After accepting 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 successfully 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. She lay 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 she come to the conclusion that she had found a good husband?
Mo Yan's mother patted the back of her hand comfortingly, 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.
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 accused 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 replaced 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 the company shares." Luo Tao laughed coldly, his voice low and magnetic.
The assistant asked, "Fourth Master Huo, we have all followed your instructions. When can we pull in the net?"
"There's no rush. Let's wait a little longer. The real big fish hasn't taken the bait yet."
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-in-law wants to see me now!"
