Chapter 354: Lu Mo’s Entanglement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao An looked at Third Madam’s back and felt her heart stir. Third Madam had been strong all her life, but she suddenly put aside her pride and apologized to her. She must have been deeply hurt by her husband and mistress, so she pushed herself to others and apologized to Qiao An.

At midnight, the operating room door finally opened.

The surgeons walked out tiredly. Huo Xiaoran stood tall and proud.

Qiao An quickly went up to her and Huo Xiaoran spread his arms to hug her. He said happily, “An’an, the surgery was very successful.”

Qiao An was extremely excited when she heard this. Her beautiful eyes immediately shot out admiration. “Doctor Li, you’re really amazing.”

Huo Xiaoran was very gratified to see the light in Qiao An’s eyes. Perhaps only Qiao An didn’t care what job he chose or about benefits. She only cared if he was happy and how noble his job was.

When the brothers of the Li family heard that the old man was safe, they heaved a sigh of relief.

Second Brother was grateful to Huo Xiaoran. “Fourth Brother, it’s been hard on you.”

Huo Xiaoran nodded. “Old Master needs to rest. Don’t disturb him tonight. You can go in to visit him tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, okay.”

Qiao An saw the fatigue in Huo Xiaoran’s eyes and said with heartache, “Brother Xiaoran, the surgery is over. Go home and rest well.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “I’ll take off my antibacterial suit. Wait for me.”

When Qiao An and Huo Xiaoran were leaving the hospital, they bumped into an old friend—Lu Mo’s father.

When Mr. Lu saw Huo Xiaoran, his expression twisted.

Huo Xiaoran was stunned when he saw the white coat on him. He greeted him formally, “Uncle Lu, it’s so late. Why are you here?”

Mr. Lu snorted and said calmly, “Thanks to you, I was demoted from dean to doctor.” His words revealed his hatred for Huo Xiaoran.

Huo Xiaoran smiled gently. “Do you hate me for breaking up your family?”

Mr. Lu glared at him. “Xiaoran, I know that Lu Mo and her mother have done many wrong things. They have indeed let Qiao An down, but they haven’t let you down. Do you have to force them to their edge?”

Huo Xiaoran tightened his grip on Qiao An and said angrily, “Are you very angry I hurt the people you love? Then why don’t you put yourself in my shoes? Shouldn’t I be angry that they hurt my lover? After all, they deserve it. But my An’an is innocent.”

Mr. Lu was speechless.

After a long time, Mr. Lu sighed and said weakly, “I don’t blame you for reporting them. I just feel that there’s no need for you to be so heartless to them. Momo’s mother was sent to jail with her illness and was sentenced to ten years. I don’t know what would happen to her when she’s released. As for Momo, she was also reduced to starting from the bottom from being a Missy. She’s pitiful.”

Huo Xiaoran’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Uncle, the justice of the law is that it doesn’t care about human feelings. Uncle was once the open and aboveboard Dean Lu, but you didn’t have a sense of right and wrong. No wonder you allowed them to make one mistake after another. If you had stopped and warned them about their evil deeds, how could they have fallen to such a state?”

Mr. Lu was dumbfounded.

Huo Xiaoran’s words were like a blow to his head, instantly suffocating him.

He realized that Huo Xiaoran was right. If he’d been able to severely curb their greed in the first place, perhaps they wouldn’t have been crazy enough to kill.

At this moment, the elevator door opened. Lu Mo’s lonely figure appeared at the entrance.

The moment she saw Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An, she clearly cowered.

However, Huo Xiaoran ignored her and pulled Qiao An towards the door.

When they brushed past Lu Mo, she suddenly shouted, “Senior.”

Huo Xiaoran originally wanted to ignore her, but he did not want to be pestered by her, so he stopped.

He patted Qiao An’s head and said gently, “An’an, wait for me in the car. I’ll talk to her.”

Lu Mo’s eyes revealed ecstasy. Senior was still willing to pay attention to her, which meant that he still had feelings for her.

Qiao An glanced at Lu Mo and thought of her secret schemes to sow discord. Instead, she grabbed Huo Xiaoran’s arm and said, “Brother Xiaoran, I’ll accompany you.”

Huo Xiaoran smiled. “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll be kidnapped?”

Qiao An nodded.

Huo Xiaoran patted her head and said dotingly, “Alright.”

Then, he and Qiao An walked up to Lu Mo arm in arm. “What’s the matter?”

Lu Mo looked at them standing side by side and felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

However, she knew that Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An’s relationship was as firm as a rock. No matter what, she could not penetrate it at this moment. She also put away her thoughts of seducing Huo Xiaoran and said pitifully, “Senior, please give me a way out.”

Huo Xiaoran turned to glance at Mr. Lu and said, “You have a father who’s a doctor. Although he’s not as glorious as he once was, he can guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food and clothing. Lu Mo, what else are you not satisfied with?”

Lu Mo saw that Qiao An’s clothes and jewelry were all custom-made by big brands she had been looking forward to. The glory and luxury she had once wanted were now stolen by Qiao An. Her jealousy was intense.

Why could Qiao An, a girl from a poor county, live such a rich life, while she, a real heiress, was reduced to being unable to afford new clothes?

“Senior, I just want a decent job.” She bit her lip and held an innocent face.

Qiao An’s eyes darkened. She didn’t know if Huo Xiaoran could tell what Lu Mo was brewing. However, she could clearly see that Lu Mo wanted to get close to Huo Xiaoran.

Qiao An secretly wondered what measures she could take to cut off Lu Mo’s unrealistic thoughts.

Qiao An decided to give her a taste of his own medicine.

If Lu Mo felt that her manipulation skills were superb, she would give her a blow.

Qiao An smiled faintly and said to Huo Xiaoran, “Brother Xiaoran, since Momo is begging us so humbly, let’s help her. Coincidentally, I have a friend who owns a restaurant and is short of waitresses. I think Momo’s temperament is quite suitable for being a waitress. Why don’t we recommend her and instruct them to take good care of her? What do you think?”

She spoke of care with particular emphasis.

Lu Mo could tell from Qiao An’s malicious gaze that her care was not a good thing.

She looked up at Huo Xiaoran, hoping that Huo Xiaoran could recognize Qiao An’s ill intentions. After all, he was so smart and would definitely be able to see through Qiao An’s bad intentions.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiaoran looked at Qiao An dotingly and smiled. “Yes, my An’an is smart.”

At this moment, Mr. Lu walked over and said with a dark expression, “Xiaoran, although my Momo is down and out, she’s not at the point of being a waitress.”
