After they got into the car, Huo Xiaoran asked Xiao Yue uneasily, “How was your chat with Qiao An?”
Xiao Yue looked infatuated. “I really admire Qiao An more and more. She has the face of a fairy but the heart of a woman.”
Huo Xiaoran was rarely excited. “Why?”
Xiao Yue said, “When Sister Qiao An encounters any difficulties, she doesn’t want to rely on men. Instead, she wants to solve the problem herself.”
Huo Xiaoran fell silent.
“She has to have a man to rely on, right?” Huo Zhou said, “With her taste, finding a husband is like pouring it out of a trash can. Each one is worse than the other.”
Xiao Yue disagreed. “Qiao An’s taste isn’t that bad. Besides…” She suddenly realized that she had almost let it slip and quickly covered her mouth.
Huo Zhou and Huo Xiaoran heard something and looked at Xiao Yue at the same time.
Xiao Yue had nowhere to hide in front of two business tycoons. She looked out of the window guiltily and deliberately changed the topic. “What are we eating tonight?”
Huo Zhou shouted at her fiercely, “Xiao Yue.”
“Huh?” Xiao Yue turned her head helplessly.
“What did Qiao An tell you?” Huo Zhou threatened. “You know how much your cousin Xiaoran cares about her. Don’t hide Qiao An’s matter from him.”
Xiao Yue said awkwardly, “But I promised Qiao An not to tell anyone. If I break my oath, I won’t be able to get true love in my life.”
Huo Xiaoran was suspicious. What secret did Qiao An have that she couldn’t tell him?
When the car returned to Heavenly Imperial Garden, he saw Lu Mo wearing a wig and a luxurious dress. Her haggard face stood quietly in the wind.
Xiao Yue parked the car by the open road outside the courtyard and Huo Xiaoran immediately opened the door and walked out.
“Momo, why are you here?”
Lu Mo looked at Huo Xiaoran with grievance and unwillingness. Before she could speak, tears flowed down her face.
Huo Xiaoran became even more anxious. “Momo, what’s wrong?”
Lu Mo looked at Huo Xiaoran pitifully and accused her humbly, “Senior , did you go to see Qiao An behind my back? Didn’t you promise me that you wouldn’t see her again?”
Huo Xiaoran said openly, “Momo, I’m just introducing her to the director. After all, her book is the representative work of our Hai Yue Corporation. Running her book well will be very helpful to the Hai Yue Corporation.”
Lu Mo refused to give up. “Senior, your career is mainly in medicine. E-books are not your interest at all. You bought over the Hai Yue Corporation and even filmed a movie for her new book, but it was all to get close to her, right?”
Huo Xiaoran did not speak.
Lu Mo cried even more sadly. Perhaps it was because crying affected her illness, but she held her chest and breathed with difficulty. “Senior, I love you. I can’t not be jealous. If you really care about me, I hope you can be ruthless and cut off all contact with her.”
Huo Xiaoran sighed helplessly and said, “Momo, don’t worry. This is the last time.”
A hint of smugness flashed across Lu Mo’s eyes, but she asked, “Senior, can you revoke Qiao An’s film rights?”
Huo Xiaoran was very troubled. “Momo, a gentleman never goes back on his word. I can’t do such a thing.”
Lu Mo took a deep breath. “Senior, I’m so afraid that you’ll rekindle your relationship with her. After all, you’re successful now. Qiao An is a vain woman. When she sees that you’re doing well now, she’ll definitely turn around and pursue you again. And you men just have to think that what you can’t get is the best. I’m afraid that you’ll be seduced by Qiao An.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “Momo, since I’ve already chosen you, I’ll be responsible for you. I won’t be unfaithful with other women. Don’t worry, after I fulfill my promise to Qiao An, I’ll cut ties with her.”
Lu Mo knew when to stop. Otherwise, he would be disgusted.
Xiao Yue felt that Lu Mo’s love was too suffocating. However, since the person in question did not object, she could not say anything.
She waved at Huo Xiaoran and said goodbye, “Cousin, Cousin-in-law, I have something on tonight, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Lu Mo knew that Xiao Yue was the director of Qiao An’s new book. She was afraid that if they got too close, Xiao Yue would become Qiao An’s pawn.
So she had to strike early. She wanted to pull Xiao Yue’s heart to her first.
She said to Xiao Yue obsequiously, “Yueyue, it’s rare for Cousin-in-law to leave the hospital. Can you have a meal with me tonight?”
She was already standing on the moral high ground and begging others. Xiao Yue and Huo Zhou could only risk their lives to accompany her.
Since Lu Mo was a cancer patient, Huo Xiaoran was worried that the food outside was not healthy enough, so he suggested having a meal at home.
This was good.
After Lu Mo entered the house in the Heavenly Imperial Garden, she started to cause trouble again.
She pestered Huo Xiaoran and asked, “Senior, I like this house. Can you use it as our family residence?”
Huo Xiaoran refused firmly. “No. Momo, you know that I bought this house for Qiao An.”
Lu Mo’s face instantly collapsed. She cried, “I’m your fiancée. Can’t I compare to an old friend like her?”
Huo Xiaoran said tiredly, “If you want to be close to the hospital, I can buy a house for you.”
Lu Mo sobbed and said, “Senior, did you have to buy Qiao An a new house? Can you give it to me?”
Xiao Yue could not stand it anymore.
She threw her spoon on the coffee table. The loud crash made everyone stare at her.
Xiao Yue was straightforward. “Cousin-in-law, we’re all women. Why is the difference between you and Qiao An so huge?”
Lu Mo’s face turned pale.
There was a deeper meaning to her words. However Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou couldn’t tell; they just felt that she liked to be jealous. Since her jealousy was also a sign of love for Huo Xiaoran, so they let her have her way.
However, Xiao Yue was a woman and was very disgusted by Lu Mo’s troublemaking. She bluntly accused Lu Mo of being pretentious. “Qiao An relied on her own hands to update non-stop for 365 days. She worked day and night for two years and earned a lot of money. She bought a big house for herself. As for you, you lie in a hospital bed every day. Not only did you not create value, but you also racked your brains every day to get a lot of money from my cousin. A cancer patient like you is not worthy of sympathy at all.”
Lu Mo’s face turned red.
“Xiao Yue,” Huo Zhou said angrily. “How can you talk to Lu Mo like that?”
Xiao Yue was also a Missy and occasionally had a bad temper.
“Did I say something wrong?”
