister Xu, you have a good memory and you are more experienced. I think it¡¯s better if you go. Sigh! If only there were two more, then the three of us can go together.¡± Xu Tian saw that Mo Yan insisted, so she didn¡¯t say anything more. During breakfast, Mo Yan asked Xu Tian if she wanted to go look for an evening gown after they were done. If they waited until the afternoon to prepare, Xu Tian might not be able to make it in time. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Li Guoguo asked curiously at the side about the evening gown. Mo Yan replied that Lin Group would be holding an anniversary party tonight, and sister Xu would be attending, so she had to get an evening gown. ¡°Wow! An anniversary party! I haven¡¯t been to one before! I¡¯m so envious! Sister Xu is going to look so pretty!¡± Li Guoguo eximed exaggeratedly, which made Mo Yanugh. Xu Tian, who was sitting across from Li Guoguo and had been paying attention to her, did not ignore the sh of jealousy in her eyes.. ¡°Although we can¡¯t go this time, there will be opportunities in the future!¡± Mo Yan stroked Li Guoguo¡¯s head and said with a smile. When Mo Yan and Li Guoguo went shopping on the first day, they saw a lot of makeup studios. These makeup stores all had coborations with clothing stores. Just as Mo Yan had expected, after the three of them expressed their needs, the shop assistant brought them to the fitting area. Because they were going to attend a banquet, they looked at high-end brands. The rental prices were ridiculously expensive. Fortunately, Sister Xu said that CEO Song had given them sufficient funds, which made Mo Yan feel at ease. Taking advantage of this opportunity to try on clothes, Mo Yan and Li Guoguo also tried on two sets of evening gowns. The fabrics were soft and light, and the simple yet elegant designs entuated their beautiful figures. ¡°Mo Yan, why do I feel so awkward wearing an evening gown?¡± Mo Yan and Xu Tian turned their gazes to her at the same time. Xu Tian looked elegant in a dark blue fishtail evening gown, while Mo Yan¡¯s light pink strapless evening gown made her look lively, but Li Guoguo¡­ ¡°Guoguo looks like a child who has stolen an adult¡¯s clothes.¡± Mo Yan covered herughter and teased Li Guoguo, who looked depressed. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Li Guoguo was not as pretty as Mo Yan and Xu Tian, and would often be overlooked. Moreover, Li Guoguo¡¯s body shape did not suit fishtail gowns, which made her look awkward. ¡°Mo Yan, stopughing! Come and help me find a better dress¡± Mo Yan looked at her and picked out a slightly cute dress for Li Guoguo. It was a minty green dress with a knee-high hem. The sleeve covered a little bit of the fat on Li Guoguo¡¯s arms. Although Li Guoguo was not tall, her legs were very beautiful. This short dress allowed her beautiful legs to be seen and unted. Chapter 109 Chapter 109 Li Guoguo spun around in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. ¡°That¡¯s more like it! I was really depressed just now.¡± Holding Mo Yan¡¯s hand, Li Guoguo said, ¡°Although sister Xu is the only one going to the banquet, we can still make ourselves look beautiful! Right, Mo Yan?¡± While Li Guoguo was talking, Mo Yan seemed to hear a familiar voice outside the door. ¡°Sister Ya, can we go with you tonight?¡± This voice¡­ Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Of course you guys cane. If that little bitch Mo Yan cane, of course you guys cane too.¡± Hearing that, Mo Yan knew that it was Chen Ya for sure. She wondered what sins she hadmitted in her previous life to deserve bumping into Chen Ya wherever she went. ¡°Sister Ya, how do you know that Mo Yan will be there? They got three invitations too? That¡¯s impossible! Aren¡¯t invitations very difficult to get?¡± ¡°Of course not, the Lin family only invited thepany¡¯s leader for this banquet. Since CEO Song is not able to attend, of course she got someone to go in her ce. It¡¯s obviously not the Li girl, and Xu Tian would look too out of ce. Only the little slut is left.¡± The words ¡°Little slut¡± made Mo Yan¡¯s fists itch. ¡°Excuse me, it¡¯s me. The one who would look out of ce.¡± Before Mo Yan could speak, Xu Tian was the first to open the door. Xu Tian¡¯s long hair draped over her shoulders. She wore a dark blue fishtail evening gown that made her look like a queen. Her beautiful eyes, which were revealed because she did not wear her sses, were staring coldly at the three people opposite her. The three of them were first shocked by Xu Tian¡¯s voice, and then they were shocked by her aura, which was different from before. ¡°Xu¡­ Tian?¡± Chen Ya called out uncertainly. Xu Tian did not answer, but continued to stare at them. ¡°What exactly did I do wrong in my past life? Why do I keep bumping into you?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan said as she poked her head out from behind Xu Tian. The moment she saw Mo Yan, Chen Ya¡¯s expression turned ugly. ¡°Why are you here too? What bad luck.¡± When she first heard and saw Xu Tian, she assumed that Xu Tian was the only one who came to find an evening gown for the banquet. She didn¡¯t expect Mo Yan to be here too. ¡°Yeah! What bad luck I have to bump into you. I¡¯m not even in the mood to try on beautiful clothes anymore.¡± Mo Yan continued to smile and retorted back at Chen Ya mercilessly. Ever since she ranted about Chen Ya to Luo Tao that night, Mo Yan felt like she had unleashed something deep within her. She loved scolding Chen Ya any chance she got, and after scolding her, she would be in an extremely good mood. Chen Ya¡¯s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. ¡°So Xu Tian is the one going to the banquet tonight? Not you?¡± ¡°Yes! Are you very disappointed? You¡¯re right to be disappointed. To be able to see you like this, I wouldn¡¯t go even if I could.¡± Mo Yan continued on sarcastically. Her current pleasure was to anger and scold Chen Ya. She was waiting for the day when Chen Ya would be angered to death by her. Chen Ya looked at Mo Yan¡¯s arrogant face and a fire rushed from her lungs to her head. She wanted to p Mo Yan again. ¡°ording to Article 43 of the ¡®Public Security Administration Penalties Law,¡¯ whoever beats or intentionally injures another person shall be detained for five to ten days, and shall also be fined two hundred yuan to five hundred yuan; if the circumstances are minor, he or she shall be detained for five days or fined five hundred yuan; if he or she gangs up to beat or injure another person, beat or injure a disabled person, a pregnant woman, a person under the age of fourteen, or a person over the age of sixty, he or she shall be detained for ten to fifteen days, and fined for five hundred yuan to one thousand yuan.¡± ¡°Are you sure you want to get violent?¡± Xu Tian pushed up her sses. When she put her hand on her nose, she realized that she wasn¡¯t wearing them. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yanughed out loud. Li Guoguo followed behind the two of them and covered her mouth tightly. She didn¡¯t want to make a sound like Mo Yan. ¡°You!¡± ¡°Are you going to scold me again? It¡¯s illegal to insult others in public. Isn¡¯t that right, sister Xu?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Xu Tian replied coldly, full of charisma. Chen Ya¡¯s face turned ashen. If it weren¡¯t for Xu Tian, who could recitews from memory, Chen Ya would probably have already pounced on Mo Yan and beat her up. Chapter 110 Chapter 110 ¡°Sister Ya, let¡¯s just go. They¡¯re not worth our time and energy. Let¡¯s hurry up and try on the clothes!¡± A girl with slightly curly short hair said to Chen Ya. Chen Ya shook off her hand and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. She stood in front of Mo Yan and asked, ¡°Are you really not the one going tonight?¡± Mo Yan rolled her eyes. ¡°Why would I lie to you? Do you think I¡¯ve nothing better to do?¡± In thepany, Mo Yan would more or less restrain herself, but since she was on a business trip, she didn¡¯t hold back at all. In any case, the two of them had already shed all pretense of cordiality, so she didn¡¯t mind angering Chen Ya further. In the end, Chen Ya was dragged away by her two followers. When they dragged her away, Chen Ya¡¯s tightly clenched fists made Mo Yan raise her eyebrows. It was so scary! Please! Hmph! Mo Yan snorted arrogantly, like a little fox that had won a war and was showing off everywhere. ¡°Sister Xu, Mo Yan, you guys are too amazing. Every time I see you guys fighting against her, I get scared. I¡¯m just afraid that she will make things difficult for us back at thepany.¡± Li Guoguo looked at the two of them with sparkling eyes. Mo Yan pinched Li Guoguo¡¯s little face, she said earnestly, ¡°If we don¡¯t fight back, will she not make things difficult for us? That¡¯s not going to happen! So, in order to make ourselves feel better, we must fight back when we can. Haven¡¯t you heard of an old saying?¡± ¡°Which?¡± Li Guoguo asked cooperatively. Mo Yan smiled kindly. ¡°That is, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. The more I take a step back, the more I feel guilty.¡± Cough! Xu Tian choked on the coffee that she was drinking. She wiped her mouth with a tissue. ¡­ On the second floor of the makeup studio, a burst ofughter suddenly sounded in the room. ¡°Pfft hahahahahaha, sister-inw is amazing! The more I think about it, the angrier I get. The more I take a step back, the more I feel guilty. Yes! Hahahaha, she¡¯s right!¡± Luo Tao nced at the tea that Qin Yuan spat on the floor with disgust, then looked up at the door, his gaze bing gentler and gentler. ¡°Hahahahaha, sister-inw is so interesting. No wonder you fell in love with her.¡± Qin Yuan copsed on the sofaughing. He had wanted tough ever since Mo Yan started to talk back to Chen Ya. Now that he closed the door, he could finallyugh out loud. ¡°That¡¯s enough,¡± Luo Tao said calmly. ¡°Not yet. How long has it been since I¡¯ve seen someone as straightforward as sister-inw criticize others?¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Qin Yuan continued tough non-stop. ¡°Have I not criticized you enough?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not the same. The feeling of being criticized and watching others being criticized arepletely different, okay?¡± Luo Tao nced at Qin Yuan and was speechless. This makeup studio was owned by Du Jing¡¯s mother. Du Jing had arranged for the two of them to discuss some matters here. Yet, Du Jing was no where to be found. The reason why Luo Tao wanted to meet Du Jing was to ask about Feng Yu, who was his cousin. When Qin Yuan was doneughing, he said to Luo Tao, ¡°Sister-inw is so charismatic, why are you afraid of Feng Yu?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid, I¡¯m annoyed.¡± Luo Tao wanted to frown when he thought of Feng Yu¡¯s previous farce. ¡°Haha, don¡¯t you think Feng Yu had a crush on you when she was young? She was pestering you even after she grew up. She even asked her family to let her get engaged to you.¡± Luo Tao coldly nced at Qin Yuan, who was gloating. ¡°Are you still in contact with your cousin?¡± As soon as he said this, Qin Yuan immediately stopped smiling and was speechless. How many years ago was it? He had forgotten the exact time. Anyway, there was once when one of his distant uncles came to visit with his son. He was not close to anyone and would only talk to Qin Yuan, whom he thought was very nice. His cousin hade to Jing City with his family during his university¡¯s summer vacation. He also brought his girlfriend along to have some fun. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Qin Yuan had nothing better to do, so he followed along. When his cousin went to buy milk tea for his girlfriend, while Qin Yuan and his cousin¡¯s girlfriend were waiting by the roadside, Feng Yu chased after them aggressively and threw a cup of coffee at his cousin¡¯s girlfriend¡¯s face, saying that she was trying to seduce him and had ill intentions. Qin Yuan was dumbfounded at that moment. He had no idea what Feng Yu was trying to do. Later on, he heard from Du Jing that Feng Yu thought that the girl was seducing him. As a childhood friend, she wanted to help Qin Yuan stay away from bad women. After hearing this reason, Qin Yuan felt angry to the point ofughing. He even wanted to kill Feng Yu. Who did she think she was? Why did she need to meddle in other people¡¯s business? If it wasn¡¯t for Feng Yu¡¯s prominent family background, Qin Yuan would probably have gotten his revenge on her.. Moreover, Qin Yuan wasn¡¯t the only one who had experienced Feng Yu¡¯s meddling. Feng Yu treated the boys around her whom she had grown up with as if they were her property. She would always meddle in their rtionships. Only after she fell in love with Luo Tao did she stop meddling in their affairs. Chapter 111 Chapter 111 ¡°Don¡¯t even bother. He hasn¡¯t talked to me since then. I¡¯m puzzled. How did the Feng family raise such a weirdo?¡± Qin Yuan asked Luo Tao. Luo Tao replied with three simple words: ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m d that she has taken a fancy to you. Otherwise, she would probably still be meddling in my life.¡± Hearing Qin Yuan¡¯s words, Luo Tao¡¯s expression turned colder. He felt unlucky to have Feng Yu take a fancy to him. She even shamelessly ran to his grandfather and said that she wanted to marry him. Every time Luo Tao thought of these memories, he especially wanted to throw Feng Yu out of the capital. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Huo Zhen, you really are a girl ma. Not just Feng Yu, but countless girls in the capital had their hearts broken when they heard about your ident. Sister-inw, you¡¯re going to have to deal with being jealous from now on!¡± ¡°Jealous?¡± Luo Tao hesitated. He wanted to see Mo Yan jealous. Qin Yuan nced at Luo Tao¡¯s cheeky expression and thought to himself, ¡®They say that women in love are stupid. It seems that men are the same.¡¯ Qin Yuan immediately changed the topic and asked about business. ¡°Are you going to the Lin family¡¯s banquet tonight?¡± ¡°My old man told me to go.¡± Luo Tao looked a little impatient. Although many coborations were facilitated by this kind of events, the Huo family was considered an extremely prominent family. Attending banquets like these were not important to them anymore. It was obvious that his grandfather had other reasons for insisting that he attend the banquet. Qin Yuan poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. ¡°What are you going to do? Keep sister-inw in the dark?¡± These words made Luo Tao¡¯s eyebrows furrow even more. He had never thought of it that way. He just felt that now was not the time. He was afraid that she would be in danger. ¡°I will take her to see grandfather at the right time.¡± ¡°The right time?¡± Qin Yuan smiled. Luo Tao felt a little ufortable. ¡°There are people in the Huo family who want me dead. I am also afraid that my grandfather will not ept Mo Yan.¡± Qin Yuan nodded and seemed to agree. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s true. But sister-inw is really pitiful.¡± ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Luo Tao did not understand what Qin Yuan meant. ¡°Huo Zhen, when will the right timee? Things are always happening. Are you always going to have to hide her? Tsk, poor sister-inw. It will be a long time before she can stand next to you in the open.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Although Qin Yuan was very yful, sometimes his words were quite pertinent. ¡°Most importantly, are you sure that the old man will not find out about her?¡± It was like a heavy stick hitting Luo Tao¡¯s head, instantly waking him up to reality. ¡°Just now, Mo Yan said that she won¡¯t go to the banquet tonight, right?¡± Luo Tao asked. Qin Yuan recalled for a moment and nodded. ¡°I think so. It¡¯s probably because they don¡¯t have enough invitation letters! Why? Could it be that you¡­¡± Luo Tao suddenly got up. ¡­ It was already noon when Xu Tian finished picking out her dress. The three of them were prepared to return to the hotel first because the girls from the group of four who had arrived earlier called Mo Yan and said that they had a new document to hand over to them. The three of them rushed back to the hotel. After looking at the document carefully, Mo Yan thought that the information in the document did not seem to be that important. Why did they have to rush back? ¡°Let me take a look.¡± While Mo Yan was puzzled, Xu Tian opened her mouth and said. Mo Yan handed the document to her. Xu Tian finished reading it after a few nces and also frowned. ¡°Is this very important?¡± Mo Yan asked. Xu Tian shook her head. Li Guoguo followed and looked at it. ¡°Maybe they don¡¯t know much about the materials we need! They thought this was very important, so they asked us to rush back to get it.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Unable to think of anything, Mo Yan and Xu Tian tacitly agreed with Li Guoguo¡¯s words. The few of them returned to their room. Mo Yan was considering whether she should go with Xu Tian to get styled in the afternoon. If not for that phone call, they had nned to have lunch around the area and walk around. When Xu Tian left, they would go straight back to the hotel. But now, their ns had been disrupted. ¡°Sister Xu! Mo Yan! Look at what this is!¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s voice was full of shock. Mo Yan and Xu Tian walked over to take a look¡­ Chapter 112 Chapter 112 ¡°Is this an invitation letter to Lin Group¡¯s banquet?¡± Mo Yan took the letter and looked through it. The wax seal on the back of the invitation letter had been completely removed. It was probably not Li Guoguo who opened it, but the invitation letter had been opened before it was delivered. ¡°Where did you find this?¡± Xu Tian asked Li Guoguo. ¡°On the ground. I noticed it when I closed the door.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Let¡¯s go check the surveince cameras.¡± The three of them went to the front desk of the hotel to exin the situation. The manager didn¡¯t want to help them check the surveince cameras, but Xu Tian was too strong-willed. Only then did the three of them see what had happened. Someone in the uniform of a hotel employee sneakily stuffed the invitation letter into their room through the crack of the door. The manager called over a personnel to identify this person. However, there were too many hotel employees, and the personnel couldn¡¯t identify who it was at a nce. If they really wanted to find out who it was, they would have to gather everyone andpare them one by one. It would take a lot of time and effort. Mo Yan and the other two felt a headache just thinking about it. In the end, this matter was settled after the manager repeatedly promised to discipline the hotel employees better. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Mo Yan, who do you think gave this to us?¡± Back in the room, Xu Tian asked Mo Yan. When the three of them entered the room this time, they deliberately looked around and did not find anything else. Actually, Mo Yan was suspecting Chen Ya. Did she send her another invitation after hearing that she was not going this morning? But she was not sure. ¡°It¡¯s hard to say, but someone who sneaks things in like this must have bad intentions.¡± ¡°Yeah, I think so too.¡± ¡°Actually, I have someone I suspect. However, I don¡¯t know why she would do this¡± Mo Yan and Xu Tian looked at each other and smiled, knowing each other¡¯s suspicions. While the two of them were talking, Li Guoguo did not interrupt. It was not until Mo Yan was lying on the bed and ying with the invitation card that Li Guoguo walked to her side and said, ¡°Mo Yan, I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°Huh? What?¡± Mo Yan did not move. Her gaze was still on the thing in her hand. ¡°Mo Yan, actually, I know that you are suspecting Chen Ya. Could it be that she wants to y tricks on you again?¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s interest was piqued. Her gaze fell on Li Guoguo, waiting for her to continue. Li Guoguo looked at the invitation letter and said somewhat embarrassedly, ¡°Mo Yan, I have never been to such a banquet. Can you let me go this time? Moreover, if Chen Ya sees that I am the one going, she probably won¡¯t y tricks.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks After sizing up Li Guoguo for a moment, Mo Yan slightly smiled and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid? If she really has such bad intentions, you would be jumping into her trap knowing that it is a trap.¡± Li Guoguo slightly frowned, as if hesitating. After a while, she said, ¡°I want to go! I want to see more of the world. I don¡¯t want to be invisible like Chen Ya says.¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t expect that she would still remember Chen Ya¡¯s words in the morning. She was slightly stunned. ¡°Okay! But be careful and follow sister Xu closely.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Li Guoguo nodded fiercely, the joy in her eyes was beyond words. When Li Guoguo happily ran to the bathroom to make a phone call, Xu Tian walked to Mo Yan¡¯s side. ¡°She is an ambitious person. Her thoughts are not pure. You should be more careful.¡± When Xu Tian said this, she frowned. The vein on her forehead clearly showed her sternness. Mo Yan knew that Xu Tian was concerned about her, she smiled and said, ¡°Yes, I know, sister Xu. But I don¡¯t hate ambitious people. Without ambition, how can one climb up? Moreover, in the workce, it¡¯s better to sheme than to be schemed against by others.¡± As she said this, Mo Yan¡¯s smile revealed a trace of bitterness. Wasn¡¯t she too naive when she first came here, which was why Chen Ya targeted her? ¡°Yes, as long as you know what you¡¯re doing.¡± After saying this, Xu Tian was about to leave, but she was stopped by Mo Yan¡¯s words. ¡°Sister Xu, you care so much about me, just like you¡¯re my sister.¡± As soon as Mo Yan finished speaking, she instantly felt the ambiguity in her words. She thought of Mo Lian. ¡°Ah! That¡¯s not right!¡± How could shepare Mo Lian to sister Xu? Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing Mo Yan change her words, Xu Tian was a little puzzled. Although she had no intentions of being like Mo Yan¡¯s sister, Mo Yan changing her words so quickly also made her confused. ¡°I have a sister in name¡­¡± Mo Yan was silent for a moment before continuing, ¡°Sister Xu, you¡¯re like my biological sister. It¡¯s different from her.¡± Ever since Xu Tian had helped her for the first time and taken care of her from time to time in Jing City, she felt that she had the courage to fight against Chen Ya. Even when she was out of town, she was not alone. Chapter 113 Chapter 113 With this interlude, Mo Yan didn¡¯t have to worry about whether she should go or not. Seeing that it was almost time for the banquet, the three of them returned to the studio, but this time, there were two stylists instead of one. ¡°Excuse me, are you Mo Yan?¡± Hearing someone call her, Mo Yan looked up and saw a woman standing in front of her with a box in her hand. ¡°I am,¡± Mo Yan replied. ¡°Hello, Mo Yan. This is a gown from a gentleman. He said that he hopes that you can wear this gown to the banquet tonight.¡± Looking at the box in the woman¡¯s hand, Mo Yan subconsciously moved back a little. She still wasn¡¯t sure who had left them the extra invitation letter, and now someone was giving her a gown? What was going on? Mo Yan felt paranoid. Xu Tian and Li Guoguo also heard the woman¡¯s words. As the two of them were still styling, they were unable to move and could only look behind through the mirror. ¡°A gentleman gave it to me? I want to meet him.¡± Mo Yan was extremely cautious when it came to gifts from strangers. Moreover, she didn¡¯t remember having any male friends who lived in Jing City who would give her a dress. He didn¡¯t seem like a good person. The woman felt a little awkward when she saw Mo Yan being so guarded. She held the gift box and didn¡¯t know whether to put it down or take it away. While the two of them were in a stalemate, a man who looked like a celebrity walked down from the second floor. He smiled at Mo Yan and said, ¡°Hello, Miss Mo. I¡¯m the manager of this shop, Du Jing.¡± Mo Yan extended her hand and shook his. ¡°Hello, Mr. Du.¡± ¡°Mr. Du, do you know who gave me this gown?¡± Seeing that Du Jing was the manager, he probably knew who was the one who gave her the gown. Sure enough, Du Jing opened his mouth and said, ¡°Miss Mo, there¡¯s no need to think too much. This gown is a gift from a friend of mine. He fell in love with you at first sight when he saw you in the shop this morning. I hope you can ept it.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan had never expected that there would be such a reason. Not only was Mo Yan dumbfounded, Xu Tian and Li Guoguo were also dumbfounded. Strange things happened every day, but today was particrly strange. Mo Yanposed herself and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Du. I¡¯m already married, so I can¡¯t ept your friend¡¯s advances.¡± She was determined to say no to anything that could negatively affect their rtionship. ¡°You¡¯re already married? Why don¡¯t I see you wearing a wedding ring?¡± Du Jing said as he shifted his gaze to Mo Yan¡¯s hand. Mo Yan subconsciously touched her wrist and said, ¡°Because I don¡¯t like diamond rings. My husband gave me a jade bracelet when we got married. I don¡¯t wear it out often in case I identally break it.¡± In order topletely put an end to that unknown suitor¡¯s thoughts, Mo Yan exined in great detail. Just by looking at the packaging, she could tell that the gown was very expensive. He was willing to spend so much money just because of love at first sight? He must be someone with quite a prominent status. Mo Yan did not want to cause unnecessary trouble, so she exined to Du Jing. ¡°I will pass on your words to my friend. However, I still hope that you can ept it. This is the first time my friend has given a girl a present. It¡¯s a gift from his heart.¡± Mo Yan thought for a moment and opened the box. On the thick velvet bottom, a gorgeous and exquisite one-shoulder long gown embellished with countless diamonds was lying quietly in it. With a light smile, Mo Yan did not reach out to touch the dress. Instead, she turned to Du Jing and said, ¡°The dress is very beautiful. Please express my gratitude to your friend on my behalf. However, as a married person, I cannot ept this gift. I think I should reserve the privilege of giving gifts to me to my husband.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

After Du Jing saw that Mo Yan would not ept the dress, he got someone to bring it away. ¡°Although you won¡¯t ept the gown, you can still ept this invitation letter. I heard from my friend that you want to attend the banquet for work. You can ept this, right?¡± Since Du Jing put it that way, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t refuse anymore. She could only take it with a smile. It was a good opportunity to be able to go to the banquet. As Mo Yan had her make up put on, she thought to herself about how good Du Jing was at negotiating. Meanwhile, Luo Tao was thinking about Mo Yan being able to wear the clothes that he had personally picked out for her. Little did he know that his advances were rejected by her. Moreover, the reason was because of him¡­Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 114 Chapter 114 After going around in circles, Mo Yan¡¯s wish of ¡®two more¡¯ came true. It was very hard to get invitation letters but somehow they all had invitation letters now. All the way until the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel where the banquet was being held, the conflicted feelings in Mo Yan¡¯s heart had not yet dissipated. They were all wearing gowns that they had tried on in the shop during the day and were not ostentatious. However, Mo Yan and Xu Tian could not keep a low profile. Even when they were dressed in work attire, they would attract the attention of others. Now that they were dressed up¡­ Everywhere the three of them passed, they would hear discussions about which family they belonged to. After finding a quiet ce, the three of them each took a ss of wine. Mo Yan clinked her ss with Xu Tian and asked, ¡°Sister Xu, when do you think the young master of the Lin family will be back? I overheard that the young master of the Lin family is personally overseeing this project, is that right? I feel like the rumors I hear are always different.¡± ¡°Is that so? I¡¯m not sure,¡± Xu Tian replied. ¡°It would be good for us to get to know more of the higher-ups of Lin Group tonight. Only by knowing more about the project¡¯s requirements will we have an advantage.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan nodded. Seeing that Li Guoguo didn¡¯t answer, she looked at her. Li Guoguo was looking around for something unknown. ¡°Guoguo, what are you looking for?¡± Mo Yan asked. Li Guoguo shook her head. ¡°I¡¯ve never been to such a ce before. I¡¯m just looking around.¡± Xu Tian¡¯s gaze lingered on Li Guoguo for a long time before she turned to speak to Mo Yan. ¡°Why are you here?¡± A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Mo Yan. When Mo Yan turned around, she suddenly recalled what happened at the beverage shop. However, this time, Mo Dong and Chang Lu were behind Mo Lian. Looking at the family of three across from her, Mo Yan suddenly thought of her sick mother and her younger brother who had been bullied. She felt that it was extremely ironic. ¡°If you didn¡¯t call me, I wouldn¡¯t have seen you. Couldn¡¯t you have just ignored me?¡± Mo Yan said indifferently. ¡°Mo Yan, how dare you talk to your sister like that! Quickly apologize!¡± Mo Dong had not seen Mo Yan since she got married. He thought that Mo Yan was still a little girl who would be afraid of him just because he scolded her. Mo Yan could not help but smile mockingly when she saw him like this. She would never forget how he used her mother¡¯s medical fees as a bargaining chip in exchange for her getting married. She would also never forget how she asked him for the medical fees, which was the so-called dowry, and the way he avoided her. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Mr. Mo, when you chased my family out of the house, our ties were officially broken. What did you just ask me to call Mo Lian? I didn¡¯t hear clearly.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s taunting made Mo Dong¡¯s anger surge and his face turned red. ¡°Mo Yan, you¡¯ve only been married for a few months and you already dare to talk back to your father.¡± Chang Lu saw Mo Dong clutching his heart and quickly stepped forward to help pat him. She even acted as a stepmother and scolded Mo Yan. ¡°Luo Tao must be a horrible person. It¡¯s only been a few months and he¡¯s already led you astray.¡± Chang Lu decided to throw the me onto Luo Tao. ¡°Whether my husband is horrible or not, it¡¯s not something a mistress like you who interferes in someone else¡¯s marriage canment on.¡± Mo Yan watched the three of them act like a family and felt her stomach churn non-stop. ¡°Mo Yan, you!¡± Chang Lu looked like she was about to faint from anger. Mo Lian went over to support the two of them and growled at Mo Yan, ¡°Your mother is the mistress! You¡¯re not a good person either.¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Fortunately, Mo Lian knew that she could not yell at a ce like this. It would be embarrassing. ¡°So are you guys trying to look for trouble? If you don¡¯t want to talk to me, then don¡¯t, okay? And¡­¡± Mo Yan stepped forward and grabbed the front of Mo Lian¡¯s dress. She whispered into her ear, ¡°I let you speak first thest time. You ndered me. I won¡¯t forget it. One day, I will settle the score with you.¡± After saying that, Mo Yan even used the back of her hand to rub Mo Lian¡¯s shoulders. If one didn¡¯t know what was going on, one would think that Mo Yan was showing Mo Lian affection instead of giving her a warning. Mo Yan¡¯s warning reminded Mo Lian of her three days at the police station. When she and Wang Nuo were released, someone had specially instructed them to apologize to Mo Yan. It was only because Mo Yan was on a business trip that they were able to avoid apologizing to her. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Somehow, the ce where Mo Yan was on a business trip was actually Jing City. Looking at Mo Lian¡¯s pale face, Mo Yan slightly raised her eyebrows. Was her warning so scary? Mo Lian looked so scared. ¡°Hey, stop looking at them. The young master of the Lin family is here.¡± The people who were secretly watching Mo Yan and the others nudged theirpanions and whispered. Mo Yan¡¯s ears were sharp, so she heard this sentence and looked in the direction that person said¡­ Chapter 115 Chapter 115 He was about 1.75 meters tall and was fat. His small eyes were narrowed with a smile. Although he was wearing a branded suit, he did not have the temperament that he should have. Instead, he looked very bloated. Mo Yan took a few more nces and thought of the blurry photos that she had found online before. She could basically confirm that this person was Lin Group¡¯s young master. At the moment, Lin Group¡¯s young master was talking to the person next to him, and happened to look to the side. Mo Yan wasn¡¯t sure, but it seemed like he met her gaze. Xu Tian used her wine ss to lightly touch Mo Yan¡¯s wine ss and said, ¡°The person next to Lin Group¡¯s young master is General Manager Wu. I¡¯ve had a few interactions with her before. I¡¯ll go talk to her in a while. If you and Li Guoguo don¡¯t meet anyone you know, you guys can stay here first, or you can find a random ce to sit and try not to wander around.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Mo Yan replied. While Mo Yan and Xu Tian were talking, Mo Dong had already quietly left with Chang Lu and Mo Lian. Mo Yan saw that the few of them walking towards Lin Group¡¯s young master. The three of them stopped beside the young master. Mo Dong had a slightly ttering smile on his face as he went forward to greet him. He even asked Mo Lian to toast him. Although Mo Lian looked a little unwilling, she had no choice but to do it. ¡®So this is how Mo Dong looks when facing people who are more powerful and have a higher status than him.¡¯ As she thought of this, the corners of Mo Yan¡¯s mouth curled up mockingly. After looking at them for a moment, she also felt that it was meaningless. Mo Yan looked around her. The hotel was brightly lit. People were clinking sses and toasting each other. Everyone was in the same hall, but there seemed to be a segregation. Because it was Lin Group¡¯s anniversary party tonight, many of Lin Group¡¯s employees naturally came. However, the employees and management staff were segregated. Sighing, Mo Yan thought of her situation in thepany. ¡°Guoguo, I want to sit over there for a while. Do you want toe?¡± Mo Yan asked Li Guoguo, who was beside her. She was a little tired. Usually, she would wear ts. After all, when she was a salesperson, she had to travel everywhere. It was morefortable to wear ts. She was not used to wearing high heels. Seeing that she did not answer, Mo Yan turned her head. She saw Li Guoguo¡¯s gaze constantly sweeping across the hall. Mo Yan could tell that she was looking for something, but since Li Guoguo was unwilling to tell her what she was looking for, she did not ask. ¡°Guoguo,¡± Mo Yan called her again. ¡°Ah?¡± Li Guoguo seemed to have just heard her call her.

Thanks Mo Yan nced at her mockingly and pointed at the sofa not far away. ¡°I said I¡¯m going there to rest for a while. Do you want toe with me?¡± Li Guoguo looked in the direction that Mo Yan was pointing at. It was an even more remote corner, and some of the sofas were hidden in the shadows. Li Guoguo shook her head rejecting her and said, ¡°Mo Yan, I¡¯ll stay here and eat something.¡± ¡°Okay, you take care of yourself. Don¡¯t wander around. If you run into Chen Ya, avoid her,¡±Mo Yan reminded again. ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± After Li Guoguo finished speaking, Mo Yan walked in the direction that she was pointing at. Because the sofa was facing away from Mo Yan, she didn¡¯t notice that there was another person sitting on the sofa before she walked over. However, if she turned around and sat somewhere else, it would be impolite. Mo Yan could only smile at the person and asked, ¡°Is there anyone sitting here? Can I sit here?¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s voice, the person sitting on the sofa slowly raised his head. When Mo Yan saw his face clearly, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little surprised. He looked like an eighteen or neen-year-old youth. The teenager¡¯s expression was indifferent. He nodded slightly at her as an answer. Although the teenager continued to lower his head to read his book after nodding, Mo Yan still felt awkward and started to flip through the magazine in her hand. The hotel was the venue for the celebration of Lin Group¡¯s anniversary, so naturally, the magazines ced in the hall was also about Lin Group. Apart from the scandal about Lin Group¡¯s young master, there were quite a few reports praising their projects. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

The teenager noticed that she was reading about the high-end viplex and asked, ¡°What do you think of Lin Group¡¯s decision?¡± At first, Mo Yan did not realize that the young man was talking to her. She only realized that the young man was looking at her after she raised her head casually. ¡°You¡¯re asking me?¡± Mo Yan asked back, a little surprised. She didn¡¯t expect the youth to take the initiative to talk to her. The youth didn¡¯t answer, but just silently looked at her. Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Okay! Mo Yan confirmed that this youth was indeed asking her. ¡°Lin Group¡¯s real estate department has developed very well in the past two years. Now, this new vi project is also worth looking forward to.¡± Mo Yan mockingly raised her finger and said two sentences to the youth. The youth looked at her and chuckled. ¡°Your expression doesn¡¯t match what you said.¡± ¡°Well¡­ there have been rumors about the expansion of Jing City¡¯s metropolitan area in recent years. Judging from the developments in the past two years, it¡¯s very likely that the expansion will be toward the southeast. If the viplex is located in a remote area that has very little transportation options, the price of the viplex might need to be lowered.¡± The customer base of the n that they had made also needed to be changed appropriately. Mo Yan did not say this out loud. ¡°Oh? Why do you feel that the expansion is likely to be in the southeast direction?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s answer seemed to have piqued the young man¡¯s interest and he continued to ask. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Mo Yan¡¯s face turned red. This was what she had noticed when she was researching information in C City. ¡°¡± She had also consulted a few real estate analysts and all of them said that there was a high possibility of expansion in the southeast direction. It was also because of this that she had gone to the vicinity of the viplex that Lin Group was developing to look around a few times. Transportation was very inconvenient, which would also cause other problems and have an impact on the housing prices. ¡°I¡¯ve consulted about this before.¡± The youth was no longer as cold as before, and his gaze gradually became gentle. ¡°You¡¯re very meticulous in your work.¡± Mo Yan did not know why an eighteen or neen-year-old youth would say such words to her, but she still politely thanked him. Just as the youth was about to say something else, Chen Ya came over and said to Mo Yan without the slightest bit of politeness, ¡°Come with me for a moment.¡± Mo Yan frowned slightly. She did not expect Chen Ya to show her haughty attitude to even outsiders. She said to the youth, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have something to do right now and need to leave for a moment.¡± The youth did not look at Chen Ya from the beginning to the end. He nodded slightly when he heard Mo Yan¡¯s apology. For some reason, his response actually gave Mo Yan the feeling that he had a high status and she was his subordinate. This made Mo Yanugh. He was only a youth of eighteen or neen years old. She had thought too much. ¡°Who was that person you were talking to just now? Don¡¯t act on your own ord and cause trouble for thepany.¡± Chen Ya walked in front and spoke to Mo Yan in amanding tone. It was probably because Chen Ya remembered that she was one level higher than Mo Yan in thepany and wanted to be condescending on purpose. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Although Mo Yan was extremely disgusted with her, she did not want to argue with her. ¡°You and Xu Tiane with me to meet Young Master Lin.

Chen Ya would definitely take whatever chance she got to suppress her. What was she nning to do now? When Xu Tian arrived, Li Guoguo stood not far away and stared at Chen Ya. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let Guoguoe over too?¡± Mo Yan asked with a frown. Chen Ya nced at Li Guoguo with a mocking gaze and said provocatively, ¡°It¡¯s my decision. Why? You want to go against me?¡± Mo Yan really wanted to continue to refute Chen Ya, but she had to behave herself right now, so she could only suppress her anger. It was actually fine if Guoguo did not go. It would be difficult for them get another chance to talk to Lin Group¡¯s young master if they missed this opportunity. After giving Li Guoguo aforting look, Mo Yan followed Xu Tian and walked beside her. Chen Ya held her wine ss and said first, ¡°Hello, Young Master Lin. I¡¯m Chen Ya from Hong Jing Real Estate. I came to Jing City with my uncle to visit your father.¡± ¡°Chen Ya and the Deputy General Manager had alreadye to Jing City?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes darkened slightly as she subconsciously looked at Xu Tian. Xu Tian¡¯s expression remained unchanged. She was not surprised by Chen Ya¡¯s words. The Deputy General Manager was someone who would do something like that. The young master of Lin Group looked at Chen Ya confusedly, as if he was trying to recall if he had really seen her before. Suddenly, his gaze swept past the two people behind Chen Ya. He instantly revealed a smile, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly. ¡°Oh right, I remember you. Supervisor Chen, right! You came a while ago.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Chen Ya did not expect that he would really remember her. She revealed a pleasantly surprised expression and said, ¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t expect you to still remember me.¡± ¡°Of course I remember such a capable woman like you,¡± the young master of Lin Group replied with a smile, his two small eyes squeezed together. Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Chen Ya was surprised by the young master of Lin Group¡¯s words. Then, she noticed that the man kept ncing behind her. ¡°Haha, you tter me by saying that.¡± Chen Ya originally thought that Lin Group¡¯s young master would chat with her a little longer because of the two beauties, Mo Yan and Xu Tian behind her, and mention the project in passing. She didn¡¯t expect him to look at her with an impatient gaze. She hurriedly said, ¡°Oh right, let¡¯s not talk about me anymore. Young Master Lin, today I specially brought two more capable subordinates to meet you. Please take good care of them.¡± Mo Yan stood behind Chen Ya and felt ufortable all over. Their conversation made her remember the shadow that Zhou Shuai had left on her. ¡°They are Xu Tian, Mo Yan, and Xiao Qing from our sales department.¡± After Chen Ya introduced them, they each went to shake hands with the young master. ¡°Haha, your department is really all about girl power! Xu Tian, is it? You are very famous in the real estate industry. You really live up to your reputation today.¡± When Xu Tian walked in front of him, the man deliberately took a few more nces and said a meaningful sentence. ¡°You tter me, Young Master Lin. I¡¯m just an ordinary salesperson from Hong Jing.¡± Mo Yan looked at Xu Tian¡¯s calm expression and could not help but secretly sigh and think about how she still had a lot to learn from sister Xu. Just as she was deep in thought, the man reached his hand in front of Mo Yan and said with a smile, ¡°Hello, Miss Mo¡­¡± ¡°Hello, Young Master Lin.¡± Mo Yan also smiled at the man opposite her. ¡°How old are you this year? You look very young.¡± The young master of Lin Group continued to speak to Mo Yan with a smile. However, this question made Mo Yan really annoyed. Holding back her annoyance, Mo Yan replied, ¡°I¡¯m 21 this year. I only started at Hong Jing not long ago. Please take care of me in the future.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± With that, the young master of Lin Group spoke again, ¡°Miss Mo, to be able to be Supervisor Chen¡¯s subordinate at such a young age, you must really be a rare talent!¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Mo Yan smiled very politely, wanting to end the conversation. Although she knew that she should try her best to get on good terms with this person for the sake of her work, he really did not give her a good impression. Just as Mo Yan was thinking about how to end the conversation, something happened to Li Guoguo. Mo Yan hurriedly rushed over to Li Guoguo¡¯s side. Xu Tian also apologized to the young master of Lin Group and walked in the direction of the two of them. ¡°This was the previously mentioned ¡®very promising¡¯ neer?¡± As soon as Mo Yan and Xu Tian left, the young master of Lin Group immediately revealed his true nature. His small eyes stared intently at the backs of the two of them as he said to Chen Ya. Perhaps it was the man¡¯s sudden change of expression that frightened Chen Ya. After a while, she stammered, ¡°Ah! Yes, it¡¯s her, Young Master Lin.¡± Chen Ya carefully and mockingly looked at the man. She saw that the man looked at Mo Yan and Xu Tian with greed and desire in his eyes, as if he was determined to get them. That look made Chen Ya feel goosebumps all over her body, and she did not dare to look at him again. He looked like a wild boar staring at his prey. Mo Yan rushed to Li Guoguo¡¯s side and only then did she know what had happened. ¡°Mo Yan, I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I identally tripped and spilled wine on this youngdy,¡± Li Guoguo stood at the side and sobbed as she said to Mo Yan. The woman¡¯s gaze towards Li Guoguo was filled with anger as she mocked, ¡°Ha! Didn¡¯t do it on purpose? I think you did it on purpose.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°I didn¡¯t! Don¡¯t nder me!¡± Li Guoguo retorted loudly as tears streamed down her face. Compared to the woman¡¯s overbearing attitude, Li Guoguo was like a small child being bullied.

Little girl, you¡¯ve watched too many dramas!¡± The woman sneered, causing Li Guoguo¡¯s face to turn pale. She could only continue to deny, ¡°That¡¯s not true. I only came over because I saw that there was a nice little cake here. I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t mean to dirty your dress.¡± Li Guoguo cried as she spoke, as if she was going to faint in the next second. Chapter 118 Chapter 118 From their conversation, Mo Yan roughly pieced together the entire incident. She frowned slightly and politely said to the woman, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss. I apologize to you on her behalf. We will pay for it.¡± Regardless of whether this matter was as the woman said, it was a fact that Guoguo had dirtied someone else¡¯s dress. Naturally, she had to bear the responsibility ofpensation. ¡°You¡¯re paying? Do you know how much this gown costs?¡± The woman asked calmly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Before Li Guoguo could finish her words, Mo Yan nced at her. ¡°No matter how much it costs, we should pay for your gown. Regarding Guoguo¡¯s mistake, I hope you can forgive us.¡± The woman looked at Mo Yan for a moment and smiled. ¡°Okay, give me your contact information. I will let you know after the cleaning fee is confirmed.¡± The two exchanged contact information and the woman followed the waiter to change her clothes. It wasmon for hotels to stock spare clothes in case of incidents like this After the woman left, Li Guoguo was still crying. Mo Yan didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡­ ¡°Aiyo! Huo Zhen, you¡¯re finally here. Do you know how Lin Peng looked at sister-inw just now? Tsk.¡± The person who spoke was none other than the Young Master Qin that the woman spoke of, Qin Yuan. This person still didn¡¯t know how much trouble he had caused. When he called Huo Zhen just now, he saw from the corner of his eye that there was a woman holding a ss of wine that seemed to be coming for him, he waited for the woman toe closer before he dodged her and came to find Huo Zhen. ¡°Why did Lin Peng notice Mo Yan? Mo Yan went to greet her herself?¡± Qin Yuan was sure that when Luo Tao said this, he saw murderous intent in his eyes. ¡°No, no, no. Why would sister-inw do that? I think Chen Ya found her and asked her to go. Don¡¯t you know what kind of person Lin Peng is? If Chen Ya wants to get close to the Lin family, the first thing she would think to do is use sister-inw.¡± Seeing that Luo Tao¡¯s expression was getting colder, Qin Yuan quickly shut his mouth.

Thanks Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, ¡°You are going to go look for her? Are you going to come clean? How are you going to exin it to her?¡± These three deadly questions Qin Yuan asked in a row made Luo Tao stop. He turned his head and looked at him coldly, ¡°Noisy.¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Qin Yuan silently cried in his heart. Why was he so afraid of Luo Tao? Luo Tao rushed to the hall anxiously. He did not notice the three people who brushed past him. Mo Yan was currently patting Li Guoguo on the back tofort her. However, Li Guoguo¡¯s tears showed no signs of stopping. This made Mo Yan suspicious of the woman¡¯s words. If Li Guoguo really did it on purpose, why would she be crying so badly? The three of them had no choice but to leave early and take a taxi back to the hotel where they stayed. In the taxi, Xu Tian sat in the front passenger seat, while Mo Yan and Li Guoguo sat in the back. Halfway through the journey, Xu Tian suddenly said, ¡°Don¡¯t cry anymore. No one is watching.¡± As soon as she said this, Mo Yan¡¯sforting voice disappeared, and so did Li Guoguo¡¯s crying. ¡°Li Guoguo, I don¡¯t want to hear your voice anymore. Do you understand?¡± Xu Tian¡¯s voice was cold and piercing. Mo Yan did not expect Xu Tian to say such harsh words. ¡°Sister Xu¡­¡± ¡°Mo Yan, don¡¯t plead for her. The three of us know what happened today. Li Guoguo, no one will stop you if you want to climb up. But you have to be clear about your priorities. Tonight was an opportunity for us to get to know the higher-ups of Lin Group.

Otherwise, I really don¡¯t know what I am going to do to you.¡± This was the first time Mo Yan saw Xu Tian get angry. She was a little afraid, but more than that, she admired her. Powerful people didn¡¯t need to argue. They just had to bring up facts, and make you reflect on your own mistakes. This time, Li Guoguo didn¡¯t speak. She just lowered her head. Even Mo Yan couldn¡¯t see her expression clearly. Mo Yan had just arrived at the hotel when Luo Tao called. Chapter 119 Chapter 119 Mo Yan gestured to the two of them and walked to the side to answer the phone. ¡°Hello? Luo Tao?¡± ¡°Where are you now?¡± The two of them spoke at the same time. Mo Yan was stunned by Luo Tao¡¯s words, but she still answered truthfully, ¡°I was attending Lin Group¡¯s anniversary celebration just now. Something happened and I came straight back to the hotel. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Luo Tao felt both relieved and a little disappointed. He could only find an excuse to prevaricate, ¡°Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to give you a call.¡± ¡°Oh? Why? Did you miss me again?¡± Mo Yan turned around and waved at Xu Tian and Li Guoguo, indicating for them to go back first. On the phone, Luo Tao seemed to be in a noisy environment. There was a lot of noise around him. ¡°Yes, I miss you. I miss you every day.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was soft and deep, like an elegant cello. It tickled Mo Yan¡¯s heartstrings and made them tremble for him. Mo Yan blushed and whispered into the phone, ¡°Don¡¯t you text me every day? Yet you still miss me. It¡¯s only the fourth day of my business trip!¡± ¡°I can¡¯t help it. I want you to be by my side at all times.¡± Luo Tao said this sincerely. Whether it was in C City or Jing City, he always felt that there were many dangers around Mo Yan. He hoped that he could protect her under his wings. ¡°I miss you too! After the project ispleted,e to Jing City. We¡¯ll y for another two days to make up for time that we spent apart, okay?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s gentle voice dispelled Mo Yan¡¯s bad mood. She always felt that Luo Tao was the best medicine to calm her down. When the two of them finally hung up the phone, Luo Tao turned around and faced Du Jing, who was looking at him with his mouth wide open. ¡°Did you hear all that?¡± The question instantly brought Qin Yuan and Du Jing back to their senses. ¡°Brother Huo, you, you, you!¡± Qin Yuan covered the mouth of the person beside him andughed dryly, ¡°No, we didn¡¯t hear anything.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Seeing that Qin Yuan was tactful, Luo Tao put away his cold expression and patted Du Jing¡¯s shoulder when he passed by. ¡°Watch your mouth.¡± Luo Tao walked gracefully, leaving only two quails trembling on the spot. Du Jing said, ¡°Qin Yuan, was that really brother Huo just now? Are you sure he wasn¡¯t possessed? Do you need me to find a ghost exorcist or something?¡± Qin Yuan elbowed him. ¡°You idiot! That really was brother Huo.¡± ¡°No way! I thought it was just a person who looked like him. H-he¡­ Why did he say those things?¡± Actually, Qin Yuan did not expect Huo Zhen and Mo Yan to get along like this. He was also a little confused. ¡°How would I know! Anyway, just pretend you didn¡¯t hear it. Also, the girl that Huo Zhen asked you to send a gift to is the sister-inw that I mentioned. In the future, if you can take care of her, then take good care of her. If you can¡¯t take care of her, then stay away from her.¡± Du Jing finally recovered from his shock. He raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Why? I think sister-inw is quite interesting. Also, the ck-haired girl beside her is my type.¡± ¡°Damn! How dare you have such thoughts about sister-inw¡¯s friend? You¡¯re bold!¡± Qin Yuan looked at Du Jing with a shocked expression. The painful experience of him being suspected of having an affair with his sister-inw was still vivid in his mind. He didn¡¯t want to experience Huo Zhen¡¯s jealousy again. ¡°A gentleman needs his fairdy. I don¡¯t think that girl was wearing a ring, so she shouldn¡¯t be married! Isn¡¯t it okay for me to chase after her?¡± Du Jing said. ¡°Tsk, sister-inw isn¡¯t wearing a ring too! Why don¡¯t you try chasing after her and see if Huo Zhen won¡¯t kill you?¡± Qin Yuan mocked him.

Site Only ¡°Hmm¡­ It seems like I have to do my homework before chasing after her.¡± Mo Yan returned to the upper floor of the hotel. The moment she entered the room, she could feel tension in the air. Xu Tian sat at the table while Li Guoguo sat on the bed. It was unknown what the two of them were thinking about. Mo Yan hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, ¡°Are we still working on the proposal tonight?¡± The three of them were supposed to be backte, so they had no ns to work aftering back. Since there was an incident and they had toe back early without collecting any new information, the only thing the three of them couldpete on was the content of the proposal. If they wanted to win this project, they could only make their sales proposal even more brilliant. Chapter 120 Chapter 120 On the sixth day after arriving in Jing City, the three of them were finally done with their statistics. To their surprise, because they were doing research while redoing their statistics, they had filled in many loopholes. While working on their statistics, they got many ideas for the sales proposal. Although there was only four days left for them to work on the n, they should be able to make it in time if they worked overtime. In the afternoon, Mo Yan prepared to go to the construction site to take a few more photos. She asked the two of them if they wanted toe together, but all she got was a negative answer. The thought of the two of them being alone again in the afternoon made Mo Yan feel a headache. She was certain that something must have happened to the two of them that day, resulting in the two of them not saying a word outside of work from that day onwards. Before leaving, Mo Yan nced at the two of them again, but she did not know what to say, so she sighed and left. This time, Mo Yan¡¯s route to the construction site was strategically nned. She had to take the subway first, then transfer to a bus, and then walk for a distance. Mo Yan had calcted how long it would take for her to go to the site from her hotel. If she took a taxi, it would take about two hours. ¡®¡¯ The route she chose would take about three hours, of course, under the condition that there was no traffic jam. When Mo Yan arrived at the construction site, she realized that there were not many people today. Most of them were workers. It was likely that the people from otherpanies were done collecting data, so there was no need for them toe anymore. As she was walking, Mo Yan saw a high-end car parked by the side of the road. As she did not recognize the car¡¯s logo, Mo Yan took a few nces and walked over. Her main task today was to take photos. When she reached the construction site, Mo Yan noticed a familiar figure. It was the youth she had met at the party. He was looking up at something. It was only then that Mo Yan noticed that the youth was about 1.8 meters tall. His aura was totally different from when she met him sitting down. Just as Mo Yan was hesitating about whether she should greet him, the young man retracted his gaze and turned to her. ¡°Good afternoon, Miss Mo.¡± ¡°Good afternoon. Eh? How do you know my name?¡± Mo Yan remembered that she did not tell him her namest time. The young man smiled and said, ¡°I found out after asking around a little.¡± ¡°Asking about me? Why?¡± Mo Yan frowned in confusion. She did not like this kind of behavior. The youth did not mind Mo Yan¡¯s vignce and continued, ¡°Miss Mo, don¡¯t worry. I just thought that you were very responsible, so I was a little curious about you.¡± ¡°Oh, I see!¡± Mo Yan did not feelfortable around the youth. She said that she still had work to do and had toAll text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. leave. Unexpectedly, he followed her. He walked behind Mo Yan and waited for Mo Yan to take out her camera. The young man at the side asked with a surprised expression, ¡°Do you need to take photos for your sales n?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan did not pay much attention to him. It was alreadyte, so she had to finish her work as soon as possible. After taking clear photos of the walls, the front, and the ceiling, Mo Yan walked to the bathroom, kitchen, stairs, and other ces to take photos. Since there were two floors, Mo Yan took a lot of photos. By the time she was done, it was almost six o¡¯clock. The setting sun shone through the window, coating the originally cold and empty rough room with ayer of warm color. Mo Yan looked through the photos and was satisfied with her work in the afternoon. She took thest few photos in a hurry, afraid that she would not be able to finish taking all the pictures she needed today. All that was left was for Mo Yan to take the video. Since the sky was getting darker, Mo Yan decided to take the video another day ¡°Are you done with your work?¡± Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind Mo Yan. She was shocked and quickly turned around to look. ¡°You! Why are you still here!¡± She was really frightened by this person, and her voice was trembling. The youth frowned slightly, as if he did not understand why Mo Yan was so frightened. He said, ¡°I¡¯ve always been here.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Yan looked at him, and the two of them were silent. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°So why have you always been here? Why are you following me?¡± Mo Yan asked. The youth thought about it and asked the question he asked previously. ¡°I want to know why you need to take photos.¡± The youth¡¯s clear eyes stared at Mo Yan without blinking, causing Mo Yan to suddenly feel a little guilty. Could it be that he had followed her for so long just because she did not answer him? Chapter 121 Chapter 121 Sighing helplessly, Mo Yan handed him the camera, she said, ¡°The photos are of things that the clients may find issues about. As a sales person, when facing customers, they will ask a lot of unexpected questions. We can¡¯t wait for them to ask questions before going to the site to investigate, right! If we do that, people will think that we are not professional and don¡¯t understand what we are selling.¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking about the problems that will arise during sales. Hasn¡¯t Lin Group not chosen a partner yet?¡± The young man looked at the photos in confusion. ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Yan nodded, then, she chuckled and said, ¡°I feel that only when I treat the project as my own can I think of all the problems. When I think of all the customers¡¯ concerns, then I can look back at my proposal and improve it.¡± After that, Mo Yan pulled out photos one by one and told the young man about the questions that she had previously encountered from clients. The young man was a good listener. He did not say much, but he would respond when Mo Yan needed it. This also made Mo Yan not be able to stop talking. Before she knew it, it was already seven o¡¯clock. It was not until Li Guoguo called her that she suddenly reacted. The two of them walked out of the vi. Mo Yan looked at thepletely dark sky and could not help but feel depressed. ¡°I don¡¯t know if there are any more buses,¡± Mo Yan muttered. Then, she turned to the youth and asked, ¡°Where do you live? How did you get here?¡± Actually, she was a little suspicious of the youth¡¯s identity. He attended the banquet and came here today. Did he have something to do with the Lin family? The young man looked at her and replied with two words: My car. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. These two simple words instantly made Mo Yan¡¯s eyes widen. He was not talking about taking a taxi, but taking a car. In other words, she might be able to get a ride home tonight! However, before Mo Yan could even react, she suddenly felt someone rapidly approaching. Following that, a handkerchief with a pungent smell was ced over her mouth. ¡°Wu!¡± Mo Yan struggled with all her might, but she was unable to break free. Before she fainted, Mo Yan saw from the corner of her eye that the young man¡¯s nose and mouth was also being covered by someone¡­ After an unknown amount of time, Mo Yan felt a splitting headache. The dizziness and nausea forced her to open her eyes. For a moment, Mo Yan wondered if she was blind. Why was it so dark? She blinked twice. When Mo Yan¡¯s eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, she confirmed that she was in a dark environment. Recalling the situation before she fainted, Mo Yan was almost certain that she had been kidnapped. ¡°Cough.¡± Suddenly, a light cough entered Mo Yan¡¯s ear, making her pleasantly surprised. ¡°Hey!¡± Mo Yan knew that this was the youth she was with. She still didn¡¯t know his name. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Miss Mo?¡± The youth¡¯s voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just woken up. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. We seem to have been kidnapped.¡± Slowly, Mo Yan regained her sight. They seemed to be locked in an iron box. The distance between the two sides was very narrow but it was pretty long. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong? Are you not feeling well?¡± Seeing that the youth had not answered, Mo Yan asked. The reason why Mo Yan asked this was because she was also not feeling well. The pungent smell from before still gave her a headache. The youth still did not reply to Mo Yan¡¯s question, which gave Mo Yan a bad feeling. ¡°Are you not feeling well? If you¡¯re feeling unwell, say something.¡± As she spoke, Mo Yan tried to look for the youth, but she bumped into a wall. Mo Yan changed directions and continued walking. This time, she sessfully bumped into the youth, but¡­ ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Mo Yan squatted down. Only when she got close did she see the youth hugging his legs and trembling non-stop. ¡°Are you afraid? Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here!¡± Mo Yan patted the youth¡¯s shoulder gently tofort him. Actually, Mo Yan was also afraid. Being in a dark and narrow environment, she did not know who the person who kidnapped them was, nor did she know the purpose of kidnapping them. However, she had to calm down before she could think of a way to save herself. Mo Yan patted the youth with one hand and touched the surroundings with the other to see if there were any tools. Mo Yan did not speak, leaving only the breathing sounds of the two of them in the air. Gradually, the breathing sounds of the youth beside Mo Yan¡¯s ear became softer and softer. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°You, what¡¯s wrong with you? Don¡¯t scare me.¡± Once again, Mo Yan pressed her body close to him. She did not care about anything else and forcefully pushed away the arms that the youth was hugging tightly. At this moment, the young man had already lost all his strength. His arms that had been pushed away fell to the ground. Mo Yan pressed her hand against his forehead and it felt wet and cold. His breathing was very weak and his eyes were tightly shut, as if he had fainted. This time, Mo Yan did not have the energy to think whether the two of them had been kidnapped or whether making a noise would bring any danger to the two of them. The only thing she could do was to p the surrounding metal sheets. Chapter 122 Chapter 122 ¡°Help! Someone is dying here! Help!¡± Seeing that the pping did not work, Mo Yan immediately kicked the metal sheets. This kick caused the surroundings to tremble. ¡°Someone! Help!¡± She kicked and shouted at the same time, yet no one came. Mo Yan felt that the person beside her was getting colder and colder. Her heart was racing and her body was trembling. All text ?

Can you say something to me?¡± Mo Yan spoke in his ear over and over again as she held his cold hands. ¡°Do you still remember that client I didn¡¯t finish telling you about when we were at the vi? She¡¯s really amazing¡­¡± As she told the story, Mo Yan used her feet to touch the metal sheet. Mo Yan didn¡¯t know if it was because she had been speaking all this time or it was because of the youth¡¯s willpower, but Mo Yan felt that the youth¡¯s breathing seemed to have stabilized a little. ¡°Are you feeling better? Can you answer me?¡± After an unknown amount of time, there seemed to be a sounding from outside the metal sheet. Mo Yan wanted to shout, but she realized that she could no longer do so. She could only speak in a low, hoarse voice. After using her fists to hammer the metal sheet twice, Mo Yan heard the sound outside be clearer. It was the sound of iron chains shing. Mo Yan hugged the youth tightly in her arms. She did not know if the people who came were there to tie them up or to save them. However, as long as they let them out, it would be enough. When the light shone in, Mo Yan heart beat rapidly. ¡°Young Master!¡± The door was opened and she saw an anxious old man standing outside the door looking inside. Mo Yan¡¯s heart instantly fell. She quickly said to the person who came, ¡°Quickly send him to the hospital.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks After saying that, Mo Yan also fainted. When Mo Yan woke up again, she was still a little absent-minded. The snow-white walls that entered her eyes made her eyes sting for a moment. ¡°Mo Yan, you¡¯re awake!¡± Hearing a familiar voice, Mo Yan turned her head and saw Li Guoguo standing by her bed. ¡°Mo Yan, you scared me to death! How could you encounter a kidnapping at a construction site!¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s eyes were red as she looked at Mo Yan with tears in her eyes. Mo Yan smiled at her. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± The moment she opened her mouth, she was shocked by her own voice, followed by a slight pain. When she heard Mo Yan say that she was fine, Li Guoguo¡¯s eyes became even redder. ¡°Mo Yan, don¡¯t talk anymore. The doctor said that you used your voice too much and needed more rest. Also, all five toes on your left foot are hurt. Don¡¯t you feel any pain?¡± Li Guoguo scolded her with a sobbing tone, which made Mo Yan not know whether tough or cry. At that time, she had no choice but to make noises to attract people. Moreover, the state of the young man had already made her worry so much that she was numb to any pain. She was afraid that the young man would die just like that. ¡°Where¡¯s the person who was with me?¡± Enduring the pain in her throat, Mo Yan asked. Although she was sure that the youth was alive, she did not know how he was. ¡°Don¡¯t talk anymore. He¡¯s fine. He¡¯s doing much better than you.¡± These short and cold words, Mo Yan knew immediately that it from sister Xu. Mo Yan looked at Xu Tian with a helpless gaze. She really did not understand what had happened. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

Seeing that Mo Yan could still joke around, Xu Tian rolled her eyes at Mo Yan. This was the first time Mo Yan had seen Xu Tian roll her eyes. Li Guoguo was also amused by the interaction between the two of them and burst intoughter. Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door. Xu Tian went over to open the door and saw a man with delicate features and a slightly thin figure standing outside. Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Because the boy hade to see Mo Yan after he woke up yesterday, Xu Tian was able to roughly guess what had happened.

Xu Tian nced at Li Guoguo, and Li Guoguo tactfully walked out together. ¡°Miss Mo, thank you for yesterday.¡± The young man¡¯s gaze fell on Mo Yan¡¯s bandaged feet, and he spoke slowly. Mo Yan wanted to shake her head at the young man to show that it was okay, but the young man didn¡¯t look at her at all. Looking around, Mo Yan noticed the bag that Xu Tian had just brought in. Taking out the rectangr paper box inside, it turned out to be a writing boardmonly used by children. Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but chuckle at how meticulous sister Xu was.

You saved me this time.¡± ¡°Enemies? Extortion? Your family paid for it?¡± ¡°No, they didn¡¯t ask for money.¡± The young man denied Mo Yan¡¯s guess, which aroused Mo Yan¡¯s curiosity. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t extortion or murder, then why did they kidnap you?¡± The young man lowered his eyes again and didn¡¯t answer Mo Yan¡¯s question. If they didn¡¯t want money or their lives. Why would they waste their time and energy to kidnap him? ording to Uncle Jiang, they were rescued from the back of a minivan. The car had been modified, and there was an entire piece of metal te between the cars. If Mo Yan hadn¡¯t kept making noises to attract the attention of others, it would have taken them even longer to rescue him. As for the reason for this kidnapping, it was probably because they wanted him to suffer more psychological trauma. His ustrophobia wasn¡¯t congenital. It was caused when he was kidnapped as a child and kept in a narrow wooden box for two days and two nights. However, the person who nned this kidnapping probably didn¡¯t realize that having Mo Yan around was a huge support for him. Hearing continuous talking and the sound of kicking on the metal board for five hours was able to help him take his mind off his ustrophobia a little. At that time, although he was unable to speak or respond, he could vaguely hear her voice. The vibration of the metal board also helped him regain his sense of touch.

She even heard someone call him young master earlier. Could she consider getting some subsidies from him to make up for her family¡¯s expenses? It was difficult to repay a debt of gratitude, so Mo Yan felt that it was better to settle this matter as soon as possible.

This is what I should do, so it doesn¡¯t count,¡± the youth said. This kid was really something! Mo Yan frowned and wiped off the words she had written earlier. She changed the sentence, ¡°Tell me your name, and we won¡¯t owe each other anything anymore.¡± After she finished writing, she showed it to the youth. Then, she quickly wrote something else, ¡°If you¡¯re not going to tell me, then get out! Also, I¡¯m a married woman. Don¡¯t even think about marrying me!!!¡± Mo Yan was just teasing the youth, but the youth was stunned when he saw the three exmation marks.

Yourpany will give you a promotion and a raise if you win this project.¡± Mo Yan shook her head like a rattle-drum. ¡°I want to win the project on my own.¡± During the day of the banquet, Mo Yan had a few conversations with Xu Tian about connecting with the higher-ups. Mo Yan asked Xu Tian, ¡°Do you want to connect with the higher-ups so that they will have a good impression of Hong Jing and choose us?¡± Xu Tian answered no. She wanted them to connect with the higher-ups so that they could understand the leaders¡¯ views on the project and their thoughts on real estate. People with different backgrounds had different needs, and the viplex project was aimed at the upper-ie group, so they needed to get to know those people. It was only then that Mo Yan realized that her thoughts were too narrow-minded. Sister Xu really wanted to win this project, but she never nned to use underhanded methods. Lin Ye stared at Mo Yan for a long time and said, ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t say much.¡± ¡°I can agree to one request of yours. Even if you can¡¯t think of it now, you can bring it up in the future.

After a long time, Uncle Jiang sighed and replied, ¡°Yes, young master, it can be treated.¡± Uncle Jiang had watched Lin Ye grow up, so he knew the cause of Lin Ye¡¯s ustrophobia.

Luo Tao sighed. Previously, he had missed the opportunity to tell Mo Yan about his identity. After that, he had flown to M Country, so he did not have the opportunity to exin. However, the most important thing was that he hoped that when Mo Yan found out about his identity, she would feel pleasantly surprised and not scared or think that he was joking. He also did not want Mo Yan to distance herself from him because of his identity. Just as Luo Tao was deep in thought, Wen Ze walked back to the office and said to Luo Tao with a serious expression, ¡°Brother Huo, the Lin family¡¯s project has been investigated¡­¡± ¡­ Mo Yan felt refreshed the next day when she woke up, as if she had endless strength to conquer the presentation.

Are you going to put in a good word for sister-inw?¡± He didn¡¯t care about whether Luo Tao would reply him and continually babbled. Luo Tao pinched the bridge of his nose and resisted the urge to kick Qin Yuan. ¡°Huo Zhen, remember when you asked me to investigate the Deputy General Manager of sister-inw¡¯s company? I have a lead.¡± ¡°Speak.¡± Luo Tao said simply. ¡°The Deputy General Manager, Chen Jin has messed with Song Yun¡¯s people before. It was a project of one of the branches of Huo Group. At that time, Hong Jing also sent two teams. Chen Jin bribed the people in Song Yun¡¯s team, causing the two teams toe up with proposals that were 80% simr.

The personnel who had chosen Chen Jin¡¯s team was suddenly transferred away. Someone must have noticed that something wasn¡¯t right!¡± Luo Tao nodded.

Qin Yuan saw that Luo Tao¡¯s reaction was calm, he raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°Hong Jing should have been able to expand into Jing City a long time ago.

If you change her mind, you can contact me again.¡± Helpless, Mo Yan took the business card. Only after the man left did she furrow her eyebrows. Thankfully, no one else saw their conversation. ¡°Mo Yan, he was Lin Group¡¯s leader, right? Why did he give you his business card?

Mo Yanughed softly, herughter was filled with ridicule. ¡°Mo Dong divorced my mom because of your mom. Do you think I don¡¯t know this? Besides, why would I need to hear this from you? If anything I can just ask my mom directly.¡± Mo Lian was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, ¡°Even if you ask you mom, she won¡¯t tell you! Because¡­¡± At this point, Mo Lian seemed to have thought of something and immediately stopped talking. When she spoke again, her voice was full of calmness. There was even a hint of schadenfreude in her tone. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Do you really not want to know? Why was Dad so heartless towards your family? Why your mom agreed to Dad¡¯s request for a divorce instead of fighting against it?¡± Mo Lian¡¯s words were like a thorn that stabbed deep into Mo Yan¡¯s heart. In fact, she had asked her mother this question before, but her mother only responded with a pained expression on her face. She shook her head and was unwilling to say anything. As if sensing Mo Yan¡¯s hesitation, Mo Lian¡¯s tone became even lighter. ¡°Tonight at six o¡¯clock, on the second floor of the Grand Court, I will wait for you there.¡± Without waiting for Mo Yan¡¯s reply, Mo Lian hung up the phone by herself. Mo Yan gripped her phone tightly. This kind of situation where she knew that Mo Lian had bad intentions but had no choice but to go made Mo Yan feel powerless. She wanted to know what had happened in the past. Why did Mo Dong suddenly want to divorce her mother? And her mother just epted? When Mo Yan returned to the meeting room, she was still a little distracted. Xu Tian noticed her abnormality and asked, ¡°Who called?¡± Mo Yan did not want to tell others about her family matters, so she tried her best to squeeze out a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just someone I know. Sister Xu, I¡¯m going out for a while. I¡¯ll see you guys back at the hotelter.¡± ¡°You want to go out alone?¡± Xu Tian¡¯s eyes revealed a look of disapproval. She didn¡¯t think that it was a good idea. ¡°Yes, I have an appointment. I¡¯ll be back as soon as possible.¡± Mo Yan was thinking about Mo Lian¡¯s words, so she didn¡¯t notice Xu Tian¡¯s gaze. ¡°Mo Yan,e with me. I have something to ask you.¡± Seeing Li Guoguo looking at the two of them, Xu Tian wanted to talk to Mo Yan in private. ¡°Sister Xu, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan walked out with Xu Tian absent-mindedly. ¡°Mo Yan, do you know how crucial this time is?¡± Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Hmm?¡± Mo Yan still hadn¡¯t understood what Xu Tian meant. Xu Tian gazed deeply at Mo Yan with her pair of beautiful eyes. ¡°The project results are not out yet, and Chen Ya is still eyeing us like a hawk. If she sees us doing something wrong, she will pounce on us.¡± Mo Yan looked back at Xu Tian in confusion. ¡°Doing something wrong?¡± Chapter 130 Chapter 130 ¡°In the afternoon, the leader of Lin Group gave you his business card and asked you to meet him privately.¡± Xu Tian¡¯s words instantly enlightened Mo Yan and she understood Xu Tian¡¯s concerns. ¡°Sister Xu, do you really think I¡¯m that kind of person?¡± Mo Yan asked with a frown. She did not expect sister Xu to suspect her like this. Xu Tian did not say anything. She wanted to trust Mo Yan. However, the betrayal that she had experienced before made her have trust issues. She did not want to win the project by cheating. She also did not want Mo Yan to do immoral things just to get what she wanted. Mo Yan said sternly, ¡°Sister Xu, I¡¯m just going to meet someone I know tonight, not the leader of Lin Group. Of course I won¡¯t do such a stupid thing.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Xu Tian¡¯s request was a little unreasonable, but she could not take any chances. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sister Xu. This is my personal matter. I can¡¯t let you go with me.¡± From what Mo Lian said, it seemed like what she wanted to tell her was private, so she couldn¡¯t let a third person hear it. After being rejected, Xu Tian looked at Mo Yan for a while without saying anything. She turned around and left. Mo Yan felt a little ufortable. Whether it was her mother¡¯s matter or Xu Tian¡¯s suspicions, they both made her feel as if a huge weight was pressing down on her heart. It felt like something bad was about to happen. ¡­ After leaving the Lin Group building, Mo Yan headed straight for the Grand Court that Mo Lian had mentioned. The sky gradually became gloomy. It was about to start raining. Sitting in the taxi, Mo Yan looked at the hurried pedestrians. She suddenly recollected about her childhood. At that time, she had a perfect family, an amiable father, a kind mother, and a cute younger brother. She lived a happy life. However, everything changed when her father brought Chang Lu home two years ago. Her father drove them out of the vi, leaving only a fifty-square-meter old house for the three of them to live in. At that time, she and her younger brother were still studying, so their mother had to work hard to support them. Living that way was already difficult, but God was still not merciful. Her mother¡¯s health deteriorated, and Mo Yan had to work to earn her living expenses, her mother¡¯s hospital fees, and her brother¡¯s tuition fees. Raindrops fell on the car window. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan thought about everything that had changed since then. She no longer called Mo Dong her father, and she had also forgotten those happy times. No matter how happy she was in the past, everything that had happened since then smeared whatever happy memories she had left. Her phone vibrated. It was a text message from Luo Tao. [Are you back at the hotel?] Luo Tao told her at noon that he would be staying at his friend¡¯s ce in Jing City for the next two days. Mo Yan was quite shock to hear that Luo Tao had a friend in Jing city. Luo Tao said that they were good friends who grew up together before his whole family moved to Jing City. He said that when he came to Jing City, his friend specifically invited him, so he couldn¡¯t refuse. Mo Yan expressed her understanding, and also understood how Luo Tao was able to give her rmendations of where to visit in Jing City. Mo Yan thought for a moment, but she still didn¡¯t want to lie to Luo Tao, so she replied: [Not yet, I¡¯m meeting an acquaintance.] After Mo Yan sent the message, Luo Tao also received the location where Mo Yan¡¯s taxi stopped. The reason why Luo Tao asked Qin Yuan to help him take care of Mo Yan when he was abroad was because he was very busy overseas and could not pay attention to Mo Yan¡¯s every move in Jing City. By asking Qin Yuan to help him take care Mo Yan, he could get Qin Yuan to contact him if anything happened to Mo Yan. However, what Luo Tao didn¡¯t expect was that the Lin family would stop Qin Yuan¡¯s men from following Mo Yan. As a result, Qin Yuan and Luo Tao didn¡¯t even know that Mo Yan had been kidnapped. Grand Court Hotel? Luo Tao thought for a while before confirming that this hotel was owned by the Huo family. ¡°Get the car. I¡¯m going to Grand Court Hotel.¡± Just as his men opened the door for Luo Tao, he saw Qin Yuan and Du Jing outside. ¡°Huo Zhen, where are you going? I have something to tell you,¡± Qin Yuan said first. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Du Jing looked at Luo Tao and felt that there was something different about Luo Tao today. Luo Tao frowned slightly and said to the two of them, ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while. Tell me when I get back.¡± ¡°Wait! It¡¯s about your third uncle. Don¡¯t you want to know?¡± Luo Tao nced at the two of them and said indifferently, ¡°Follow me.¡± After getting into the car, Qin Yuan spoke again with a somewhat serious expression, ¡°Your third uncle is on the move again. What are you going to do?¡± Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Although Qin Yuan usually had a cheeky smile on, he knew to be serious when it came to serious matters. After Huo Zhen¡¯s car ident, the cooperation between the Qin family and the Huo family began to be unstable due to the change in the person in charge. During that period of time, the situation became something that everyone in Jing City paid attention to. Although old master Huo was back in charge, he was already old and had to soon relinquish his position to someone else. What was important was who would take over his position. The person who would take over his position would have a safe-sailing career for the next few decades, while for the people who were not involved, nothing much would change for them. At that time, faced with the cooperation initiation of the second and third masters of the Huo family, as well as the vague goodwill of the fourth master, the Qin family chose to be neutral. However, this made the young masters of the Huo family angry. As a result, the Qin family were put in a difficult position. Luo Tao knew his worries and replied, ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see. Recently, there has been a lot of snakes in the Huo family. It¡¯s time to get rid of them.¡± He had not yet done anything towards them since he returned to Jing City, in order to give them the impression that he had lost his fighting spirit after almost dying. It seemed that they had finally had enough of waiting and wanted to make their first move towards Luo Tao. ¡°Brother Huo, why aren¡¯t you surprised at all? Did you find out about this earlier?¡± Du Jing was a little curious about Luo Tao¡¯s calmness. ¡°No, I guessed.¡± The two short words made Du Jing turn his gaze to Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan understood what his gaze meant and fell silent. Du Jing meant that Huo Zhen seemed more like his usual self right now. Qin Yuan could not help but feel relieved after he was sure that Huo Zhen was not intimidated by the other young masters of the Huo family. He was excited to see what Huo Zhen was going to do. Speaking of which, was Du Jing not curious about where brother Huo was going in such a hurry? And what he was going to do? Imagining Du Jing¡¯s shocked expression when he found out the truth, the corners of Qin Yuan¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. When the time came, he would definitely have to capture Du Jing¡¯s dumbfounded look. ¡­ Back at the hotel, Mo Yan walked into the private room that Mo Lian had designated. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks At this moment, Mo Lian was already waiting in the private room. There were a few dishes and a bottle of red wine on the round table in front of her. When she saw Mo Yan, she revealed a rare smile. ¡°Sit.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s hair stood on end seeing her smile. She became even more vignt and sat at the seat furthest away from her. ¡°Say what you came here to say!¡± ncing at the time, Mo Yan ced her bag and phone on the table. She hoped that Mo Lian did not come here with bad intentions. Mo Lian could not help but feel embarrassed when she saw that Mo Yan did not speak nicely. However, for some unknown reason, she restrained herself from being rude back to her. ¡°No matter what, you and I are sisters. Why do we have to act like enemies? Why don¡¯t we bury the hatchet and forget about the grudges between our parents?¡± After saying that, Mo Lian raised her wine ss and gestured to her. Mo Yan¡¯s gaze paused on Mo Lian¡¯s wine ss for a moment, then she poured herself a ss of red wine. However, Mo Yan only yed with the wine ss and did not drink it. Looking at the liquid that was swaying back and forth in the ss, Mo Yan said, ¡°Mo Lian, we have already shed all pretense of cordiality a long time ago. Aren¡¯t you tired of pretending?¡± Mo Lian¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw Mo Yan pouring the wine. However, she realized that Mo Yan was just toying with her. She couldn¡¯t help but sneer, ¡°Mo Yan, I¡¯m trying to be mature here. What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Ha! That¡¯s funny. How can a legitimate daughter and an illegitimate daughter be sisters?¡± Mo Yan raised her head and looked into her eyes, her smile bing more and more mocking. Mo Lian hated it the most when people said that she was an illegitimate daughter. She was clearly her mother¡¯s husband¡¯s daughter, but her father was unwilling to divorce Mo Yan¡¯s mother. That was why she had to live in hiding for so many years, afraid that others would say that she was an illegitimate daughter. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Thinking of why she called Mo Yan out today, Mo Lian tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. She said to Mo Yan, ¡°I¡¯m not here to quarrel with you today. I¡¯m here to tell you the truth of the past. Your mother and my father divorced because they fell out of love. Don¡¯t keep thinking that it¡¯s all my mother¡¯s fault.¡± Mo Yan raised her eyebrows in disdain and turned a deaf ear to Mo Lian¡¯s words. Mo Lian called her out today to tell her the truth of the past? Please. Chapter 132 Chapter 132 ¡°Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I¡¯m leaving. I¡¯m in a hurry,¡± Mo Yan said as she was getting impatient from Mo Lian¡¯s dawdling. ¡°You!¡± Mo Lian was filled with anger and she almost couldn¡¯t catch her breath. She gulped down a mouthful of red wine before ring fiercely at Mo Yan as she said, ¡°You said that I¡¯m an illegitimate daughter. Your younger brother isn¡¯t legitimate either. Not only is he an illegitimate child, he¡¯s also an illegitimate child from God knows where.¡± ¡°What did you say!¡± Mo Yan mmed the table and stood up, her eyes filled with raging anger. Seeing that Mo Yan was angry, Mo Lian calmed down instead. She chuckled and said, ¡°Why are you so agitated? Didn¡¯t you want to know the truth? I¡¯m telling you the truth!¡± Mo Yan clenched her fists tightly, and her teeth clenched so hard that they hurt. She resisted the urge to beat Mo Lian up, trying her best to finish listening to her. ¡°I asked Dad. Dad and your mother were indeed married. I didn¡¯t know before, so I admit that Dad and my mother were indeed in the wrong. Dad identally had sex with my mother in the second year of his and your mother¡¯s marriage. At first, Dad and my mother didn¡¯t know that my mother was pregnant, but as her belly grew bigger and she was unable to have an abortion, dad could only send my mother and I to a faraway ce.¡± ¡°Although he would asionally send us money, he was barely present in my childhood. Later on, after having you, my father became more and more reluctant to visit me. One year, my high fever reached 39 degrees. My mother was out working and wasn¡¯t at home. I could only endure it by myself. At night, my mother sent me to the hospital. The doctor said that if I came anyter, my brain might have been damaged for good.¡± At this point, Mo Lian smiled bitterly at Mo Yan and drank a mouthful of red wine. Mo Yan frowned. She did not expect Mo Lian to have lived like this in the past. She also did not understand why Mo Lian was telling her this? To gain her sympathy? What was the reason? ¡°After that incident, my mother did not dare to go out to work and focused on taking care of me at home. This caused a lot of financial problems for us. Later on, my mother had no choice but to tell Dad that we wanted to live together. At first, Dad didn¡¯t agree. In order to make Dad feel that she was valuable, my mother went to learn about Dad¡¯s work. This gave us a chance to go back.¡± ¡°But even so, Dad didn¡¯t divorce your mother.¡± ¡°Then why did he divorce herter?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s heart was beating faster and faster. ¡°Why? I just said the reason! Your younger brother, Mo Cheng, is not Dad¡¯s child. He is the result of your mother having an affair with someone else!¡± After saying that, Mo Lian looked at Mo Yan with a smile. ¡°If you are going to ask me how I know, it¡¯s because I identally saw Dad and Mo Cheng¡¯s paternity test! In the beginning, it was indeed Dad who betrayed your mother first. Butter on, your mother also cuckolded Dad and made him raise someone else¡¯s child for so long. Heh!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± ¡°Dad was extremely upset, so he requested for a divorce. Afterwards, he brought my mother and I home.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°You¡¯re lying to me. You¡¯re lying to me, aren¡¯t you!¡± Mo Yan yelled at Mo Lian. Meanwhile, Mo Lian also revealed a mocking expression towards Mo Yan. ¡°You¡¯re clearly the one who wants to know the truth, yet you still say that I¡¯m lying to you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. It¡¯s not true.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Mo Yan fell onto the chair in a daze and muttered to herself. ¡°No, this is impossible. Mo Cheng is Dad¡¯s child.¡± At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Mo Lian saw that Mo Yan was still immersed in her own world, so she took the initiative to open the door. ¡°May I know if Miss Mo Lian is in the room?¡± A waiter stood outside the door and asked Mo Lian. Mo Lian didn¡¯t know who was here for her, so she could only frown and say, ¡°I am.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this. There¡¯s ady in the hall who wants to hand you a bouquet of flowers. She hopes that you can go and get it.¡± ¡°She wants me to go and get it?¡± Mo Lian asked, puzzled. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s what thedy said.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Lian nced at Mo Yan, who was in a daze, and then walked out with the waiter. When they arrived at the hall, Mo Lian saw the woman holding the flowers. After asking around, Mo Lian found out that thedy was just a flower delivery woman. The flower seller had asked her to call Mo Lian out and hand the flowers to her personally. Mo Lian felt confused as she walked back with the flowers. After looking at the bouquet carefully, Mo Lian noticed that there was a card hidden in the bouquet. There were five words written on it: [Proceed ording to the n] Chapter 133 Chapter 133 The moment Mo Lian saw the card, she had a look of realization. So this was the reason why she was called out and the deliverydy had to hand the bouquet to her personally. She knew that the person did not trust her, so why why did the person want to work with her? Mo Lian sneered and was about to throw the flower into the trash can, but she stopped when she was about to throw it down. Mo Lian held the flower in her arms and returned to her room. Mo Yan was still in the same position as when Mo Lian left, as if she had not moved at all. ¡°Actually, I was also very shocked when I found out the whole truth, and I even hated you more,¡± Mo Lian sat back down and said to Mo Yan. Mo Yan raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion. ¡°Since you hate me so much, why are you still telling me these things?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was very weak, making people feel that she was in despair and pain. Mo Lian¡¯s eyes gently caressed the bouquet next to her. ¡°Someone told me that I shouldn¡¯t bear the grudges of my parents. If I continue to hold a deep grudge, no one will like me anymore.¡± ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Mo Yan muttered in a daze. Mo Lian smiled and did not answer. She raised her wine ss and motioned to Mo Yan. Mo Yan seemed to have been manipted as she picked up her wine ss. ¡°Let bygones be bygones!¡± As soon as Mo Lian finished speaking, both of them drank a mouthful of red wine. Pointing at the delicacies on the table, Mo Lian said, ¡°The dishes are all pretty good. You can try them.¡± After saying that, Mo Lian took the cutlery and took a bite. It was as if she was testing the dishes for Mo Yan, making Mo Yan feel at ease. Mo Yan¡¯s eyes shed and she nodded her head. After an unknown amount of time, Mo Lian felt a little dizzy. When she looked at Mo Yan, she found that Mo Yan had alreadyid down on the table. Mo Lian took out her phone and texted someone. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s done. Come in and carry her!¡± After saying that, Mo Lian leaned on the chair beside her and fell unconscious. At this moment, the two people in the room seemed to have fallen asleep. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Not long after, two tall men dressed in casual clothes walked in. Probably not expecting there to be two people in the room who were asleep, the men looked at each other and whispered to each other before carrying one of them on their backs and leaving the hotel through the back door. Mo Yan tried her best to keep her breathing steady. She did not dare to open her eyes for fear of being discovered. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. She did not dare to open her eyes until she and Mo Lian were thrown into the back seat of the car and the two men sat in the driver¡¯s seat and the co-driver¡¯s seat respectively. Mo Yan was indeed a little shocked when she heard what Mo Lian said, but she quickly snapped out of it. She did not quite believe Mo Lian¡¯s words. Putting everything else aside, if Mo Lian was really living in such a difficult environment as she said, it would be impossible for her to have developed such an arrogant character. Did Mo Lian think that she was stupid? She made up such a lie to deceive her. Mo Lian did not even think that the reason why she dared toe was because she had made preparations in advance. Mo Lian even wanted to drug Mo Yan? How childish. However, the development of this matter was somewhat different from what Mo Yan had thought. Mo Yan had originally nned to check Mo Lian¡¯s phone records and chat records after Mo Lian fell asleep to confirm who wanted to harm her. However, who would have thought that Mo Lian, this idiot, would be able to hold back her sleepiness and call someone? At that time, Mo Yan really wished that she had a brick in her hand to knock her out. ¡°Didn¡¯t our employer only want one person? Why are there two of them?¡± The man¡¯s voice was not soft, so Mo Yan, who was lying in the back seat, could clearly hear their conversation. The other man seemed to think for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Let¡¯s send them over first. The employer can choose.¡± Mo Yan resisted the urge to kick Mo Lian and secretly pinched Mo Lian hard. It seemed that she had been kidnapped again thanks to this fool. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only It seemed that they were still some distance away from where the ¡¯employer¡¯ they were talking about was. Mo Yan thought about what she should do next. It was probably because she and Mo Lian were both unconscious, so the two men did not confiscate their phones. She could still call for help. If she called the police directly, but the two people who kidnapped her did notmunicate with each other, the police might think that it was a prank since they did not hear anything, then she would have missed her chance. If she called someone else, the result would be simr. Mo Yan held the phone in her hand and thought about all the people who she could call, but she still could not decide who to call. Suddenly, Mo Lian moved, giving Mo Yan a new idea¡­ Chapter 134 Chapter 134 ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯re good!¡± Qin Yuan sighed as he sat in front of the surveince camera. Du Jing was also stunned. He had only met Mo Yan once. At that time, he thought that Mo Yan was a polite and dedicated beauty. He did not expect her to have such a side to her. Luo Tao¡¯s gaze fell on the person who was pretending to be asleep on the table. His eyes were filled with gentleness. Because the Grand Court Hotel was the Huo family¡¯s property, the few of them easily entered the surveince room. The Grand Court Hotel only had surveince cameras in the corridors, dining halls, and private rooms. The surveince cameras in the private rooms were usually turned off. Because the Grand Court Hotel was well-organized in terms of personal privacy, many people of high statuses were willing toe here to discuss matters. However, today was an exception. After Luo Tao confirmed the private room number where Mo Yan was from the surveince camera, he asked someone to turn on the surveince camera in the private room. As soon as he turned on the surveince camera, he heard Mo Lian say, ¡°You said that I¡¯m an illegitimate daughter. Your younger brother is not legitimate either. Not only is he an illegitimate child, he¡¯s also an illegitimate child from God knows where.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s eyes darkened. Qin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows. Du Jing, on the other hand, was expressionless. Qin Yuan seized the opportunity to take a few photos. Looking at Mo Yan, who was lying on the table, Luo Tao felt as if his heart had been ruthlessly scratched by someone. Mo Lian¡¯s subsequentints made the three people sitting in front of the monitor look even more annoyed. Luo Tao¡¯s gaze remained on Mo Yan. Qin Yuan¡¯s expression was strange and his eyes revealed some mockery. Du Jing¡¯s eyes were like those of a bystander. ¡°So all illegitimate children live like this! That¡¯s pretty good.¡± Du Jing took a sip of coffee and watched with relish. Qin Yuan nced at him indifferently, the moment he opened his mouth, he exposed Mo Lian. ¡°What are you saying! This woman is very skilled in making up stories. Although I haven¡¯t investigated the Mo family in detail, ording to what I know, this woman¡¯s mother has always been by Mo Dong¡¯s side. She never lived away from her father.¡± Du Jing¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Then would Miss Mo believe what she said?¡± Qin Yuan nced at Luo Tao and then turned his gaze to the surveince camera. Mo Yan¡¯splicated expression indicated that she might really believe it. ¡°Then why did they get divorcedter?¡± The three of them heard Mo Yan ask this question. Qin Yuan was also curious about this question. Although he was sure that 90% of what Mo Lian said was false, she probably would not lie about the reason for the divorce. After all, Mo Yan¡¯s mother did not cry incessantly after the divorce and did not ask for a share of Mo Dong¡¯s property. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Why? I just said the reason! Your younger brother, Mo Cheng, he is not Dad¡¯s child. He is the result from your mother¡¯s affair with someone else!¡± As soon as Mo Lian finished speaking, Luo Tao saw Mo Yan¡¯s shocked eyes. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks In an instant, he did not care about anything else and wanted to immediately rush over to hug this woman who made his heart ache. As soon as Mo Lian said this, Luo Tao¡¯s face turned cold, causing Qin Yuan and Du Jing to look over frequently. It was not until Mo Lian went out to fetch the flowers that the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. Qin Yuan mustered up his courage and said, ¡°Well, brother Huo, we all know that what this person said is all fake. There¡¯s no need to be angry.¡± Luo Tao stared at the surveince camera without answering. Qin Yuan followed his line of sight and happened to see Mo Yan, who was still in a daze, quickly stand up, pick up the red wine and walk to Mo Lian¡¯s seat. In the video, Mo Yan quickly switched all the cutlery between the two of them, muttering to herself. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m an idiot? Why would I fall into a trap again after being tricked before? I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m not a fool. Do you think I¡¯ll believe your nonsense? Ha, she really thought that I didn¡¯t see her eye the wine. We aren¡¯t friends. Did she think I would show up unprepared?¡± Qin Yuan swallowed his saliva and shouted, ¡°Damn! Sister-inw is just pretending! Her acting skills are really good!¡± Du Jing probably didn¡¯t expect such a reversal. He held the coffee cup in his hand for a long time, stunned. The coldness in Luo Tao¡¯s body gradually dissipated. He looked at the busy Mo Yan with a smile in his eyes. If she wanted to survive in the Huo n, she needed to have the ability to protect herself. Although he would do his best to protect her, idents were not something that could be controlled. She needed to always be on guard and not be easily deceived by others. After muttering a few words, Mo Yan seemed to have thought of something, and her hands stopped moving. After a few seconds, she finally swapped thest two pairs of chopsticks. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao was very proud of Mo Yan. ¡°So that bouquet of flowers was sent by Miss Mo?¡± Without giving Luo Tao any time to think, Du Jing asked. As he spoke, Du Jing even took a sip of coffee to calm himself down. Qin Yuan thought of Mo Yan¡¯s series of actions and answered, ¡°Likely. Why else would someone send Mo Lian flowers at such a time?¡± Chapter 135 Chapter 135 ¡°Ah? The stupid woman ising back soon.¡± Suddenly, Qin Yuan noticed on another screen that Mo Lian was walking back with the flowers in her arms, while Mo Yan was sitting in her own seat in the private room. Seeing that neither of them responded to him, Qin Yuan first looked at Luo Tao, who was editing a text message at the moment. ¡°Brother Huo, who are you texting?¡± Qin Yuan stretched his neck to look, but saw nothing, so he added another sentence. ¡°To sister-inw?¡± Luo Tao gave him a cold look. Qin Yuan instantly understand what he meant. Luo Tao was saying, ¡°Sending a text to Mo Yan at this time? Are you stupid?¡± Qin Yuan became listless. As his best friend who had grown up together with him, Qin Yuan often felt distressed that he could instantly understand what his good friend meant without them saying anything. If only he were more like Du Jing, who knew how to be quiet. Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the room. The hotel manager respectfully walked in with a card that was already curled up into a ball. ¡°Fourth Master, is this it?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± When Luo Tao took the card and looked at the contents on it, the manager tactfully left. ¡°Brother Huo, is this the thing that the woman threw?¡± Du Jing craned his neck to take a look, and Qin Yuan followed suit. ¡°Does sister-inw know that there¡¯s someone working with this stupid woman?¡± Qin Yuan asked. Luo Tao¡¯s smile deepened, and he said, ¡°She¡¯s also testing if there is.¡± Qin Yuan nodded to show that he understood, while Du Jing didn¡¯t understand, so he was still waiting for an exnation. ¡°If there¡¯s someone behind this stupid woman, then there¡¯s a high chance that she¡¯ll bring the flowers back when she receives them. If there¡¯s no one, she might think that someone sent the flowers back by mistake when she saw the card on them. Regardless, at least she will have some time to change the cutlery, right?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Qin Yuan exined Mo Yan¡¯s thoughts one by one, causing Du Jing to nod repeatedly. ¡°Brother Huo, it¡¯s not easy to find such a girlfriend!¡± Du Jing eximed. Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles as he watched the woman who was showcasing her acting skills with Mo Lian. Mo Yan brought him many surprises. At first, he thought that she was a kind and innocent girl. Gradually, as they got to know each other, he realized that she also had a prickly side. She would remember the good that others had done for her and return the favor, while she would learn to fight back against those who had offended her. She continued to grow in her work, transforming herself from a seedling that needed to be cared for by others to a big tree that could take care of itself. Qin Yuan happened to catch a glimpse of Luo Tao¡¯s iparably gentle gaze and could not help but shiver. He thought to himself that Huo Zhen was beyond saving. Looking at the surveince camera again, Qin Yuan and Du Jing paid more attention to Mo Yan. When the two of them saw Mo Yan pretending to lie on the table, they knew that the show was about to end. ¡°Brother Huo, why isn¡¯t Miss Mo leaving?¡± Du Jing saw Mo Lian lying on the table, but Mo Yan still didn¡¯t move. He didn¡¯t quite understand what Mo Yan was doing. As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them saw two men walk in from the surveince camera. From the conversation between the men, it could be seen that the original n was that only one of them would faint. Now, something unexpected had happened. When a man carried Mo Yan away, there was a chill in the room N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Qin Yuan and Du Jing carefully nced at Luo Tao¡¯s face. Then, they didn¡¯t dare to look again. They immediately stood up to stop him, but were stopped by Luo Tao. ¡°Drive, follow them.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao guessed that Mo Yan wanted to y it out to find out who was working with Mo Lian. Upon hearing Luo Tao¡¯s order, Qin Yuan hurriedly drove the car while Du Jing followed behind. Meanwhile, Luo Tao sent a photo of Mo Yan being taken away to the person-in-charge of the hotel. [Investigate the mole in the hotel.] It was obvious that Mo Lian¡¯s series of actions today had been arranged in advance. The fact that the two men could easily enter the private room and quickly bring Mo Yan out from the back door of the hotel indicated that someone familiar with the hotel was involved. Under normal circumstances, the back door of the Grand Court Hotel would not be open to guests, so who helped them leave? Chapter 136 Chapter 136 In the car, Mo Yan pretended to yawn and sat up straight. The two men in the front row immediately became alert when they heard Mo Yan¡¯s voice. The man in the passenger seat turned around to look while the man in the driver¡¯s seat looked at her from the rearview mirror. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan seemed to not understand the situation and looked around in confusion. Then, she seemed to have remembered something and asked, ¡°Are you here to pick her up?¡± The two men looked at each other when they heard Mo Yan¡¯s question. The man in the co-pilot seat looked at Mo Yan warily and asked, ¡°Did you make the call just now?¡± Mo Yan nodded. ¡°Yes! Didn¡¯t I ask you to pick her up?¡± From the conversation between the two of them, it was obvious that they had never met Mo Lian before. That was why Mo Yan dared to put on such an act. When the man in the passenger seat heard her words, he gave the man in the driver¡¯s seat a look. ¡°Brothers, why did you bring me here? Can I get out of the car now?¡± Rubbing her temples, Mo Yan put on a drunken and ufortable look. The man in the car was still a little alert as he said, ¡°No, wait until we send the person to our employer before you leave.¡± These two people were the type to do things for money without asking any questions. All they needed to do was to send the person to their employer to get their money. Mo Yan saw that the two people seemed to have let down their guard after listening to her words and did not pay attention to her anymore. She quietly reached her hand out to Mo Lian. She had seen Mo Lian put her phone in her pocket after she made the call. The process of taking the phone was very smooth. Mo Lian did not respond at all. With that, her purpose of following her here was considered aplished. Now, what she needed to do was to leave this ce. In order to make the two of them feel more at ease, Mo Yan said again, ¡°Sigh, I shouldn¡¯t have drunk so much with her. I was told to just get her to fall asleep, but I drank too much.¡± As she spoke, Mo Yan looked out of the window. However, when she looked at Mo Lian, she felt that things were not going well. The car seemed to be driving on a small road, and it was heading towards a more remote ce. She was unfamiliar with Jing City, so she did not know where she was going. ¡°Brothers, where are we going? Why do I feel like it¡¯s so remote!¡± Mo Yan wanted to let their guard down by speaking casually, but this time, the two of them did not even look at her. Seeing that there was no one else on the road, Mo Yan was a little flustered. She did want to know who wanted to harm her, but this was unsafe. Now¡­ ¡°Brothers, I want to go to the toilet. Can you stop for a while? I¡¯ll be back after I go to the toilet!¡± The person in the front passenger seat felt that Mo Yan was very talkative.

Thanks After saying this, Mo Yan felt the speed of the car suddenly increase. Mo Yan almost cursed. What was she going to do? Taking a deep breath, Mo Yan did not dare to make a sound. She held the cell phones and considered the possibility of jumping out of the car. However, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that if she jumped out of the car, not only would she not be able to escape, her identity would also be discovered by them. If she were to call the police, she would be the one suspected for kidnapping¡­ Mo Yan quietly pressed the keyboard. Just as she was one step away from dialing the number, the car stopped. Outside the car window was a vi. It was dark outside. Mo Yan instantly turned off her phone. Her heart was pounding. The employer that the two of them mentioned must know her and Mo Lian. She couldn¡¯t let that person see them. Perhaps they believed in Mo Yan¡¯s act, the driver got out of the car and walked towards the people waiting in front of the vi while the passenger carried Mo Lian. Seeing that Mo Yan was still not getting out of the car, he asked curiously, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to go to the toilet? Why aren¡¯t you getting out of the car?¡± Mo Yan rubbed her stomach and said to the man, ¡°I¡¯m having a stomachache. Let me rest for a while.¡± The moment the man lifted Mo Lian up and closed the car door, Mo Yan jumped from the middle of the two seats in the front to the driver¡¯s seat and locked all the car doors. The man was probably prepared to leave Mo Lian behind before returning to the car, so he did not turn off the engines, which gave Mo Yan an opportunity to take advantage of. Mo Yan quickly put down the handbrake and put reversed the car. No one who was standing guard in front of the vi expected such a turn of events. They were stunned for a few seconds before someone shouted, ¡°Hurry up and chase after her.¡± Mo Yan sessfully drove the car out of the vi¡¯s main entrance. Because it was very remote, there was only one small path. There was no ce to hide. She drove the car as fast as she could and sped on the road.

Following that, there was another violent collision.

When Mo Yan regained consciousness, she felt pain all over her body. Opening her heavy eyes, Mo Yan immediately saw a haggard face. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan called his name softly. Luo Tao looked at her quietly. Countless emotions surged in his eyes, causing Mo Yan to be unable to differentiate between them. ¡°You¡¯re finally awake. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mo Yan wanted to raise her hand to touch his head, but she realized that her hands were already covered in bandages. Swallowing her saliva, Mo Yan coughed lightly. Her throat, which was almost healed, started to hurt again. Luo Tao helped Mo Yan up and let her lean against his chest. He brought the cup to Mo Yan¡¯s mouth. After drinking the entire cup of water, Mo Yan felt a little better. ¡°Why are you apologizing to me? It¡¯s all my fault. If I didn¡¯t try to find out who wanted to harm me, so much wouldn¡¯t have happened.¡± At this point, Mo Yan suddenly remembered Mo Yan¡¯s cell phone that she had been holding in her hand. ¡°Who saved me? And what about the cell phone that I was holding?¡± Mo Yan was leaning against Luo Tao, so she didn¡¯t see Luo Tao¡¯s deep-rooted regret. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Mo Yan didn¡¯t know, but Luo Tao knew that the car that Mo Yan had avoidedst night was driven by Qin Yuan. When he saw Mo Yan¡¯s car rush towards the tree, he was stunned. It was Qin Yuan who nudged him twice before he regained his senses and rushed towards the car that crashed into the tree. When the cars that were chasing Mo Yan saw them, they all turned around and left. ¡°I¡¯m sorry,st night I¡­¡± ¡°Luo Tao, I remember seeing a Beijing J¡¤6618R te number in that vi. This te number is somewhat familiar to me.¡± ¡°Beijing J¡¤6618R?¡± Luo Tao repeated a few numbers. ¡°Yes, who exactly wants to kidnap me?¡± Just as she finished speaking, Mo Yan shook her head. ¡°Wait, Luo Tao, who saved mest night?¡± ¡°It¡¯s¡­¡± Luo Tao was just about to speak when a voice at the door interrupted her.

Perhaps it was because she had many injuries on her body, Mo Yan felt pain everywhere she moved. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Du, for saving my life. If it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t even know if I would still be alive!¡± Mo Yan said sincerely. Du Jing shook his head in shame. ¡°Miss Mo¡­ You got into the car ident while trying to avoid my car. Speaking of which, I have to apologize to you¡­¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t like to exchange pleasantries, so she said directly, ¡°I encountered some bad thingsst night. Even without you, I would have been in danger. Fortunately, you were able to send me to the hospital after I jumped out of the car. I will remember this favor. I owe you one.¡± Seeing that Mo Yan had said this, Du Jing did not say anything more and started to talk about other topics. Du Jing said, ¡°Miss Mo, you must never do such a dangerous act like jumping out of the car again. You really scared mest night.¡± Mo Yan chuckled and replied, ¡°It was just an ident. I only dared to jump when I saw that there was a very thick haystack beside me and there were no obstacles.¡± Her words were not only meant for Du Jing, but also for Luo Tao. She was telling him that she was fine. Actually, Mo Yan still had somemon sense regarding the possibility of death if she jumped out of the car. However, based on the situationst night, even if she was lucky enough to avoid the collision with Du Jing¡¯s car, she would still be caught up by the people behind her. Therefore, after she had paid attention to her surroundings, she chose to jump out of the car and crash it into a tree. With such a car ident, even if the person in the opposite car was not Du Jing but an ordinary person, they would not sit idly by. At the very least, they would call the police and send her to the hospital. As Mo Yan spoke, she coughed a few more times. Seeing this, Du Jing said that he would visit Mo Yan again in two days. However, Mo Yan did not know if it was her misconception, but before Du Jing left, he seemed to nce at Luo Tao. ¡°Luo Tao, what¡¯s wrong? Why haven¡¯t you said anything?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only After Du Jing left, the silence in the ward made Mo Yan a little ufortable. She ced her hand on Luo Tao¡¯s and asked. ¡°I¡¯m scared.¡± Luo Tao buried his head in Mo Yan¡¯s neck. His voice was very soft, but his hands around Mo Yan¡¯s waist were very tight. Mo Yan felt a little pain from his grip, but she didn¡¯t let Luo Tao let go. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I won¡¯t do such a dangerous thing again.¡± Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Everything that had happenedst night had exceeded her expectations. However, in the end, she still had herself to me. She had missed two opportunities to escape safely. One was when she was leaving the room, and the other was when she was calling the police. She put herself in danger. She had overestimated herself. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I wasn¡¯t able to protect you.¡± Luo Tao didn¡¯t sleep the whole night. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s unconscious appearance, Luo Tao kept thinking that if he had arrived faster, would she not have done such a crazy thing? Luo Tao med himself. The reality was that he could do nothing as he looked at Mo Yan on the hospital bed. He had been interrupted twice now. Luo Tao wanted to confess his identity, but he did not seed. ¡°Look, you¡¯re apologizing again. If you really want to me someone, then it should be those who want to harm me. Oh right, have those people been caught?¡± Mo Yan asked this question not only because she wanted to know the answer, but also to divert Luo Tao¡¯s attention. Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s question, Luo Tao¡¯s eyes quickly turned vicious. ¡°We¡¯ve caught the two people who took you away, and we¡¯re still interrogating them.¡± ¡°What about the phone? The phone I was holding should have information about the mastermind.¡± Although Mo Yan was anxious, she still did not mention the name Mo Lian. ¡°The phone was damaged when you jumped out of the car. The police are trying to recover the data.¡± Then, Luo Tao told Mo Yan about what happenedst night. ¡°Why did those people kidnap you?¡± Luo Tao asked. Mo Yan shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know the reason. There¡¯s a password on the phone. I can¡¯t open it.¡± Feeling that Mo Yan had been sitting up for a long time, Luo Tao helped her back to the bed and held her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to C City!¡± Luo Tao knew that Du Jing had interrupted him on purpose. Something must have happened again. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao¡¯s sad expression, and her eyes were a little moist.

First, there was a problem at work, and then there was an ident at the party¡­ Party¡­ Lin Group¡¯s senior management¡­ Jing J¡¤6618R¡­ Something seemed to be connecting in Mo Yan¡¯s mind. Last night, Mo Lian invited her out, wanted to drug her and take her to a vi. So it was to make her hook up with the Lin Group¡¯s young master? This process was really simr to the time when Zhou Shuai plotted against her¡­ Mo Yan¡¯s lips curled into a sneer. She figured out who the mastermind was, and the phone that Mo Lian had used to contact that person was evidence. Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan¡¯s changing expression, and his heart tightened again. At this moment, he suddenly wished that she would turn back into the Mo Yan who did not know anything and needed him to come out to protect her. Mo Yan held Luo Tao¡¯s hand and said with a smile, ¡°Yes, let¡¯s go back to C City.¡± Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s smile, Luo Tao once again thought of Mo Yan lying in his armsst night. No matter how he called her name, she did not react. She was clearly covered in wounds, but she did not show any expression. It was as if she had just fallen asleep, forever asleep. Stroking Mo Yan¡¯s hair, Luo Tao asked softly, ¡°If you know who wanted to harm you, how will you take revenge?¡± Mo Yan looked down. She already knew who wanted to harm her. How would she take revenge? Mo Yan¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°There is evidence in the phone. I think even if I don¡¯t take revenge on them, they will be punished by thew.

He had already remembered whose license te it was. It was not easy to punish the Lin family. But his wife said to follow the legal procedure, so he would do it! He would get people to take care of him. Mo Yan feltfortable being touched by Luo Tao. She rubbed her face coquettishly against Luo Tao¡¯s hand. There were many things that she could not tell Luo Tao aboutst night, and Luo Tao¡¯s not asking made her feel much more rxed. Wait a little longer, just wait. When life calmed down, she would tell Luo Tao everything. She wanted to live with him as Mo Yan. Chapter 139 Chapter 139 After Luo Tao left, Mo Yan was about to call Xu Tian and tell her everything. Because after she realized who wanted to kidnap herst night, she understood that they definitely would not win the project. She had to tell Xu Tian and Li Guoguo the reason. However,pared to Li Guoguo, Mo Yan felt that Xu Tian was much more mature and would be able to handle the news better. To dy Luo Tao froming back so soon, Mo Yan specially sent him a text message before the call, hoping that he would go to Mo Nuan to buy her a drink. After she was ready, Mo Yan dialed the number anxiously. ¡°Hello, Sister Xu, this is Mo Yan.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Tian¡¯s voice was faint on the phone, Mo Yan could tell that Xu Tian was not in a good mood. Thinking back to the conversation that ended on bad terms between the two of them, Mo Yan felt a little awkward. She did not expect so many things to happen. ¡°Sister Xu, is there anyone beside you? I have something to tell you in private.¡± There was a moment of silence on the other side. After a while, Xu Tian said, ¡°There¡¯s no one else.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. After organizing her words, Mo Yan talked about what Chen Ya did before they left C City, as well as her thoughts and what happened after they arrived in Jing City. This included the people she had metst night and the various connections she had with Mo Lian. The conversation took a long time. After Mo Yan finished speaking, Xu Tian was silent for a long time before she asked, ¡°Why are you telling me this?¡± ¡°I think by default we won¡¯t win the project. I hope you can understand.¡± Mo Yan knew that she was trying to shirk responsibility, but she could not let Xu Tian distance herself from her because the project had failed. Xu Tian sneered, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, we would have won the project. Moreover, the enmity with Chen Ya is also a problem between you and Chen Ya. Us losing the project is all your fault. Do you think I can forgive you?¡± Mo Yan frowned slightly and said with a dark expression, ¡°Sister Xu, if you really think that. way, you probably won¡¯t tell me this.¡± ¡°First of all, the personal conflict between me and Chen Ya, to be precise, should be the power struggle between CEO Song and the Deputy General Manager. Expanding into Jing City is rted to the development of thepany. Without the Deputy General Manager¡¯s permission, no matter how much Chen Ya hates me, she wouldn¡¯t dare to tamper with the documents. Second, I don¡¯t believe what you say is what you truly believe. You previously said that you didn¡¯t want us to get the project because of our good rtionship with the Lin Group¡¯s executives. Seeing what type of person the young master is, would you even ept to coborate with Lin Group? Even if we do ept the project, if the Lin family¡¯s young master makes such a request in the future, are you willing to send your subordinates to his bed?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan chuckled as she spoke. On the other side, the corners of Xu Tian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Mo Yan was right. There was no sense of security when working with such a person. Once they took the first step to expand their market into such a circle, Hong Jing would definitely be the Lin family¡¯s young master¡¯s beauty contest venue in the future. However, Xu Tian was not going to let Mo Yan off so easily. She said, ¡°You have no proof. Just based on the license te number alone, you¡¯re saying that the Lin family¡¯s young master harbors ill intentions towards you? Mo Yan, you need evidence to back up your theories.¡± Unlike the time with Zhou Shuai, the reason why Mo Yan took the risk was to obtain evidence, therefore, she could confidently reply to Xu Tian, ¡°Mo Lian¡¯s cell phone data is being repaired. Together with my statement and Mr. Du¡¯s car recording device, the truth should be revealed very soon.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait and see.¡± Xu Tian¡¯s words indicated that this matter could be put aside for the time being. There were other matters that needed to be asked, ¡°Other than these, why are you telling me about your stepsister?¡± When Mo Yan talked aboutst night, she naturally had to mention Mo Lian and Mo Lian¡¯s rtionship with her. ¡°I hope you can help me hide the fact that I¡¯m in the hospital from Guoguo.¡± ¡°Is it because of the way Li Guoguo addressed you?¡± Xu Tian asked. ¡°Not exactly,¡± Mo Yan thought for a moment before answering, ¡°I can only be friends with Guoguo.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

But I don¡¯t dare to be vulnerable with her.¡± Mo Yan smiled bitterly. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not totally dumb.¡± This was Xu Tian¡¯s evaluation of Mo Yan. Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Mo Yan said helplessly, ¡°Sister Xu, were you really angry yesterday? I didn¡¯t go back all night and you didn¡¯t look for me.¡± Xu Tian frowned and said, ¡°Your husband called me yesterday. Didn¡¯t he tell you?¡± Xu Tian¡¯s words surprised Mo Yan. Luo Tao called sister Xu? ¡°Ah! So it¡¯s like that! He might have forgotten to tell me,¡± Mo Yan said. ¡°If everything is as you said, then it¡¯s not only our n, but the n of Chen Ya¡¯s group will also not be approved?¡± Xu Tian pondered and asked. ¡°Probably.¡± Her actionsst night should have thoroughly angered the young master. It seemed that she would return empty-handed this time. Forget it! As long as she was not med. ¡°Okay.¡± After chatting with Xu Tian for a while, Mo Yan hung up the phone. Luo Tao also received a report from his subordinates. Chen Ya and Chen Jin instructed Mo Lian to knock Mo Yan out and send Mo Yan to Lin Peng. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. ¡°How¡¯s the police investigation going?¡± Luo Tao asked with a frown. ¡°It¡¯s not going well. Someone is obstructing it.¡± ¡°Help them.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s frown deepened. ¡°If we help them, the Huo family will notice.¡± Qin Yuan disagreed, and Du Jing nodded as well. Previously, whether it was to protect Mo Yan or to go abroad, Luo Tao had mobilized people who were not in the Huo family¡¯s sights. There were not many people in this group, but they were absolutely loyal. As foreign affairs required people who could be trusted to handle, Luo Tao left many people for Wen Ze, while he himself was somewhatcking in manpower. However, from the way Luo Tao returned to Jing City and pretended to be decadent, if he used the Huo family¡¯s power, it would definitely alert the Huo family¡¯s second and third masters, and then they would target him together. Then everything that he had done before would be useless. ¡°Qin Yuan, let your people do it,¡± Luo Tao said. Qin Yuan sighed and said to Luo Tao, ¡°I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t work this time. Recently, a few forces have been investigating my people. Even my father knows about it, and he even called to ask.¡± Luo Tao seemed to be thinking, Qin Yuan continued, ¡°You know the power of the Huo family. No one dares to interfere. After your car ident, a lot of things happened in Jing City. Everyone thought that you were dead. Many forces within the Huo family have changed.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Qin Yuan¡¯s eyes were filled with helplessness as he spoke. He hoped that Luo Tao would understand and stop insisting. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you haven¡¯t been in contact with little sister-inw ever since you returned to Jing City, they would have already gotten a clear picture of little sister-inw.¡± Knocking on the table, Luo Tao instructed his subordinates, ¡°Give second uncle the project that he wants. Has third uncle already arranged everything?¡± ¡°Yes, Fourth Master.¡± ¡°Okay, have people check on him. If they find something, keep it quiet.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Also, tell Wen Ze to pay more attention to fourth and fifth uncles. Be careful.¡± ¡°Yes, Fourth Master.¡± The subordinates left after receiving the order. Luo Tao rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Other than his few uncles, he also needed to set up a trap to remove the snakes around him. Living in that kind of environment, he had always been vignt, yet people were still able to tamper with his car. Du Jing saw that Luo Tao looked tired and could not help but say, ¡°Why don¡¯t I go to the police station with Miss Mo? Even if I¡¯m not at Lin Peng¡¯s level, I should be able to do at least this much.¡± Luo Tao thought for a moment and nced at Qin Yuan indifferently. ¡°You go.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± The corner of Qin Yuan¡¯s mouth twitched. Why did Huo Zhen need him to go? Just as he was about to refuse, Luo Tao said, ¡°The emperor green ss that you like.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my duty to serve my sister-inw.¡± Without waiting for Luo Tao to finish, Qin Yuan quickly got up and walked to the door. He did not forget to shout, ¡°Huo Zhen! Remember to bring it hereter.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

He couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. ¡°Why did you ask Qin Yuan to go?¡± ¡°Ha! He has a lot of scandals.¡± Luo Tao sneered. It was all thanks to the things Qin Yuan did in C City. Even if someone went to investigate, they would probably think that Qin Yuan was pursuing Mo Yan. The more he thought about it, the more Luo Tao felt that he should beat that idiot up. Du Jing saw that brother Huo had some killing intent when he said the word ¡®scandal¡¯, but he did not understand. In this circle, who did not know that this idiot Qin Yuan loved jewelry more than women? Chapter 141 Chapter 141 In the afternoon, Mo Yan had just sent away the police who hade to question her when an unexpected person greeted her. ¡°Lin Ye? Why are you here?¡± Mo Yan looked at the youth¡¯s slightly pale face in surprise. She did not remember telling Lin Ye that she was hospitalized. Lin Ye looked Mo Yan up and down, and after confirming that she was fine, he said, ¡°I¡¯m here to see you.¡± ¡°To see me?¡± Mo Yan raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°How did you know that I was hospitalized?¡± However, just as she finished asking, she thought of Lin Ye¡¯s identity. She pursed her lips and did not say anything more. ¡°Apart froming to visit you, there¡¯s something else I need to tell you.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Mo Yan replied and waited for him to continue. ¡°This is another project of the Lin family. You can take a look.¡± As he spoke, Lin Ye handed over a document. Mo Yan did not ept it. She only looked at him quietly. After a long while, she said, ¡°Is this compensation? Or is it a bargaining chip for a private settlement?¡± ¡°No.¡± The young man¡¯s tone was calm. ¡°Although the Lin family is protecting Lin Peng now, when the time is right, they will hand him over to you. You can do whatever you want with him.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mo Yan asked with a frown. Did he mean that even if she had the evidence, she could not do anything to Lin Peng? Then why did she take such a big risk? ¡°Miss Mo, you can consider this project.¡± Lin Ye didn¡¯t exin to Mo Yan, but handed over the document again. Mo Yan looked into his calm eyes, an unknown me rose from the bottom of her heart. ¡°Since the Lin family has the ability to suppress the matter, why did youe to me with this thing? Is this a peace offering? Do you want me to forget that he schemed against me? Or do you want to seal my mouth?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s stern questioning caused Lin Ye to frown slightly. He did not mean what Mo Yan thought, it was just that he was not good with words. It was true that the Lin family would protect Lin Peng for the time being due to some reasons, but they knew what Lin Peng had done with the Lin family¡¯s influence all these years. They would stop protecting him after he turned twenty. ¡°You¡¯re overthinking it. I¡¯ve only looked at your n and thought that your n was very good, so I¡¯m giving this to you,¡± Lin Ye lowered his eyes and exined. ¡°Ha! Notpensation? What a weird time to give me this.¡± Mo Yan had a mocking expression on her face. Every time she thought of Lin Ye¡¯s words, she felt like a clown. The so-called evidence that she risked her life to get was a pile of trash. He really was from a wealthy family in Jing City. Even the police investigation could be interfered with. Lin Peng was a rotten person, and the Lin family wasn¡¯t any better! Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Facing Mo Yan¡¯s anger, Lin Ye was even more at a loss for words. It was indeed as Mo Yan had said. His father had only agreed to let him give the project to Mo Yan today because of what Lin Peng did. However, this was also an opportunity. This project was an internal tender of Lin Group. Those who could participate were allpanies that had cooperated with Lin Group before. If the project is sessful, it would be of great help to Mo Yan¡¯s work. ¡°It¡¯s notpensation.¡± After a pause, the youth continued, ¡°Since you¡¯re in a bad mood, I¡¯lle and see you another day.¡± After saying that, he stood up and left. Mo Yan didn¡¯t know if she was mistaken, but she felt that the youth seemed to be a little disappointed. The youth had just when he bumped into Luo Tao. The two of them nced at each other and then brushed past each other. After returning to the ward, Luo Tao noticed the documents on Mo Yan¡¯s bedside table, and his eyes darkened. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Tao asked as he ced the things he bought on the side. Mo Yan¡¯s gaze was also fixed on the documents. She did not say anything and no one knew what she was thinking about. Luo Tao ced hisrge hand on Mo Yan¡¯s forehead and asked, ¡°Are you not feeling well?¡± Mo Yan seemed to have just recovered from the familiar warmth and forced a smile. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Luo Tao passed the lemonade to her, but Mo Yan only held it in her hand. ¡°Did someonee here?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice seemed to be a fuse, instantly igniting the bitterness in Mo Yan¡¯s heart. She couldn¡¯t figure out why she had done everything? Hugging Luo Tao¡¯s waist, Mo Yan buried her face in his arms and asked in a muffled voice, ¡°If I can¡¯t get them punished, then is everything I¡¯ve done worth it?¡± At this moment, Mo Yan was a little lost, as if the faith in her heart had instantly copsed.

Actually, when he met Lin Ye in the corridor, he knew what had happened, but he couldn¡¯t do anything. ¡°Just let it go like this? It¡¯s really unfair.¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s slight sobbing tone, Luo Tao¡¯s heart ached even more. He gently kissed Mo Yan on the top of her head. ¡°I won¡¯t let it go like this. I will make Lin Peng pay the price.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was iparably cold, causing one¡¯s scalp to go numb. Chapter 142 Chapter 142 After crying for a long time, Mo Yan finally stopped. Thinking of Luo Tao¡¯s words just now, she was shocked and hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t do anything stupid. If the worstes to the worst, we will deal with him together.¡± Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s exaggerated expression, Luo Tao couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. Carefully, he pulled Mo Yan back into his arms. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything stupid. With such a good wife, how could I let it go?¡± Mo Yan nodded and grabbed onto Luo Tao¡¯s clothes even more tightly. A warm aura circted between the two of them, and the unwillingness in Mo Yan¡¯s heart slowly dissipated. ¡°There¡¯s something I want to ask you,¡± Luo Tao said. ¡°Hmm?¡± Mo Yan snuggled in his arms and snortedzily. ¡°If, I mean if.¡± Luo Tao emphasized this word twice, causing Mo Yan tough out loud. She straightened up and looked at Luo Tao with a pair of bright eyes. ¡°If, if what?¡± Mo Yanughed. Luo Tao stared at Mo Yan, as if he wanted to remember every single change in her emotions. ¡°If you were really taken away by Lin Pengst night, what would you do?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s pupils instantly constricted. The shadow that Zhou Shuai had on her was brought back to her mind, Mo Yan¡¯s body could not help but tremble. Luo Tao saw her flustered, so he hurriedly hugged Mo Yan again andforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, Don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s my fault, I won¡¯t mention it again.¡± That¡¯s right, she had acted alonest night. What would happen if Lin Peng really caught her? The more Mo Yan thought about it, the more she felt sick to her stomach. She grabbed tightly onto Luo Tao¡¯s clothes and said with a trembling voice, ¡°I won¡¯t do it again. I won¡¯t do it again in the future.¡± She was really lucky to escapest night. Or was she thinking too simply? Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite.

He thought that it was all in the past, but he didn¡¯t expect¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I will apany you wherever you go in the future. I will be by your side.¡± In the future, he would not do such a stupid thing and protect her behind the scenes. No, he would really stand by her side. After Mo Yan calmed down, she said, ¡°I would not let him touch me. I would rather die than be touched.¡± After receiving such an answer, Luo Tao was shocked for a moment. Then, he clenched his fists. ¡°Life is more important than innocence.¡± ¡°Yes, but I don¡¯t want others to touch me. I just want topletely belong to the person I like. Maybe I¡¯m too extreme. If I have to spend the rest of my life in such a shadow, I think it will be very tiring. So, if I encounter danger in the future, you muste out and protect me at the first moment.¡± The corners of Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were somewhat moist for some reason. He was silent for a long time before he hugged Mo Yan¡¯s waist tightly. ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡± He loved this woman, and his heart ached for her. He wanted her to belong to him alone. Suddenly, Luo Tao felt that status was no longer important. If Mo Yan did not ept the real him, then he would use his actions to move her. She could only belong to him alone. ¡°Honey, what do you want to do if we be rich and powerful in the future?¡± ¡°Do what?¡± Mo Yan repeated, she thought for a moment and said, ¡°Rich and powerful!

His eyes were filled with endless tenderness. Luo Tao¡¯s parents had passed away when he was a child. Although his grandfather loved him very much, they were still men after all. They did not know how to show love. Apart from his grandfather, there were not many people in the Huo family who were sincere to him. Living in such an environment, Luo Tao¡¯s emotional state was naturally different from ordinary people. It was only until he met Mo Yan that he changed little by little because of her¡­ Chapter 144 - Ill Spit on You Chapter 144 - I''ll Spit on You The four of them left in two separate times. Xu Tian and Li Guoguo left in the morning, while Mo Yan and Luo Tao left in the evening. Li Guoguo kept everything that she wanted to say inside. Mo Yan sent the two of them off in the airport, while Luo Tao waited not far away. Due to his good looks, Luo Tao attracted the attention of many girls just by standing there, while Li Guoguo kept looking around. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, is that brother-inw? Why didn¡¯t you ask brother-inw toe over too?¡± Mo Yan smiled and said, ¡°He said that there are too many people here. When we return to C City, you guys can meet him.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Hearing Mo Yan say this, Li Guoguo nodded in disappointment. After boarding the ne, Li Guoguo was still curious about the outstanding figure in the crowd. Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Sister Xu, have you seen sister Mo Yan¡¯s husband? Didn¡¯t you say that sister Mo Yan¡¯s husband is a gangster who has been to prison? Why doesn¡¯t he look like one?¡± Xu Tian nced at Li Guoguo indifferently and covered her legs with the nket without answering. Seeing that Xu Tian was about to sleep, Li Guoguo quickly spoke again, ¡°Sister Xu, did sister Mo Yan tell you about her husband? Her husband is tall and handsome, and he gave her such an expensive bracelet. No matter how you look at it, it doesn¡¯t seem like what the rumors say.¡± ¡°Why are you asking about this?¡± Xu Tian felt that something was wrong with Li Guoguo¡¯s words and asked. ¡°I¡¯m just curious! Sister Xu, you don¡¯t know, but when sister Mo Yan and I went shopping on the first day, her husband was afraid that she didn¡¯t have enough money to buy things in Jing City, so he specially transferred 20,000 yuan to her. Where did sister Mo Yan find such a good husband? I want one too! He¡¯s handsome, rich, and dotes on his wife. He¡¯s really the perfect boyfriend in my heart.¡± Li Guoguo put on a look of longing, but the jealousy in her eyes didn¡¯t escape the eyes of Xu Tian, who had been wandering the workce for many years. Xu Tian saw right through her She didn¡¯t know what to say. The corner of Xu Tian¡¯s mouth curled up slightly in an unnoticeable arc. ¡°Yes, such a husband is indeed very good.¡± ¡°Right! So when sister Mo Yanes back, you must ask her to introduce her husband to us. Otherwise, I will be angry.¡± Li Guoguo pouted and said unhappily. ¡°Why?¡± Xu Tian asked.

Thanks ¡°Why are you angry because she didn¡¯t introduce him to you?¡± Li Guoguo was stumped by the question. She thought for a moment before exining, ¡°Because, because we are good friends! How can she not introduce me to such a good husband?¡± ¡°Introduce you? And then make you miss her husband?¡± Xu Tian directly exposed Li Guoguo¡¯s thoughts. Li Guoguo¡¯s expression froze, and then she frowned and asked back. ¡°Sister Xu, what do you mean?¡± ¡°No matter how good Mo Yan¡¯s husband is, he¡¯s still Mo Yan¡¯s. No matter if he¡¯s tall, short, fat, or thin, he¡¯s still your friend¡¯s husband. Do you think it¡¯s good for you to keep talking about other people¡¯s husbands behind their backs?¡± As she spoke, Xu Tian¡¯s gaze had alreadynded on Li Guoguo¡¯s face. Li Guoguo felt a little ufortable being stared at, so she awkwardly avoided Xu Tian¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯m just curious. I don¡¯t have any other intentions, sister Xu,¡± Li Guoguo said with a dry smile. ¡°Well, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t. Otherwise, if you have any thoughts, I¡¯ll spit on you.¡± Xu Tian closed her eyes and pulled up the nket. She turned around and buried herself in it. She had nothing else to say to Li Guoguo. The moment Xu Tian turned around, a storm quickly appeared in Li Guoguo¡¯s eyes. There was hatred, disgust, jealousy, and all sorts of emotions. Even as she gritted her teeth, she could not control the gradually distorted expression on her face. From the beginning, Xu Tian and Mo Yan were like two high and mighty luminaries, while she was invisible and was looked down upon by others. Li Guoguo clenched her fists and red at the back of Xu Tian¡¯s head¡­ After leaving the airport, Mo Yan did not know where to go. Their flight was at night, and they still had the whole afternoon. ¡°Those two are Xu Tian and Li Guoguo? Which one is the short one?¡± Luo Tao suddenly asked while holding Mo Yan¡¯s hand. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°The short one carrying the pink suitcase is Li Guoguo, and the tall one with the gold-rimmed sses is Xu Tian. Why?¡± Luo Tao had shown that he was not interested before, but now he was asking about them? This made Mo Yan feel a little confused. ¡°I feel that Li Guoguo¡¯s gaze towards me is a little inappropriate.¡± ¡°Inappropriate? You mean she¡¯s curious about you? That¡¯s right. She has been curious about you ever since she knew that you are so nice to me.¡± Seeing that Mo Yan was smiling without a care in the world, the corners of Luo Tao¡¯s mouth also curled up. He touched her head and did not continue this topic. Chapter 145 - Welcome Home Chapter 145 - Wee Home In the afternoon, Mo Yan and Luo Tao strolled around Jing City and bought some specialty products for her mother and Mo Cheng. She didn¡¯t believe everything Mo Lian said. In the evening, the two of them arrived at the airport two hours earlier. Mo Yan didn¡¯t know why, but she felt that Luo Tao seemed a little ufortable. ¡°Luo Tao, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Yan asked. Luo Tao frowned and looked around. He shook his head and said, ¡°Nothing.¡± In the past, he usually took a private ne or a first-ss cabin. This was the first time that he had waited for him in the airport lobby like this. Mo Yan thought of the high-speed train that he took to the capital city. He should have never taken a ne before, so she understood his difort. Although the two of them had very different thoughts, they came to the same conclusion, which was that they would not continue this topic. Before boarding the ne, Mo Yan vaguely mentioned a few things about taking a ne. Luo Tao found it funny at first, but when he thought about Luo Tao¡¯s identity, he understood her intention. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. It was already veryte when the two of them arrived in C City, so they directly took a taxi back to their small rental house. / The moment the lights were turned on, Mo Yan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and hugged Luo Tao, saying, ¡°Wee home.¡± Luo Tao was stunned by her sudden action, then he chuckled and said, ¡°You too, wee home.¡± The house was not big, but it was a ce that could be called home by the two of them. The two of them had been tormenting themselves for the whole day. Mo Yan originally wanted to make some supper, but was stopped by Luo Tao, who told her to wash up first while he ordered two takeout meals. Taking a shower was not a problem, but her injuries were notpletely healed. It would hurt if she touched them. Standing in front of the mirror, Mo Yan looked at the wounds all over her body and could not help but sigh. For the past few days, she had used a towel to wipe her body. She had the help of the nurses in the hospital, but now only she and Luo Tao were left¡­ Mo Yan did not have a n, so she could only wash the other parts of her body first. The moment the water rushed into her body, Mo Yan suddenly shivered. There were only three words in her mind. It really hurt. After about half an hour, Mo Yan had washed the other parts of her body, but the injury on her back was still difficult for her to clean. If she did not clean her body, it would be difficult to apply medicine. Seeing that the sound of washing had stopped and Mo Yan still did note out, Luo Tao could not help but ask what was wrong. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan¡¯s face was flushed red. It seemed that there was only one way now. After thinking for a long time, Mo Yan finally opened her mouth, ¡°Luo Tao, can you help me wipe my back?¡± Because Mo Yan¡¯s voice was soft through the door, Luo Tao only knew that she was talking and didn¡¯t hear clearly what she said, so Luo Tao walked to the door and asked again. ¡°I said, can you help me wipe my back? Otherwise, I can¡¯t apply the medicine.¡± The more Mo Yan spoke, the redder her face became. It was as if blood was dripping from it. Luo Tao, who was outside the door, seemed to be stunned as well. He did not make a sound for a long time. Just as Mo Yan was about to think of another way, Luo Tao opened his mouth. His voice seemed to be a little hoarse. ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan used a towel to cover her body. When she opened the door, the redness on her face had already spread throughout her entire body. Along with the cover of the water vapor, she seemed to have be a ripe fruit, waiting to be picked. Luo Tao¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple rolled. His mouth was dry and his tongue was parched. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. ¡°Luo¡­ Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan became even more shy from being stared at. Her voice even trembled slightly. ¡°Sit properly. I¡¯ll help you wipe your back.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan bit her lower lip and nodded. Mo Yan turned the joint of the towel behind her and sat on the stic stool. She used her arms to mp the towel on both sides to prevent it from falling off, only revealing her snow-white back. Luo Tao stared at Mo Yan¡¯s every move, and his Adam¡¯s apple moved even more violently. His gaze followed the back of Mo Yan¡¯s head and slid down to her fair neck. Below her was her fair shoulders that were as smooth as jade, and further down, the wounds that he saw made the thoughts in Luo Tao¡¯s mind instantly disappear without a trace. Seeing his expression, Mo Yan asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Luo Tao did not answer. Instead, he ced a warm hand on Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder, causing Mo Yan to tremble uncontrobly. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was soft as she softly called out the name of the person behind her. ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was filled with pity. Mo Yan resisted the urge to cry and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± Chapter 146 - You Are Mine Chapter 146 - You Are Mine Luo Tao wet the towel and gently wiped Mo Yan¡¯s back, as if he was facing a precious piece of porcin, afraid that he might identally break it. The two of them did not speak, and the bathroom was extremely quiet. In the end, Mo Yan could not help but open her mouth, ¡°Luo Tao, I¡¯m really fine. These injuries will heal very quickly.¡± Touching the wound, Luo Tao¡¯s heart was aching, and he could only reply with an ¡®Mm¡¯. After thinking for a while, Mo Yan brought up another topic. ¡°I mentioned the new project from Lin Group to sister Xu this morning.¡± ¡°Mm, what do you mean?¡± Luo Tao knew that she wanted to change the topic, so he went along with her. ¡°Sister Xu said to let CEO Song take a look first before deciding whether to ept it or not, but I have a feeling that CEO Song will ept it. The project is not bad. Lin Ye will be the one who works with us on it. There won¡¯t be a situation like Lin Peng¡¯s.¡± ¡°How did you meet Lin Ye?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s tone was t. Mo Yan raised her eyebrows. She felt that it was too troublesome to talk about the issue of being kidnapped and him having a phobia, so she decided to say something simple. ¡°We met at a cocktail party. He felt that our n was not bad, so we chatted a little more.¡± ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s tone was confusing. Unable to figure out what Luo Tao was feeling, Mo Yan nodded. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s it.¡± Because her back was facing Luo Tao, Mo Yan could not see Luo Tao¡¯s gloomy expression. He knew that Lin Ye and Lin Peng were not close. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. Luo Tao had met him a few times. Although they had exchanged greetings, they had only met before. How did Mo Yan end up talking to him? Qin Yuan did not have any news of Mo Yan having contact with the Lin family. However, he could not ask anything because of Luo Tao¡¯s identity. After the wounds on her back were cleaned, Luo Tao carefully applied the medicine. ¡°Is it done?¡± Although Luo Tao thought a lot, Mo Yan did not have too many thoughts. She was focused on the person behind her. ¡°Yes.¡± After saying that, Luo Tao gently kissed Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder. His lips slowly slid to Mo Yan¡¯s neck and kissed and licked, leaving clear hickeys. ¡°Luo, Luo Tao, Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan felt her heart beating rapidly, and her body temperature rose as well. Luo Tao¡¯s hand was wrapped around her waist, only separated by ayer of towel. His hand rubbed against her waist. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Luo Tao felt that he was changing a lot. Just hearing the names of other men would make him feel jealous. It seemed that from the moment she woke up from her injury, or more urately, when she said ¡°Completely belong to the person I like,¡± she had personally released the beast in his heart. He wanted to monopolize her, so that his name was the only one in her eyes, heart, and mouth. Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, he did not want her to look at them. Luo Tao¡¯s lips moved around Mo Yan¡¯s neck. His warm breath made her body go soft. Mo Yan felt his hand on her waist move up bit by bit, stopping on her chest and trying to massage it. ¡°Luo Tao, don¡¯t.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t what?¡± The warmth from Luo Tao¡¯s breath seeped into Mo Yan¡¯s ears, causing her body to tremble. He increased the strength of his hand, and intermittent moans continued to flow out of Mo Yan¡¯s mouth. Sucking on Mo Yan¡¯s earlobe, Luo Tao left a shallow bite mark on it. Luo Tao¡¯s tongue moved over Mo Yan¡¯s ear, slowly entering her ear. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Mo Yan seemed to have woken up from a dream. She took away Luo Tao¡¯s hand and suddenly stood up and turned around. Her bathrobe fell off. Luo Tao was originally squatting behind her when suddenly, her snow-white body waspletely exposed in front of Luo Tao. Luo Tao¡¯s gaze moved up. When their eyes met, Mo Yan could clearly hear his swallowing sound. Mo Yan turned red. She quickly picked up the towel on the ground and was about to open the door when Luo Tao grabbed her. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s gaze was deep, as if he wanted to swallow Mo Yan into his stomach and leave nothing behind. Mo Yan lowered her head and said softly, ¡°Someone is knocking on the door. I¡¯ll go open the door.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

I¡¯ll go and open the door.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan nodded before Luo Tao let her go. Chapter 147: Threat Chapter 147: Threat The next day, following what Xu Tian said, Mo Yan handed the project document to CEO Song. CEO Song did not say anything after reading it, but told Mo Yan not to take this matter to heart. As for the project that Mo Yan brought over, Song Yun said that she would investigate it in detail before making a decision. Mo Yan nodded to show that she understood. However, what surprised Mo Yan was that there was no gossip at thepany during this trip to Jing City. On the contrary, because of her short absence, the rumors in thepany about her were much less. When Mo Yan went downstairs to her office, she met Zhou Shuai, who had been in the hospital for a long time. It seemed like he was intentionally waiting for her. ¡°Come with me.¡± Although many people in thepany stopped looking down on Mo Yan¡¯s position because of this business trip, on the surface, Zhou Shuai was still one level higher than her. She still needed to listen to some orders. Following Zhou Shuai into his office, this time, Mo Yan was not as reserved as before. She had experienced things like being kidnapped, jumping out of a car, and offending the Lin family¡¯s young master. How could she be afraid of a mere Zhou Shuai? Sitting opposite Zhou Shuai, Mo Yan waited for this person to speak with a calm expression. ¡°It was you who sent Chen Ya to the police station?¡± Zhou Shuai asked with a gloomy expression. He did not look at all pleased. The corners of Mo Yan¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. She smiled at Zhou Shuai and said, ¡°What are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°Mo Yan, don¡¯t y dumb. What exactly is going on?¡± Zhou Shuai growled in a low voice. He stared at Mo Yan Like a caged beast. He had not been living well during this period of time. Previously, he had relied on his identity as the supervisor and Chen Ya¡¯s boyfriend to do whatever he wanted in thepany. Now, due to Chen Ya¡¯s imprisonment and the fact that he had been hospitalized twice, the power in his hands had been divided, causing him to be hindered in every way he wanted to do. Initially, he had nned to stand firm and kick Chen Ya out, but now it seemed that he still had to endure Chen Ya for a period of time. ¡°Supervisor Zhou, since you¡¯re so worried about your girlfriend, why don¡¯t you go to Jing City to take a look yourself?¡± Mo Yan was not moved by Zhou Shuai¡¯s attitude and continued to respond in a tepid manner. Zhou Shuai and Mo Yan looked at each other, as if an argument was about to break out. Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s cold expression, Zhou Shuai suddenly softened his tone and said to Mo Yan, ¡°Mo Yan, Chen Ya indeed has many inappropriate actions. I apologize to you on her behalf. As long as you¡¯re willing to withdraw the case, no matter whatpensation you want, we can satisfy you.¡± ¡°Apologize? You want to apologize to me on behalf of Chen Ya?¡± Mo Yan said with a mocking smile. ¡°Would Chen Ya agree?¡± ¡°And Supervisor Zhou, don¡¯t be too full of yourself. Ha! If I tell you that thepensation I want is for Chen Ya to be locked up for the rest of her life, will you satisfy me?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Mo Yan! Don¡¯t go too far. Chen Ya has a straightforward personality. Do you n to scheme against her like this? Do you know that if she goes to jail, she will be ruined!¡± Zhou Shuai mmed the table and stood up, his eyes ring fiercely at the woman sitting opposite him. ¡°Go too far? Straightforward personality? Scheme? You must not be talking about the same person as me. Since Chen Ya was able to n the kidnapping, she should have thought of the consequences. Going to jail is the punishment she deserves.¡± Mo Yan said coldly. ¡°Mo Yan, we are colleagues in the samepany, why do you have to be so ruthless? Let¡¯s take a step back.¡± ¡°No, I would rather eat vegetarian food for the rest of my life in exchange for not seeing you guys again.¡± Seeing that Mo Yan refused to ept his proposal, Zhou Shuai was also angered and warned, ¡°Fine! Mo Yan, good job! Let¡¯s settle this matter along with the two times that you hit me.¡± ¡°No problem, Supervisor Zhou. I¡¯ll wait and see. But I advise you not to do anything illegal. Be careful that you don¡¯t get yourself involved with Chen Ya as well.¡± Not giving Zhou Shuai a chance to speak harshly, Mo Yan turned around and left. Why did Mo Yan leave so quickly? What a joke. She had already said her piece. If she didn¡¯t leave quickly, Zhou Shuai, this despicable person, might make a move on her? Anyway, she never believed that a person like Zhou Shuai would not hit women. Bang! As expected, just as Mo Yan closed the door, she heard the sound of something being smashed from inside. Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org. With a smile on her lips, Mo Yan walked to the office in a good mood. When Mo Yan walked into the office, she was surprised to find that Team A was very full today. Did no one have anything to do? Mo Yan muttered in her heart. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only While Mo Yan was puzzled, everyone in the office was also sizing her up with either implicit or direct gazes. Ever since she came to thepany, there had been a lot of trouble. However, what made everyone sigh the most was Mo Yan¡¯s persistence and her unique luck. Previously, she was able to sign a contract in such a controversial environment. This time, she even got Chen Ya, who was against her, into the police station. Her ability was really not to be underestimated. If one had to ask how thepany knew about Chen Ya¡¯s entry into the police station so quickly, it was all thanks to the other people who went to Jing City with the two sales teams. Even though Chen Jin had tried to cover up the news, it was still inevitable for the information to be revealed. Chapter 148: Bad News Chapter 148: Bad News Without Chen Ya and Mo Lian, Mo Yan lived a veryfortable life. Every day, Luo Tao would pick her up on time. Even if there was overtime, Luo Tao would wait for her. While she was discussing business with others, he would sit at a shop a little further away with his computer. At night, the lights in the coffee shop would turn on. The warm halo shone on the side of his face. Through the ss window, Mo Yan was lost in thought. She could not believe that such a handsome and perfect man was actually her husband. What good thing had she done in her past life to be able to marry him? When Luo Tao noticed that she was infatuated with him, he would give her a gentle smile, causing Mo Yan¡¯s heart to beat wildly. Actually, on the night that they almost did the deed, the person who knocked on the door was the delivery man, and the two of them did not continue. Luo Tao had also told her about Chen Ya when the two of them were eating. Although they could not touch Lin Peng, Chen Ya and Mo Lian would still be dealt with ording to thew. Just when Mo Yan thought that her life was getting better, a piece of news came¡­ ¡°What did you say! Chen Ya was released?¡± The sudden news made Mo Yan lose control of her voice, which attracted the attention of the people who were eating. Xu Wan quickly gestured for her to lower her voice. ¡°Don¡¯t be so agitated. I only heard the news, but I didn¡¯t see her.¡± At the same time, Luo Tao also received the news. ¡°The Lin family is protecting the two women?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was as cold as ice, making Qin Yuan feel a chill behind his back. Swallowing his saliva, Qin Yuan said gloomily, ¡°That¡¯s right! They¡¯ve even contacted my father and he told me not to interfere.¡± ¡°Why is the Lin family protecting them?¡± It was understandable that they would protect Lin Peng, but to protect those two women? ¡°I heard from my father that the head of the Lin family came personally. He hoped that my family would not interfere. He said that he would give an exnation a yearter.¡± Not only that, what gave Qin Yuan a headache was that his father thought that he had taken a liking to Mo Yan and told him not to be too serious. ¡°What happened before?¡± ¡°Chen Jin went to the Lin family,¡± Qin Yuan answered quickly. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Luo Tao narrowed his eyes. It seemed that Qin Yuan had also noticed the abnormality in this matter. What did he mean a yearter? ¡°Huo Zhen, what are you going to do? Go against the Lin family? I don¡¯t quite agree with you. If the Lin family makes a move against you, your uncles will notice.¡± Luo Tao rubbed his temples, which were throbbing all of a sudden, and said, ¡°Let me think about it.¡± After hanging up the phone, Luo Tao closed his eyes and leaned against the sofa. If it was before, he would have agreed with Qin Yuan without hesitation. But now, whenever he thought about what those people did to Mo Yan, he wanted to tear them apart. On this day, the couple went home in silence. They did not know how to tell each other about this matter. The development of the matter was a little faster than everyone expected. Two dayster, Mo Yan saw Chen Ya, who was still arrogant in her red dress, at thepany. And when Chen Ya saw Mo Yan, she was like an angry hen. She pped her wings and rushed towards Mo Yan. ¡°Mo Yan, you bitch, how dare you scheme against me!¡± Mo Yan grabbed her wrist. ¡°Chen Ya, do you still want to stay in there for a few more days? If you want, I¡¯ll fulfill your wish.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so smug! I¡¯ll teach you a lesson in the future.¡± After saying that, she fiercely shook off Mo Yan¡¯s hand.

I¡¯ll go over right now.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan was about to call Luo Tao again, but her hands suddenly stopped moving. All kinds of images shed through her mind. Some were of her caring for Mo Cheng, and some were of her confronting Mo Lian. So, did Luo Tao already know her identity? Mo Yan didn¡¯t dare to confirm, so she could only suppress her fear and put her phone back into her clothes. Then, she asked Xu Wan to help her apply for leave, and left thepany in a hurry. ¡­ At this moment, in the neighborhood where Mo Yan used to live, Mo Lian was blocking the entrance of the corridor with a group of people. Mo Lian was livid. Not only the residents in the building, even the people she brought to bring her things over looked at her with a strange gaze. This made Mo Yan angry.

But to Mo Lian¡¯s surprise, the person Mo Cheng called first was not Mo Yan¡­ ¡°Brother-inw.¡± Mo Cheng, who was anxiously waiting for Mo Yan on the third floor, saw the man and his eyes lit up as he called out. Although the man was only wearing a white shirt and ck trousers, he was extremely eye-catching. The surrounding crowd unconsciously opened up a path for him to walk to the entrance of the corridor. ¡°Move aside.¡± Luo Tao looked at the woman who had caused trouble the moment she came out. Mo Lian stared at the man in front of her in a daze. Thest time she saw the man, she sent someone to investigate him. The information she obtained indicated that he was Luo Tao. And this was something that Luo Tao had thought of long ago. In order to prevent people from suspecting him, he had made up false information. After confirming that Luo Tao had indeed done a lot of terrible things, Mo Lian finally let go of her thoughts about Luo Tao. However, this sight made Mo Lian a little restless. ¡°Are you really her husband, Luo Tao?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Luo Tao did not answer. Seeing that Mo Lian was still blocking in front of him, he wanted to turn around and enter. He would noty a hand on a woman. ¡°Stop him, don¡¯t let him enter!¡± Mo Lian saw that Luo Tao was treating her like air again, and her anger rushed to the top of her head. This time, Mo Lian did not only bring the people who moved, but also some of the thugs she had hired. These people knew best how to make people ¡®identally¡¯ get hurt. She brought these people here to teach Mo Yan a lesson. That night, she woke up in an unfamiliar vi and saw the Lin family¡¯s young master sitting on the sofa with a vicious expression. Although Mo Lian was stupid and vicious, she quickly realized that she had been yed by Mo Yan. The Lin family¡¯s young master did not say anything and directly sent her back to the hotel. However, not long after that, the police came to question her. She pretended to be unwell and escaped the first time. After she told her parents about the incident, the two of them asked her to not tell the truth no matter what. She only told the police that she did not know anything and fainted after eating. As this was also the truth, the police could not interrogate her further. The second time, someone brought her away for interrogation. Initially, she could not hold on any longer and wanted to tell them everything. However, someone came to tell her that her phone had not been repaired. Now that there was no concrete evidence, she grit her teeth and say that she did not know anything. Mo Lian was still acquitted in the end. On the first day she returned, Mo Lian came here and vowed to take revenge for what happened in Jing City. Her goal was to get back the house that Mo Yan¡¯s family was staying in. When the time came, she would have Mo Yan roll down a flight of stairs. It would be best if she could fall into a vegetative state or a half-paralyzed state. Mo Lian¡¯s n was good, but she did not expect Mo Yan to give her a warning before he arrived. She had no choice but to give up on directly opening the Mo Yan family¡¯s door with violence. However, Mo Lian was pleasantly surprised that Mo Cheng was also there. It would be best if she could take care of the two of them together. Luo Tao looked coldly at the few tall men in front of him. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°I¡¯ll say it for thest time, get lost.¡± The few burly men stood at the door without moving. They looked at Luo Tao with clear contempt. Luo Tao moved his wrists a few times, but they remained expressionless. One of the men could not hold it in and said, ¡°What? With your small body, you still want to fight with us?¡± Seeing that someone spoke first, the rest of the people did not remain silent. Theyughed even more mockingly at Luo Tao. Chapter 150: Who Dared to Enter Chapter 150: Who Dared to Enter ¡°All of you attack together?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s tepid words and his seemingly ant-like expression instantly ignited the few of them. A man raised his fist and punched at Luo Tao. Mo Yan happened to see this scene. Before she could even scream, she saw Luo Tao kick the man¡¯s knee. With a crack, the sound of bones breaking was exceptionally clear in this quiet environment. As the onlookers had already dispersed when they saw that the situation, only Luo Tao, Mo Yan, Mo Lian, and the people she had brought with her were left in front of the corridor. No one had expected Luo Tao to be so ruthless, and they were all stunned for a few seconds. It was not until the man with the broken bones let out a wail that the others regained their senses. This time, no one rushed up one by one, and all of them pounced on him. Mo Yan felt that her heart was about to stop. She watched helplessly as a man¡¯s fist came at Luo Tao. Luo Tao turned around and kicked the man¡¯s side face. The man was kicked to the ground. From the man¡¯s action of coughing up blood, it could be seen how much strength Luo Tao used. Then, he punched another man¡¯s face. That man¡¯s nose bridge was hit hard, and he let out a shrill cry. After beating down four people in a row, the remaining two looked at Luo Tao as if they were looking at a demon. It was clearly a fierce fight, but there was not a trace of emotion in Luo Tao¡¯s eyes, as if he was facing a group of people he already considered dead. If one ignored the blood stains on his fist, one would not be able to tell that he had fought with someone before. ¡°You¡¯re not fighting anymore?¡± Raising his hand to look at the blood stains on the back of his hand, Luo Tao frowned slightly. Seeing that the person in front of him did not speak, Luo Tao was about to go upstairs when he was suddenly stopped by a voice. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Tao¡¯s body instantly stiffened. He was originally dissatisfied with the Lin family releasing Chen Ya and Mo Lian. Mo Cheng gave him a call and gave him an opportunity to vent, so he did not notice Mo Yan¡¯s arrival when he attacked them. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Luo Tao subconsciously put his hands behind his back to prevent Mo Yan from seeing the blood on his hands. The way his eyes drooped made Mo Yan mistakenly think that she had seen a child who had made a mistake. ¡°Yes.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan walked to his side, took out a tissue, and smiled at him lightly, ¡°Hand.¡± Luo Tao obediently extended his hand to her, making the smile on Mo Yan¡¯s face be even more obvious. After wiping off the stains on Luo Tao¡¯s hand bit by bit, Mo Yan pulled Luo Tao up the stairs as if she didn¡¯t see Mo Lian, leaving Mo Lian and the others standing there like clowns. ¡°Sister!¡± Before Mo Yan reached the third floor, she heard Mo Cheng call out cheerfully. Mo Yan walked a few steps to Mo Cheng¡¯s side and pulled him around. When she saw that Mo Cheng was fine, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh in relief. Ever since the bullying incident, Mo Yan had always been worried that something would happen to Mo Cheng. ¡°Why did you suddenlye back here?¡± Mo Yan asked Mo Cheng with a mixture of concern and me. ¡°Isn¡¯t today Saturday? I just came back to take a look.¡± After Mo Cheng¡¯s reminder, Mo Yan remembered that today was his rest day. It was right for Mo Cheng toe back. She just didn¡¯t expect to bump into Mo Lian so coincidentally. ¡°Thank God nothing happened to you. What would I do if something happened to you?¡± Mo Yan was relieved and sat down on the sofa. Ever since Mo Cheng called her, her heart had been on edge. Here, she saw Luo Tao fighting with others, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Now that she knew that everything was fine, she feltpletely exhausted. Luo Tao sat beside Mo Yan and hugged her to gentlyfort her. Before the three of them could finish speaking, the loud banging on the door resounded throughout the corridor. ¡°Mo Yan!

However, she immediately met Luo Tao¡¯s pair of eyes that were filled with disdain, and in an instant, it was as if an explosive barrel had been ignited. ¡°You¡¯re Luo Tao, right? Hah.

She did not want the couple to be harmonious. ¡°Then who is the real daughter of the Mo Family?¡± Luo Tao reached out to stop Mo Yan who wanted to p Mo Lian and asked calmly.

Then why did Mo Yan marry me?¡± ¡°This, this is because back then, Mo Yan used my father¡¯s mistake to threaten the Mo family, so he let her marry you.¡± Upon hearing Luo Tao¡¯s words, Mo Lian¡¯s expression instantly became a little flustered.

However, Mo Yan doesn¡¯t look like she has any power to force anyone?¡± Luo Tao said as he swept his gaze behind Mo Lian. Although his expression was indifferent, it scared the people behind Mo Lian enough to take a step back.

You don¡¯t even know who your father is!¡± Mo Lian was still shouting vigorously and wanted to use even more vicious words to attack Mo Cheng, but she did not expect the sound of sirens from downstairs. ¡­ After the three of them were questioned, it was already evening when they returned to their residence. Mo Yan didn¡¯t dare to let Mo Cheng live alone, so she brought Luo Tao back here. In the police station, including Mo Lian, none of them mentioned the Mo family¡¯s scandal. It was meaningless to bring this up in front of more people, so they just casually said some reasons for their argument. The police could only nag them a little, emphasizing the consequences of breaking into private homes to Mo Lian. As for the few people who were beaten up, because they were the ones who took the initiative to attack first, Luo Tao was acting in self-defense, so the matter was disregarded.

He understood what Luo Tao said, but didn¡¯t that sound like he was trying to please others? ¡°When the situation is not favorable, making some allies will turn the situation around.¡± Although Mo Cheng didn¡¯t ask, Luo Tao still said it. Actually, when he was talking to Luo Tao, Mo Cheng had already thought it through. There were many things that he could not change and could not ept, so he might as well choose to move on. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only He was still him. Mo Cheng nodded and did not say anything more. He waved his hand at Mo Yan and walked into the campus with his suitcase. Luo Tao had just walked to the seat opposite Mo Yan and sat down. A cup of coffee was ced in front of him. Luo Tao took a sip. It was the taste that he often drank when he was with Mo Yan. ¡°Why did you guys talk for such a long time? What did you talk about?¡± Mo Yan asked curiously. Luo Tao just smiled and said meaningfully, ¡°You don¡¯t need to know about man-to-man conversations.¡± Chapter 155: Investigate the Mo Family Chapter 155: Investigate the Mo Family In the afternoon, Mo Yan had something to do at thepany and needed to leave. Luo Tao went to Qin Yuan¡¯s office. The people in the Jade shop knew that this was young master Qin¡¯s friend, so they immediately led him to Qin Yuan¡¯s office. ¡°Come in.¡± After the secretary knocked on the door, Luo Tao heardzy words. Qin Yuan thought that it was a customer, so he pretended to drink tea. When he saw Luo Tao, Qin Yuan¡¯s forehead twitched. He hadn¡¯t seen Huo Zhen recently. He waved his hand to dismiss the secretary. Qin Yuan saw Luo Tao pick up the teapot in front of him and pour himself a cup of tea out of habit. ¡°Fourth master Huo, how did you know I was back in C City?¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°Du Jing called me right after you left.¡± When he found out the reason, Qin Yuan immediately cursed Du Jing in his heart. ¡°Fourth master Huo, what do you want this time?¡± Qin Yuan asked helplessly. / Luo Tao nced at Qin Yuan. ¡°Can¡¯t Ie to see you without any reason?¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s eyes widened at this answer. Why would Huo Zhen think of him when he had nothing to do? Usually, he would either give orders to his subordinates or hang out with Mo Yan. Why would he think of him? Qin Yuan thought about it and said, ¡°Why would a busy man like you think of me when you have nothing to do? Do you really have nothing for me to do today?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t, but seeing your disappointment, I thought of something.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s teasing of Qin Yuan was urate, and Qin Yuan¡¯s face instantly fell. ¡°I knew it. You have something for me to do.¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s mournful face made Luo Taough. ¡°Help me look into the Mo family.¡± ¡°Ah? Haven¡¯t you already looked into them?¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s face was full of disdain. It would be demeaning to have him look into such a small family. ¡°I¡¯m talking about matters from more than ten years ago, Mo Dong and his ex-wife,¡± Luo Tao said calmly. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Qin Yuan almost spat out a mouthful of tea. What was Huo Zhen doing? He previously investigated Mo Yan. Now, he even wanted to look into her mother? Was he going to investigate everyone in the Mo family? Facing Qin Yuan¡¯s strange gaze, Luo Tao was also a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°Yesterday, Mo Lian went to cause trouble with Mo Yan and dug up old grudges. I¡¯m a little curious.¡± ¡°Oh, if you¡¯re curious, then go and investigate! Are you curious about the space satellite? Find someone to send you there to take a look?¡± Qin Yuan had been ordered around by Luo Tao recently, and his mouth became more and more cheeky. Luo Tao looked at Qin Yuan coldly, and Qin Yuan shivered from the cold, he quickly tried to remedy the situation, ¡°Brother Huo, you may be curious, but you still have to leave some privacy for sister-inw, right? You want to investigate and let sister-inw have no secrets at all? How can you give people a sense of security?¡± ¡°Sense of security?¡± Luo Tao did not understand. He wanted to know everything about Mo Yan so that he could deal with any emergencies in the future and protect her. Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, ¡°Let¡¯s look at it from another angle! Let¡¯s say that if sister-inw knew everything about you, whether it was good or bad, what would you think?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing that I can¡¯t let her know,¡± Luo Tao said with a frown. Qin Yuan carefully recalled everything about Huo Zhen and suddenly could not help but sigh. From a young age, his family background was outstanding and his grades were excellent. Not only did he receive countless awards at school, but when he went abroad to study, he also gained a foothold in an unfamiliar environment and became a prominent figure in that school, when they heard that Huo Zhen had graduated and returned to the country, many girls cried until their makeup was ruined. After Huo Zhen took over the Huo family, he pushed the Huo family to a new height and coborated with the country on many projects, breaking the Huo family¡¯s tradition of not getting involved in politics. The more Qin Yuan thought about it, the more worried he became. Huo Zhen has changed too much. Sighing, Qin Yuan said, ¡°Do you want sister-inw to know what happened to you in your third year?¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s words instantly made Luo Tao¡¯s face freeze. Then, he narrowed his eyes. ¡°Why are you bringing this up?¡± ¡°To let you feel the feeling of being spied on.¡± Luo Tao did not speak. His pair of cold eyes looked at Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan swallowed his saliva and laughed dryly. ¡°Haha, this time, you probably don¡¯t want to investigate sister-inw anymore, right?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Luo Tao retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes. ¡°Investigate.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Qin Yuan thought that after pouring out his heart and soul to tell Luo Tao so much, Luo Tao would not insist, but who would have thought.. ¡°I¡¯m not investigating Mo Yan, I¡¯m investigating Mo Dong.¡± With that, Luo Tao stood up and left, not giving Qin Yuan the slightest chance to refuse. Just as the door closed, Qin Yuan¡¯s wail came from inside the room. Chapter 156: Profit Comes First Chapter 156: Profit Comes First In Song Yun¡¯s office, Mo Yan took the information sent by thepany¡¯s investigation team from C City and examined it in detail. This project was an internal project of Lin Group, and it was highly profitable. In other words, if this project was sessful, Hong Jing and Lin Group would have established a working rtionship. Unlike the project that the Lin family¡¯s crown prince took overpletely, this project was more prudent. It was a serious interpany cooperation. Song Yun was also a little excited to have Mo Yan rush back to thepany. The project that Mo Yan brought this time was much better than their previous one. ¡°Mo Yan, what do you think?¡± Song Yun looked at Mo Yan and asked. Mo Yan replied with a smile, ¡°I think the project is very good. If we can get it, not only will we have a foothold in Jing City, but we can also establish a long-term rtionship with Lin Group. There will be benefits and no harm.¡± Song Yun looked at Mo Yan with a probing gaze. ¡°Do you think Hong Jing should ept this project?¡± ¡°CEO Song, I don¡¯t think that this is something I can decide.¡± Content is property of N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan felt that her rtionship with CEO Song seemed to be somewhat different from that of a normal superior and subordinate, so their conversation was also different from that of a leader and an employee. ¡°After all, after you¡¯ve experienced that kind of thing, as your boss, I should still ask more questions.¡± ¡°CEO Song, I¡¯m a member of thepany. Everything is based on thepany¡¯s interests. I won¡¯t bring my personal problems into the work.¡± Although Mo Yan¡¯s answer was old-fashioned, it received a look of appreciation from Song Yun. The company needed all kinds of talents, and they could tolerate the characteristics of talents. However, when it came to the development of thepany, everything had to be put first. ¡°Okay, okay. When this project is sessfully signed, I will rmend you to be my assistant.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. Finally, CEO Song brought up this topic. ¡°Thank you, CEO Song, for giving me a chance.¡± Mo Yan sincerely bowed to Song Yun. Song Yun smiled and said to Mo Yan, ¡°I called you here today when you were on break.¡± Mo Yan smiled to show that she was fine. Then, the two of them chatted a little about the project before Mo Yan left. When they reached the floor where Team A¡¯s office was located, Mo Yan¡¯s elevator stopped. The person who came in was Li Guoguo. When she saw Mo Yan, her eyes lit up. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Sister Mo Yan, aren¡¯t you resting today? Why are you here in the office?¡± Li Guoguo asked in surprise. ¡°I have a project that I need to talk to CEO Song about.¡± ¡°Eh? Sister Mo Yan, you signed the contract again? That¡¯s amazing! When are you going to bring me along?¡± Mo Yan pinched her face helplessly and said, ¡°It¡¯s not a contract. There¡¯s a project that needs CEO Song¡¯s approval.¡± ¡°Oh! I see!¡± A trace of unnoticeable disappointment shed across Li Guoguo¡¯s eyes. ¡°Oh right, sister Mo Yan, you promised to introduce brother-inw to me! During this period of time, brother-inw has beening to pick you up every day. You¡¯re not evening with us anymore.¡± Although there was friction between Xu Tian and Li Guoguo, the two of them would still asionally walk together because of Mo Yan, plus Xu Wan and her friends. Mo Yan could be considered to have a group of close friends in thepany, so naturally, she did not dare to tantly tell Mo Yan about it. Thinking of Luo Tao picking her up during this period of time, Mo Yan could not help but reveal a sweet smile. ¡°He has been quite free recently, so he oftenes to pick me up.¡± ¡°Aiya, sister Mo Yan, if you don¡¯t introduce brother-inw to me, I will die of curiosity. Oh right, sister Mo Yan, you have to wear that bracelet that brother-inw gave you asionally! Otherwise, how can you prove your love?¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s gaze fell on Mo Yan¡¯s wrist as she said. Mo Yan was amused. After all, she was still a young girl who was not married. ¡°Love doesn¡¯t need to be proven. If a person likes you, just by looking at him, you can feel his feelings.¡± Li Guoguo pouted and said unhappily, ¡°Such a beautiful bracelet, I want to see it more oftent! Sister Mo Yan, you have to wear it often!¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll wear it for you when I have the chance.¡± Mo Yan had a headache, so she had no choice but to agree. Ding!

As expected, she saw the figure who was waiting¡­ ¡°Luo Tao, where are we going next?¡± Chapter 157 - Dull Flash Chapter 157 - Dull sh Standing in front of the market, Luo Tao looked a little dazed. Although he had done many interesting things with Mo Yan, he didn¡¯t expect that Mo Yan would bring him to the market one day. ¡°Luo Tao, why aren¡¯t youing? What are you thinking about?¡± Mo Yan stood in front of a fruit stand and waved at him. Luo Tao said in a stiff voice, ¡°I¡¯ming.¡± The smell of all kinds of vegetables and fruits entered his nose. He didn¡¯t know what it was mixed with, but it gave Luo Tao a headache. ¡°Boss, how much is a kilogram of strawberries?¡± ¡°16 yuan. Youngdy, do you want a box?¡± Mo Yan picked up the transparent box and looked at it. The strawberries inside were red and plump, very tempting. Mo Yan¡¯s craving was aroused. Pulling on Luo Tao¡¯s sleeve, Mo Yan asked, ¡°Luo Tao, do you like strawberries?¡± Luo Tao rubbed his temples at this time and answered, ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°Yes, boss, a box of strawberries.¡± After paying, Mo Yan pulled Luo Tao out. Luo Tao was stunned by her actions. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to buy groceries?¡± Luo Tao asked. Mo Yan smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s a lot of smells in the market. You¡¯re probably not used to it. Wait for me outside. I¡¯lle out after I¡¯m done buying.¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Luo Tao opened his mouth but didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°Actually, I wasn¡¯t used to it when I first came here. However, after everything happened, I could only buy vegetables and cook myself. I had to be careful with the money I earned. In the beginning, I bought everything in supermarkets. Gradually, I realized that the market was much cheaper than supermarkets, so I formed the habit of buying things in the big market.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s expression was obviously calm, but it made Luo Tao feel a trace of heartache. It was hard to imagine how much she had experienced from being a carefree, naive little girl who was forced into independency overnight and needed to calcte everything to support her family. Luo Tao grabbed Mo Yan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°I¡¯ll walk with you.¡± Mo Yan looked at him in surprise. Luo Tao ignored her expression and walked straight to the vegetable stall. Seeing that Luo Tao had made up his mind, Mo Yan did not say anything more. Coincidentally, the stall that Luo Tao dragged Mo Yan to was where Mo Yan usually bought vegetables. ¡°Yo! Yan is here!¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks As she spoke, the vegetable seller looked at Luo Tao. When he saw Luo Tao¡¯s outfit, she felt that he looked out of ce. The vegetable seller nodded anyway. ¡°Auntie, do you have any good vegetables today?¡± Mo Yan smiled and asked. ¡°Today!¡± As she spoke, the vegetable seller took out a few bundles of small cabbage from the foam box behind her and said, ¡°These were sent by my husband in the afternoon. I thought that you mighte to buy some vegetables, so I kept them.¡± Mo Yan took out a bundle of small cabbage from a few bundles of green, glossy, and watery cabbage and said, ¡°Auntie, didn¡¯t you always get vegetables in the morning? Why did theye in the afternoon today?¡± ¡°My husband was delivering vegetables to another shop. They asked for two boxes, but he somehow remembered them as three boxes. He took the remaining box and brought them here. There are only a few left, so he specially kept them for you.¡± ¡°Thank you, Auntie! By the way, remember to bring your medicine with you,¡± Mo Yan reminded her. She was familiar with the vegetable selling auntie, but once the Auntie suddenly fainted and no one dared toe forward. Only Mo Yan apanied her to the hospital and paid for the medical fees. This made the Auntie¡¯s family very grateful. After that, they became familiar with each other. When Mo Yan came to the market, the woman would bring out the best vegetables for Mo Yan to choose from. ¡°I¡¯ve brought them. My husband has been staring at me every day. It¡¯s very annoying,¡± the woman said with a smile. Although she wasining about her husband, the smile on the woman¡¯s lips never faded. After picking a few more vegetables from the woman¡¯s stall, Mo Yan pulled Luo Tao inside. There were all kinds of meat avable. Looking at Mo Yan who was greeting people beside him, Luo Tao couldn¡¯t take his eyes off her. She was a shining body everywhere. Mo Yan kept telling him about the interesting things she had encountered in the market, and also how she met the people selling vegetables. Gradually, Luo Tao seemed to be able to get used to the smell of the market. Along the way, Mo Yan talked about the whole way, and Luo Tao also listened to the whole way. ¡°Luo Tao, do you like this kind of life?¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.

But being with the Mo family in the past, I wouldn¡¯t like it. That kind of life is like a castle in the air. If you lose your support, you will fall into pieces.¡± Under the setting sun, Luo Tao looked at the side of Mo Yan¡¯s face. It was quiet and beautiful, with traces of loneliness. Her scattered hair was blown by the wind, like an elf wandering in the world. Chapter 158 - Took Another Step Forward Chapter 158 - Took Another Step Forward As soon as Mo Yan reached home, she went straight into the kitchen and shut the door tightly. However, how could the thin door block out theughter outside? Mo Yan¡¯s face turned even redder. How could he kiss her on the street? It was so embarrassing! Mo Yan used cold water to pat her face twice in an attempt to cool down. However, Luo Tao asked through the door, ¡°Do you really not need my help?¡± Hearing such a clear voice, Mo Yan knew that Luo Tao was outside the door and could not help but say angrily, ¡°No need.¡± ¡°I can help you cut the vegetables,¡± Luo Tao continued. Mo Yan picked up a garlic and smashed it on the door with a loud thud. This made Luo Taough more. Wasn¡¯t it because she was kissed from head to toe that Luo Tao keptughing at her? Hmph! If he hadn¡¯t suddenly stolen a kiss from her, she wouldn¡¯t have lost herposure like this. It was all Luo Tao¡¯s fault that she was surrounded by so many people! Mo Yan cursed in her heart, but her hands didn¡¯t stop moving as she skillfully handled the ingredients. When she saw the prawn that she and Luo Tao had chosen together, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but stop moving. She recalled everything that had happened after she agreed to the divorce yesterday. She could feel that because of yesterday¡¯s confession, she seemed to have taken a step forward with Luo Tao. At that time, Luo Tao, who heard Mo Yan¡¯s reply, fell silent. After a long time, he asked, ¡°Do you really want to?¡± ¡°I lied to you. The consequences should be borne by myself.¡± Mo Yan lowered her head and replied in a self-deprecating manner. She did not dare to look at Luo Tao¡¯s face. Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan and saw that Mo Yan was looking at the other side. ¡°I want to know what you think. Do you want to get a divorce or be with me?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Mo Yan had just turned her head when her gaze met Luo Tao¡¯s. She could not control her tears anymore and they fell like broken pirs. ¡°I don¡¯t want to. I don¡¯t want a divorce. I want to be with you.¡± Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s tears, Luo Tao could not help but feel his heart ache. He hugged Mo Yan in his arms. ¡°Of course I don¡¯t want a divorce too. I won¡¯t leave you. Don¡¯t cry, If you cry, my heart will ache.¡± Mo Yan tugged at the front of Luo Tao¡¯s shirt and cried her heart out. It was as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered during this period of time. She was not this afraid when she was schemed against, nor was she this afraid when she was kidnapped. She was not even this afraid when she jumped out of the car, which might have cost her her life. But just now, she was really afraid, afraid that Luo Tao would leave her just because she was not Mo Lian. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite.

Mo Yan, who had suddenly be clear-headed, suddenly recalled the words that Luo Tao had said to Mo Lian. She burst outughing. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Luo Tao asked. Mo Yan smiled brightly and said, ¡°Mo Lian must be mad at you today.¡± ¡°I only said the truth.¡± Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan¡¯s smiling face, his eyes filled with tenderness. ¡°Because I have never dared to confess my identity, I don¡¯t know how much rumors Mo Lian has spread about me.¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World .

But then¡­¡± As she spoke, Mo Yan¡¯s face turned red again. She was full of shyness, but Luo Tao refused to let her go and continued to ask, ¡°But then?¡± ¡°Yes, I was afraid that you would leave me.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s small voice was only heard by Luo Tao.

One knew Mo Yan¡¯s identity and deliberately probed her, while the other had no choice but to pretend to be rich. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Although Mo Yan did not know what Luo Tao was thinking, it did not stop her from feeling amused by her embarrassment. ¡°Call Mo Cheng. Let¡¯s eat out tonight.¡± Luo Tao smiled at Mo Yan. Mo Yan nodded and walked to Mo Cheng¡¯s room. ¡°Cheng, have you packed your things?¡± Mo Yan knocked on the door a few times, but there was no sound inside. After a while, the door was opened. Looking at Mo Cheng, whose eyes were red but pretended to be fine, Mo Yan did not expose him. She smiled at Mo Cheng and said, ¡°Let¡¯s talk?¡± Mo Cheng lowered his eyes and nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Sister, is what that woman said true?¡± Mo Cheng sat by the bed and asked in a low voice.

She could only grit her teeth and continue speaking. ¡°Yes, Mo Lian is lying. Didn¡¯t you hear her say that I was the one who stole her marriage.¡± Mo Cheng acknowledged and temporarily believed Mo Yan¡¯s words. Then, he asked, ¡°Sister, what was the meaning of the conversation between her and brother-inw afterward? What substitute marriage?¡± Although it was a question, thinking back to when their Mom¡¯s surgery¡¯s fee was paid just when Mo Yan got married, the answer was obvious.

His originally handsome face was now slightly distorted and gloomy. Suddenly, the ss with liquor smashed on the man in the brown suit, causing him to cry out in pain. ¡°Jiang Ming, you think it¡¯s funny lying to me?¡± Huo Zheng¡¯s words were full of viciousness, causing the man named Jiang Ming to kneel down and say that he didn¡¯t dare. ¡°You have to give me evidence of seeing Huo Zhen in C City.¡± Hearing Huo Zhen¡¯s words, Jiang Ming kneeled next to Huo Zhen and handed him the phone. In the photo, there was a taxi that looked like it had been taken in an emergency. From the window, he could vaguely see a side profile that looked like Huo Zhen. ¡°This?¡± Huo Zheng¡¯s voice became more and more vicious, and there was even a look of anger on his face that turned into a smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Brother Zhen. I was not careful enough. Because I knew that you wanted to take over Huo Corporation, I was too happy because I thought we had a chance.¡± Jiang Ming lowered his head very deeply. Huo Zheng stared at the back of his head for a while before he slowly said, ¡°Alright, go back to C City! Don¡¯te to A City if you have nothing to do. Don¡¯t let people find out that we met up.¡± ¡°Yes, Brother Zhen.¡± The reason why Huo Zheng reacted so strongly was that he knew that Huo Zhen had given the Huo family¡¯stest project to Huo Li. The two of them had signed a contract that no one else was allowed to interfere except for Huo Li. Otherwise, Huo Zheng would have taken back project. This made Huo Zheng loathe Huo Zhen, but at the same time, he was also unhappy with his own brother, Huo Li. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only It was not that Huo Zheng could not see that Huo Zhen was ying tricks, but the fact that he could not get any benefits also made him extremely loathe Huo Zhen. However, because of the news brought by Jiang Ming, he lost hisposure. After Jiang Ming left, Huo Zheng picked up his phone and took a few more nces. It would be better if he didn¡¯t look. The more he looked, the more Huo Zheng felt that the person in the photo looked like Huo Zhen. However, he had already verified with his subordinates that Huo Zhen was not around. After some thought, Huo Zhen called Jiang Ming, who had already left. ¡°Go and check on the person in your photo.¡± Chapter 161 - Disaster Transfer Chapter 161 - Disaster Transfer That day, Mo Yan was sorting out her information when Xu Tian suddenly sent her a message asking her toe out. When she reached the stairs, Xu Tian was already waiting for her on the steps. In order to prevent anyone from identally overhearing, the two of them walked down another floor. Xu Tian lit a cigarette and said first, ¡°There¡¯s good news. I heard from sister Song that the board of directors has decided to transfer Chen Jin to H City.¡± ¡°Transfer?¡± Mo Yan was puzzled. Why was Chen Jin suddenly being transferred? ¡°Yes, Sister Song looked into the changing of our information previously and found some traces. Although the evidence is insufficient, we can confirm that Chen Jin was involved.¡± Xu Tian exhaled a puff of smoke and looked out of the window. She continued, ¡°However, the most important thing is still the project you brought back.¡± Mo Yan felt a stab in her heart, but she still smiled and said, ¡°The division of power in H City is quite clear. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no ce for Chen Jin to interfere.¡± ¡°No matter what, Chen Jin is an elder of thepany. It can be considered as finding a ce for him to retire,¡± Xu Tian said with a sneer. Hearing Xu Tian¡¯s words, Mo Yan burst intoughter. ¡°Knowing that Chen Jin is dumb, he was sent to retire.¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°There¡¯s something I don¡¯t quite understand.¡± Xu Tian looked at the smiling Mo Yan and rxed her brows. ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Yan ced her arms on the guardrail and turned her head. ¡°I heard that someone from above is pressuring people to not let anyone visit Chen Ya. Then how did Chen Jin know that this matter is rted to Lin Peng?¡± Mo Yan frowned slightly. This was indeed a little problematic. After the conversation with Lin Ye that day, she was certain that the Lin family would protect Lin Peng. In order not to cause a greater impact, the Lin family would naturally cover up the news and remove Lin Peng from this matter. As for Chen Ya and Mo Lian, logically speaking, it was very likely that Chen Jin heard about the whole matter from Chen Ya and then threatened the Lin family. Suddenly, a figure shed through Mo Yan¡¯s mind. ¡°Zhou Shuai¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Xu Tian asked. ¡°Zhou Shuai came to look for me once before. He was certain that Chen Ya was arrested because of me, so he came to see me to discuss whether I could let Chen Ya off.¡± Mo Yan frowned as she recalled the conversation she had with Zhou Shuai that day. ¡°I seem to have mentioned to him that the reason Chen Ya was arrested was because she took part in kidnapping me. Could it be that he heard about this and found some clues in A City before he went to look for the Lin Family?¡± Xu Tian silently flicked her cigarette ash twice. After a moment, she said, ¡°Maybe! Forget it, I don¡¯t want to think about it. If nothing goes wrong, Zhou Shuai should go with Chen Jin.¡± ¡°Oh? So good!¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Mo Yan¡¯s eyes instantly lit up. This news was the happiest thing in recent times. Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s undisguised expression, Xu Tian could not help but smile. ¡°Congrattions! You got rid of a person who harassed you.¡± ¡°Same here. This time, you got rid of Chen Jin. This can be considered as you have avenged yourself.¡± Mo Yan mischievously winked at Xu Tian. Xu Tian¡¯s matter was not considered a secret. There were still some people in thepany who knew about it. Xu Tian did not care that someone knew about her past. She smiled lightly and said, ¡°It¡¯s not enough. It will only be counted if we can win this projectter.¡± ¡°You are really asking for a lot. But no matter what, it¡¯s good news. Shall we go for a drink tonight? My treat.¡± Mo Yan gave an invitation to Xu Tian. Xu Tian readily agreed. When she returned to the office, Mo Yan saw that Li Guoguo kept looking at her, so she walked over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Guoguo?¡± ¡°Sister Mo Yan, we didn¡¯t win the project in Jing City. Sister Mo Yan, can you help me?¡± Li Guoguo said with a sad face. Hearing Li Guoguo mention Jing City, Mo Yan felt a little guilty. She calcted what other unfinished projects she had in her hands and thought for a long time before she picked one out from the corner. Because the client had a lot of requests and there was no time limit, she was not in a hurry. They could do it together. ¡°There is one, but themission is not too high.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. As long as there is one.¡± After saying that, Li Guoguo gave Mo Yan a bright smile. Seeing her like this, Mo Yan returned to her seat and passed the document to her. Li Guoguo received the document very quickly and immediately sent a message to Mo Yan: ¡°Sister Mo Yan, you are too good to me. Let me treat you to dinner tonight!¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Thinking of her appointment with Xu Tian that night, Mo Yan replied: ¡°You are wee. I have an appointment with sister Xu tonight.¡± ¡°Eh? Just the two of you? How can you not bring me along? I want to go too! At worst, I¡¯ll invite sister Xu Along.¡± Mo Yan had a strange feeling when she saw this message, but she could not pinpoint why. After thinking for a moment, Mo Yan asked sister Xu. Unexpectedly, sister Xu readily agreed to dinner with the two of them. Mo Yan nced at Li Guoguo, who had a bright smile on her face because she had agreed. She did not know when it had started, but she felt that Guoguo was a little too enthusiastic towards her. Chapter 162 - Overly Enthusiastic Chapter 162 - Overly Enthusiastic After that, Li Guoguo kept asking about the n, causing Mo Yan to only remember to send Luo Tao a message that he didn¡¯t need to pick her up when she was about to get off work. [I¡¯m here.] Luo Tao¡¯s reply made Mo Yan a little dumbfounded. It was only five o¡¯clock when she went downstairs. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan smiled helplessly. He was right on time as usual. Luo Tao pushed her hair behind her ear and said with a smile, ¡°You said that you were going to have a meal with your colleagues. Do you need me to go back first?¡± Looking at the man who had speciallye to pick her up, Mo Yan shook her head. ¡°They have said that they wanted to meet you. Let¡¯s take this opportunity for you to meet them!¡± Just as Mo Yan was speaking, Li Guoguo¡¯s voice was heard. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, why are you running so fast on your own! Sister Xu and I can¡¯t keep up.¡± Li Guoguo was one step ahead of Xu Tian. When she saw Luo Tao, a trace of surprise shed across her eyes. ¡°This must be brother-inw! I¡¯ve been hearing from sister Mo Yan that you¡¯re a very good husband!¡± Mo Yan blushed at her words. She didn¡¯t always mention Luo Tao, did she! At this moment, Xu Tian also walked over. Mo Yan introduced the two of them to Luo Tao. ¡°Luo Tao, these two are my colleagues, Xu Tian and Li Guoguo. We worked on the project together in Jing City.¡± After introducing the two of them, Mo Yan turned to introduce Luo Tao. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°Sister Xu, Guoguo, this is my husband, Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s face became even redder as she introduced them. When Luo Tao¡¯s gaze fell on Mo Yan, he was very gentle, but when he faced Xu Tian and Li Guoguo, he was very calm. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Hello.¡± When it came to treating others coldly, Xu Tian and Luo Tao were equally matched. However, Xu Tian still looked at Luo Tao twice. She seemed to have seen this person somewhere before. ¡°Brother-inw, Hello. I¡¯m Li Guoguo. Brother-inw, how tall are you? You¡¯re about 1.8 meters, right? So handsome!¡± Mo Yan was already used to Li Guoguo¡¯s exaggeration. When she heard her praising her husband, she could not help but snicker. Luo Tao, on the other hand, was not used to it. He frowned slightly. He did not like people of the opposite sex being overly enthusiastic towards him. As more and more people came downstairs, the few of them took a taxi to a restaurant a little further away. The restaurant was rmended by Luo Tao. He said that it was the first time he treated Mo Yan¡¯s colleague to a meal, so he had to be generous. Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Until the meal time, Mo Yan was stillmenting. This meal was originally for her and sister Xu to celebrate. Then, it became a three-person dinner. In the end, it became her husband treating her friends to a meal. This was really.. Luo Tao ordered a few of Mo Yan¡¯s favorite dishes and handed the menu to Xu Tian and Li Guoguo. Mo Yan leaned over to Luo Tao¡¯s ear and asked in surprise, ¡°How did you know that I like to eat these dishes?¡± Seeing that her eyes were full of surprise, Luo Tao imitated her appearance and leaned over to her ear and said, ¡°It¡¯s not just dishes. I also know about your favorite TV series, your favorite games, and the music you often listen to, as well as¡­¡± As he spoke, Luo Tao lowered his voice and chuckled in Mo Yan¡¯s ear, ¡°You like to kick the quilt when you sleep, and you even wrap your pajamas around it.¡± ¡°You rascal!¡± Mo Yan¡¯s face was red as she lightly punched Luo Tao¡¯s arm, causing Luo Tao¡¯s smile to deepen. Although their voices were very soft, Mo Yan¡¯s actions still attracted the attention of the two people on the opposite side. Xu Tian looked at the two of them and did not say anything. There was only a hint of relief and disappointment in her eyes. On the other hand, Li Guoguo¡¯s expression was a little strange. A few dishes that looked, smelled, and tasted good were all served, causing Mo Yan¡¯s appetite to increase greatly. Her stomach, which had not felt hungry before, began to growl. Mo Yan pretended to call the two of them to eat while ring at Luo Tao, who was smiling at her stomach. ¡°Wow! The food here is so delicious!¡± Hearing Li Guoguo¡¯s exmation, Mo Yan also picked up a piece of Golden Sea Bass. The fresh fragrance assailed her nose, and before it entered her mouth, Mo Yan already felt that it was delicious. ¡°Oh! Brother-inw, how did you know there was such a delicious ce!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been here before,¡± Luo Tao answered politely, as if he did not notice Li Guoguo¡¯s eager gaze. Seeing that Mo Yan was eating happily, Luo Tao clumsily helped Mo Yan pick up the fish bones. Although it was the first time he did this, Luo Tao felt bad. A momentter, Mo Yan¡¯s bowl was filled with some shredded fish meat. Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only Mo Yan was stunned for a moment. Her gaze turned to Luo Tao, but Luo Tao was staring at the fish meat, thinking about something. ¡°There¡¯s no need to pick it for me. You eat too.¡± As she spoke, Mo Yan picked up a ball and ced it into Luo Tao¡¯s bowl. However, Luo Tao did not move. His gaze remained on the bowl. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Yan asked him. After hesitating for a few seconds, Luo Tao frowned and said, ¡°This is the first time I picked fish bones. I didn¡¯t pick it well.¡± Chapter 163 - Are You Luo Tao? Chapter 163 - Are You Luo Tao? Mo Yan felt warm in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Li Guoguo. She interjected, ¡°Sister Mo Yan, aren¡¯t you too happy? Brother-inw actually helped you pick fish bones. I also want a boyfriend like this!¡± Xu Tian nced at Li Guoguo indifferently. Li Guoguo seemed to have not noticed it and stared at Luo Tao with bright eyes. Mo Yan smiled faintly and turned to Luo Tao, ¡°You picked very well! You don¡¯t know that although I love fish, fish bones are too troublesome. I was pricked by it when I was young.¡± After saying that, Mo Yan stuffed a big mouthful of rice with fish meat into her mouth. She even narrowed her eyes and showed a satisfied expression. ¡°How good would it be if the fish meat didn¡¯t have thorns.¡± Mo Yan sighed. Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan who didn¡¯t care about her image and smiled, ¡°I know.¡± ¡°Ah? What?¡± Mo Yan looked puzzled. ¡°I know you like to eat fish, but you don¡¯t like to pick it.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s words made Mo Yan¡¯s eyes widen and she looked dumbfounded. ¡°Eat quickly, it won¡¯t taste good when it¡¯s cold.¡± Luo Tao said while touching Mo Yan¡¯s head. Mo Yan foolishly followed Luo Tao¡¯s words, causing Luo Tao tough out loud. ¡°Brother-inw, what does your family do?¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s voice broke the warm atmosphere between the two of them. Luo Tao nced at her and then looked at Mo Yan. Luo Tao didn¡¯t have a good family background. Wouldn¡¯t he embarrass Mo Yan? Just as Luo Tao was in a dilemma, Mo Yan spoke first, ¡°Luo Tao¡¯s family is from the countryside. They usually grow some vegetables and raise some small animals to sell.¡± ¡°Ah! I see!¡± Li Guoguo sounded a little disappointed, causing Mo Yan to raise her eyebrows and look at her a few more times. ¡°Oh right, brother-inw, what do you do now?¡± Li Guoguo continued to ask. Luo Tao did not let Mo Yan answer this question. ¡°I do some trantion work.¡± Luo Tao took a sip of tea and answered. ¡°Trantion? Brother-inw is so amazing! Which University did you graduate from?¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Never been to, self-taught.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks Luo Tao did not blush at all when he lied. His expression was calm as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter. Mo Yan nced at him and continued eating without saying anything. ¡°Those who can self-learn are all Gods, Haha. I think all the gossip in thepany is fake! Since sister Mo Yan is so outstanding, brother-inw must be amazing too.¡± ¡°Gossip?¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Mo Yan. Seeing Luo Tao¡¯s gaze, Mo Yan raised her head from the bowl andughed dryly, ¡°You know that Chen Ya and the others are always jealous of me. I¡¯m thick-skinned and it¡¯s useless for them to say anything, so they just nder you!¡± ¡°What did they say about me?¡± Luo Tao asked calmly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, it¡¯s just about your past! I didn¡¯t specifically ask around.¡± Luo Tao nodded and didn¡¯t say anything else. When Li Guoguo was about to speak, Xu Tian ced a piece of cake into her bowl. After a meal, only Mo Yan was the happiest. After Li Guoguo was quiet, Xu Tian and Mo Yan talked about work. Luo Tao would asionally say a few words. Although Luo Tao didn¡¯t say much, he always hit the nail on the head, making Mo Yan wish she could remember everything he said. After a few times, Xu Tian was also curious about Luo Tao. When she found out that Luo Tao was thinking about Mo Yan¡¯s n from his usual perspective, she couldn¡¯t help but show an appreciative smile. After the meal, Mo Yan and Luo Tao sent the two away. Mo Yan looked at the man opposite her. She felt that she couldn¡¯t see him clearly. There were too many things that happened in the past, so she didn¡¯t pay attention to many things that didn¡¯t make sense about Luo Tao. ¡°Luo Tao, did you read about what you said today from my proposal?¡± The two of them walked hand in hand as Mo Yan asked softly. ¡°Yes,¡± Luo Tao replied. The Huo family was involved in many industries, so he knew a lot of things, but that did not include real estate sales. He had gone to learn about this because of Mo Yan¡¯s work.

However, Luo Tao did not fall asleep untilte at night when he returned home. He lit many cigarettes on the balcony. Chapter 164 - Certificate of Ownership? Chapter 164 - Certificate of Ownership? Two dayster, Mo Yan suddenly received a call from Mo Dong. Mo Yan didn¡¯t want to pick up, so Mo Dong called a few times. She had no choice but to answer the call. ¡°Hello! Yan! It¡¯s your father, Mo Dong.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mo Yan said coldly. It was obvious that he didn¡¯t call her for any good reason. ¡°Yan! I have already transferred the ownership of your house to your name. When are youing to get the certificate of ownership?¡± Mo Dong¡¯s tone on the phone seemed to be trying to curry favor, causing Mo Yan¡¯s eyebrows to furrow even deeper. What kind of trick was Mo Dong trying to pull this time? Thest time he agreed to treat his mother¡¯s illness, he wanted her to take her ce in the marriage. This time, what was he nning to do by giving her the house? ¡°Speak! What do you want me to do this time?¡± Previously, she was helpless in the face of her mother¡¯s huge medical expenses. However, things were different now. If Mo Dong still wanted her to do something overboard, she would definitely reject him harshly. ¡°Yan, I¡¯m doing this because I feel sorry for you. Do you have to be so distant from me?¡± Mo Yan shook the goosebumps on her body and sneered. Sorry for her? Ha! Why didn¡¯t he say he was sorry when the three of them could only afford to eat once a day? Why didn¡¯t he feel sorry when she dropped out of university? Why didn¡¯t he feel sorry when she was asked to marry someone in ce of his daughter because of her mother¡¯s medical expenses? Wasn¡¯t he a little toote to act as if he was sorry? Without saying anything, Mo Yan waited for him to continue acting. To be able to make Mo Dong talk to her like this, she was also curious about what else Mo Dong wanted from her. Seeing that Mo Yan didn¡¯t respond to his words, Mo Dong felt a little awkward. He coughed lightly and said to Mo Yan, ¡°Yan! How did you meet Qin Yuan?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know him. Mr. Mo, do you have anything else? If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up. Oh right, you can mail the certificate of ownership directly to mypany.¡± After saying that, Mo Yan frowned and was about to hang up the phone. Why did Mo Dong suddenly mention Qin Yuan? Could it be that Mo Dong suddenly gave her the certificate of ownership because of Qin Yuan? ¡°Mo Yan!¡± Mo Dong finally stopped pretending to be kind, and a stern scolding came from the phone receiver. ¡°Ha! Mr. Mo, you¡¯re finally back to normal. Is there anything else you want to tell me?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was full of mockery. Mo Dong suppressed his anger and said to Mo Yan, ¡°Mo Yan! Tell me, what exactly is your rtionship with Qin Yuan?¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Why do I have to report what rtionship I have with anyone to you?¡± Mo Yan provoked. From the heavy breathing, Mo Yan could tell how angry Mo Dong was. ¡°Mo Yan! Qin Yuan is not someone you can provoke. Don¡¯t get close to someone you can¡¯t afford to offend just to take revenge on the Mo family.¡± Mo Dong originally wanted to test if he could get in touch with the Qin family through Mo Yan, but from Mo Yan¡¯s attitude, he knew that even if Mo Yan really had a rtionship with Qin Yuan, the Mo family would not be able to get any benefits, naturally, his attitude changed. After hearing Mo Dong¡¯s words, Mo Yan suddenlyughed out loud, ¡°Oh right! There¡¯s still such a way to take revenge on you guys. I didn¡¯t think of it until Mr. Mo mentioned it! Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Mo!¡± ¡°You!¡± Mo Dong was almost angered by Mo Yan. When did Mo Yan be so sharp-tongued. ¡°You¡¯re just like your fickle mother! You¡¯re not a good person!¡± ¡°Mo Dong.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice contained traces of coldness as she transmitted her anger over the phone to the person on the other side. ¡°Uncultured thing!¡± Mo Dong heard Mo Yan dare to call his name directly, and his anger grew even more. ¡°Mo Dong, Mo Lian is two years older than me. How dare you talk about my mother?¡± At this moment, there was no trace of a smile on Mo Yan¡¯s face. Her pair of cold eyes made one¡¯s scalp go numb. ¡°Let me tell you, don¡¯t provoke me. You don¡¯t have the right to talk about my family either. No matter what happened back then, bringing an illegitimate daughter who is two years older than me to my mother, you still have the nerve to me my mother?¡± ¡°Mo Yan, you unfilial daughter!¡± Mo Dong was panting heavily as he shouted into the microphone.

If she continued to speak, it would be easy for others to discover her ws. Mo Yan covered her face and took a few deep breaths. It seemed like she should go and see Qin Yuan. Chapter 165 - Qin Yuans Help Chapter 165 - Qin Yuan''s Help Mo Yan arrived at the jewelry store after work. When she asked to see Qin Yuan at the front desk, she clearly saw a strange expression on the front desk. She smiled politely and said, ¡°Hello, customer. Do you have an appointment?¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Mo Yan frowned slightly and asked, ¡°Appointment?¡± The front desk continued to reply politely, ¡°Yes, you can only see young master Qin after making an appointment.¡± This made Mo Yan immediately recall the scene where she had been waiting in the reception room when she came. She thought that it was because of the bracelet that Qin Yuan had specially instructed her. After knowing that she would not sell the bracelet, he no longer paid attention to her. Mo Yan thought for a moment and decided to use the bracelet to lure Qin Yuan to her next time! Just as Mo Yan was about to leave, a voice suddenly interrupted her. ¡°Miss Mo?¡± Mo Yan turned around and saw that it was Qin Yuan. ¡°Mr. Qin.¡± Mo Yan was a little surprised. She thought that she would return empty-handed today, but she didn¡¯t expect to meet him in person. Qin Yuan smiled and walked to Mo Yan¡¯s side and said, ¡°I wonder what you are here for today? Did you get another good jade gain?¡± Mo Yan shook her head and said to Qin Yuan, ¡°I¡¯m here for some personal matters today. Can we talk in private?¡± ¡°Yes, sure.¡± Qin Yuan smiled and led her into the reception room. When the two of them entered the room, the workers in the jewelry shop surrounded the front desk one by one. ¡°Xiao Zheng, what did young master Qin say just now? He brought her in just like that?¡± When they saw their boss leave, they started to gossip about the boss behind his back. ¡°I think they know each other,¡± the girl called Xiao Zheng recalled the conversation between the two and answered. ¡°Our boss knows a girl in C City? That¡¯s really strange. I thought the boss only cared about his jades!¡± ¡°Oh right! I remember now! This girl came twice before. I think she wants to sell jades.¡± As Mo Yan was good-looking, even though a long time had passed, the shop assistant still had a vague impression of her. ¡°Eh? She¡¯s selling jade this time too?¡±A shop assistant asked in surprise. Xiao Zheng shook her head. ¡°No, that girl said she had a private matter.¡± Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks ¡°Oh, a private matter,¡± several shop assistants said in unison. The burning mes of gossip in their eyes could not be suppressed no matter how hard they tried. This was not their fault. After all, this was the first time the boss had given special treatment to a girl. They were also quite curious. ¡°Why are you all gathered together when you¡¯re not working?¡± Suddenly, a stern female voice interrupted their conversation. They stole a nce at the woman and silently returned to their seats. The woman looked to be in her forties. She walked to Xiao Zheng in a few steps with six to seven centimeters high heels. ¡°Did you just say that someone was brought into the reception room by young master Qin without an appointment? And it¡¯s a woman?¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± The woman was the housekeeper Qin Yuan¡¯s father had sent to Qin Yuan¡¯s side. She took care of everything around Qin Yuan. When Qin Yuan was not around, the woman could make the decisions in the jewelry shop. Unlike Qin Yuan¡¯s friendliness, the woman was very strict with her employees. She even acted like she was Qin Yuan¡¯s wife, which made many employees dislike her. However, Qin Yuan¡¯s father really trusted her. No matter what others said, Qin Yuan didn¡¯t dare to ask him to remove her from her position. The woman frowned deeply. The gap between her eyebrows indicated that she often showed such an expression. When Qin Yuan was in Jing City, he did have the habit of attracting bees and butterflies. However, ever since he came to C City, he seemed to be fascinated by these jade stones. It had been a long time since he had seen him with girls. What was going on today? The woman stopped at the door of the reception room for a while, then turned to Qin Yuan¡¯s office. On the other side, Mo Yan was brought into the reception room by Qin Yuan. As soon as she sat down, Mo Yan went straight to the point and asked, ¡°Mr. Qin, did you intervene in the matter of the Mo family¡¯s estate?¡± Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, sat opposite Mo Yan and poured her a cup of tea. ¡°Did Mo Dong tell you this? Did Miss Moe here today specifically to talk about this matter?¡± Readtest Chapters at Wuxia World . Site Only ¡°Yes, although Mo Dong didn¡¯t say that the matter of the certificate of ownership was rted to you, he asked about my rtionship with you. I think it was your intervention that made Mo Dong so anxious.¡± Different from thest meeting, both of their attitudes had changed a lot this time. The most intuitive feeling for Qin Yuan was that his sister-inw had be more emotionally stable, unlikest time when she was easily agitated. When he saw her on the surveince camera, she was also a lot different from earlier. ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right. I was the one who told Mo Dong that if he continued to suppress you, I would take action.¡± Mo Yan looked at Qin Yuan and was at a loss for words. She did not expect Qin Yuan to admit it so readily. However, it was also true. This was Qin Yuan¡¯s act of helping her. Why would he not admit it? Chapter 166 Chapter 166 As Qin Yuan was drinking tea with his head lowered and did not look at Mo Yan, Mo Yan could not tell what expression Qin Yuan had when he said this. After a long silence, Mo Yan asked, ¡°Mr. Qin, I want to know why you did this. You fought for my mother¡¯s medical fees before, but this time, you are helping me get back my property.¡± ¡°I said I wanted to help you.¡± Qin Yuan and Mo Yan looked at each other and spoke very sincerely. He had to let his sister-inw feel his kindness so Huo Zhen would make him do less work for him. ¡°Is it because you want to help others when you see them in trouble? If that¡¯s the case, then you should be given the title of the person of the year in Z Nation.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s tone was a little mocking. ¡°I only want to help you.¡± Qin Yuan was quick-witted. Mo Yan had just finished teasing Qin Yuan when he immediately replied. ¡°I¡¯m very touched. It¡¯s just that¡­ you treat me so well. Is it really like what I thought before, you are interested in me?¡± Mo Yan said to Qin Yuan in a rxed tone as if she was joking. Qin Yuan looked deeply at Mo Yan. His sister-inw¡¯s reaction waspletely different from thest time. What did she sense that made her believe that he was not helping her for her? ncing at his phone, Qin Yuan smiled and said, ¡°What if I say yes!¡± Seeing Qin Yuan smile, Mo Yan also smiled and said, ¡°Then I remember that I told you that I have a family.¡± ¡°You are talking about your husband who just got out of prison a few months ago. ording to what I know, your husband, Luo Tao, is an uneducated, ipetent, and destitute thug.¡± Upon hearing Qin Yuan¡¯s words, Mo Yan could not help but put away her smile, her expression indifferent. ¡°Mr. Qin, are you investigating me? Or my husband?¡± Mo Yan was not only angry because of Qin Yuan¡¯s investigation of them, but also because of Qin Yuan¡¯s evaluation of Luo Tao. ¡°Yes, I did a little investigation. A gracefuldy deserves to be with a gentleman. Since I am interested in you, I won¡¯t go overboard with the investigation!¡± Qin Yuan was not afraid of Mo Yan¡¯s frosty expression. He continued, ¡°Since your husband is such a person, why don¡¯t you consider me?¡± ¡°I think you know that I have some assets. It should be much better for you to choose me than your husband who has been in prison.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes darkened, she suppressed her anger and said, ¡°Mr. Qin, do you want me to be your mistress? Or do you want me to be the young mistress of the Qin family? I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible for you to marry me!?Does this mean that you want to be my mistress?¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Faced with Mo Yan¡¯s questioning, Qin Yuan smiled indifferently and did notment on her words. ¡°Ha! So you use the method of belittling my husband to elevate yourself. This behavior is really unbearable.¡± Even though Mo Yan said so, Qin Yuan did not have any reaction and continued to drink the tea in his cup. Mo Yan opened her bag and pushed a bank card in front of Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows in confusion. ¡°Mr. Qin, I¡¯m sorry that I cannot ept your request. This is the money that my mother owes you for her treatment. In the future, I will also repay the money for the house at the market price, so I hope that my rtionship with Mr. Qin will stop here. In the future, if you need my help with other matters, I will definitely help you.¡± After saying this, Mo Yan was about to leave, but was stopped by Qin Yuan. ¡°It was just a joke. Miss Mo, you don¡¯t have to be so agitated.¡± Qin Yuan gave Mo Yan another cup of tea and said with a smile. ¡°Actually, I was just testing Miss Mo.¡± ¡°Testing?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was still cold as she asked Qin Yuan coldly. Seeing that Mo Yan was still cold, Qin Yuan touched his nose embarrassedly. It seemed that he had put on an act too much. ¡°Yes, yes. In fact, I¡¯m actually more interested in your husband.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s expression slowly turned from cold to stiff. Then, she became even more wary of Qin Yuan and red at him. As soon as Qin Yuan said something shocking, she would put a teacup on his head. Seeing the change in Mo Yan¡¯s expression, Qin Yuan suddenly realized the ambiguity in his words. The two of them looked at each other for a moment, feeling a little awkward. Qin Yuan cleared his throat and said, ¡°To be precise, I¡¯m quite interested in the bracelet that your husband gave you. The jade quality is not bad, and it¡¯s a family heirloom. I thought that your husband was from a good background, so I went to check it out.¡± ¡°Oh, what does that have to do with you trying to test me?¡± Mo Yan said with a wooden face. She didn¡¯t understand the thoughts of rich people. ¡°Uh¡­ I¡¯m just curious about your choice between that kind of family and the tall, rich, handsome.¡± Qin Yuan touched his nose and said hesitantly. Mo Yan¡¯s forehead twitched. How on earth did this young master say that he was tall, rich, and handsome with such a straight face? However, Qin Yuan¡¯s words did give Mo Yan some ideas. Was he testing her character? Chapter 167 Chapter 167 ¡°I¡¯ve made my choice. What do you think, Mr. Qin?¡± Since she was sure that Qin Yuan had no ill intentions towards her, Mo Yan was relieved. ¡°Very good, he didn¡¯t make the wrong choice,¡± Qin Yuan said with a smile. ¡°He?¡± Mo Yan asked in confusion. Qin Yuan didn¡¯t answer. Instead, he asked Mo Yan another question, ¡°I¡¯m very curious why you didn¡¯t leave after getting the medical fees.¡± Many people had asked Mo Yan simr questions. Everyone who knew about Luo Tao¡¯s situation did not understand why Mo Yan would stay by his side. Every time, Mo Yan answered very seriously. ¡°Because I like him.¡± ¡°Like a good-for-nothing hooligan?¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s tone was filled with surprise. ¡°Mr. Qin, do you know? Every time you say that, I have the urge to hit you!¡± Mo Yan smiled and said to Qin Yuan. Mo Yan couldn¡¯t say how she felt about Qin Yuan. He was clearly a stranger, but Qin Yuan had helped her time and time again. However, if they were friends, Mo Yan felt that she wasn¡¯t good enough to be his friend. Therefore, what she wanted to know the most was the reason why Qin Yuan helped her, so that she could determine what attitude she should use to face him. However, it couldn¡¯t be denied that because of Qin Yuan¡¯s help, she had indeed developed a lot of cordial feelings toward Qin Yuan. ¡°Perhaps in your eyes, you only see my husband¡¯s past, but in my eyes, I am facing his real person.¡± ¡°Many people say that he is uneducated, ipetent, and idle, but what I see is Luo Tao, who loves to work out and loves to read. He is not good with words, but he is very good at caring for the people around him. He is also very capable. Not only can he learn to be a trantor, but he will also give me inspiration when I encounter a bottleneck in my work. He¡¯s reliable no matter what. It seems that as long as he¡¯s around, I don¡¯t have to worry about anything¡­¡± At the mention of Luo Tao, Mo Yan started to talk non-stop. Qin Yuan felt his teeth ache. He seriously suspected that his sister-inw did it on purpose and was still thinking about what he said before. After saying a lot of nice things about Luo Tao, Mo Yan finally stopped and gave Qin Yuan a final blow with a smile in her eyes. ¡°You said that I have such a perfect husband, why didn¡¯t I choose him and chose you?¡± Qin Yuan almost choked on his tea. He picked up a tissue to cover up his mouth. In fact, Huo Zhen and his wife were deliberately torturing him! ¡°He doesn¡¯t have as much money as me.¡± After holding it in for a long time, Qin Yuan squeezed out five words. ¡°Well, money can be earned slowly. If such a good husband ran away, you wouldn¡¯t be able to find him,¡± Mo Yan continued to answer. Qin Yun was speechless. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Mr. Qin, do you have any other questions? If not, may I also ask a question?¡± Qin Yuan and Mo Yan looked at each other and instantly felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, before Qin Yuan agreed, Mo Yan spoke, ¡°I wish to know the real reason why you helped me.¡± Mo Yan could not be med for asking so directly, because she really could not think of what he had to gain. Qin Yuan was silent for a moment and said, ¡°Someone asked me to take care of you, but I can¡¯t tell you who that person is.¡± Mo Yan lowered her eyes and looked like she was thinking about something, which made Qin Yuan¡¯s hair stand on end. Could it be that she had guessed something? Only after sending Mo Yan away did Qin Yuan let out a long sigh of relief. Back in the reception room, Qin Yuan turned on hispletely ck phone screen. He didn¡¯t know that the phone was in the middle of a call. ¡°Hello, Huo Zhen, are you satisfied this time?¡± Qin Yuan sat on the sofa with a sullen face and gulped down a few cups of tea. ¡°I¡¯m satisfied.¡± Only two words came from the phone. ¡°Didn¡¯t you hear sister-inw¡¯s confession in Jing City? Why did you use this method to test sister-inw? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being exposed?¡± Upon hearing Qin Yuan¡¯s words, Luo Tao was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible that she suspects me? I feel like she¡¯s praising me on purpose.¡± Qin Yuan recalled Mo Yan¡¯s expression when she spoke. It didn¡¯t seem intentional, but her final expression made Qin Yuan uncertain. ¡°I don¡¯t think so! Sigh! Huo Zhen, you¡¯re worrying about nothing,¡± Qin Yuan ridiculed. ¡°Worrying about nothing?¡± Luo Tao suddenly sneered. ¡°Qin Yuan, didn¡¯t you say that you said you were more interested in me than Mo Yan?¡± ¡°Pfft! Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!¡± This time, Qin Yuan quickly denied, ¡°That was a slip of the tongue! A slip of the tongue! Sister-inw is so smart, I can¡¯t use you as a shield! Otherwise, how can I keep the conversation going?¡± Chapter 168 - Too Embarrassing! Chapter 168 - Too Embarrassing! Luo Tao did not answer, Qin Yuan continued, ¡°I have topare sister-inw¡¯s feelings for you! It¡¯s better to tell my sister-inw that I investigated you two because of you than to reveal your identity for no reason! Even between me and you, sister-inw still chose you. Doesn¡¯t that prove her love for you! ?¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s unreasonable logic gave Luo Tao a headache. Actually, Luo Tao also understood that Qin Yuan was a little flustered at that time. In order to hide his identity for him, Qin Yuan lied a lot. ¡°Okay, you go to Grand Court Hotel to get that Jade.¡± Luo Tao rubbed the space between his eyebrows. On the other end of the phone, Qin Yuan was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly let out a series of wails and wails. ¡°Ah! Huo Zhen! You¡¯re finally willing to give it to me! I¡¯m so touched!¡± Luo Tao pulled his phone away, not wanting to hear Qin Yuan¡¯s call. ¡°Stop fooling around, Go get it yourself. And don¡¯t forget about your investigation.¡± ¡°Okay, brother Huo, leave it to me.¡± After hanging up the phone, Luo Tao went into the bathroom to take a shower. Before he received Mo Yan¡¯s message saying that he didn¡¯t need to pick her up, he had been working out.¡°¡± Ever since the fight with Mo Lian¡¯s men that day, he realized that there were still many parts of his body that were stiff, so he had to continue his physical recovery training. The sound of water sshing could be heard. Luo Tao didn¡¯t hear Mo Yan opening the door. ¡°Luo¡­¡± Mo Yan had just opened her mouth when she was stunned by the scene in front of her. She saw the man in front of her naked upper body. The tight tendons and muscles all over his body showed his strength. The graceful lines of his muscles were hidden under the tight towel tied around his waist, and his pair of long and straight legs made Mo Yan swallow her saliva involuntarily. ¡°Mo Yan.¡± Luo Tao was slightly moved by Mo Yan¡¯s passionate gaze. He called out Mo Yan¡¯s name in a slightly hoarse voice. Mo Yan followed the voice and looked up. Luo Tao¡¯s shiny ck short hair was dripping down his handsome face, making his handsome face appear somewhat seductive. His low and hoarse voice made Mo Yan¡¯s face turn red. It was as if she had drunk a few jars of strong wine and was in a daze. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan called out to Luo Tao like a kitten. Luo Tao had just taken a step forward and wanted to carry Mo Yan, but he did not expect that. ¡°Mo Yan, you¡­¡± Seeing Luo Tao suddenly stop, Mo Yan did not understand. Her eyes reflected Luo Tao¡¯s dumbfounded look. Luo Tao walked to the table, took out a few tissues, and wiped them under Mo Yan¡¯s nose. 1 Mo Yan opened her eyes suddenly after a while. She took the tissues and looked at them. In an instant, she let out a scream and went straight to the bathroom. Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s reaction, Luo Tao could no longer control his movements. He covered his stomach and laughed out loud. Hearing theughter outside the door, Mo Yan felt bad. Seeing a naked body made her nose bleed! She could not be more embarrassed! Moreover, it was not like she had never seen Luo Tao naked. How could she be like that! When she came out of the bathroom, Mo Yan¡¯s face was still dark, causing Luo Tao to only dare tough secretly. Mo Yan red at him fiercely and carried the dishes into the kitchen proudly. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. By the time Luo Tao changed his clothes and went into the kitchen to help, Mo Yan had already washed the dishes. Luo Tao skillfully used a knife to cut them. ¡°Your knife skills are so good. Did you often cut things in the past?¡± Mo Yan asked casually while handling the ingredients. Luo Tao¡¯s hand movements paused and he acknowledged. ¡°Oh right, guess what I went to do after work?¡± As if they were chatting, Mo Yan brought up Qin Yuan and told him everything that had happened since she met Qin Yuan. ¡°Mr. Qin said someone asked him to take care of me. Who do you think this person is?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s hands did not stop, but his eyes were deep as he said, ¡°Maybe it¡¯s someone you helped in the past!¡± ¡°Oh? is that so? I don¡¯t remember helping any big shot. But then again, Mr. Qin is really nice. It¡¯s just that someone asked him to take care of me.¡± The sound of a kitchen knife hitting the chopping board startled Mo Yan. Mo Yan turned to look, but Luo Tao kissed her lips. The passionate kiss made Mo Yan unable to think of anything else. She could only open her red lips for Luo Tao to pick. After the kiss, Luo Tao leaned against Mo Yan¡¯s ear and panted lightly. ¡°Mo Yan, you¡¯ve been saying other men¡¯s names since just now. Do you think I won¡¯t be jealous?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s warm breath pressed against her ear. She held back her trembling movements and said, ¡°No, I just want to tell you everything.¡± ¡°Good girl, don¡¯t go to see other men alone in the future. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Luo Tao said as he kissed Mo Yan¡¯s ear. Mo Yan couldn¡¯t control her body¡¯s reaction anymore and answered with a trembling voice. Chapter 169 - Would Be Back Chapter 169 - Would Be Back The next day, Mo Yan had just arrived at thepany when she found a package on her desk. Inside was her family¡¯s property¡¯s certificate of ownership. All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. In fact, after the incident of Mo Lian wanting her house, Mo Yan had thought about whether or not to fight awsuit with Mo Dong. Back then, her mother and Mo Dong¡¯s divorce assets were not evenly distributed, so if she wanted to fight, she could fight. However, Mo Yan also knew the reason why her mother did not fight awsuit was because of her and Cheng. With Mo Dong¡¯s greedy personality, he would not easily give them half of his assets. Moreover, going to court required time, energy, and money. Her mother could not afford to waste time with him. Moreover, once the court session started, Mo Lian and Cheng¡¯s backgrounds would definitely be exposed. It was fine in Mo Lian¡¯s case, but Cheng was still a child. With the identity of an illegitimate child that everyone knew, it would definitely have a great impact on Cheng. Touching the few words on the certificate of ownership, Mo Yan took a deep breath and revealed a smile. Fortunately, it had not reached that stage yet. She could still protect Cheng for a period of time. ¡­ Just like what Xu Tian said, the news of Chen Jin¡¯s transfer came very quickly. The office was bustling with activity. Because Chen Jin was not the only one who was leaving, Zhou Shuai was also going with him. Therefore, Team A also had a lot of things to hand over. Mo Yan had been in a good mood these two days. Firstly, she had gone to consult the real estate department. Now that the paperwork for her house wasplete, it meant that the house belonged to her familypletely. Secondly, Chen Jin would take Zhou Shuai away. Chen Ya might have to leave some timeter. However, no matter what time it was, as long as she confirmed that the three of them could leave, Mo Yan would be happy. Third, CEO Song had already sent people to Jing City for a field trip. If she won the project, her position as an assistant would be guaranteed. Zhou Shuai and Chen Ya¡¯s situation was bleak. Smoke lingered in Zhou Shuai¡¯s office. He had inquired about H City, and he was very reluctant to leave. He could only be a marginal manager there and had no real power. if he dared to interfere in the company¡¯s affairs, the leader might find a random reason to fire him. Under such circumstances, Zhou Shuai had to think about the future. Should he continue to follow Chen Jin or change jobs just like that? Chen Ya pushed the door open and choked on the smoke. She covered her mouth and nose, and Chen Ya used her hand to p him twice. ¡°Zhou Shuai, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Sitting up straight, Zhou Shuai saw that it was Chen Ya who came, and he looked a little annoyed. He continued to lean against the boss¡¯s chair. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Zhou Shuai did not like Chen Ya at the moment. If it were not for the fact that Chen Ya did not clean up after herself, her uncle would not have been directly sent to H City. ¡°Zhou Shuai, why are you being so rude?¡± Chen Ya yelled at Zhou Shuai. ¡°Why am I being so rude?¡± Zhou Shuai¡¯s voice was even filled with annoyance. Chen Ya held back her anger again and again. She knew that it was her who caused the trouble and caused Zhou Shuai to be transferred, which made him in a bad mood. Taking a deep breath, Chen Ya tried her best to maintain a calm tone. ¡°Zhou Shuai, I don¡¯t want to argue with you. I know that you were implicated by me this time, but uncle said that as long as you can hold on in H City, he will have a way to help youe back.¡± Hearing Chen Ya¡¯s words, Zhou Shuai¡¯s dazed mind instantly sobered up. ¡°Your uncle really said that?¡± ¡°Yes, so don¡¯t be discouraged. We still have to get married in the future! I still have to rely on you! You can¡¯t give up on yourself.¡± Chen Ya put down her attitude and walked to Zhou Shuai¡¯s side. Extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, a glimmer of light shed in Zhou Shuai¡¯s eyes. Zhou Shuai still maintained his dispirited appearance, he sighed and said, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s best if I cane back. If I can¡¯te back, then we¡¯d better not get married. I¡¯m afraid of implicating you. You also know the situation in H City. The sry is low, and I won¡¯t have real power. If that¡¯s the case, how can I give you a good life?¡± Zhou Shuai¡¯s expression of enduring the pain and thinking of Chen Ya deeply touched Chen Ya. He was originally dissatisfied, but now he put it down. Chen Ya held Zhou Shuai¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Don¡¯t say that. It won¡¯t happen. You won¡¯t be there forever. Uncle said that he has a way. As long as you don¡¯t make any mistakes during this period of time, we¡¯ll get married when you¡¯re transferred back to C City.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Zhou Shuai lowered his eyes so that no one could see his expression clearly. Chapter 170 - Shopping Chapter 170 - Shopping On Saturday, Mo Yan received an unexpected invitation. ¡°What is it?¡± Mo Yan popped her head out of the kitchen and looked at the thing in Luo Tao¡¯s hand. Just now, someone knocked on the door. She was cooking, so she asked Luo Tao to open the door. Luo Tao frowned and said, ¡°Mo Lian¡¯s birthday party invitation.¡± ¡°Who are you talking about? Mo Lian? Did I hear wrong?¡± Mo Yan rushed out of the kitchen with a shovel. When she saw the word ¡°Invitation¡±, her eyes widened. ¡°What does she want to do now?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s frown deepened. Although he was prepared to lift Mo Lian up and then throw her down again, this woman was too much. He couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. ¡°I don¡¯t know. The Mo family hasn¡¯t let my family participate in their gatherings all these years. This time, Mo Lian specially sent an invitation letter. It¡¯s obvious that she doesn¡¯t have good intentions.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s face was full of exaggerated disdain as she sessfully teased Luo Tao. This was probably the feeling of liking someone. No matter what she did, she looked cute. As long as he was with her, he would feel happy even if it was an ordinary conversation or an ordinary day. Scratching Mo Yan¡¯s small nose, Luo Tao asked, ¡°What are you going to do?¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Mo Yan thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯m not going! It¡¯s not worth my time? Isn¡¯t it better for me to be with you when I have time?¡± After saying that, Mo Yan hugged Luo Tao¡¯s arm and threw the invitation letter in his hand to the side. Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan¡¯s sparkling eyes, touched her head and smiled, ¡°Okay, then I¡¯m not going. Where do you want to go in the afternoon?¡± ¡°Go shopping! I¡¯ve paid Mr. Qin the money I owe him this month. I still have some left. I¡¯m going to buy you two sets of clothes.¡± Luo Tao was touched. He gently pinched Mo Yan¡¯s lips and said, ¡°Not for me, but for you. Your clothes are old.¡± Following Luo Tao¡¯s line of sight, Mo Yan saw that there was a hole on her short sleeve, so she carelessly touched it twice. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Old clothes are easy to wear. I¡¯m already used to it.¡± Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s bright smile, Luo Tao felt his heart ache and numb. She was obviously unwilling to spend money herself, but she wanted to give him the best. ¡°Why don¡¯t we buy a couple¡¯s outfit?¡± Luo Tao suddenly thought of a couple he saw on the street a few days ago. Even if they didn¡¯t speak and only held hands, just by looking at their clothes, he could tell that they liked each other. Couple¡¯s outfit? Hearing this word, Mo Yan¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. She had also imagined how the two of them would look in a couple¡¯s outfit. However, ever since she came to the city, Luo Tao always dressed in a white shirt and ck pants. She thought that Luo Tao wouldn¡¯t like these things. ¡°Couple¡¯s outfit? Do you like stuff like that?¡± Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s childish It was only thest sentence that Mo Yan did not ask. ¡°Do you like stuff like that?¡± Luo Tao asked back. Mo Yan and Luo Tao looked at each other for a moment, then nodded. ¡°I like it.¡± ¡°Then I like it too.¡± A gentle voice sounded in the small but warm rented room. The scene of Mo Yan holding a spat and Luo Tao looking at each other wasical but sweet. This time, Mo Yan felt that her heart was very close to Luo Tao. ¡°Mo Yan, have you finished cooking?¡± Luo Tao inadvertently nced at the spat in Mo Yan¡¯s hand and subconsciously asked. ¡°Ah! Oh no!¡± Mo Yan reacted for a moment and instantly exploded. She ran back to the kitchen. Not long after, a small head popped out from the door with a face full of depression. ¡°Luo Tao, our lunch is burnt. Can I cook some noodles?¡± Luo Tao pressed his fist against his lips and smiled lightly. ¡°Okay, anything is fine.¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go out to eat?¡± ¡°No need. Instant noodles are very easy and quick to cook.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice came from the kitchen. Instant noodles? Luo Tao raised his eyebrows and walked to the kitchen. ¡­ Luo Tao had never been interested in shopping, but shopping with Mo Yan would always give him a new experience. She would pull him to shop one by one and carefully pick out clothes for him. She would even feel annoyed because she thought all the clothes looked good on him. This was the fifth time Mo Yan hadined. ¡°Luo Tao, you¡¯re the reincarnation of the clothes rack, right? Why do all the clothes look good on you?¡± Mo Yan sat on the stool prepared for customers in the clothing store andined. The man standing in front of the fitting mirror tidied his cor and turned to Mo Yan with a smile, ¡°Your way of praising people is really unique.¡± The three shop assistants standing at the side listened to the conversation between the two and could not help but tease, ¡°Beautifuldy, you¡¯re too sweet. At least take into ount the feelings of us single people!¡± Logically speaking, there should not be three people to receive the two customers, but Mo Yan and Luo Tao, the handsome couple, were really pleasing to the eye. There were not many people in the store, so those who were free came to watch Luo Tao try on clothes.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Chapter 171 Chapter 171 Luo Tao tried on a few more sets of suits. Mo Yan couldn¡¯t take her eyes off each of them. She kept praising how handsome he looked. At some point in time, more and more people entered the clothing store. Some customers even went to the service staff to ask for the same set of clothes after Luo Tao tried them on. Seeing that there were more and more people, Mo Yan quickly picked two sets and pulled Luo Tao away. When the bill was paid, the manager even asked the two of them if Luo Tao wanted to consider bing a model on Saturday and Sunday. Although Mo Yan was very tempted when she heard about the part-time rate, Mo Yan was still a little jealous when she thought about Luo Tao being surrounded by a group of people. After politely rejecting the manager, Mo Yan held Luo Tao¡¯s hand and continued shopping. Looking at Mo Yan who was walking in front, Luo Tao¡¯s expression became gentler. Mo Yan stopped in front of a sportswear store and her gaze fell on a couple¡¯s outfit on the disy window. ¡°Luo Tao, what do you think of this outfit?¡± Mo Yan turned around and asked. Luo Tao followed Mo Yan¡¯s gaze and could not help but frown. He had never tried this style before. Mo Yan nced at him and rolled her eyes. She smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s try it out. The cats on it are so cute.¡± Luo Tao had no way to resist Mo Yan¡¯s coquettishness, so he could only let Mo Yan drag him into the shop. Hearing Mo Yan say that she wanted to try on the couple¡¯s clothes in the shop window, the salesgirl quickly brought them two pieces of suitable sizes. Mo Yan changed quickly. Her tall and slim figure was paired with a high ponytail. Her facial features were exquisite and agile, and her entire person exuded a youthful aura. After not seeing Luo Tao for a long time, Mo Yan looked inside curiously and called out to Luo Tao. Just as Mo Yan was about to go in to look for him, Luo Tao walked out. He seemed to be very unustomed to this set of clothes. His hand was still habitually trying to loosen the button between his throat. ¡°It doesn¡¯t feel right.¡± Luo Tao said to Mo Yan. Although he was still handsome, Mo Yan also felt a little out of ce. Walking around Luo Tao, Mo Yan fixed her gaze on Luo Tao¡¯s neatlybed hair. ¡°You, lower your head.¡± Mo Yan said. Luo Tao did not understand, but he still lowered his head ording to Mo Yan¡¯s words. ¡°Lower it a little more.¡± Mo Yan continued. Luo Tao did as she said. The moment Mo Yan held Luo Tao¡¯s hair with both hands, Luo Tao suddenly realized what Mo Yan wanted to do. Immediately, he felt his hair being ruffled. After ruffling it a few times, Mo Yan finally stopped and let Luo Tao raise his head. Although his hair was a little messy, it could not hide Luo Tao¡¯s handsomeness at all. It even added a bit of unruliness to him. When the two of them stood together, they looked like a sweet university student couple. Mo Yan could not help butugh when she saw Luo Tao staring fixedly at the dog pattern on his clothes. ¡°You look too cute!¡± Luo Tao looked over with a pair of slightly aggrieved eyes. For some reason, Mo Yan felt that his gaze was somewhat simr to that of a dog. Seeing that Luo Tao was silent, Mo Yan deliberately teased him, ¡°How is it? I think we look great. Why don¡¯t we buy this set!¡± At this moment, the shop assistant also smiled and said, ¡°This pair of matching clothes is very popr in our shop, especially for girls. Boys also look very cute in it.¡± Mo Yan nodded and walked around in front of Luo Tao. ¡°Do you think I look good?¡± Luo Tao stared at her intently. Indeed, if he did not look at what she was wearing, Mo Yan did look good. After hesitating for a while, Luo Tao finally made up his mind and said, ¡°If you like it, then we¡¯ll buy this set.¡± Mo Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled evilly, ¡°Am I the only one who likes it? If you don¡¯t like it, then let¡¯s look at others. Anyway, there are a lot of couple¡¯s outfits.¡± Just as Luo Tao was about to say yes, he saw Mo Yan fondling the cat pattern fondly. ¡°I¡­ Like it.¡± He said these three words against his heart, and Mo Yan¡¯s eyes instantly curved into a smile. ¡°Okay, then we¡¯ll take this set. Please help us wrap up the ones that we¡¯ve changed out of.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The shop assistant smiled and went to get a bag. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh in her heart. ¡®This boy spoils this little girl so much. Sigh! Being young is good!¡¯ When she walked out of the clothing store, Mo Yan stretched out her little hand and touched the dog on Luo Tao¡¯s clothes. She smiled like a cunning little fox. Luo Tao sighed. He knew that Mo Yan was doing it on purpose, but he still apanied her to buy such a couple outfit. He was really head over heels for her. ¡°Are you satisfied?¡± Luo Tao asked Mo Yan as he tapped the tip of her nose. Mo Yan grabbed his hand and interlocked her fingers. ¡°I¡¯m satisfied! From now on, you¡¯ll be my big dog.¡± All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. ¡°Okay.¡± In the breeze, Luo Tao¡¯s gentle and doting words drifted into Mo Yan¡¯s ears, making her ears redder. Chapter 172 - Annoying Mosquitoes Chapter 172 - Annoying Mosquitoes ¡°Ha, poor people are only fit to wear these cheap clothes.¡± Just as Mo Yan and Luo Tao were nning where to go next, a voice suddenly sounded. Mo Yan looked up and saw Mo Lian standing not far away, looking at them with a mocking expression. ¡°Mo Yan, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re wearing these clothes to my birthday party! What kind of ce do you think the Mo family vi is?¡± Mo Lian had been upset ever since she couldn¡¯t get her house back that day. Later on, she heard her father say that the young master of the Qin family stopped them from targeting Mo Yan, which made Mo Lian hate Mo Yan even more. She just couldn¡¯t understand why Mo Yan had so many people protecting her. Why? She was the true young miss of the Mo family now. However, why did things never go her way when it came to Mo Yan? Luo Tao looked at Mo Lian indifferently. When she met his eyes, Mo Lian became a little nervous. Mo Lian could not help but take half a step back. She pretended to be calm and said, ¡°I just wanted to say something. You want to hit me?¡± ¡°Of course not! My husband won¡¯t hit you, but I will!¡± Mo Yan continued with a smile. When Mo Lian saw Mo Yan speak, the anger in her eyes instantly soared. She said in a sarcastic tone, ¡°Although I gave you an invitation, you have to wear better clothes. Don¡¯t embarrass the Mo family.¡± ¡°Invitation? What are you talking about? Luo Tao, do you know?¡± Mo Yan said as she winked at Luo Tao twice. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Luo Tao very cooperatively shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Hearing that he didn¡¯t know, Mo Lian frowned. Didn¡¯t she ask the person who sent the invitation if it had already been delivered? These two people didn¡¯t get it? Therefore, Mo Lian asked again, ¡°Did you really not receive it?¡± ¡°No!¡± Mo Yan shook her head with a confused look. ¡°What kind of invitation did you say it was?¡± Mo Yan continued to ask. Mo Lian suppressed her anger and repeated, ¡°An invitation to my birthday party!¡± After a short conversation between Mo Yan and Mo Lian, there were already a few people around gossiping about them. ¡°Oh? I need an invitation in order toe celebrate your birthday! Sigh! Dad is really good to you. He even threw a birthday party for you. Whereas I, the daughter of his ex-wife, actually need an invitation to enter.¡± Mo Yan pretended to be sad and fell into Luo Tao¡¯s arms. Seeing that Mo Lian was staring nkly, Mo Yan did not forget to add, ¡°I¡¯ve lived in the Mo family for nearly 20 years, but dad never threw me a birthday party.¡± Luo Tao hugged Mo Yan in his arms and cooperativelyforted her, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t need a birthday party. Just the two of us. Every year, I will celebrate your birthday with you.¡± Mo Yan nestled in Luo Tao¡¯s arms and quietly raised her head to give him a funny expression. They were having a lot of fun provoking Mo Lian. Mo Yan had said that she would do to Mo Lian what she had done to herst time, so naturally, she had to do what she said. With just a few words, the crowd imagined a melodramatic drama where a man treated his first daughter badly after remarrying. In addition to the contrast in their clothes and Mo Lian¡¯s remarks that she despised the poor, the public opinion was against Mo Lian. In the beginning, Mo Lian would refute them, but soon she realized that everyone was offended by her. Untilter, not many people remembered what the dispute was about, and all they could see was Mo Lian¡¯s ¡®War of words¡¯. As for Mo Yan and Luo Tao, they were done. They went to a lot of ces, but Mo Yan¡¯s wallet was empty. No matter how much she liked the clothes, she could not buy them. She could only remember the name of the shop ande back next month. She thought that after the conflict in the afternoon, the matter of the invitation letter would be over. Unexpectedly, Mo Lian called again in the evening. ¡°Hello.¡± Mo Yan did not have the Mo family¡¯s number on her phone. She did not know who the caller was. ¡°I¡¯m Mo Lian. Bring your husband to the Mo family this weekend.¡± Mo Lian¡¯smanding tone made Mo Yan want to hang up the phone directly. ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Mo Yan said irritably. She felt that the current Mo Lian was like an annoying mosquito that only disturbed people¡¯s sleep. She clearly could not do anything much, yet she still wanted to harass others. ¡°Miss Mo Lian, can you not take a hint?¡± Mo Yan was about to hang up the phone, but was interrupted by Mo Lian¡¯s words. ¡°Mo Yan, don¡¯t you want to know who Mo Cheng¡¯s biological father is?¡± Chapter 173 - Appointment Chapter 173 - Appointment Until Mo Lian hung up the phone, Mo Yan was still in a daze. Luo Tao walked over while wiping his hair and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s gaze stiffly followed the voice and subconsciously revealed a smile. ¡°Are you done showering?¡± Luo Tao nced at her phone and acknowledged. ¡°Who called you just now?¡± Luo Tao continued to ask. Mo Yan hesitated for a moment but still told Luo Tao that it was Mo Lian. After all, Mo Lian had asked Luo Tao to go with her. ¡°She asked me to go too?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s eyes revealed some surprise and turned to smile coldly. ¡°Yes.¡± What does Mo Lian want this time? Mo Yan asked in her heart. Luo Tao sat beside Mo Yan and opened the invitation letter that Mo Lian sent. The exquisite and gorgeous invitation letter was printed with neat handwriting. ¡°Since you think she has bad intentions, then don¡¯t go.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Mo Yan sighed. ¡°She said she knows who Cheng¡¯s father is.¡± ¡°She¡¯s probably lying to you.¡± ¡°Even if that¡¯s the case, we still have to ask.¡± Mo Yan smiled bitterly. She knew that she had no choice but to go. Luo Tao touched Mo Yan¡¯s head that was lowered. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Leaning in Luo Tao¡¯s embrace, Mo Yan nodded slightly. She had to face what she had to face. ¡­ On the weekend, at the birthday party, Mo Lian was holding champagne while greeting her guests. A party hosted by a slightly wealthy family like theirs would usually have people whom they wanted to make friends with to see if they could build a rtionship, invited. Mo Lian was exchanging pleasantries with her guests as she nced at the door from the corner of her eyes. A girl wearing Chanel¡¯stest dress walked to Mo Lian¡¯s side with a ss of wine and greeted the person beside her. When the person saw that she was the only daughter of the richest man in C City, she smiled and made room for the two of them. Wang Nuo asked Mo Lian expressionlessly, ¡°She¡¯s not here yet?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Seeing that she did not look well, Mo Lian did not dare to reply too softly. As the only daughter of the richest man in C City, Wang Nuo had been pampered since she was young. Therefore, every time she thought of the humiliation these two had brought to her, Wang Nuo wanted to tear them into pieces. The guests arrived one after another, but the two figures that she hated to the core were still nowhere to be seen. Wang Nuo was a little anxious as she waited. Just as she was secretly guessing that the two of them didn¡¯t dare toe, there was suddenly a slight commotion at the door. Wang Nuo and Mo Lian looked along the crowd and saw Mo Yan in a light blue short gown with a yful bun on her head, revealing her fair and beautiful swan neck. The high heels on her feet made her look even taller. Dressed like this, Mo Yan was like an elf in the sea, her every frown and smile was iparably lively and pure. However, even though Mo Yan was so beautiful, it still couldn¡¯t cover up the elegance of the man beside her. Wang Nuo could tell that Luo Tao wasn¡¯t wearing any famous brands, but whatever he wore, it made people feel as if they were at a runway show. Whether it was his appearance or aura, she was impressed by him. ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t Mo Yan from yourpany, Qiao Li? Why is she here?¡± Mo Lian heard someone mention Mo Yan¡¯s name. She turned her head and saw two girls standing together and talking about Mo Yan. ¡°Mo Yan?¡± Qiao Li looked up and happened to meet Mo Yan¡¯s eyes. Mo Yan gave her a big smile, causing the surrounding people to gasp. Mo Yan didn¡¯t expect to meet an acquaintance here. She couldn¡¯t help but slowly loosen her grip on Luo Tao¡¯s arm. Sensing Mo Yan¡¯s movements, Luo Tao asked in a low voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I met an acquaintance.¡± Mo Yan gave Luo Tao a reassuring smile. Since it was a birthday party, a birthday gift was essential, even if it was to face the most annoying person. Mo Yan walked to Mo Lian¡¯s side and said with a smile, ¡°Happy birthday.¡± She handed a small box with a beautifully wrapped package to Mo Lian, which was meticulously prepared by her. For this thing, she had specially went to meet Qin Yuan, which made Luo Tao jealous. Mo Lian took the box with a guarded expression. She was prepared to open it in front of everyone in case Mo Yan was ying a trick on her, but her hand was held down by Mo Yan. Mo Yan took a step closer and said, ¡°The thing that I gave you is very interesting. I don¡¯t rmend you open it now.¡± As Mo Yan got closer, Mo Lian subconsciously stepped back. Although she hated Mo Yan, her fear was real. She always felt that Mo Yan was evil. Not to mention being arrested twice and locked up in the police station for a few days, even Wang Nuo, who had been overbearing since she was young, was warned by her family not to take revenge on Mo Yan for this matter. Although they could not take revenge, the two of them refused to let Mo Yan go just like that. That was why they wanted Mo Yan to make a fool of herself today. Chapter 174 - Ugly Old Man Chapter 174 - Ugly Old Man Mo Lian¡¯s eyes were alert. ¡°What did you give me?¡± ¡°A surprise.¡± Mo Yan smiled at Mo Lian. ¡°Actually, you can open it now. Just don¡¯t me me for not warning you.¡± Seeing Mo Yan like this, Mo Lian felt even more ufortable. She looked at the box and put it away. After receiving everyone¡¯s gifts, Mo Lian began to prepare. No matter what scheme she had, she still needed to put on a good show in front of outsiders. Taking advantage of Mo Lian¡¯s departure, Mo Yan pulled Luo Tao to Qiao Li¡¯s side and introduced them. Mo Yan and Qiao Li¡¯s rtionship could not be said to be particrly good. Because Xu Wan was usually in the middle to lubricate things, the few of them got along quite well. But now that Xu Wan was not around, it felt a little awkward. It was the girl next to them who saw that the atmosphere was tense, so she spoke first. The girl was in the same department as Qiao Li and Xu Wan, so they didn¡¯t usually have much interaction. It was only because they bumped into each other at this kind of asion that they got to know each other. Mo Yan introduced herself to the girl, but the girl told her that she was very familiar with her. Mo Yan only needed to think a little before she knew where she met her. Mo Yan wondered if everyone in the company already knew her based on rumors. Not mentioning herself, Mo Yan introduced Luo Tao to the two of them. It would be fine if she didn¡¯t introduce him, but when she introduced the girl, her eyes widened even more. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Mo Yan¡¯s husband is a gangster who has been in prison before? How is it possible!¡± The girl eximed. Mo Yan¡¯s mouth twitched. What¡¯s wrong with this girl? Talking bad about others in front of others? She didn¡¯t dare to look at Luo Tao. Instead, she turned her gaze to Qiao Li. Qiao Li still had a poker smile on her face, but Mo Yan could see that the smile was a little stiff. The girl seemed to have realized that she had said something that she shouldn¡¯t have, so she quickly tried to make up for it. ¡°Haha, it¡¯s all rumors. It¡¯s obviously nonsense. He doesn¡¯t look like a gangster at all!¡± Mo Yan really wanted to hit her, but she held onto Luo Tao¡¯s hand and suppressed her impulse. ncing at Luo Tao secretly, Mo Yan was surprised to find that not only was Luo Tao not angry, he seemed to be in a good mood. ¡°Hmm, may I ask what the rumors about me are saying?¡± The girl was feeling vexed, but when she heard Luo Tao ask this question, she couldn¡¯t help but exim. Luo Tao repeated his question again and quietly waited for the girl¡¯s answer. The girl looked at Qiao Li and then at Mo Yan. Seeing that neither of them had any reaction, she could only tell the truth. Actually, it wasn¡¯t that Mo Yan didn¡¯t want to give a reaction, but that Mo Yan didn¡¯t know what expression to use to respond to her. ¡°The rumors in thepany say that you don¡¯t do your job properly, only know how to fight, and even went to jail. They say that you are a dirty and ugly old man. They even said that Mo Yan married you because you¡­ molested her, that¡¯s why she married you.¡± Mo Yan listened carefully to the long list of words that she said and her eyes widened. What ugly old man? What molested? When this girl said molested, she even thought about it. Before she went to Jing City, there were only the first few. Why were there more rumors after just half a month? When the girl started talking, she carefully observed Luo Tao¡¯s reaction. When she saw that his expression was calm, she thought that he didn¡¯t care. However, when she said thest sentence, she could clearly feel that the man¡¯s aura was getting stronger, and it was suffocating. Mo Yan tugged at Luo Tao and smiled apologetically, ¡°Those people are just jealous and talkative. It¡¯s good that I know what you are like. You don¡¯t have to care about what others say.¡± ¡°Hmm, who are those people?¡± Luo Tao lowered his head and looked at Mo Yan with a pair of pitch-ck eyes. After a moment, Mo Yan could not resist Luo Tao¡¯s gaze and said in self-despair, ¡°Ah! You know it! It¡¯s Chen Ya and the others! They aren¡¯t as good at work as me, so they made up all these rumors.¡± Luo Tao chuckled, letting go of Mo Yan. Seeing the two of them interact, the girl suddenly touched Qiao Li¡¯s arm and whispered, ¡°What are they doing in public?¡± Qiao Li looked at the person beside her and handed her a small cake. It was obvious that she wanted to quickly shut her mouth. In the office, the girl did not like to talk. She did not expect her to be so cheerful in private. Thinking about it, it made sense. If she spoke like this, she would have been hated by everyone in the office.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org. Chapter 175 - Didnt Understand Rich People Chapter 175 - Didn''t Understand Rich People When the few of them were chatting, there would always be people looking in their direction. It was not strange for these people to pay attention to them. After all, Mo Yan and Luo Tao were too eye-catching. With such outstanding looks, it was difficult for them not to attract attention. Mo Lian¡¯s birthday party went on as nned. The Mo family vi was brightly lit. When she saw Mo Lian who was surrounded in the middle by everyone, Mo Yan revealed a mocking smile. ¡°Mo Yan, I¡¯m going out to take a call.¡± Luo Tao bent down slightly and said to Mo Yan. ¡°Okay, don¡¯t go too far.¡± Mo Yan reminded her. She didn¡¯t know the reason why Mo Lian invited her here today, so she was a little worried. Luo Tao smiled at her in aforting manner, picked up his phone and left. The girl who was with Qiao Li was called Zhao Xin. When she saw Luo Tao leave, she went up to Mo Yan and asked, ¡°Mo Yan, is he really your husband?¡±¡®Search wuxiaworld rg on google¡¯ ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Yan nodded with a smile. Although Zhao Xin and Li Guoguo both had friendly personalities, the two of them were fundamentally very different. Zhao Xin¡¯s innocence could be seen through at a nce, and she was also invited by Mo Lian to attend the birthday party. Presumably, not only did shee from a good family background, but she was also doted on by her parents at home. On the contrary, it was Li Guoguo who Mo Yan could not understand. She had an innocent side and a scheming side that made people not dare to get close to her. ¡°Your husband is so handsome and so good. Why would there be such rumors in thepany?¡± Zhao Xin asked with a puzzled face. Mo Yan pursed her lips and secretlyughed. She was naturally happy that someone praised her husband like this. ¡°They are probably just jealous of me!¡± Zhao Xin seemed to agree with Mo Yan¡¯s words and nodded her head vigorously. ¡°Yeah! There are those who like to gossip. I used to be gossiped about just because of the brand of clothes that I wore..¡± ¡°Really?¡± Mo Yan was surprised. It seemed that she was not the only one who received the same treatment as the company. ¡°Unfortunately!¡± As she said that, Zhao Xin sighed. Mo Lian was amused. Thepany was really full of gossip-loving people. Qiao Li looked at Zhao Xin with surprise in her eyes. ¡°I always thought that you didn¡¯t like to talk.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t like to talk, but I don¡¯t dare to. When I told one of my supervisors that the bag she was carrying was fake. She was so upset she even deducted my sry!¡± ¡°And then? You just endured it?¡± Mo Yan asked curiously, while Qiao Li was also waiting for an answer. Zhao Xin smiled mysteriously. ¡°When I told my dad that, he made the supervisor get fired.¡± With a puff, Mo Yan burst outughing, while Qiao Li used her wine ss to block her own smile. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. This answer was really unexpected and reasonable. How could a father let his daughter suffer at work? However, was it alright for her to openly say that she had a backer? ¡°Are you sure you can say this out loud?¡± Mo Yan asked. Zhao Xin wagged her finger. ¡°I have to make use of what I have. Otherwise, it would be a waste for me to be born into such a family.¡± Even though she knew that what Zhao Xin said was wrong, Mo Yan could not find anything wrong with her. Instead, she was convinced by her twisted reasoning. Qiao Li asked, ¡°Zhao Xin, what does your family do? Do they run apany?¡± ¡°Yes, a deliverypany,¡± Zhao Xin nodded and answered. ¡°Why don¡¯t you work at your family¡¯spany?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Zhao Xin¡¯s face was filled with resistance. ¡°I have to work under my father¡¯s supervision every day when I work at my family¡¯spany! When I go home at night, I¡¯m even nagged to do a summary of my work. Now, I sit outside every day in the office, eat snacks and fish. When I go back to my rented house at night, I can still y games and read novels by myself. Isn¡¯t that good? Why do I have to go home to be abused?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes widened when she heard Zhao Xin¡¯s words. So it turned out that a rich family like hers would still discipline their children like this? She had always thought that people like Mo Lian were spoiled rotten and never expected to lift a finger. ¡°You¡¯re right, I understand.¡± Qiao Li spoke first before Mo Yan could speak. What was all this about? Mo Yan¡¯s mouth twitched. What kind of big shot did she know? Qiao Li said she understood? So what was Qiao Li¡¯s identity? This time, Mo Yan didn¡¯t ask anymore. She suddenly felt that she was the only rookie among the people around her. ¡°Right, right! It¡¯s better to live by yourself. No one is watching over you. If it¡¯s possible, I really want to live outside by myself for the rest of my life. I¡¯ll only have to go back during the New Year.¡± At this moment, Mo Yan¡¯s only feeling was that she did not understand the world of the rich. Chapter 176 - Didnt Seem Like Good People Chapter 176 - Didn''t Seem Like Good People Suddenly, two men walked over. The middle-aged man behind Mo Yan looked somewhat familiar. It wasn¡¯t until the two of them walked in front of her that she suddenly remembered that this was the man who had appraised the jade bracelet for her when she was wearing it. Zhao Xin and Qiao Li also noticed the person who came and stopped their conversation. ¡°Hello, Miss Mo. I¡¯m Jiang Ming, the general manager of Hongye Company.¡± Seeing the maning straight for her, Mo Yan was a little vignt. She subconsciously nced at the middle-aged man and said without showing any emotion, ¡°Hello, general manager Jiang.¡± The middle-aged man behind Jiang Ming also stepped forward to introduce himself. ¡°Hello, Miss Mo. I¡¯m Qian Yuan, the manager of Hongye¡¯s Investment Department. I met you briefly in supervisor Chen¡¯s officest time. I wonder if you still remember me.¡±¡±¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. The attitude of these two people made Mo Yan feel a little uneasy. ¡°Of course I remember. You are very good at appreciating jade stones.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± Qian Yuan gave Mo Yan a friendly smile and handed the right to speak back to Jiang Ming. ¡°I heard from Uncle Qian that you have a very good jade bracelet. I wonder if I can have the honor to take a look.¡± After saying that, his gaze gently swept toward Mo Yan¡¯s wrist. Mo Yan noticed his actions and generously held up her wine ss for him to look at. She smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, general manager Jiang. I¡¯m not used to bringing the bracelet out, so I didn¡¯t bring it today.¡± Knowing the purpose of the two of them, Mo Yan slightly let down her guard. ¡°Okay, I wonder if I cane to yourpany to take a look some other day?¡± Jiang Ming¡¯s eyes seemed to be somewhat disappointed, but he continued to ask. Mo Yan frowned slightly. Was the jade bracelet really that beautiful? Moreover, she wouldn¡¯t sell that bracelet, so why would apany¡¯s general managere personally to take a look? ¡°General manager Jiang, are you also a jade lover?¡± A frown shed across Mo Yan¡¯s face, and she asked Jiang Ming with a smile. ¡°Hmm, I also like jade very much. I heard from Uncle Qian that your jade bracelet is a rare item, so I naturally wanted to take a look.¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t know what kind of people liked jade, so she could only reluctantly ept Jiang Ming¡¯s exnation. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll bring the jade bracelet over when I have the chance.¡± The middle-aged man took over the conversation and smiled, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, can I get your contact information? It¡¯ll be easier to contact you in the future.¡± While the three of them were talking, Zhao Xin and Qiao Li walked a little further away. Zhao Xin whispered to Qiao Li, ¡°That person is Jiang Ming! He¡¯s very good-looking! Previously, Dad said that he would introduce him to me, but I don¡¯t know what happened after that.¡± ¡°It¡¯s better to stay away from him,¡± Qiao Li looked at the man and said. ¡°Eh? Qiao Li, do you know something?¡± Qiao Li shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I just heard my parents talking about Hongyepany bing too prominent too quickly. The people in power are not simple people.¡± ¡°Oh, oh! It¡¯s that kind again. People like those are troublesome! They¡¯re either good at scheming, or they¡¯re too smart to be human.¡± Qiao Li couldn¡¯t help but smile when she heard Zhao Xin¡¯s ridicule. However, when her gaze turned to Mo Yan and the other two, it darkened again. She had heard about Mo Yan¡¯s matter in thepany. From the way Mo Yan was dressed, she didn¡¯t seem to have a backer like the rumors said. A so-called backer would be from one of three scenarios. First, they had a good family background. Second, they were a mistress, and third, they were the type of people who were the least likely to be recognized by the leaders and had the support of the leaders. However, ording to the rumors that spread like wildfire, Mo Yan did not seem like any of them. However, if Mo Yan did not have a backer, why were the two managers of Hongye Company so respectful towards her? Seeing that Qiao Li was in a daze, Zhao Xin used her cup to lightly clink with her. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m just worried about Mo Yan.¡± Zhao Xin followed her gaze and said thoughtlessly, ¡°What¡¯s there to be worried about? Mo Yan is in the sales department. It¡¯s good for her to know the leaders of otherpanies.¡± ¡°I think there¡¯s something weird with the way these two treat Mo Yan.¡± After listening to Qiao Li¡¯s words, Zhao Xin nced at Mo Yan again. ¡°This is probably how people treat beautiful women! After all, Mo Yan is so good-looking. To be honest, when I first saw Mo Yan, I was shocked beyond belief! Her face and body proportions were practically out of a manga! I want to look like Mo Yan without makeup.¡± Qiao Li was troubled by Zhao Xin¡¯s out-of-the-box thinking. She sighed helplessly and retracted her gaze. She only wanted to wait for Xu Wan to be around to talk about this matter. It could be considered as a reminder to Mo Yan to be more careful when dealing with people from Hongye in the future. Chapter 177 - The Progress of the Investigation Chapter 177 - The Progress of the Investigation Just now, Luo Tao received a call from Qin Yuan. He had just seen Qin Yuan ying with a piece of grass not far away from the vi. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Luo Tao walked behind him and asked. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Qin Yuan was shocked. He picked up the little kitten and turned around. ¡°Huo Zhen, why are you here?¡± Huo Zhen had just rejected his call. In the end, he saw him in person. Luo Tao nced around, and when he saw that no one was around, he turned his gaze back to Qin Yuan. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already told the people following me to leave.¡± ¡°Okay, what are you doing here?¡± Qin Yuan hade out several times to defend Mo Yan. Why would he appear at Mo Lian¡¯s birthday party? ¡°I didn¡¯t want toe, but the Mo family sent me three invitations saying that they wanted to apologize and that sister-inw woulde. I was afraid that sister-inw would be bullied, so I came.¡± ¡°No one dares to bully her. I can protect her.¡± Luo Tao frowned. He always felt that Qin Yuan and Mo Yan were too close. Qin Yuan saw Luo Tao¡¯s expression and thought to himself, ¡°Huo Zhen, don¡¯t think too much. I thought the Mo family wouldn¡¯t invite you if your identity wasn¡¯t made public, so I came because I had no choice.¡± As he spoke, Qin Yuan even moved the little kitten closer to Luo Tao, trying to shift Luo Tao¡¯s gaze. As expected of a childhood friend, Qin Yuan¡¯s method worked. Luo Tao took a step back and stayed away from Qin Yuan. It was not that Luo Tao hated small animals, but he hated being covered in the fur of small animals. ¡°Stay away from me, ¡°Luo Tao said coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t! Huo Zhen, look at how cute it is. I picked it up on the road, and it can¡¯t even walk steadily.¡± ¡°Picked it up?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was even colder. He continued, ¡°Have you bathed this cat? Have you sterilized it? Picking it up as you wish, aren¡¯t you afraid of it carrying a virus? Are you sure your father won¡¯t kill you?¡± The corner of Qin Yuan¡¯s mouth twitched. Why did Luo Tao suddenly be so talkative? ¡°Huo Zhen, you¡¯re not going to tell on me again, are you? You¡¯ve gone too far!¡± He looked at the little kitten in Qin Yuan¡¯s arms and the words that were about toe out of his mouth were stuck in his throat. ¡°Tell me, why did you call me?¡± Qin Yuan looked at his expression and smiled cunningly. He continued to tease him, ¡°I wanted to tell you that I can help you check on your sister-inw¡¯s situation at any time, but it seems that there¡¯s no need for that now.¡± Seeing that Luo Tao¡¯s gaze was getting colder and colder, Qin Yuan quickly got down to business. ¡°The matter you asked me to investigate, I¡¯ve found some traces, but it has been too long, so it will take some time.¡± ¡°About Mo Yan¡¯s mother?¡± Luo Tao asked. ¡°Yes, I found out about a ssmate of sister-inw¡¯s mother. ording to that person, sister-inw¡¯s mother was picked up by someone.¡± Qin Yuan stroked the little kitten as he told Luo Tao the results of the investigation. ¡°Who picked her up?¡± ¡°ording to the results of the investigation, it was likely Mo Dong, but the woman who helped sister-in- law¡¯s mother out of the hotel has yet to be found.¡± Luo Tao frowned and thought for a moment before asking, ¡°Can¡¯t you find any trace of the hotel surveince camera footage?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t find it. It has been too long.¡± Qin Yuan sighed and shook his head. ¡°We can only wait until we find that woman before knowing the truth.¡± Luo Tao lowered his eyes slightly to hide the cold light in his eyes. Could it be that Mo Dong was involved in this matter? ¡°I remember that the Mo family started making a fortune more than ten years ago.¡± Qin Yuan didn¡¯t know why Luo Tao suddenly said this, but he immediately had a bad guess. ¡°Are you saying that Mo Dong was involved in what happened with sister-inw¡¯s mother?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I just suddenly thought of two things to investigate together.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Qin Yuan was a little interested in this matter now, so it was good to investigate. ¡°By the way, aren¡¯t you afraid of people getting suspicious if you directly deal with that spy from the Grand Court Hotel?¡± ¡°It will be more troublesome if I don¡¯t deal with it.¡± He couldn¡¯t let anyone know about Mo Yan for the time being. Even if someone suspected him, he had to do it. ¡°Okay! As long as you are careful.¡± Qin Yuan said helplessly. Based on the current situation, Qin Yuan did not approve of Luo Tao continuing to be with Mo Yan. Mo Yan had clearly be Luo Tao¡¯s weak spot. No matter what he did, he had to be restrained. If it were not for Mo Yan, Luo Tao could have returned to Jing City. He would be able to arrange troops in the Huo family. Moreover, if there were any changes in Jing City, he could deal with them in person, unlike now. He knew that in order for Luo Tao to return to C City with Mo Yan, Luo Tao had specially ced a substitute at his grandfather¡¯s house in Bordeaux. No matter what excuse Luo Tao had, he had long seen through him. Luo Tao¡¯s eyebrows were tightly furrowed seeing Qin Yuan¡¯s mother-like appearance. He didn¡¯t know what Qin Yuan was thinking. Chapter 178 - The Effect of High Heels Chapter 178 - The Effect of High Heels ¡°Stop looking. I need your help with Mo Lian¡¯s matter.¡± ¡°Mo Lian?¡± Qin Yuan smiled yfully. Luo Tao saw Qin Yuan¡¯s interest and continued, ¡°They are in such a hurry to apologize to you. They probably have something to ask of you. Why not use this to ease their rtionship with the Mo Family?¡± ¡°Yes, and then?¡± Qin Yuan listened very seriously. He felt that Huo Zhen might be trying to cause trouble. Luo Tao¡¯s gaze fell on the brightly lit vi. He smiled lightly and said, ¡°Give Mo Lian a chance to enter the capital circle.¡± Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows. What was the capital circle? It was the collective group for all the young masters and misses of the wealthy families in the capital of Z Nation. Money, reputation, and status were indispensable there. What about Mo Lian? At most, she could rely on her family¡¯s little money to run amok in C City. To put it bluntly, she was a nouveau riche in the eyes of the real wealthy families. Or rather, she could not even be considered a nouveau riche. Bringing such a person into the circle, putting aside whether or not Mo Lian would be blinded by the prosperity and do something illegal, Qin Yuan could not afford to be embarrassed! Thinking of this, Qin Yuan looked at Luo Tao with a sad face. ¡°Young master Huo! Although I am considered a rebel in the circle, I have my limits, okay!¡± Luo Tao nced at him lightly and said, ¡°I only said that I want you to give her a chance.¡± Qin Yuan rolled his eyes and understood what Luo Tao meant. He couldn¡¯t help but smile and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you disdain to argue with Mo Lian before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?¡± ¡°When did I say that I wouldn¡¯t argue?¡± Although he asked this question, Luo Tao knew that Qin Yuan was right. He said that he wanted to punish Mo Lian, but he didn¡¯t say exactly how he wanted to do it. Facing this ant-like small figure, it was really not worth him to make a move. However, this woman¡¯s repeated provocations were really troublesome. ¡°Tsk, that woman Mo Lian, let her hang out with that group of people for a few days and she won¡¯t be able to get away with it!¡± Luo Tao curled his lips slightly. What he gave was only a ¡®chance¡¯. The future development would depend on Mo Lian herself. ¡°Actually, I feel that this woman Mo Lian is quite unlucky to have met you and Mo Yan. One asked me for evidence of her crime, and the other asked me to bring her into the capital circle. Sigh!¡± Qin Yuan frowned deeply as soon as he finished speaking. ¡°This is not right! It was clearly you who wanted to deal with Mo Lian. Why are you making me do it for you?¡± To hide the smile in his eyes, Luo Tao reached out and scratched the kitten¡¯s neck in Qin Yuan¡¯s arms, causing the kitten to snore. ¡°Huo Zhen, do you think sister-inw discovered something? How did she know that I could get the text message records of Mo Lian¡¯s phone?¡± Qin Yuan suddenly recalled the situation when Mo Yan asked him in the afternoon. Mo Yan first asked him if he knew anyone in Jing City, and after he answered that he knew her, she asked him if he was familiar with people in the police station? Seeing that he frowned and nodded, she asked if he could get some information about the case. Qin Yuan felt that maybe Mo Yan knew that he had to take care of her, so she was testing him. However, Qin Yuan did not dare to refuse this test. After all, she was his brother¡¯s woman! In the end, Qin Yuan had to send a small portion of the text message records from Mo Lian¡¯s phone to Mo Yan. The police would not let it leak before the person who was really involved in the case was convicted. ¡°She shouldn¡¯t. Before she went to find you, she told me that she didn¡¯t know if it would work.¡± Qin Yuan nodded and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. ¡­ When Luo Tao and Qin Yuan staggered into the vi, it was already time for Mo Lian to cut the cake. The people close to Mo Lian surrounded the city, including Mo Dong and Chang Lu. The closer the people were to the Mo family, the farther away they were from the Mo family. Luo Tao saw Mo Yan and the others at the edge. When Luo Tao walked closer, he noticed that besides Mo Yan and her two colleagues, there were two other men standing by the side. He didn¡¯t know if they had talked to Mo Yan. Mo Yan was the first to notice Luo Tao. She opened and closed her red lips to let him pass, but she did not make a sound. It was not until Luo Tao walked closer that Mo Yan grabbed his arm andined softly, ¡°You¡¯re finally back. My feet hurt from standing in high heels. Hurry up and help me.¡± Mo Yan usually had to run errands, so she did not usually wear high heels. Now that she was suddenly wearing them and standing for such a long time, she felt that her feet were numb. ¡°It¡¯s almost over. We¡¯ll leave in a while.¡± Luo Tao smiled lightly and pressed Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder. His hand conveniently wrapped around Mo Yan¡¯s waist, letting her put all the weight of her body on him. Seeing that Mo Yan had finally rxed, he felt a little heartache and said, ¡°Next time, don¡¯t wear it if you¡¯re not feeling well.¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Now that she had someone to rely on, Mo Yan felt that her calves and stomach were a little sore. She pouted at Luo Tao and said, ¡°How can I not wear it? High heels are a woman¡¯s weapon. Not only are they beautiful, but they can also be used to hit people.¡± Chapter 179 - Probing Chapter 179 - Probing From the moment Luo Tao walked over, Jiang Ming¡¯s peripheral vision had been fixed on him. The more Jiang Ming looked at him, the more he felt that this person was the legendary fourth master Huo who had narrowly escaped death, regardless of whether it was his appearance or his imposing manner. As if sensing Jiang Ming sizing him up, Luo Tao shifted his gaze over. His pair of calm eyes made people¡¯s scalps go numb. Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment. He did not pretend that he did not see it. Instead, he walked over to Mo Yan and Luo Tao. ¡°This is your husband?¡± Jiang Ming asked with a smile. 1 Mo Yan didn¡¯t know why he came over again, so she could only nod in agreement and introduce him to the two of them. ¡°This is my husband, Luo Tao. Luo Tao, this is the general manager of Hongye Company, Jiang Ming, and the head of the investment department, Qian Yuan.¡± Jiang Ming first reached out his hand to Luo Tao to show his friendliness. Luo Tao slightly lowered his eyes and nced at the hand that was handed over. Seeing that Mo Yan was puzzled because he did not move, Luo Tao quickly reached out and shook Jiang Ming¡¯s hand. Even though he sensed Luo Tao¡¯s dislike, Jiang Ming still maintained his smile and said, ¡°I heard from Uncle Qian that the jade bracelet that Miss Mo wore before was a gift from you. I wonder if you bought it or passed it down?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s gaze that looked at Jiang Ming was indifferent but also contained a hint of wariness. subconsciously, he felt that this person was not simple. ¡°Ancestral.¡± Luo Tao said two words lightly. Jiang Ming nodded as if he understood, ¡°Uncle Qian estimated that the value of the jade bracelet is around one to two million. I wonder what business does your amily engage in?¡± ¡°My family members are dead. When the elders were alive, I heard that they would asionally sell jade.¡± Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao in surprise. This was the first time she heard Luo Tao mention the origins of the bracelet. ¡°Oh? May I know the location where the jades were sold?¡± Jiang Ming continued to ask. Mo Yan felt that something was not right. Was this person trying to probe something? Even she had not inquired so carefully before. Luo Tao¡¯s expression was still the same as before. ¡°Pingsong Street Antiques Market.¡± Pingsong Street Antiques Market in City C had been around for a long time. There were many stalls selling antiques and jade articles. There were a lot of fakes there. Of course, there were also genuine ones. It only depended on whether one had the luck and the ability to distinguish them. Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Tao with a deeper gaze. He was now very suspicious of Luo Tao¡¯s identity. If Mo Yan¡¯s husband was Huo Zhen, he would have quickly revealed his identity. Luo Tao¡¯s answer did not give him any specific information about himself. At this moment, Mo Yan smiled and said, ¡°Manager Jiang, if you really like jade so much, why don¡¯t you go directly to the Qin family¡¯s Jade store to choose.¡± Jiang Ming turned his gaze back to Mo Yan, his eyes seemed to have a deeper meaning. ¡°Mm, true. Then I won¡¯t disturb you for now. I¡¯ll have a detailed discussion with you in the future.¡± ¡°Okay, manager Jiang.¡± Ever since Jiang Ming came over, Luo Tao had always maintained a cold attitude, while Mo Yan¡¯s smile did not change. The two of them had a simr attitude. After Jiang Ming left, he whispered to Qian Yuan beside him, ¡°Uncle Qian, help me investigate Mo Yan and her husband.¡± ¡°Young master, you said you saw someone who looked like fourth young master Huo in C City. Could it be that you¡¯re talking about Miss Mo¡¯s husband?¡± ¡°Hmm, you noticed? Did I make it very obvious?¡± Jiang Ming asked with a frown. Qian Yuan recalled what happened just now and said, ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re acting a little anxious.¡± ¡°Then investigate as soon as possible! No matter what you find, don¡¯t take any action for the time being.¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Yes, Young Master.¡± The two of them were talking as they walked. Their voices were not loud, so no one heard them. Over here, Luo Tao looked at the backs of the two of them with a deep gaze. ¡°Who are they?¡± Luo Tao asked. Mo Yan followed his gaze and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not too familiar with them.¡± After she finished, she continued to exin, ¡°Previously, when I wore the jade bracelet to thepany, Chen Ya said that I was wearing a fake. Then, I met this manager Qian from Hongye Company who came to thepany to discuss something, so I asked him to do an appraisal.¡± ¡°Okay, stay away from them in the future.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan agreed without hesitation. Hearing her straightforward answer, Luo Tao was stunned for a moment and asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask me the reason?¡± Mo Yan chuckled. ¡°They don¡¯t seem like good people, interrogating you the first time they met you! Even if they¡¯re using this jade bracelet as a cover, my jade bracelet isn¡¯t for sale, so why are they paying so much attention to it? Are they really just looking? It shouldn¡¯t be that simple! Moreover, I feel that they¡¯re more curious about the person who gave me the jade bracelet than the jade bracelet.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were filled with gratification as he stroked Mo Yan¡¯s head. Mo Yan pulled his hand down unhappily. ¡°You¡¯ve messed up my hair.¡± Looking at her hair that was slightly ruffled by his touch, Luo Tao coughed lightly, ¡°It¡¯s alright! It¡¯s not messed up.¡± Chapter 180 - Supporting Luo Tao Chapter 180 - Supporting Luo Tao Music slowly sounded in the hall. Some people began to leave. At this time, Mo Yan noticed that Mo Lian had invited quite a number of university ssmates. Mo Yan wanted to find an opportunity to ask Mo Lian about Cheng, but Mo Lian had always had people around her. Seeing that it was gettingte, Mo Yan said to Luo Tao, ¡°Luo Tao, I¡¯ll go look for Mo Lian.¡± Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan gently and replied, ¡°Okay.¡±. Just as Mo Yan turned around, she bumped into a person holding a wine ss. The red wine stained Mo Yan¡¯s gown. In the next second, Luo Tao¡¯s suit jacket was ced in front of Mo Yan, and he looked at the woman with an unperturbed expression. ¡°Yo! It¡¯s you!¡± Hearing these unkind words, Mo Yan frowned and turned her head to look. This girl seemed familiar, but she couldn¡¯t remember where she had seen her before. ¡°Apologize,¡± Luo Tao said with a cold expression. Wang Nuo looked at Luo Tao¡¯s handsome face with a hint of infatuation in her eyes, and then she said contemptuously, ¡°An illegitimate daughter is worthy of me apologizing to her?¡± The words ¡°Illegitimate daughter¡± were like a warning bell, instantly helping Mo Yan recall their previous meeting. Mo Yan¡¯s eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, subconsciously ncing at Mo Lian. Unexpectedly, Mo Lian was also looking over, looking as if she was gloating over Mo Yan¡¯s misfortune. Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in her heart. Mo Yan tugged at Luo Tao¡¯s sleeve and said, ¡°Luo Tao, forget it, let¡¯s go home!¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Luo Tao felt a little heartache. He lowered his head and tucked Mo Yan¡¯s scattered hair behind her ear. Seeing this, the jealousy in Wang Nuo¡¯s eyes grew even more intense. ¡°Why are you leaving? If you go out like this, people will think that the Mo family is not treating their guests well! Men, bring this young lady to change her clothes.¡± As they spoke, Mo Lian also walked over. Their ce had be the focal point because of the arrival of the main character of the banquet. Seeing that they were about to be surrounded again, Mo Yan said with a cold face, ¡°No need, we have to go.¡± Just as she was about to pull Luo Tao away, Mo Lian quickly took a step forward and whispered to Mo Yan, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to know?¡± ¡°What tricks are you nning to y?¡± Mo Yan felt that she could no longer control the anger in her heart. Seeing that Mo Yan was like this, Mo Lian revealed a smug look and said with a smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t have time just now, but now I do.¡± Mo Yan took a deep look at Mo Lian, said something to Luo Tao, and then left with the servants of the Mo family. After Mo Yan left, Mo Lian also called everyone to eat. Before she left, she even gave Wang Nuo a look. ¡°Your name is Luo Tao, right?¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. This was the second time Wang Nuo asked Luo Tao this question. The first time, Luo Tao ignored her, and the second time was the same. Luo Tao directly ignored her. He walked to the table and took a ss of wine. He ced it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it. He frowned slightly. ¡°I¡¯ve looked into you. You¡¯re 27 years old. Both your parents are dead. You dropped out of high school and lived alone. You didn¡¯t have a stable job. After that, you were sentenced to six years in prison because you identally hacked someone to death in a gang fight. After you got out of prison, someone mentioned your marriage to the Mo family. That¡¯s why you were married to Mo Yan.¡± Luo Tao shifted his gaze to the woman in front of him. He was a little doubtful if this woman was stupid. If he was really Luo Tao, when faced with someone who could thoroughly investigate his background, his first reaction would probably be to stay as far away from this person as possible! When Wang Nuo saw Luo Tao look at her, she could not help but reveal a smug smile. ¡°Poor thing, getting married to Mo Yan! You don¡¯t have a job, and her sry is so low.¡± As he spoke, Wang Nuo actually took a step forward and wanted to touch Luo Tao¡¯s chest, but he dodged. Wang Nuo chuckled and continued, ¡°Why are you avoiding me? I won¡¯t do anything to you. I just want to see what brand this shirt is from.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were cold and his face was indifferent. ¡°If you have something to say, say it.¡± ¡°How about you date me? You look like my type. Oh, right! I forgot to introduce myself. I¡¯m the only daughter of the richest man in C City, Wang Nuo. I can support you for whatever you want to do as long as you don¡¯t cause trouble. She walked to Luo Tao¡¯s side and picked up a ss of wine. ¡°The richest man in C City?¡± Luo Tao smiled lightly, and the contempt in his eyes shed away. Wang Nuo was captivated by Luo Tao¡¯s smile, and unconsciously nodded her head. ¡°So you¡¯ve taken a fancy to me?¡± Luo Tao lowered his eyes and spoke in a t tone. For some reason, Wang Nuo felt that Luo Tao was obeying her with this appearance. His cold voice was also imprinted on Wang Nuo¡¯s heart, making her unconsciously fall for him. Chapter 181 - Jealousy Chapter 181 - Jealousy ¡°Yes, I like you, I like your face.¡± Wang Nuo said infatuatedly. Luo Tao yed with the wine ss in his hand. The red wine swayed along with his movements. Through the transparent ss, she could see that Luo Tao¡¯s gaze had been fixed on the corner where Mo Yan had left. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Since you¡¯ve investigated me so thoroughly and even know that I¡¯ve been in prison, aren¡¯t you afraid of me?¡± Luo Tao asked casually. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid, as long as you don¡¯t do anything out of line when you¡¯re with me.¡± After saying that, Wang Nuo raised her head to look at Luo Tao¡¯s face and bit her lower lip. She continued, ¡°Even if you do it, it¡¯s fine. As long as it¡¯s within my family¡¯s ability, I¡¯ll help you settle it.¡± Luo Tao did not care about Wang Nuo¡¯s expression at all. He did not even look at her. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you liked me so much.¡± Wang Nuo thought that Luo Tao was only saying this because he had confirmed her feelings. She quickly said, ¡°I, I have fallen in love with you at first sight since the first time I saw you. I like you.¡± When she said this, Wang Nuo unconsciously felt like a little girl. Her face blushed. What she said was not false. From the first time she met Luo Tao, she had been drawn to Luo Tao. She looked quite pretty, and she had such a family background. Even if Mo Lian was the main character of today¡¯s birthday party, she still could not take away her elegance. There were countless men around her, but in her eyes, Luo Tao, who looked down on her, was the most special. From the moment Luo Tao entered the hall, he was the focus of everyone¡¯s attention. He was like the bright moon on the horizon, and no one dared to desecrate him. However, that little slut still dared to brazenly walk to Luo Tao¡¯s side knowing he was married. She was annoying. ¡°Miss Wang, are you confessing to me? Don¡¯t forget, I¡¯m already married.¡± ¡°You can get a divorce if you get married. You¡¯ve had such a hard time with her. Why don¡¯t you stay with me?¡± Wang Nuo quickly answered, as if she couldn¡¯t wait. ¡°Divorce? Why? You want to marry me after the divorce? Can your family ept a son-inw with a criminal record?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s words did not conceal the mockery in his tone. He was a little worried seeing that Mo Yan was taking a long time to change. Wang Nuo did not seem to hear the disdain in Luo Tao¡¯s words. She thought about it seriously and said, ¡°My family indeed cannot ept it. However, I am father¡¯s only daughter. He loves me very much. If I want to marry you, he should agree.¡± Hearing the long list of words from the woman, Luo Tao only felt bored. His eyebrows furrowed slightly and an impatient expression appeared on his face. ¡°Miss Wang.¡± Luo Tao called out to Wang Nuo. Wang Nuo raised her head in a daze, waiting for Luo Tao¡¯s next words. Luo Tao ced the wine ss on the table, raised his right hand, and said to the woman opposite him, ¡°You probably don¡¯t understand why so many people are afraid of murderers!¡± Following Luo Tao¡¯s words, Wang Nuo¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. ¡°At that time, I stabbed that person¡¯s body with my knife. You know that, right! A person¡¯s fat is quite thick, but I could stab him to death with a knife. That person¡¯s blood was very hot. Not only did it stter on my hands, but also on my face. The smell of blood was all around me.¡± Wang Nuo¡¯s pupils gradually dted and her face turned pale. The wine ss in her hand trembled involuntarily. Who knew that Luo Tao had not finished speaking. ¡°At that time, the people around me were all scared silly. The person who was stabbed by me was in great pain and scared. I discovered that he wanted to escape. Then, I suddenly pulled out my knife.¡± It was still Luo Tao¡¯s handsome face, but in Wang Nuo¡¯s eyes, he looked like a demon crawling out of Hell. Luo Tao took a step forward, and Wang Nuo took a step back. It was not until Wang Nuo¡¯s body mmed into the table that Luo Tao stopped his approach. ¡°Luo Tao.¡± Suddenly, a gentle voice was heard. Luo Tao turned his head and could not help but frown. Mo Yan was wearing a ck dress as she slowly walked over. The neckline design of the dress made Mo Yan reveal the smooth and graceful lines of her shoulders and her fair and slender arms. The fishtail dress on her lower body made people involuntarily stare. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing Luo Tao¡¯s expression, Mo Yan asked. Did he think that this dress didn¡¯t look good? But when she looked in the mirror before, she felt that it was okay! ¡°It¡¯s too revealing.¡± After a long while, Luo Tao finally squeezed out three words. Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°This dress¡¯s size suits me. I can¡¯t help it.¡± In order not to let Luo Tao be upset over the dress, Mo Yan shifted her gaze to the side. As soon as she returned, she saw that Luo Tao seemed to be talking to this woman. The two of them were still so close to each other, causing Mo Yan to feel a sour feeling in her heart. She walked over a little faster as well. Chapter 182 - Honest Luo Tao Chapter 182 - Honest Luo Tao ¡°Luo Tao, what were you doing just now?¡± Because she hated this woman, Mo Yan did not mention her. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Luo Tao did not look at Wang Nuo. He smiled faintly at Mo Yan and said, ¡°I chatted with Miss Wang for a while.¡± ¡°Oh? Tell me about it.¡± Mo Yan did not expect Luo Tao to be so honest. She was curious and asked in front of Wang Nuo. She wanted to know what Luo Tao would say and whether he would tell her the truth. Wang Nuo wanted to stop her, but Luo Tao spoke first. He looked into Mo Yan¡¯s eyes and his expression became gentler. ¡°Miss Wang said that she likes me and wants to keep me.¡± ¡°Cough!¡± Mo Yan almost choked on the mouthful of red wine that had just entered her mouth. Wang Nuo also looked at Luo Tao in disbelief. Luo Tao, on the other hand, continued to expose the truth with an innocent look on his face. ¡°Miss Wang has investigated us thoroughly. She knows that I don¡¯t have a job and that I am suffering being with you. She said that if I am with her, she can support me. She even said that she doesn¡¯t mind that I have been in prison before. If I am with her, she will settle any problems in the future.¡± The corner of Mo Yan¡¯s mouth twitched as she looked at Wang Nuo. When she saw the expression on Wang Nuo¡¯s stunned face, she wanted tough. ¡°Is there anything else? What were you doing when I came?¡± Mo Yan asked. Luo Tao touched his nose and said, ¡°I made a joke with Miss Wang and told her the reason for my imprisonment. Of course, those were all fake. Miss Wang, don¡¯t mind me.¡± Even though he said that to let Wang Nuo not mind, the coldness in Luo Tao¡¯s eyes did not diminish. Instead, there was more mockery. Seeing that Luo Tao was almost done, Mo Yan turned her gaze to Wang Nuo and asked, ¡°Miss Wang, are you trying to be his mistress?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice woke Wang Nuo up. Her fear of Luo Tao was instantly reced by her disgust for Mo Yan. ¡°Ha! A mistress? I don¡¯t want to be a mistress. I¡¯m just giving him a better choice.¡± ¡°Miss Wang, I don¡¯t know what your definition of a mistress is but I can exin to you what a mistress is in the eyes of a normal person. A mistress is a third party who interferes in another person¡¯s marriage and emotions. If we exclude the uncertainties in a rtionship and only talk about marriage, it means a person who destroys another person¡¯s family or destroys another person¡¯s legal marriage. Luo Tao and I are not a couple. We are husband and wife. It¡¯s reasonable and legal, and we have no intention of dissolving our rtionship. You said that your actions are what a mistress would do. Are you sure?¡± Mo Yan replied with a smile. While Wang Nuo and Luo Tao were talking, there were also people who paid attention to them. However, Wang Nuo was always paying attention to her surroundings. When she saw that someone wanted to get close to them, she immediately red back. However, when Mo Yan came back, along with Luo Tao¡¯s previous words, it immediately shocked Wang Nuo. When she was in a daze, people gradually surrounded her. Now that Mo Yan mentioned it, Wang Nuo suddenly turned her head and looked around. Those men who originally had a good impression of Wang Nuo, subconsciously avoided Wang Nuo¡¯s gaze. Even if they wanted to benefit from the Wang family, they had to see if they could afford to be cuckolded before they had even started dating. ¡°You! Little slut, you did it on purpose! And you! How dare you do this to me! I won¡¯t let you off!¡± Wang Nuo first pointed at Mo Yan and cursed, then pointed at Luo Tao. Looking at Wang Nuo¡¯s finger, Luo Tao¡¯s eyes became colder and colder. The aura around him made the people closest to him retreat a little. ¡°A person must first humiliate herself, and then others will humiliate her. Miss Wang, I just went to change my clothes, and you came to show your love to my husband. Since you can do such a thing, do you still care what others say or think?¡± Mo Yan had a mocking look on her face. She dared to take advantage of her absence to steal her corner. For such a person, if she tolerated her any longer, she would be a coward. ¡°Me? I didn¡¯t, don¡¯t frame me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m framing you?¡± Mo Yanughed and said, ¡°From the time I left until I came back, Luo Tao almost never moved. And you just spilled wine all over me. When I came back, I found that you had been sticking to my husband. Am I framing you? I now suspect that you intentionally spilled wine on me just now to drive me away and confess to my husband.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s every word was precise. She directly nailed Wang Nuo to the pir of shame. Wang Nuo¡¯s face alternated between green and white. It was not that she did not want to refute, but Mo Yan was telling the truth. Furthermore, Luo Tao was looking at her like he was looking at a clown. This caused a devastating blow to Wang Nuo¡¯s self-esteem. Wang Nuo was so angry that her body was trembling. Two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks. She covered her face and rushed out of the crowd. Chapter 183 - Going to Apologize? Chapter 183 - Going to Apologize? Due to Wang Nuo¡¯s sudden departure, the Mo family vi became noisy for a while. Mo Yan and Luo Tao seemed to be fine as they stood at the wine table and chatted. ¡°She¡¯s a girl. Did we go too far?¡± Mo Yan was a little uneasy. After all, the other party was an unmarried girl. Wasn¡¯t it not too good for them to be so mean? Luo Tao teased Mo Yan, ¡°You regret it? Do you want to apologize to her?¡± ¡°What? Why would I apologize to her? I didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± Mo Yan lightly hit Luo Tao¡¯s arm. ¡°Then why do you feel that it¡¯s too much?¡± Luo Tao asked with a smile. Mo Yan thought about what Luo Tao said and realized that he was right! She did not do anything wrong. It was clearly that Miss Wang who insulted her first and wanted to steal her husband. Why should she feel guilty? Should she feel that it would damage Miss Wang¡¯s reputation? Since she had done something, she had to bear the corresponding consequences. If a few drops of tears could clear her name, then there would be no distinction between ck and white in the world. After thinking things through, Mo Yan did not dwell on the previous matter. At this moment, Zhao Xin and Qiao Li also walked over. They were a little puzzled when they saw that there were quite a few people missing in the hall. ¡°Is the party over?¡± Zhao Xin asked. ¡°No, something happened. Did you guys go out just now?¡± Zhao Xin said with a depressed expression, ¡°Yes, my stomach hurt. I went to the toilet.¡± Could it be that she had not seen the two of them since just now? No wonder¡­ ¡°What happened? Tell me.¡± Zhao Xin heard from Mo Yan that something had happened and her face was filled with curiosity. She had also heard from thepany that Mo Yan had a constitution that caused trouble. Even if she did not do anything, there would still be people who would cause trouble. This made Zhao Xin feel that it was especially interesting. Especially since Zhao Xin was someone who liked to listen to gossip, she wanted to know more about Mo Yan¡¯s matter. Mo Yan nced at Luo Tao helplessly. Seeing that Luo Tao acted as if it had nothing to do with her, she sighed. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just that my clothes have been dirtied.¡± ¡°Oh, oh, I know about this. When I came over, I saw that you had changed your clothes. But you look so beautiful in this dress. Which brand is it?¡± Zhao Xin circled around Mo Yan and nodded as she spoke. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. I don¡¯t know what brand it is.¡± Mo Yan also lowered her head to take a look. Qiao Li¡¯s gaze fell on the waist line of the gown and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s branded. It¡¯s just an ordinary gown.¡± ¡°Eh? Is that so? I thought Mo Lian was so prideful that she would at least give me a branded dress!¡± Qiao Li smiled lightly and did not answer. Meanwhile, Mo Yan looked at Qiao Li and could not help but marvel at the fact that the people around her were really hiding secrets! Just now, when she went to change her clothes, she had just turned the corner when she met Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun was the nanny who opened the door for Mo Yan when Mo Yan camest time. She had once taken care of Mo Yan for a period of time. When Aunt Sun saw that it was Mo Yan, she told the others to leave and brought Mo Yan to change her clothes. Aunt Sun was also the only person that Mo Yan could trust in the Mo family. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. When only the two of them were left, Mo Yan said, ¡°Aunt Sun, long time no see. How have you been recently?¡± Seeing that there was no one else, Aunt Sun also showed a loving expression. ¡°Thanks to you, I¡¯ve been fine. I wonder how your mother is now. I¡¯ve been staying here and didn¡¯t dare to visit.¡± ¡°Mother is fine now. Sorry for making you worry,¡± Mo Yan replied with a smile. Aunt Sun turned to look at Mo Yan with a gratified look in her eyes. ¡°You have changed a lot since the last time you came here. You seem to be doing well.¡± Mo Yan smiled and did not answer. She also felt that she had changed a lot. Not only did she have a different mindset, but she also had a way of dealing with people. In the past, she always believed in taking a step back. Now, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Rather than getting angry at herself, she would rather everyone did the same. Thinking of this, the smile on Mo Yan¡¯s face could no longer be restrained. Aunt Sun brought her to the room where she was changing clothes. Because Miss Wang was not friendly to her, when she saw that there was only one piece of clothing that suited her, Mo Yan paid extra attention and checked the clothes from top to bottom, after making sure that there were no signs of human damage, she dared to wear it. As it was designed to be a necktie, Mo Yan had Auntie Sun help her tie it. She was afraid that it would not be reliable. ¡°Mo Yan, what are you thinking about?¡± Suddenly, Zhao Xin¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°I¡¯m not thinking about anything. I just don¡¯t know when this party will end.¡± She still had something to ask Mo Lian. Of course, Mo Yan did not say thest sentence. Zhao Xin looked around and continued Mo Yan¡¯s words, ¡°It should be soon! Most of the people have left.¡± Chapter 184 - Chengs Father Chapter 184 - Cheng''s Father ¡°Mo Yan,e out with me.¡± Mo Lian had unknowingly walked over and said to Mo Yan in a bad mood. Mo Lian¡¯s hatred towards Mo Yan could no longer be described with words. If killing someone was not against thew, Mo Lian would probably take a knife and stab Mo Yan to death. Although Mo Lian came with ill intentions, in order to find out about Cheng¡¯s background, Mo Yan still chose to go out with Mo Lian. After motioning to Qiao Li and Zhao Xin, Mo Yan left after speaking to Luo Tao alone. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Outside the vi, the night was soft and beautiful. A gentle breeze blew, bringing with it the fragrance of flowers and nts. Mo Lian and Mo Yan walked out one after another. Mo Yan did not want to waste any more time, so she said, ¡°Where are we going? Let¡¯s talk directly here.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s begging me now.¡± As Mo Lian spoke, her footsteps did not stop, and there was a vicious expression on her face. Wang Nuo was invited by her. Many people came because she was the best friend of the only daughter of the richest man in C City. Who knew that the moment Mo Yan appeared, she would embarrass Wang Nuo like this. Before Wang Nuo left, she even shouted at her. If Mo Yan didn¡¯t pay the price, she would not let her off. It was clearly Wang Nuo who caused herself to be humiliated, yet she still med her. Mo Lian was currently filled with anger, not only towards Mo Yan, but also towards Wang Nuo. Clenching her fists tightly, Mo Yan took two deep breaths and suppressed her anger to follow Mo Lian¡¯s footsteps. Mo Lian only stopped when she reached the area where she could swim and rest. Mo Yan nced at the pool and subconsciously moved away from the edge of the pool. ¡°Speak,¡± Mo Yan said coldly. Mo Lian gave Mo Yan a contemptuous smile. ¡°Do you really want to know who the father of that little bastard is?¡± ¡°Mo Lian, do you think that today¡¯s party is not exciting enough and you need me to give you another p?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s expression became colder and colder. After being together with Luo Tao for a long time, Mo Yan had also been infected by his aura. In an instant, Mo Lian thought of the p in front of the beverage shop and Mo Yan¡¯s merciless attitude towards Wang Nuo. The words that she wanted to continue insulting Mo Cheng were stuck in her throat. Mo Lianughed dryly and said stubbornly, ¡°If you dare touch me, Mo Yan, you will never know Mo Cheng¡¯s background in this lifetime.¡± Mo Yan looked at her indifferently. ¡°If you can know, why can¡¯t I find out? The reason why I came tonight was to make things more convenient. If you insist on not saying anything, I really can¡¯t do anything to you. However, you probably won¡¯t be able to escape after being beaten up.¡± Mo Lian was frightened by Mo Yan¡¯s imposing manner. She walked to the recliner where she was resting and took a sip of her wine. Mo Yan also walked over and stood in front of Mo Lian. ¡°I don¡¯t know who Mo Cheng¡¯s father is.¡± When Mo Lian said this, Mo Yan¡¯s expression instantly changed. It was as if her eyes were staring at a dead person. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know, I¡¯m sure someone knows.¡± Mo Lian was afraid that Mo Yan would ignore her ande to hit her, so she quickly said. ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Dad, Dad knows.¡± ¡°Mo Dong?¡± Mo Yan frowned. Her mother said that she didn¡¯t see Mo Dong when she woke up the next day, so how would Mo Dong know who Cheng¡¯s father was? Mo Yan felt that Mo Lian was lying again, so she grabbed Mo Lian¡¯s cor and said, ¡°You¡¯re lying to me.¡± Mo Lian rolled her eyes. She tried to break free from Mo Yan¡¯s restraint with both hands, but she didn¡¯t let go no matter how hard she hit and scratched Mo Yan. She even tightened Mo Yan¡¯s cor. ¡°No! I remember that a few days before dad brought me and mom to you, he was furious. He even¡­ even scolded your mom.¡± Mo Yan felt her head buzzing. She could not figure out how Mo Dong was involved in this matter. Suddenly, she heard someone¡¯s voice from the other side of the pool. Mo Yan shook Mo Lian off and said coldly, ¡°Mo Lian, you know that I¡¯m not the Mo Yan that you can bully. So if you dare to lie to me, think carefully about the consequences.¡± After saying that, Mo Yan turned around and left. Mo Lian fell to the ground, clutching her neck and coughing violently. Her eyes stared at Mo Yan¡¯s back with hatred. When Mo Yan walked to the side of the pool, Mo Lian¡¯s eyes shed. Mo Lian, who looked weak, suddenly stood up and sprinted towards Mo Yan. When Mo Lian brought her here, Mo Yan had already been on guard against Mo Lian¡¯s tricks. She walked far away from the pool, but she didn¡¯t expect Mo Lian to push her into the pool with her. With a ssh, the sound of both of them falling into the water was heard together. ¡°Cough.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s entire body was in pain from the impact. After falling into the pool, she choked on a few mouthfuls of water. ¡°Someone came early!¡± Mo Yan had just surfaced when she heard this sentence. Chapter 185 - Mo Lians Design Chapter 185 - Mo Lian''s Design In the crowd, Mo Yan spotted Luo Tao at a nce. Just as she was about to go ashore, she was interrupted by the sound of watering out from behind her. Mo Yan looked behind her expressionlessly. She did not understand why Mo Lian did this? ¡°Mo Lian, are you crazy?¡± Mo Yan said to Mo Lian. Mo Lian acted as if she didn¡¯t hear anything and swam straight to the side of the pool. After all, she was the main character of the night, Mo Lian. There were already people holding bath towels waiting at the side before she even went ashore. Luo Tao also frowned as he took the bath towel from Qiao Li¡¯s hand and motioned for Mo Yan to go up. Mo Yan nced at Mo Lian as she swam towards the shore. Luo Tao extended his hand towards Mo Yan, and Mo Yan got out of the water. Suddenly, Mo Yan felt a chill in front of her, and her mind went nk. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on her surroundings. Before Mo Yan could react, a pure white towel wrapped around her tightly. Luo Tao¡¯s face was full of ice, and his dark eyes seemed to be brewing a storm. If he was not careful, he would tear her into pieces. Mo Yan was shocked by the killing intent in his eyes. She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she was picked up horizontally by Luo Tao. Huddled in front of Luo Tao¡¯s chest, only then did Mo Yan realize what had happened. Her eyes were burning with anger. The reason why Mo Lian fell into the pool with her was to unstrap the strap on her neck. The dress she was wearing was a close-fitting design. In order not to show the shape of her underwear, there were only nipple stickers inside. Was Mo Lian doing this to destroy her reputation? Sure enough, when Luo Tao carried Mo Yan and walked past Mo Lian, Mo Lian revealed a victorious smile. Mo Yan¡¯s face was pale as she clutched the towel tightly. The gazes of the people around her made her feel as if there was a ray of light at her back. ¡°Miss Mo, when you choose to scheme against others, it means that you are prepared to bear the consequences.¡± Luo Tao did not stop walking. He only said these words lightly as he walked past. There was clearly no anger in his words, but Mo Lian felt her entire body tremble. Her legs unconsciously retreated a little. The surroundings of the pool were so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. In the end, everyone watched helplessly as Luo Tao carried Mo Yan away¡­ After a long while, a slight cough broke the silence. Zhao Xin saw that everyone was looking at her. She could not help but touch her nose andughed dryly, ¡°My throat hurts.¡± ¡°Xiao Wen, the one who fell into the pool with senior Mo Lian just now was senior Mo Yan, right?¡± ¡°Senior Mo Yan? That pretty girl just now? No Way!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen her once at school. Although I didn¡¯t see her clearly just now, it seems to be her!¡± Seeing that someone was muttering, the others also started to discuss in low voices. Mo Lian had invited quite a number of schoolmates to the party today. Other than the juniors, there were even three or four ssmates who had once been in the same ss as Mo Yan. Seeing that Mo Lian was already apanied by Luo Tao to change her clothes, Zhao Xin and Qiao Li looked at each other and quietly left the party. As the two of them were living outside by themselves, they did not ask their chauffeur to pick them up. Instead, they walked out of the vi area. Zhao Xin looked at Qiao Li with her bright eyes and said, ¡°Qiao Li, you seem very close to Mo Yan!¡± ¡°Kind of.¡± Qiao Li didn¡¯t know why Zhao Xin suddenly said this. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°I feel like Mo Yan is a lot different from the rumors! Looking at the way she and her husband are loving each other, she doesn¡¯t seem to be a mistress!¡± Zhao Xin said loudly. Qiao Li agreed with her words. Although she hadn¡¯t spent much time with Mo Yan, whether it was from Xu Wan¡¯s mouth or her own eyes, she felt that there was a big gap between them and the rumors. However, looking at Zhao Xin¡¯s silly look, Qiao Li suddenly had the thought of teasing her. ¡°You can¡¯t tell a person¡¯s heart from their face. How can you be sure that she¡¯s not that kind of person after just one night of contact?¡± ¡°Feelings, feelings! You don¡¯t know, my sixth sense has always been particrly urate. I¡¯m not wrong in judging people.¡± Qiao Li was speechless by her personality. It was really fortunate that Zhao Xin didn¡¯t speak at the company. Otherwise, she would have to help others count the money after being sold! Zhao Xin blinked her big eyes and asked Qiao Li, ¡°You don¡¯t think Mo Yan is a good person?¡± Qiao Li was momentarily stunned by the question. After a moment of reaction, she said, ¡°She¡¯s not a bad person. Moreover, she loves her husband very much. She wouldn¡¯t do such a thing.¡± ¡°Yeah! These two people are reallypatible. I¡¯m quite curious about where the rumors about her husband came from? Luo Tao doesn¡¯t seem like a gangster at all!¡± Chapter 186 - Price Chapter 186 - Price After Luo Tao carried Mo Yan away, Mo Yan changed back into her dress that was stained with wine. She wore Luo Tao¡¯s suit jacket on the outside. The two of them walked on the road out of the vi area. There were very few cars going in and out at this time. Mo Yan held Luo Tao¡¯s hand. Even though Luo Tao was expressionless and did not say anything, Mo Yan knew that he was angry. She used her finger to scratch Luo Tao¡¯s palm. Mo Yan revealed a smile and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re still angry for me!¡± Hearing her question, Luo Tao stopped in his tracks. Mo Yan followed him and turned around to look at him. ¡°What price do you want her to pay?¡± The bright moon shone down on the ground. Luo Tao was opposite the moonlight, so Mo Yan could not see his expression clearly. ¡°Price? Mo Lian?¡± Mo Yan asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s deep and determined voice entered Mo Yan¡¯s ears. Mo Yan recalled Luo Tao¡¯s ¡®Glorious deeds¡¯ before the two of them got married. For a moment, she did not know what to say, while Luo Tao was still waiting for her answer. ¡°I can¡¯t think of anything.¡± Mo Yan lowered her eyes slightly and said. She did not want Luo Tao to see through her thoughts. In fact, she had thought of it the moment Luo Tao asked. She wanted the Mo family to disappear. If the Mo family disappeared, regardless of whether it was the humiliation the Mo family brought to her or the ability to show off to Mo Lian, it would disappearpletely. The moment this thought appeared in her mind, even she herself was shocked. She did not know why she had such a dark thought. ¡°Can¡¯t think of anything?¡± Luo Tao asked softly. ¡°Yes, I can¡¯t think of anything, so don¡¯t do anything illegal!¡± Mo Yan hugged Luo Tao¡¯s arm, she continued, ¡°What Mo Lian did was just for a moment of pleasure. If I find an opportunity in the future, I will scold her or beat her up to vent my anger. Don¡¯t always talk about the price. You¡¯re making my hair stand on end. I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll do something else.¡± Luo Tao reached out and rubbed her hair. He chuckled and said, ¡°I won¡¯t do anything that makes you worry. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Standing beside Luo Tao and getting close to him, Mo Yan finally saw the warm and gentle smile on his face. It was like the warm spring after the ice and snow melted, carrying with it the power to make people feel at ease. The night breeze blew, apanied by the chirping of cicadas, enjoying a moment of peace that only belonged to the two of them. There was still some distance between the vi area and the ce where they could take a taxi. Mo Yan suddenly saw the wine stains on her clothes and said jokingly, ¡°Luo Tao, do you think that Miss Wang deliberately spilled the wine on me to chat with you?¡± ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Luo Tao pinched Mo Yan¡¯s soft little hand and asked. Mo Yan rolled her eyes, she told Luo Tao in detail, ¡°Think about it! We¡¯ve been standing there and we haven¡¯t been anywhere else. It was her who took the initiative toe over. I originally wanted to leave, but she stopped me. She has feelings for you. She really has ulterior motives.¡± The more Mo Yan talked, the more she felt that this Miss Wang was not a good person. She had to think about her husband. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s angry appearance, Luo Tao smiled and said, ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t care.¡± ¡°How could I not care! Oh right, what does she mean by supporting you? Is she very rich?¡± ¡°Yes, I heard that she is the only daughter of the richest man in C City.¡± Luo Tao nodded his head as if he was serious. She said that she fell in love with me at first sight. After I divorce, she will marry me. I won¡¯t need to work and rely on her to support me.¡± The more Mo Yan heard this, the more she felt that something was wrong. She wrinkled her small nose and pinched Luo Tao¡¯s waist. ¡°Oh? Why? Are you moved?¡± Luo Tao continued to tease Mo Yan, ¡°I¡¯m a little moved. How about this, I¡¯ll y along with her and then take the money back to support you?¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t pinch Luo Tao¡¯s waist just now. This time, Mo Yan pulled out the hand that was holding Luo Tao¡¯s arm and pinched Luo Tao¡¯s cheek with both hands. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°You¡¯re dreaming! One of the left and one on the right? Taking money from one and giving money to the other?¡± Luo Tao looked silly with her pinching his cheek, and his words were a little unclear. ¡°Stop pinching. I only want you.¡± Seeing Luo Tao say this, Mo Yan was willing to let him go. Looking into Luo Tao¡¯s deep and beautiful ck eyes, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t bear to move her eyes away. ¡°When you saw me talking to that person, how did you feel?¡± Luo Tao asked. Mo Yan looked at him and said, ¡°I was jealous.¡± With such a straightforward question, if Mo Yan did not understand what he wanted to hear from her, then they would have lived together for so long in vain. However, Mo Yan was willing to go along with him and say what she really thought. ¡°Seeing her look at you like that, I wish I could punch her with one eye.¡± Chapter 187 - Impossible to Cooperate Chapter 187 - Impossible to Cooperate Luo Tao smiled and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to think this way. Since you¡¯re jealous, why did you still act so calm at that time?¡± Although Luo Tao was smiling, Mo Yan could see the probing look in his eyes. ¡°Because I like you and trust you more. You¡¯re so outstanding. If I doubt every person who shows love to you, then I¡¯ll probably stick to you every day.¡± Luo Tao pulled Mo Yan into his embrace and said softly, ¡°I hope you can stick to me forever.¡± People often said that a woman who fell in love would lose her mind. How did Mo Yan feel about him? The Mo family¡¯s birthday party did not end until 11 p.m. Mo Lian returned to her room and immediately made a call. ¡°Did you get it?¡± ¡­ ¡°Yes, is it clear?¡± ¡­ ¡°Alright, send the photo to my phone. I¡¯ll call you with the money.¡± Mo Lian revealed a sinister smile as she looked at her phone. Mo Yan had ruined her ns time and time again. She had to give Mo Lian a taste of her own medicine. Thinking of Mo Yan, Mo Lian thought of the gifts Mo Yan had given her. She hurriedly dug out that unremarkable box from the pile of gifts.. ¡­ Mo Yan was a little low-spirited when she went to work on Monday. Last night, she kept dreaming about the days she used to live with her mother, Cheng, and Mo Dong. Thest thing that woke her up was the day she was kicked out of the house. Mo Yan rubbed her temples and printed out a document. At this moment, someone came to look for Mo Yan. They said that Chen Ya had asked her to go to the office. Since Chen Jin and Zhou Shuai¡¯s orders to transfer, Chen Ya¡¯s situation in thepany began to be awkward. The reason why Chen Ya had not been moved was because Chen Ya still had two cases in the middle andte stages. If someone were to rece her, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the customers. In order not to affect the business, Chen Ya¡¯s position had not changed for the time being. ¡°Supervisor Chen.¡± Mo Yan came to Chen Ya¡¯s office and unexpectedly saw an acquaintance. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°Miss Mo, we meet again.¡± The person who spoke was the middle-aged man Qian Yuan, whom she had metst night. Before Chen Ya said anything, Qian Yuan directly greeted her, which surprised Mo Yan. ¡°Hello, manager Qian,¡± Mo Yan replied with a smile. Mo Yan was expressionless after that. ¡°So the two of you already know each other.¡± Chen Yaughed dryly and red at Mo Yan from a position that Qian Yuan couldn¡¯t see. When Qian Yuan heard Chen Ya speak, he turned to Chen Ya and said, ¡°I feel that I have a lot of affinity with Miss Mo. I wonder if you can also participate in the coboration project between Hongye and yourpany.¡± ¡°Well, Mo Yan has just joined thepany and is still unclear about many things. I think it¡¯s better to proceed ording to the n that we discussed previously. What do you think!¡± Chen Ya¡¯s smile was a little stiff. In order to keep her position as the supervisor, her two projects were being dyed. However, if she could win the Hongye project, she could continue to be the supervisor. When her uncle came back, she would still be a core employee of thepany. ¡°Supervisor Chen, I have already investigated before I made this suggestion.¡± Qian Yuan said meaningfully, waiting for Chen Ya to make a decision. However, before Chen Ya could refuse, Mo Yan said with a smile, ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, manager Qian, but I have a lot of projects on my hands recently, so I might have to disappoint you.¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so! You are really outstanding.¡± ¡°Thank you for your praise, manager Qian.¡± Seeing the two of them walking back and forth,pletely ignoring her attitude, Chen Ya felt her anger burning. The mes in her eyes seemed to be about to burst out, burning Mo Yan¡¯s soul into ashes. ¡°Supervisor Chen.¡± Qian Yuan turned around and happened to see the emotions in Chen Ya¡¯s eyes that could not be hidden. A trace of ridicule shed in his eyes. How could a person who could not even manage his emotions well be a supervisor? Compared to Chen Ya, Qian Yuan¡¯s attitude towards Mo Yan was more cautious. Whether it was Jiang Ming¡¯s probing yesterday or the benefits he was offering today, Mo Yan could handle it calmly, including the smile on her face. ¡°Since Miss Mo is very busy recently, I¡¯ll discuss this project with you alone, supervisor Chen!¡± ¡°Ah! Okay! Mo Yan, you can leave now!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan answered casually and closed the door and left. Although she was a fool not to earn money, Mo Yan really didn¡¯t want to get involved in this project. Not to mention that Jiang Ming¡¯s wordsst night made her feel strange, just the fact that she wanted to work with Chen Ya alone made her want to retreat. If she really wanted to work together with Chen Ya, Mo Yan was afraid that she would be gnawed into pieces by her. Chapter 188 - Warning Chapter 188 - Warning At noon, when Mo Yan, Xu Wan, and the others were having lunch, Zhao Xin mentioned whether Chen Ya would leave her job. Xu Wan and Zhao Xin were both talkative types. The two of them chatted for a while, while Qiao Li asionally chimed in. As for sister Xu, she was cold and aloof. ¡°Eh? Mo Yan, Guoguo didn¡¯te today!¡± Xu Wan asked. Mo Yan swallowed the food in her mouth and said, ¡°She said she had something to do at noon, so she won¡¯t be eating with us for the next few days.¡± ¡°Oh, I see! By the way, Mo Yan, do you think Chen Ya will leave?¡± Thinking about Qian Yuan who hade to discuss with Chen Ya, Mo Yan said, ¡°She won¡¯t leave, right? I think Hongye came to sign a contract with her a few days ago.¡± ¡°Hongye?¡± Zhao Xin answered and then nced at Qiao Li. Qiao Li didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, Xu Wan continued to ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, ¡°I thought that person was looking for Mo Yan to sign the contract. I didn¡¯t expect it to be Chen Ya.¡± ¡°He did ask me, but I didn¡¯t agree.¡± Mo Yan chuckled. ¡°Why?¡± This time, it was sister Xu who spoke. Xu Wan and Zhao Xin also looked at Mo Yan curiously. ¡°If I ept, I will have to work with Chen Ya. She has evil intentions. I¡¯m afraid that she will y tricks again.¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Xu Wan and Zhao Xin nodded in agreement. They were both in the administrative department. Although there were some misceneous matters in the department, they were not as fierce as the sales department. ¡°In the future, if you encounter any projects that require you to work with people who have ulterior motives, will you want to push them away?¡± Xu Tian asked faintly. Mo Yan frowned and looked at her in confusion. Working with such people was naturally something that she could avoid. ¡°The fastest way for people to grow is to face a difficult situation directly. Of course, it¡¯s good to be able to avoid it, but if you can¡¯t avoid the situation, are you going to let people plot against you? Just likest time?¡± Sister Xu¡¯s words reminded Mo Yan of everything that had happened in Jing City. Although there were many reasons for not signing the contract and there were no rumors that they were ipetent, it was true that they had been schemed against. If it wasn¡¯t for sister Xu¡¯s help to turn the tide, they wouldn¡¯t even have the qualifications to go to Lin Group¡¯s meeting. ¡°Okay, I got it. In the future, I¡¯ll try to work with others on some projects.¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Mo Yan humbly epted the advice, while Xu Wan and Zhao Xin were dumbstruck. ¡°S-sister Xu, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Xu Wan stuttered, and Zhao Xin nodded. ¡°Of course, sister Xu is amazing! You forgot what I told you before about us being schemed against by Chen Ya and the others in Jing City. If sister Xu hadn¡¯t observed carefully, we wouldn¡¯t have found any mistakes. Also, after organizing the information, sister Xu¡¯s work alone is almost as good as the two of us.¡± With Xu Wan and the others around, the originally serious matters became less serious. Seeing the two of them exim in surprise, Mo Yan brought up Xu Tian¡¯s glorious deeds again. The two of them were very cooperative as they praised Xu Tian. Even an ice-cold beauty like Xu Tian felt her ears turn hot from the praise from the three of them. She said in a cold tone, ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± It was unknown when it started, but the few of them had a new understanding of this legendary ¡®Miss Xu¡¯. She didn¡¯t like to talk and looked cold, but she was a good person. No matter who was in trouble, as long as it was someone she considered a friend, they would be willing to help. Seeing that the few of them were chatting happily, Qiao Li hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Mo Yan, you should be careful with that person from Hongye. Try not to associate with them.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. She did feel that Jiang Ming and Qian Yuan¡¯s attitudes were not right, but why did Qiao Li suddenly tell her this? ¡°I¡¯m not too sure about the specifics. I just asked my parents, and they said so.¡± In fact, Qiao Li originally wanted to tell Xu Wan about this matter, and then Xu Wan would tell Mo Yan. But after thinking about it, if she suddenly told Xu Wan about this matter, she would have to tell her everything about the dinner party. It would be a little troublesome, so after thinking about it, Qiao Li decided to directly give Mo Yan some advice. Hearing what she said, Mo Yan nodded her head. Although she didn¡¯t know Qiao Li¡¯s family background, since she had told her, it was good that she listened. ¡°Okay, I got it. Thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± After saying that, Qiao Li continued to eat, but Xu Wan was unwilling. She pestered Qiao Li and asked what they were talking about. Mo Yan originally thought that if she rejected Qian Yuan that day, she and Hongye would no longer have any contact. Who knew that a few dayster, Jiang Ming actually called her personally and said that he wanted to meet with her. Mo Yan, who thought of Qiao Li¡¯s advice, rejected Jiang Ming¡¯s invitation on the grounds that she was busy with work. Chapter 189 - Watch the Battle from the Sidelines Chapter 189 - Watch the Battle from the Sidelines ¡°Huo Zhen, what are you daydreaming about?¡± Qin Yuan waved his hand in front of Huo Zhen. ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Tao looked up at Qin Yuan. ¡°How many times have you daydreamed since you got on the ne? What are you thinking about?¡± Luo Tao had returned to Jing City because he heard that Huo Li had agreed to sign the project contract. Also, one of Huo Zhen¡¯s branches had been taken back by old master Huo. Old master Huo had recently threatened them to go back. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Luo Tao supported his chin with one hand and tapped the armrest of the sofa with the other. He continued, ¡°Even if Huo Zheng¡¯s power has been weakened, Huo Li is still far behind him.¡± ¡°Are you going to sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight? You¡¯re brothers after all. Wouldn¡¯t it be better if you worked together for a win-win situation?¡± Qin Yuan made himself a pot of tea and poured a cup for Luo Tao. ¡°Ha, work together?¡± Luo Tao chuckled. ¡°Huo Li has been suppressed by Huo Zheng over the years. Otherwise, why would he keep trying to fight for a new project?¡± ¡°When those little fish and shrimp with evil intentions finish standing in line, we can close the.¡± Qin Yuan clicked his tongue. Thinking of the recent turmoil in Jing City, he could not help but feel a myriad of emotions. Ever since Huo frame returned to Jing city, countless pairs of eyes had been staring at him in the open and in the dark. However, Huo Zhen had run away just like that. Not only did he set up a substitute in Bordeaux, but he also ran back to C City. What made Qin Yuan feel even more devastated was that this incident in Jing City was also caused by a foreign power. Who was the foreign power? Those who knew the Huo family, the first person they thought of was Huo Zhen¡¯s fourth uncle and fifth uncle. Huo Zhen was very ruthless. He gave people room to guess, but he did not give them any concrete evidence that Huo Zhen¡¯s fourth uncle and fifth uncle had done it. Even if they wanted to exin, there was nothing they could do. What could they exin? They were not used. Everything was just vague clues and guesses. Of course, Huo Zhen was also suspected. However, ording to the news from Bordeaux, Huo Zhen was followed almost every day, and he did not meet anyone in private. Someone went to investigate Huo Zhen¡¯s movements, but there was no sign of anything suspicious. After all the investigations, the only result that came out was that Huo Zhen had really lost his fighting spirit. ¡°Huo Zhen, are you going to confess or continue to hide things from old master Huo?¡± Luo Tao thought for a moment and said, ¡°Hide! Let him think that I havepletely lost my fighting spirit.¡± Qin Yuan clicked his tongue. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that he will take back your inheritance right away when he sees you like this?¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°The old master dotes on me. He won¡¯t take back my power for a while.¡± Luo Tao chuckled. ¡°Fine! Do as you see fit.¡± Qin Yuan said disdainfully, then thought of the message from Du Jing. ¡°Huo Zhen, I heard from Du Jing that the old master seems to be going to spare your third uncle.¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Why? Did he cry and admit his mistake again?¡± ¡°You guessed it correctly!¡± Qin Yuan pped his thigh and said. ¡°Yeah, he should have knelt at the ancestral hall and confessed to his ancestors.¡± ¡°Huo Zhen, that¡¯s amazing! Why? Did your men pay attention to this and report it to you?¡± Luo Tao smiled mockingly and said, ¡°I¡¯m used to it. People in their 40s and 50s don¡¯t seem to know anything else.¡± ¡°If your n seeds, what are you going to do with your uncles? Let their experience a car ident too?¡± Luo Tao picked up the teacup that Qin Yuan ced in front of him and lowered his eyes to taste it. ¡°Your tea brewing skills have improved. Continue to work hard.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Tao changed the topic too quickly, causing Qin Yuan to be unable to react in time. Looking at the scenery outside the ne, Luo Tao was lost in thought again. He had been in a daze for many times today, but he just felt that Mo Yan seemed to have discovered something. Previously, he had casually mentioned a part-time job as a trantor because he couldn¡¯t think of any upation. Now that he said that he had been invited by a friend to go out for a few days, Mo Yan didn¡¯t ask much. She only told him to be careful on the road and let him leave after giving him some instructions. ¡°Huo Zhen? What are you thinking about now?¡± Qin Yuan sighed helplessly. ¡°When do you think I should tell Mo Yan about my identity?¡± Luo Tao changed the topic too quickly. Qin Yuan thought for a moment before he frowned and said, ¡°Not now.¡± ¡°Huh? Why?¡± Luo Tao asked. Qin Yuan sighed and put his hand on his forehead. ¡°Young master, your n has just started and you already want to stir up some trouble. Aren¡¯t you afraid that the old master will flip out?¡± Chapter 190 - Something that Could Not Be Avoided Chapter 190 - Something that Could Not Be Avoided After hearing Qin Yuan¡¯s words, Luo Tao sighed and said no more. This time, Luo Tao came back on the Qin family¡¯s private ne. As soon as he got off the ne, Luo Tao secretly went to the airport to exchange with the substitute. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. This substitute had been groomed for many years. His every move was extremely simr to Luo Tao. This was how he was able to fool those old foxes. When Luo Tao rushed back to the Huo family, his uncles were already in the hall. Seeing that it was alreadyte, the old master told them to rest first and make the final decision tomorrow. It was not until he returned to his bedroom that Luo Tao finally had the time to send a text to Mo Yan. [Mo Yan, I¡¯ve arrived.] When Luo Tao sent the text, Mo Yan was just about to wash up. Seeing that it was Luo Tao, Mo Yan picked up her phone to reply first. [I was worried that you had not arrived! Now I¡¯m relieved.] Just as Luo Tao was about to say something else, there was a knock on the door. It was old master Huo. ¡°Grandfather.¡± Luo Tao called out to old master Huo. Old master Huo nodded and Luo Tao brought him to the sofa and sat him down. ¡°Zhen! How was Bordeaux recently?¡± Old master Huo asked kindly. Luo Tao smiled and said, ¡°It was very good. I picked some grapes in the manor and learned how to brew some wine. I¡¯ll give it to you to taste when I have time.¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re having fun. Since you¡¯re having fun, Zhen, you should keep your heart. I¡¯m getting old, so you still have to take over everything in the Huo family,¡± Old master Huo said earnestly. Luo Tao wiped away his smile. ¡°Grandfather, I don¡¯t want to take over the Huo family.¡± Hearing Luo Tao say this, old master Huo frowned. The deep furrow between his eyebrows showed that this person was once a serious and old-fashioned person. ¡°Why?¡± Old master Huo asked. ¡°Grandfather, I just want to be an idle person now. I don¡¯t want to meddle in the Huo family¡¯s affairs anymore.¡± Luo Tao lowered his long eyshes to hide the dark light in his eyes. What kind of person was old master Huo? He had been through a lot in his life. The moment they met each other¡¯s eyes, the old man would be able to see clearly what Luo Tao was thinking. Old master Huo used his walking stick to hit the ground hard twice, he said bitterly, ¡°As a member of the Huo family, how can you retreat just because of such a small matter! I¡¯ve experienced countless assassinations in my life. There are countless schemes in the open and in the dark, but I still managed to survive!¡± Luo Tao was unmoved. He could not let old master Huo see through him now, so he continued, ¡°Grandfather, I don¡¯t want to experience the feeling of being on the brink of death again.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was very low, as if his entire being was shrouded in a haze. This made the old man, who had doted on Huo Zhen since he was young, suddenly soften his heart. ¡°Forget it! I know that this incident was a huge blow to you. I won¡¯t force you. Think about it yourself!¡± With that, old master Huo stood up and walked towards the door. Luo Tao also stood up to send him off. When he was about to reach the door, old master Huo suddenly stopped and said with his back facing Luo Tao, ¡°I also hope that you can be safe and sound, but there are some things that even a person in power cannot escape from.¡± Old master Huo¡¯s sigh entered Luo Tao¡¯s ears, causing Luo Tao¡¯s heart to feel as if it was being grabbed. Hearing Luo Tao¡¯s ¡°Hmm¡±, old master Huo did not stay any longer. He said to Luo Tao to have a good rest before leaving Luo Tao¡¯s room. Sitting on the spacious sofa, Luo Tao was not used to it. The sofa and coffee table in his and Mo Yan¡¯s small rented room were not big. All the furniture was ced in the space that was only a few dozen square meters, and because it was not big, it seemed that there was the presence of the two of them in every corner. Luo Tao asked someone to get a bottle of red wine and turned off the lights, leaving only therge patch of moonlight that shone through the floor-to-ceiling window. Holding a ss of wine, Luo Tao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Luo Tao originally wanted to drink a few more sses before going to bed, but out of the corner of her eye, she nced at the grass below and saw a person standing there. That person¡¯s gaze met Luo Tao¡¯s, and he raised his arm to greet him. This person was Luo Tao¡¯s fifth uncle, who had always lived abroad. Luo Tao nodded and turned around to return to the sofa. This time, he closed the curtains, and only wisps of moonlight seeped through the gaps. Luo Tao turned on his phone, and the screen was still on the page where he and Mo Yan were chatting. Mo Yan sent a few more messages: [Why aren¡¯t you talking? Are you asleep?] After a while, it seemed like Luo Tao didn¡¯t reply and sent another: [Are you asleep or out?] [Pay attention to your safety when you go out! And don¡¯t flirt outside! If I find out, see how I¡¯ll deal with you when youe back! ] [Are you home yet? Sleeping? Then good night!] After good night, there was a small snoring emoji attached. Luo Tao looked at the messages sent by Mo Yan, and his heart gradually filled with warmth. Chapter 191 - Gossip Chapter 191 - Gossip Ever since Luo Tao left, Mo Yan had been a little listless. Xu Wanughed at her for not being able to be apart from Luo Tao for even a day. Just as Mo Yan was about to distract herself with her work, another rumor quietly rose in thepany. In the sales department¡¯s pantry, a few people were chatting. The pantry was said to be a good ce to gossip. As expected, just here, Mo Yan had heard gossip about herself twice. ¡°Have you heard? Chen Ya signed the project this time because Mo Yan didn¡¯t want it,¡± a woman said. Ever since Chen Jin¡¯s fall, the direction of thepany¡¯s gossips had started to slowly change since Chen Ya might be fired. In the past, regardless of their position, everyone would call Chen Ya supervisor Chen because she had Chen Jin as her backer. There were a lot of people who sucked up to her. They had no choice but to show her respect so that there would not be rumors about them not respecting their leaders. Without a backer, even if Chen Ya was still a supervisor, not many people would be willing to call her that. Many people wanted Chen Ya gone, and the things that Chen Ya had done were slowly spreading. As soon as the woman finished speaking, another female voice sounded, ¡°Yes, yes, I heard that Hongye wanted to work with Mo Yan, but Mo Yan rejected them. She¡¯s really amazing! She didn¡¯t even want a contract that was brought right to her. I really want to be friends with her!¡± ¡°Hahaha, you? She doesn¡¯t even like you!¡± ¡°By the way, has the boss of Hongye taken a liking to Mo Yan?¡± The second woman asked this question a little mockingly. Just as Mo Yan thought that she was going to be rumored to be having a romantic affair again, the first woman spoke, ¡°Don¡¯t spout nonsense if you don¡¯t have any evidence. We¡¯ve all seen how hard she works.¡± After saying this, the woman sighed. Mo Yan raised her eyebrows. There was actually someone who spoke up for her. This was really a turn of events! Where did her bad reputation go? Thinking of the few voice recordings stored on herputer, Mo Yan decided to ignore them for the time being. ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s true. It¡¯s been so long and I still haven¡¯t seen anything really happen between Mo Yan and any leader. She even took the initiative to reject Hongye¡¯s project. It doesn¡¯t seem like she¡¯s short on money.¡± Hearing this, Mo Yan quickly denied in her heart, ¡®No, I¡¯m short on money. I¡¯m very short on money. I only rejected it purely because I felt that Jiang Ming had bad intentions.¡¯ ¡°I seem to have only seen Mo Yan interact with CEO Song a few times. CEO Song is famous for being strict, so she probably won¡¯t treat an influential person differently, right?¡± ¡°Yes, the only leader that Mo Yan is close to is CEO Song.¡± Mo Yan listened to the people in the pantry attentively. Today was such a good day. There were actually so many people speaking up for her. ¡°So where did all the gossip about Mo Yane from?¡± At the mention of this, the few people in the pantry looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they did not know. ¡°I found out about the rumors from group chats. Do you think it was Chen Ya who spread the rumors? I remember that there was a video where Mo Yan said that Chen Ya was targeting her because of Zhou Shuai.¡± ¡°Is the video you¡¯re talking about the one from that morning?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, there should be a lot of people who saw it! I didn¡¯t expect the usually quiet Mo Yan to have that kind of eloquence!¡± ¡°Zhou Shuai? I remember now. Recently, there seems to be a rumor about Zhou Shuai in thepany! Apparently, when he brings rookies to meet clients, he gives them certain requests. If they don¡¯t agree, their career would basically be over.¡± ¡°What kind of requests?¡± Someone asked back. Then, there was no sound in the pantry. After a moment, the gossiping continued. ¡°So this is how Zhou Shuai signs contracts? No wonder his signing rate is so high.¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°God! I didn¡¯t know that Zhou Shuai is actually this kind of person! He looks quite handsome, how could he do such a thing? I used to like him. I must have been blind.¡± ¡°Hahaha, you should be d that he didn¡¯t target you! Otherwise, who knows where you would be now.¡± After that, they didn¡¯t talk about Mo Yan anymore. Mo Yan felt that she had heard enough. She turned around and happened to see Chen Ya, who was standing in the aisle with a gloomy expression¡­ Chapter 192 - Evil Reaps Retribution Chapter 192 - Evil Reaps Retribution Seeing Chen Ya ring at her fiercely, Mo Yan frowned. Chen Ya had already reached the point where no one cared to show her any respect anymore. Mo Yan felt that there was no need for her to add fuel to the fire and trigger Chen Ya to act out. When Mo Yan and Chen Ya brushed past each other, Chen Ya said, ¡°Were you the one who told other people that you didn¡¯t want Hongye¡¯s project, so you gave it to me?¡± Mo Yan stopped in her tracks and said coldly without turning her head, ¡°I¡¯m not like you. I don¡¯t gossip.¡± ¡°Hmph! Who else knows about this besides you! Mo Yan, you¡¯ll get your retribution for harming me like this.¡± Chen Ya¡¯s voice sounded sinister, but Mo Yan only found it funny. She harmed her? Ever since she entered thepany, she had never thought of going against Chen Ya. A neer going against a leader? She was not stupid. This was probably Chen Ya¡¯s retribution for bullying Mo Yan. It was all because of all the bad things she had done to Mo Yan. ¡°Ever since I entered thepany, I haven¡¯t done anything harmful. This is your retribution for always harming me?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s tone was calm as she said this. ¡°Me? I never did anything! Mo Yan, it was all you. Ever since you came, I haven¡¯t had a day of peace and contentment. If you hadn¡¯t appeared, then Zhou Shuai wouldn¡¯t have quarreled with me and he wouldn¡¯t have paid so much attention to you! Thepany¡¯s best contracts are still mine. No one can compete with me even if I go to Jing City. I will win Lin Group¡¯s project, then expand ourpany¡¯s market to Jing City and be Hong Jing¡¯s person-in-charge in Jing City. It¡¯s all your fault! It¡¯s all your fault!¡± Chen Ya originally only growled. As she gradually lost control of her emotions, her voice became louder and louder, causing the few people in the pantry to run out to see what was going on. Only then did Mo Yan slowly turn around and give Chen Ya a contemptuous smile. ¡°Chen Ya, stop making excuses for your ipetence. You¡¯re the only one who still treats people like Zhou Shuai as a treasure. I¡¯ve never paid attention to him. Also, as for thepany¡¯s best contracts that you¡¯ve mentioned, heh! You only got them because of your uncle. You deserve none of them. I¡¯m warning you, don¡¯t bring up Jing City anymore. You know what you¡¯ve done.¡± The trip to Jing City was a disgrace to Mo Yan. She was like a clown jumping up and down. After doing so much, she still couldn¡¯t let the people who wanted to hurt her get what they deserved. They even wanted to treat her like their charity. This was something that Mo Yan couldn¡¯t ept. Chen Ya was frightened by Mo Yan¡¯s indifferent gaze. She stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a long time. Meanwhile, Mo Yan had been with Luo Tao for a long time. Naturally, she was influenced by Luo Tao¡¯s imposing manner. When Mo Yan returned to the office, Li Guoguo blinked her eyes and came over. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, I realized that you¡¯re bing more and more like a queen. You¡¯re practically my idol.¡± Mo Yan smiled and did not say much. Seeing this, Li Guoguo continued, ¡°There are rumors in the company that when Chen Ya leaves, you will be the new supervisor.¡± ¡°Where did you hear the news from?¡± Mo Yan asked. ¡°They are all talking about it in private! I also feel that you are very capable andpletely qualified for the position of supervisor.¡± Li Guoguo nodded as she spoke, as if she held Mo Yan in high esteem. However, what Mo Yan was thinking was that CEO Song always had other ns. Didn¡¯t she originally say that she would only promote her to her assistant after she won Lin Group¡¯s project? However, Li Guoguo¡¯s words made Mo Yan understand why so many people were speaking well of her now. It seemed that they all thought that she might take over the position of supervisor after Chen Ya left, so they wanted to build a good rtionship with her in advance. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, didn¡¯t CEO Song mention it to you?¡± Li Guoguo continued to ask after she finished speaking. Mo Yan shook her head and smiled, ¡°They are thinking too much. CEO Song has never mentioned this.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Oh! I see!¡± The disappointment in Li Guoguo¡¯s words overflowed. ¡°Have you finished the work that I previously assigned to you? We will need the documents when we meet the client today.¡± Mo Yan put away the printed documents and asked Li Guoguo. ¡°Ah! I forgot to finish it. Sister Mo Yan, wait for me.¡± After saying that, Li Guoguo rushed back to her desk and started to work. Hearing Li Guoguo¡¯s words, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly. She had given Li Guoguo a task a few days ago, but why hadn¡¯t Li Guoguo finished it yet? After that, Li Guoguo worked for the whole afternoon before they went to meet the client in the afternoon. Chapter 193 - Li Guoguos Boyfriend Chapter 193 - Li Guoguo''s Boyfriend It was already past seven o¡¯clock in the evening when Mo Yan and Li Guoguo finished meeting the client. When Li Guoguo strongly expressed that she wanted to apologize to her, Mo Yan had no choice but to eat barbecue with her. It was because Li Guoguo forgot to bring the documents. This client was usually very busy. This afternoon, he deliberately made time to listen to them introduce the proposal to him. They were supposed to sign the contract today. However, because of Li Guoguo¡¯s mistake, they had to meet another day. The earlier the contract was signed, the better. It was the safest to get everything down on paper. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, I¡¯m really sorry. I can¡¯t believe I actually forgot such an important document,¡± Li Guoguo said with a face full of guilt. Since the incident had already happened, there was no point for Mo Yan to be angry anymore. She smiled and say, ¡°You¡¯ve already apologized to me many times. Just pay attention next time and don¡¯t forget anything else.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Li Guoguo nodded. At this time, the waiter brought the dishes that the two of them had ordered over. Li Guoguo stood up and helped the waiter ce the dishes on the inside of the table. Following Li Guoguo¡¯s actions, a ne with a pink diamond iid on it slipped down from her cor. ¡°Did you win the lottery recently?¡± Mo Yan asked with a smile. ¡°Ah?¡± Li Guoguo was surprised at first. Then, she caught a glimpse of the falling ne and her face turned slightly red. She scolded, ¡°No! Sister Mo Yan, what are you talking about?¡± Mo Yan was startled by her words and expression. She was only joking. Her gaze lingered on the ne for a moment. Mo Yan suddenly understood what Li Guoguo meant. She asked, ¡°You have a boyfriend? Since when?¡± Li Guoguo blushed even more when she was asked, ¡°Just a few days ago, he kept chasing me¡­¡± ¡°This is a gift from him. I heard that it¡¯s quite expensive. Sister Mo Yan, I don¡¯t know much about these things. Please help me take a look,¡± Li Guoguo said as she took off the ne and handed it to Mo Yan. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Mo Yan took it and looked at it carefully. To be honest, she didn¡¯t know much about diamonds and only knew a little about the price. Judging from the size of the diamond iid on the pendant, it was about one carat. An ordinary carat diamond was worth tens of thousands of yuan, while a pink diamond was much more expensive. An ordinary colored diamond was about a hundred thousand yuan. As for a top-grade colored diamond, the price would even reach millions of yuan. Although this pink diamond ne of Li Guoguo¡¯s was lighter in color, it should have cost a lot of money. ¡°It¡¯s very beautiful. It looks very expensive.¡± Mo Yan smiled and returned the ne to Li Guoguo. ¡°I also feel that it¡¯s very beautiful, but sister Mo Yan, you said that diamonds are not valuable. When he bought it for me, I didn¡¯t know. If I knew, I definitely wouldn¡¯t let him buy it.¡± Although Li Guoguo said that she wouldn¡¯t let him buy it, her eyes revealed a happy expression. ¡°Ordinary diamonds are nothing, but colored diamonds are still valuable. and the most important thing is his heart. The price doesn¡¯t matter, right?¡± ¡°Yes, you are right. Ah! Right, why don¡¯t I ask him toe over? You can meet him and help me check on him.¡± After saying that, Li Guoguo made a gesture of putting her hands together to beg Mo Yan. Mo Yan initially wanted to refuse. She was not used to meeting associates of her colleagues, so Li Guoguo had no choice but topromise. Seeing that Mo Yan agreed, Li Guoguo could not wait to call her boyfriend. The call was picked up after a while. In order not to eavesdrop on her call, Mo Yan shifted her attention to the barbecue in front of her. In the afternoon, the two of them did not eat to finish their work. Mo Yan was extremely hungry. Mo Yan ced a thin piece of roasted meat on the roasting tray. Instantly, the fragrance of the meat spread. Mo Yan was so excited that saliva dripped down from the corner of her mouth. Mo Yan roasted a few more pieces and gave them to Li Guoguo and herself respectively. She only waited for Li Guoguo to hang up the phone before eating. Other than the roasted meat, Mo Yan also ced the rare sweet potato slices and chicken wings in a circle, waiting for them to roast slowly. After Li Guoguo hung up the phone, she frowned. She forced a smile at Mo Yan, ¡°He¡¯s a little busy, so he won¡¯t be able toe today.¡± ¡°Mm, that¡¯s good too. We¡¯ll meet each other when we have the chance,¡± Mo Yan said as she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She was already extremely hungry. If another unfamiliar person came, she would not be able to eat as freely as she wanted. It wasn¡¯t that she cared about the opinions of the opposite sex, but as Li Guoguo¡¯s colleague, she couldn¡¯t embarrass Li Guoguo in front of Li Guoguo¡¯s boyfriend, could she? Chapter 194 - Lost His Management Rights Chapter 194 - Lost His Management Rights After the meal, Mo Yan roughly understood the real purpose of Li Guoguo¡¯s treat. She probably didn¡¯t want to apologize, but wanted to show off her boyfriend to her. One moment, she was talking about how long the man had been chasing her, the next moment, she talked about how he wanted to spoil her and take her on a trip and so on. Lastly, she also wanted to ask Luo Tao if he had said where he wanted to take Mo Yan, and if he had any rmendations. Li Guoguo started again. ¡°Wu Hao said that he would take me to Sanya for a few days during the holidays. Sister Mo Yan, why don¡¯t youe with your husband? Let¡¯s go together!¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Mo Yan shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not going. Going to Sanya is very expensive. Luo Tao and I don¡¯t have enough money.¡± ¡°Ah! I see! Then when I go, I¡¯ll bring back some souvenirs for you guys!¡± Li Guoguo smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. Mo Yan did not know why she was so happy. Shaking her head, Mo Yan said helplessly, ¡°It¡¯s still quite a long time before the holiday. Why are you thinking about this so early?¡± ¡°You have to think about happy things to be motivated!¡± Li Guoguo said angrily. ¡°And if you really want to wait for the holiday and travel, you have to n ahead. It¡¯s not wrong to think about it early.¡± ¡°Okay, okay, okay. You¡¯re right. Just don¡¯t think about forgetting the documents again,¡± Mo Yan said with a smile. Li Guoguo pouted. ¡°I won¡¯t! Sister Mo Yan, it won¡¯t happen again!¡± After dinner, the two of them took a taxi home. Mo Yan turned on the lights. She was the only one in the empty room, which made her feel a little ufortable. ¡­ Old master Huo held a family meeting the day after he talked to Luo Tao. It was to talk about his decision to get back the leadership of the two branches under Huo Zhen, and his management rights over the Huo Corporation. When he said this, all three of Huo Zhen¡¯s uncles were shocked. Only his fifth uncle looked calm and even raised his head to smile at Huo Zhen. Everyone knew that Huo Zhen¡¯s fifth uncle, Huo Heng, was a person who did not take care of things. However, because he and his fourth uncle, Huo Cheng, were twins, they were always together. The old man¡¯s decision made the three uncles confused about Huo Zhen¡¯s motives. Since they were one of the most prominent families in Jing City, any change in the Huo family would be a huge deal in Jing city, not to mention such a big change. Some of the scattered forces in thepany had hoped to rely on Huo Zhen to turn things around. On the third floor of the Zhen Residence, four young people were either sitting or lying on the sofa and chairs. Each of them looked weak and half dead. ¡°Microphone Qin, when will brother Huo arrive?¡± A young man with blue hair cried out. As soon as the young man finished speaking, a cushion flew towards him. ¡°Shut up, you¡¯re the microphone.¡± ¡°You¡¯re always helping brother Huo ry to us messages. If you¡¯re not a microphone, what are you?¡± ¡°Mr. Blue Hair, shut up.¡± Qin Yuan wanted to find another cushion to hit him, but when he saw that the cushion had been taken away by the other three, Qin Yuan threw an apple at him. ¡°Stop fooling around. When brother Huoes, you two will have to deal with him,¡± Du Jing said. Qin Yuan clicked his tongue and did not say anything else. Seeing this, Mr. Blue Hair threw a question to Du Jing. ¡°Du Jing! Is that weird cousin of yours back?¡± When Mr. Blue Hair spoke, he offended Du Jing. Du Jing¡¯s face instantly darkened. During this period of time, he had been pestered badly. Feng Yu had somehow found out that Huo Zhen was in Bordeaux and pestered him every day to bring her there. The Feng family was also willing to let Feng Yu be with Huo Zhen. Seeing that she was pestering him, Du Jing had a headache. Another cushion hit Mr. Blue Hair while he was happily munching on an apple. ¡°Oh, silly Du Jing, you¡¯ve grown a temper! I told you not to mess around with Microphone Qin. Look at how you¡¯ve been led astray.¡± ¡°Mr. Blue Hair, you really deserve a beating.¡± Du Jing had just finished speaking when the door was pushed open. ¡°Brother Huo.¡± The young man who had been silent and wearing a pair of square-rimmed sses said with a smile on his face. ¡°Hi.¡± ¡°Brother Huo, why did you call us here today? Are you going to do something again?¡± The young man¡¯s gentle tone made Qin Yuan tremble. Ever since he met Jiang Yu, he had always been curious about how this squinty-eyed man could see the road clearly. Luo Tao looked at the few of them and said, ¡°M Country¡¯s Weidun Information Company has recently dered bankruptcy¡­¡± Chapter 195 - Catastrophe Chapter 195 - Catastrophe If Mo Yan had known that Chen Ya would treat her like this, she would not have said those words to Chen Ya. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. At this moment, Mo Yan was the only person in the empty interrogation room. There were surveince cameras on the four corners of the wall. Even now, Mo Yan was still in a daze. At this moment, two police officers in police uniforms sat on the chair opposite Mo Yan. ¡°Mo Yan, 22 years old, is an employee of Hong Jing Real Estate Co., Ltd.¡± Hearing someone naming her, Mo Yan raised her head slightly and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I really don¡¯t know about what Chen Ya said.¡± She was still working in the morning when Chen Ya suddenly called her to the office and pped a document in front of Mo Yan. Mo Yan frowned and took a look. It was a project that thepany had beenpeting with otherpanies for a while. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°You actually have the cheek to ask what¡¯s wrong?¡± After saying that, Chen Ya pped another document in front of Mo Yan. Mo Yan did not understand, so she picked it up and looked at it carefully again. This proposal was moreprehensive than the first one she had read. Not only did it have the advantages of the first proposal, but it also had some new ideas. Mo Yan still did not understand. She frowned and asked, ¡°If you have anything to say, just say it.¡± ¡°The proposal was leaked to the otherpany, causing us to lose the project. Only three people in thepany have seen this proposal. Xiao Wu, me, and you.¡± The more Mo Yan listened, the more she had a bad feeling. ¡°Why do you think I leaked it?¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not you, then is it me or Xiao Wu who leaked it?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Mo Yan asked. Chen Ya sneered and said, ¡°I¡¯m relying on this project to make aeback, and Xiao Wu is an old man in thepany. He is counting on this project to get a promotion and a raise. Do you think we will leak it?¡± Hearing Chen Ya say this, Mo Yan¡¯s heart was also in a mess. She felt that there seemed to be something wrong. Previously, Xiao Wu said that he wanted to ask her about the project. He said that it was because she had gone to Jing City and wanted her to help him see if there was anything that needed to be improved. Mo Yan did not think too much about it at that time, so she naturally helped her look at it and gave him a lot of suggestions. ¡°Mo Yan, you leaked thepany¡¯s project secrets and caused a huge loss to thepany. This time, thepany will not forgive you.¡± After saying this, Chen Ya locked Mo Yan in her office. Not long after, a few police officers came and took Mo Yan away. When she brushed past Chen Ya, Mo Yan instantly saw a sh of pride in Chen Ya¡¯s eyes. It had been a few hours since Mo Yan was brought to the police station. Obviously, the police were also investigating the situation. Now, the interrogation had probably gotten some clues before they came to ask her. ¡°Miss Mo, we have already found out that you received a huge amount of funds the day before yesterday. Please exin the source of the funds.¡± Source? Mo Yan¡¯s mind buzzed as she said, ¡°That was a financial mistake. I originally nned to return it to thepany today!¡± The police officer who was interrogating Mo Yan obviously did not believe her at all. ¡°Miss Mo, if you don¡¯t tell the truth, the responsibility you will bear will be greater if the police find out everything.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Mo Yan said in a low voice. Her mind was in a mess. Although she was sure that the police must have found out something before they asked her this, she had no idea about this matter. What was she going to tell them? Seeing that Mo Yan didn¡¯t speak, the two police officers looked at each other. One of them said, ¡°Miss Mo, the employee who made the deal with you has turned herself in. She said that you took the initiative to contact her and said that you could provide information about the project.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s body trembled as she gritted her teeth. ¡°I didn¡¯t participate in much of this project. Also, I have a bright future. Why would I do such a thing?¡± ¡°ording to the investigation and testimony, you and your boss had a lot of friction. You wanted to use this opportunity to drive them out of thepany.¡± Mo Yan clenched her fists. ¡°I am not so stupid. Besides, with what Chen Ya did before, she wouldn¡¯t be able to stay in thepany without me doing anything.¡± Hearing this, the old policeman nodded at the new policeman, and the two of them left. Mo Yan was left alone in the interrogation room. Her face was pale, and it took her a long time to stop trembling. From the police officer¡¯s words, she already understood that she had been framed and there was also a lot of ¡®evidence¡¯. Was she really going to let herself be framed? Framed just like that? But now, she really couldn¡¯t resist at all. Mo Yan grabbed her hair fiercely, feeling the despair of a trapped beast. In Jing City, Huo Zhen¡¯s office was suddenly broken into. ¡°Huo Zhen! Something happened to sister-inw!¡± Chapter 196 - : Frame Chapter 196 - : Frame Ever since Mo Yan was suddenly taken away by the police yesterday, everyone in thepany had been in a panic. Xu Tian went straight to Chen Ya, and Chen Ya brought her into the office. When they came out, they did not know why Xu Tian had a heavy expression on her face. This made many people wonder if Mo Yan had really done something? After that, the police came to thepany to investigate and collect evidence. They questioned a few employees and made a statement. This series of actions made many people suspect Mo Yan. Of course, there were also people who suspected Chen Ya. It was not because of anything else, but because the timing of Mo Yan being taken away was too coincidental. CEO Song had just flown to Hai City when this happened to Mo Yan. When things like this usually happened, thepany would first solve it internally. If the matter was serious, they would only call the police. But since CEO Song was not around, Chen Ya directly skipped the steps of thepany¡¯s handling, which really made people suspicious. After sending the police away, Chen Ya returned to her office. Sitting behind her desk, Chen Ya covered her face and her whole body trembled, as if she had fallen into madness. It was not until she moved her hand away that her crazy smile was revealed. The silent laughter caused her entire face to be distorted. ¡°Ha! Mo Yan, let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to protect yourself now.¡± At this moment, the viciousness in Chen Ya¡¯s eyes was no longer concealed. ¡­ In Qin Yuan¡¯s office, Luo Tao was holding the confession that he had obtained from the police station, the veins on his forehead bulging. Meanwhile, Qin Yuan sat silently at the side, waiting for Luo Tao to finish reading. Yesterday, when Luo Tao first received the news, he had assigned a task to his subordinates to return to C City as quickly as possible. However, in the chaos of Jing City, if he left immediately, he would definitely attract the attention of various forces. Under Luo Tao¡¯s murderous gaze, Qin Yuan stopped him. Qin Yuan analyzed the situation a lot, but Luo Tao was unmoved. It was not until he said that if anyone noticed Mo Yan, the matter would be even more problematic. Only then did Luo Tao regain some rationality. Qin Yuan asked Luo Tao to deal with hispany¡¯s matters first, and said that he would return to C City to check on the situation first In the end, Luo Tao gazed at him coldly for a while before leaving. After Luo Tao left, Qin Yuan felt that his entire body was covered in cold sweat. After returning to C City, Qin Yuan started to investigate the matter. Whenever he recalled Luo Tao¡¯s condition during the investigation, Qin Yuan felt uneasy. ¡°ording to my investigation, it was Chen Ya who conspired with a rivalpany to frame Mo Yan. Now, the witnesses and evidence are all very disadvantageous to Mo Yan. Several parties insist that it was Mo Yan who sold the proposal to them. Moreover, the surveince showed that only sister-inw went to thepany that night and took the proposal away¡­¡± N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Hearing Qin Yuan¡¯s words, Luo Tao¡¯s expression became more and more cold. The raging anger hidden in the cold was raging. ¡°As for the two people from the rivalpany who framed sister-inw, I have also investigated them. One of them has a family member who is seriously ill, and the other has gambling debts. It¡¯s just that¡­¡± Qin Yuan frowned as he spoke, and there was some hesitation in his tone. ¡°Speak.¡± Luo Tao said coldly. ¡°It¡¯s these two things that seem to be rted to the matter, but also seem to be unrted. The seriously ill person received arge amount of treatment fees five months ago, and the gambling debts have yet to be paid back.¡± Luo Tao frowned and looked at Qin Yuan, saying coldly, ¡°Call Shen Yan back.¡± ¡°Shen Yan? Isn¡¯t she abroad?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s cold gaze made Qin Yuan stop talking. After calling Shen Yan, he exined the situation to thewyer he was familiar with. Qin Yuan understood Luo Tao. He would not let Mo Yan stay at the police station any longer. Calling Shen Yan back was for future matters, and now they still needed awyer to bail Mo Yan out. ¡°Fourth brother, where are you going?¡± Qin Yuan had just finished the phone call when he saw Luo Tao walking out and hurriedly asked. ¡°Police station.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s footsteps kept dropping two words to Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan was stunned, and hurriedly picked up two coats to follow Luo Tao. Sitting in the front passenger seat, Qin Yuan didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. Luo Tao asked about Qin Yuan¡¯swyer¡¯s location, and the car went straight to thew firm. Thewyer was also a quick-witted person, and the two of them were already waiting outside the office. Thewyer had just gotten into the car when he heard Luo Tao ask, ¡°Have you taken a look at everything?¡± Thiswyer was only familiar with Qin Yuan and did not know Luo Tao. He could not help but nce at Qin Yuan and said, ¡°In this case, you can bail Miss Mo out first, and then discuss the details. Although there is a lot of evidence against Miss Mo, it is not impossible to overturn the case.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Tao drove the car quickly, and Qin Yuan couldn¡¯t help but fasten his seatbelt. It was said that the passenger seat was the most unsafe seat, and now he somewhat regretted sitting in this seat. Qin Yuan nced at thewyer from the rearview mirror and saw that thewyer¡¯s face was also pale as if he was frightened. Chapter 197 - Luo Taos Heart Ached Chapter 197 - Luo Tao''s Heart Ached ¡°Mo Yan.¡± Luo Tao called out to the girl who was hugging her knees and curled up in the corner of the detention center. Hearing the familiar voice, Mo Yan slowly raised her head. The moment she saw Luo Tao, she thought she was hallucinating. Actually, Mo Yan had only stayed in the detention center for one night. The environment of the detention center was not that bad. The reason why Mo Yan looked so haggard was not because of external conditions, but because of the uneasiness in her heart. She was afraid. She did not know what other methods Chen Ya would think of to frame her, and she also did not know how much evidence Chen Ya would create. The lock on the door was opened, and Luo Tao walked over to pick her up. It was not until she touched Luo Tao¡¯s body and felt his temperature that Mo Yan¡¯s tensed nerves rxed. She could no longer control her tears and buried her head deep into Luo Tao¡¯s chest, trembling and crying silently. Seeing Mo Yan like this, Luo Tao felt an intense pain in his heart, causing him to hug Mo Yan¡¯s arm even tighter. The bail procedures had beenpleted. Luo Tao carried Mo Yan and strode out of the police station, attracting many inquisitive gazes along the way. When they returned, Qin Yuan was driving. Thewyer was sitting in the passenger seat, while Mo Yan was crying in Luo Tao¡¯s arms. It was not that Mo Yan was a cry baby, but this incident did scare her. From the few words of the police officer, Mo Yan could tell how much preparation Chen Ya had done to frame her. Chen Ya really wanted to get rid of her. ¡°It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m here. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Luo Tao held Mo Yan in his arms and did not let go. He gently patted her back tofort her. Listening to her intermittent crying, Luo Tao¡¯s heart could not help but throb. He really wanted to tell her his identity now and keep her with him at all times, but he could not. No one spoke in the car. Gradually, Mo Yan cried until she was tired and fell asleep. Luo Tao did not bring Mo Yan home directly. Instead, he went to the hotel of the Qin family. After the private doctor saw that nothing was wrong with her, Luo Tao was relieved. In the living room, Qin Yuan was listening to thewyer talk about Mo Yan¡¯s case. ¡°How do we solve it?¡± Luo Tao sat on the sofa and asked. Qin Yuan looked at him and pushed a ss of red wine in front of Luo Tao. He hesitated and said, ¡°It¡¯s best to solve it privately.¡± ¡°Settle it privately?¡± Luo Tao narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Yuan. Swallowing his saliva, Qin Yuan continued, ¡°Yes, let thepany decide on its own. The loss will be borne by sister-inw.¡± Luo Tao did not say anything. His pair of ice-cold eyes stared quietly at Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan pushed the wine in front of Luo Tao and smiled apologetically, ¡°This is not what I think, it¡¯s just what thewyer said.¡± Seeing that Qin Yuan was ming him, thewyer who was sitting next to Qin Yuan and wearing ck- rimmed sses red at him fiercely, he put in 120% of his energy and exined, ¡°This case could have been resolved internally, and it wouldn¡¯t have caused too much of an impact. However, someone had an ulterior motive and skipped this step.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Once the trial starts, no matter what the final oue is, it will affect Miss Mo¡¯s reputation.¡± This was what Qin Yuan had told him when he was talking to Qin Yuan alone. The most important oue of this case was to minimize Mo Yan¡¯s losses. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Thus, thewyer continued, ¡°Based on the evidence and the investigation results, the trial is disadvantageous to Miss Mo. If what young master Qin said is true, Miss Mo was framed by someone, then it will take time to gather evidence and investigate. After finding clues, it will take time to build a case. When the truth is revealed, no one will pay attention to the results, because during this time, everyone will believe that Miss Mo leaked thepany¡¯s ns, which will cause great damage to Miss Mo¡¯s reputation.¡± After thewyer finished speaking, Qin Yuan nodded his head vigorously. Then, he was red at by thewyer again. ¡°Fourth brother, take this as a loss. Tell sister-inw to pay more attention in the future. I will help sister- inw pay whatever Hong Jing wants.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s gaze fell on the red wine. After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°Is this the best result?¡± Qin Yuan and thewyer did not reply. They had already finished what they wanted to say. ¡°If going through the legal process can only do so much, please!¡± Luo Tao chuckled. Hearing this, the two of them felt a chill down their spines. As Luo Tao¡¯s best friend, when Qin Yuan saw Luo Tao like this, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart. He hurriedly said, ¡°Fourth brother, what are you going to do this time? Jing City is still in a mess! Don¡¯t cause any more trouble.¡± Luo Tao raised his head to look at him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. ¡°Not me. You. You will be the one who causes trouble.¡± ¡°What?¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s eyes were as wide as copper bells. Chapter 198 - Qin Yuan Making a Move Chapter 198 - Qin Yuan Making a Move Luo Tao looked at thewyer. Awyer who could interact with Qin Yuan would naturally be able to read people¡¯s eyes. Seeing this, he bade farewell and left. Only Luo Tao and Qin Yuan were left in the living room. Luo Tao leaned against the back of the sofa and tapped on the armrest with his fingers. The next second, he casually said something about the future of the twopanies. ¡°Cut off all the projects between Hong Jing and thatpany. When you find out who framed Mo Yan, then let them go.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Qin Yuan reacted for two seconds before he understood what Luo Tao was talking about. The corners of his mouth twitched and he said speechlessly, ¡°No way! Fourth Brother.¡± Luo Tao nced at him indifferently. ¡°Do you have another way?¡± Qin Yuan knew that the method Luo Tao was talking about was to not let Mo Yan bear a single stain and clear her name. ¡°Fourth brother, this will be noticed by others! And it will be very troublesome. My father might even skin me alive!¡± ¡°The roots of your family are not in C City. What does it matter?¡± ¡°Then, then my interference in the real estate will attract the attention of the people in Jing City!¡± ¡°Would you rather I get angry?¡± Luo Tao gave Qin Yuan a perfect reason. Although the corners of his mouth were still curved, his eyes were cold. Qin Yuan resisted the urge to run away. It was all Mo Lian¡¯s fault. Huo Zhen would never forget the scandal between him and Mo Yan. ¡°Fourth brother! Please take pity on me! My father even suspected that I had a girlfriend again. How can I do something sorge-scale?¡± ¡°The old master¡¯s Jade.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t love Jade. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m afraid of being targeted!¡± ¡°I will give the Qin family 3% of M Country¡¯s Information Company shares.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Qin Yuan sucked in a breath of cold air. How was he, brother Huo, so charmed by Mo Yan? That he actually proposed such a condition! Qin Yuan replied quickly, ¡°It¡¯s my responsibility to share fourth brother¡¯s worries.¡± ¡°Also,¡± Luo Tao said. ¡°Yes, yes. Please speak.¡± Qin Yuan said helplessly. Luo Tao couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at Qin Yuan¡¯s appearance. He silently shifted his gaze to the side and said, ¡°Before I reveal my identity to Mo Yan, use your name to protect her.¡± Qin Yuan chuckled and said, ¡°Of course. From now on, sister-inw is my God. I¡¯ll set up an alter to worship her. Oh right, fourth brother, what happens if someone finds out what we are doing?¡± This was a gray area. Local forces would not interfere in such matters. The Qin and Huo families were too prominent. Of course, under normal circumstances, Qin Yuan would not be so ruthless. He would not think of using such a method to deal with people. It was just that Chen Ya and Mo Lian were really disgusting. Qin Yuan did not feel guilty ruining their lives. ¡°Let¡¯s see what Mo Yan says! After all, she is the one who is suffering. It is better to let her deal with it herself.¡± Qin Yuan clicked his tongue. He did not understand just how charming Mo Yan was to be able to get Huo Zhen wrapped all around her little finger. ¡°Fourth brother, there¡¯s something I¡¯m quite curious about.¡± ¡°Speak,¡± Luo Tao replied Qin Yuan with a simple word. Qin Yuan smiled ambiguously and said, ¡°Fourth brother, you¡¯re so protective of sister-inw, and sister- inw likes you so much. Since you¡¯re so loving, when are you going to turn the two of you into a family of three?¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Luo Tao was a little happy when he heard Qin Yuan say that Mo Yan liked him, but thetter words made his body stiffen. ¡°I said, when will I get a niece? I¡¯m starting to wonder if you guys are preparing to bear a child! Hehe, if that¡¯s the case, the old man won¡¯t be able to refuse even if he wants to.¡± Seeing that Luo Tao, who had always been calm, actually showed such an expression, Qin Yuan teased even more enthusiastically. ¡°If you guys really bear a child, the old man will really be pleasantly surprised, hahahaha.¡± Before Qin Yuan could finish his sentence, Luo Tao threw him a cushion with one hand, got up and left. ¡°Hey! Fourth Brother! Where are you going?¡± ¡°Quiet, shut up.¡± Luo Tao threw Qin Yuan two words and walked straight to Mo Yan¡¯s room. Mo Yan slept very soundly. She had not slept for two days and one night, and she was in a tense state, which made Mo Yan very tired. Luo Tao gently smoothed Mo Yan¡¯s tightly furrowed eyebrows, leaned over and kissed Mo Yan¡¯s forehead. As if sensing Luo Tao¡¯s aura, Mo Yan¡¯s expression gradually rxed. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ll be by your side. Sleep well!¡± Qin Yuan saw that Luo Tao did not close the door, so he quietly followed him. He did not expect to see such a scene. He almost vomited. Noticing the gentle expression on Luo Tao¡¯s face, Qin Yuan could not help but think that if he could meet someone that he could also treat wholeheartedly, it would probably be pretty nice. Chapter 199 - Sister Xu Had a Secret? Chapter 199 - Sister Xu Had a Secret? On the third day, Mo Yan came to thepany as usual, attracting a group of colleagues to stare at her. Originally, Luo Tao had hoped that Mo Yan would rest at home for a few days before going to the company. However, Mo Yan wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, so she couldn¡¯t wait to come. Faced with her colleagues¡¯ inquiries, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t exin the whole story, so she could only vaguely say that she didn¡¯t know. At this time, Xu Tian also came over. Mo Yan followed her to the stairs where the two of them usually talked. Xu Tian opened her mouth and asked Mo Yan a question that she did not expect. ¡°Mo Yan, what is your rtionship with Qin Yuan?¡± ¡°Qin Yuan?¡± Mo Yan suddenly remembered that when Luo Tao came to pick her up yesterday, Qin Yuan seemed to be there too. If Qin Yuan knew that Mo Yan was thinking about this, he would definitely shout, ¡°Sister-inw, I was the one who drove you yesterday! However, Qin Yuan didn¡¯t know it now. ¡°Sister Xu, why did you suddenly mention Qin Yuan?¡± Mo Yan asked. Xu Tian looked straight at Mo Yan and repeated, ¡°What¡¯s your rtionship with him?¡± Mo Yan was confused by Xu Tian¡¯s attitude, but she still answered Xu Tian¡¯s question. ¡°It¡¯s nothing!¡± ¡°Then why would Qin Yuan pressure thepany for you?¡± Xu Tian continued to ask, Mo Yan was shocked by Xu Tian¡¯s words. ¡°Pressure? I¡¯m not sure!¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Xu Tian did not speak, waiting for Mo Yan to answer her question. After all, she had been friends with Xu Tian for a long time. Even if Xu Tian did not speak, Mo Yan understood what she meant. ¡°I heard from Qin Yuan that his friend asked him to take care of me.¡± After listening to Mo Yan¡¯s words, Xu Tian frowned and did not dwell on the issue of Qin Yuan helping Mo Yan. ¡°What about you? He takes care of you so much. Do you have any thoughts about him?¡± Mo Yan felt that Xu Tian was very strange today, as if she was obsessed with something. ¡°What thoughts? Sister Xu, what exactly do you want to ask?¡± Mo Yan frowned and asked. Xu Tian Thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, ¡°He treats you so well. Do you like him?¡± Mo Yan blinked and then blinked again. The corner of her mouth twitched as she said, ¡°Sister Xu, what are you thinking!¡± These words made Xu Tian blush. Mo Yan continued to add, ¡°Sister Xu, I have a husband! If Qin Yuan helped me, I would be grateful to him, but why would I like him! I don¡¯t have much contact with him.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t like him? His family background is much better than your husband¡¯s,¡± Xu Tian said. Mo Yan burst outughing. ¡°Sister Xu, why are youparing them? If I like him because his family background is good, then shouldn¡¯t I like the richest person in the world?¡± After Mo Yan¡¯s gag, the atmosphere between the two of them was much more rxed. Mo Yan looked at Xu Tian curiously, as if sister Xu was particrly concerned about who she liked. ¡°Sister Xu, were you angry just now?¡± This time, it was Mo Yan¡¯s turn to ask Xu Tian. ¡°No, I just felt that you should cherish your family.¡± Xu Tian¡¯s words had a deeper meaning, which made Mo Yan want to probe further. ¡°Sister Xu, did something happen to you?¡± Without answering Mo Yan¡¯s question, Xu Tian silently looked at the sky outside the window. Seeing that Xu Tian didn¡¯t answer, Mo Yan was too embarrassed to get to the bottom of it, so she asked about what happened in thepany these two days. ¡°Sister Xu, you said that you saw a video of me taking Xiao Wu¡¯s documents in Chen Ya¡¯s Office?¡± Mo Yan frowned. ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Yan carefully recalled that there was indeed a night when Xiao Wu asked her to send the documents down after work. ¡°That day, I got off workte. Xiao Wu said that he urgently needed this document and he didn¡¯t want to go upstairs, so I sent it down to him!¡± ¡°Xiao Wu asked you to send it?¡± Xu Tian asked. ¡°Yes! If he didn¡¯t ask me to send it, why would I take it!¡± Suddenly, Mo Yan realized that the document that Xiao Wu had originally asked her to retrieve had be evidence that she had leaked thepany¡¯s n. Mo Yan recalled the details of that night once again. Scenes shed through her mind, and gradually, some abnormal parts appeared in her memory. She remembered that day when Xiao Wu had asked her to deliver the documents to the back door of thepany, he was dressed in very covered-up clothes. That day, she had even specially asked him why he was dressed like this. He had said that he had a cold and was not feeling well, so he had put on the mask and hat. Now that she thought about it, it was really too strange. His body was in pain, yet he still had to get the documents? He had even said that the back door of thepany was closer to his house. At that time, she had not paid much attention to it, but now that she thought about it, it was really suspicious. Mo Yan told Xu Tian everything that she recalled, Xu Tian said with a solemn expression, ¡°Chen Ya really wants to get rid of you this time. I¡¯ve heard that thepany lost hundreds of thousands of dors. This amount is enough to get you fired. Moreover, there is also very clear evidence that proves that it was you who leaked the information that caused the project to be lost.¡± Chapter 200 - : Investigation Speed Chapter 200 - : Investigation Speed ¡°Clear evidence?¡± Mo Yan asked. ¡°Yes. Initially, because the n was the same, it was impossible to say who giarized who. However, the person in charge of the project over there turned himself in and clearly pointed out that you were the one who sold the proposal to him.¡± Xu Tian told Mo Yan about the progress of the events in the past two days. Mo Yan clenched her fists tightly and mmed them against the wall. She gritted her teeth and read out a name. ¡°Chen Ya!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Qin Yuan has already pressured the higher-ups of thepany to investigate this matter. As long as you didn¡¯t do it, the truth will prevail.¡± Xu Tian patted her shoulder andforted her. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°Pressure?¡± Hearing Xu Tian mention this word again, Mo Yan said in confusion, ¡°Sister Xu, what exactly did Qin Yuan Do?¡± ¡°You really want to know?¡± Xu Tian asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Mo Yan nodded her head hard to show her sincerity. Unexpectedly, Xu Tian sneered, ¡°The young master of the Qin family has cut off all of Hong Jing¡¯s projects.¡± ¡°Cut off?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes instantly widened. Xu Tian continued to sneer, ¡°Not only Hong Jing, thatpany too. I think in a few days, we will be able to find out the truth.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s mouth was wide open. Suddenly, she had a new understanding of Qin Yuan¡¯s ability. Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s dumbfounded look, Xu Tian said helplessly, ¡°So, what kind of big shot did you meet that Qin Yuan would protect you like this?¡± ¡°I, I don¡¯t know!¡± Mo Yan scratched her head. A strand of her hair stood up, looking both silly and cute. Xu Tian could not help but rub her hands, and Mo Yanughed. ¡°A fool has a fool¡¯s fortune,¡± Xu Tian said. ¡°By the way, sister Xu, I feel like you were very unhappy when you mentioned Qin Yuan just now.¡± When she mentioned this, Xu Tian rolled her eyes in an indecent manner. This was the first time Mo Yan had seen such an expression on Xu Tian¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯m in charge of many of the projects that were cut off.¡± Mo Yan swallowed her saliva andughed dryly. ¡°Ha, haha, then, then there must be a lot of people in thepany who hate me now!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true. Only a few of the higher-ups in thepany know about it. I only heard about it from sister Song.¡± ¡°Is that so! Fortunately, fortunately, they don¡¯t know that it¡¯s my fault.¡± Mo Yan was patting her small chest, but Xu Tian pinched her ear. ¡°Fortunately?¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not what I mean. Hehe, sister Xu, can you apany me to a ce?¡± Xu Tian looked at her expression and smiled slightly. ¡°Why? What did you think of?¡± ¡°Well, I can¡¯t let others do everything for me!¡± Mo Yan smiled at Xu Tian with curved eyes. ¡­ On the day that Mo Yan came to thepany, Hong Jing withdrew the case. The one who reported the case was Chen Ya, and the one who withdrew the case was a director of the company. This kind of operation was like telling everyone in thepany that there was someone backing up Mo Yan. And the rumors about Mo Yan spread once again. This time, it was not on the surface, but only in private between colleagues. From the start of the incident to the fifth day, thepany was very busy. People kept walking into the leader¡¯s office, and there were peopleing out too. They searched for clues, and the truth gradually emerged. To be honest, they saw more of their colleagues than their family members every day. If anyone made any strange moves, they would always be noticed. Mo Yan also obtained the surveince footage of Xiao Wu leaving the back door and going home through a small path. It was recorded by a small supermarket. Xiao Wu passed by the door with a paper bag filled with documents. As Mo Yan recognized Xiao Wu¡¯s attire, she found him among the crowd at a nce. Not only was Hong Jing making progress, anotherpany was also rapidly investigating. Although they did not make an announcement, there were rumors spreading one after another. It was the morning of the seventh day. While everyone was still chatting, a sharp and ear-piercing voice came from Chen Ya¡¯s office. ¡°Why did you fire me?¡± It was probably because the door was not closed. This sentence was clearly heard by everyone. A few female colleagues who usually liked to gossip looked at each other. After onest nce, they carefully approached the door of Chen Ya¡¯s office. Li Guoguo also touched Mo Yan¡¯s arm and whispered, ¡°Sister Mo Yan, let¡¯s go and listen to what happened. Maybe it has something to do with you.¡± A few days ago, Li Guoguo was busy dating and was afraid of being implicated by Mo Yan, so she didn¡¯t talk to Mo Yan. However, after she heard the news that there was someone backing up Mo Yan, Li Guoguo regained her usual friendliness, and they were even closer than before. Chapter 201 - Firing Chen Ya Chapter 201 - Firing Chen Ya ¡°Supervisor Chen, firing you is a decision made jointly by thepany¡¯s top management. ¡± While Chen Ya was cursing, a calm and collected female director came to inform Chen Ya of the verdict. She picked up her coffee and took a sip. ¡°All these years, I¡¯ve worked hard for thepany, but in return, I¡¯m abandoned by thepany now that something¡¯s gone wrong? ¡± Chen Ya¡¯s hysterical roar made Mo Yan want to cover her ears. Chen Ya¡¯s voice was usually sharp, and the lethality of her random roar was doubled. ¡°Chen Ya, you also recognize that something¡¯s gone wrong? Have we ever had a peaceful day since you entered Hong Jing? This is thepany, a ce to make money. It¡¯s not specifically for you and Zhou Shuai to fall in love! ¡± The director looked at Chen Ya with a fierce gaze, her words merciless. ¡°You, w-what do you mean by that? What do you mean not for me and Zhou Shuai to fall in love? ¡± Chen Ya¡¯sst bit of dignity was stripped by the director, and she was momentarily speechless. She could only ask back while stuttering. ¡°A small quarrel every two days, and a big fuss every three days. Do you think that everyone treats Zhou Shuai as a treasure like you? Have you ever thought about how many employees in thepany you¡¯ve driven out? You¡¯re not satisfied when you see someone who¡¯s beautiful, and you¡¯re jealous when you see someone who¡¯s better at work than you. Do you really think that thepany is owned by your family? Does everyone have to treat you like a princess? ¡± ¡°I don¡¯t! I¡¯ve signed so many orders for thepany! You only remember these trivial things. Why didn¡¯t you mention the times I earned money for thepany? You guys are the ungrateful ones! ¡± The director sneered. ¡°Your orders? Howe you don¡¯t remember them clearly? Which of your orders wasn¡¯t gotten with the help of Chen Jin? You might as well go and ask how many of your so- called big clients are willing to pay attention to you without Chen Jin. ¡± This director had been dissatisfied with Chen Ya since a long time ago, but because it would implicate Chen Jin, she couldn¡¯t say anything. Now, Chen Jin was sent to retire, and Chen Ya was fired. If she didn¡¯t vent her anger, how could she see past Chen Ya having had her way for so long? N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. ¡°You! You¡¯re ndering me! How dare you talk to me like that? I¡¯m going to see Uncle Qin and make him fire you. ¡± The smile on the director¡¯s face became even more mocking. ¡°Go! I¡¯m waiting. I suggest you go quickly. Otherwise, when your Uncle Qin leaves in a while, you won¡¯t even be able to see him anymore. ¡± ¡°What do you mean? ¡± ¡°I mean it literally. Fortunately, Chen Jin was implicated by you this time and waspletely dismissed. Otherwise, who knows how long it would have taken to get rid of you? ¡± Chen Ya¡¯s legs went weak, and she fell onto the couch. ¡°No, all of this is wrong. It wasn¡¯t me. I didn¡¯t do anything! Don¡¯t believe that little b*tch Mo Yan. I didn¡¯t make a mistake, and Uncle Qin shouldn¡¯t be dismissed either! ¡± ¡°Chen Ya, the results of the investigation are out. You¡¯re just jealous that she¡¯s prettier than you and thus sabotaged her. It¡¯s useless to look for anyone to help you now. Leave obediently, and you can still retain yourst bit of dignity. If you wait for the security guards to chase you away¡­ Hah! ¡± Chen Ya seemed to have been drained of all her energy as she sat on the spot in a daze. The director originally thought that the matter would end like that. However, just as she reached out to pull the door open, she heard a crash behind her. All the tea sets on the coffee table fell to the ground. ¡°Ahhhh! You¡¯re all liars! Mo Yan is the one who should leave thepany! I¡¯ve worked hard for the company all these years, and thepany actually¡¯s treating me like this because of a little b*tch! ¡± Chen Ya yelled as she smashed up the things in the office. The pieces of the pottery flew up, and Mo Yan and the others did not dare to eavesdrop through the gap in the door. However, even if they did not eavesdrop on the sound inside, they could still hear it through the door. ¡°B*tch, all b*tches! That b*tch Mo Yan deserves to die! ¡± The few people outside the door looked at each other, their gazes all focused on Mo Yan. Mo Yan rubbed her nose. She really did not do anything this time. She did not expect Qin Yuan to be so ruthless and deal Chen Ya a fatal blow at one go. She did not even have the time to take out the evidence that she had kept. The director in the office was first shocked by Chen Ya¡¯s actions. She immediately reacted and shouted sternly, ¡°Stop! ¡± Of course, since Chen Ya had gone crazy, it meant that she didn¡¯t care what the director said. She picked up the vase by the desk and continued to smash it. ¡°Chen Ya, I heard that you just came out of the police station a while ago. Do you want to go back in again? ¡± Chapter 202 - Full Compensation Chapter 202 - Full Compensation The director was no longer as calm as before. Anger had spread all over her face. ¡°Chen Ya, after getting notified that you¡¯re fired, you swore to take revenge on thepany and maliciously destroyed thepany¡¯s property. You will go to jail like this. ¡± Chen Ya only felt refreshed when she smashed things. She did not think too much about it. However, when she heard the director mention the word ¡°jail, ¡± she felt afraid. ¡°You! ¡± ¡°I will make a list of the things you broke at the original price for you. I hope you can make up for the loss before you leave. Otherwise, I will sue you for destroying thepany¡¯s property. ¡± This time, the director left without looking back. After the director left, Chen Ya¡¯s sobbing could be faintly heard in the office. Another hour passed, and Chen Ya appeared in thepany corridor with her personal belongings. There was joy, mockery, contempt, and disdain in the eyes of her colleagues. Among those people were Chen Ya¡¯s formerckeys. However, Chen Ya deserved it. She had been bullying people in thepany for so long. Almost everyone in thepany¡¯s first reaction whenever they saw Chen Ya was that something had happened again! Or perhaps, Zhou Shuai was having an ambiguous rtionship with another girl. Now that the dark clouds that had shrouded the bottom-level employees of thepany had finally dispersed, how could they not be happy and fortunate? Although Mo Yan was happy, she did not want to have any more interactions with Chen Ya. She was really annoyed to death by her. However, as Mo Yan was in the elevator to send some documents downstairs, just a second before the doors closed, they suddenly opened again. She saw Chen Ya walking up with something in her arms. The elevator door was closed, and the small space was quiet. Mo Yan and Chen Ya each upied a corner. ¡°Mo Yan, remember this. We¡¯re not done yet, ¡± Chen Ya said fiercely to Mo Yan. Mo Yan couldn¡¯t be bothered with her barks. She was in a good mood, and she didn¡¯t want to argue with a person who was about to leave thepany. The elevator arrived at Mo Yan¡¯s floor very quickly. Until the door was closed, Mo Yan could still feel Chen Ya¡¯s murderous gaze. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. She mused, ¡°Does Chen Ya treat me like a child, thinking that a few harsh words would scare me? ¡± Mo Yan sneered and walked toward the office without looking back. There were victories and defeats in life. Those who could not afford to lose could only struggle in the quagmire. For someone like Chen Ya, since the matter was already over, Mo Yan would just have removed her from her life. ¡­ In the private room of the club, Qin Yuan and Luo Tao were talking about the development of things on Mo Yan¡¯s side. ¡°This time, it was really out of my expectations. It went so smoothly that I couldn¡¯t believe it, ¡± Qin Yuan said as he took a sip of the red wine in his ss. ¡°It was done well. ¡± Qin Yuan didn¡¯t expect Luo Tao to praise him at all. In an instant, goosebumps spread all over his body. ¡°Didn¡¯t expect you to know how topliment someone else! ¡± Qin Yuan scoffed. Then, he was red back at by Luo Tao. ¡°I heard from Wen Ze that the Qin family has been severely suppressed in Jing City recently. is Uncle Qin doing well? ¡± Qin Yuan couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°My father said that I¡¯m not allowed to return to Jing City for now. He said that Jing City has been too out of control recently. Without you controlling the situation, every member of the Huo family is going around trying to secure an advantageous deal for themselves. ¡± ¡°Does Uncle Qin have enough manpower? If not, I¡¯ll transfer two from abroad. ¡± Qin Yuan understood what Luo Tao meant by sending two back. It was not to interfere with the internal affairs of the Qin family, but to ensure the safety of his father¡¯s life. ¡°My father said it¡¯s all right for the time being. Sigh, I¡¯m worried too, but my father won¡¯t let me go back no matter what. ¡± ¡°Then you should just stay here. It¡¯s easy to hit rock bottom in Jing City. ¡± ¡°Yes, I contacted Mr. Blue Hair two days ago. He said that it would take a long time this time. Do you think I should also go abroad to take a look? ¡± Their n was to take the project abroad and then return to Jing City. So if they could get the Qin family earlier, they would be able to settle down as soon as possible. ¡°No need. You control the domestic economy. You can do whatever you want with the private assets in my hands. Just don¡¯t let the Huo familyy their eyes on them. ¡± ¡°Why do you suddenly want me to take over? ¡± Qin Yuan asked, puzzled. Luo Tao frowned slightly. ¡°I feel that someone has been keeping an eye on me recently. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I won¡¯t be making international contact during this period of time. If there¡¯s anything urgent, you can look for me directly. ¡± ¡°Okay. ¡± Chapter 203 - Emotions Welling Chapter 203 - Emotions Welling Without Chen Ya¡¯s suppression, Mo Yan felt that the past few days had been very rxing. However, for some reason, Luo Tao seemed to have something on his mind. It happened to be a Saturday. Mo Yan and Luo Tao did not set an rm. They were prepared to sleep until they woke up naturally. If it was the former Luo Tao or, Huo Zhen, such a thing would never happen. He had a fixed schedule. Every morning, he would wake up at a fixed time to practice boxing. It was an essential routine for him. But after spending time with Mo Yan, he gradually found the joy of living a leisurely life. There was no need to deal with the politics of the business world or the Huo family. Every day, he just needed to watch over Mo Yan, listen to herugh, and listen to her tell many trivial things with relish. Luo Tao woke up before Mo Yan. Looking at the person in his arms who was sleeping with a reddened face, Luo Tao couldn¡¯t help but kiss her forehead. Mo Yan felt a heat on her forehead. She arched her body and went deeper into Luo Tao¡¯s arms, muttering, ¡°Darling. ¡± That voice made Luo Tao¡¯s heart go soft. In addition, it was still morning, so the man¡¯s inevitable physiological reaction urred. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s soft sleeping face, Luo Tao leaned close to her face and kissed her. Mo Yan was woken up by Luo Tao¡¯s kiss. The saliva and air in her mouth were robbed at the same time. A pair of big hands moved around her body, leaving warm traces everywhere. The pair of hands lifted her pajamas and caressed the skin on her waist. Her legs went a little weak from being touched. ¡°Luo Tao, ¡± Mo Yan called out softly. Luo Tao raised his face and looked into her misty eyes. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you calling me darling anymore? ¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was low and hoarse when he spoke, causing Mo Yan¡¯s heart to tremble. After he said that, Luo Tao buried his head back into Mo Yan¡¯s neck and nibbled gently. As Luo Tao¡¯s kiss gradually slid down, Mo Yan also became more aroused. ¡°No, don¡¯t kiss there. ¡± Mo Yan panted to stop Luo Tao. However, Luo Tao deliberately yed tricks and took a deep breath on Mo Yan¡¯s breasts, causing Mo Yan to almost scream out loud. Mo Yan felt a hot object gently rubbing between her legs. Although she had not experienced it, it did not mean that she did not know what it was. Her little face blushed as she asked softly, ¡°D-Do you want to do it? ¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was very soft, but it was instantly captured by Luo Tao. ¡°What did you say? ¡± The desire in Luo Tao¡¯s eyes was not concealed at all. It was like a raging fire that was about to burn Mo Yan to ashes. Mo Yan was so embarrassed by his stare that her face turned red. Her lips opened and closed several times, but she was still unable to say it out loud. Seeing that Luo Tao was waiting for her answer, Mo Yan had no choice but to close her eyes and make up her mind. She kissed Luo Tao¡¯s slightly thin lips directly. Their lips and tongues intertwined, forming a silver line. Mo Yan felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her body. Luo Tao caressed Mo Yan¡¯s face and pressed hard against Mo Yan¡¯s legs. He whispered in Mo Yan¡¯s ear, ¡°mp tightly. ¡± Being hugged by the hot body of Luo Tao, Mo Yan felt like she was having a wet dream. After a while, when Mo Yan finally came back to her senses from the passionate moment, she noticed that Luo Tao had been staring at her deeply. ¡°Luo Tao, you¡­ you don¡¯t want to¡­ ¡± What she wanted to say was a little hard to say, so she couldn¡¯t say it out loud. However, Luo Tao¡¯s gaze made her make up her mind. ¡°If you want it, I can give it to you. ¡± After saying that, Mo Yan quickly digged into Luo Tao¡¯s arms and buried her red face deep within. Luo Tao stroked Mo Yan¡¯s ck hair and sighed. It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t want it, but he had already made a deal with Mo Cheng. Moreover, the situation in Jing City was still uncertain. He was afraid that something unpredictable would happen if Mo Yan followed him. ¡°Don¡¯t tease me anymore. I won¡¯t be able to stand it. ¡± Luo Tao¡¯s breathnded on Mo Yan¡¯s ear. Actually, not only Luo Tao, but Mo Yan also felt that she wouldn¡¯t be able to stand it. Therefore, under the strange tacit understanding between the two of them, they both chose not to tease each other. After a while, Mo Yan got up and prepared to take a shower before making breakfast. However, Luo Tao was like a puppy. Wherever she went, he would follow. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Only when Luo Tao was about to follow her into the bathroom did Mo Yan m the door shut. Then, a gentleughter came from outside the door. Mo Yan gently patted her red cheeks with cold water. No matter what, she could not resist Luo Tao¡¯s beauty! It was too illegal for a man to look so gorgeous! After changing her clothes, Mo Yan was ready to take a shower. However, when she saw the stained underwear, her face unconsciously turned red. Chapter 204 - Couple Outfits Charm Chapter 204 - Couple Outfits'' Charm That morning seemed to be no different from the previous ones, but there were some changes in the hearts of the two of them. The most obvious change was that Luo Tao¡¯s gaze toward Mo Yan became even more passionate. The two of them tidied up the house together, and Mo Yan asked Luo Tao if he wanted to go with her to see Mo Cheng. Faced with his wife¡¯s invitation, Luo Tao naturally readily agreed. Taking advantage of his free time, he wished that he could be together with Mo Yan 24 hours a day. Mo Yan suggested that the two of them wear matching outfits, but Luo Tao was unwilling, so Mo Yan whined to him. Luo Tao could resist the temptation of beauty and money, but he could not resist the person he liked using the most adorable expression to pull his arm and ask if he could. The result of him being soft-hearted was they both, the looker couple, attracting a lot of attention just by walking. Luo Tao¡¯s brows were still locked tightly when he got into the taxi. Mo Yan tried her best to widen her eyes and asked innocently, ¡°Darling, do you not like wearing a couple¡¯s outfit with me? ¡± Luo Tao had discovered that Mo Yan had a special way of treating him. When the two of them disagreed on something, Mo Yan would use a soft voice to call him darling. She really knew him well. Luo Tao rubbed Mo Yan¡¯s bun hard and messed up her hair that she had worked so hard to tie up before saying, ¡°No. ¡± Mo Yan red at him angrily. Since earlier, she had felt that Luo Tao nned to mess up her bun. She did not expect him to rub it directly and let her effort doing it up go to waste. Mo Yan only called Mo Cheng when she was about to reach school. Five minutester, Mo Yan saw Mo Cheng running over while panting. ¡°Why are you running? I¡¯m not in a hurry. You could have just taken your time to walk over. ¡± As she said that, Mo Yan took out a pack of tissues to wipe Mo Cheng¡¯s sweat. Mo Cheng was about to happily ept his sister¡¯s service, but a gaze pierced straight into his back. Mo Cheng understood and turned to look behind him. He saw his brother-inw, who had always been reserved and cold, staring at him. What made Mo Cheng the most speechless was not the man¡¯s gaze, but the clothes on his body. What exactly happened? Could it be that his brother-inw had been switched out? After Mo Cheng looked at Luo Tao, he turned his gaze back to Mo Yan. Suddenly, Mo Cheng shouted, giving Mo Yan a fright. ¡°You and Luo Tao are actually wearing matching outfits! And it¡¯s in this style! ¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! You only just saw it? ¡± Mo Yan said while smiling with her eyes curved. ¡°The two of us have been watched the entire way here. ¡± Mo Cheng¡¯s mouth twitched as he gave Luo Tao a thumbs up. That type of couple costume was obviously his sister¡¯s type. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that it did not match with Luo Tao. However, Luo Tao forced himself to wear it. If that was not true love, then what was? Luo Tao raised his eyebrows. Although he still had some opinions about the outfit, it had its value in obtaining the affirmation of Mo Yan¡¯s younger brother. ¡°Did you speciallye to see me today? ¡± Mo Cheng asked. Mo Yan nodded. Originally, she was nning to fetch Mo Cheng and go visit their mother together, but on second thought, since she was there, she might as well have Mo Cheng bring her around. For all she knew, she might meet the person who bullied Mo Cheng. Even if she did not get Luo Tao to retaliate on Mo Cheng¡¯s behalf, she could scare them and teach them a lesson. ¡°You¡¯ve been here for so long, but I haven¡¯t taken a look around your campus. Show me around! ¡± As Mo Yan spoke, she pulled Mo Cheng inside, while Luo Tao followed behind them. After the guard confirmed that they were indeed Mo Cheng¡¯s rtives, he let them in. There were many children from rich families in Mo Cheng¡¯s school, and their families were all in the city. They would almost always go home on Saturdays and Sundays, so there were not many students in the school. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Mo Cheng took the two of them through the ssroom, the field, the library, the cafeteria, the dormitory, and other ces. Perhaps Mo Cheng had guessed his sister¡¯s thoughts, so he took the two of them around the campus in great detail. What surprised Mo Yan was that when the three of them passed by, there were students who took the initiative to greet Mo Cheng and invite him to y basketball, and Mo Cheng responded to them with a smile. That was very different from the situation Mo Yan had seen the previous two times. This time, she suddenly came to see Mo Cheng and did not give him time to prepare. It suggested he had really relied on his own strength to change the situation bit by bit. Chapter 205 - A Bet Chapter 205 - A Bet Mo Yan suddenly had the urge to cry. Her little brother had already grown up without her knowing. Luo Tao went forward to hold Mo Yan¡¯s hand andforted her softly, ¡°Why are your eyes still red? Mo Cheng¡¯s life is getting better. Aren¡¯t you happy? ¡± ¡°I¡¯m happy. It¡¯s because of happiness that my eyes are red. ¡± In order not to let her tears fall, Mo Yan tried her best to rub her eyes, but Luo Tao hugged her tightly. ¡°Mo Cheng has grown up. In the future, you don¡¯t need to support your family alone. Learn to rely on others more. ¡± ¡°Okay. ¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was nasal. Mo Cheng looked at the two people who were stuck together and sighed. Did they not know when and where to show their affection? He was still single! At that moment, a rough shout came from the basketball court. ¡°Hey! Mo Cheng, let¡¯s have a bet! ¡± Mo Yan poked her head out from Luo Tao¡¯s arms and looked at the person who spoke. That person was big and round, with triangr eyes on his square face. He looked displeasing. No matter how she looked at him, simr to his appearance, he did not look like a good person. ¡°Mo Cheng, I dare you to bet on next month¡¯s living expenses. ¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. In the face of the boy¡¯s provocation, Mo Cheng did not want to pay attention to him. He pulled Mo Yan and was ready to leave, but he did not expect that person to speak again. ¡°Mo Cheng, is that your sister next to you? She¡¯s pretty! ¡°As he said that, the boy flirtatiously whistled at Mo Yan. This time, it was not only Mo Cheng, but Luo Tao also could not hold it in any longer, and his knuckles were cracking. ¡°Mo Cheng, if you don¡¯t dare, ask your sister toe over and apany us. It¡¯ll only be for one afternoon. After she apanies us, we¡¯ll let you guys go. How about that? ¡± The boy kept provoking Mo Yan. Not to mention the two men who had always been protecting Mo Yan, Mo Yan herself had the urge to give him a good thrashing. ¡°If I lose, I¡¯ll give you living expenses. Then what will you give me if you lose? ¡± Mo Cheng asked calmly. ¡°Me, lose? How is that possible? ¡± the boy said arrogantly. Mo Cheng ignored him and pulled Mo Yan to leave. ¡°Wait! If I lose, I won¡¯t collect money from students in the future. Haven¡¯t you always wanted me to stop? ¡± After the boy finished speaking, Mo Cheng became silent for a moment, then stated, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll bet. ¡± ¡°Oh right! I¡¯ll add another condition. If I win, let your sister apany me for the whole afternoon. ¡± ¡°F*ck, you money collector of a bully! ¡± After the boy finished speaking, Mo Cheng, who had always been gentle, outrightly cursed. Meanwhile, Luo Tao turned his wrist, his eyes revealing a dense killing intent. ¡°The bet is on. ¡± To everyone¡¯s surprise, Mo Yan actually opened her mouth. The boy actuallyughed when he heard Mo Yan¡¯s reply. ¡°Beautiful girls are more straightforward. ¡± Mo Cheng frowned in disagreement, while Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan and did not say anything. After the three of them entered the field, Mo Yan finally understood why the boy was so confident. His four other friends were of simr build. They belonged to the big-boned type. On the other hand, for Mo Cheng¡¯s team, although they were not short, they were all thin. The game was not easy to y! Mo Yan was calcting in her heart when she saw Luo Tao walk over and kiss her on the forehead. ¡°You have to cheer for your husband. ¡± Mo Yan was so embarrassed by his actions that her face turned red. She nodded and agreed. The two of them spoke very quietly. Only they knew of their conversation. When Luo Tao returned to the court, Mo Cheng bounced the basketball twice. He looked at Mo Yan in the audience and then looked at Luo Tao. ¡°Can we win? ¡± Although his original intention in making the bet was good, it ended up involving his sister. But since his sister herself had agreed to it, he had no other way out. ¡°Why do you think we can¡¯t win? ¡± Luo Tao asked lightly. Mo Cheng scratched his hair and held back for a long time before saying, ¡°They are very strong. ¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t win in a hard fight, use your smarts. If you don¡¯t have the smarts, learn skills. If you don¡¯t have anything and yet act impulsively, then you are harming others and yourself. ¡± Mo Cheng always felt that his brother-inw was insinuating and mocking him, but he had no evidence! Moreover, he never wanted to include his sister in the bet. In the audience stand, Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were bright as she stared at Luo Tao. She did not know why, but when she saw Luo Tao¡¯s smile, Mo Yan did not feel afraid. Perhaps she had confidence in her heart, knowing that no matter if he won or lost the game, Luo Tao would protect her. Chapter 206 - Get Into Action Chapter 206 - Get Into Action When the game started, the opposing team showed their intention to use brute force; Mo Cheng¡¯s team member was ¡°touched¡± by the strong boys. As it was only a spur-of-the-moment idea, there was no official referee. After the opponent used extraordinary means to score two goals in a row, Luo Tao¡¯s facepletely darkened. Mo Yan nervously stared in the direction of the ying field. She did not know basketball, only having watched a few games in school and apanied her friends to watch the handsome guys. Although she didn¡¯t know anything about basketball, she could feel the atmosphere on the court. It was simply intense. Mo Yan held her breath. Suddenly, she saw a strong man raise his elbow, ready to head toward Luo Tao, who was dribbling the ball. After Luo Tao passed the ball to Mo Cheng, Mo Cheng ran out of the three-point line, turned around, and jumped. The ball steadily fell into the hoop, and a wave of apuse rang out. At the same time, a discordant scream caused the match to temporarilye to a halt. Everyone present turned their gazes to the wailing boy. They saw the boy hugging his elbow and rolling on the ground in pain. ¡°Ah! My arm hurts so much. I think it¡¯s broken. ¡± Luo Tao stood coldly to the side and listened to his wailing. The boy who started the fight saw that hispanion¡¯s injuries were not light, so he hurriedly instructed the others to send the injured boy to the infirmary. He himself stayed behind and red fiercely at Luo Tao. ¡°Rascal, did you do it on purpose? ¡± Although it was a question, the tall and strong boy was already certain that it was Luo Tao who had done it. Luo Tao raised his eyebrows indifferently, looking as if it had nothing to do with him. When he met Mo Yan¡¯s worried gaze, he still had it in him to smile at her. Mo Cheng walked to Luo Tao¡¯s side and said, ¡°You know clearly who¡¯s the one who yed dirty. ¡± Seeing that the two sides were at loggerheads, Mo Yan could not sit still anymore. She ran all the way to Luo Tao¡¯s side and looked at him worriedly. Afraid of the notorious school bully, even when the others saw him and his friends use brutal methods to score two goals, no one dared to say it out loud. Unexpectedly, Mo Cheng said it out loud. His voice was not soft, and almost everyone around the stadium heard it. He did not give the bully any face at all. Feeling the gazes from all around him, the bully¡¯s entire face flushed red. He shouted loudly, ¡°Who are you talking about, brat! ¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Mo Cheng revealed a mocking expression and answered straightforwardly, ¡°I¡¯m talking about you. Weren¡¯t my two ssmates forced to leave the field earlier because you guys were violent? ¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± The bully panted heavily as he raised his big fist and threw it at Mo Cheng¡¯s face. Mo Cheng barely avoided it, but he almost bumped into Mo Yan behind him. ¡°Attacking when you can¡¯t win is really your style. ¡± Hearing her younger brother¡¯s incessant taunting, Mo Yan¡¯s heart pounded wildly. What was wrong with him today? No matter how she looked at it, the current situation was disadvantageous to them! Just as Mo Yan¡¯s thoughts were running wild, another boy opposite them suddenly attacked Luo Tao, landing a heavy punch on Luo Tao¡¯s arm. Seeing another boying up to hit Mo Cheng, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t care about anything else and pulled Mo Cheng over. The inertia caused Mo Yan to meet the other party¡¯s fist uncontrobly. ¡°Mo Yan! ¡± Mo Cheng shouted loudly. That boy used 100% of his strength in that punch. The sharp pain from her shoulder instantly made Mo Yan break out in cold sweat. ¡°Mo Yan! ¡± Luo Tao turned around and ran over, his eyes filled with anxiety. ¡°How are you? ¡± At that moment, Mo Yan was in so much pain that she couldn¡¯t speak, but in order not to make Luo Tao worry, she still shook her head. Previously, Luo Tao was still able to tease those students with a yful attitude. However, after Mo Yan was injured, the nature of the matter hadpletely changed. The other party long had their rationality clouded. Mo Yan¡¯s injury didn¡¯t stop them at all. When Mo Cheng and Luo Tao were checking Mo Yan¡¯s injuries, they were also beaten up by each of them. Mo Cheng asked a female student to help him call the ambnce while he continued to face the other party¡¯s attacks. However, just as the situation was getting nerve-wracking, a figure suddenly shed in front of Mo Cheng and kicked the person opposite him to the ground, causing that person to wai and be unable to get up. Following that, everyone saw Luo Tao knock down the over 1.8 meter-tall strong and robust male students one by one. The school teacher came just after Luo Tao had knocked the other party out. Because the troublemakers were all lying on the ground, the disciplinary teacher had no choice but to have everyone go to the hospital first. They would be dealt with after they had recovered from their injuries. Chapter 207 - Way Not to Be Discovered Chapter 207 - Way Not to Be Discovered ording to the doctor¡¯s diagnosis, Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder de was slightly fractured. Although it was not at the stage of surgery, it still needed to be fixed. Presently, Mo Yan had already been given painkillers and felt much better. Mo Yan was just d that she only had a slight injury and that it was her left shoulder. She did not need to be hospitalized and could still work normally. The few people who had hit her were also sent to the hospital. Luo Tao didn¡¯t injure them too heavily. He hit them on the flesh, so although it hurt, the injury wasn¡¯t serious. There were only Mo Yan and Mo Cheng in the ward at the moment as Luo Tao had gone to get Mo Yan¡¯s medicine and deal with the follow-up matters. Mo Cheng sat beside Mo Yan, his eyes red. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have bet with them. ¡± Mo Yan rubbed his head andforted him. Mo Cheng had been bullied before, so he naturally wanted to protect his ssmates who had also been bullied. It was understandable that Mo Cheng would agree to the bully¡¯s condition. ¡°What happened today was just an ident. I¡¯m happy to see that you¡¯ve changed so much. I don¡¯t have to worry about you being bullied all the time. ¡± Mo Cheng¡¯s eyes became redder. In fact, he had been beaten up twice on purpose. Only by letting the bully and his friends hit him first could his attacks be considered self-defense. However, he didn¡¯t expect that Mo Yan would take a punch on his behalf, and it was so serious. ¡°All right, it was just an ident. Don¡¯t cry anymore. ¡± Mo Yan ruffled Mo Cheng¡¯s messy hair. Before she knew it, Mo Cheng was already a little taller than her. Seeing that Mo Cheng was still silent, Mo Yan said, ¡°About the fight this time, you can ask the teacher later on how to deal with it. ¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Okay, ¡± Mo Cheng lowered his head and grunted. A momentter, Luo Tao returned with the medicine. When he saw the support that Mo Yan had fixed on her shoulder, his eyes shed heartache. ¡°How is it? Does it still hurt? ¡± Luo Tao gently ced his hand on the support and asked in a low voice. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore. ¡± The pain-relieving needling treatment had a good effect. Mo Yan was much betterpared to before. She smiled at Luo Tao and asked, ¡°Did you visit those students? How are they? ¡± Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were gloomy as he mentioned, ¡°They¡¯re fine. I¡¯ll be more careful next time when getting into action. ¡± Seeing that Luo Tao¡¯s expression was not good, Mo Yan sighed and grabbed him with her right hand. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. Don¡¯t be angry. ¡± Compared to being angry at Mo Yan, Luo Tao was more angry at himself for not being able to protect the person he liked. Seeing that Mo Yan was looking at him eagerly, Luo Tao sighed and changed the topic to Mo Cheng. ¡°Were those the people who extorted you previously? ¡± ¡°Yes, there are two more. But something happened at home recently and they didn¡¯te to school. ¡± Mo Cheng raised his head and spoke. His gaze once again fell on Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder. Being stared at from both sides by the two, Mo Yan only wanted to sigh. Just as the two of them were talking, Mo Yan¡¯s phone rang. It was Xu Wan. She had sent a message to ask if Mo Yan wanted to go to the night market that night. Mo Yan smiled bitterly and told Xu Wan what had happened earlier. It could be considered a sudden disaster. Xu Wan typed: ¡°Slightly fractured shoulder de? Mo Yan, you¡¯re amazing. You can even injure yourself by going to school. Which hospital are you in now? ¡± Mo Yan thought about it and sent the name of the hospital to Xu Wan. She really could not bear the guilt in Luo Tao and Mo Cheng¡¯s eyes. If Xu Wan came, she could still ease the atmosphere. ¡°Mo Yan, I¡¯m going out with Luo Tao for a while. ¡± Mo Yan was still replying to Xu Wan¡¯s text message when she heard Mo Cheng say that. She nodded subconsciously. It was not until the two of them left that Mo Yan realized that the two of them wanted to talk alone. What could not be said in front of her? In the corridor of the hospital, the two men were silent, and none of them spoke first. After a moment of stalemate, Mo Cheng asked in a low voice, ¡°What did those people say? ¡± ¡°They asked forpensation and said that they would not let you off in school in the future, ¡± Luo Tao replied. After that, he sneered. Mo Cheng frowned. ¡°Luo Tao, is there any way to silence them without being discovered? ¡± Luo Tao did not expect Mo Cheng to say such ruthless words the moment he opened his mouth. However, when he thought of Mo Yan, he understood Mo Cheng¡¯s intentions. At that time, when he saw that Mo Yan was injured, he also wanted to be ruthless. There were many ways to end a person without being discovered, but he could not tell Mo Cheng. ¡°I¡¯ll handle this matter. You just need to take care of yourself at school. Don¡¯t let your sister worry. ¡± Chapter 208 - Mo Chengs change Chapter 208 - Mo Cheng''s change Not long after, Xu Wan arrived at the hospital with a bunch of things for Mo Yan. Because Luo Tao wanted Mo Yan to stay overnight for observation, Xu Wan directly brought dinner for Mo Yan. ¡°How are you feeling? ¡± Xu Wan put the things on the cab by the window and asked. ¡°I¡¯m okay. It¡¯s not too serious. It¡¯s just a slight fracture. I¡¯ll be fine after two weeks of rest. ¡± ¡°Sigh! You¡¯re really amazing. With just two days off, you managed to get yourself into hospital. ¡± Xu Wan took out a serving of nutritious soup from the bag. The moment the lid was opened, the fragrance instantly filled the entire ward. Mo Yan¡¯s stomach began to growl uncontrobly. ¡°I¡¯ve asked around before I came. If you have a bone fracture, you need to eat more food with high cogen content. Here, this soup¡¯s from your favorite restaurant. ¡± Mo Yan drooled and looked at Xu Wan eagerly with puppy eyes. ¡°My dear Wanwan, you¡¯re too good to me. If I wasn¡¯t married, I would have married you. ¡± Xu Wan clicked her tongue and mocked, ¡°You change sides too easily! Luo Tao would cry if he heard that! ¡± Hearing Xu Wan¡¯s words, Mo Yan thought of Luo Tao¡¯s slightly red eyes when she was injured. Ah! If she betrayed him, he might really cry! Mo Yan could not help butugh secretly. ¡°What are you thinking about! Why are you smiling so slyly? ¡± Xu Wan looked at Mo Yan¡¯s greasy smile and got goosebumps on her body. ¡°I¡¯m not! ¡± Mo Yan retorted. ¡°Where are Luo Tao and Mo Cheng? Why don¡¯t I see them? You¡¯re already like this. Why aren¡¯t they guarding you and taking care of you? ¡± ¡°They went out just now because they had something to do, but it was just nice. You don¡¯t know how hard they were staring at me with those guilt-filled eyes. They stared at me until I felt like I was going to die. ¡± Mo Yan¡¯s exaggerated expression mercilessly ridiculed the two men, causing Xu Wan to burst intoughter. ¡°Oh right, you said your younger brother got into a fight. Is that true? ¡± Xu Wan¡¯s face was filled with curiosity. She had some understanding of the situation in Mo Yan¡¯s family. Her impression of Mo Cheng was still of a young man who did not like to talk and always had his head lowered. How could such a boy know how to fight? Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°Yeah! When they yed basketball, the other side kept ying dirty. In the end, they just started fighting. ¡± Although fighting was not good, Mo Yan still had a trace of pride when she mentioned Mo Cheng¡¯s fight. Her younger brother did not only fight for her, but also for the other students who were bullied. ¡°The school bully provoked me, saying that if Cheng yed a basketball match with him, he would not bully students anymore. You know how Cheng was also bullied before. ¡± Hearing that, Xu Wan felt a little emotional, but she was more curious about what made Mo Cheng change so much. ¡°Mo Yan, your brother has changed a lot! What happened? Does he have a girlfriend? ¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s just that when Cheng was bullied by the school, Luo Tao seemed to have said something to him. Then, when I came to see him today, I felt that he had changed a lot. And you know what? When I was at school today, I saw many of Cheng¡¯s ssmates greeting him. ¡± Xu Wan widened her eyes in surprise. It seemed that Mo Cheng had indeed grown. ¡°Luo Tao is so amazing. He was able to knock sense into Mo Cheng just by talking to him? What did they talk about? Tell me. ¡± Mo Yan shrugged. ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. They didn¡¯t tell me. But I realized that ever since I married Luo Tao, everything seemed to start developing in a good direction. ¡± Xu Wan choked at her cringe words, giving her a hard knock on the head. ¡°Enough! Stop showing off your love. Don¡¯t you know I¡¯m still single? ¡± Mo Yan made a face at Xu Wan. ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, you can find one. ¡± Xu Wan rolled her eyes at her and asked, ¡°Can you still go to work on Mondays like this? I heard that your sales department has epted a new project. If you rest for two weeks, will it affect the project? ¡± Mo Yan waved her hand. ¡°It¡¯s not that serious. I¡¯ll go to work on Monday as per usual. The injury is on my left shoulder, so it won¡¯t affect my work. Also, as long as I don¡¯t move my shoulder too much, there won¡¯t be any major problems. ¡± Seeing that Mo Yan was so sure, Xu Wan didn¡¯t say anything more. Then, Xu Wan told Mo Yan about the gossip concerning Chen Ya. She heard that after Chen Ya was fired, she had a fight with Zhou Shuai, and the two of them broke up. Chapter 209 - Meeting an Acquaintance Chapter 209 - Meeting an Acquaintance The best way to relieve the pain was to have her attention diverted. Mo Yan listened to the gossip while enjoying the nutritious soup that Xu Wan brought. Hearing that Chen Ya was not doing well, Mo Yan was inadvertently happy from the bottom of her heart, since Chen Ya had set her up too many times and harmed her so many times. Now that she was in that state, Mo Yan could onlyment that evil would be rewarded with evil, and therefore, it was better to be kind. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Mo Yan shouted toe in and saw Luo Tao and Mo Cheng walking in with a doctor behind them. Seeing the person, Mo Yan shouted in surprise, ¡°Cheng Xiao? ¡± ¡°Mo Yan, long time no see, ¡± Cheng Xiao replied with a smile. ¡°Do you work here? ¡± Mo Yan asked in surprise. ¡°Yes. I just met Ah Luo downstairs and found out that you are also in the hospital. ¡± Luo Tao was just about to put the things in the cab when he saw a pile of things there, so he had to silently withdraw his hand and choose a different spot. ¡°I heard Ah Luo say that you have a scapr fracture. During this period of time, you need to eat more food with high protein and cogen content, and you can also eat food with high calcium content. Don¡¯t often move the wounded area, ande to the hospital for a regr check-up. ¡± ¡°Okay! ¡± Mo Yan nodded. After saying that, Cheng Xiao looked at Luo Tao, who was peeling fruits for Mo Yan, and said with a smile, ¡°Previously, I was worried about how you and Mo Yan were doing. I wanted to contact you guys, but I found that I didn¡¯t give my phone number. Now, seeing you guys like this, I feel much more relieved. ¡± ¡°I still have to thank you for helping me find such a good husband! ¡± Mo Yan said to Cheng Xiao mischievously. After saying that, she sneaked a nce at Luo Tao, only to see the tip of Luo Tao¡¯s ears turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye. When Cheng Xiao spoke, Xu Wan felt something amiss. It was not until Mo Yan finished speaking that she realized who the doctor was. Thus, when the two of them were talking, Xu Wan interjected, ¡°Mo Yan, this is? ¡± ¡°Ah! I forgot to introduce him! Wanwan, this is the matchmaker of Luo Tao and me. His name is Cheng Xiao. Without him, Luo Tao and I might not even have gotten to know each other! ¡± Xu Wan thought to herself, ¡°As expected. ¡± ¡°Cheng Xiao, this is my best friend, Xu Wan. ¡± ¡°Hello. ¡± Xu Wan was the first to extend her hand. ¡°Yes, hello. ¡± Cheng Xiao politely shook her hand. After that, Cheng Xiao told Mo Yan a lot of things to take note of before leaving the ward. Xu Wan also said that she would leave first after Cheng Xiao left. N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content. Because the two of them left one after the other, Xu Wan caught up with the person in front after a few steps. ¡°Dr. Cheng, I have something to say to you. Can we talk in private? ¡± Xu Wan looked at the person in front of her with a smile. Cheng Xiao didn¡¯t know what she wanted to say to him, but he still nodded and agreed. ¡°Ms. Xu, what¡¯s the matter? ¡± ¡°I hope you will not casually matchmake people in the future. ¡± Void of the previous courtesy, Xu Wan went straight to the point. ¡°Ms. Xu, what do you mean by that? ¡°Cheng Xiao frowned. ¡°I would like to ask, when you proposed the marriage between the two¡¯s families, did you have a good understanding of each party and their family backgrounds? ¡± ¡°Of course. I have been in contact with Ah Luo for a period of time. Although his family background is not good, he is a righteous and steadfast person. That¡¯s why I mentioned the marriage between the two families. ¡± Cheng Xiao felt that Xu Wan was Mo Yan¡¯s friend, so she was biased toward Mo Yan. It was definitely unfair for Mo Yan to talk to him. Xu Wan curled her red lips, and a trace of mockery shed in her eyes. ¡°Since Luo Tao is so good in your eyes, then why didn¡¯t you check out the female party before mentioning a marriage between the two? ¡± Xu Wan¡¯s words were not false. The Mo family was supposed to marry off Mo Lian. If Mo Lian and Luo Tao were together, who knew what kind of life they would have? Cheng Xiao frowned and did not answer. Xu Wan continued, ¡°If the woman was a haughty and arrogant youngdy, would you still think it is a good match, what with different family backgrounds and views? Would you think that Luo Tao will be a live-in son-inw or that the woman would lower her standards to match him? ¡± Xu Wan¡¯s words were like the tip of a needle, poking Cheng Xiao¡¯s heart and making his face pale. He really did not think too much at that time. He only thought that since the older generation had made a marriage agreement, then it should be fulfilled. But if it was really as Xu Wan said, wouldn¡¯t he have harmed Luo Tao? Chapter 210 - Marriage Is a Serious Matter Chapter 210 - Marriage Is a Serious Matter Xu Wan was very smart in phrasing her words. She did not use Cheng Xiao of publicizing the marriage between the two¡¯s families without knowing anything and causing Mo Yan to marry a notorious gangster. Instead, she used Mo Lian as an example and exined the problems that the two of them might have encountered after getting married. Firstly, as Mo Yan¡¯s good friend, she was dissatisfied with Mo Yan marrying a gangster. Secondly, she did not want Cheng Xiao to do bad things with good intentions in the future. After all, from the conversation between Mo Yan and Cheng Xiao just now, Cheng Xiao seemed like a good person. ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry. ¡± Cheng Xiao stood on the spot listlessly. Xu Wan saw that Cheng Xiao listened to her words, and her tone was no longer harsh. She patted Cheng Xiao¡¯s shoulder. Cheng Xiao looked at her in confusion. ¡°Fortunately, you got the right girl this time. Whether it¡¯s Mo Yan or Luo Tao, both of them are living a happy life. You can be considered to have caused a good marriage by ident. ¡± Cheng Xiao looked up. The woman¡¯s bright and generous smile was reflected in his eyes, and he was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he finally said, ¡°Mhm. ¡± ¡°Have you been lectured speechless? ¡± Xu Wan raised her eyebrows and looked into Cheng Xiao¡¯s eyes. Cheng Xiao was startled by her sudden advancement, and he hurriedly took two steps back. ¡°Okay! Dr. Cheng, I have finished my words, so I¡¯ll leave first. In the future, remember to learn more about the situation when you matchmake someone! ¡± Xu Wan left after she finished speaking, leaving Cheng Xiao standing in the same spot for a long time, unable to regain his senses. ¡­ Because of her injury, Mo Yan could only cancel her n to visit her mother. She obediently stayed at home and called her mother to ask about the recent situation. From her mother¡¯s voice, her condition was pretty good. Thus, Mo Yan briefly recounted her and Mo Cheng¡¯s lives. Of course, she could not mention the matter of hitting someone. She only said that Mo Cheng was much happier than before, and that she had gone to visit Mo Cheng at his school. She did not end the call until Luo Tao asked her to eat. Looking at the table full of takeout food, Mo Yan felt her heart bleeding. She had to recuperate for one to two months. Although they had more money now, they should not eat so extravagantly. Mo Yan was crying in her heart as she scooped arge spoonful of tofu topped with crab roe into her mouth. ¡­? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. The next day, Mo Yan walked into the office under the expected watchful eyes of the crowd. ¡°Mo Yan, what happened to you? ¡± Li Guoguo asked with concern. ¡°Nothing, I just identally got hurt when I went out on Saturday. ¡± ¡°How is it? Is it serious? ¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. ¡± Seeing that it was time to go to work, Mo Yan urged Li Guoguo to go back to her work station. Although Chen Ya had left, she could not rx. With her ease of attracting trouble, who knew when something might go wrong. Unknowingly, Mo Yan had gotten used to that trait of hers. The only thing she wanted now was to live a peaceful life with Luo Tao and not encounter any troubles. Just as Mo Yan was preparing to work, Xu Tian suddenly called out to her. ¡°Sister Xu, is there something you need? ¡± ¡°Yes, follow me upstairs for a meeting. ¡± Mo Yan blinked her eyes and saw that everyone else was looking at her. She couldn¡¯t ask any more questions, so she stood up and left with Xu Tian. After leaving, Mo Yan asked, ¡°Sister Xu, what kind of meeting are you having? ¡± ¡°Thepany has recently epted a project and needs a meeting with the supervisor of the sales department. ¡± ¡°A meeting with the supervisor? Then I¡­ ¡± Mo Yan was a little hesitant. ¡°After Chen Ya left, the position of supervisor of Team A became temporarily vacant. CEO Song has said that you would be in charge of it first. ¡± Mo Yan suddenly understood. Previously, she had agreed with CEO Song that if she won the Jing City project, she would be able to be her assistant. However, due to various reasons, she had lost the opportunity that time. Now that Chen Ya had been fired, the supervisor position in Team A could very well be filled by her. Mo Yan¡¯s eyes lit up. The sry of a supervisor and an ordinary employee was not on the same level. The day before, she was still worrying about how to earn more money, but presently, she was given such good news. Xu Tian nced at Mo Yan, who was obviously over-excited, and her lips curled into a faint smile. Mo Yan¡¯s ability to work was obvious to everyone. When Xu Tian heard the news of Chen Ya being fired, she wondered if the sessor would be Mo Yan. That morning, CEO Song called her to her office, she asked her about how she felt working with Mo Yan and Mo Yan¡¯s attitude toward work. After receiving her answer, CEO Song asked her to bring Mo Yan along for the project meeting that day. Chapter 211 - : Enemies Meeting Chapter 211 - : Enemies Meeting At that time, there were already three people in the conference room. They were the director of the sales department, the supervisor of Team B, and the supervisor of Team D. The three of them were discussing something. When they saw Xu Tian and Mo Yan enter the room, they greeted them in a friendly manner. The supervisor of Group B was a very cute girl. She was lively and talkative. Meanwhile, the supervisor of Team D was fat and looked simple and honest. When the supervisor of Team B spoke, the supervisor of Team D only smiled and did not say much. As soon as Xu Tian and Mo Yan sat down, the supervisor of Team B asked, ¡°Have you heard about Lotus Real Estate, thepany involved in this project? ¡± Seeing that Xu Tian and the supervisor of Team D didn¡¯t say anything, Mo Yan could only reply, ¡°I don¡¯t know. ¡± ¡°Eh? Let me tell you! I heard that Lotus Real Estate wants to talk about the outsourcing of sales. Their company¡¯s main business is development, so they want to talk about long-term outsourcing. Today, we¡¯re mainly here to hear about their situation in detail, thene up with a n for them. ¡± ¡°I see! ¡± Mo Yan nodded. ¡°I wonder who will exin today. It would be great if it was a handsome guy. To be able to work with a handsome guy for a long period of time, just thinking about it makes me happy. ¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Mo Yan¡¯s forehead twitched slightly. Why would she think of a handsome guy when it was clearly a project meeting? Just as Mo Yan was quietlyining, the door of the conference room was pushed open. A person who looked like an assistant came in and stood by the door. Then, the sound of high heels could be heard. A woman wearing a blue dress appeared. The moment Mo Yan saw the woman, her eyes widened, and her pupils constricted violently. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Mo Lian, the general manager of Lotus Real Estate. ¡± The director quickly stood up and shook hands with Mo Yao. ¡°Hello, Ms. Mo. I¡¯m Wang Wen, the sales director of Hong Jing. ¡± After saying that, she introduced the other people to Mo Lian. When she introduced Mo Yan, Mo Lian spoke first. ¡°Sister, long time no see. ¡± Hearing Mo Lian¡¯s words, the heads of Teams B and D respectively instantly shifted their attention to Mo Yan. Xu Tian was not surprised since she already knew about it. Mo Yan had already regained herposure and said calmly, ¡°Long time no see. ¡± The director knew about the project ahead of the supervisors, so when she saw that the general manager of Lotus Real Estate was called Mo Lian, she went to investigate. Only after doing so did she learn that Lotus Real Estate was a branch of Mo Real Estate and a little about the rtionship between Mo Yan and Mo Lian. In order to not make the atmosphere awkward, the director said, ¡°Ms. Mo, it¡¯s our honor to be chosen among the manypanies. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m also very happy to be able to work with Hong Jing. Actually, my father hopes that I can have a happy cooperation with Hong Jing. He said that Mo Real Estate would eventually be handed over to me, and he hoped that I could find a reliable and stable partner. ¡± Mo Lian¡¯s words were straightforward. She directly revealed her identity and released the attractive offer of a long-term partnership with Mo Real Estate. Simply put, she meant that if they wanted to work with Mo Real Estate, they should hurry and tter her! Mo Yan sneered in her heart. Mo Lian had really improved a lot. Just a few words from her made the eyes of the director and the two supervisors light up! If she could be recognized as a long-term partner by anotherpany, not only would her sry experience a leap, but her status in thepany would also be different. It was even possible for her to be promoted to a senior executive in thepany. Another point was that Mo Lian had directly expressed the conflict between her and herself. By expressing that Mo Dong had said to hand thepany over to her, Mo Lian effectively hinted that Mo Yan would not receive any share of it. Although Mo Yan did not care about it, one could imagine how big her and her father¡¯s conflict was judging from how little he would leave her with. If those who wanted to curry favor with Mo Lian understood that, they would do so by hindering Mo Yan at work. Once Mo Yan knew that the project had nothing to do with her and that there would even be trouble if she got involved, she no longer cared about what Mo Lian said. She did not want Mo Lian to target her again. ¡°I heard my friend say that previously, when he wanted to buy a house, he met my sister. He even said that my sister¡¯s sales ability was very strong. I think this time, my sister will also provide me with a good sales n! ¡± Chapter 212 - Worlds Apart Chapter 212 - Worlds Apart Mo Yan could hear the mockery in Mo Lian¡¯s words. As half-sisters, one was hired to work while the other worked for others. Their statuses were really different. However, after experiencing so many things, Mo Yan had long been unconcerned about these small matters. She smiled and said, ¡°Then I have to thank your friend for hispliment. It is prideworthy to rely on one¡¯s own hard work to obtain results and recognition. ¡± She would never take Mo Lian up on her offer. Mo Lian was not prepared to give her the proposal to begin with, but she still tried to put her in a tight spot. Only a fool would take her up on the offer. Mo Lian¡¯s eyes were burning when she saw Mo Yan¡¯s beaming face. Mo Yan talking about relying on her own hard work indirectly meant that Mo Lian only knew to borrow the power of her family. ¡°That¡¯s right. Your work is simple, so it¡¯s easy for you to do it, unlike me. I still have to manage the company¡¯s matters in the future. I have a lot of things to worry about. ¡± Mo Yan raised her eyebrows. She had really overestimated Mo Lian. Her words had utterly offended everyone in the room. Other than her, which one of those in the room did not work for others? Other than the director, everyone else¡¯s work content was simr, and their hard work was simply written off as for something simple. As expected, the director spoke. ¡°Ms. Mo Lian, we haven¡¯t started on today¡¯s agenda. Why don¡¯t we start now? ¡± Mo Lian wanted to continue humiliating Mo Yan, but she was interrupted by the director¡¯s words. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. She looked at the amiable director and felt like she had nowhere to vent her anger. Finally, she remembered her father¡¯s instructions before she came and unwillingly introduced the project outline. Although Mo Yan knew that the project had nothing to do with her, she still recorded some ideas for the project. No matter what kind of project it was, it had its advantages. If she did not participate in the project, she could umte ideas for other projects in the future. The meeting hadsted for nearly two hours. Mo Lian only walked to the screen at the beginning of the presentation and talked about the scale of the Mo family¡¯spany and the projects it had developed. In general, she was bragging about how big her family¡¯spany was. The main task of exining the specific parts of the project was left to the assistant while Mo Lian yed with her phone at the side. Halfway through the exnation, there was a small incident. At that time, Mo Yan was taking notes when Mo Lian suddenly knocked on the table to stop the exnation. Everyone could not help but look at her. Mo Lian smiled and said, ¡°Everyone must be tired after such a long meeting. Why don¡¯t we have some tea and rest for a while? ¡± Hearing what Mo Lian said, the director was about to ask the assistant to bring two pots of tea in but was stopped by Mo Lian. ¡°No need to trouble others. Actually, I heard that before my sister came to Hong Jing, she worked as a waitress in a tea shop. I think her skills of making tea must be pretty good! Why don¡¯t you make some for us today? ¡± As soon as Mo Lian said that, the others focused their attention on Mo Yan. The trio had seen Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder with the support in ce. They just never asked about it because they were not very familiar with Mo Yan. Mo Lian actually asked Mo Yan, who had an injured shoulder, to make tea? What was she thinking? The atmosphere was strangely tense for a moment. Xu Tian nced at Mo Lian and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go make the tea. ¡± ¡°Supervisor Xu, how can I trouble you with such a small matter! It¡¯s better for my sister to make tea, isn¡¯t it? ¡± Mo Lian only wanted to cause trouble for Mo Yan,pletely ignoring what the others thought. Mo Yan inwardlyughed out of anger at Mo Lian¡¯s unreasonable provocation. The twopanies were there to discuss a cooperation. What was the meaning of looking down on others like that? Couldn¡¯t she see that the director¡¯s expression was a little bad? Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, Mo Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, ¡°All right! Everyone should drink some tea to refresh themselves after such a long meeting. Why don¡¯t I help everyone brew a pot of ck tea I got recently? ¡± As soon as Mo Yan said that, the director nced at Mo Yan, but she did not say anything. Meanwhile, Xu Tian looked at Mo Yan with a hint of a smile in her eyes. ¡°That tea¡­ ¡± Just as the supervisor of Team B frowned and was about to speak, the supervisor of Group D nudged her arm. It was unknown whether it was Chapter 213 - Bitter Black Tea Chapter 213 - Bitter ck Tea Mo Lian¡¯s attitude as if she was instructing servants made everyone present frown. Mo Yan smiled as she went out. The director also sent a message to her assistant asking him to help Mo Yan with making the tea. Although she could only move her right hand, Mo Yan was skilled in making tea. With the help of the director¡¯s assistant, Mo Yan quickly brewed the tea and was apanied back to the office by the assistant. She then served the tea to everyone. The fragrance of the ck tea was rich, and its color was clear. Just smelling it was a form of enjoyment. As Mo Lian saw that Mo Yan had brewed the tea so quickly, her expression became a little unfriendly. She immediately red at the director¡¯s assistant, who pretended not to see her and left the office after helping to serve the tea. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve brewed tea. My skills are a little rusty. Everyone, please have a taste. ¡± The director and Xu Tian picked up their cups and started drinking. The supervisor of Team B nced at the supervisor of Team D and helplessly picked up the teacup as well. Mo Lian saw that everyone else had drunk the tea. Although she was dissatisfied that Mo Yan had sessfully brewed the tea, she had no choice but to pick up the teacup and take a sip because she was a guest in Hong Jing. Cough! Cough Cough! Suddenly, a violent cough sounded. Mo Lian covered her mouth with a tissue and red at Mo Yan. ¡°Mo Yan! What did you give me to drink? ! Why is it so bitter? ¡± Mo Yan raised her eyebrows and smiled, ¡°This ck tea¡¯s leaves are plump and thick. The brewed tea is slightly acidic-tasting and bitter, helping to invigorate oneself. It also helps in detoxification and has a sweet aftertaste. ¡± ¡°Did you say that this is slightly bitter and acidic-tasting? ¡± Mo Lian¡¯s sharp voice was unpleasant. ¡°Indeed! ¡± After saying that, as if afraid that Mo Lian would not believe it, Mo Yan took a sip. Mo Lian stared at Mo Yan, whose expression did not change, and frowned. Suddenly, a suspicion arose in her heart. ¡°Mo Yan! Did you add something to my tea? Otherwise, it would not be so bitter! ¡± Mo Yan smiled and replied, ¡°How is that possible? Ms. Mo Lian, you are a big client of ourpany. Why would I do such a thing? ¡± Other than the two who were at loggerheads, the others were carefully studying the tea, as if they had not heard anything. At the end of the day, both of them were surnamed Mo, and they were both Mo Dong¡¯s children. Any conflict between them was their family¡¯s internal business and wouldn¡¯t affect the cooperation. However, if they brought their personal grudges to the cooperation between thepanies, then that kind of partnership would need to be considered more carefully. In the business world, there were many projects that flopped due to bringing personal feelings into the work. The purpose of cooperation was to make profits. If it didn¡¯t make profits in the end, it would be better to put an end to that possibility before the cooperation. However, a few executives from Hong Jing presently had some understanding of the Mo Lian¡¯s arrogance and despotism. The cooperation being based on equality and mutual benefit aside, that the two families were cooperating under the conditions of mutual and equal benefit aside, for starters, it was not wise to start a fight just like that when it was one¡¯s first time going to anotherpany. Looking at Mo Yan¡¯s smiling face, Mo Lian felt like she could not take it anymore. She wanted to grab Mo Yan and give her a few tight ps. ¡°Mo Yan, you also said that I¡¯m a big client of yourpany. Why are you treating your clients with such bitter tea? I think you¡¯re deliberately trying to make a fool of me! I¡¯ve drunk plenty of ck tea! There¡¯s never been such a bitter one! ¡± The more Mo Lian spoke, the angrier she got. In her heart, she was already certain that Mo Yan was making a fool of her and that those supervisors were mocking her. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Thinking about how she had actually embarrassed herself in front of Mo Yan, a wave of anger burned straight to her brain. Suddenly, she stood up, picked up the teacup, and threw it at Mo Yan. Mo Yan had long been prepared for her overreaction. The moment the teacup was thrown at her, she stood up and dodged. Her eyes that were filled with frost were staring straight at Mo Lian. The others were also shocked by Mo Lian¡¯s sudden action and stood up in unison. At that moment, the director couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer and asked with a frown, ¡°Ms. Mo, what do you mean by this? ¡± ¡°Director, your employee has been disrespectful to your guest, and you still want to protect her? Do you not want to cooperate anymore? ¡± Mo Lian had long been angered to the point of losing her mind. Without thinking, she actually began to threaten the director of Hong Jing. The old and experienced in thepany knew best how to interact with others. Using profit as temptation was fine, but doing it via a threat was not. It was supposed to be an equal and win-win cooperation, yet she wanted to use profits to threaten others? What kind of joke was that? Did she really think the whole world revolved around her? The director¡¯s face turned cold at that moment. ¡°Ms. Mo, before making tea, Mo Yan asked if the ck tea leaves she had with her were okay, and you unhesitatingly replied that they were. The characteristics of those tea leaves include bitterness and a sweet aftertaste. If you didn¡¯t like that type of tea, you could have brought it up at that time, but now you¡¯re suddenly throwing a tantrum because it doesn¡¯t suit your taste. Ms. Mo, I wonder if you are targeting Mo Yan or Hong Jing? ¡± Chapter 214 - Verbal Victory Chapter 214 - Verbal Victory The director¡¯s voice was stern, instantly waking Mo Lian up. Thinking of the instructions her father had given her before she came, she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and said, ¡°Of course I want to work together happily. I¡¯ve lost myposure this time. Please forgive me. ¡± However, Mo Lian did not seem to be the slightest bit apologetic. At the end of the day, she still saw herpany as bigger than Hong Jing¡¯s and felt that Hong Jing had to be grateful for the chance to work with her family. In order to continue the project, the director had no choice but to suppress her anger, and she said, ¡°Then let¡¯s continue! ¡± After everyone sat down, Mo Yan gave Mo Lian a mocking look that nobody else saw. She was doing it on purpose. Since Mo Lian had mocked her career, she would use the knowledge she had learned to teach Mo Lian how ridiculous her ignorance was. The meeting continued. Mo Lian stared at Mo Yan from her seat as if she wanted to eat Mo Yan alive. Meanwhile, Mo Lian did not cause any trouble until the end of the meeting. Just as Mo Yan was organizing her notes, Mo Lian said to Mo Yan, ¡°Come out with me for a moment. ¡± They were in thepany, so Mo Yan was not afraid that she would have any bad thoughts. Walking into thepany corridor, Mo Lian said hatefully, ¡°Mo Yan, don¡¯t think that you¡¯ve won me this time. You will cry in the future. ¡± Seeing that there were no surveince cameras there, Mo Yan no longer pretended to be amiable. ¡°Mo Lian, you have to be kind. Good will be rewarded good, and evil will be rewarded evil. Have you heard of such a saying? I haven¡¯t forgotten what you did before. I hope you won¡¯t give me a hard time. ¡± Mo Yan¡¯s indifferent gaze gave Mo Lian a fright. Subduing her feelings of guilt, thetter answered, ¡°I¡­ What did I do? You were clearly the one who framed me before. ¡± Mo Yan sneered. ¡°Mo Lian, were you happy staying at Jing City¡¯s police station? Don¡¯t do the kidnapping and drugging thing a second time. You managed to get out the first time, but what about the second? ¡± Mo Lian did not know when Mo Yan had be like that, and her heart was beating wildly. ¡°I should have those people in the room see your true face you¡¯re showing now so they realize you¡¯re only pretending to be the good person! I¡¯ll see how yourpany will still protect you if this cooperation fails! ¡± As Mo Lian spoke, she wondered whether Mo Yan would be ostracised and targeted by her colleagues if she went home and told her father that she did not want to work with Hong Jing because of Mo Yan. Mo Yan looked at Mo Lian¡¯s calm gaze, and her lips parted as she said, ¡°Mo Lian, I advise you not to do that. ¡± ¡°Haha! Mo Yan, are you afraid? ¡± Thinking of Mo Yan¡¯s future life, Mo Lian felt that her newfound method was feasible, so she continued to ridicule Mo Yan. ¡°You, a missy who doesn¡¯t care about anything, suddenly took over the cooperation between the two companies. I think it¡¯s not your idea, but Mo Dong¡¯s idea! Mo Dong has always been a person who cares about dignity and prioritizes profit over anything else. What you did today not only shamed the Mo family but also caused the cooperation to fail. Do you think Mo Dong will not scold you? ¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Mo Yan¡¯s expression of understanding made Mo Lian suddenly feel fear. She did not know if it was her own imagination, but she seemed to feel a strong aura around Mo Yan that suppressed her, making it difficult for her to breathe. She didn¡¯t know how Mo Yan could guess so urately. Before she came, her father had specifically told her to keep an eye on Hong Jing. He was optimistic about Hong Jing¡¯s future and intended to form a long-term partnership with Hong Jing. Mo Lian, suppressed by Mo Yan, clenched her hands into fists. She didn¡¯t dare to make a move, afraid that Mo Yan would really have some evidence that could send her to the police station again. ¡°Mo Yan! Just you wait! Our business is not over! One day, I will take revenge! ¡± Seeing that she could not control Mo Yan and was even humiliated by Mo Yan, Mo Lian¡¯s face flushed red. Her eyes were wide open as she roared angrily. ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting for you at any time. ¡± Mo Lian stomped away angrily, leaving Mo Yan alone on the spot. She did not know if it was because she had been with Luo Tao for a long time, but the indifferent yet controlling aura around Luo Tao was exactly like the one currently around herself. In any case, she had long started fighting with Mo Lian to death, so she would look weak if she continued to avoid her. Mo Yan would not take the initiative to harm Mo Lian. She would just wait for thetter to strike back, then counterattack. Since she could not kill Mo Lian directly, she had to win with words. If Mo Lian was angered to death one day, Mo Yan would be immensely grateful to the heavens. Chapter 215 - Trouble Is a Form of Training Chapter 215 - Trouble Is a Form of Training After Mo Lian left, no one talked to Mo Yan. Everyone knew that Mo Lian was deliberately looking to trip Mo Yan over. One could control oneself and avoid harming others, but one couldn¡¯t control others who wanted to harm oneself. That was the case with Mo Yan. But even though that was the case, with Mo Real Estate as bait, there would always be people who wanted to bite the hook, and their freedom in choosing to bite the hook made things difficult for Mo Yan. In the morning, Mo Yan realized that the Team B and D supervisors whom she had just met in the morning treated her like air. They would not return greetings, and they would pretend that they did not hear whatever she said. Mo Yan was not the kind of person who would assertively tter others, so facing such a situation, she just smiled. In the afternoon, Mo Yan rejected Xu Wan¡¯s invitation for lunch. She had something that she wanted to ask Xu Tian alone. On the way to the cafeteria, Xu Tian happened to witness Mo Yan¡¯s amiableness was snubbed. She pushed up her sses and said, ¡°Chen Ya just left, but Mo Lian arrived right after. You¡¯re really good at attracting trouble to yourself. ¡± Xu Tian¡¯s words seemed to be familiar with the rumors in thepany. Mo Yan sighed. Xu Tian was right. The troublesome things that happened around her really came one after another. ¡°This kind of trouble-attracting trait is also a headache for me. ¡± Mo Yan pretended to rub the space between her eyebrows. ¡°Trouble is also a kind of training, ¡± Xu Tianforted Mo Yan. Mo Yan knew that it was indeed true. Compared to when she just joined thepany and could only comin about being schemed against, she now knew to collect evidence and clearly analyze the other party¡¯s ns. Although the improvement wasn¡¯t considered big, wasn¡¯t it proof of having trained herself up? ¡°Yes. ¡± Mo Yan nodded and brought up the business of the day. ¡°Sister Xu, what do you think about this project? ¡± ¡­ At night, when Mo Yan returned home, she found that Luo Tao wasn¡¯t at home, so she sent Luo Tao a message: ¡°When are youing home? What do you want to eat tonight? I¡¯ll order takeout. ¡± ¡°Darling, you¡¯re home? ¡± Mo Yan¡¯s message was almost immediately answered. ¡°Yes, I left work early today. ¡± Usually, Luo Tao would pick her up after work. Now that she had injured her hand, Luo Tao would all the more arrive at thepany on time. However, she came home early today because she had good news and wanted to celebrate with Luo Tao. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go straight home. You don¡¯t need to order takeout. I¡¯ve already ordered food from Hotel Extravaganza. ¡± Hotel Extravaganza was the hotel that Luo Tao had chosen. It was slightly expensive, but the dishes were full of vor. It couldn¡¯t be denied that their dishes were delicious. At the beginning, Mo Yan was still worried about the cost of takeout. However, Luo Tao sessfully pampered her taste buds such that she no longer put up a fight. For example, if she didn¡¯t want to or couldn¡¯t cook, or if there was anything worth celebrating, the two of them would order something expensive to celebrate. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The dinner that Luo Tao had ordered had arrived. Mo Yan brought the dinner into the house and looked at the receipt. There were a total of three dishes and a soup, two meat dishes and two vegetables. The soup could be considered vegetarian! It was all the food that Cheng Xiao said would be beneficial to her recovery the day before. She didn¡¯t expect Luo Tao to have actually noted it down. Looking at the table full of food, Mo Yan felt an indescribable sweetness in her heart. She and Luo Tao didn¡¯t have a good start, but the process was full of unexpected surprises. She had always felt that Luo Tao was a gift from heaven. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Meanwhile, their message log ended with Mo Yan sending a ¡°Yes¡± and a cute emoji to Luo Tao. After another ten minutes, Mo Yan opened the door for Luo Tao and saw him carrying two small boxes of tea leaves. Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s confusion, Luo Tao exined, ¡°Gifts from a friend. He insisted that I go and get them. ¡± Mo Yan took over the gift boxes and had a look. Coincidentally, it was the same ck tea leaves she had brewed during the project meeting. Did she have some fate with those tea leaves that day? She burst outughing, and her ughter made Luo Tao surprised. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? ¡± Luo Tao asked. Mo Yan told Luo Tao about what happened during the day. Luo Tao alsoughed and touched Mo Yan¡¯s head with some relief. ¡°Not bad. You¡¯ve improved. You finally know how to put up a fight. ¡± Mo Yanughed until tears fell from her eyes as she spoke. Laying on Luo Tao¡¯sp, she mainly described the incident where Mo Lian was so bitter that she only coughed and almost spat out the tea. That was something she had specially observed. Afterughing enough, Mo Yan raised her eyes and met the eyes of Luo Tao, who was looking at her with a gentle expression. That pair of eyes only saw her figure, as though they could no longer see anyone else, just like how he had always given only her special treatment. Chapter 216 Chapter 216 Luo Tao went out that day for no other reason than that Qin Yuan suddenly called to say that someone had discovered his whereabouts and asked him to make a quick trip to his jade shop. It was surely not a small matter, especially since Qin Yuan used a very urgent tone to ask him to rush over. If he was really exposed, not only would forces have to be redeployed to Jing City, but foreign countries would also need to send more people over. However, when Luo Tao arrived, he saw Qin Yuan leisurely sipping tea in his office. ¡°Exposed? ¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows. As soon as he saw Qin Yuan¡¯s expression, he knew that he might have been yed by Qin Yuan. ¡°How free you are, ¡± Luo Tao said lightly. Qin Yuan saw that Luo Tao¡¯s expression was not friendly and quickly shook his head. ¡°No, I¡¯m serious. Your whereabouts have been discovered by a person in Jing City. ¡± ¡°Who? ¡± ¡°It¡¯s¡­ ¡± Qin Yuan suddenly raised his voice. Luo Tao was still waiting for the next part. However, in the next second, Luo Tao suddenly sensed someone approaching from behind. He dodged and used his arm to support his body. In an instant, he flipped over the couch and grabbed the person¡¯s neck. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°Who are you? ¡± Luo Tao looked at the back of the person who was somewhat familiar. ¡°Brother, my dear brother, you should be gentler! ¡± the person who was pressed against the back of the couch by Luo Tao let out a blood-curdling scream. ¡°Huo Yu? Why are you here? ¡± Luo Tao quickly released his grip and helped Huo Yu up. Huo Yu, his younger sister, was adopted by the Huo family when she was young. He once heard that when she was adopted, a geomancy master said that the Huo family¡¯s yang energy was too strong and needed the bnce of yin energy, leading to her adoption. Huo Yu was also the only warmth he felt in the Huo family other than his grandfather. What made him unhappy was that his grandfather¡¯s hard-core education had turned a good girl into a tomboy. She had learned mixed martial arts early and was sent abroad to study after graduating from university. As a result, he had not seen her for nearly two years. ¡°I heard that you let gave up the session rights to the Huo family, so I rushed back! ¡± ¡°Mhm. ¡± Luo Tao lowered his eyes. Huo Yu must have gotten permission from the old man toe back. It seemed that the old man wanted him to go back and reim his power as soon as possible? Seeing that Luo Tao had no reaction, Huo Yu was a little anxious. ¡°How can you give up your rights as the heir to the Huo family? Those uncles and cousins are all thinking of destroying you! ¡± Luo Tao tapped the couch with his fingertips andughed. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything in my hands now. What do they want to destroy me for? ¡± ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. ¡± Huo Yu supported herself on the back of the couch and jumped up. She sat beside Luo Tao and took the teacup that he had never used before, then poured herself a cup of tea and drank it. ¡°Those bastards have long treated you as a thorn in their flesh. It¡¯s just that they haven¡¯t found out that you¡¯re in City C yet, so they haven¡¯t made a move. Now that your authority is gone, it would be even more dangerous if they found out, ¡± Huo Yu said worriedly. ¡°They didn¡¯t realize that I was in City C, but how did you find out? ¡± Luo Tao asked. Huo Yu smiled mysteriously and said, ¡°I have my own ways. I¡¯m but you, Huo Zhen¡¯s sister. How can I live such a carefree life without any capabilities? ¡± Then, Huo Yu seemed to have thought of something. She frowned and asked, ¡°Huo Zhen, did you hide here to deliberately give up the rights to seed the family? ¡± Huo Yu was too worried about Huo Zhen. As the saying went, concern led to irrationality. When Huo Yu was looking for Huo Zhen, she did not think too much about it. Now that she saw that Huo Zhen was safe, she noticed that something was amiss. Huo Zhen nodded and nced at Huo Yu. ¡°Have your whereabouts been exposed? ¡± Huo Yu said seriously, ¡°Of course not! Because you gave up the rights to seed the family, those family members became afraid that Grandpa would appoint me as the next sessor out of favor for our father. They attacked me twice abroad. Only when I found out and asked Grandpa did I know that so much had happened at home. I sneaked back to the country. ¡± Luo Tao really did not expect that his n would involve Huo Yu. He originally thought that since Huo Yu had nevere into contact with the family business overseas, they would not care about Huo Yu. He did not expect those people to really have no bottom line. ¡°Do you know who attacked you? ¡± Huo Yu shook her head. ¡°I once caught a person, but that person was shot before he could be interrogated. ¡± Luo Tao frowned. ¡°Then go back to the country. Grandpa can take care of you. I will ask Wen Ze to send more people to ensure your and Grandpa¡¯s safety. ¡± Chapter 217 Chapter 217 ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to go back. I found out that Grandpa is being surrounded by our second and third uncles every day. I get annoyed whenever I see those flies. I don¡¯t want to go home, ¡± Huo Yu pouted and said unhappily. She knew that she had to go back one day. It was legal to carry a gun abroad, so her life could be seriously threatened abroad, and she might even be a bargaining chip to ckmail Huo Zhen. Therefore, she did not refute his suggestion, however, she was not willing to go back to the Huo family and watch dramatic family politics every day. Each person had 800 tricks up their sleeves. Their words were almost as many as the winding mountain highway. Who would be willing to y along with them? ¡°Then what do you want to do? ¡± Luo Tao was quite patient with that sister of his, so he asked Huo Yu back. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Huo Yu stepped on the coffee table in front of her and grabbed Qin Yuan¡¯s cor. ¡°Little Yuan, what¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t it time for you to call me big sister? ¡± Huo Yu¡¯s attitude did not have the dignity of the eldest daughter of the Huo family anymore. She was like a bandit. ¡°Ah! Huo Zhen, help! You still want me to get engaged with her? Anybody will do, but not her! ¡± ¡°Qin Yuan, Huo Yu is my sister. I¡¯m already treating you like a bro by not beating you up on the spot, ¡± Luo Tao said coldly. Huo Yu had her brother¡¯s support, so she became more confident. She smiled at Qin Yuan and said, ¡°Little Yuan, give up struggling! You are mine in the end. ¡± At that time, Qin Yuan was already out of breath. He struggled with hisst breath and said, ¡°Huo Zhen! To keep up the facade of wooing her, I won¡¯t have the time to help you anymore post-engagement! You won¡¯t have anyone helping you with work anymore! ¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Everyone knows that you are only engaged for business and not love. You can still help me with work. ¡± With such engagement timing, even the old foxes in Jing City would be able to guess that it was a n to protect Huo Yu. Moreover, the marriage between the Huo and Qin families would put the two in the same boat. No one from the Huo family would be allowed to touch the Qin family again. After hearing Luo Tao¡¯s words, Qin Yuan rolled his eyes and pretended to be dead. After being pinched by Huo Yu twice, he could only look at the female overlord with a sad expression. ¡°You should be satisfied if you can get engaged to me! I have the looks, a good figure, and the smarts. Where else would you find such a perfect wife? ¡± ¡°Yeah! If you didn¡¯t know mixed martial arts and weren¡¯t so violent, you would have been quite perfect indeed. ¡± Qin Yuan rolled his eyes and pped Huo Yu¡¯s hand away. What did Qin Yuan do in his past life to meet the two stubborn ones in front of him? Chapter 218 Chapter 218 Huo Yu clicked her tongue and let go of Qin Yuan¡¯s cor. She rolled her eyes as if she had just noticed something. ¡°Sister-inw? Brother, you have a girlfriend?¡± Huo Yu asked in shock. Seriously? The impossible had happened? ¡°Not a girlfriend, a wife,¡± Qin Yuan corrected her. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Back then, he had only said that it was a lover, but Huo Zhen had been on his case for a few days. Huo Yu¡¯s eyes were wide open. ¡°W¡­wife? Brother, when did you get married? I¡¯m your sister! You didn¡¯t even inform me! It can¡¯t be! There¡¯s no news of your marriage in Jing City!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you investigate? You didn¡¯t find out about this?¡± Luo Tao calmly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. ¡°What investigation? I just happened to hear that you were in C city, so I rushed back. Where do I have the time to investigate anything about you.¡± Huo Yu rolled her eyes at Luo Tao. ¡°I got married under someone else¡¯s identity.¡± Luo Tao exined briefly. Seeing Huo Yu¡¯s utter confusion, Qin Yuan had the decency to exin things to her. ¡°Brother Huo got into a car ident earlier. Through a convergence of errors, he identally took over someone else¡¯s identity and married sister-inw.¡± Huo Yu widened her eyes in surprise. What era was this? How could there still be such a thing as a marriage under someone else¡¯s identity? ¡°I say, brother, you¡¯re too irresponsible! If the girl finds out that you¡¯re a substitute, she¡¯ll definitely want to kill you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that bad! Our brother Huo is notcking in the department of finances, looks, and physique. If sister-inw finds out about brother Huo¡¯s true identity, won¡¯t she be overjoyed?¡± Huo Yu rolled her eyes at Qin Yuan, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about whether it¡¯s the right thing to do. Just say, after the matter is exposed, can my brother marry her? Moreover, my brother reced that person. How will those two continue with their lives after my brother leaves? Or maybe the girl will develop feelings for my brother. Once my brother leaves, she will ask you if you are a scumbag.¡± The two men in the room were rendered speechless by the young girl¡¯s words. Luo Tao frowned. ¡°I will marry her.¡± ¡°Marry her? What do you think will happen if two people from different strata of society get together? Brother, you grew up in the Huo family. Don¡¯t you know what circles you move around in?¡± ¡°How many Cindere romances have you seen in the capital? Moreover, Cindere is not an ordinary person! She is the daughter of a noble family.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s face was gloomy after hearing Huo Yu¡¯s words. Back then, he had had no choice but to fulfill the engagement because he had to hide his identity and did not want to make a big deal out of it. ¡°I will decide on matters rting to my own marriage.¡± Huo Yu saw that Luo Tao¡¯s expression was really bad, so she did not dare to say anything more. Qin Yuan gave her a look that told her she was on her own. The room was silent for a moment. Qin Yuan and Huo Yu were like two little quails who had had their mouths sealed shut. They did not dare to say anything more. Luo Tao broke the silence and asked Huo Yu, ¡°Have you returned to Jing City?¡± Huo Yu shook her head. ¡°No, I came directly to your ce. I told Grandpa I¡¯ll be back in a few days.¡± ¡°Go back as soon as possible. Don¡¯t let Grandpa worry.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Huo Yu answered reluctantly. Seeing that it was gettingte, Luo Tao got up and was about to leave. Suddenly, a text message notification sounded from his phone. Huo Yu and Qin Yuan looked at the source of the sound at the same time. Therefore, the two of them witnessed the appearance of the face-changing master. Huo Yu widened her eyes and nudged Qin Yuan with her elbow. She asked, ¡°Who is this person?¡± Qin Yuan epted it much more quickly. It was not the first time he had seen Luo Tao¡¯s face-changing. ¡°Your brother.¡± ¡°Who sent him the message?¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, it¡¯s sister-inw.¡± ¡°Sister-inw? The girl who got tricked by my brother?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Huo Yu and Qin Yuan were well-coordinated with each other, as if they were singing a double act. After Luo Tao finished typing, he turned around and looked at the two of them coldly. ¡°You have nothing better to do?¡± The two of them instantly covered their mouths and shook their heads in unison. This time, Luo Tao did not say anything and directly left Qin Yuan¡¯s office. ¡°Little Yuan, I really didn¡¯t see wrongly earlier. That¡¯s my brother? How can he be so gentle? Could it be that he¡¯s been reced by someone else?¡± Qin Yuan did not know where Huo Yu¡¯s imagination was going, so he could only helplessly say, ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m telling you, that¡¯s Huo Zhen. After getting married, he became like this. We¡¯re all used to it.¡± Chapter 219 Chapter 219 Huo Yu stared at Qin Yuan for a moment before suddenly narrowing her eyes and revealing a smile. ¡°Little Yuan, looks like you know quite a lot! Come on! Tell me about it.¡± Qin Yuan blinked. ¡°Oh right, brother Huo earlier asked me to contact Wen Ze, I¡­¡± Qin Yuan was just about to escape when Huo Yu put him a chokehold, keeping him in ce. Then, a sinister voice sounded in his ear. ¡°It seems like we haven¡¯t met for too long, causing you to misunderstand mybat ability, hmm?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t, sister Yu, I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk¡­¡± ¡­ Mo Yan didn¡¯t understand why Luo Tao didn¡¯t want to share a room with her. Sometimes, when Mo Yan thought that their rtionship would go further, Luo Tao would restrain himself and walk to the living room sofa to sleep, just like tonight. Around two o¡¯clock in the morning, Mo Yan got up and went to the bathroom. When she passed by the sofa, she saw only a thin nket that was tousled up. There was no sign of Luo Tao. Mo Yan was a little surprised. When she heard the faint sounds of conversation on the balcony, she walked over. ¡°¡­ ask the other party to increase the price. Take his¡­¡± Just as she reached outside the door, Mo Yan heard Luo Tao¡¯s voice. The other side seemed to have said something. Luo Tao¡¯s voice sounded again, ¡°Well done. Speed up the process.¡± Luo Tao, who was he speaking with? Mo Yan suddenly realized that Luo Tao was different from the rumors. Her husband didn¡¯t seem to be her husband¡­ After a moment of silence, Mo Yan lowered her eyes and left quietly. The next day, Mo Yan was woken by the rm clock. She hadn¡¯t sleep well the night before because she had thoughts going round in her head, so she said good morning to Luo Tao with dark circles beneath her eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Does your arm hurt that much?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice was full of concern. Mo Yan looked up at him and was drawn into his gaze that was full of heartache. Mo Yan¡¯s heart throbbed in pain and she subconsciously avoided his gaze. Luo Tao was focused on Mo Yan¡¯s wound and did not notice her expression. ¡°Eat your food before taking your medicine. Take a leave from work today. I¡¯ll bring you to the hospital to have a look.¡± Luo Tao frowned and wanted to touch Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder, but he was afraid that he would hurt her. His hand froze in mid-air. Mo Yan lowered her eyes and held Luo Tao¡¯s hand with her right hand, smiling, ¡°I¡¯m not that noble. It¡¯s normal for it to hurt. If it doesn¡¯t hurt, I¡¯ll wonder if my arm is going to be useless.¡± Seeing that Mo Yan was still in the mood to joke, Luo Tao¡¯s worries eased a little. He sped Mo Yan¡¯s fingers and brought her to the table where breakfast had already beenid out. Mo Yan loved eating porridge and buns from the small shop downstairs. However, that shop was tiny and crowded with customers, so if she wanted to eat their buns and still be able to go to work on time, she had to go downstairs early to queue up. Sometimes, when Mo Yan said she didn¡¯t want to make breakfast, Luo Tao would go downstairs to help her buy it. It was unknown when the two of them had be ustomed to getting along so warmly. ¡°You¡­¡± Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao and didn¡¯t say anything in the end. She pulled him along to have breakfast. ¡°I don¡¯t want to request for leave from work. Mo Lian and I aren¡¯t on good terms. She came to the company yesterday to discuss a coboration. If I absent myself, she might have something to say about me again.¡± Mo Yanined as she chewed on her bun. She might have caused trouble for Mo Lian in her previous life, so she came to seek revenge on her in this life. Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Luo Tao¡¯s thin lips opened slightly and closed. He wanted to say that he could support her so that she need not work so hard, but in the end, he couldn¡¯t say anything. ¡°I remember you said that if you had money and didn¡¯t have to work, you would want to go on a vacation?¡± Luo Tao asked. Mo Yan nodded. She didn¡¯t expect Luo Tao to remember what she had mentioned in passing. ¡°Then when your arm has healed and you¡¯re on leave from work, let¡¯s go out and enjoy ourselves! Just the two of us.¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Luo Tao¡¯s voice was very soft and gentle, like a feather drawing circles on Mo Yan¡¯s heart. Mo Yan¡¯s face was slightly flushed. ¡°It¡¯s still early! Didn¡¯t the doctor say that my arm needs to rest for more than a month?¡± ¡°If you want to go, I¡¯ll make ns first.¡± Luo Tao seemed to be seriously considering this matter, and was waiting for Mo Yan¡¯s reply. Thinking of all the things that had happened since she came onboard thepany, Mo Yan suddenly felt a little tired, and she nodded in agreement. Luo Tao¡¯s eyes were smiling. ¡°Then let me decide where to go! I want to give you a surprise.¡± Mo Yan raised her eyebrows. Her mind was instantly attracted by the word ¡°surprise¡±. ¡°Surprise? It won¡¯t turn into a shock, will it?¡± Mo Yan teased. ¡°Do you not trust your husband?¡± Luo Tao pretended to be serious. They looked at each other for a moment and suddenlyughed out loud. Chapter 220 Chapter 220 ¡°Sister, I wonder what you think of what I said?¡± Mo Yan had been in a daze and was a little muddleheaded when she was suddenly called out. She reacted slightly and said, ¡°The concept is very good. I think the project can proceed smoothly.¡± Mo Lian had originally thought that she would be able to make a fool out of Mo Yan, who had been in a daze. In the end, however, she was disappointed. She had no choice but to let her assistant continue. Mo Yan was helpless against Mo Lian¡¯s way of torturing her. This project was obviously not going to involve her but Mo Lian still kept an eye on her to see if she had been paying attention. After the project meeting, Xu Tian and Mo Yan walked side by side to the office. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°It looks like tonight¡¯s gathering is a banquet organized with malicious intentions, aimed at you,¡± Xu Tian said inly. Before they dispersed, Mo Lian had specifically mentioned that there would be a gathering that night. She hoped that everyone would be able to attend. ¡°Ever since I decided to sever ties with the Mo family, Mo Lian has had no way of threatening me. All she can do is say something unprofessional to humiliate me. I didn¡¯t suffer any losses, so why bother with her?¡± Xu Tian looked at Mo Yan with a gratified expression in her eyes. Mo Yan was not the only one who had figured out Mo Lian¡¯s tricks after a few exchanges. Mo Lian also understood Mo Yan. Mo Yan could write it off when it involved herself, but not when it came to her family. Mo Yan¡¯s mother and younger brother had long fallen out with the Mo family. Even if Mo Lian wanted to find them, she would not be able to. The only person she could look for was Mo Yan¡¯s husband, Luo Tao. Mo Lian scrolled through her phone for a long time before she found Luo Tao¡¯s number and dialed it. A momentter, an icy male voice came from the other end of the phone, ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Hello! Luo Tao? This is Mo Lian.¡± When Luo Tao heard that it was Mo Lian, he did not utter a single word and directly hung up. Who knew that the woman¡¯s call woulde again. ¡°Luo Tao, we¡¯re having a banquet tonight. You can join us.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± This time, Mo Lian did not give Luo Tao a chance to hang up. She quickly said, ¡°There are quite a number of guys attending the party today. If you don¡¯te, I don¡¯t know who will take Mo Yan away tonight.¡± ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Luo Tao¡¯s tone was frosty, like an ice pick piercing through the other end of the phone. ¡°It¡¯s not a warning, just a friendly reminder. After all, Mo Yan is quite good-looking. There should be a lot of people in thepany who like her.¡± ¡°Time and ce.¡± ¡°7 p.m., Singh Hotel.¡± After obtaining the address, Luo Tao quickly hung up on Mo Lian and called Mo Yan. ¡°Hello? Luo Tao?¡± Hearing a gentle and familiar voice sounding from the phone, Luo Tao was slightly relieved and asked, ¡°Is yourpany having a banquet tonight?¡± ¡°Huh? How did you know? I haven¡¯t had the chance to tell you yet!¡± ¡°Mo Lian called to inform me.¡± ¡°Why would she call you? And to talk about the gathering?¡± Mo Yan couldn¡¯tprehend it. Luo Tao was also unclear about what Mo Lian was trying to do. ¡°I don¡¯t know. What time is the banquet? Send me the address.¡± ¡°Tentatively 7 p.m.; as for the address, it¡¯s at Singh Hotel.¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn¡¯t expect Mo Lian to be telling the truth. Until that day, Luo Tao had still been brooding over the fact that Mo Yan had been drugged; Mo Yan was the same. Therefore, when Mo Lian mentioned the Singh Hotel, Mo Yan frowned deeply. At the same time, she could not help but wonder if Mo Lian had deliberately chosen that ce, knowing that she had been traumatized there. Thinking about the fact that other managers and directors would be present, Mo Yan did not want to bother Luo Tao, so she said, ¡°Sister Xu Tian will be joining us for dinner tonight, so there won¡¯t be any problems. Besides, the more Mo Lian wants you toe, the more we can¡¯t let her have her way, right?¡± Luo Tao was silent and did not answer. Mo Yan continued, ¡°You know the address. If there¡¯s anything, you can hurry over anytime.¡± Seeing that Mo Yan kept trying to dissuade him, Luo Tao could only listen to her advice, ¡°Contact me anytime.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The two of them reached an agreement. Mo Yan put down her phone and heaved a sigh of relief. If this Mo Lian could leave her alone, she would really thank the heavens. Although she would have dinner that night, she still had to continue working during the day. Mo Yan threw herself back into work and soon forgot about Mo Lian. Chapter 221 Chapter 221 In the evening, as nned, a group of people left for the hotel after work. However, unexpectedly, other than the people from Mo Yan¡¯spany, there were other people already waiting in the private room. After Mo Lian¡¯s introduction, those from Hong Jing found out that the people in front of them were in charge of Mo Lian¡¯s future development work. The dishes were served promptly, and not long after, the table was filled with food and wine. Mo Lian kept looking at Mo Yan, but Mo Yan did not seem to notice it as she stared at the food in front of her. Mo Lian could not help but ask everyone to start eating after a few words. After a few sses of wine, the atmosphere at the table gradually livened up. The directors, the managers of Group B, Group D, and the people from Hong Jing¡¯s side were mingling. Some were touting those from Mo Yan¡¯s side with different methods. On the other hand, Mo Yan¡¯s side was persuaded to drink alcohol even after getting drunk, but Mo Yan had injuries, so that person only tried persuading her for a while before moving on. Mo Yan waspletely uninterested in this type of social gathering where people were always blindly entertaining one other. She quietly discussed with Xu Tian which dish was more delicious. Just when Mo Lian was being heavily ttered, she suddenly noticed Mo Yan, who was chatting happily with Xu Tian, and instantly thought of the purpose of the gathering that night. After telling everyone that she was going to go out and make a call, she left the room. She only returned after about five minutes. ¡°Everyone, stop for a moment. There¡¯s a guesting in a while. I hope everyone can look after him.¡± Mo Lian gave Mo Yan an evil smile. This made Mo Yan realize who the person was. Mo Yan¡¯s brows were tightly knitted. She looked coldly at Mo Lian. ¡°Why did you ask Luo Tao here?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s cold expression made the private room quieten down instantly. Mo Lian saw that Mo Yan was angry and felt delighted, she said, ¡°What can I do? It¡¯s because I saw that brother-inw hasn¡¯t had a proper job since he came out! I was thinking that, since the start of the project is when we are short-handed, I¡¯ll let the people from thepany meet brother-inw and see if they can find a simple job for him.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was even colder. Mo Lian had invited Luo Tao twice in a row. It seemed like she wanted to ensure that Luo Tao came. As for the purpose ofing here, other than humiliating Luo Tao and making her angry, Mo Yan really couldn¡¯t think of another intention. ¡°Sister, don¡¯t be so courteous. I just want to help you.¡± As she was speaking, there was a knock on the door, and everyone¡¯s eyes instantly focused on the door. The first to push the door open was a waiter, followed by Luo Tao. The moment he saw Luo Tao, the supervisor of group B subconsciously said, ¡°So handsome!¡± Luo Tao was only wearing a simple white shirt and ck pants. Perhaps he had already taken a shower at home, but his hair was a little fluffy, and he looked like a fresh college student. He was a perfect match for Mo Yan. Just as everyone was stunned, Mo Yan quickly ran to Luo Tao¡¯s side and asked worriedly, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Luo Tao gave Mo Yan aforting smile and squeezed Mo Yan¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯m here to pick you up. We can go home togetherter.¡± Mo Yan blushed from his smile and was about to ask the waiter to add a stool next to her. However, before the two of them could take their seats, Mo Lian spoke, ¡°Everyone, this is my sister Mo Lian¡¯s husband, Luo Tao. Everyone, please look after him in the future!¡± Luo Tao¡¯s gaze swept past Mo Lian and the few managers at the table. For some reason, his gaze made the seasoned managers feel a strong pressure, and they all avoided his gaze. Luo Tao ignored the crowd. He nced at the food on the table, then brought Mo Yan to the table and sat down. ¡°The dishes are okay. There¡¯s nothing you can¡¯t eat right now.¡± Mo Yan nodded with a smile. Although she needed to eat more to recover, some food was still taboo. Luo Tao remembered it better than she did. Mo Lian was ignored by the two of them, and her face turned ck as thunder. When she heard Luo Tao talk about the dishes, she put on a fake smile and said, ¡°Yes! Singh¡¯s dishes are not bad. I don¡¯t think brother-inw has ever eaten such exceptional dishes! In the future, if brother-inw enters our company, we¡¯ll have to arrange more business trips for brother-inw to broaden his horizons.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s expression was icy. If her gaze could turn into an ice pick, it would have pierced Mo Lian into a sieve long ago. Mo Yan was just about to mock her back when Luo Tao handed her a bowl of soup. Seeing that Luo Tao did not care about Mo Lian¡¯s barking, Mo Yan calmed down greatly. She did not want Luo Tao to suffer because of her. Chapter 222 - Jealous Chapter 222 - Jealous Seeing that no one was talking, Mo Lian was embarrassed by Mo Yan¡¯s and Luo Tao¡¯s disregard. Her face almost turned red. ¡°Mo Yan, I¡¯m talking to you! Can¡¯t you hear me?¡± Mo Lian was so angry that her eyes were red. Why was Mo Yan¡¯s useless husband so handsome? And he only had Mo Yan in his heart? She had originally wanted to call Luo Tao over to humiliate him, but in the end, she was the one who was humiliated. Luo Tao¡¯s expression was calm as he slowly raised his eyes to look at Mo Lian. This was the first time that Luo Tao had looked at Mo Lian straight in the eye. ¡°My wife is eating. Can¡¯t you see?¡± A strong feeling of oppression came over Mo Lian. She felt as if a hand was strangling her neck and she was unable to make a sound. Mo Lian¡¯spany¡¯s manager saw that things were not going in the right direction and quickly opened his mouth to help Mo Lian create trouble. ¡°Aren¡¯t you husband and wife pair going too far? Our general manager only wanted to help you on ount of being your rtive. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you still dare to show a bad attitude to her?¡± With someone else helping her out, Mo Lian¡¯s expression was much better, but her gaze remained on Luo Tao¡¯s face. ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s crisp three words once again lowered the atmosphere to freezing point, while Mo Yan only wanted to send Luo Tao two words, beautifully executed! One after another, they were criticized in front of the employees of the otherpanies. Mo Lian¡¯s and her subordinates¡¯ expressions could no longer be described as ugly. Seeing this, Hong Jing¡¯s director had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, ¡°Tonight is mainly a private gathering for us. Let¡¯s put off work discussions for now.¡± After saying that, the director raised his wine ss. Fortunately, Luo Tao acquiesced this time, and the people of Mo Lian¡¯spany also gave themselves a way out. With the director¡¯s interruption, the atmosphere eased up considerably. Although everyone¡¯s smiles were a little awkward, it was still better than being expressionless. After Luo Tao dissed Mo Lian, he stopped talking to irrelevant people and focused on giving Mo Yan deboned fish meat. After two days of brainwashing, Mo Yan was very clear about the matter of the B team supervisor¡¯s partiality for handsome men. When she saw her asionally nce that way, her chest inexplicably felt a little sore, and her hand lightly pinched Luo Tao¡¯s thigh under the table. Although Luo Tao¡¯s expression did not change, Mo Yan could clearly feel his muscles tense and his body straighten up in an instant. Seeing Luo Tao looking at her with a puzzled look, Mo Yan smiled like a little fox. She moved closer to Luo Tao¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°You¡¯re too handsome. Our Group B manager has been stealing nces at you. I¡¯m jealous.¡± Upon hearing this, Luo Tao revealed a helpless smile. His gaze towards Mo Yan was full of indulgence. He ignored the looks of others and directly bit Mo Yan¡¯s ear. ¡°Don¡¯t be jealous. Hubby will show you more when we get back.¡± Luo Tao emphasized the word ¡®more¡¯. In addition to the fact that the two of them at close quarters, his hot breathnded on Mo Yan¡¯s ear just like that. In an instant, countless R-18 images appeared in Mo Yan¡¯s mind. Mo Yan¡¯s face was flushed red as she red fiercely at Luo Tao. However, she didn¡¯t know that her glittering eyes not only failed to make Luo Tao restrain himself, but instead further provoked his emotions. ¡°Wife, when can we go home?¡± ¡°It will take a while! This¡­¡± Speaking of going home, Mo Yan subconsciously looked at Mo Lian. Unexpectedly, Mo Lian stared at her with a look that could kill. Mo Yan was so spooked that she quivered, and all the romantic thoughts disappeared instantaneously. Mo Yan seriously suspected that she had antagonized and offended Mo Lian in a past life. Otherwise, why would she be so angry? Luo Tao saw the sudden change in Mo Yan¡¯s expression and guessed that it was because of Mo Lian again, so he did not ask and continued to pick out fish bones for Mo Yan. Everyone was talking, but only Luo Tao and Mo Yan seemed to have reallye to eat. From the moment Luo Tao sat down, Mo Yan¡¯s bowl was always full. He originally thought that the night would end like this, but at some point, the topic had shifted back to himself. ¡°Ms. Mo, May I know what your husband¡¯s previous job was?¡± The person who asked was Hong Jing¡¯s director. Although Mo Yan did not like it, she still answered him in the end. ¡°He has been doing trantion work.¡± Mo Yan replied with a smile. Actually, she was quite proud of her husband saying that he had taught himself foreignnguages. Other people needed outstanding linguistic abilities to be hired as a trantor, but Luo Tao only needed to teach himself¡­ Thinking of this, Mo Yan¡¯s eyes darkened. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Trantor?¡± Chapter 223 - Little Princess Chapter 223 - Little Princess No one had expected Luo Tao to have such a job. Their impression was that, even though he was good-looking, he was still an ignorant thug who knew only about fighting and brawling. As for where this impression came from, in Mo Lian¡¯spany, it was naturally Mo Lian herself who had told them about it, while Hong Jing¡¯s executives learned about it from rumors. ¡°How is that possible?¡± Mo Lian¡¯s sharp voice made everyone feel a little ufortable. ¡°How can a good-for-nothing who only knows how to fight and get incarcerated, who can only rely on his wife to support him, know how to trante? Mo Yan, you¡¯re not just saying that to put up a facade, are you?¡± Mo Lian had long lost her rationality due to Mo Yan¡¯s sweet appearance. She blurted out everything that was on her mind. In the end, she did not forget to question the authenticity of Mo Yan¡¯s words. The others frowned at Mo Lian¡¯s loss ofposure, but they could not suppress their curiosity. They wanted to know if Mo Yan was speaking the truth. Mo Yan looked troubled. Although she had always received royalties from Luo Tao, she had never read Luo Tao¡¯s tranted books. She did not know how to prove it. Seeing that Mo Yan did not answer, Mo Lian¡¯s eyes lit up. She was about to make things difficult for Luo Tao. She only heard a series of words that she could not understanding from Luo Tao¡¯s mouth. Mo Yan was dumbfounded. She touched Xu Tian¡¯s arm. ¡°Sister Xu, do you know what Luo Tao is saying?¡± Xu Tian looked deeply at Luo Tao and whispered to Mo Yan, ¡°He said is yourpany sure that they want to work with such a brainless woman?¡± Pfft! Mo Yan identallyughed out loud, attracting the attention of a few people. Luo Tao also turned his gaze over and rubbed Mo Yan¡¯s head. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. The director¡¯s reply made Luo Tao smile again. ¡°Sister Xu, what did the director say?¡± ¡°He said there was no other way. The other party gave a lot of money. Although the other party was unreasonable, unruly, willful, and brainless, no one would go against money.¡± 1 Mo Yan covered her mouth with all her strength to prevent herughter from leaking out. She didn¡¯t expect the director to have such an evaluation of Mo Lian. She suddenly felt a trace of sympathy for Mo Lian. She always thought that she was a princess in other people¡¯s eyes, but in reality, she was just a clown. ¡°Sister Xu, whatnguage are they speaking?¡± Mo Yan was curious why everyone else had the same expression as her. It was fine if she alone could not understand it, but it seemed that the others could not understand it either. ¡°Swedish, a minornguage,¡± Xu Tian replied. ¡°Swedish? Sister Xu, you know this too! You¡¯re simply too amazing! You¡¯re my idol!¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes glowed as she looked at Xu Tian. Her eyes were filled with admiration, causing Xu Tian, who was a serious person, to break into a smile. ¡°I¡¯m also amazing, why don¡¯t I see you praising me?¡± Unknowingly, Luo Tao had already ended his conversation with the director and moved closer to Mo Yan. ¡°That¡¯s different!¡± Mo Yan retorted. ¡°How is it different?¡± Luo Tao asked with a smile. Suddenly, the director coughed twice, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere that Mo Yan and Luo Tao were about to create again. ¡°I wonder where Mr. Luo learned Swedish?¡± The director was a little curious about Luo Tao. All along, he had only heard rumors about Mo Yan¡¯s husband. There were all kinds of rumors, but now, after meeting him, he felt that the rumors were not believable. ¡°Self-taught,¡± Luo Tao answered. This answer rendered the director speechless. Not many people would deliberately learn a minor language. Firstly, it was not very useful. Secondly, if it could not be used frequently, it would gradually be obsolete. With these two points, the prospects for development using a minornguage were not optimistic. Moreover, a self-taught person like Luo Tao could not do it without perseverance, understanding, and interest in thenguage. Just this alone made the director look at him in a new light. ¡°Mr. Luo is really amazing to be able to learn Swedish by himself and to be able to work as a trantor.¡± Luo Tao chuckled. ¡°My wife is the one who¡¯s amazing. During the two to three months when I was self- learning, the expenses at home were all borne by her alone. At that time, she had just started her job.¡± Although what Luo Tao said about self-learning was false, he had indeed not earned a single cent for the family during the first two to three months. Mo Yan did not expect Luo Tao to suddenly mention her. After hearing Luo Tao¡¯s words, she almost burst into tears. Luo Tao cared about all of her efforts and remembered them. Even so, Mo Lian was still unconvinced. ¡°Ha! You can trante just by speaking a few words in Swedish? How can trantion be so easy? You must be bragging.¡± Chapter 224 - Swedish Chapter 224 - Swedish Many of the people present had a new understanding of Mo Lian¡¯s brain damage. Mo Yan even saw the Group B supervisor secretly give an eye roll out of Mo Lian¡¯s line of sight. 1 Since Luo Tao had already exined, he did not miss this sentence and directly reported the title of the book to her. Xu Tian continued to trante for Mo Yan. The title was ¡°The girl with a dragon tattoo¡±. Mo Yan quietly searched on Baidu and a row of entries appeared at the bottom. It was a mystery novel, and it was written in a column that the trantor was Mr. Luo. This time, Mo Lian had nothing to say. Even if she was unwilling, she could only endure it. The following dinner was a little strange. On one side, a few people continued to support Mo Lian, while Hong Jing, who was led by the director, spoke more with Luo Tao. The director¡¯s knowledge of Swedish could only be said to be a hobby of his, but this hobby was too narrow in scope. Although he joined some groups, they were from different regions and seldom met. Now that he had finally met someone whom he could talk with, he was extremely excited. ¡°Mr. Luo, can I ask a favor of you?¡± The director rubbed his hands in embarrassment. ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°Actually, I want to ask you to trante an old novel for me.¡± Luo Tao raised his eyebrows. ¡°Old novel?¡± ¡°Yes, this is the first Swedish novel that I havee into contact with. The words behind it are more profound. I don¡¯t quite understand it. Perhaps the trantion is only half-understood, so I feel that the ending should not be like the trantion.¡± Luo Tao pondered for a moment and nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Thank you very much!¡± The director¡¯s eyes were overflowing with gratitude. It seemed that this book held great importance to him. While Mo Yan was chatting enthusiastically, Mo Lian¡¯s side was rtively taciturn. Everyone knew that this eldest daughter of the Mo family would hold a grudge against you if you didn¡¯t go along with her wishes. She might retaliate against you at any moment. Her subordinates only dared to tter her and grovel at her feet if they did something wrong. No one dared to utter a single negative word about her. Mo Lian looked at the couple who were being supported by all. The jealousy and hatred in her eyes were about to show itself. ¡°Ha! Tranting in a minornguage is not a proper job after all. One day, you won¡¯t be able to get money if you don¡¯t get a trantion. Mo Yan! Listen to your elder sister¡¯s advice. Let your husband find a properpany to work in!¡± Mo Lian¡¯s subordinates were afraid that Mo Yan would say something that would make Mo Lian feel embarrassed, so they quickly chimed in, ¡°Since Mr. Luo¡¯s picks things up so rapidly, why not learn how to y the stock market? There will be opportunities to obtain money quickly.¡± Hearing what Mo Lian¡¯s subordinate had said, Mo Yan stopped smiling and looked coldly at the person who had spoken. After living together for some time, the husband and wife would slowly be like each other. For example, the person now also felt a sense of oppression. Mo Yan did not think that it was bad to trade stocks, but it really needed ability and luck. Otherwise, for an ordinary family, the stock market was like goods sailing in the sea, and they had to constantly worry about whether they would encounter storms or waves. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Once they were stuck, the entire family would be at risk of being torn apart. Didn¡¯t they see how many people had jumped down from the tall buildings on Wall Street? To let a person like Luo Tao, who had nevere into contact with stocks, learn stocks on the spot, meant Mo Lian would really go to any lengths to break up her family. ¡°I don¡¯t need Ms. Mo Lian and everyone to worry about my family¡¯s matters. He¡¯s my husband. Even if he doesn¡¯t earn money, I¡¯m willing to support him.¡± Perhaps to some men, it was uneptable for their wives to support them, but who was Luo Tao? Not only did he ept it well, but he was also very happy. He even chuckled and squeezed Mo Yan¡¯s hand. Mo Yan blushed and quickly pulled her hand away, murmuring, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Wife, I¡¯ll remember what you said. You can¡¯t go back on your words in future!¡± Mo Yan turned her face away and spoke to Xu Tian, ignoring him. Bang! Chopsticks were forcefully mmed onto a te. Mo Yan raised her eyebrows slightly. Was this ¡®Little Princess¡¯ going to fly into a rage? ¡°Ms. Mo, Ms. Mo, we know that you want to help your sister, but you just can¡¯t put down your dignity and speak a little more straightforwardly. Your sister doesn¡¯t understand you because she¡¯s not sensible. Don¡¯t be angry. Come, let¡¯s eat.¡± Mo Yan wanted to roll her eyes to the sky. Theseckeys were even worthy of mentioning her? They wanted to treat her as adder for the ¡®Little Princess¡¯ to step down from the stage? This really corresponded with the old saying that a person without shame is invincible! Chapter 225 - Treasured Husband Chapter 225 - Treasured Husband The few people thereforted Mo Lian, but the executives of Hong Jing didn¡¯t listen. The director took out his phone and handed it to Luo Tao. ¡°Mo Yan, you and Mr. Luo don¡¯t have to be so fearful of stocks. You can try a little and consider it an investment.¡± ¡°Since Mr. Luo is willing to help me, I won¡¯t let Mr. Luo suffer a loss. This is a stock that I¡¯m optimistic about. The market value has been rising recently. If you¡¯re worried, you can invest less and sell it when you earn.¡± ¡°The stock rmended by the director? Let me take a look too.¡± The supervisor of Group D interrupted. After the supervisor of Group D said that, he took out his phone and entered the stock market application. Luo Tao saw that he really took the phone and took a look at it. His gaze was fixed on the name of the stock. ¡°The stock of Soaring Industries?¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± Someone on Mo Lian¡¯s side had sharp ears. When he heard this name, he immediately became spirited and asked, ¡°Director He, you also bought that stock?¡± Director He nodded. The person who spoke exchanged nces with the others and said with a smile, ¡°We all bought that stock. The benefits are quite good.¡± ¡°Yeah! I¡¯m still thinking whether to invest more into it.¡± The few of them began to discuss this stock enthusiastically. The supervisors of B and D were also restless, wondering whether they should follow the trend and buy some. Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao, who had been staring at the phone screen silently. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s best to sell them all off before twelve.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± The person who had been speaking with Director He suddenly raised his voice. Luo Tao nced at him indifferently and didn¡¯t mention it a second time. ¡°This stock has been in the red since the opening of the market. It hasn¡¯t reached its peak yet. You can sell it as you wish!¡± Mo Lian said arrogantly as if she had caught Luo Tao making some mistake. ¡°A person who is ignorant and ipetent, who has been in prison, also knows about stocks? What an utter joke.¡± Mo Yan stared at Mo Lian and suddenly realized something. Mo Lian¡¯s current behavior was simr to that in primary school when a little boy liked a little girl ¡ª he would oppose her to attract her attention. Therefore, Mo Lian had taken a liking to Luo Tao. That¡¯s not right! Mo Lian also liked to belittle Luo Tao to suppress her. Why was that? Mo Yan stared at Mo Lian while Mo Lian stared at Luo Tao. Mo Yan rolled her eyes, pulled Luo Tao over abruptly, and kissed Luo Tao¡¯s lips. The sudden action stumped everyone, and the annoying taunts disappeared. Mo Yan understood. Mo Lian had indeed taken a liking to Luo Tao, but Luo Tao was already married to her and would protect her at all times, so Mo Lian was jealous and resentful. She could only belittle Luo Tao to tell herself how unbearable he was and to make her not regret missing out on him. Mo Yan saw all of this in the earlier kiss. Luo Tao chuckled and said to the person who refuted him, ¡°Believe it or not, it¡¯s up to you.¡± ¡°Mr. Luo, is there any basis for you to say that?¡± The director asked cautiously. ¡°Soaring Industries is in Jing City. You can pay attention to the recent news in Jing City.¡± Luo Tao was in a good mood and didn¡¯t mind saying a few words to the others. After receiving the exnation, the director quickly took out his phone to search for the hottest news in Jing City. He found almost all the news rted to the Huo family¡¯s fight for sovereignty. The director frowned in confusion, but the others started to argue first. ¡°There¡¯s no news about Soaring. Right now, the people in Jing city are all paying attention to the Huo family. You¡¯re just fooling around!¡± This time, Luo Tao did not exin further. Instead, he asked Mo Yan in a low voice whether she was full. Mo Yan touched her slightly protruding stomach and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± She was quite satisfied with the fish tonight. Fresh and tender fish without thorns was her favorite! ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s go!¡± Luo Tao stood up and walked to Mo Yan¡¯s left, carefully protecting her injured arm. Luo Tao inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xu Tian¡¯s phone beside Mo Yan. He paused and said, ¡°Sister Xu, if you want to invest, you can consider Zhen Yan Fang.¡± After saying that, Luo Tao left with Mo Yan. Chapter 226 - Discontented Chapter 226 - Discontented The next day, as soon as Mo Yan arrived at thepany, she received various looks from her colleagues. As soon as she sat down, she received a message from Li Guoguo. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, I heard that brother-inw knows a lot about stocks. Can you help me ask which stocks are better?¡± Mo Yan frowned. What was going on? However, this time, Mo Yan did not reply to the message. Instead, she called Xu Tian. ¡°Sister Xu, has anyone spread news about yesterday¡¯s meal?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Sister Xu¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Li Guoguo asked me to help her find out from Luo Tao which stocks are better.¡± Xu Tian was silent for a moment. Then, Mo Yan heard the sound of typing on the keyboard. After a moment, Xu Tian said, ¡°Group B¡¯s leader said that your husband is amazing. The stock of Soaring started to turn green at 12 o¡¯clockst night andpletely copsed at 7 o¡¯clock this morning.¡± Hearing this, Mo Yan could not help but be surprised. She thought that Luo Tao had just been making a Mo Yan did a web search for thetest news on Jing City, and the news instantly appeared that three companies were dering bankruptcy at the same time. Sister Xu heard Mo Yan gasping and chuckled, ¡°You saw it too.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Has the director¡¯s stock been sold?¡± Mo Yan asked. ¡°Yes. he made a lot of money from this and even said that he wanted to thank the both of you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Mo Yan let out a long sigh. Fortunately, the director had sold the stock. Otherwise, he would not be thanking them, but thinking of the stock whenever he saw them. ¡°By the way, Group B¡¯s leader also said your husband is handsome.¡± Mo Yan could hear the teasing tone in Xu Tian¡¯s words. She pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. ¡°Sister Xu, I¡¯m really not happy to hear this news.¡± Sister Xuughed and continued, ¡°Today, Mo Lian suddenly said that the meeting is off. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of what happenedst night.¡± ¡°I think it should be.¡± After hanging up, Mo Yan was a little annoyed. She really disliked people who casually discussed other people¡¯s affairs. Thinking of Li Guoguo¡¯s message, Mo Yan had no choice but to ask her into the office. The day before, prior to the end of work, CEO Song had had a meeting to announce that she had be the new supervisor of Group A. If it hadn¡¯t been for Mo Lian organizing a banquet, she would have invited all the members of the group to dinner that night. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, I¡¯m here!¡± Li Guoguo walked briskly to the chair opposite Mo Yan and sat down without waiting for Mo Yan to speak. Over the past two days, Li Guoguo had never been happier. Everyone in the office knew that she had a good rtionship with Mo Yan. Now that Mo Yan had been promoted to supervisor, she had also benefited a lot from it; those who usually ridiculed her for being a bottom performer all tiptoed around her. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°You¡­¡± Before Mo Yan could speak, Li Guoguo said, ¡°Sister Mo Yan, you don¡¯t even know that someone posted a screenshot of Group B¡¯s private group chat to our group in the middle of the night. The group exploded. In the screenshot, the Group B supervisor said that sister Mo Yan and brother-inw had scolded the general manager of Lotus Real Estate very badly. He also said that brother-inw predicted that the stock in the director¡¯s hands would fall, and in the end, it really did fall! This morning, I heard them talking about how the management of Lotus Real Estate had lost a lot of money.¡± Li Guoguo looked excited as she spoke. There was no room for Mo Yan to interject. ¡°How can brother-inw be so awesome! And handsome as well!¡± Mo Yan felt a little ufortable listening to Li Guoguo¡¯s words. Logically speaking, shouldn¡¯t she be happy that someone praised her husband? ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± After saying that, Mo Yan was ready to start working, but unexpectedly, Li Guoguo did not leave. Blinking her eyes at her, Li Guoguo distracted Mo Yan with her stare. Mo Yan raised her head and asked, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°Sister Mo Yan, can you help me ask brother-inw which stocks he is optimistic about?¡± Mo Yan frowned. ¡°He has been a little busy recently. Last night, he promised Director He that he would help him trante a Swedish novel.¡± ¡°Swedish novel?¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s eyes were wide with admiration. ¡°Brother-inw actually knows Swedish! This is too amazing! How about this? Sister Mo Yan, I¡¯ll treat you to dinner tonight. Can you please ask brother-inw to help me take a look at the stocks? I want to earn some extra money too!¡± The discontent in her heart was brewing. Mo Yan wondered if she was being jealous. This was not a good situation. ¡°I¡¯ll ask your brother-inw in a while if he¡¯s avable tonight.¡± ¡°Okay. If brother-inw agrees, sister Mo Yan, you can contact me at any time!¡± Chapter 227 - That Good? Chapter 227 - That Good? After Li Guoguo hummed a tune and left, Mo Yan was a little distracted. She really felt that she was a little strange. Why would she be jealous of Li Guoguo? ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not think about it. Work, work.¡± In the past two days, she had dyed a lot of work because of Mo Lian¡¯s meetings. She had yet to sort out a lot of information, and still had to wrap up the projects that the previous supervisor had been responsible for. At noon, someone suddenly knocked on the office door. ¡°Come in,¡± Mo Yan said without looking up. ¡°You¡¯re still working!¡± Hearing a familiar voice, Mo Yan raised her head. ¡°Oh! Why Is Beauty Xu here?¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°You didn¡¯t reply to my WeChat message. I thought you had disappeared!¡± Mo Yan casually picked up her phone. There was a message from Xu Wan asking if she would be going to the cafeteria to have her meal. ¡°What did you buy? It smells so good!¡± Only when she smelled the aroma of the food did Mo Yan realize that her stomach was growling with hunger. ¡°Crispy chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried shredded vegetables. Yes, there¡¯s also soup with sea cucumber, squid and dried bamboo shoots.¡± ¡°You bought so much? It can¡¯t be finished!¡± Mo Yan was surprised. ¡°Can¡¯t be finished. You packed it and took it away.¡± ¡°You¡¯re really good!¡± Mo Yan rolled her eyes at Xu Wan. A mouthful of soup entered her stomach. It was so delectable that Mo Yan craved even more. ¡°By the way, did you know about what happened this morning?¡± ¡°Are you talking about the stocks?¡± Xu Wan asked as she picked up a piece of pork rib. Mo Yan felt all her strength draining. She said listlessly, ¡°No way! It¡¯s even spread to the administrative department?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Your Luo Tao is really famous. Many people said to ask him to look at the stocks!¡± ¡°It was just by chance what he said really happened. Why is the rumor spreading so fiercely?¡± Mo Yan muttered softly. Xu Wan nced at her. Knowing that Mo Yan did not know anything about stocks, she exined, ¡°If it were other stocks, it wouldn¡¯t be a problem to say that. Do you know? Just the stock price of Soaring can go up to 137. If you buy at least 100 stocks at a time, that¡¯s 13,700. Last night, the stock price even rose to 160. Experts were predicting how far Soaring can grow. Who would have thought that Soaring¡¯s stock price would drop so much in a single night?¡± Thinking back to the sudden rise and fall of Soaring¡¯s stock price the night before, she still had a lingering fear. Although Mo Yan was confused, she felt that it was not a simple matter. ¡°And then?¡± ¡°And then? Then all the money in the hands of the shareholders would go down the drain! I wonder how many people were despairing and fainting from shockst night.¡± ¡°What about you? You didn¡¯t buy it, right?¡± ¡°Of course not! If I had bought it, would I still be in the mood to chat with you here?¡± Xu Wan¡¯s lips curled. Mo Yan was still a little puzzled. ¡°You still haven¡¯t told me why those people think Luo Tao is amazing.¡± ¡°Did you work till your brain has turned to mush?¡± Xu Wan poked Mo Yan on the forehead. ¡°The Soaring stock expert said that it was a sure thing. Moreover, it has been on the rise ever since it went public. Last night, it was at its peak. Only your Luo Tao could see that it would definitely fall. Don¡¯t you think your husband is amazing? Why couldn¡¯t you tell before that he had this skill?¡± After hearing Xu Wan¡¯s words, Mo Yan finally reacted. Although Luo Tao usually followed a lot of financial news, was he that good? If even an expert couldn¡¯t predict this, how could Luo Tao? Mo Yan was still doubtful and couldn¡¯t be sure. Then, she recalled the phone call two nights prior, and she felt a little uneasy. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Xu Wan waved her hand in front of Mo Yan. ¡°Nothing, I just didn¡¯t realize that Luo Tao knew these things.¡± ¡°Yeah! I really didn¡¯t expect it.¡± Xu Wan clicked her tongue. She thought that Mo Yan had married a good-for-nothing, but she didn¡¯t expect him to be so powerful. ¡°When I came over just now, I saw that the Head of Sales for Group D didn¡¯t look well. Did he buy it too?¡± Mo Yan shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. They chatted during dinnerst night. I wasn¡¯t interested and didn¡¯t really listen.¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Xu Wan rolled her eyes and said with a smile, ¡°Since your husband is so amazing, let him buy some for you. I¡¯ll buy what you do too.¡± ¡°You y stocks as well?¡± ¡°What do you mean by y? That¡¯s called investment! Working ss people like us have to make some extra ie, right? Do you know how much of Soaring¡¯s stock Director He bought?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°He invested five lots and sold it in time, earning a profit of 40,000.¡± ¡°40,000?¡± Mo Yan opened her mouth wide in surprise. Chapter 228 - Mo Lian Was Beaten up Chapter 228 - Mo Lian Was Beaten up ¡°This, this is really a huge profit!¡± ¡°Yeah! For me, I don¡¯t usually buy anything too expensive. I¡¯m satisfied just seeing that I can earn around 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.¡± Xu Wan nodded as she spoke. She was very clear about the stock market. ¡°Alright!¡± Mo Yan nodded, still not very interested. ¡°Think about it, give it a try!¡± Xu Wan continued to try drawing Mo Yan in. Mo Yan was exasperated by her. ¡°The stock market is too risky, I won¡¯t purchase any. But yesterday, Luo Tao said that you can take a look at apany called Zhen Yan Fang.¡± ¡°There¡¯s also the word ¡®Yan¡¯? It can¡¯t be that Luo Tao said it because he saw the word!¡± Xu Wan raised her eyebrows. ¡°What are you talking about! Luo Tao rmended this to sister Xu.¡± Although Luo Tao definitely didn¡¯t say it because of her name, she remembered it because of this word. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back and take a look.¡± ¡­ Mo Yan was having a good time, but Mo Lian was in deep trouble. With a bang, Mo Dong knocked Mo Lian to the ground, and an angry roar came from the living room, ¡°Mo Lian! I asked you to discuss a coboration with Hong Jing, what did you do?¡± ¡°I was discussing a coboration! Dad, did that little she-devil Mo Yan say something to you? Don¡¯t believe her, she¡¯s deliberately targeting our family!¡± Mo Lian wailed at Mo Dong as she shielded her swollen face, tears streaming down. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t you guys go to work?¡± Seeing that they were at the door, Chang Lu asked repeatedly as she ran out of the room upon hearing the noise. ¡°Look at the kind of daughter you have! Arrogant and domineering, unruly and willful. Not only has she been abusing her power in our ownpany, she even implicated anotherpany! Do you think they will indulge you?¡± ¡°Dad! I didn¡¯t.¡± Mo Lian gave an innocent look, as though she had been falsely used, but her heart was pounding non-stop. When she arrived at the office that morning, she saw her father rush into the office to receive a call. When he came out, he immediately brought her home. She thought that something may have gone wrong with Hong Jing, but she didn¡¯t expect her father to hit her as soon as they got home! Did Mo Yan reallyin to her father? Didn¡¯t she say that she would never contact her father again? This she-devil who went back on her word! ¡°You didn¡¯t? If you didn¡¯t, would the otherpany¡¯s boss give me a call?¡± ¡°Boss?¡± This time, Mo Lian was not pretending and really couldn¡¯tprehend it. ¡°Song Yun called and said that, for the past two days, you¡¯ve been asking Hong Jing¡¯s supervisors to serve tea and water, insulting their employees, and even using the project to coerce the supervisors to attend meetings. Tell me, did you do it?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Seeing Mo Dong¡¯s certainty, Mo Lian felt increasingly guilty. ¡°I didn¡¯t. They framed me.¡± Seeing her daughter¡¯s red and swollen cheeks and teary eyes, Chang Lu¡¯s heart ached. ¡°Hubby, how can you just listen to Hong Jing¡¯s one-sided story! Although Little Lian is a little conceited at home, when has she ever acted inappropriately outside? Otherwise, how can she make so many friends?¡± With Chang Lu¡¯s help, Mo Dong regained some of his rationality, but his eyes were still filled with anger as he stared at Mo Lian. ¡°Mo Lian, Tell me yourself, did you do those things?¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t do it.¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°Alright! Mo Lian, this is what you said. I¡¯ll confront Hong Jing¡¯s boss right now. Youe with me.¡± Mo Lian was already feeling guilty. If he confronted him, wouldn¡¯t she be exposed on the spot? She shook her head and went into Chang Lu¡¯s arms. ¡°I¡¯m not going. You¡¯ve beaten my face into such a state. I don¡¯t want to go out!¡± Mo Dong red fiercely at Mo Lian. ¡°Then you¡¯d better wait at home. I¡¯m going to Hong Jing to get an answer.¡± After saying that, Mo Dong mmed the door shut. It was not until she heard the sound of a car starting up outside the door that Chang Lu pulled her daughter out of her embrace and asked, ¡°Little Lian, did you really not do it?¡± Mo Lian turned her face away and kept her mouth shut. Seeing her attitude, Chang Lu knew that what Mo Dong had said was true. She knew her daughter too well. ¡°Little Lian, why did you do such a thing? Don¡¯t you know how much your father cares about this project? And you even made your father be embarrassed in front of the people from otherpanies. What are you thinking!¡± The dressing-down made Mo Lian feel even more wronged. She cried, ¡°Mom, I didn¡¯t want to! But I couldn¡¯t control myself! Once I saw Mo Yan¡¯s face, I wanted to stab her a hundred times.¡± Chapter 229 - Mo Dong Visits Chapter 229 - Mo Dong Visits ¡°Whichpany is Mo Yan in?¡± Chang Lu was surprised. ¡°Yes, she¡¯s in Hong Jing, and she¡¯s also one of the directors of the sales department.¡± Upon hearing Mo Lian¡¯s words, Chang Lu instantly understood why Mo Lian had lost her senses. Her daughter had embarrassed herself several times because of Mo Yan, and she had even been to the police station because of that little she-devil. There was no way Mo Lian would let that little she- devil go. Chang Lu sighed. ¡°Little Lian! Mom understands you, but things have to be arranged ording to the asion. Mo Yan is an employee there. You represent ourpany to discuss a coboration with others. At times like this, we have to do things by the book. If you go to anotherpany and vent your anger on their employee, even a boss wouldn¡¯t be able to tolerate it! Your father is always concerned with how he appears to others. How can he not be angry with you?¡± ¡°Mom, it¡¯s toote to talk about this now. What should I do? Dad will kill me when he returns!¡± Chang Lu thought for a moment and made a call. ¡°Xiao Li, book a flight ticket for Mo Lian to country M as soon as possible, and then book a hotel near a scenic area.¡± ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t¡­¡± Before Mo Lian could finish, Chang Lu red at her. ¡°A two o¡¯clock flight? Okay, that¡¯s it then.¡± Chang Lu hung up the phone and dragged Mo Lian upstairs to pack her clothes. ¡°Mom, I don¡¯t want to go abroad,¡± Mo Lian said, aggrieved. ¡°If you don¡¯t go abroad, do you want to wait for your father to beat you to death?¡± Chang Lu had only heard that her daughter was targeting Mo Yan, so she could guess how bad things had be. Her daughter was going to marry into a wealthy family in future, and it would not be good if Mo Dong disfigured her in a fit of anger. She knew Mo Dong¡¯s temper the best. When he was angry, he could be reckless. Before she married him, she had identally exposed her identity to Mo Dong¡¯s partner, leading to a breakdown in the partnership. That night, Mo Dong had beaten her to a pulp and she had needed to be admitted into the hospital. Even now, there was still a finger-length scar on her thigh. 1 After hearing Chang Lu¡¯s words, Mo Lian did not dare to disobey. She could only ask in a low voice when she could return. ¡°Wait for me to give you a call. Go to country M and temper your hotheadedness. This is a card with half a million. Buy whatever you want. Call me if it¡¯s not enough.¡± Seeing that her mother did not really want to punish her, Mo Lian instantly broke into a smile. She hugged Chang Lu¡¯s waist and acted coquettishly. ¡°That¡¯s enough! Hurry up and leave. When your fatheres back, you won¡¯t be able to do so.¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡­ Mo Yan did not expect to see Mo Dong at thepany. The two of them only caught a glimpse of each other before the elevator door closed. ¡°Huh? Isn¡¯t that your terrible father?¡± Xu Wan asked, astounded. Mo Yan was also momentarily shocked. Then, she understood that Mo Dong was here regarding the coboration. However, no matter how she looked at it, he did not look in the best of moods. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Don¡¯t call him my father in the future. He doesn¡¯t deserve it.¡± Xu Wan raised her eyebrows. ¡°Then what¡¯s his name?¡± ¡°Mo Dong, just call him by his name.¡± ¡°Are youpletely cutting off all ties with the Mo Family?¡± Xu Wan asked. ¡°I¡¯ve cut off all ties from the moment he refused to give me the dowry to save my mother. Otherwise, won¡¯t I just be waiting for him to make use of me when something happens? I even suspect that when he meets a son-inw that he doesn¡¯t want but has no choice about, he will force me to marry someone else.¡± ¡°Ew, is he that disgusting?¡± ¡°What does he do that is not disgusting.¡± As her best friend, Xu Wan was already privy to all the things about the Mo family that she should not know, so there was nothing that Mo Yan needed to keep from her. ¡°That¡¯s true. Cutting off ties is good. Without the Mo family, you are doing very well now.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± After going separate ways from Xu Wan, Mo Yan had just walked into the office when she was surrounded by a group of people. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, your husband is too amazing!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Sister Mo Yan, why didn¡¯t you tell us that you have such a good husband?¡± Mo Yan looked at the speaker speechlessly. Tell us? What could she say? She still remembered how they had told her that her husband was a gangster who had been in prison! ¡°Sister Mo Yan, I think the supervisor of Group B said that your husband is very handsome, even more so than a celebrity. Can we meet him one day?¡± ¡°Yes, Sister Mo Yan, you¡¯ve been promoted to supervisor. We haven¡¯t had a meal in celebration yet. One day, you can bring brother-inw to have a meal with us. We¡¯ll treat you.¡± Surrounded by a group of people, Mo Yan only felt that it was a terrible din. It was really the case that once she had been promoted, her seniority increased. Regardless of their age, they all addressed her respectfully. Chapter 230 - Threat Chapter 230 - Threat This bunch of people were really scheming. Some of them wanted to get close to her after she became a supervisor, some wanted Luo Tao to help them look at stocks, and some wanted to take the opportunity to ruin her reputation. Just like that, the woman who had earlier been showing off her diamond ring spoke up. ¡°Wow! She just became a supervisor and she¡¯s already putting on airs. Other people who get promoted to supervisor usually treat their subordinates to a meal, but when someone gets promoted to supervisor, she still gets her subordinates to treat her to a meal. This supervisor position, tsk tsk tsk.¡± These words suddenly came out of nowhere in the midst of the ttering words. It was truly shocking. One could pretend not to see it when someone was unwilling to tter their immediate superior when faced with them. However, this tant provocation showed that the person was really not afraid of being remembered by others in the future. The office instantly fell silent. Without a word, they made a path in the direction of the voice. They saw that the woman was still sitting and fiddling with her diamond ring. However, this time, the diamond ring seemed to be a little bigger than the previous one. ¡°Did I say that I would let others treat me?¡± Mo Yan asked indifferently. ¡°You acquiesced! I didn¡¯t see you refuse!¡± The woman still didn¡¯t look at Mo Yan. Mo Yan smiled lightly and walked step by step to the woman¡¯s side. The sudden pressure made the woman subconsciously raise her head, only to see that Mo Yan was already standing before her, lowering her head to look at her. ¡°You, what are you doing?¡± Mo Yan had a smile on her face, but the woman could see a bone-chilling coldness in her slightly lowered eyes. ¡°Acquiescence? Then if I say now that I want to p you, but you didn¡¯t answer, is that acquiescence?¡± Mo Yan asked gently, ¡°Can I p you?¡± With that, she raised her hand. The woman was scared silly by her action. She didn¡¯t react for two seconds before shouting, ¡°No!¡± However, Mo Yan¡¯s p was already iing. The office was dead silent. The woman covered her face tightly, but the ear-piercing p did note. Mo Yan¡¯s hand slowlynded on the woman¡¯s shoulder and patted it twice. ¡°What are you thinking about? This is office hours. Do you think I will hit you?¡± Mo Yan was still smiling. The woman put down her trembling hand and raised her head to look at Mo Yan. ¡°You, you.¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Mo Yan hugged the woman to cate her, whispering into the woman¡¯s ear, ¡°Be careful what you say in future! Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t do anything to you just because you transferred to Group D. it will take two days to go through the formalities! What if something goes wrong in the middle and you can¡¯t get through? Don¡¯t you think so?¡± The woman looked at Mo Yan in horror, as if Mo Yan was a man-eating devil. ¡°Alright! Everyone stop watching the show! It¡¯s time to get to work.¡± Mo Yan pped her hands to bring everyone back to their senses. ¡°Oh! Oh! It¡¯s time to get back to work. It¡¯s time to get to work.¡± ¡°I still have a client to see. Hurry up and punch in.¡± ¡°Me too. Wait for me. Let¡¯s go together.¡± Although they did not know what Mo Yan had done to the diamonddy, they could tell from that person¡¯s panicked expression that Mo Yan did not say anything nice. A few words were enough to suppress the person who wanted to cause trouble. It seemed that Mo Yan was really not the Mo Yan from before. The few people who were close to the diamond-wearingdy in the past surrounded the diamond- wearingdy and asked, ¡°What did Mo Yan say to you just now? I think I saw her mouth move.¡± Thinking of what Mo Yan had said, the diamond-wearingdy grew even more fearful. Only she and the supervisor knew that she had transferred to Group D. How did Mo Yan Know? Could it be that Mo Yan was also in contact with the supervisor of Group D? Then would she be targeted if she went? No matter how uneasy the diamond-wearingdy felt, Mo Yan was extremely happy. This time, she had made an example out of others. She was still thinking about how to suppress those under her, but that woman had just delivered it to her doorstep. In the office, Mo Yan hummed a little tune as she read through the documents. Previously, the few projects under Chen Ya were basically nearing the end. Back then, those people had signed a contract with Chen Ya because of Chen Jin, so when Chen Jin left, those people also expressed that they would not renew the contract ¡ª this saved Mo Yan a lot of trouble. The ideal course for a project was for the signatories to follow through from the beginning to the end. Halfway through the project, they would always encounter various problems, and the coboration between the two parties would not be pleasant. The current situation could not be better. It could be considered that Chen Ya did a good thing, but it could also be that the leader had deliberately dismissed Chen Ya at this time. Thinking of this, Mo Yan could not help but reveal a little fox-like smile. Chapter 231 - Change in Expression Chapter 231 - Change in Expression In Hong Jing¡¯s CEO¡¯s office, Mo Dong was looking at the video on his phone with a livid expression. Ear-piercing voices came from the phone. ¡°Director He, your Hong Jing employee is disrespectful to their guests! You still want to protect her? Do you not want to coborate anymore?¡± Upon hearing this, the veins on the hand that was holding the phone popped out. It was as though the force was going to be used to crush the phone. ¡°Mo Dong, you¡¯ve only watched the video of your daughter¡¯s first day in Hong Jing. I¡¯ve sent the subsequent videos to your phone. You can go back and watch it slowly.¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t know if this is your daughter¡¯s personal behavior, or if it¡¯s on your orders?¡± ¡°The coboration between Hong Jing and Mo Real Estate is based on equality and mutual benefit. If you think that Hong Jing is inferior to Mo Real Estate, then I think this coboration should end here!¡± Song Yun said with a cold expression. Mo Dong held the phone and took two deep breaths to calm himself down. He said to Song Yun in a calm tone, ¡°CEO Song, this time Mo Lian is in the wrong. But please believe me, CEO Song, I and Mo Real Estate have no intention of looking down on Hong Jing.¡± ¡°I think CEO Song already knows about the rtionship between Mo Lian and Mo Yan. Mo Lian only has a personal grudge against Mo Yan, not against Hong Jing.¡± Song Yun sneered. ¡°Personal grudge? Then I wonder what Director Mo means by appointing your daughter, who will mix personal feelings with work, to be the project manager? To let her head this coboration to hone her skills?¡± Song Yun¡¯s words were merciless. Not to mention that Hong Jing was developing rapidly, their ie from this project was not high to begin with. The main purpose was to establish a connection with Mo Real Estate, but it seemed that there was no need for that now. What Hong Jing wanted was a win-win coboration, not to develop Hong Jing in the direction of being Mo Real Estate¡¯s ¡®subsidiarypany¡¯. Mo Dong was mortified and humiliated by Song Yun¡¯s ridicule. Normally, the princes and princesses of legitimatepanies would mostly listen and learn from the side if they wanted to participate in arge coborative project between twopanies. Only when they were faced with apany that was of a much lower level than their own would they treat coboration as a practice, holding important positions without much experience, so Mo Dong¡¯s attitude was really suspicious. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. On the first day that Mo Lian had arrived, Song Yun had been observing her working style and her attitude towards coboration. Song Yun herself had never had the experience of building apany from the ground up. She would not use experience to measure a person, but she valued ability. You could becking in experience, but as a project manager, you had to show your ability as a leader. As Mo Dong had said, Song Yun knew that Mo Lian and Mo Yan did not get along, so she did not appear when Mo Lian made things difficult for Mo Yan on the first day. But from the second day onwards, she knew that this Mo Lian was not just targeting Mo Yan. Mo Lian was very confident. Hong Jing would definitely take on this coboration, so after the various sales managers hade up with their respective sales ns, they still did not make a choice. Instead, they let the various sales managers apany them daily. This aloof appearance made Song Yun inevitably get angry. She had been in the business world for some time and was not tempted by personal gains and losses. ¡°CEO Song, this time, it¡¯s my fault for not thinking properly. I hope CEO Song can forgive this mistake. Regarding the coboration, I will send someone to renegotiate. Mo Real Estate will give 3% of the project¡¯s profits aspensation this time.¡± For Mo Dong to be able to reach his current position, other than having people to help him, there was also his character of being flexible. This kind of shameless attitude was precisely his key to survival in the business world. Many people thought that he was being sincere, but of course, this was only on the surface. However, Song Yun did not know at this time. Seeing that Mo Dong did not defend his daughter and was willing to bear all the mistakes, the anger in Song Yun¡¯s heart lessened quite a bit. Later, seeing that he took the initiative to provide benefits, she could not say anything more. She could only wait for someone else toe and appraise it before making a decision. Song Yun saw Mo Dong to his private car. A second ago, Mo Dong was smiling and asking Song Yun not to send him off, but the next moment, he had closed the car window and changed his expression. ¡°Song Yun, who do you think you are? How dare you mock me? When I established Mo Real Estate, it¡¯s not even clear where you were working! How dare you talk about equality with me? Whore!¡± The driver was already used to Mo Dong¡¯s sudden change of expression. No matter what he heard, he pretended not to hear it. ¡°Go home.¡± ¡°Yes, Director Mo.¡± Chapter 232 - Did Not Want to See Her Chapter 232 - Did Not Want to See Her In the next few days, Mo Yan found that she was much more rxed. It was not because her workload had decreased, but because she did not have Mo Lian around to torment her or call for meetings daily. Mo Dong had sent other people to discuss the Mo Real Estate project, and finally decided to let Team D take over. Just as Mo Yan had gotten up and gone to search by the bookcase for information, a knock suddenly came on the ss door. ¡°Come in.¡± Mo Yan turned and saw Li Guoguo holding the door and sticking her head in. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, are you busy?¡± Seeing that it was Li Guoguo, Mo Yan couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Come in and tell me.¡± Li Guoguo chuckled. Without waiting for Mo Yan to speak, she ran to the sofa and sat down. She unceremoniously picked up a tangerine from the te of fruits and started peeling it. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, it¡¯s almost noon. Do you want to go to the cafeteria or eat outside?¡± Mo Yan nced at her and said, ¡°The cafeteria. I have an appointment with sister Xu.¡± ¡°Oh, oh! Then I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Seeing that she didn¡¯t make any move to leave, Mo Yan asked, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Li Guoguo stuffed the remaining two pieces of tangerines into her mouth. She jogged to the chair opposite Mo Yan and sat down. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, have you asked brother-inw about what I told you before?¡± ¡°He¡¯s been busy recently and doesn¡¯t have the time.¡± Mo Yan said as she marked out the information she needed. ¡°Even if he¡¯s busy, it¡¯s not like he doesn¡¯t have time for a meal! Sister Mo Yan, help me ask brother-in- law out! I really want to ask him about the stocks.¡± ¡°Investing in stocks is risky. If you don¡¯t have any savings, I don¡¯t rmend touching that.¡± ¡°Sigh! Brother-inw is the god of stocks! Let him help me take a look before I make a purchase. Then I won¡¯t make a loss.¡± ¡°It was coincidental that he hit the nail on the head. Don¡¯t throw the words ¡°god of stocks¡± around carelessly.¡± ¡°Sister Mo Yan, I¡¯m begging you!¡± Li Guoguo saw that Mo Yan was still unmoved. She couldn¡¯t help but get up and run to Mo Yan¡¯s side, acting coquettishly. Mo Yan sighed. ¡°Guoguo, you don¡¯t know anything about it and only know how to rely on others. In the end, it won¡¯t work. Let¡¯s not talk look too far back into the past. Just looking at what happened these few days. Do you know how many investors lost their hard-earned money in Soaring¡¯s bankruptcy? Do you also want to be like them?¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°That¡¯s why I asked brother-inw to have a look at it for me! Sister Mo Yan, I¡¯m begging you. I¡¯m really not greedy. I just want to earn some pocket money by myself. You know that my performance in the company has always been bad. I just want to earn more so that I don¡¯t have to ask for money from my parents anymore.¡± Mo Yan had always yielded more easily to the soft approach. With Li Guoguo begging her like this, she really couldn¡¯t refuse. She could only say that she would go back and ask Luo Tao. After Li Guoguo had left, Mo Yan didn¡¯t even want to eat anymore. She didn¡¯t know when it started, but she didn¡¯t really want to see Li Guoguo. She had an inexplicable feeling. Mo Yan sent a message to Xu Tian that she wouldn¡¯t go to eat, so she stayed in the office for some time. After a while, there was another knock on the door. Mo Yan thought it was Li Guoguo again, so she covered her ears and pretended not to hear it. ¡°Mo Yan, open the door. It¡¯s Xu Tian.¡± ¡°Sister Xu?¡± Mo Yan ran over and unlocked the door. Xu Tian brought the packed food to Mo Yan. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t you eating?¡± Mo Yan sighed listlessly. ¡°Sister Xu, why didn¡¯t you go to the cafeteria? Didn¡¯t Li Guoguo want to eat together?¡± Xu Tian chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s fine even if I don¡¯t go. There are plenty of people who want to eat with her now.¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve never been close to others and are considered close to Li Guoguo. With your promotion, if they can¡¯t get close to you, they¡¯ll look for Li Guoguo.¡± Xu Tian pushed the lunchbox in front of Mo Yan, but Mo Yan didn¡¯t pick it up. She rested her face against the table. ¡°Sister Xu, I realized that I really don¡¯t want to see Li Guoguo now. Why do you think that is?¡± ¡°What happened recently?¡± Mo Yan thought for a moment and told her about Li Guoguo wanting Luo Tao to help her look at stocks. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I said that Luo Tao is busy and I will ask him when he is free.¡± Mo Yan was not deceiving Li Guoguo. She did ask, but once she got home, she saw Luo Tao typing in front of theputer. asionally, she saw him on theputer either tranting books or reading financial news, or chatting with others. The tacit understanding between her and Luo Tao was that they would not invade each other¡¯s privacy. It was probably formed when they first got married. Chapter 233 - Listen to His Wife Chapter 233 - Listen to His Wife That was the previous night, before they went to bed. After showering, Luo Tao¡¯s body was enveloped in the fragrance of shower gel. She was lying on hisp watching dramas on her phone while he was watching the financial news on TV. In the past two days, the news was mostly about threepanies in Jing City going bankrupt simultaneously. Some said that foreign influences wanted to intervene in Z country¡¯s market, others said that it was thepetitors¡¯ viciouspetition, and yet others said that the matter was rted to the Huo family. In short, there were many different opinions, and no one had definitive proof about it. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. Luo Tao changed the channel. The screen was showing the recent changes in the stock market, and there was amentator exining it at the side. Mo Yan nced at the television and suddenly remembered Li Guoguo¡¯s request. ¡°Luo Tao, do you have time recently? Li Guoguo wants to treat you to a meal.¡± ¡°Li Guoguo?¡± Luo Tao didn¡¯t know who it was for a moment. ¡°You¡¯ve seen her in Jing City before. She¡¯s shorter than me, and she¡¯s quite cute.¡± Luo Tao had no idea what Mo Yan meant by cute. However, he did remember a few people who were shorter than Mo Yan. ¡°Well, why does she want to treat me to a meal?¡± Luo Tao asked. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask Director He to sell off his Soaring shares? Director He listened to your words and sold them. Not only did he not lose money, but he also made a fair sum. Everyone in thepany said that you¡¯re a god of stocks, so Li Guoguo also wants you to help her take a look. Do you want to go?¡± After saying that, Mo Yan put down her phone and looked up at Luo Tao. Luo Tao stroked Mo Yan¡¯s hair and asked, ¡°Do you want me to go?¡± Mo Yan pouted unhappily. ¡°I¡¯m obviously asking you, why are you asking me back?¡± ¡°How I n my time naturally requires my wife to make the decisions.¡± Luo Tao said as he kissed Mo Yan¡¯s smooth forehead. Mo Yan¡¯s face was slightly red as she turned her head to the side. ¡°I, I don¡¯t really want you to go.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Mo Yan thought for a moment and answered, ¡°The stock market changes rapidly. This time, you were right about Director He¡¯s stock, but not necessarily the next time. Even if you were right the next time, what about in the future? More and more people are looking for you. It¡¯s hard to guarantee that there won¡¯t be any mistakes. Just like Soaring¡¯s stock, many experts have failed.¡± ¡°Wife, don¡¯t you believe me?¡± Luo Tao asked with a smile in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you, but I don¡¯t want you to take unnecessary risks. Don¡¯t look too far back. Just this time, many people will lose money because of the changes in the stock market. If they can¡¯t find a scapegoat, they can only curse those analysts. I don¡¯t want the person I like to be scolded like this one day. My heart will ache.¡± Even though he had guessed Mo Yan¡¯s thoughts, Luo Tao still wanted her to say it so that he would be at ease. Ever since Huo Yu had said those words to him, he would be woken up every time he slept alone. He would dream of Mo Yan saying that she was not his wife and that she was leaving. At that time, he would quietly open the door, and would only be at ease when he saw Mo Yan still sleeping soundly in the room. ¡°Wife, you said that everyone in yourpany calls me god of stocks. Then don¡¯t you want me to help you buy some stocks? You wouldn¡¯t scold me even if I said something wrong. If I¡¯m not wrong, it can also increase the ie of the family.¡± Mo Yan reached out to pinch Luo Tao¡¯s cheek. The delicate touch in her hand made her pinch turn into a touch, a caress. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to increase our ie in this way. I don¡¯t know whether you¡¯re really a god of stocks. I just know that life is pretty good right now. The two of us work hard and getzy together after work. I don¡¯t want to worry about the stocks closing high or low, being in the red or green. If you were to really trade stocks, how would you have time to give me attention?¡± Luo Tao chuckled. ¡°Stocks aren¡¯t as important as you. Even if it¡¯s the stock market, I wouldn¡¯t ignore you. However, since my wife said not to do it, then I won¡¯t do it. Just don¡¯tin that I don¡¯t make enough in the future.¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± Mo Yan pinched Luo Tao¡¯s cheeks with both hands. ¡°When I married you, I didn¡¯t think that you didn¡¯t have enough money. Money can be slowly earned. Who I marry is the most important!¡± Luo Tao looked into Mo Yan¡¯s glittering ck eyes. Those beautiful eyes seemed to reflect only his figure, and she, too, belonged to him alone. This feeling of being in full possession of another made Luo Tao¡¯s heart beat wildly. ¡°Being able to marry you is my greatest fortune.¡± Luo Tao¡¯sst words fell between their lips¡­ Chapter 234 Chapter 234 ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t want him to go, right?¡± Xu Tian said with certainty, causing Mo Yan to blink herrge eyes at her. ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t want Luo Tao to go. I¡¯m afraid that Guoguo will me us if she loses money due to the purchase of the wrong stocks. But today, she came to beg me again. She said that she just wanted to get some pocket money, so she won¡¯t get too involved.¡± Mo Yan picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. The dishes that Xu Tian had ordered were all items that she often ate in the cafeteria, and she hadn¡¯t expected that sister Xu would remember them. ¡°How did she say it? Learn from me.¡± Xu Tian picked up a piece of carrot and ced it in Mo Yan¡¯s bowl. Seeing the red carrot waving at her, Mo Yan¡¯s face fell. She really didn¡¯t like carrots. ¡°Carrots aid in recovery of the bones. Don¡¯t be picky.¡± Mo Yan endured the difort and swallowed a small piece of carrot. She listlessly repeated what Li Guoguo said to Xu Tian and then spoke about Xu Wan, who also hoped that Luo Tao would buy some stocks for Mo Yan, and Xu Wan could then follow suit. After listening to Mo Yan¡¯s narration, Xu Tian lowered her eyes and nodded. ¡°Then what are you going to do now?¡± Xu Tian asked. ¡°If it really cannot be helped, we¡¯ll meet once! She trusts Luo Tao so much, why don¡¯t we let Luo Tao directly persuade her and tell her the dangers of being addicted to the stock market?¡± ¡°That¡¯s fine too. When are you going?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I still have to call Luo Tao again to ask about the time.¡± ¡°Okay, then let me know when the time is set. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s jaw dropped in surprise. ¡°Huh? Sister Xu, you¡¯re also interested in these things!¡± Xu Tian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t be interested if there¡¯s money to be made?¡± Mo Yan smacked her lips twice. Alright! Sister Xu was right. There was no one who wasn¡¯t interested in making money, except for silly people like her. In the afternoon, Mo Yan gave Luo Tao a call. The time was set for that night. Although it was a littlest-minute, it was better to get it over and done with! She really couldn¡¯t bear Li Guoguo¡¯s harassment any longer. When Mo Yan told Li Guoguo about this news, Li Guoguo almost jumped up. She even specially emphasized that she shouldn¡¯t tell others about this matter. However, Li Guoguo smiled at her and said, ¡°Of course I won¡¯t tell others! Brother-inw is so handsome. What if others see him and have him in their sights?¡± Hearing this, Mo Yan felt that something was not right, but she still could not figure it out. When it was time to get off work, Mo Yan was pulled out of the office by Li Guoguo, catching the attention of a group of colleagues. Previously, because of Mo Lian, she had had to work overtime almost daily, only leaving once the office area was empty. This was the first time she had been able to leave on the dot. Just as she reached the door, Li Guoguo met two people she did not expect to see. ¡°Sister Xu? Sister Xu Wan? Why are you here?¡± Xu Wan smiled, ¡°I heard that Mo Yan will go out for dinner with her husband tonight. I¡¯ll follow and be a third wheel. I also want to see if this legendary god of stocks is really that amazing.¡± ¡°What about Sister Xu? Are you also asking brother-inw to have a look at the stocks?¡± Li Guoguo asked. Before Mo Yan said anything, Li Guoguo had already questioned the two of them. ¡°Of course, why not if there¡¯s money to be made?¡± After saying that, Xu Tian and Xu Wan looked at each other and smiled, causing Mo Yan to raise her eyebrows. When did these two be so familiar with each other? ¡°Ah! So many people!¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s tone was obviously depressed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t really let you treat us. Tonight, your brother-inw and I will treat you. It can be considered a small gathering.¡± Mo Yan smiled andforted her. ¡°No, I won¡¯t talk about this anymore. I can treat you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Yan was puzzled, but Li Guoguo didn¡¯t give an answer. In the elevator, Li Guoguo was very quiet. Mo Yan and Xu Tian talked about the Mo Real Estate project. In fact, Mo Yan had initially thought that Mo Real Estate would choose Xu Tian. After all, from the first version of the n outline, Xu Tian¡¯s sales department had considered it moreprehensively. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Sister Xu, what do you think of Group D¡¯s n?¡± ¡°It¡¯s more conservative and suitable for apany like Mo Real Estate that has been established for a long time.¡± ¡°I feel the same way. I originally thought that they would choose a new model¡­ but if it¡¯s that kind of n, why would they choose ourpany? I don¡¯t quite understand. Could it be that they¡¯re interested in ourpany¡¯s low share?¡± Xu Tian shook her head. In fact, she had the same thoughts as Mo Yan. She thought that Mo Real Estate wanted to introduce a new sales model, but the result surprised her. Chapter 235 - Belongs with Me Chapter 235 - Belongs with Me Just as she reached the door, Mo Yan saw Luo Tao waiting for her. He was wearing a shirt and pants that day. He looked like he was 22 or 23 years old. With striking looks and a height of 1.8 meters, he could easily attract attention by simply standing there. Mo Yan quickly ran to Luo Tao to scare him, but unexpectedly, she saw him look dotingly at her when she was only halfway there. ¡°Ah! He¡¯s really handsome!¡± At some point in time, their colleagues had caught up with them, and the one who had made the exmation was the first girl to exit. Mo Yan stopped in her tracks, suddenly feeling a little shy. The others arrived downstairs one after the other, along with the sound of chattering. Luo Tao wore a frosty expression as he fixed his eyes on a girl who had taken out her phone to take a photo. She was startled and quickly put away her phone and left. Mo Yan also noticed this, so she held Luo Tao¡¯s arm and walked to the front of the crowd. ¡°I hope everyone doesn¡¯t take photos! If the photos get out, you¡¯ll be questioned by the police! And this person belongs with me! I¡¯ll be jealous if photos are taken without permission.¡± The first sentence was threatening, and thest was teasing. Although she appeared to be using a joking tone, they were all adults, so they knew what was permissible ¡ª the few who had secretly taken photos of Luo Tao deleted them. ¡°Where are we going to eat?¡± Luo Tao asked with a smile. ¡°Barbecue! I want to eat barbecue! I haven¡¯t eaten it for a long time!¡± Xu Wan answered first. Mo Yan thought about it and nodded. She, too, hadn¡¯t eaten it for some time. ¡°Barbecue is smoky. The clothes of sister Mo Yan and brother-inw will be soiled easily. Why not have western food instead!¡± Hearing Li Guoguo¡¯s words, Mo Yan subconsciously looked at their clothes. She was wearing a white shirt and a short ck skirt. Together with Luo Tao¡¯s white shirt and ck trousers, they actually appeared to be wearing a couple¡¯s outfit. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°It¡¯s okay, our clothes are easy to wash. If you want to eat barbecue, then let¡¯s eat that!¡± ¡°You¡¯re making me want to eat too.¡± Xu Tian pushed up her sses. After deciding where to go, they headed straight to their destination. The barbecue eatery was chosen by Xu Wan. She had always been familiar with all kinds of food in C City. After ordering, Mo Yan and Xu Tian continued their earlier conversation. Meanwhile, Xu Wan and Luo Tao picked up their phones and started typing. Only Li Guoguo peeked at Luo Tao from time to time. When Luo Tao saw her, she pretended that she wasn¡¯t looking at him. ¡°Luo Tao, what are you busy with!¡± After chatting with Xu Tian, Mo Yan turned to Luo Tao. She spoke before she got close to Luo Tao. If he had been looking at something that he didn¡¯t want her to see, he could simply turn it off. However, he directly passed the phone to Mo Yan. ¡°Stocks?¡± ¡°Yes, have a look.¡± Luo Tao took back his phone, and Mo Yan leaned over as well, resting on him bonelessly. ¡°You can understand this series of lines and bunch of squares?¡± ¡°The red line is the positive line, which means the closing price is higher than the opening price, and the green line is the negative line, which means the closing price is lower than the opening price. There are also the upper shadow, lower shadow, and solid lines.¡± Luo Tao¡¯s voice flowed slowly like a stream, but Mo Yan couldn¡¯tprehend it. Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao cluelessly. Luo Tao also felt helpless, and he gently smiled and rubbed Mo Yan¡¯s head. ¡°You don¡¯t understand? Then I won¡¯t talk about it.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan nodded obediently. Mo Yan and Luo Tao seemed to be enveloped by some kind of aura, so no one else could interrupt them. They made a face at Xu Wan, who could only gaze at the people opposite her with a wistful look. Xu Tian poured herself a cup ofplimentary tea and filled the others¡¯ cups. Then, she slowly picked up the teacup and started to blow on it. However, her slightly drooping eyes were filled with relief. And Li Guoguo¡¯s expression was a little intriguing. Expressionlessly, she stared intently at them glued together, as if to stare a hole through them. The slightly awkward atmosphere was broken only when the waiter served dishes to the table. As soon as the meat was ced on the grilling grate, a sizzling sound was heard. Soon, the aroma of the meat drifted towards Mo Yan, almost causing her to drool. The grills were covered with food, which whetted the appetite. Mo Yan and Xu Wan eyed a piece of barbecued meat at the same time; two pairs of chopsticks caught the meat slices. Chapter 236 Chapter 236 ¡°Greedy cat, I have my eyes on this meat,¡± Xu Wan was the first to speak. ¡°You speak as though you¡¯re not greedy. I have my eyes on this meat as well. Let go of it,¡± Mo Yan stuck out her tongue at Xu Wan. ¡°Hey! You¡¯re only left with one hand, and you still want to snatch the meat from me! What a glutton!¡± ¡°So you¡¯re aware that I¡¯m injured? Then hurry and leave the meat!¡± Just as the two of them were staring at each other, a piece of perfectly-roasted meat was ced on Mo Yan¡¯s te. ¡°Eat this.¡± Mo Yan sniffed at the fragrant piece of meat and answered obediently, ¡°Okay.¡± Xu Wan turned to Xu Tian with a wooden expression. ¡°Sister Xu, I feel that I¡¯m full. I¡¯m stuffed with dog food.¡± ¡°Oh? So you¡¯re not going to eat it? You can give it to me,¡± Xu Tian said bluntly. Xu Wan red at Xu Tian. ¡°It was not easy to snatch this away, so I won¡¯t give it to you.¡± Xu Tian found Xu Tian¡¯s act of fooling around funny, and her usual aloof expression eased up. ¡°Enough! Even eating can¡¯t stop your mouth,¡± Xu Tian said as she picked up a piece of meat for Xu Wan. ¡°Thank you, sister Xu.¡± The four of them were having a lively conversation. Xu Tian was roasting meat for Xu Wan, while Luo Tao was doing the same for Mo Yan. For some reason, they began topare themselves. It was not long before Mo Yan¡¯s and Xu Wan¡¯s tes were filled with meat. Just when Mo Yan was about to say that it was enough, Li Guoguo spoke up. ¡°Brother-inw, can you help me roast a few slices of sweet potato?¡± Mo Yan had been eating happily and had forgotten about Li Guoguo. Looking at the small te of meat, Mo Yan felt a little guilty. She quickly put the sweet potato slices in front of Li Guoguo and ced a few on the grilling grate. ¡°I¡¯ll bake it for you, Guoguo.¡± Just then, Li Guoguo asked about the stocks. ¡°Brother-inw, can you help me to see which stocks are doing better recently? I¡¯d also earn a little extra money.¡± ¡°Which stocks do you have in mind?¡± Luo Tao asked. ¡°I think the outlook is better for Senhua, Qingyu and Lemon.¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at Luo Tao and spoke eloquently. Although Mo Yan did not understand her analysis, she still felt that it made sense. Luo Tao didn¡¯t interrupt her analysis, which gave Li Guoguo a lot of courage. She started to speak up more. After Li Guoguo finished her analysis, she looked at Luo Tao with sparkling eyes and waited for him to give her his evaluation. Luo Tao was silent for a while and frowned slightly. ¡°I want to know your opinion on these stocks. I¡¯m listening to the suggestions of the analysts online.¡± As soon as he said this, Li Guoguo¡¯s face turned pale. The other three people also looked enlightened. It turned out that Li Guoguo¡¯s earlier words were the suggestions of the analysts. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Luo Tao nced at his phone and said to Mo Yan, ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After Luo Tao left, Mo Yan sighed. ¡°Guoguo, the stock market is really not as simple as you think. You can¡¯t just blindly follow the advice of others and specte in the stock market on your own.¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s face was ashen and looked as though she had not heard Mo Yan speak. Xu Tian and Xu Wan were calm and silent. ¡°Let¡¯s not look too far back in the past. The sh crash 10 years ago and the stock market crash five years ago. Since you want to specte in the stock market, you have to understand a little about it.¡± ¡°I, I need to go to the washroom.¡± After saying that, Li Guoguo flew from her seat. Mo Yan sighed. ¡°The stock market incident this time is really not a good thing.¡± Xu Wan rolled her eyes at Mo Yan. ¡°You still have the heart to care about her! You don¡¯t even know that someone has her eyes on your husband. Be more careful!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Yan looked at Xu Wan in confusion. ¡°Using the excuse of stocks to meet your husband, do you really think she wants to buy stocks?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mo Yan frowned. ¡°Think about it! If this Li Guoguo really just wants to earn pocket money, she could do what I did and let your husband buy it for you, and then purchase the same stocks. Why would she pester you to ask your husband toe out after you¡¯ve repeatedly rejected her?¡± Xu Wan rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue. ¡°No way! Isn¡¯t Li Guoguo in a rtionship? He even said that he would take her out to have fun.¡± ¡°They broke up. I heard that they broke up after they had a fight,¡± Xu Tian replied calmly. ¡°There are so many men. I¡¯m already married to Luo Tao. There¡¯s no need for me to think about my husband.¡± ¡°That¡¯s just empty talk. When theye backter, count how many times she peeks at your husband.¡± Chapter 237 Chapter 237 Hearing what Xu Wan had said, Mo Yan felt her heart sink. Xu Wan was right. At that moment, Li Guoguo had stopped Luo Tao in front of the washroom. ¡°Brother-inw, I¡¯m sorry. I shouldn¡¯t have told you what I heard. I just wanted to show my best self in front of you and sister Mo Yan.¡± Li Guoguo raised her head. Her reddened eyes reflected his handsome face, and a pitiful expression was painted on her face. ¡°Show your best self?¡± Luo Tao said lightly. ¡°Yes, yes! Girls always want to show their good side in front of the person they like.¡± When Li Guoguo said this, she lowered her head slightly, but it was unclear whether or not her slightly flushed face was intentionally revealed to the man. ¡°I¡¯m very happy that you like Mo Yan, but I feel that you¡¯re not suitable to trade in the stock market. Don¡¯t interfere casually in something you don¡¯t understand. Otherwise, who knows when you¡¯ll fall into a bottomless abyss.¡± After saying this, Luo Tao didn¡¯t give Li Guoguo any chance to defend herself. He turned to the side and left. ¡°Luo Tao? Why are you alone? Where¡¯s Guoguo?¡± Mo Yan asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t see her.¡± Luo Tao said and wrapped a meat roll with lettuce for Mo Yan. ¡°I have enough. I¡¯m full!¡± Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao helplessly. Luo Tao smiled and said, ¡°Eat more and your arm will recover quickly.¡± Li Guoguo was not experienced to begin with. Luo Tao could see through her thoughts at a nce. It was only because she was Mo Yan¡¯s friend that he chose not to embarrass her! After that, Li Guoguo called Mo Yan and said that she was not feeling well, so she would go back first. Mo Yan expressed her concern. Seeing that Li Guoguo did not want to say anything more, she did not probe further. In the following two days, Li Guoguo kept requesting for leave, which made Mo Yan feel a lot better. ¡­ In Jing City, Huo Yu acted quickly. Within a few days, she convinced her grandfather and the Qin family to agree to their marriage. Then, she flew back to C City to capture Qin Yuan and order him to get married. Luo Tao had received the news that Huo Yu wasing to C City. ¡°Brother Huo! You really screwed me up! How are you going to make it up to me?¡± Luo Tao came to Qin Yuan¡¯s ce that day to listen to the work report. He did not expect that, as soon as he arrived, he would be grabbed by Qin Yuan and have to listen to hisints. ¡°Make up for what? It¡¯s your good fortune that my sister is willing to marry you.¡± Luo Tao said as he typed quickly on theputer. ¡°Bah! Do you want this good fortune?¡± Qin Yuany lifelessly on the sofa. He had heard that Huo Yu¡¯s flight was at three o¡¯clock that afternoon. He was going to see that she-devil again. ¡°I can¡¯t afford it.¡± After saying that, Luo Tao directly made a voice call to Wen Ze. ¡°Is there a problem with the acquisition?¡± ¡°Yes, an unknown entity had acquired a lot of scattered stocks some time ago. We only found out recently and are a little jittery about it.¡± Luo Tao pondered for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t make any moves. First, find out who is on the other side.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Regarding Jing City, Second Uncle is certain about making a move against Third Uncle?¡± Luo Tao asked. ¡°ording to the information we have so far, Second Master has the intention to do so. There is an 80% probability of Second Master being the one behind Soaring¡¯s bankruptcy.¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. ¡°What¡¯s the remaining 20%?¡± ¡°It¡¯s very well hidden. We haven¡¯t sent people to investigate yet.¡± ¡°Yes, we¡¯ll focus on the acquisition. Jing City can be put aside for now.¡± ¡°Okay, brother Huo.¡± Qin Yuan saw Luo Tao hang up the phone. He sat up straight and said seriously, ¡°Do you still need funds for the acquisition? If so, I still have some over here.¡± ¡°No need, it¡¯s not a matter of funds.¡± What the other party wanted was still unknown, so they could not attack rashly. ¡°Alright! If you need it, just let me know.¡± Qin Yuan knew that he could not be of much help now, so he did not further trouble him. ¡°Okay,¡± Luo Tao answered casually. Seeing that Luo Tao had started to use words to get a reaction from him again, Qin Yuan rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Huo Zhen, how about this? Since the marriage between the Qin and Huo families is already a reality, why don¡¯t you tell Huo Yu to put off the engagement until you return to Jing City? That would be great.¡± Luo Tao nced at him indifferently. ¡°The date has been confirmed; just because you want to, you can change it just like that? If you dare to mention it, I¡¯m afraid Uncle Qin will skin you alive.¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m asking you to say it! Just say that I¡¯m ignorant and idle. Wait until I can be managed properly before going ahead with the engagement.¡± ¡°Ha! You have an urate understanding of yourself.¡± Chapter 238 Chapter 238 Qin Yuan choked after hearing Luo Tao¡¯s words. ¡°I¡¯m just asking if you can do it!¡± ¡°No.¡± The word was said cleanly, not giving Qin Yuan any opportunity to make him go back on his words. Qin Yuan wailed, ¡°Huo Zhen pushed his brother into the fire pit. Does it really not hurt your conscience?¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s unwilling attitude made Luo Tao curious. What did Huo Yu do to Qin Yuan that made him so traumatized. ¡°Your engagement with Huo Yu was only a temporary measure. Why are you not willing to go ahead with the marriage?¡± Luo Tao asked, stopping what he was doing. Hearing Luo Tao ask about this, Qin Yuan was no longer lifeless but had nothing left to live for. Back then, he and Huo Yu dated for a period of time. At that time, he was annoyed by his father urging him to get married and ran abroad at the slightest disagreement. He used to have a good rtionship with Huo Yu, so he directly went to be her neighbor. They were both at the age where hormones were raging. As time passed, they couldn¡¯t recall who fell first, but the attractive duo soon developed feelings for each other and ended up together. Huo Yu was a bright and mboyant girl. Her love was red-hot, like a ball of fire, burning with passion for the other party. At that time, Qin Yuan was at an age of uncertainty. Although he liked her, he did not reject the advances of other girls. Perhaps it was a man¡¯s dream to be surrounded by women, but a girl wanted only The One. In the end, Qin Yuan paid the price for his immaturity and lost the girl who was devoted to him. A woman had designs on him and he almost had sex with her. Even though it turned out that nothing had happened between them, Huo Yu had already lost her trust in him. When the two of them were dating, they did not let their friends or rtives know about it, so they broke up quietly. In fact, he was overjoyed that Huo Yu had agreed to be engaged to him, but he immediately realized that the fact that she agreed to it so easily was proof that she did not care about him at all. He did not want to dy Huo Yu a second time because of some unimportant reason¡­ Seeing that Qin Yuan was silent, Luo Tao took a sip of tea. ¡°Reason?¡± ¡°No reason. Anyway, I don¡¯t want to be engaged.¡± Qin Yuan firmly refused. ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Tao answered indifferently and continued to work. Luo Tao¡¯s attitude confused Qin Yuan. ¡°What do you mean by okay? You don¡¯t want to ask anymore?¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°I¡¯m not asking further.¡± Luo Tao spoke to Qin Yuan while he worked without dy. ¡°Then what about not getting engaged?¡± Qin Yuan asked tentatively. ¡°Tell Uncle Qin yourself.¡± Qin Yuan rolled his eyes without caring about his image. He already knew that brother Huo was really unreliable. He twisted and turned his words without changing his mind. ¡°Three o¡¯clock. Don¡¯t forget to pick her up.¡± Luo Tao closed hisputer and prepared to leave. Qin Yuan jumped up from the sofa in an instant. ¡°Huo Zhen! You want me to pick her up?¡± ¡°Or else? I¡¯ll do the pick-up in Luo Tao¡¯s name?¡± Hearing Luo Tao¡¯s words, Qin Yuan fell silent. Although news of the engagement between their families had been released, there would still be people watching Huo Yu before the engagement. Huo Zhen could not show his face yet. ¡°By the way, don¡¯t let Huo Yu stay in a hotel. Let her go straight to your vi,¡± Luo Tao instructed. ¡°My vi!¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s hair stood on end. He said repeatedly, ¡°No! No, no, no! Absolutely not!¡± In the past, the two of them had been living opposite each other every day, and they had liked each other. How could they let Huo Yu stay at his house this time! Speaking of which, Qin Yuan was the one who could not let go of their rtionship. This was also the reason why he subsequently did not get close to women. When Huo Yu broke up with him, she ended it quietly, making it very clear that the two of them should not make it public. The Qin and Huo families still had dealings with each other, so they could resume their former friendship. After that, Qin Yuan returned from abroad and ran to C City to run a jade store. Huo Yu stayed overseas and didn¡¯t return for a long time. Luo Tao briefly nced at Qin Yuan. ¡°If you let your fianc¨¦e stay in a hotel, wouldn¡¯t you beughed at?¡± ¡°The Huo family also has a vi in City C. Let her stay at home,¡± Qin Yuan said dejectedly. ¡°Someone is watching.¡± Luo Tao had always been cautious, so after discovering that the Huo family¡¯s vi might be surveilled, he never went to that area again. With all his escape routes blocked, Qin Yuan wanted to die. Why couldn¡¯t he escape? Imagine that the person you like is about to be your fianc¨¦e and live under the same roof as you, but she only sees you as a friend and won¡¯t give you any possibility of developing a rtionship. This life is so depressing! Chapter 239 Chapter 239 Even if Qin Yuan was unwilling, he still had to do what he had to. In order to not let his littledy boss lose her temper, Qin Yuan arrived at the airport half an hour early. While waiting in the hall, he remembered when the two of them had been together, Huo Yu would pick him up in advance every time he flew to country M. She could instantaneously locate him in the crowd and would rush over to give him a big hug. Qin Yuan lowered his eyes, feeling a little dejected. Those days had truly happened a long time ago¡­ ¡°Little Yuan? Why are you alone?¡± Suddenly, Qin Yuan heard Huo Yu¡¯s voice. Qin Yuan looked up, and the light in front of him was somewhat blocked. A young girl in short-sleeved shirt and shorts had already walked up to him. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°Where¡¯s my brother?¡± Huo Yu looked around. ¡°He can¡¯t pick you up in someone else¡¯s name. I came alone.¡± Hearing Qin Yuan say that he was alone, Huo Yu instantly fell silent. When there were other people around, the two of them could perform very well. It was like the two families had always thought that they did not have feelings for each other, but in reality, it was still a little awkward when they were alone together. Huo Yu looked at Qin Yuan and changed the topic. ¡°You can just send me to the Huo family¡¯s vi later.¡± Huo Yu wanted to ease the atmosphere, but Qin Yuan felt even more awkward when she said that. He hesitated for a long time before saying, ¡°Brother Huo said to let you stay at my ce.¡± ¡°What?¡± Huo Yu¡¯s voice went up a few decibels, attracting the attention of the people around them. Huo Yu met the gazes of the others andughed. She pulled Qin Yuan out of the airport quickly. ¡°Qin Yuan, what did you say? My brother asked me to stay at your ce?¡± Qin Yuan felt better when he saw that Huo Yu was more surprised than him. ¡°Yes! Your brother asked you to stay at my ce.¡± ¡°No way! Little Yuan! Didn¡¯t you protest to my brother?¡± Huo Yu asked in disbelief. Qin Yuan sat in the driver¡¯s seat and said, ¡°When have either of you ever heard me protesting?¡± Huo Yu knew that there was no arguing with her brother. She let out a long sigh. Her brother had reallymitted a sin. He insisted on pushing his sister into the fire pit. If something happened to them while they lived together, how would her brother take responsibility? Qin Yuan nced at the calm Huo Yu in the mirror. In the past, when he was with Huo Yu, he would see Huo Yu¡¯s smiling face from time to time. However, after that, when he would asionally be alone with Huo Yu, she would always have this cold look on her face. She did not chat nor speak much. Suddenly, Huo Yu seemed to have thought of something and said, ¡°Previously, you told me that my sister-inw has my brother eating from her hand. Is that true?¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. Brother Huo and sister-inw have changed a lot since they got married.¡± Qin Yuan¡¯s heart, which had leapt up because Huo Yu had taken the initiative to talk to him, instantly sunk back down again. ¡°Didn¡¯t you see it that day? Brother Huo¡¯s look when he saw sister-inw¡¯s text message.¡± ¡°I saw it,¡± Huo Yu replied as if she had sensed something. ¡°My brother has really changed a lot. He used to be like a robot, thinking about how to expand the Huo family¡¯s business every day. So what if it¡¯s the number onepany in the world? He won¡¯t be able to spend all the money he earns. When he departs from this life, he will go as he came ¡ª with nothing.¡± Qin Yuan was amused by her words. He had always liked Huo Yu¡¯s contented and happy personality. Being with her would be very rxing. Without too strong a desire for material things, he would stop and appreciate the beauty around him. Huo Yu would find joy in simple things and share it with him, allowing him to experience life with her. ¡°You¡¯re right.¡± Qin Yuan smiled. Huo Yu raised her eyebrows. In the past, Qin Yuan always liked to disagree with her, but today, he had undergone a transformation? He was going along with her. ¡°Oh right! What did you mean when you said you wanted to work for my brother in the name of pursuing her? Is that girl like a damsel in distress? Does my brother have to help her with everything?¡± The first sentence had just ignited the little me in Qin Yuan¡¯s heart, but the second sentence had extinguished it. He thought that Huo Yu was jealous, but who would have thought¡­ ¡°Not really. It¡¯s just that sister-inw¡¯s constitution is a little special and she often encounters trouble.¡± In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Qin Yuan still exined. ¡°Isn¡¯t that just a damsel in distress? ! I have to tell my brother to be careful. It wouldn¡¯t be good if he gets entangled by a woman of unknown origin,¡± Huo Yu said with a serious expression. Qin Yuan was at a loss for words when he mentioned this. Back then, he was almost set up by the damsel in distress. Chapter 240 Chapter 240 He thought of what Huo Yu had once told him about the definition of ¡®damsel in distress¡¯. Qin Yuan sighed and spoke again, ¡°Trouble goes looking for sister-inw, not the other way around. Sister-inw is very good to brother Huo. Don¡¯t misunderstand and give them trouble.¡± Qin Yuan was clear about the rtionship between Huo Zhen and Huo Yu. If Huo Zhen was caught between his sister and wife because of something he said, Qin Yuan would be a sinner. ¡°I see!¡± Huo Yu nodded thoughtfully. ¡°I¡¯m quite curious about what kind of girl can charm my brother. When will you bring me to meet her?¡± Huo Yu said excitedly. ¡°I won¡¯t,¡± Qin Yuan firmly refused. Previously, CEO Song of Hong Jing had inquired about his rtionship with his sister-inw and asked if he was pursuing her. At that time, he neither admitted nor denied it in order to help his sister-inw solve the problem. In the end, he was treated as his sister-inw¡¯s suitor. Now, he was asked to bring his fianc¨¦e to meet the rumored ¡®sweetheart¡¯. What was this all about? ¡°Qin Yuan, give me a reason.¡± When he heard Huo Yu¡¯s voice drop a few degrees, Qin Yuan instantly shivered. He had to admit that the members of the Huo family really had their own ways of attacking him. ¡°Give me a reason too. On what basis should I bring you to meet her? Or do you just want to have a look at her and leave?¡± Huo Yu frowned. Indeed, she did not intend to just have a look and then leave. She wanted to get in contact with her. As for the reason, she had not thought of it. Qin Yuan nced at the unhappy Huo Yu and felt a little depressed. ¡°I heard that the Mo family is nning to hold a charity banquet. If you want to meet sister-inw, you can try your luck.¡± ¡°The Mo family? The Mo family that reced the bride?¡± Huo Yu sneered. ¡°Yes, sister-inw¡¯s original family, but she has already cut off ties with them,¡± Qin Yuan replied. Huo Yu understood Qin Yuan¡¯s meaning after thinking for a moment. Because ties had been broken off, she was unsure whether Mo Yan would attend. ¡°I got it. Let¡¯s wait until the Mo family sends an invitation!¡± As the old saying went, if someone mentions you behind your back, you would sneeze. As such, Mo Yan had already sneezed several times in the office. Li Guoguo sat opposite Mo Yan and watched with reddened eyes as Mo Yan sneezed non-stop. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, do you have a cold?¡± N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Mo Yan shook her head. She was fine earlier, but had suddenly sneezed. Sniffing, Mo Yan said, ¡°Guoguo, it¡¯s your boyfriend¡¯s fault that he cheated on you. You don¡¯t have to be too sad. It¡¯s just that you didn¡¯t meet the right person.¡± That day, Li Guoguo came to work as usual. It was just lunch time, but she had already been barricaded in the office. Then, she was made to listen to a love drama. From how Li Guoguo met her boyfriend on the dating app, to how her boyfriend had pursued her and purchased many items for her, to how good her boyfriend was to her when they met¡­ In the end, her loving boyfriend actually cheated on her and even wanted to break up with her. He must have been seduced and so on. Mo Yan felt her head spin on hearing that. She only wanted to focus on her tasks and work hard. She really didn¡¯t want to be an Agony Aunt! ¡°Sister Mo Yan, how did you meet brother-inw? Sister, brother-inw treats you so well. Can you teach me how it¡¯s done?¡± Hearing Li Guoguo mention Luo Tao, Mo Yan immediately felt rmed. She recalled what Xu Wan had said the other day. ¡°Your brother-inw and I got to know each other through family introductions. There¡¯s nothing special about us.¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t want to mention Luo Tao in front of Li Guoguo anymore, so she kept it vague. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, tell me about it! You and your brother-inw are so close. Is there a trick to it? I want to learn too. I don¡¯t want to break up with him. I want to win him back.¡± Li Guoguo stared at Mo Yan to show her sincerity. Mo Yan lowered her eyes and asked tentatively, ¡°What do you think of Luo Tao?¡± ¡°Brother-inw is wonderful! He is handsome, and his voice is pleasant to listen to. He also knows how to trade stocks and do trantions. He is simply the ideal boyfriend!¡± Li Guoguo said with longing. Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were cold. She had been willing to take care of Li Guoguo because when she had been alone, Li Guoguo stood by her side. However, did Li Guoguo think she was stupid by setting her sights on her husband? Chapter 241 Chapter 241 The two of them had known each other for quite a long time, so Mo Yan did not beat around the bush with her. She directly said, ¡°Guoguo, do you have any designs on Luo Tao when you have such high regard for him?¡± Faced with Mo Yan¡¯s sudden outburst, Li Guoguo was speechless. After a long while, sheughed dryly and said, ¡°Sister Mo Yan, what are you talking about? He is your husband, my brother-inw. What designs can I have?¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you don¡¯t have any. I don¡¯t want my friend to be eyeing my husband.¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Mo Yan¡¯s voice was cold and indifferent. Her eyes were locked tightly on Li Guoguo. Li Guoguo stuttered, ¡°Sister Mo Yan, why would you think that! Am I that kind of person?¡± ¡°Guoguo, I¡¯ve always hoped that you¡¯re not, but your actions and words make me suspicious.¡± ¡°Sister Mo Yan, what do you mean by that? You can¡¯t use me like this!¡± Li Guoguo had an aggrieved look on her face, and her eyes were filled with tears. It really seemed like Mo Yan had wronged her. Mo Yan¡¯s expression suddenly changed, and the corners of her mouth rose, sheughed lightly. ¡°Why are you crying? I¡¯m just suspicious. Firstly, I don¡¯t want our rtionship to be ruined because of my husband. Secondly, I don¡¯t want any misunderstandings between us to cause any changes in my rtionship with my husband. Today, I¡¯m just saying it out loud so that there won¡¯t be any suspicions between us.¡± Li Guoguo was nervous because of Mo Yan¡¯s every move. She was indeed interested in Luo Tao, but she didn¡¯t expect Mo Yan to notice and directly expose it. However, at this time, she wouldn¡¯t admit it no matter what. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, believe me. I don¡¯t have any other intentions towards brother-inw. I just think that brother-inw and sister are verypatible.¡± Mo Yan smiled as she picked up the name tag on the office desk and fiddled with it. ¡°Yes, I believe you. Our Guoguo isn¡¯t stupid. You know yourself what you should or should not do.¡± Li Guoguo watched as Mo Yan¡¯s movements became faster and faster. Was Mo Yan warning her that she was her superior and not to have any designs on Luo Tao? Li Guoguo held back her fear and tried her best to pretend to be her usual self, she said coquettishly, ¡°Of course I¡¯m not stupid! Sister Mo Yan, you are really thinking too much. Brother-inw is already married to you. How can I be interested in brother-inw! Moreover, there are so many single men. I wouldn¡¯t go to the extent of being someone¡¯s mistress, right?¡± Mo Yan smiled and did not answer. Seeing that the situation was still not right, Li Guoguo did not dare to stay with Mo Yan any longer. She simply found an excuse and left Mo Yan¡¯s office. Mo Yan leaned back on the chair and sighed. Xu Wan was right. Li Guoguo was interested in Luo Tao. This man was really more attractive than her. Back when she was in school, she thought that she had received a lot of love letters. But now, looking at these women who knew that Luo Tao was already married and still jumped on him, she could not help but be convinced. However, Li Guoguo was different from other women. She wanted to save her from embarrassment and not let her meet Luo Tao in the future. At this time, Mo Yan¡¯s phone rang. It was Xu Wan. ¡°How is it? I was correct, right?¡± ¡°Yeah, I think so.¡± On the other side of the phone, Xu Wan clicked her tongue, which made Mo Yan want tough. ¡°I just asked Li Guoguo what she thought of Luo Tao. She praised him to the skies. What about you? What do you think of Luo Tao?¡± Mo Yan took a bite of the sandwich she had brought from home that morning. That day, Xu Wan went to get insurance for the employees while Xu Tian went to run some business. The two of them had happily gone out, leaving her to have lunch alone. ¡°What do you think? Just like that! When he was like a gangster, he definitely wasn¡¯t good enough for you. Now, it looks okay. At least he can earn some money and not starve you.¡± Listening to Xu Wan¡¯s evaluation, Mo Yanughed out loud. This was a true confidante. When you asked her to evaluate the people around you, they would always be the first to judge your boyfriend from your point of view, from the point of view of a friend, and not from the point of view of the opposite sex admiring your boyfriend. ¡°Hey! What are youughing at! You sound so silly!¡± Listening to theughter that suddenly came from the phone, the corners of Xu Wan¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°I¡¯mughing at how I have such a good friend.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice still carried a hint of a smile, which gave Xu Wan goosebumps. ¡°Ew! It¡¯s so mushy! Mo Yan, did you take the wrong medicine today? Hurry up and get your husband to bring you to check whether there¡¯s anything wrong with your brain.¡± Seeing that the lunch break had ended, Mo Yan did not continue nattering with her. After asking a few more questions about insurance, she hung up. Chapter 242 Chapter 242 From the moment Mo Yan became a supervisor, she realized that there was so much a supervisor had to do. As the middle management in thepany, the supervisor not only had to report to the higher-ups, but also had to convey the sales tasks and strategies to the subordinates. Sometimes, Mo Yan would wonder how Chen Ya had the time to pay close attention to her every day when she had been a supervisor, causing trouble for her? In the afternoon, Mo Yan finished the work on hand and started the fieldwork. Even though she became a supervisor, she could not sit in the office all day. Market development and payment supervision were all tasks that she had to do. However, she did not expect to see Luo Tao as soon as she went downstairs. Mo Yan was a little surprised and ran quickly to Luo Tao¡¯s side. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Mo Yan looked up at Luo Tao in astonishment. Luo Tao gently rubbed Mo Yan¡¯s bun. ¡°You said yesterday that you needed to do fieldwork this afternoon, so I came to wait for you.¡± ¡°Huh? I¡¯m at work! It¡¯s not good to meet during working hours!¡± Although she was very happy to see Luo Tao, she had to draw clear boundaries between work and personal matters. Mo Yan felt that it was not good no matter how she looked at it. Luo Tao¡¯s smile became even more gentle. ¡°Your boss allowed it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Yan replied in a daze. ¡°I sent a trantion to your director on the way today. Your director said that you can have someone apany you when you do your fieldwork with an injured arm this afternoon.¡± Because he knew Mo Yan¡¯s personality, Luo Tao¡¯s expression was very serious when he spoke, as if to prove that he was not lying. Mo Yan giggled and grabbed Luo Tao¡¯s arm. Previously, the director had asked her for Luo Tao¡¯s phone number. She didn¡¯t expect Luo Tao to complete the trantion so quickly. ¡°Why are you so serious! It¡¯s fieldwork! There will always be times when you ck off.¡± Mo Yan mischievously stuck her tongue out at Luo Tao. Today, Mo Yan was going to the site of the project that the Mo family had discussed with them a few days ago. The distance wasn¡¯t too far; by bus, it was six stops away. She had chosen a time when there were fewer people, so there would be no traffic jams. After spending a lot of time with Mo Yan, Luo Tao had slowly gotten used to taking the bus. For this reason, the two of them had specially gone to get bus passes. Like the previous time, if the two of them had time at night, they could take the bus home slowly. Enjoying the night scenery of the city along the way was a kind of enjoyment. Without Mo Lian stopping them, Mo Yan¡¯s work progressed very quickly. It was not that the project had fallen into Mo Yan¡¯s hands, but they had held meetings over a few days and so had to see it for themselves and get some results. In the future, if she encountered a simr project, she would be able toe up with a n as quickly as possible. If they had rejected it, then the few mornings spent would have been wasted. After work at night, the two of them weren¡¯t in a hurry to go home. They were ready to take a walk and take a taxi once they felt tired. Mo Yan held onto Luo Tao¡¯s arm and strolled under the brightly lit high-rise buildings. ¡°Mo Cheng called me this afternoon.¡± Just as Mo Yan was talking about her childhood with Mo Cheng, Luo Tao suddenly spoke up. ¡°Is anything the matter?¡± Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao. ¡°He said that the results are out regarding his school¡¯s punishment for the students who had fought.¡± Mo Yan had almost forgotten about this matter. The day after the fight, she went to work and met Mo Lian. She was promoted to supervisor and took over the supervisor¡¯s job. She was busy as a top all day long. She didn¡¯t have the time to bother about this issue. Luo Tao was the one who dealt with the follow-up matters. Besides, apart from her injury, Luo Tao and Mo Cheng were both fine, so she didn¡¯t really care about it. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mo Yan asked. ¡°I heard from Mo Cheng that after the school teacher confirmed from the students that those people were the ones who started the fight, they gave them demerits.¡± ¡°What about their injuries? How much did you pay back then?¡± Mo Yan remembered that Luo Tao had beaten up those gangster students quite badly back then. ¡°I didn¡¯t pay. They were the ones who started the fight. We considered it as self-defense. Moreover, you were injured. They were the ones who paid for your medical expenses.¡± Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao in surprise. Was this considered self-defense? How did Luo Tao beat up those people in order to make such a judgment? Seeing Mo Yan¡¯s strange expression, Luo Tao didn¡¯t exin much, he continued tough, ¡°I heard from Mo Cheng that he gave the teacher evidence of these people bullying the other students. Other than the demerits, they are also facing the risk of being expelled.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s jaw dropped. Her family¡¯s Cheng was not bad! Things were done well. With the experience of these people, there should be fewer bullying incidences in the school.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Chapter 243 Chapter 243 Thinking of Mo Cheng, the conversation between Luo Tao and Mo Cheng also came to Mo Yan¡¯s mind. What exactly did they say that made Mo Cheng change so much? Mo Yan had asked about it a few times, but Luo Tao never said anything. In fact, Luo Tao did not know what to say. Mo Cheng was very smart, but he had been blindfolded. When someone was willing to listen and give him confidence, he could walk out on his own. The two of them strolled along the street. Mo Yan leaned her head against Luo Tao¡¯s arm. ¡°I really hope that I can continue walking like this with you.¡± Mo Yan sighed. From that night onwards, Mo Yan had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness. It was as if Luo Tao would leave her at any moment. Luo Tao looked at Mo Yan and smiled lightly. ¡°You will.¡± From the beginning of their life together, it was like a vacation. There was no distrust or scheming. There was only the daily grind to grapple with. The night light elongated their shadows, and as they moved, they got closer and closer. ¡­ In the Mo family¡¯s vi. Mo Lian rushed back from country M. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Mo Dong sitting on the sofa. Her heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to turn around and leave, but Mo Dong stopped her. ¡°For what are you leaving?¡± Mo Dong said icily. Mo Lian reluctantly walked to Mo Dong¡¯s side. ¡°Dad.¡± Seeing Mo Dong ring at her, Mo Lian hurriedly apologized, ¡°Dad! I was wrong about what had happened before. Dad, don¡¯t be angry.¡± ¡°What was wrong?¡± Mo Dong continued to ask. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have targeted Mo Yan in Mo Yan¡¯spany and embarrassed Dad,¡± Mo Lian lowered her head. ¡°What else!¡± Mo Lian didn¡¯t know what else she had done wrong, so she lowered her head and kept quiet. ¡°Also, you can do a lot of things to mess with her, but you have to choose the stupidest one. Not only Hong Jing, even the employees of our ownpany don¡¯t like you,¡± Mo Dong said with a snort. Actually, what made him most dissatisfied with Mo Lian was that Mo Lian had started thinking about his company at such a young age. He hadn¡¯t even retired yet, but she had already spread the word that she would inherit thepany in the future. In the end, Mo Dong was a person who did not love anyone. He only loved hispany and his money. Once someone coveted his things, he could not bear it, let alone a daughter like this who did not have a brain, and had embarrassed him in front of otherpanies. ¡°Dad! I¡¯m sorry, I won¡¯t do it again in the future. I know my mistake.¡± Mo Lian dared to be arrogant towards others, but she did not dare to say anything to her father. Firstly, it was because she and her mother had to rely on her father for a living. Secondly, her father would really throw punches. If her father wanted to hit her, even her mother would not be able to stop him. Hence, she did not dare to go head-to-head with her father. Mo Dong nced at her coldly and said, ¡°Enough! Let¡¯s forget about this matter. In the future, think before you act.¡± Mo Lian nodded obediently. ¡°In a few days, Mo Real Estate will hold a charity banquet. Clean yourself up and attend it.¡± ¡°Okay! I got it, Dad!¡± Hearing Mo Dong mention the banquet, Mo Lian¡¯s expression remain unchanged, but her heart was filled with joy. When she received the call asking her to return, she heard her mother wanted her to hurry home, saying that they were going to hold a charity banquet. Mo Lian liked this kind of asion the most. Once the Mo family held a banquet, she would be the center of attention. Regardless of whether it was someone more powerful than the Mo family, they would all have to show respect to her. Mo Dong looked at Mo Lian and said frostily, ¡°For this banquet, invite Mo Yan as well.¡± ¡°What?¡± Mo Lian shrieked a little, but when she saw Mo Dong¡¯s gloomy expression, she had no choice but to shut her mouth, not daring to speak further ¡°Mo Lian, look at you now. You still want to inherit thepany? I might as well give it to Mo Yan.¡± Mo Lian looked at Mo Dong in disbelief. Her father had actually said that he wanted to give the company to Mo Yan? ¡°Father! Mo Yan and her mother have done so many things in the past! How can you say that!¡± Seeing Mo Lian¡¯s agitation, Mo Dong¡¯s expression became even more frigid. ¡°Mo Lian, let me tell you, with your current state, not only will you not inherit thepany, you won¡¯t even be qualified to be a junior supervisor.¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Mo Dong suddenly thought of Mo Yan in the video. If he had not broken off with mother and daughter, Mo Yan would probably be much better than Mo Lian. At least there would be someone to keep Mo Lian in check, so Mo Lian would not develop into such a brainless character, with a habit of doing things solely based on her preferences. ¡°Go and invite Mo Yan. If you can¡¯t, you don¡¯t have to attend the banquet as well.¡± ¡°Dad!¡± Mo Lian growled at Mo Dong¡¯s back, but Mo Dong ignored her and went straight upstairs to his room. Chapter 244 Chapter 244 In the living room, only Mo Lian was left crying bitterly. After about half an hour, Chang Lu rushed downstairs and saw her daughter still sitting on the sofa. She quickly helped her daughter up the stairs. ¡°Little Lian, why are you quarreling with your father again? Didn¡¯t I tell you on the phone that you just have to listen to him!¡± Mo Lian said aggrievedly: ¡°Mom, dad actually said that he would let that little sl*t attend the banquet! How can dad say that? Didn¡¯t he already chase that little sl*t out of the house?¡± Chang Lu stroked her daughter¡¯s head andforted her: ¡°Your dad was angered by you this time. Little Lian, you have to change your temper too. Even with our status, we can¡¯t do anything domineering. Otherwise, the one who will lose face will be us the Mo family.¡± ¡°I can change, but we can¡¯t let that little sl*te back again! Mom, we finally chased them away, how can we let theme back again!¡± Chang Lu sighed. Why would she want that mother and daughter toe back? However, she could not change Mo Dong¡¯s decision. Moreover, Mo Dong only said that he wanted Mo Yan to attend the dinner party and did not say anything about bringing the mother and daughter back, so she could not say anything. ¡°Little Lian, bear with it and behave better. When you take over your father¡¯spany, the two of us will not be like this anymore.¡± Over the years, the Mo family was controlled by Mo Dongpletely. If Chang Lu dared to refute what he said, she would definitely suffer. This also made Chang Lu want her daughter to quickly take over thepany. ¡°Mom, should we think of a way to punish Mo Yan and the others? It would be best if we can chase them out of C City. That way, we won¡¯t have to worry anymore.¡± Every time Mo Lian thought of the humiliation Mo Yan had brought to her, she wanted to tear Mo Yan into pieces. Chasing her out of C City was already considered a light punishment. Chang Lu sighed. Her daughter still did not realize the crux of the problem. She only focused on the small details. Chang Lu thought for a moment and continued: ¡°You don¡¯t have to care too much about Mo Yan. Even if your father wants to recognize Mo Yan, she might not be able toe back. Moreover, Mo Yan¡¯s mother and Mo Cheng are sandwiched in the middle. Even if your father doesn¡¯t mind, do you think Mo Yan wouldn¡¯t mind?¡± Thinking of the situation where Mo Yan and her father were at loggerheads, Mo Lian felt a little relieved. ¡°Then mom, you will just let that little sl*t go? I can¡¯t ept this. That little sl*t must have made her bossin to dad about this. That¡¯s why dad was so angry.¡± Mo Lian angrily med Mo Yan. Chang Lu said earnestly: ¡°There¡¯s no rush. You have plenty of opportunities to deal with Mo Yan. The most important thing now is for you to organize this charity banquet well. I heard that the Huo family¡¯s daughter came to C City recently for her engagement. Your dad¡¯s charity banquet is prepared for the Huo family¡¯s daughter. If you want to climb the socialdders, you know what you have to do!¡± Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°Mom, are you talking about the Huo family of Jing City?¡± Mo Lian¡¯s face turned from anger to surprise. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the Huo family that is famous all over the country. The daughter of the Huo family came to C City to get engaged to the young master of the Qin family. If you can invite her to this charity banquet, our family will get countless benefits in the future.¡± Hearing Chang Lu¡¯s words, Mo Lian felt that it was wonderful. The daughter of the Huo family! She was the little princess that Fourth Master Huo doted on the most! If she could be friends with the little princess, not only would her status be raised by a few levels, but she would also have the opportunity to get close to Fourth Master Huo. This was the goal that all girls pursued! Seeing her daughter¡¯s eyes light up, Chang Lu smiled and said, ¡°This time, you will personally write the invitation letter to the daughter of the Huo family. Your words must be sincere. Fourth Master Huo and his little sister have always liked to do charity. If you are sincere, I think she will not reject it.¡± Mo Lian nodded vigorously: ¡°Okay, I will definitely write it well.¡± Then, Mo Lian thought of Mo Yan. She really did not want to invite that sl*t to such an asion. ¡°Mom! Do I really have to invite that sl*t? I don¡¯t want to.¡± Chang Lu sighed: ¡°Since your dad has said so, he must have his own ns. You better not go against his wishes. Your father has also said that as long as you perform well this time, you will still be his only daughter.¡± Mo Dong¡¯s words were very contradictory, but the mother and daughter had no other choice. They could only go along with Mo Dong¡¯s wishes and do whatever Mo Dong said. Chapter 245 Chapter 245 Two dayster, Mo Yan was working when her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from an unknown number. ¡°Hello? How are you?¡± ¡°Mo Yan! You blocked my number?¡± Mo Yan had just picked up the phone when she heard Mo Lian¡¯s exasperated voice. Mo Yan subconsciously pressed the hang-up button. Before she could block it again, Mo Lian¡¯s call came in again. ¡°Mo Yan! I have something to talk to you about.¡± Mo Lian shouted directly. Mo Yan rolled her eyes. She had already blocked three of Mo Lian¡¯s numbers before, and Mo Lian was actually able to get a fourth card to call her! How weird! ¡°What is it? Talk!¡± ¡°The Mo family has a charity banquet on Saturday night. The venue is the Penins Hotel. Come and attend it.¡± Mo Lian¡¯smanding tone made Mo Yanugh. She rejected her directly: ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± ¡°You!¡± Mo Lian was choked by Mo Yan¡¯s straightforward words. When she remembered that Luo Tao had rejected her the same wayst time, she felt even more resentful. ¡°It was dad who asked me to invite you.¡± Mo Lian said stiffly. ¡°I¡¯m not going. That¡¯s your dad, not mine. Why should I listen to him?¡± Although Mo Yan¡¯s words did not give her any face, Mo Lian was secretly delighted. Judging from the degree of separation between Mo Yan and Mo Dong, it was really like what her mother said. She did not have to worry too much about Mo Dong reconciling with Mo Yan. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. ¡°Do you have anything else? If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m hanging up.¡± Mo Yan said coldly on the other side of the phone. ¡°Don¡¯t hang up, Mo Yan. I advise you to attend this banquet. Otherwise, it¡¯s hard to say what will happen to your family.¡± Even if she did not want Mo Yan toe, she did not dare to disobey Mo Dong¡¯s orders. Of course, she would not reveal to Mo Yan that the Huo family¡¯s daughter might attend the banquet, so she could only threaten her. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice became colder. Mo Lian had repeatedly threatened her with her family. Did she really think that Mo Yan had no temper? ¡°Dad asked you toe. If you don¡¯te, dad will me me. There¡¯s nothing I can do! I can only use your family members to threaten you.¡± Seeing that Mo Yan was angry, Mo Lian was happy. Her words also became more and more infuriating. ¡°Mo Lian, do you think that threatening me with the same method will work?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was cold and stern. If Mo Lian could see Mo Yan¡¯s current expression, she would probably be scared half to death. However, Mo Lian could not see it. ¡°Now that your mother is in the hospital and your brother is in school, it¡¯s easy for me to make a move. Think about it yourself! The invitation will be mailed to your house. Whether you go or not, it¡¯s up to you.¡± After saying that, Mo Lian hung up the phone first. Mo Yan heard the busy toneing from the phone. The veins on her hand that were holding the phone popped up. Mo Lian! Taking two deep breaths, Mo Yan focused her attention back on work. It was probably because she had experienced a lot of things over time. The moment Mo Lian said that Mo Dong wanted her to attend the banquet, she knew that Mo Dong wanted to use her to discipline Mo Lian. Mo Dong had always been a person who cared about his face. After the incident with Mo Lian, how could he not be angry? But now, he only had Mo Lian by his side. He wanted to discipline her, but he did not have the time, so he used her to teach Mo Lian a lesson. Heh! Mo Dong¡¯s idea was good. Even though he had already severed his rtionship with this daughter. As long as he wanted to use her, he would still use her. However, Mo Lian was right. With her current situation, she could notpletely protect her family. She could only work hard and climb to a higher position to earn more money and hire people to take care of them. Mo Yan sighed. When she had time, she really had to think of ways to deal with Mo Lian. She could not always let her use her weak spot to threaten her. During lunch, Mo Yan, Xu Wan, and the others sat at the same table. Halfway through lunch, they heard Qiao Li and Zhao Xin mention the Mo family¡¯s charity banquet on Saturday. Zhao Xin had never been interested in banquets. She looked as if she had lost her parents. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go. My mom is urging me to find a boyfriend. If I go, she might drag me around to promote me.¡± Xu Wan looked at Zhao Xin¡¯s pained expression and smiled happily: ¡°I don¡¯t understand the troubles of rich people!¡± ¡°You¡¯re still gloating over my misery! You¡¯re too much! Qiao Li, your family isn¡¯t urging you to get married?¡± Qiao Li elegantly swallowed a mouthful of food and said, ¡°Fortunately, they haven¡¯t rushed me recently.¡± Chapter 246 Chapter 246 As they were talking, the topic of conversation changed to Mo Yan. After all, it was a party organized by the Mo family. Whether Mo Yan would attend or not, they still had to ask. Mo Yan picked up a piece of shredded potatoes with her chopsticks and said helplessly: ¡°I¡¯ll go, but not in the name of the Mo family¡¯s daughter, but in my own name.¡± Xu Wan was a little surprised. She thought Mo Yan would not go. ¡°Didn¡¯t you break off all ties with the Mo family? Why are you still going? Won¡¯t Mo Lian make things difficult for you?¡± Xu Wan was puzzled. Mo Yan sighed: ¡°She specifically called me and asked me to go.¡± ¡°Specifically asked you to go? That¡¯s strange! Could it be that she¡¯s trying to trick you to go and make things difficult for you?¡± Xu Wan asked. ¡°I¡¯m not sure. She said that Mo Dong asked me to go. I think Mo Lian was humiliated in Hong Jing this time so Mo Dong deliberately made me go back to provoke Mo Lian.¡± When she said this, Mo Yan seemed to be saying something very normal, causing the other three people to look over. Was he not using Mo Yan as a tool? The person who wanted to use her was her father. How did she manage to be so calm? Other than Xu Wan who knew the situation, Xu Wan was still quite surprised at Mo Yan¡¯s attitude. Could it be that Mo Yan really did not care at all? ¡°You already know the reason, yet you still went! Isn¡¯t this just being used as a target for others!¡± Xu Wan stood up for Mo Yan. Mo Yan chuckled: ¡°I can¡¯t help it. That family has no bottom line. Mo Lian threatened me that if I did not go, she would attack my family. Anyway, if I go alone, she can only humiliate me.¡± ¡°Threaten you? Call the police! What kind of person is this? Her family is having a lousy banquet and she still wants you to go.¡± Xu Wan said angrily. ¡°I don¡¯t have any evidence. It¡¯s useless to call the police. Anyway, she¡¯s just saying it now. If something really happens, we¡¯ll talk about itter!¡± Xu Wan could hear the helplessness in Mo Yan¡¯s tone, but she could not do anything about it. On the other side, Qiao Li and Zhao Xin looked at each other and said: ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll go tonight too. We won¡¯t let Mo Lian bully Mo Yan.¡± Mo Yan could not help but burst intoughter when she saw their worried expressions. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the most Mo Lian could do will be to humiliate me. She won¡¯t do anything else.¡± Mo Yan could tell from these few incidents that Mo Lian wanted to humiliate her and see her make a fool of herself, but she did not have the guts to do something that would kill her. So as long as she was more vignt, nothing big should happen. ¡°Okay, then you should be more careful.¡± After Xu Wan said that, she started to talk about other topics. After all, no one was in a good mood when it came to Mo Lian. While Mo Yan was having a heated conversation, Li Guoguo was not having a good time. Ever since Mo Yan revealed her stakes to her that day, she did not dare to casually look for Mo Yan. However, everyone in the office knew that she had a good rtionship with Mo Yan and often asked her about Mo Yan and the stocks. Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org. When it came to the stocks, Li Guoguo thought of what Luo Tao had said. ¡°If you don¡¯t understand something, don¡¯t meddle in it.¡± She always felt that Luo Tao¡¯s words did not only refer to the stocks but also to her unspeakable thoughts. No girl would not be moved by such a handsome, elegant, and capable man. Why would Mo Yan be so harsh to her? She only had a crush on her and did not confess. Why would Mo Yan expose her like that? Thinking of this, Li Guoguo could not help but feel a little resentful. Li Guoguo thought of Mo Yan¡¯s husband and her boyfriend, and her eyes reddened slightly. In the past, she had always thought that Mo Yan¡¯s husband was only good-looking but had no money and had to be supported by Mo Yan. If she found a rich man, she would always be like Mo Yan. But now,paring Mo Yan¡¯s husband who was only capable and did not show it, and her boyfriend, who relied on his family¡¯s money but had no looks or figure and not only cheated on her but also dumped her, how could she tolerate that? ¡°Eh? Guoguo, what¡¯s wrong? Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± A colleague asked. Li Guoguo calmed herself down and said: ¡°Nothing! I just thought of something.¡± ¡°Thought of something? The stock issue? Guoguo, let me tell you, Manager Mo¡¯s husband is really amazing! I saw that the stocks he rmended are rising these days! I¡¯ve earned a few hundred in these few days!¡± The female colleague took out her phone and opened the stock market APP. She said while showing it to Li Guoguo. Chapter 247 Chapter 247 Li Guoguo saw that no one noticed her abnormality and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Yeah! I bought it too. I¡¯ve been looking pretty happy these past few days.¡± Li Guoguo told the others about the stocks that she had mentioned at the dinner table that day. At first, she was a little nervous, but these few stocks had been increasing these past few days, and many people had been praising her. Hearing these words, Li Guoguo was relieved. ¡°Guoguo, you¡¯re really amazing! You got the god of stocks to rmend so many stocks to you. Sigh! Your rtionship is really good. People like us, who are not familiar with Supervisor Mo, can¡¯t even talk to them!¡± The one who spoke was a short-haired female colleague. Previously, she had privately said that Li Guoguo¡¯s performance was so bad that she could not stay in Hong Jing. However, when she saw that Mo Yan had been promoted to director, she immediately changed her attitude. Li Guoguo was ttered by others. She did not care whether what she said was true or not, she just blurted it out. ¡°Brother-inw is pretty good. The day we had dinner, he asked me about my views on stocks. After I said that, he even praised me foring. After that, he rmended stocks to me.¡± ¡°Eh? The god of stocks is so approachable? He was so cold that day I saw him! When I was taking photos, he almost scared me to death.¡± This time, the one who spoke was the girl who had been caught by Luo Tao secretly taking photos after work that day. Li Guoguo smiled lightly: ¡°He¡¯s alright! Brother-inw is quite gentle to me. Maybe Mo Yan is often jealous so brother-inw won¡¯t show his gentle side in front of others.¡± ¡°No way! Supervisor Mo is so jealous? She doesn¡¯t look like she would!¡± The girl continued to say. ¡°Haha, after all, brother-inw is so nice! Mo Yan should be jealous! If she wasn¡¯t jealous, why would Mo Yan not be willing to let brother-inw help you to trade stocks? This is also a way for Mo Yan to win people¡¯s hearts!¡± ¡°That¡¯s true! It seems that Supervisor Mo is a little stingy! Guoguo, you¡¯re good. You¡¯re so close to the god of stocks. You¡¯ll be rich in the future!¡± The short-haired woman continued to tter. Li Guoguo said generously: ¡°It¡¯s okay. Mo Yan doesn¡¯t buy stocks. I can always ask brother-inw. I¡¯ll tell you when brother-inw teaches me.¡± ¡°Aiya! Guoguo is too nice. We¡¯ll treat you to a meal another time.¡± In the cafeteria, the sound of Li Guoguo¡¯s table gradually grew louder. Xu Wan nced at it a few times and asked Mo Yan: ¡°What¡¯s going on between you and Li Guoguo?¡± Mo Yan followed Xu Wan¡¯s line of sight and chuckled: ¡°Nothing much. It¡¯s pretty good now. She won¡¯t disturb me, and I don¡¯t have to be afraid of her scheming anymore.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible. This girl! She probably doesn¡¯t have any ulterior motives, but she¡¯s just not too capable.¡± Xu Wan gave such an evaluation. Actually, Mo Yan did not really want to befriend Li Guoguo back then. Sister Xu had also reminded her several times, but every time Li Guoguo followed her, she was too embarrassed to refuse, so she could only ept it. Now that they were slowly distancing themselves, it was also a way for them to part on good terms. ¡°Yes, I took her to a cocktail party to do a project, and I think it¡¯s almost done.¡± Mo Yan replied. ¡°I think you should be more careful of her.¡± Qiao Li suddenly spoke, causing Mo Yan and the other two to look at her. ¡°There¡¯s greed in her eyes, especially when she looks at you, Mo Yan.¡± After Mo Yan was promoted to supervisor, they had a few meals together. Qiao Li had discovered this at that time. Among the seven deadly sins, there was greed. However, under certain circumstances, if one did not be the greedy person that others described, it would be difficult to provide for one¡¯s family. Living in a materialistic society, if everyone did not have the slightest bit of greed in their hearts, how could they work hard to make their lives better? However, this kind of greed treated life and work. In other words, it was a kind of desire for a better life. However, this kind of greed could not be ced on a person. If the opposite sex could be said to be someone you wanted to pursue, but if it was ced on a person of the same sex, what did you want? After Qiao Li finished speaking, Mo Yan fell silent. Li Guoguo had never cared about her job, so she probably did not covet her position. N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content. Then, all she had was the benefits that she could bring to Li Guoguo as a supervisor, as well as Luo Tao. Mo Yan rubbed her temples and thanked Qiao Li, indicating that she understood. Chapter 248 Chapter 248 Before the end of work, Li Guoguo knocked on the door and came to the office. Seeing Li Guoguo put on a harmless smile, Mo Yan¡¯s temples throbbed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong toe to my office to look for me?.¡± ¡°Mo Yan, isn¡¯t It Saturday tomorrow? I want to invite you to go shopping, okay?¡± Mo Yan disagreed a million times in her heart, but she still did not say it out loud. She pinched the space between her eyebrows and asked: ¡°If you have something to say, just say it! Don¡¯t beat around the bush.¡± ¡°Hehe! Mo Yan, how do you know that I have something to ask you?¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s smile was bright, and she was not polite at all. Mo Yan waspletely convinced. She would not visit for no reason. Did she not know what kind of person she was? Just as Li Guoguo was about to speak, there was a knock on the office door. ¡°Come in.¡± Mo Yan looked up. It was thepany¡¯s finance department. ¡°Supervisor Mo, there¡¯s a document that I need you to check and sign.¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll take a look first.¡± After saying that, Mo Yan nced at the time. There were only twenty minutes left until the end of the day. She said to the finance department: ¡°Is this document urgent? If it¡¯s not urgent, you can get off work first. I¡¯ll check it and give it to you Monday morning.¡± The finance looked at the time and nodded: ¡°Okay.¡± After the treasurer left, Mo Yan picked up the document and started to check it seriously. Other than wanting to work with her when she talked about business, Li Guoguo basically had nothing to talk to her about at work, so she put Li Guoguo aside first. This checksted for an hour, which was already far beyond the time when she was supposed to get off work. However, she did not expect Li Guoguo to still be waiting for her when Mo Yan raised her head. This was a little unusual. Li Guoguo had always been free to enter and leave her office whenever she wanted. This was the first time she was still waiting for her when she was working. ¡°What is it? Tell me!¡± Mo Yan said as she tidied up the table. ¡°That¡¯s right! Mo Yan, I heard that the Mo family is going to hold a charity banquet soon. Mo Yan, Can you give me an invitation?¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s eyes were full of hope as she spoke. Mo Yan frowned. She did not understand what Li Guoguo was thinking. Since she had a way to find out about the Mo family¡¯s party on Saturday, how could she not hear about her and Mo Lian¡¯s ipatible rtionship? Putting aside whether she could get what she wanted at the party, if Mo Lian knew that she had a good rtionship with her, she might be humiliated at the party. ¡°That¡¯s not a good ce to go. I suggest you don¡¯t go.¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s face fell: ¡°Mo Yan, I just want to go and take a look! It shouldn¡¯t be difficult for you to get an invitation letter from the Mo family, right?¡± ¡°My rtionship with the Mo family is very poor. If I didn¡¯t have to go, I wouldn¡¯t go.¡± Hearing Mo Yan¡¯s words, Li Guoguo¡¯s face turned even uglier. ¡°Mo Yan, I just want to take a look. It¡¯s just an invitation. Please help!¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s tone was a little off, but when she thought of the need to get an invitation through Mo Yan, her tone softened. Mo Yan was a little impatient from her grinding. She rubbed her throbbing temples and said: ¡°I can indeed get an invitation, but I have to make it clear that if anything bad happens at the banquet, don¡¯t me me for not reminding you.¡± Li Guoguo only heard the first sentence, but the rest of the sentence was selectively ignored by her. ¡°Mo Yan, you¡¯re so nice! I love you to death! I heard that the banquet is tomorrow night, so the invitation letter¡­¡± ¡°Give me your address. When the invitation letter arrives at my ce tomorrow, I¡¯ll find someone to send it to you.¡± ¡°Okay! Mo Yan, then I¡¯ll wait for your good news tomorrow!¡± After saying this, Li Guoguo skipped out. Mo Yan looked at the tightly shut door and fell into deep thought. In the past, when she saw Li Guoguo like this, she would alwaysugh at her childish temper. But now, when she saw her, she only felt that she was pretentious. She did not understand why Li Guoguo was in the mood to call her Mo Yan. Behind her back, she was thinking about how to get some benefits from her. She and Li Guoguo did not have a deep rtionship, to begin with, and it had been exhausted by the repeated schemes. She felt annoyed and nauseous at the thought of having designs on her friend¡¯s husband. All of a sudden, Mo Yan felt that it was great to have a close friend like Xu Wan as aparison. At the very least, it would let her know who was the scheming one. For example, Xu Wan would not do anything like Li Guoguo. Chapter 249 Chapter 249 ¡°You look really good today,¡± Xu Qing sized up Mo Yan andplimented her. Mo Yan had always denied her good looks and put little effort into makeup or styling, usually going to work bare-faced with a simple ponytail. However, she was pretty by nature. Putting on makeup made her dazzlingly gorgeous, especially her pair of big, sparkling eyes, which were especially cute. Mo Yan lowered her head and looked at her light blue dress. She mostly wore clothes formuting and had few dresses suitable for such a grand asion. In contrast, Mo Lian had a wardrobe full of limited edition dresses. ¡°Since I¡¯ve already decided to participate in the charity g, I must treat it seriously.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were fixed, and a quiet smile hung on her face. ¡°You¡¯d better be careful. After all¡­¡± Xu Qing sighed, thinking about the Mo family and their antics. Although it was a charity g on the front, it was in fact a banquet set up to scheme against others. ¡°I know.¡± Mo Yan nodded. As soon as she went downstairs, she met Li Guoguo, who had been waiting for her for a long time. Li Guoguo¡¯s makeup was very exquisite. She had determinedly spent several months of her sry to buy a beautiful dress that made her appear radiant. The moment she saw Mo Yan, her entire face immediately fell. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Mo Yan had only briefly modified her makeup, but standing next to her, Li Guoguo paled inparison. Exasperated, Li Guoguo walked to Mo Yan¡¯s side with a smile and begged her to bring her along. ¡°I¡¯ve already given you the invitation. You can go over yourself.¡± Mo Yan sighed with a headache. It was already very troublesome to deal with the Mo family, but she still had to deal with Li Guoguo. ¡°No.¡± Li Guoguo was leaning against and practically blocking the door, looking at Mo Yan obediently. ¡°I was hoping that you could introduce me.¡± Mo Yan rolled her eyes and stepped forward to pull Li Guoguo away. ¡°You can walk there on your own. I have no obligation to send you there.¡± After saying that, she mmed the car door and left, leaving Li Guoguo screaming from behind without any intention of slowing down. Li Guoguo fell and got up again. The clothes she had spent a lot of money buying had be a big mess. She was anxious and angry, and she could not help but burst into tears. The charity g was scheduled to be held on the first floor of a famous five-star hotel. Mo Yan arrived a littlete. When she arrived, she saw that Mo Lian was already waiting for her outside, and her face showed some impatience. Mo Lian took a few quick steps forward. She was used to being arrogant, and in the Mo family, she was in charge. It was clearly the Mo family¡¯s charity g, and it was meant to humiliate Mo Yan, but Mo Yan was more beautiful than herself. Mo Lian was so angry that she immediately tried to p Mo Yan¡¯s face, but Mo Yan moved quickly enough to avoid it. She grabbed Mo Lian¡¯s wrist first, and her strength was so strong that thetter cried out in pain. ¡°Mo Yan, let go of me!¡± Mo Lian snorted angrily. After her sister married Luo Tao, she became bolder and more disobedient. Mo Lian looked Mo Yan up and down, and the corners of her lips curled up in disdain. ¡°I thought you were enjoying life with Luo Tao, and that you had be a decent person. I didn¡¯t expect you to still be wearing branded clothes from three or four years ago. It¡¯s already outdated. This set of mine is that brand¡¯stest model. I just took it off a big celebrity, and it¡¯s the only one in the country.¡± As if havingpletely forgotten how humble she was when she begged Mo Dong, Mo Lian demonstrated themon belief in clothes making the man. Mo Yan nodded slightly. She simply felt that her set of clothes was appropriate andfortable. As for what brand they were and which year they were released for sale, she never paid attention to it, much less be affected by Mo Lian¡¯s exposure. Mo Yan replied softly, ¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t dress as well as you did. With your set of clothes, those who don¡¯t know that you are attending the charity g would think that you are attending a peacock exhibition.¡± ¡°You!¡± Mo Lian was so angry that she stomped her feet. ¡°I¡¯ll go in first. If you don¡¯t feel embarrassed about remaining outside, you can continue standing there.¡± After saying that, Mo Yan walked in without looking back. The charity g was about to start, so she had no time to argue with Mo Lian. Mo Lian¡¯s face was flushed red. She had wanted to humiliate Mo Yan earlier, but she unexpectedly failed to do so. If she stayed in public any longer, she would only make a fool of herself. Mo Lian took a few quick steps and caught up to Mo Yan. She gritted her teeth and red at her. ¡°Mo Yan, just you wait. I won¡¯t let you be so smug all the time.¡± Mo Yan only smiled, and the two of them entered the main hall one after the other. Chapter 250 Chapter 250 The charity g was lively and grand. The entire first floor had been reserved by Mo Real Estate, and the decorations were resplendent. Most of the people present were celebrities and elites from the business world. Mo Real Estate had indeed put in a lot of effort in organizing the g. Mo Yan nced at Mo Lian, who was standing beside her and ring at her like a tiger. She sighed with some regret. It was a great pity that Mo Lian simply saw the charity g as a weapon to defeat her. By the time Mo Lian and Mo Yan arrived, most guests were present. Both of them were beautiful young ladies, and they immediately attracted the attention of many people. There were even some who sized them up. ¡°That must be the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Mo Lian. She is indeed beautiful. No wonder Mo Dong wanted to hide her. Even I can¡¯t bear to have such a beautiful daughter appear in public and be eyed by other men.¡± A man in his early thirties clicked his tongue and sighed. His gaze remained fixated on Mo Lian for a long time. ¡°Other men? Aren¡¯t you talking about yourself? But the Mo family must have a high standard for selecting a son-inw. Someone like you won¡¯t even be spared a nce.¡± The man standing beside him shook his head vigorously, and his gaze fell on Mo Yan. ¡°I like the one beside her. She¡¯s pretty and not ostentatious. But why haven¡¯t I seen her before?¡± The man frowned. He and Mo Lian were considered very good friends, and he had seen most of Mo Lian¡¯s friends and close friends. There was no reason for him not to have met Mo Yan before. ¡°Who said that the Mo family only has one daughter?¡± A cold voice came from the corner. The two of them looked in the direction of the voice, but no one was there. It was as if they had imagined it. ¡°The other daughter of the Mo family?¡± With that thought, the duo turned to look at Mo Yan. She, who looked good and had an extraordinary temperament, was worthy of being called the daughter of the Mo family. Mo Lian had a guest to greet, so she couldn¡¯t deal with Mo Yan for the time being. In a good mood, Mo Yan walked around the venue. A staff member came forward and handed her a white fox mask; it was made of silver and had red patterns on it. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Mo Yan blinked, not understanding what was going on. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°This is a program of our charity g. Men and women will put on masks and dance while getting to know each other. Thest event of the charity g is the unveiling. The guests will go up on stage one by one, and whoever bids the highest price can remove the corresponding guest¡¯s mask,¡± the staff member exined to Mo Yan with a smile. Mo Yan held the mask and looked at the guests around her. Most of them had already put on their masks. Following a different staff member, they walked toward the dance floor. ¡°It¡¯s really showy.¡± Mo Yan shrugged and gave a very pertinent evaluation. ¡°All the ie from the unveiling segment will be donated to the International Children¡¯s Fund. It¡¯s very meaningful,¡± the staff member saw Mo Yan put on the mask and exined to her with a smile. He also led her toward the dance floor. Mo Yan had only taken a few steps when she saw the arrogant Mo Lian. Thetter was indeed very ostentatious. She was actually wearing a pure gold cat mask, which stood out among a sea of silver fox masks. Mo Lian passed by and recognized Mo Yan by her dress. She raised her leg to stomp on it, but Mo Yan dodged to the side. Mo Lian, who had missed, lost her bnce and fell straight forward. Fortunately, the staff next to her helped her up. Otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground. In front of the many guests, Mo Lian could not afford to show an emotionally charged response. She could only quickly tidy up her dress and walk onto the dance floor with her head held high. Mo Yan had just entered the dance floor when a man came over and invited her to dance with him. The fox mask covered his entire face, and it was impossible to tell his identity or age. Although Mo Yan had danced before, she was a little unfamiliar with it after a long time of not practicing it. Although she identally stepped on the man a few times, thetter did not take it to heart at all. He evenforted Mo Yan gently, ¡°Just follow my feet. Don¡¯t worry, I will lead you.¡± Mo Yan had heard the same thing from Luo Tao on asions not rted to dancing. He would always ask her to leave it to him, his calm andposed tone giving her a sense of security. Mo Yan bit her lip slightly, missing Luo Tao a little. She didn¡¯t know what he had been busy with recently, but the two of them hadn¡¯t talked for a long time. ¡°Even though I said that, you have to concentrate on dancing with me.¡± Su Hai shook his head. ¡°If you think about other men while dancing with me, I¡¯ll be sad.¡± Chapter 251 Chapter 251 ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Mo Yan lowered her head and apologized, her eyes drooping. ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s okay. I, Su Hai, am not such a stingy person. Moreover, you are so cute. A beautiful woman should have some privileges.¡± ¡°Su Hai?¡± Mo Yan was stunned. She had heard of Su Hai¡¯s name before. Although his family had a big business, he was flirtatious. It seemed like the rumors were true. Coincidentally, thepany had a business deal to discuss with the Su family. ¡°Mr. Su, we have a coboration¡ª¡± Before Mo Yan could finish her words, Su Hai stopped her and winked while smiling. ¡°Little beauty, I only want to dance now. I don¡¯t want to talk about business.¡± Although Su Hai¡¯s words were said in a little jest, his meaning was very clear. Mo Yan understood it. Despite feeling aggrieved, she did not make Su Hai unhappy anymore, and the two of them would finish the dance very quickly. ¡°Little beauty, it was very happy to dance with you. I will personally take off your mask. Just you wait.¡± Su Hai left the dance floor with those words. After all, his main purpose for going to the charity g was for the Su family¡¯s business, not to pursue a beauty. Very soon, it was thest segment of the charity g ¨C the unveiling segment. First, the men went up on stage to take off their masks. Perhaps it was nothing much, but there were only one or two people bidding. The venue was very awkward. When it was time for thedies to go on stage, the host was especially alert. Mo Lian adjusted her golden mask and looked around arrogantly, her eyes looking disdainful. ¡°You can decideter. My price for taking off my mask must be the highest in the entire venue,¡± Mo Lian said arrogantly and looked at Mo Yan from the corner of her eyes. ¡°As for her, we¡¯ll think of a way to make her fail to have a matching bid or make a fool of herselfter. Anyway, with her poor appearance, no one will take her.¡± Although Mo Lian said that, she felt unsettled. Mo Yan¡¯s outfit was too beautiful. Maybe some rich and capricious young master would spend money on her. Mo Lian wanted to give her a few more words of advice, but the host was already calling her to go on stage. The host was obviously counting on her to go up and make the first shot. ¡°What a proud peacock.¡± Su Hai went to Mo Yan¡¯s side at some point. He sat down sideways with half of his body leaning close to her. Mo Yan took a step to the side and said, ¡°Mr. Su, men and women should not be unnecessarily intimate. It¡¯s better for us to keep a distance.¡± Su Hai had already taken off his mask. His frivolous personality aside, he was as handsome as a movie star. A few girls had bid up the price topete for his final unveiling, and his final bid ended at five million. It was an astronomical figure that Mo Yan had never dreamed of. The money was enough to pay for her mother¡¯s medicine for a long time. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. I¡¯m going to spend a lot of money on youter. I¡¯m already going to pay so much. Can¡¯t I sit closer?¡± Su Hai clutched his chest and said with great sadness. Su Hai¡¯s ability to act coquettishly was his weapon in the field of love. He had won the hearts of countless girls that way. Unfortunately, Mo Yan didn¡¯t fall for it. She silently nced at Su Hai, then quietly moved to the side and looked around. It was probably her imagination, but she felt that someone was silently watching her. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. Meanwhile, Su Hai still didn¡¯t give up. He audaciously moved closer and almost pressed himself on Mo Yan. ¡°Little beauty, I¡¯ve warned you. When you¡¯re with me, you can¡¯t think about other men.¡± Mo Yan sighed and straightened her body slightly. ¡°Mr. Su, you must have misunderstood. I¡¯m not with you. At most, we just danced together. I¡¯m not interested in participating in the unveilingter, and it¡¯s not worth you spending so much money to unveil me.¡± Mo Yan was very regretful. If she had known that the charity g would be so boring, she would have stayed at home and read books or watched dramas. At the very least, she would have had more freedom. The venue was very quiet, so many people had heard what Mo Yan had just said. Meanwhile, Mo Lian stood on the stage. Her unveiling had been auctioned off for 10 million. Before she could be happy about her bid, she heard Mo Yan¡¯s nonchnt words. As for the guests, they looked at each other. All their eyes were then focused on Mo Yan. How could they still remember that the main character at that moment was Mo Lian? ¡°That¡¯s Su Hai. He¡¯s the most willing to spend money on women. I think the highest bidder tonight is him!¡± ¡°But it¡¯s only tens of millions. Who would care for that amount?¡± Mo Lian, standing stiffly on the stage, felt that she had been greatly humiliated. Chapter 252 - He Is Huo Zhen Chapter 252 - He Is Huo Zhen After Mo Yan finished her words, she lifted her dress and left. Su Hai was left frozen on the spot, along with the guests who were still hungry for more. Mo Lian angrily walked down from the stage, her entire body trembling in anger. She had wanted to humiliate Mo Yan and had also set up a trap. In the end, Mo Yan did not even think about joining in the unveiling segment. So angry that her cheeks were swollen, Mo Lian called out to the man sitting next to her, ¡°I don¡¯t care. You have to help me take care of Mo Yan.¡± The man was in a difficult position. ¡°Miss, it¡¯s not appropriate, is it? Those present tonight are all business partners of the Mo family. If they were to find out, the Mo family would probably have a hard time doing business in the future. Moreover, she has been eyed by Su Hai. We are also following up on several projects with the Su family. This is not the time to go against Su Hai.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care.¡± Mo Lian knew the pros and cons of her n, but she still refused to let it go. The man could only nod and retreat. Hemented that Mo Lian was too willful. If he continued to indulge her, one day, she would bring great trouble to the Mo family. Mo Yan had just walked out of the venue when a hand grabbed her wrist. That hand was extraordinarily strong. Without any exnation, it dragged her into a safe passage at the side. As the light in the passage was broken, it was dark and long. The man¡¯s entire face was hidden in the darkness. It was impossible to see his face clearly. Moreover, he was wearing a mask, his eyes staring dangerously at Mo Yan. He looked like a guest at a party, but all the men had already taken off their masks. There was no reason for him to still be wearing a mask. Mo Yan bit her lip while the man squeezed her wrist even harder. ¡°Luo Tao?¡± Mo Yan subconsciously opened her mouth, but she quickly denied the answer. Although the man¡¯s figure was very simr to Luo Tao¡¯s, both tall and big, the feeling he gave people waspletely different. Moreover, she had circled around the charity g several times that day, but she still couldn¡¯t find Luo Tao. Moreover, Luo Tao was usually very gentle to her. He wouldn¡¯t have kept squeezing her wrist so hard even if it was to bring her to a safe passage. No matter how painfully she scrunched her face, he had no intention of letting go. ¡°You are not him,¡± Mo Yan added. ¡°Ha.¡± The manughed. ¡°Of course I am not him. And I am not afraid of you finding out that there is no Luo Tao in this world. He has only been using a fake name to deceive you and is with you to hide his true identity. He is the eldest young scion of the Huo family, Huo Zhen.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Mo Yan interrupted without clearly catching what the man had said in the second half. She was so shocked that she gulped. Of course, she knew about the eldest young master of the Huo family, Huo Zhen. He was a genius who dominated the business world. His vision and methods were very sharp. None of those old foxes in the business world was a match for him. In just a few short years, he had created an iparable business empire. His name was frequently published in newspapers and magazines. ¡°No, you¡¯re lying to me. He can¡¯t be Luo Tao.¡± Mo Yan shook her head. Luo Tao was proficient in stock trading and knew the situation of every industry like the back of his hand, and she had never lost money when she bought stocks with him. However, she had never thought that the person next to her was actually the unattainable Huo Zhen. ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you.¡± The man smiled contemptuously and sized Mo Yan up from head to toe. She was very beautiful, especially with her exquisite and beautiful outfit today. He did not expect that the prideful legendary young master of the Huo family would give in to the temptation of beautiful women. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. He held Mo Yan¡¯s hand even harder. ¡°You will see him again soon. When the timees, you can ask him as much as you want and ask him what his rtionship with the Huo family is.¡± With that, he searched his body with his other hand and found a thin needle. He then stabbed it into Mo Yan¡¯s neck and pushed it in. Mo Yan struggled with all her strength, but there was no strength in her body at all. A few secondster, shepletely lost consciousness. She closed her eyes and copsed to the ground. The man smiled and tugged at the corner of his mouth. He simply lifted her up and strode through the safe passage to the outside. A ck van stopped outside to receive them. The man carried Mo Yan and quickly got into the van. After the door closed with a bang, the van quickly drove away from the scene. Everything happened without anyone knowing. Meanwhile, at the charity g, Su Hai searched every corner but could not find Mo Yan. He walked back and forth with no intention of giving up and called his assistant over, ¡°I don¡¯t care what methods you use. You have to find out the information about the woman who danced with me tonight. I want to know who she is and where she is. Bring her before me.¡± Chapter 253 - Im Here for the Money Chapter 253 - I''m Here for the Money When Mo Yan woke up again, she found herself locked in a dark room. Outside, she could vaguely hear the sound of a car passing by. The room was extremely dark. There was only a yellow incandescentmp, and the light was only enough to illuminate a small area. A man in his early forties was sitting not far away. He looked at her from top to bottom with interest, and a disgusting smile hung on his face. Seeing that Mo Yan had woken up, he licked his lips greedily. ¡°You woke up earlier than I expected. Are you satisfied wit my ce?¡± Mo Yan recognized that he was the man who had taken her away at the party. ¡°What exactly do you want with me?¡± Mo Yan sat upright and looked around. The decoration of the room was surprisingly simple. There were only two chairs and a table. On the table was the box lunch that the man had just finished. It seemed to be a temporarily abandoned warehouse. The man did not answer immediately. He moved the stool closer to Mo Yan and used his dirty hands to lift Mo Yan¡¯s chin. The smile on his lips deepened. ¡°The woman that Huo Zhen likes is indeed very beautiful. I wonder how you taste like.¡± ¡°Let go of me!¡± Mo Yan moved to the side and red at the man with gritted teeth. ¡°You want to use me to threaten Huo Zhen?¡± She, who had managed to avoid the man¡¯s dirty hands with great difficulty, still looked at him with full vignce. ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Money, of course.¡± The man sneered. Everyone knew that the Huo family was as rich as a country, and Huo Zhen was a strategic business magnate with a personal worth of more than ten billion, not to mention the rising Huo Corporation. ¡°Do you think you can get Huo Zhen to pay by using me as hostage?¡± Mo Yan smiled bitterly. Luo Tao, her bedmate, doted on her very much, and they were a loving couple in the eyes of others. Luo Tao would take care of her, be considerate of her, and give her a sense of security. He was the love of her life. However, when Mo Yan thought about how Luo Tao, who was so good to her, actually lied to her about his identity¡­ ¡°Of course. I¡¯ve done my investigation. He likes you very much.¡± The man smiled and stroked Mo Yan¡¯s face with his finger. ¡°As long as I say that you¡¯re in my hands, I can ask Huo Zhen for money. He¡¯s so forthright, so asking for 30 to 50 million is definitely not a problem. No, even if I want 100 million, he must give it to me.¡± ¡°100 million? How could he say that?¡± Mo Yan thought. ¡°I think you¡¯re mistaken.¡± She smiled as she avoided the man¡¯s hand. Although she was smiling, her current face was uglier than a crying one. ¡°If he really liked me, he wouldn¡¯t have let me live my life so depressingly. I don¡¯t know how much he is worth, but I have to work hard every day for three meals a day. I always bargain with the vegetable stall owner. Whenever I can get a 10 or 20 cents discount, I will feel that I have gotten a huge discount.¡± Recalling her memories with Luo Tao, Mo Yan felt a little ufortable. In fact, she never cared about Luo Tao¡¯s identity, but having to hear from others that he was Huo Zhen, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little disappointed. ¡°Are you kidding me? !¡± Getting a little anxious, the man gave Mo Yan a fierce kick. He kidnapped Mo Yan for money. If he could not get money from her, wouldn¡¯t his effort be wasted? ¡°I¡¯m not kidding. You were at the charity g. When I was humiliated by Mo Lian, where was Huo Zhen? Moreover, if he really fancied me like what you said, I would be wearing thetest and most beautiful dress. How could it be something from five or six years ago?¡± Mo Yan let out a long sigh and looked down at her own dress. When she bought it, Huo Zhen advised her to choose the most beautiful andtest one. At that time, in order to save money, she had specially chosen the current dress. But now that she thought about it, he must have thought that she was ridiculous. With his status, he would naturally not care about a few hundred dors less. Perhaps in his eyes, she had always been a joke. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. The man widened his eyes in disbelief and subconsciously wanted to curse. However, he looked at the dress on Mo Yan¡¯s body. It was indeed the style from five or six years ago. If someone else instead of the naturally beautiful Mo Yan had worn the dress, the dress would not have stood out as much. Mo Yan sighed. She could not count on Huo Zhen. The key was to rely on self-help. She assumed the usual temperament she used to discuss business and smiled at the man. ¡°Or I can give you money. Although it¡¯s not much, unlike with Huo Zhen, at least you¡¯re guaranteed to get something.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s words sounded sincere. Chapter 254 - Target Him Instead Chapter 254 - Target Him Instead ¡°How much money can you give me?¡± The man snorted. Without waiting for Mo Yan to speak, he quickly smiled contemptuously. ¡°Forget it. Huo Zhen is worth billions. How can youpare? If you had the money, why would you be wearing clothes from five or six years ago?¡± With Mo Yan¡¯s face even barer than her pocket, the man did not like her. He wanted to gamble on how much Mo Yan meant to Huo Zhen. ¡°Of course I don¡¯t have any money.¡± Mo Yan spread out her hands. ¡°But do you know Su Hai? The Su family is in business like the Huo family, and the Su family has been in business for decades. They have umted a lot of wealth, and Su Hai likes to spend money on women. Isn¡¯t it easier to take his money than Huo Zhen¡¯s?¡± ¡°Su Hai?¡± The man frowned. He had heard of this name before. ¡°But, what does Su Hai have to do with you?¡± ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying. Since you were able to take me away from the charity g, you must have been watching me from the beginning to the end. The person who danced with me was Su Hai. After that, he took off his mask and sat beside me. He clearly said that he would spend a lot of money on me. Wouldn¡¯t you be able to get a lot of money from a man who spends tens of millions on removing others¡¯ masks?¡± Although it was only the first time they met, Mo Yan spoke as if they had something going on. The man¡¯s expression was a little strange. Although Mo Yan¡¯s words could not be trusted, he had seen Su Hai sitting beside Mo Yan with his own eyes. His actions were also very intimate. He had also heard of Su Hai¡¯s great name and knew that he especially liked to spend money on women. ¡°Compared to Huo Zhen, who isn¡¯t even willing to talk about his identity, I suggest you try Su Hai.¡± Mo Yan curled the corners of her lips. Although her heart was still in turmoil, she looked very calm, as if she had a n in mind. ¡°I¡¯ll trust you this once.¡± The man gritted his teeth and finally made a difficult decision. Compared to Su Hai, Huo Zhen was an iron te. If he really touched Huo Zhen¡¯s sore spot, even if he got the money, he wouldn¡¯t have the life to spend it. After the man finished talking, he made a phone call and asked his men to release the news that Mo Yan was in their hands. As long as Su Hai wanted it, they could send her to his bed. After the phone call, the man left and did not forget to stuff the lunchbox in the corner into Mo Yan¡¯s hands. ¡°You better not try anything funny, or I can¡¯t promise what I will do to you.¡± Mo Yan bit her lip and started eating quietly. She pondered as she ate. The man¡¯s motive was very obvious. He was doing it for the money without a specific target in mind. As long as he could get money, it didn¡¯t matter whether it was Huo Zhen or Su Hai. Unfortunately, she didn¡¯t have money. Mo Yan carefully looked around the closed space again. There were no windows, only a door for the exit. The man must be guarding the door twenty-four hours a day. If she wanted to go out, she could only force her way through. But whether it was her body or physique, she was far inferior to him. ¡­ ¡°What did you say? Mo Yan disappeared halfway through the charity g, and her whereabouts are still unknown?¡± Huo Zhen mmed the table and stood up, a sharp glint shing across his eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to protect her well? What were you doing?¡± Before Huo Zhen¡¯s overly intense aura, the few security guards were so scared that they did not dare to speak. They silently took a big step back. ¡°Huo Zhen, don¡¯t be angry. Isn¡¯t she just a little girl? If she¡¯s gone, just look for her again.¡± Huo Yu yawnedzily. Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, she was red at by Huo Zhen. It was rare for her to see Huo Zhen so angry. She immediately covered her mouth with her hand and changed her words, ¡°What I mean is, Mo Yan is blessed by the heavens. There won¡¯t be any problems.¡± Huo Zhen¡¯s expression turned slightly better. ¡°To put it bluntly, the charity g is a banquet set up to trip her over. Don¡¯t you think Mo Lian could have been the one behind it? I¡¯ve investigated and found out that Mo Lian is not an easy person to deal with. Moreover, she has a lot of grudges against Mo Yan. Perhaps she was the one who kidnapped Mo Yan.¡± Huo Yu¡¯s analysis made a lot of sense. ¡°But I don¡¯t think so. If Mo Lian was the one who did it, it should have happened after the charity g ended. To capture Mo Yan halfway and not have the chance to humiliate her in public, that is not Mo Lian¡¯s usual style.¡± Qin Yuan thought for a while and rejected Huo Yu¡¯s earlier deduction. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°Qin Yuan! Are you really going against me?¡± Huo Yu cursed. ¡°Qin Yuan is right. I also think that Mo Lian didn¡¯t do this,¡± Huo Zhen continued after Qin Yuan¡¯s words. Hearing him say that, Huo Yu could only quiet down. However, she still indignantly stole a nce at Qin Yuan. Chapter 255 - You Cant Go Back Chapter 255 - You Can''t Go Back ¡°See, only a not-so-smart person like you would think that Mo Lian was behind this,¡± Qin Yuan took the opportunity to mock her. ¡°What did you say?¡± Huo Yu immediately rushed up and wrestled with Qin Yuan. Unfortunately, she was quickly subdued by Qin Yuan. Qin Yuan did not want to hurt Huo Yu, so he only grabbed her wrists and did not make any unnecessary movements. ¡°Qin Yuan, you¡¯re hurting me!¡± Huo Yu cursed in a low voice. There was actually a hint of crying in her words. Qin Yuan was so scared that he immediately let go of Huo Yu. He did not expect that the little girl was actually faking it. She took the opportunity to step on his foot ruthlessly. Then, she walked back to Huo Zhen¡¯s back triumphantly. ¡°Huo Zhen, you take care of your sister.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°All of you, be quiet!¡± Mo Yan¡¯s safety was at risk, and he was not in the mood to watch them flirt. ¡°I have to go back. Since Mo Yan went missing at the charity g, there must be some traces left behind.¡± Huo Zhen rubbed his aching head. ¡°No, it¡¯s too risky for you to go back! They have been looking for you all over the world. Wouldn¡¯t you be falling into a trap if you go back?¡± Qin Yuan objected as expected. Huo Zhen had dealt with those people all year round, so it was impossible for him not to know their methods. ¡°Yes, you can¡¯t go back. Besides, Mo Yan might already been taken away to another city. I¡¯ll send someone to look for her now,¡± Huo Yu added. It was rare for her to see eye to eye with Qin Yuan on the matter. ¡°I know, but I have to go back.¡± Seeing that Qin Yuan still wanted to persuade him, Huo Zhen added, ¡°If it was Huo Yu who was kidnapped, would you still stop me?¡± Qin Yuan fell silent. The atmosphere was also a little strange. ¡°I won¡¯t answer a hypothetical question,¡± Qin Yuan quickly added. Unfortunately, Huo Zhen and Huo Yu had already noticed his panic. Huo Yu pretended not to care and looked elsewhere. Her expression was very interesting. ¡­ ¡°Your dinner for today.¡± The man threw a box of rice that resembled a pig¡¯s food in front of Mo Yan. He himself was chewingrge pieces of beef with a smug look on his face. Mo Yan used her spoon to mix the box of rice a few times, but she had no appetite at all. ¡°Hurry up and eat. I won¡¯t let you starve to death. If you don¡¯t want to eat, I¡¯ll just pour it into your mouth!¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯ll eat. I don¡¯t want to starve to death.¡± Mo Yan rolled her eyes at the man. ¡°But I really can¡¯t eat this. Then again, if I get too scrawny, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to spend so much money to buy me.¡± The man looked at Mo Yan up and down. What she said sounded very reasonable at first nce. Mo Yan wouldn¡¯t look good if she became thin due to hunger, and it would be troublesome if she couldn¡¯t retain Su Hai¡¯s attention. ¡°Then what do you want to eat? I¡¯ll prepare it for you, all right?¡± The manpromised, feeling that Mo Yan was quite interesting. ¡°I want to eat chicken drumstick. That isn¡¯t too much to ask, right?¡± Mo Yan nced over and squeezed out a smile to look at the man. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll buy it for you,¡± the man gritted his teeth and agreed quite straightforwardly. Soon, he brought chicken drumsticks back. Mo Yan began to eat it in front of him. However, she secretly hid the chicken bones in a ce that the man could not see. She had no choice but toe up with such a scheme; the man previously searched her body and took away all the sharp objects on her. ¡°My buddy has already told Su Hai about your situation. I hope he will be willing to spend money for you as you said.¡± He had also released the news to Huo Zhen. After all, he could not put all his eggs in one basket. After saying that, the man stood up and went out, closing the door heavily. Mo Yan moved her feet and walked to a remote corner. She squatted down and took out the chicken drumstick bone that she had just hidden, rubbed it on the ground, and sharpened it bit by bit. She looked extremely nervous, afraid that she would be discovered by the man. Meanwhile, Huo Zhen had already gotten off the ne using his alias, Luo Tao. He waspletely silent. Qin Yuan and Huo Yu had wanted to tag along, but Huo Zhen rejected them. Since his identity of Luo Tao was already exposed, by going back, he was essentially putting himself in danger. There was no need to drag two more people down with him. Having been demanded arge sum of money by Mo Yan¡¯s kidnapper, Huo Zhen was willing to fork out the money. However, he wouldn¡¯t tolerate the kidnapper touching his woman. He sneaked into an alley and hidpletely in the darkness. Like a hunter waiting for his prey to take the bait, he quietly watched. Bang! A sharp gunshot pierced through the night sky. Huo Zhen killed the assassin chasing after him with one shot. Then, he pointed his pistol at the other person¡¯s chest. ¡°Don¡¯t move, or I¡¯ll shoot. At such a close distance, even if you don¡¯t die, I can still make a hole in your body.¡± Chapter 256 - Retaliation Chapter 256 - Retaliation The man gulped and looked at Huo Zhen, not daring to breathe. ¡°Okay, let me ask you, where is she?¡± Huo Zhen¡¯s voice was low and threatening. His narrow eyes sized up the man. ¡°She, who is she?¡± The man widened his eyes in fear, clearly panicking. ¡°Bang.¡± Not getting the answer he wanted, Huo Zhen simply shot the man in the chest. After suffering a fatal injury, the man slumped to the ground like a pile of mud and soon stopped breathing. Huo Zhen stepped over him coldly, his eyes filled with anxiety. He lowered his head and fell silent, his expression grave. If Mo Yan wasn¡¯t here, where could she be? ¡°Catch him, don¡¯t let him escape.¡± Hearing this, Huo Zhen was even more certain that this group of people wasing for him. He shot dead another person, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness. ¡­ Mo Yan looked in the direction of the door. She was extremely nervous, and breathing heavily, not daring to be the slightest bit careless. Over the past few days, she had confirmed that it should be a small group that had kidnapped her. There were two men in charge of guarding her, and they took shifts. Besides the previous man, there was also anky guy who looked like a bamboo pole. That guy would always look at her with lecherous eyes. If it weren¡¯t for the other person greeting him, he would have already done something to her. It was thenky man¡¯s turn to watch over her that day. The man had been staring at Mo Yansciviously ever since mealtime. He would asionally reveal a strange smile. Mo Yan¡¯s eyes darkened. She covertly touched her clothes and looked at the man pitifully. ¡°I haven¡¯t showered for a few days. Can you find me two sets of clothes to change into, and let me have a rinse?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it not too much to ask?¡± Mo Yan looked at the man woefully again. The man hurriedly stood up and swallowed. He couldn¡¯t take his eyes off Mo Yan¡¯s fair skin. ¡°It¡¯s not too much. I¡¯ll go look for clean clothes for you now.¡± He had been reminded by his boss that this was a woman that he couldn¡¯t touch. However, to have a beauty like Mo Yan with him that he could only look at but not touch, he couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer. After the man left, Mo Yan crept to the door and pricked up her ears to listen for any movements outside. During the past few days, she could hear the sound of cars passing by from time to time¡­ From this, she could deduce that there should be a road nearby, and there were often cars passing by. This ce was not remote, and as long as she left this house, the chances of escaping were very high. The man returned very quickly and handed Mo Yan a set of extremely sexy pajamas and a bucket of clean water, telling her to clean herself up quickly. Then, he stopped where he was and crossed his arms in front of his chest. He had no intention of leaving. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±Mo Yan bit her lip and looked at the man guardedly. The man looked at Mo Yan confidently. ¡°Why should I leave? Besides, if I leave and you try to y tricks, what am I to do?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s was blushing furiously. She stared at the man with shame and hatred. ¡°Get out! I want another person toe in. Get out!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, he¡¯s not here today. I¡¯m the only one around. Even if you scream yourself senseless, no one wille to rescue you.¡± The man rudely interrupted Mo Yan. ¡°Then you get out too!¡± Mo Yan yelled at the man. The corner of her mouth imperceptibly curled into a smile. ¡°I¡¯m not going out. If you want to take a bath, then take a bath. If you don¡¯t want to take a bath, then forget it.¡± The man kept his feet nted to the ground and stared at Mo Yan, leaving no room for negotiation. ¡°You¡­¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the man dolefully. She struggled for a long time before she finally made a decision. She silently turned around and resignedly removed her clothes. The man¡¯s eyes lit up as he looked at Mo Yan greedily. Mo Yan took off her clothes very slowly. She could feel the man¡¯s burning gaze. Mo Yan swallowed and turned her head to look at the man in embarrassment and helplessness. With great difficulty, she said, ¡°Erm, I can¡¯t unzip the back. Can you help me?¡± Feeling that something was amiss, she added, ¡°What I mean is, just help me unzip. Nothing else!¡± ¡°Did you hear me?¡± Mo Yan asked again when she didn¡¯t get a reply. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. The man smiled but didn¡¯t give his agreement. He quietly walked behind Mo Yan. Closer, even closer. Mo Yan was so nervous that she did not dare to make a sound. Chapter 257 - Searching for Her Chapter 257 - Searching for Her The man lustfully approached Mo Yan little by little. His eyes burned as he stared at her fair and tender back. He could not look away. Mo Yan¡¯s nerves were tense and she dared not to make a sound. The man shifted yet closer to her. And then he was by her side, his heavy breathingnding on her neck. Mo Yan simply picked up a chicken bone and unhesitatingly thrust it into the man¡¯s chest! The chicken bone was as sharp as a dagger. Mo Yan also took the best opportunity and used all her strength! The man fell to the ground and looked at Mo Yan furiously. Mo Yan was unafraid and even ruthlessly stamped on his stomach twice before leaving without a backward nce. She did not forget to take along the clothes that the man had prepared for her! After leaving the room, Mo Yan realized that she was in an abandoned garage. She quickly escaped along a safe passage and stopped a car by the side of the road before speeding away in it. The man dragged his injured body and rushed out. Unfortunately, it was toote. There was no trace of Mo Yan and he didn¡¯t have a clue which direction she had headed. He cursed under his breath and dialed a number. ¡°D*** it, that woman escaped when I wasn¡¯t paying attention. However, I have already released the news. As long as Huo Zhen wants to rescue her, he will definitely appear in H City.¡± Mo Yan called the police in the car and repeatedly thanked the driver. She exchanged her jewelry for 200 yuan and entered a clothing store, hastily choosing an unremarkable shirt and pants for herself. Only after establishing that the man had not appeared did she let out a long sigh of relief. She was finally out of danger and alive. She thought about and struggled with it for some time before finally dialing Huo Zhen¡¯s number. Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. The phone number that Huo Zhen had left Mo Yan was very private. Other than him, almost no one else knew about it. Huo Zhen frowned as he looked at the vibrating phone. He sighed softly and hesitated for a long time before he picked it up. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Upon hearing Mo Yan¡¯s voice, Huo Zhen¡¯s expression became extremely jittery. He could not help but stand up. ¡°Where are you? I¡¯lle and pick you up immediately.¡± His low-pitched voice was filled with unconcealed joy. Mo Yan was paralyzed for a moment, and her eyes welled up with tears. She did not back down in the face of Mo Lian¡¯s endless humiliation. When she was threatened by the robbers, she was calm and collected. She had never shown any signs of weakness, but when Huo Zhen¡¯s voice came over the phone¡­ She was shaken. The inexplicable silence at the other end of the phone made Huo Zhen feel a little uneasy. ¡°Where are you? I¡¯ll go and find you!¡± Huo Zhen¡¯s voice was full of urgency. He could not help but care for Mo Yan. ¡°You¡­¡± Mo Yan was a little hesitant. She thought of the man who kidnapped her saying that she did not know the person by her side at all. He was still hiding many things from her. She wanted to question Huo Zhen, but she didn¡¯t know where to start. ¡°I¡¯m in City H, Fanghua Road.¡± ¡°Okay, stay there. I¡¯ll be over soon.¡± Huo Zhen was obviously relieved when he heard her disclosing her location. He didn¡¯t have time to say anything else and hurriedly disconnected the call. Mo Yan hung up the phone and quietly leaned against the wall. Her eyes were a little lost. ording to Huo Zhen, he would be here soon¡­ Was he in City H searching for her? Mo Yan couldn¡¯t make up her mind. Huo Zhen rushed to Fanghua Road without stopping. With his identity, he couldn¡¯t stay there for too long. He could be targeted at any time. ¡°Mo Yan.¡± At just a nce, he saw Mo Yan curled up in the corner. Her body was soiled and she had on simple short-sleeved shirt and pants. Like the wall beside her, she didn¡¯t stand out at all. It had been three days since she had disappeared from the charity g. He did not know what her living conditions had been like the past three days, and how much effort she had put in to escape from the kidnappers. Huo Zhen looked at Mo Yan, his gaze filled with anguish. Mo Yan still stood in ce uncertainly. Huo Zhen stepped forward to pull her over, and she subconsciously withdrew her hand. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Huo Zhen¡¯s frown deepened. Mo Yan had always been very obedient. This was the first time she had disobeyed him, and even appeared to have the intention of escaping from him. ¡°Luo Tao, I have something to ask you.¡± Mo Yan looked at Huo Zhen warily yet firmly. ¡°I¡¯ll be quick. It¡¯ll only take a minute of your time.¡± Huo Zhen frowned. Seeing that Mo Yan was so solemn, he hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded. ¡°Okay. Ask away.¡± Huo Zhen leaned against the wall and looked at Mo Yan quietly. The sunlight shone on his handsome face and Mo Yan¡¯s own, making her feel at ease. He was very trustworthy. Chapter 258 - Who Exactly Are You Chapter 258 - Who Exactly Are You Mo Yan stared at Huo Zhen for a long time. The anxiety that she had felt earlier had also eased by quite a bit because of his appearance. However, there was still a burden in her heart that was weighing her down. ¡°Luo Tao, who exactly are you?¡± Mo Yan held back for some time before deciding to go straight to the point. She looked into Luo Tao¡¯s eyes and enunciated each word clearly. ¡°The person who kidnapped me said that you are Huo Zhen. He can use me to ckmail you and make a lot of money.¡± Huo Zhen¡¯s eyes darkened, and his originally rxed brows furrowed once more. Mo Yan exhaled and continued, ¡°I¡¯ve never met Huo Zhen before, but I know that he¡¯s a famous business magnate with wealth beyond my imagination.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Huo Zhen silently regarded Mo Yan, waiting for her to continue. ¡°I thought such a person was far away from me, but thinking about it, I don¡¯t know much about you. Plus, you deliberately hid a part of it¡­¡± Sheposed herself and turned to Huo Zhen. ¡°So, are you him?¡± Although Mo Yan looked determined, her heart was pounding like a drum. If Luo Tao denied that he was Huo Zhen, what should she do? She couldn¡¯t force him to admit it, but she would probably be even more disappointed? She closed her eyes in agony. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m Huo Zhen.¡± Mo Yan abruptly raised her head. She hadn¡¯t expected Huo Zhen to admit it so readily. This was an identity that he had painstakingly guarded for a long time. Huo Zhen held on to Mo Yan¡¯s arm with great strength. It was as if he wanted to crush her into pieces and fuse with her. ¡°But you have to believe me. I¡¯m not deliberately hiding it. I¡¯ve also been looking for an opportunity to tell you.¡± Huo Zhen stated clearly, staring into Mo Yan¡¯s eyes. At first, he did indeed not know of the Mo family¡¯s intention to suddenly marry off their daughter, so he had borrowed the fake identity of Luo Tao, but¡­ ¡°I only used the name, Luo Tao, to lie to you.¡± As Huo Zhen spoke, he got closer to Mo Yan. His breathnded on Mo Yan¡¯s nose, and the girl curiously blushed. She was originally angry that Huo Zhen had lied to her, but she immediately crumbled under his affectionate gaze. Not only did he say it nicely, but he was also gorgeous. On second thought, he really had done her no wrong. Mo Yan struggled in Huo Zhen¡¯s arms and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let it go this time. Next time, you must tell me everything. If you keep it from me again, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson!¡± After that, she waved her fist at Huo Zhen and gestured for a while. ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡± Huo Zhen simply agreed and held Mo Yan¡¯s wrist, smiling even more deeply. Suddenly, his face darkened. He pulled Mo Yan and walked out. ¡°We can¡¯t stay here for long. We have to leave quickly, or the consequences will be dire.¡± From the moment he had arrived in H City, he had felt that he was being targeted. ¡°Oh,¡± Mo Yan answered lightly. She followed closely behind Huo Zhen and scooted into the car. ¡°My private helicopter is parked nearby. As long as we board it, we will bepletely safe. Before that, be careful.¡± Huo Zhen instructed Mo Yan, who was sitting in the back seat, to fasten her seat belt as he gave a few simple instructions. He drove speedily. Not only did he have no intention of slowing down, he even ran a few red lights in a row. However, it was this sudden action that exposed the brown cars that had been trailing them. If they had note for him, they would have long been left far behind by Huo Zhen¡¯s speed. They had to speed, even running red lights, to follow him closely. There must be something fishy going on. Huo Zhen¡¯s eyes steadied. He sped up and drove into several small alleys in a row. He made all kinds of turns, but the cars still kept up with him. They had no intention of letting go. Huo Zhen cursed inside his head. He turned back to look at Mo Yan, whose face was pale with fear. She looked at him calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Everything will be fine.¡± Mo Yan had never seen such a scene before. She felt at ease just because of Huo Zhen¡¯s words. ¡°Yes, I know.¡± She said straightforwardly and fumbled around in the car again, as though she was searching for something to keep by her side. ¡°Bang!¡± A gunshot rang out and hit Huo Zhen¡¯s car. The car was very sturdy, so the shot did not cause any substantial damage. However, Huo Zhen¡¯s frown deepened. He dared shoot in the middle of a busy city and so brazenly wanted his life! ¡°Mo Yan,e over here. You drive; I¡¯ll deal with them!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Yan panicked. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Just follow the navigation. I¡¯ve already located it.¡± Huo Zhen slowed down and unfastened his seat belt. Chapter 259 - In Pursuit Chapter 259 - In Pursuit Mo Yan looked at Huo Zhen. Although she was a little afraid, she had a look of certainty in her eyes. At Huo Zhen¡¯s signal, she got into the driver¡¯s seat. Huo Zhen sat beside her. He took out a pistol from a small side drawer and held it in his hand. ¡°No matter what happenster, don¡¯t be afraid. Just drive. As long as we get on the helicopter, we¡¯ll be safe.¡± Mo Yan nodded. Of course, she knew what this meant. Although Mo Yan had gotten her driver¡¯s license a few years back, she had had little experience driving and was not skilled at doing so. The people behind caught up with them shortly. A total of three brown cars soon surrounded Mo Yan¡¯s car. ¡°Mr. Huo, I advise you not to put up unnecessary resistance.¡± A man in ck yelled at Huo Zhen. ¡°Bang!¡± The next moment, he was shot in the arm. Huo Zhen quickly aimed and shot, then quickly dodged back into the car, not forgetting to close the window. The movements were so quick that Mo Yan did not even see it clearly. ¡°Focus on driving.¡± Seeing that Mo Yan was still staring at him, Huo Zhen smiled helplessly. Despite all the goings-on, he could still find time to touch Mo Yan¡¯s hair and give her a doting smile. ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan replied obediently and continued driving. The car behind them kept knocking into them, driving them in another direction. They were about to fall into the river! Mo Yan hastily turned the steering wheel hard, trying to pull the car back on the right track. Before she could let out a sigh of relief, they were hit hard again. The right side of the car had a huge dent! Luckily, Huo Zhen¡¯s car was of good quality. If it had been any other car, it would have fallen apart long ago. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, just drive properly.¡± Seeing that the hand holding the steering wheel was trembling, Huo Zhen quicklyforted Mo Yan. Huo Zhen stared at the car window. When the time was right, he would fire a shot or two to repel the enemy¡¯s attacks. But even so, they were still at an absolute disadvantage. The three cars surrounded thempletely. Unless they grew wings, they would not be able to escape. Bang! There was another violent crash, and the car door was on the verge of falling off. The huge impact caused Mo Yan¡¯s head to hit the car, and it was badly bruised. ¡°Mo Yan, are you okay?¡± Huo Zhen was still calm, but his brows were tightly knitted together. Mo Yan shook her head. She appeared badly injured, but in fact, it was merely on the surface. Seeing that she was fine, Huo Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the navigation map and ordered in a low voice, ¡°Drive into this alleyter. Then we¡¯ll see when the time is right to jump out of the car. I¡¯ll find an opportunity to set the car on fire and stop those guys.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes widened. Wasn¡¯t this too risky? But there was no better option. Huo Zhen kept staring at Mo Yan until she nodded slightly at him. Only then did the corners of his lips reveal a faint smile. Mo Yan turned the steering wheel and entered a small alley. Looking through the rearview mirror, they were indeed following closely behind. Mo Yan drove into the alley. Huo Zhen opened the door of the passenger seat and pulled Mo Yan out of the car. Just as the two of them ran out, they heard the sound of voices. Huo Zhen ignored them and simply shot at the car twice! One shot blew up the fuel tank, and the other shot near the fuel tank. Sparks flew in all directions, and the car exploded with a bang! Fortunately, Huo Zhen and Mo Yan had already run a distance away, or they would have been affected by the explosion. The rest were not so fortunate. The fire quickly engulfed the car. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Huo Zhen held Mo Yan¡¯s wrist and strode forward. Mo Yan followed closely behind. Feeling moisture on her hand, Mo Yan looked towards Huo Zhen. He was injured? His arm had been shot, and it was bleeding! ¡°It¡¯s okay. I can bandage it once we¡¯re on the helicopter.¡± Huo Zhenforted her gently. The pain from his wound was far less unbearable than noticing the heartache in Mo Yan¡¯s eyes. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°Will you be okay?¡± Mo Yan held Huo Zhen¡¯s wrist tightly and was worried stiff. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t die yet.¡± Huo Zhen could still make the effort to joke with Mo Yan, but his voice was a little hollow. After all, he had been shot. How could he bepletely fine? Mo Yan bit her lip, helping to hold Huo Zhen¡¯s slumping body up, and turned into a small alley. As long as they turned into another small alley and reached the top floor, they would be able to reach the ce where the helicopter was parked. As long as they got on the helicopter, they would be saved. What was worse was that the earlier fire had not stopped everyone. A few men had actually chased after them and was cursing at them from behind! Mo Yan quickened her pace and continued forward as she supported Huo Zhen¡¯s sinking body. Chapter 260 - Out of Trouble Chapter 260 - Out of Trouble When they reached the rooftop, they saw a helicopter parked there. ¡°Huo Zhen, we¡¯re here.¡± Mo Yan shook Huo Zhen¡¯s body excitedly, but the only response she got was a dead silence. ¡°Huo Zhen¡­¡± Mo Yan panicked. She looked worriedly at Huo Zhen, who had already lost consciousness, and sped up. The footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer. The bad guys had caught up! ¡°Come here quickly!¡± Huo Yu opened the hatch of the helicopter and called for them to hurry over. Mo Yan supported Huo Zhen¡¯s body and struggled forward against the wind generated by the helicopter. She handed Huo Zhen to Huo Yu first before she boarded the helicopter. They had just sat down when the men rushed to the rooftop. They also wanted to get close to the helicopter, but Huo Yu threw a pistol to Mo Yan. ¡°I¡¯ll leave them to you. I¡¯ll fly the helicopter. Don¡¯t let them get close.¡± ¡°But, I don¡¯t know how¡­¡± ¡°We can only rely on you now.¡± Huo Yu stuffed the gun into Mo Yan¡¯s hand and nced back at the still-unconscious Huo Zhen. ¡°You don¡¯t know this nor that. I really don¡¯t know what my brother likes about you.¡± As she spoke, she was ready to take the gun back. ¡°I¡­ I can try.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s voice was soft and delicate, but her grip on the gun was firm. She looked at Huo Yu with a determined expression. Her gaze was steady. ¡°You said it yourself.¡± Huo Yu returned to the driver¡¯s seat and looked at Mo Yan again. She was rather interesting. Mo Yan¡¯s hands were trembling. This was the first time she had held a gun. She had never even seen it in real life before. ¡°Bang!¡± Mo Yan fired. Although she missed, it was enough to shock the man in front of her. They stopped and looked at each other, not daring to move forward. Mo Yan fired two more shots. Taking advantage of this action, Huo Yu took the helicopter up and left quickly. Mo Yan sank weakly to the ground, gasping for air. She was ultimately still alive. However, she did not celebrate for too long before she reacted and quickly crawled to Huo Zhen¡¯s side. His wound was still bleeding, and it did not look optimistic. ¡°The medical kit behind me; you can simply bandage it first. I have already arranged for the best doctor to receive him. As soon as we get off the helicopter, he can receive the best treatment.¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Mo Yan nodded repeatedly and quickly bandaged Huo Zhen¡¯s wound. It was probably because her actions had affected the wound that Huo Zhen let out a low howl and struggled to open his eyes. ¡°Where are we?¡± He frowned and asked with concern. ¡°We have already boarded Huo Yu¡¯s helicopter and are about to leave H City. It¡¯s great that you¡¯re alright!¡± Mo Yan could no longer hold back her tears. She hugged Huo Zhen as she sobbed. This was the only time that she could let her tears flow freely. ¡°Stop crying. It¡¯s so noisy.¡± Huo Yu, who was flying the ne, could not bear to hear any more. The good impression that she had had towards Mo Yan had disappeared once more. ¡°Don¡¯t yell at your sister-inw like that. Be more polite to her.¡± Although Huo Zhen was injured and his voice sounded weak, it still carried a firm resoluteness. ¡°You only know to bully me. If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t havee over.¡± Huo Yu sniffed aggrievedly and fiercely red at Huo Zhen. Although she was still giving her the cold shoulder, her attitude was much better than before. It could be considered that she had acknowledged Mo Yan as her sister-inw. Huo Zhen leaned closer to Mo Yan. Although he still appeared weak, he was in much better spirits. Mo Yan let him lean on her and looked at Huo Yu worriedly. She didn¡¯t know how long more it would take for them tond. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m fine now,¡± Huo Zhenforted her gently. ¡°I should apologize to you too. I should have told you about my identity a long time ago.¡± Mo Yan was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect Huo Zhen to be able to guess her innermost thoughts and know that she actually took this to heart. ¡°This way, you wouldn¡¯t have been put at risk.¡± ¡°What do you mean she won¡¯t be at risk? This time, it was clearly you who took the risk. You clearly knew that you would be pursued after entering H City, yet you still came without hesitation.¡± Huo Yu couldn¡¯t help but interrupt. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Mo Yan bit her lip, looking even more embarrassed and uneasy. She didn¡¯t know where to put her hands. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t expect to be caught by them. I thought the charity g was just Mo Lian with her bad intentions.¡± If it had just been Mo Lian, she would have been able to deal with it easily, but she didn¡¯t expect there to be an even bigger conspiracy. ¡°I don¡¯t me you, and you saved me, so we¡¯re even.¡± Huo Zhen had no intention of ming Mo Yan. He even gently patted her forehead andforted her. Chapter 261 - The Huo Familys Approval Chapter 261 - The Huo Family''s Approval Huo Zheny on thefortable bed and quietly looked at Mo Yan, who was busying herself by the bedside. After the helicopter hadnded, there was a private specialist doctor who immediately treated and bandaged him. His body was fine now. In addition, his physical condition had always been good. He only needed to rest for a few days before he would be full of vigor once more. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. There was also a skilled nurse at home. However, seeing that Mo Yan looked worried, Huo Zhen simply let her take care of his daily life activities. Mo Yan was unskillful and was additionally butterfingered due to her concern for him. When she was giving him his medicine, her feet slipped, and more than half the ss of water was poured on Huo Zhen. 1 ¡°Don¡¯t stay here. Other than causing trouble, what else do you know?¡± Before Huo Zhen could speak, Huo Yu, who was in the room, could stand it no longer. ¡°Call Auntie Wang in. She used to be a professional nurse in the hospital. Your bumbling makes it seem like you have two left feet.¡± Mo Yan did not dare to shoot back. Like a child who had erred, she lowered her head and felt extremely wronged. She did not dare to retort on her own behalf. ¡°I feel that she has taken good care of me.¡± Huo Zhen smiled slightly, his doting tone worlds apart from his previous image as the King of Hell. ¡°What¡¯s good about her? Till date, other than causing trouble, what else does she know?¡± Huo Yu huffed at Huo Zhen. Her brother had only injured his hand, so his brain should not be damaged, right? Otherwise, how could he think that Mo Yan was taking good care of him? What did she take care of? ¡°Huo Yu, you can go out. It¡¯s enough to have Mo Yan here.¡± Not only did Huo Zhen defend Mo Yan, he even gave Huo Yu the order to leave. Huo Yu widened her eyes. For a moment, she thought that she had misheard it. However, Huo Zhen actually called for the butler toe in to politely ¡°invite¡± Huo Yu out. ¡°Huo Zhen, he¡­ he is aplete b******!¡± Huo Yu felt extremely vexed at being chased out by Huo Zhen. She, the eldest daughter of the Huo family, had never been wronged in this manner! Qin Yuan stood at the door and could not help but snicker when he saw her flounce out. ¡°What are youughing at? You¡¯ll also be kicked out if you go in!¡± Huo Yu stood, arms akimbo. If she had known that Huo Zhen would be so ungrateful, she really should not have flown a helicopter in to save him. Wouldn¡¯t it be better to let him die in H City? Qin Yuan merely smiled and retorted slowly. ¡°Who said I want to go in? If I were to go in now, I¡¯d only be like a third wheel.¡± ¡°You!¡± Huo Yu was miffed, and Qin Yuanughed even more happily. One year, he had had a high fever and Huo Yu had taken care of him just like Mo Yan was taking care of Huo Zhen currently ¡ª without leaving his side. Unfortunately, Huo Yu was simply too used to having her needs catered to and did not know how to look after others. She almost burned his kitchen down while making porridge, and the food she had cooked was far from delicious, tasting even worse than spoilt rice. However, at that time, he had been very happy while he ate. Thereafter, whenever he had been depressed or listless, he would think of Huo Yu¡¯s porridge and side dishes. Now, it seemed unlikely that he would ever taste it again. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Huo Yu frowned, observing Qin Yuan. She stood on her toes and touched his forehead. ¡°What is that expression on your face? It can¡¯t be that you¡¯re as ufortable as my brother, right?¡± Qin Yuan quickly stepped back, and Huo Yu¡¯s hand stopped mid-air. There was an awkwardness that filled the air. After a long time, Qin Yuan finally found his voice. ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m very well. It seems that Huo Zhen doesn¡¯t have the energy to see me today. I¡¯lle back another day. I still have a proposal awaiting his approval.¡± Huo Yu had quickly withdrawn her hand, swallowed guiltily, and looked away. ¡°Yes, you should go back. My brother doesn¡¯t have the energy to see you. In future, don¡¯te here so often anymore, acting as though we¡¯re so familiar with each other.¡± With that, not only did she lose all her imposing manner, she even almost bit her tongue a few times. After watching Qin Yuan leave, Huo Yu let out a long sigh of relief. She could not stay in the room any longer. She tiptoed to the door, half of her body pressed against it, listening attentively for any movements inside. Huo Zhen saw that Mo Yan was still busy, so he reached out and pulled her closer. Mo Yan did not anticipate Huo Zhen¡¯s action. Her body was propelled forward. By the time she could react, more than half of her body was already pressed against Huo Zhen¡¯s body. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and used her hands to support herself. Otherwise, Huo Zhen would be injured once more. The two of them were too close to each other. She could even hear the sound of her own heart beating. The atmosphere was extremely ambiguous. She could only see Huo Zhen¡¯s throat trembling slightly, and his low and deep voice burned her body, making her feel numb and tingling. Chapter 262 - Lingering Warmth Chapter 262 - Lingering Warmth ¡°You¡¯re pressing on me,¡± Huo Zhen kindly reminded her as a sly smile spread across his face. Mo Yan was shocked and about to stand up in a panic. Unfortunately, Huo Zhen was one step ahead and used his uninjured hand to grab Mo Yan¡¯s wrist. Seeing that Mo Yan was still struggling, he added in a serious tone, ¡°You¡¯d better listen to me, or else you¡¯ll pull on my wound and I don¡¯t know when it will heal.¡± At this, Mo Yan ceased to struggle. Her face turned even redder, and she didn¡¯t know how to face Huo Zhen. She lowered her head and couldn¡¯t believe that her voice was so soft. ¡°Huo Zhen, what on earth do you want to do? You¡¯re still injured; you can¡¯t, right?¡± ¡°You said I can¡¯t?¡± Huo Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly. Had she just been provoking him? ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that. I¡­ I meant¡­ I meant it¡¯s not convenient.¡± Knowing that Huo Zhen¡¯s thoughts were elsewhere, Mo Yan exined in rm. Unfortunately, her painstaking exnation still sounded strange to Huo Zhen¡­ It was even ambiguous. Sure enough, Huo Zhen had misunderstood Mo Yan¡¯s meaning. He threw a meaningful smile at Mo Yan. ¡°Is that so? It¡¯s not inconvenient. I can eat you up with one hand.¡± Mo Yan was so stunned that she immediately escaped from Huo Zhen¡¯s arms. She patted her chest, which was still heaving violently. Although they had been husband and wife for so long, they had not really taken thest step. Moreover, wasn¡¯t his earlier flirting a little too direct? ¡°Can¡¯t you be more serious? Aren¡¯t you afraid that others will see what happened just now? Since you¡¯re Master Huo, you should have many visitors when you¡¯re injured, right?¡± Thinking that he was the unattainable Huo Zhen, Mo Yan sighed faintly. If he had just been Luo Tao, Mo Yan was confident that through her own efforts, she could be someone as outstanding as him and make others sincerely feel that they were a good match. However, when she thought about him being favored by the heavens, the difference between them was like that between heaven and earth. No matter how hard she tried, others would think that she had struck lottery by getting hold of Huo Zhen. ¡°No one wille to visit me,¡± Huo Zhen said lightly. He could also feel that Mo Yan was distant from him. He patted the side of his bed and motioned for Mo Yan to sit down, ¡°The people who want to assassinate me are definitely rted to the Huo family. I don¡¯t need anyone to visit me either. Even if I¡¯m injured, no one else will know about it.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t they your family?¡± Mo Yan was so aghast that her eyes widened. Huo Zhen¡¯s expression was solemn and did not carry the slightest hint that he was joking. ¡°Isn¡¯t Mo Lian also your rtive? When she does things, does she have any regard for your rtionship?¡± Huo Zhen did not directly answer Mo Yan. He stood and extended his hand to shake hers. ¡°It¡¯s funny to say that family ties can¡¯t bepared to thin banknotes. For money, even close rtives can turn against each other.¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes dimmed. She could understand Huo Zhen. It was just like how she used to treat Mo Dong and Mo Lian as family, giving her all for their sake. She naively thought that sincerity would beget sincerity. She did not expect that, not only would they not feel touched at all, they even schemed against her. Time and time again, they put her in danger or made use of her. ¡°So now, in the entire Huo family, only that girl, Huo Yu, will be treated well by me.¡± Huo Zhen did not want Mo Yan to get involved in the feud enveloping the Huo family. He only let her know who was friend and who was foe. ¡°Oh.¡± Mo Yan responded lightly. She thought of the arrogant and domineering Huo Yu and was a little worried. ¡°I quite like that girl, Huo Yu. She¡¯s willful and entric, and has a straightforward personality. However, she doesn¡¯t seem to like me very much. Should I do something?¡± ¡°So, I can understand that you really want to gain the approval of my family?¡± Huo Zhen smiled lightly and raised his hand to gently scratch Mo Yan¡¯s nose. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Mo Yan was rmed. Although she did mean it, the wordsing out of Huo Zhen¡¯s mouth were a little strange and ufortable. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant!¡± She stood up in a panic and was pulled back by Huo Zhen. He suggestively brought his lips close to Mo Yan¡¯s ear and moved his throat slightly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to do anything. This is good enough.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Mo Yan was still a little hesitant. Huo Zhen cleared his throat and added. ¡°That girl, Huo Yu, has always distinguished clearly between love and hate. Her earlier attitude showed that she has epted you. If not, she would have torn you apart on the spot.¡± Although he wanted tofort Mo Yan, Huo Zhen knew his sister very well. Based on her attitude just now, she had already epted Mo Yan, but she did not know how to coexist peacefully. Chapter 263 - The Villain Had Gained the Upper Hand Chapter 263 - The Viin Had Gained the Upper Hand Mo Yan obediently leaned against Huo Zhen¡¯s side. Suddenly, her expression changed and she stood up. ¡°Oh no, I forgot about the contract.¡± She still had a contract in her hands that affected the future of thepany. It should already have been signed the day after the charity g. Considering this, it had already been dyed for a few days. Mo Yan was very upset. She remembered it now, but unfortunately, it was already toote. ¡°I have to go back. Even if I have to apologize, I have to get the contract back.¡± Mo Yan secretly made up her mind and looked at Huo Zhen with uncertainty. ¡°But you are still injured. I want to stay and take care of you as well.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay, you can go back.¡± Huo Zhen stroked Mo Yan¡¯s head lovingly. He liked Mo Yan¡¯s persistence. If it had been any other woman, with Huo Zhen as a backer, they would not have wanted to strive any further. They would not be like Mo Yan, with her mind still on the millions of contracts. Compared to his billions of assets, it was really insignificant. Mo Yan apanied Huo Zhen for the night and bought tickets for a flight back the next morning. She had just entered thepany when she felt that there was something amiss. Li Guoguo stepped out in bright red stilettos. She swayed gracefully and walked past Mo Yan with extreme arrogance. She used to pretend that she had a good rtionship with Mo Yan, but now she couldn¡¯t even be bothered to pretend? Mo Yan directly walked past her into the director¡¯s office. ¡°Director, I¡¯m sorry, I was dyed by something for a few days. But don¡¯t worry, there won¡¯t be any problems with the contract. I can convince the other party.¡± Mo Yan exined her purpose ofing as she walked in. ¡°I¡¯ve been working on this contract for a few months, and the other party¡¯spany has followed the progress for a few months. They take this very seriously, so they definitely won¡¯t give it up just like that¡­¡± It was only after Mo Yan finished speaking that she noticed the original director was packing up his personal things. He picked up a notebook and the like from the table and ced them into a cardboard box. ¡°This is¡­¡± Mo Yan looked at him in confusion. ¡°Mo Yan, I believe in your ability, but it¡¯s a pity that I¡¯ve already left thepany.¡± The director sighed and lowered his head to continue packing up his things. ¡°How could it be¡­¡± Mo Yan stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to say for a moment. They had previously discussed the future development together¡­ ¡°How could it not be? This position is mine now.¡± Li Guoguo leaned against the door and lightly clicked her tongue. ¡°You lost the contract, causing thepany to lose millions for no reason. Fortunately, I found the Mo family and signed a contract with a higher profit, making up for thepany¡¯s loss.¡± Upon saying that, she walked in even more triumphantly and specially stuffed a business card into Mo Yan¡¯s hands. ¡°That¡¯s what happened. Mo Mo, I have to go.¡± The director sighed, picked up his things, and left in defeat. ¡°Director¡­¡± Mo Yan looked at his back view as he left, feeling deeply ill at ease. ¡°What are you looking at? I¡¯m the director now.¡± Li Guoguo rolled her eyes at Mo Yan, then sat down on the chair with her legs crossed, her nose high in the air. ¡°When did you hook up with the Mo family?¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you for taking me to the charity g.¡± Li Guoguo raised her eyebrows slightly. That day, thanks to Mo Yan, not only had she beente, but she had also been in a sorry state. She didn¡¯t stand out among the female guests. Mo Lian did not like her to begin with. She evenined that just anyone coulde to the dinner party, even those who couldn¡¯t look after themselves. It was only when she heard that she and Mo Yan were from the samepany that her attitude changed drastically. Not only did she greet her with a smile, she even extended an olive branch and gave Li Guoguo a great contract. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to be a daughter of the Mo family. However, both of you are daughters. Mo Lian is a princess of high status, but you are not even worthy of carrying her shoes.¡± Mo Yan bit her lip and looked at Li Guoguo surprisingly quietly. She was unexpectedly calm and did not get angry. ¡°You will work with me from now on. By the way, I still have to go to the Mo family to discuss the details of the contract in the afternoon. You wille with me,¡± Li Guoguomanded. Discussions regarding the contract were almostplete, but if there was a chance to humiliate Mo Yan, Mo Lian would definitely use it. ¡°You go by yourself. I have other things to do.¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± Seeing that Mo Yan had refused, Li Guoguo quickly added. ¡°I¡¯m your boss now. If I tell you to go, you have to go.¡± Although it was Li Guoguo¡¯s first day as a director, she was already quite skilled at bullying others. ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Yan was very helpless, but what will be, will be. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you. I hope you won¡¯t regret it.¡± Chapter 264 - You Need to Please Me Chapter 264 - You Need to Please Me Knowing that Mo Yan wasing over, Mo Lian had been preparing for a long time to humiliate her. Putting everything else aside, just the clothes on her body were already worth arge sum. They were from a certain big brand and she was the first to wear them in the country. On the other hand, Mo Yan was very ordinary. Her outfit was something you could get at any shopping mall, costing around 300 to 500 yuan. However, she was attractive and had a good figure. She looked wonderful in everything she wore. ¡°My good sister, you left without saying goodbye at the charity g. I thought something bad had happened to you,¡± Mo Lian said sarcastically as soon as they met. It was a pity as she had specially prepared a show for Mo Yan. ¡°I did encounter some trouble, but everything has been taken care of,¡± Mo Yan said lightly. If she had not confirmed that those guys were there for Huo Zhen, she would most likely have suspected Mo Lian. However, if it were really Mo Lian, it wouldn¡¯t be as simple as just extorting money. ¡°You should have already read the contract, right? Let¡¯s not talk about the rest, just the profits and output of the contract itself should be very satisfactory, right? If it was someone else, it would be impossible to sign such a contract.¡± ¡°Of course, Miss Mo Lian, you¡¯re really beautiful inside and out,¡± Li Guoguo immediately took the opportunity to praise her. Unfortunately, Mo Lian rolled her eyes at her and did not appreciate her gesture. ¡°I¡¯ve investigated yourpany and you really need this contract. So, do you know what you should do?¡± 1 Mo Lian curled her lips slightly. Her meaning could not be more obvious. Mo Yan looked at Mo Lian expressionlessly and could not be bothered to respond. ¡°Please don¡¯t hold back and please me. Otherwise, I won¡¯t sign the contract if I don¡¯t want to.¡± Mo Lian red at Mo Yan. If she didn¡¯t say anything, she would be the one to make things clear. ¡°Miss Mo Lian, didn¡¯t we already agree?¡± Li Guoguo panicked. She needed the contract more than anyone else. ¡°Shut up, you don¡¯t get to speak here!¡± Mo Lian spewed. Li Guoguo was so scared that her face turned pale. She immediately shifted her target to Mo Yan. ¡°Mo Yan, didn¡¯t you hear what she said just now? Shouldn¡¯t you have something to say?¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°If we can¡¯t sign the contract, then we¡¯re both finished.¡± Li Guoguo reminded Mo Yan, gritting her teeth. 1 Mo Yan sighed and forced a smile. ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to please people. What do you think we should do?¡± She blinked and said very obediently. ¡°Besides, this is the contract you signed. If it goes bad, then it goes bad. I also know other big clients and can discuss new contracts with them.¡± With prior experience of signing contracts, Mo Yan was confident that she could get another. Moreover, through the charity g, she had also expanded herwork. ¡°Ha, it¡¯s really easy to say. It seems that I won¡¯t need to sign this contract with you guys.¡± Mo Lian was extremely ufortable, especially disliking Mo Yan¡¯s confidence. ¡°Mo Yan, quickly apologize to Miss Mo Lian.¡± Li Guoguo was beyond anxious. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong, why should I apologize?¡± Mo Yan blinked and said righteously. ¡°Mo Yan, stop talking.¡± Li Guoguo wished she could sew Mo Yan¡¯s mouth shut. She also med herself for bringing Mo Yan there. ¡°Why can¡¯t she speak? I also think this contract is very ordinary. It would be very good if we don¡¯t sign it.¡± A man in his early thirties walked in. Mo Yan felt that the man looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. Unfortunately, she couldn¡¯t remember where at the moment. ¡°Who are you? This is my office. What right do you have toe in?¡± Mo Lian looked at the man in anger. Where did hee from, and why was he defending Mo Yan? ¡°This is no longer your office.¡± The man took out a contract and handed it to Mo Lian. ¡°My CEO has already bought over Mo Real Estate. From now on, this will be my office. You can leave now.¡± Mo Lian looked at the document in disbelief. She had never heard of the Mo family¡¯s intention to be acquired, but the signature and official seal on it was proof enough. ¡°Don¡¯t show me something like this to deceive me. I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Mo Lian refused to ept it, ¡°Fabricating a contract is illegal.¡± The man only smiled, ¡°If Miss Mo doesn¡¯t believe it, you can call up your father and ask if the contract is real or fake.¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ll call him right away,¡± Mo Lian said hatefully, but she could not make up her mind. The man¡¯s tone was too firm, and Mo Lian felt uncertain. She quickly took out her phone and dialed Mo Dong¡¯s number. ¡°Dad, a man came into my office and said that thepany has been acquired. What¡¯s going on?¡± On the other end of the phone, Mo Dong was silent for a while. Chapter 265 - The Plaything He Had Purchased Chapter 265 - The ything He Had Purchased Mo Lian hung up the phone and sat on the chair in a daze. Her expression was extremely ugly. Li Guoguo stood rooted to the spot awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment. However, the man broke the silence and went straight to the point. He walked to Mo Lian and flipped to thest page of the document. ¡°Miss Mo, you¡¯ve already made the call. So regarding the authenticity of this document, you won¡¯t question it again, right?¡± Mo Lian bit her lips and gnashed her teeth as she nced at the man. She was extremely displeased and dissatisfied. A moment ago, she had still been questioning why Mo Dong had so easily sold Mo Real Estate without even informing her. The next moment, Mo Dong had said that he had had no reason to reject the offer. Firstly, the price the other party had offered was very attractive. Secondly, the other party was very powerful and clearly stated that if he did not agree to the acquisition, they would use all kinds of strategies, and would even not hesitate tounch an economic war against Mo Real Estate. Although Mo Real Estate could be considered a reputablepany,pared to the other party, it was insignificant. Mo Dong understood the situation and could only give up thepany. ¡°Even if the document is real, you don¡¯t have to coborate with Mo Yan, right? I¡¯ve seen her contract. The conditions are all very ordinary. I know many of my peers. They can offer more favorable conditions.¡± Mo Lian¡¯s brain was working very quickly, it didn¡¯t matter if Mo Real Estate was acquired, as long as it didn¡¯t leave Mo Yan triumphant. ¡°Our boss said that this contract must be signed by Miss Mo Yan.¡± The man walked back to Mo Yan¡¯s side and bowed respectfully to her. ¡°In addition to this contract, the boss also has the intention to let you be the chairperson of Mo Real Estate and take full control of it. Don¡¯t feel pressured. Just treat it as purchasing a ything.¡± ¡°What did you say!¡± Mo Lian was not the only one who was so bbergasted that her jaw dropped. Even Mo Yan had not expected this. She reacted and pulled the man aside slightly. ¡°Are you working for Huo Zhen?¡± She could not be med for guessing. It was really too big of a deal. To be able to treat the huge Mo Real Estate as a ything, she racked her brains and could only think of Huo Zhen. He did not stop even while recuperating. ¡°Even if it was really his idea, I can¡¯t afford it.¡± Mo Yan had on a sad expression. That was arge company with a market value of tens of millions. She did not have any management experience. Was Huo Zhen not afraid that his millions would go down the drain? ¡°Madam, you have to go back and tell the boss yourself.¡± The man pretended to be troubled and lowered his voice, even changing his term of address. ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll do that.¡± Mo Yan mumbled. Huo Zhen was indeed too reckless. She only did not correct the man¡¯s way of addressing her as ¡°Madam¡±. ¡°Your boss is Luo Tao? How can someone who looks so poor afford to buy thepany? Don¡¯t be deceived.¡± Although Mo Lian¡¯s heart was pounding, she was stubborn. She knew Mo Yan¡¯swork very well. Besides Luo Tao, who had some ability, the rest were all poor people like her. If Mo Yan did have money, she would have spent it on her mother and younger brother. Why would she watch them suffer, working several jobs to raise money for the medical expenses? ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my boss¡¯s surname is Huo.¡± The man pulled Mo Lian up from the chair. ¡°Now Mo Real Estate belongs to Miss Mo Yan. It¡¯s impolite for you to sit here any longer. Stand up quickly.¡± ¡°Huo Zhen?¡± Mo Lian subconsciously said this name, but quickly shook her head and said, ¡°With that poor appearance of hers, how could she be able to climb up thedder to reach someone of Huo Zhen¡¯s status? No, this is not true.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s true or not has nothing to do with you. You can leave now.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Although the man¡¯s words were polite, he left no room for negotiation and politely invited Mo Lian to leave. Mo Lian was filled with rage, but she had nowhere to vent it. She could only leave dejectedly. Before she left, she kicked the door to vent her anger. Unfortunately, the door was made of titanium steel ¡ª the kick caused Mo Lian to grimace in pain. Mo Yan tidied up the slightly messy table and looked at Li Guoguo, who was still standing in the same spot. ¡°It¡¯s going to be lunch time soon. Are you not leaving because you want me to treat you to lunch?¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s body stiffened. Things had progressed too suddenly and she hadn¡¯t had time to react. She hurriedly sent an awkward and ttering smile to Mo Yan. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, there must have been some misunderstanding between us earlier. Let me be the host and treat you to lunch. Also, can I take this contract back with me?¡± She understood what the man meant. The new contract was better than the original one given to Mo Real Estate. Theirpany would definitely be very satisfied with it. Moreover, Mo Real Estate was now Mo Yan¡¯s. As long as Mo Yan was satisfied, any contract could be signed. Chapter 266 - This Is My Contract Chapter 266 - This Is My Contract ¡°That¡¯s not necessary. I¡¯ll lose my appetite if I look at you.¡± Mo Yan snorted. It had to be said that Li Guoguo knew how to judge the situation. Previously, she had tried to curry favor with Mo Lian, almost lowering herself to the ground. Now that Mo Lian had lost her status, her attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn, and she changed her target to herself. Unfortunately, she hadn¡¯t fallen for it. Mo Yan stood up and looked at Li Guoguo¡¯s puzzled expression. ¡°Why are you still standing here? Didn¡¯t I make it clear enough?¡± If she hadn¡¯t understood the meaning behind it, Mo Yan wouldn¡¯t have minded repeating it. Mo Yan had already stated it clearly, but Li Guoguo had quickly gathered her wits. She still humbled herself, looking at Mo Yan with a bright smile. ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want to have a meal. I¡¯ll help you bring the contract back.¡± As she said this, her fingernded on the contract. While Mo Yan¡¯s attention was directed elsewhere, she quickly wanted to take the opportunity to pick up the document. Too bad for her, Mo Yan was a step ahead and kept her hand on the contract. She smiled, ¡°I won¡¯t trouble you. I¡¯ll bring the contract back to thepany myself.¡± Li Guoguo¡¯s eyes widened. It had been a long time since she had been jealous. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, you¡­¡± ¡°This is my contract. Naturally, I should be the one to take it back to thepany. If you bring it back, is it considered mine or yours?¡± Mo Yan knew Li Guoguo only too well. At this time, she was still staring at the contract. It was obvious that she was returning to thepany to give a report. Although Huo Zhen didn¡¯t ask for her opinion before he got the contract, Mo Yan didn¡¯t want to let Li Guoguo off so easily. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Seeing that Mo Yan had guessed her n, Li Guoguo felt a little ufortable and smiled even more fawningly. ¡°Sister Mo Yan, you are close to President Huo. What kind of contract do you want that you can¡¯t get? We are colleagues, so you can go easy on me.¡± Mo Yan forced a smile. Li Guoguo was really shameless. ¡°You can go. I won¡¯t give you the contract. I¡¯ll take it back to thepany myself,¡± Mo Yan said as she slowly put the contract away. ¡°This is my contract, and that is yours. Please take your own contract back. Oh, right, how could I forget? Mo Real Estate¡¯s signature isn¡¯t on it.¡± ¡°You!¡± Li Guoguo knew that she wouldn¡¯t be able to gain any advantage from Mo Yan, so her embarrassment turned to anger and she cursed at Mo Yan, ¡°Mo Yan, why are you so arrogant? Do you think that Huo Zhen gave you Mo Real Estate because he values you? Who is Huo Zhen? There are countless women that he toys with every day. In a few days, he will forget all about you. Let¡¯s see how long you can be pleased with yourself.¡± Li Guoguo could hardly get her words out in a fit of anger. ¡°Besides, you still have Luo Tao. I will tell him right now that you hooked up with Huo Zhe. I want to see how you will deal with it? I will also let everyone in thepany know about it. When the timees, even if you get the contract back, you won¡¯t be able to stay in thepany anymore!¡± Without the contract, she could only pack up and leave. However, even if she left, she wanted to drag Mo Yan down with her. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡± Mo Yan smiled lightly, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, ¡°You can say whatever you want about me. But for now, please leave. If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll call the security.¡± Mo Yan was clear about what kind of person she was. She didn¡¯t need Li Guoguo to make usations. Moreover, Huo Zhen and Luo Tao were the same person. No matter how capable he was, he couldn¡¯t possibly be jealous of himself. ¡°Mo Yan, just you wait.¡± Li Guoguo stomped her feet, irate. Seeing that Mo Yan was about to call the security guards, she reluctantly left. Mo Yan watched her leave with a huge smile on her face. Then, she dialed Huo Zhen¡¯s number. Huo Zhen looked at the caller ID and picked it up leisurely. ¡°Yan Yan, you should have received the gift I got for you, right?¡± He looked at the time. Mo Yan should have arrived at Mo Real Estate by now. He did not know if she was satisfied with his massive gift. Huo Zhen¡¯s casual and teasing tone tickled Mo Yan. Initially, she had still been ming him, but she could only feel deeply helpless. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you discuss it with me beforehand?¡± ¡°If I had discussed it with you beforehand, wouldn¡¯t it not be a surprise? By the way, don¡¯t you like it? I gave you apany,¡± Huo Zhen saidzily. Anyway, it was simply a gift for Mo Yan. If she liked it, then she would ept it. If she didn¡¯t, she could throw it away. ¡°But why would I want Mo Real Estate?¡± Mo Yan was in a dilemma. Chapter 267 - Ill Look for You Chapter 267 - I''ll Look for You ¡°Do whatever you want to do,¡± Huo Zhen said breezily. Firstly, he believed in Mo Yan¡¯s ability. Secondly, with Huo Corporation as a strong supporter, it would be much easier for Mo Yan to do anything. Moreover, this was originally Mo Yan¡¯spany, so it could be considereding full circle. ¡°You make it sound so simple.¡± Mo Yan sighed deeply. In the past, she had only been a team leader in thepany, so she had had her hands full and had been in a constant state of anxiety. Now, she actually had to manage an entire listedpany. There were many things she had no knowledge of, and just thinking about it gave her a headache. ¡°I heard that Mo Lian just left with her tail between her legs. Also, I called Mo Dong and told him that I would hand over the management of thepany to Mo Yan. He was so infuriated that he almost cursed over the phone. Yan Yan, aren¡¯t you happy?¡± That phone call was so remarkable, if Mo Yan needed to reminisce, Huo Zhen wouldn¡¯t have minded sharing the recording with her. Mo Yan thought about it and smiled knowingly. ¡°That¡¯s true. You don¡¯t even know how ugly Mo Lian¡¯s expression was when she left earlier. I should have taken a picture so that I can take a look at it when I¡¯m unhappy in the future.¡± Then, she changed the topic. ¡°But, Huo Zhen, it¡¯s better you discuss with me before you do anything.¡± She did not mean to me Huo Zhen, but was simply giving a slight suggestion. ¡°I got it. I¡¯ll definitely discuss it with you the next time.¡± Huo Zhen¡¯s tone was also slightly rxed, and his words were filled with a hint of indulgence. If it had been anyone else, they would be besides themselves with joy right now, unlike Mo Yan who had already started to me him for spending money recklessly. ¡°I¡¯ve already bought the ticket for the next flight and will be back soon. I¡¯m letting you know now so that you can make preparations in advance.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Yan scratched her head. ¡°Your injury hasn¡¯t fully recovered yet and you should rest well. What are youing back for? If there is anything, can¡¯t you hand it over to your men?¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. In fact, Huo Zhen¡¯s injury was not serious. It was different from the previous few times, when he had almost met his maker. This time, it was only a superficial injury. However, Mo Yan¡¯s concern was still beneficial to him, ¡°My injury has already recovered. I have other ns when I return. Let¡¯s have dinner together tonight.¡± ¡°Oh. Okay.¡± Mo Yan nodded. She knew that once Huo Zhen had decided on something, she could not dissuade him. Moreover, when she had left, Huo Zhen¡¯s injury had already mostly recovered. He should be fine. She brought the contract back to thepany. When CEO Song saw the contract, her eyes lit up and she effusively praised Mo Yan. ¡°Yan Yan, if it wasn¡¯t for the official seal on the contract, I would have suspected that it was fake. The other party is the Huo Corporation. We are the firstpany to take advantage of them.¡± Mo Yan smiled awkwardly. Li Guoguo probably felt too embarrassed to stay in thepany without the contract. Naturally, she didn¡¯t have the chance to properly publicize the matter for her. ¡°I¡¯m serious. Look at the contract. Not only does the Huo Corporation contribute money and effort, but they also have to bear the risk of losses. But here, not only do we not need to invest, but we can also earn most of the money. How is this a contract? It¡¯s clearly a charity. Such a contract is is like a gift from above. I never thought that such a blessing would fall into myp.¡± Mo Yan could only hurriedly close the contract. She forced a smile and said, ¡°CEO Song, put the contract away quickly. If the Huo Corporation regrets it, make it so they won¡¯t be able to find the contract.¡± ¡°You sure know how to joke. The Huo Corporation has already signed and sealed the contract. How could they go back on their word? However, you really are thepany¡¯s lucky charm. Whether it¡¯s a raise or something else, we definitely will not do away with it.¡± CEO Song patted Mo Yan¡¯s shoulder, telling her to continue working hard. Mo Yan smiled in a lovely manner. ¡°By the way, Yan Yan, while you were away, Su Hai¡¯s secretary came to us and requested that you make a trip there. It should be that our previous contract can be pushed forward. You¡¯re really amazing. Not only do you know Huo Zhen, but you also have some connections with Su Hai. Why don¡¯t you work hard and try to secure that contract as well?¡± ¡°Su Hai?¡± Mo Yan frowned. Too many things had happened recently, and she had really forgotten that there was such a character. Although Su Hai didn¡¯t appear to be a serious person, he was actually very shrewd. It was easier said than done to take advantage of him. ¡°I¡¯ve only met Su Hai once, so there¡¯s no rtionship whatsoever between us. But regarding the contract, I¡¯ll do my best.¡± After solemnly making a promise, Mo Yan packed up her things and went to the Su Corporation. Like the Huo Corporation, the Su Corporation was a prominent family business. They mainly dabbled in real estate and finance, and were the leaders in rted industries. Chapter 268 - Mrs. Huo Chapter 268 - Mrs. Huo Mo Yan came to the front desk of the Su Corporation. Just as she was about to exin why she was there, she saw Su Hai teasing the young girl at the front desk. He was telling a cold joke from thest century, and he even wanted the young girl to cooperate with him. The rumors were true that he really had a thing for beautiful women. Mo Yan coughed lightly. Su Hai turned and his eyes lit up upon seeing Mo Yan. He looked like a child with a new toy as he actively approached her, saying, ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the beauty from the charity g? What¡¯s your name again?¡± Mo Yan only smiled. Luckily, Su Hai still remembered her. ¡°My name is Mo Yan. I¡¯m here today to negotiate a contract with you. You said before that you didn¡¯t want to discuss work at the g. Now that we¡¯re in the office and it¡¯s working hours, it should be convenient, right?¡± ¡°Come on up with me.¡± Su Hai was a little unhappy. He reluctantly shifted his body and looked at the youngdy at the front desk. ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll tell you a joke when I¡¯m done.¡± The youngdy at the front desk smiled bitterly, d that Su Hai had finally been called away. Su Hai returned to his office and sat down on the chair. He immediately put away his ck appearance and looked at Mo Yan from top to bottom. ¡°Miss Mo, how should I address you? Is it the chairman of Mo Real Estate? Or is it Mrs. Huo?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes widened and she froze on the spot. He knew? Just a moment ago, he looked as if he couldn¡¯t even remember her name, but when he turned around, not only did he know that she was from the Mo family, he even knew about her rtionship with Huo Zhen. One had to know that Huo Zhen used Luo Tao¡¯s alias in the past, and almost no one knew his real appearance. ¡°Little beauty, don¡¯t be afraid. I have business dealings with Huo Zhen, and there are ways of finding out about things that I want to know.¡± Su Hai smiled evilly, his eyes still sweeping over Mo Yan. ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect that Huo Zhen, who has never been close to women, likes beautiful women, just as I do.¡± Mo Yan did not feel d to be praised by Su Hai in this manner. Instead, she felt ufortable. She squeezed out an unnatural smile, ¡°It¡¯s really not convenient to tell you more about Huo Zhen and me. Let¡¯s talk about coborating. This is the contract that ourpany drew up previously. You can give a general direction and we can discuss some details when the timees.¡± Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org. As Mo Yan spoke, she handed the contract to Su Hai with both hands. Su Hai took the contract andzily flipped through two pages. His gaze lingered on Mo Yan for a few seconds. During the charity g, he was very interested in Mo Yan. Not only was he willing to throw money at her, but he was even willing to use his own connections to search for her after she had disappeared without reason. He had also received the letter from the kidnappers. At that time, he intended to pay up to make Mo Yan feel grateful towards him¡­ However, all of this ended when he found out about the rtionship between Mo Yan and Huo Zhen. Who was Huo Zhen? He had money and means. Everyone was looking forward to working with him; no one wanted to provoke such a powerful enemy. Although he could not bear to part with Mo Yan, he was still very clear about how to handle her. She was just a woman. Without Mo Yan, he could still find another one. There was no need to offend Huo Zhen over this matter. Su Hai looked through the details of the contract seriously while Mo Yan stood quietly at the side. This was the contract that she had been following up on all this while, and it was also something that she had always wanted to do. ¡°Overall, I don¡¯t have any problems. However, you need to change these two details slightly, or you can go back and reconsider it.¡± After Su Hai finished reading, he handed the contract to Mo Yan, ¡°Does Huo Zhen¡¯s woman have to work so hard? Is he not willing to give you money for spending?¡± Mo Yan was about to retort that Huo Zhen had bought apany for her. However, she had never been a mboyant person. Moreover, this was not something worth promoting. ¡°I still want to prove myself. I don¡¯t want to rely on him for everything.¡± Mo Yan looked at Su Hai solemnly. She really thought so. ¡°You¡¯re really interesting.¡± It had to be said that Mo Yan was different from the women that Su Hai usually interacted with. She was more independent and had her own ideas. ¡°Let¡¯s have a casual dinner tonight.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I have something on tonight.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s just a simple meal. There¡¯s no other meaning. You¡¯re Huo Zhen¡¯s woman. I have no need to offend him because of you.¡± Su Hai thought that Mo Yan didn¡¯t want to have a meal with him because she was concerned about what Huo Zhen thought about it. ¡°That¡¯s not it,¡± Mo Yan smiled. ¡°Huo Zhen is returning tonight and asked me out for dinner.¡± Chapter 269 - Another Gift Chapter 269 - Another Gift Mo Yan exined with a smile, her face beaming with happiness. Although she hadined about Huo Zhen running around despite his injuries, she couldn¡¯t help but feel delighted when she thought about meeting him that night. Su Hai had originally thought that Mo Yan was just making excuses, but when he saw her innocent and happy face, he couldn¡¯t help but believe her. He felt as though he was being forced to watch their love story y out, and even felt a little envious of Huo Zhen. When Mo Yan left the Su Corporation, it was already a littlete. She changed into a ssy outfit, put on some light makeup, and went to the restaurant that Huo Zhen had arranged to meet her at. This was a very high-ss restaurant. Mo Yan felt strange. After all, every time she had met Huo Zhen, he would choose an ordinary restaurant. Mo Yan silently thought to herself that she still preferred an ordinary restaurant. Only then would it be more lively. When she entered the private room, Huo Zhen was already waiting for her inside. When Mo Yan saw Huo Zhen, she was even happier. She strode to Huo Zhen¡¯s side and sat down. ¡°Are you really okay? If you¡¯re not feeling well, you must tell me. Don¡¯t force yourself.¡± ¡°Got it,¡± Huo Zhen drawled. He lovingly scratched Mo Yan¡¯s nose with his hand. ¡°You, don¡¯t worry so much. I¡¯m not a child anymore.¡± ¡°Oh right, did you like the present I gave you?¡± Huo Zhen stroked the back of Mo Yan¡¯s hand, his smile growing wider. ¡°I like it very much, but I¡¯m still afraid that I won¡¯t be able to do well.¡± Mo Yan tugged at her hair. She had pondered about it for a long time on the way there, but she really couldn¡¯t think of how to run a listedpany. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I believe in you, and I will help you.¡± Huo Zhen changed the topic and got Mo Yan to sit beside him. ¡°I asked you here today because I have another gift for you.¡± ¡°Another gift?¡± Mo Yan¡¯s eyes widened in shock. What special asion was it that day? Why was Huo Zhen giving her gifts one after another? He had already gifted her apany which she couldn¡¯t afford. ¡°Let them in.¡± Huo Zhen moved closer to Mo Yan. ¡°Believe me, you¡¯ll like this gift as well.¡± Mo Yan did not expect Huo Zhen to invite Mo Lian and Mo Dong. Mo Dong¡¯s face was full of smiles. It was obvious that he had already been educated by Huo Zhen in advance. As for Mo Lian, her reluctance was disyed on her face; it was as though she wanted to swallow Mo Yan alive. ¡°Huo Zhen, why are they here?¡± Mo Yan increasingly did not know what Huo Zhen was up to. Moreover, what kind of gifts were Mo Dong and Mo Lian? Gifts should make her feel happy, not disgusted. Mo Dong smiled apologetically. He walked over and wanted to sit, but Huo Zhen red at him. He immediately restrained himself and smiled. ¡°Dad, why are we here? And why are you so good to Luo Tao? Isn¡¯t he just a trantor? Does he really think he¡¯s a big shot?¡± Mo Lian was irate. She had originally thought that they were here to have a big meal, but she didn¡¯t expect to see Mo Yan and Luo Tao. Moreover, her father was nodding and bowing to them respectfully. How could she not be embarrassed? N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°Shut up.¡± Mo Dong glowered at Mo Lian. ¡°What Luo Tao? He is Huo Zhen, the young master of the Huo Corporation. He bought ourpany.¡± ¡°He is Huo Zhen?¡± Mo Lian widened her eyes. She could not believe her ears. Wasn¡¯t Luo Tao a pauper? Mo Yan had cheapened herself to marry Luo Tao. How did he suddenly be Huo Zhen? ¡°Dad, did you make a mistake?¡± Mo Lian pulled Mo Dong¡¯s sleeve, and Mo Dong simply pushed her. Seeing his own daughter fall to the ground, Mo Dong did not think of helping her up. Instead, he squeezed out a smile and looked at Huo Zhen, ¡°CEO Huo, my daughter is not sensible. She is blind to the glory before her. Please don¡¯t hold it against her.¡± Huo Zhen only snorted lightly and picked out food for Mo Yan as if there was no one else around. Mo Yan nced at Huo Zhen. Why did he ask Mo Lian and Mo Dong there? Mo Dong looked at Mo Yan ingratiatingly again, wanting to speak with her in private. ¡°Mr. Mo, there¡¯s no need. If you have something to say, just say it here. Huo Zhen and I are already husband and wife. There are no secrets between us. Huo Zhen can know everything you have to say to me.¡± Mo Dong looked as though he was about to cry. He did not know what to say. ¡°Yan Yan, please ask Mr. Huo not to send me to G Country. There are few people there and the infrastructure is not sound. If I go there, it will be no different from being in exile.¡± Chapter 270 - Grand Finale Chapter 270 - Grand Finale ¡°I originally intended it to be an exile. Don¡¯t worry, Mo Lian will be with you,¡± Huo Zhen said calmly. His eyes were still looking at Mo Yan gently. ¡°Are you satisfied with what I did?¡± Only then did Mo Yan realize that Huo Zhen was sticking up for her. The conditions in G Country were tough. Mo Dong and Mo Lian were used to living in luxury. Once there, they would definitely not get used to it. Even if they could survive there, they would still be traumatized. ¡°I¡¯m very satisfied.¡± Mo Yan was not pretentious, nor did she feel pity for Mo Dong and the others. Everything was his own fault. ¡°Mo Yan, I¡¯m your father. Have you never thought about the friendly sentiments between us?¡± Mo Dong was anxious as he pointed at Mo Yan and scolded her. Huo Zhen wanted to stand up for Mo Yan, but Mo Yan gently pressed on his arm. ¡°I don¡¯t need to trouble you. I can do it myself.¡± ¡°Mo Dong, what you said is really interesting.¡± Mo Yan sneered, ¡°You mistreated me and my mother. When you didn¡¯t care whether we were dead or alive, did you ever think that we were a family? My mother was in the ward, awaiting money to save her life, and what were you doing? You didn¡¯t lend me a single cent, and you were still fooling around outside. Did you ever think that this day woulde?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Mo Dong still wanted to defend himself, but his tongue was tied, and he could not find any words to refute Mo Yan. Mo Yan did not want to see them again. ¡°I¡¯m very satisfied with Huo Zhen¡¯s arrangements, and I won¡¯t change it. Look at how unlucky you guys are, you¡¯re even hindering me from eating.¡± ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved. Huo Zhen nced at the security guards beside him, and someone immediately went forward to ¡°invite¡± Mo Dong and Mo Lian out. Mo Lian, who had always been extremely proud and stuck up, finally lowered her head in disappointment and did not dare to speak. Mo Yan sucked in her cheeks and seemed to be deep in thought. ¡°What, you don¡¯t like my present?¡± Huo Zhen yed with Mo Yan¡¯s hair. Even her worried look looked cute. Mo Yan pped Huo Zhen¡¯s hand away and sat upright, ¡°It¡¯s not really a matter of whether I like it or not. I originally wanted to deal with Mo Dong and Mo Lian myself. With this arrangement of yours, it¡¯s saved me a lot of trouble. But now that this matter is settled, I don¡¯t know what to do next.¡± Mo Yan pursed her lips and pulled at her hair. ¡°Alright, since you don¡¯t like this gift, I¡¯ll give you another one.¡± Huo Zhen seemed to have guessed the slight disappointment that Mo Yan felt. There was actually another gift. ¡°Are you Santa us? Why did you prepare so many gifts for me?¡± Mo Yan was confused and even had a bit of a headache. Huo Zhen was really odd that day. However, the next moment, Huo Zhen took out a small box from his pocket, knelt down on one knee, and handed it to Mo Yan. He opened the box and inside was a beautiful and unique diamond ring. Not only was the size of the diamond shocking, the design was also very clever. It was a bespoke diamond ring that Huo Zhen had spent a lot of money on, requesting for it from a famous brand. It was one of a kind. ¡°What are you doing?¡±Mo Yan was startled and stepped back. ¡°Of course it¡¯s a proposal. Although you¡¯re already my wife, we should still go through the process. Other people have wedding rings when they get married; my wife also has to have one.¡± Huo Zhen looked at Mo Yan dotingly and intimately. ¡°Isn¡¯t this too big, too grand?¡± Music had even started to y in the venue, and many people walked in. There were Huo Yu and Qin Yuan, Xu Tian, and colleagues who worked in thepany. They all walked in with smiles, pping and cheering, asking Mo Yan to agree to Huo Zhen¡¯s proposal. ¡°Marry him, marry him.¡± Their cheerspletely broke thest line of defense in Mo Yan¡¯s heart. Although she had already adapted to her status as Huo Zhen¡¯s wife, she had never thought that Huo Zhen would arrange such a proposal for her. Her face flushed red as she nodded repeatedly. Huo Zhen happily put the ring on Mo Yan¡¯s hand, picked her up, spun her around, and kissed her gently on the face. The crowd became even more excited, and one after another, they asked for another kiss. Mo Yan was so shy that she wanted to hide in his arms. Huo Zhen saw her embarrassment and requested for their friends to take their leave. Then, he whispered into Mo Yan¡¯s ear, ¡°I¡¯ll be preparing for the wedding next. The day will be livelier than now. You¡¯d better prepare in advance.¡± Mo Yan didn¡¯t hear him clearly, and she didn¡¯t know whether to nod or shake her head. Huo Zhen hugged her even tighter, his face almost touching Mo Yan¡¯s ear. He whispered, ¡°You don¡¯t have to be embarrassed. I¡¯ll help you. I¡¯ll take care of you and protect you from now on.¡± After saying that, he indulgently kissed Mo Yan¡¯s lips. The kiss deepened bit by bit, as if it wanted to meld the two of them together.
