Chapter 158: Collusion
Huo Zhou decided to change Li Xiaoran. He wanted to inject the into the ruthlessness and boldness of the king of the business world into gentlemanly, kind, and gentle side of Li Xiaoran.
“Xiaoran, as long as you stand at the peak of power, love will come one after another, especially for a woman like Qiao An who despises the poor and loves the rich. As long as you let her see your power and money, there’s no need for you to mourn your past. She will run to you with a bright red heart and personally give herself to you.”
Li Xiaoran frowned. “Huo Zhou, Qiao An is not a girl who can be easily controlled. I like her because she can bloom into a gorgeous flower even in the dust. You don’t know how independent her personality is. Although she despises the poor and loves the rich, she’s not someone who would love everyone that’s wealthy.”
Huo Zhou curled his lips. “You flatter her.”
Li Xiaoran said, “You don’t understand her.”
Huo Zhou compromised. “Alright, even if she’s the kind of girl you’re talking about, she’s only high-level prey in my eyes. Xiaoran, you have to stand at a higher position to make her look up to you.”
What Huo Zhou said made sense. Qiao An didn’t love him, which meant he wasn’t charming enough.If he stood higher and let Qiao An see his excellence, perhaps one day she would look up to him.
He wanted her to regret her decision today. Giving him up was the biggest loss in Qiao An’s life.
Li Xiaoran nodded at Huo Zhou. “You’re right. I should make myself more outstanding.”
Huo Zhou’s eyes were filled with cunning intelligence. “Xiaoran, go home. As long as you’re willing to return to the Huo family and enter the mall as the young master of the Huo family, I think you can definitely achieve great things with your intelligence.”
Li Xiaoran understood what Huo Zhou meant. As long as he was willing to return to the Huo family and stand on the shoulders of the giants to expand the business, things would definitely go much smoother.
However, Li Xiaoran did not want to use the Huo family’s power. He wanted to rely on his own ability to open up a territory.
Huo Zhou actively lobbied, “Aiya, Xiaoran, what are you worried about? Come back.”
Li Xiaoran said, “I can return to the Huo family, but I want to establish myself independently.”
Huo Zhou was dumbfounded.

“What do you mean?”
Li Xiaoran said, “I want to prove myself.”
Seeing Li Xiaoran’s determined gaze, Huo Zhou seemed to see himself when he had just entered the workplace. At that time, he did not want to admit defeat and wanted to shake off the burden of having a “backer” and rely on his own hands to work in the business world. However, reality proved him wrong.
Huo Zhou also believed in Li Xiaoran and quickly gave up on this decision.
Lu Mo had been in a very bad mood recently because she had quarreled with Li Xiaoran, but Li Xiaoran did not take the initiative to ask her for peace. This made Lu Mo very crazy.
She couldn’t help but secretly think that if Qiao An and Li Xiaoran had a conflict, Li Xiaoran wouldn’t bear to have a cold war with her.
Lu Mo realized that she had actually treated Qiao An as a powerful imaginary enemy. Qiao An had clearly left her senior brother’s world, but she was still crazily jealous of Qiao An and deeply afraid of her.
She was constantly worried that the moment Qiao An and her senior met, they would abandon all barriers and walk together without hesitation.
At that time, Senior would know how much Qiao An loved him.
Lu Mo didn’t dare to think about it. If her senior knew that Qiao An loved him, he would probably devote his heart to her.
He could no longer tolerate anyone else. Lu Mo went crazy at the thought of this.
“Ah.” Lu Mo pulled her hair in pain and howled.
When Mother Lu heard her daughter’s wail, she pushed the door open and ran in nervously. “Momo, what’s wrong? You don’t look well. Tell me, did Li Xiaoran make you sad again?”
Lu Mo looked at Mrs. Lu with tears in her eyes and told her about her grievances.
“Mom, he actually kept gifts from Qiao An at home and was mad at me when I got rid of them. Why is he angry with me when I’m clearly his official girlfriend?”
“And he didn’t allow me to go to that house. He said that he bought that house for Qiao An. He promised to buy Qiao An a house, but he didn’t have to buy such an expensive house.”
Mrs. Lu felt uneasy.
She glanced at her daughter in disappointment. “It’s not like you don’t know how much Li Xiaoran likes Qiao An. When Qiao An fell off the building, Li Xiaoran took such good care of her. He took care of her more carefully than a spouse would. Momo, in my opinion, Li Xiaoran won’t be able to walk out of Qiao An’s love spell in this lifetime. Why don’t you forget about him?”
Lu Mo shook his head desperately. “Mom, do you know? Li Xiaoran is very rich. The house he bought for Qiao An is in Heavenly Imperial Garden.”
Mother Lu was dumbfounded. “Houses there are worth more than a billion yuan. Where did he get so much money to buy a house in Heavenly Imperial Garden? Could it be that Old Master Li secretly supported him?”
Lu Mo rolled his eyes at her mother and said, “Aiya, Mom, how can the Li family be so bold as to buy a combined hospital worth more than a billion yuan? Senior established the Angel Group himself. It’s very profitable.”
Mrs. Lu was overjoyed. She held her daughter’s hand tightly and praised, “Momo, no wonder you want to be with him. Xiaoran is the biggest dark horse in the capital. In a few years, he will probably become the capital’s number one noble.”
Lu Mo’s face darkened. “But he has Qiao An in his heart.”
Mrs. Lu said confidently, “Don’t worry, I have a way to make Qiao An leave the capital.”
Lu Mo was secretly delighted.
In order to catch Li Xiaoran, her son-in-law, Mother Lu decided to use some extreme methods.
She called Li Xiaoran and reprimanded him. “Xiaoran, what did you do to my Momo? Ever since she came back from your house, she hasn’t eaten or eaten and has been depressed all day. Xiaoran, you know my Momo’s health. If she did anything wrong, don’t take it to heart. Can you come and see her on account that she’s a patient?”
Li Xiaoran was a doctor. When he heard Momo’s situation, he immediately blamed himself.
“Auntie, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have lost my temper at Momo. I’ll come over to see her now.”
Li Xiaoran bought many gifts and sent them to Lu Mo’s house.
Lu Mo was also very tactful and knew when to stop.
Before Li Xiaoran could admit her mistake, she obediently admitted her mistake. “Senior, I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so willful and touched your things without your permission. I won’t do this again.”
Li Xiaoran patted her head. “I’m not a qualified boyfriend. Momo, don’t be angry. Eat obediently and treat your illness. I’ll change my bad habits in the future and won’t lose my temper at you again.”
“Yes, yes.” Lu Mo probably thought that the more obedient and sensible she was, the more Li Xiaoran liked her.
