Chapter 244: Questioning Lu Mo

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huo Xiaoran turned around and saw Lu Mo wearing a white dress and holding a bunny mask as she looked at him weakly.

“Momo, why are you here?” Huo Xiaoran asked in surprise.

Lu Mo bit her lip and suppressed her anger. “If I didn’t come, how would I know that you and Qiao An were having so much fun?”

Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face froze. No one could tell what his emotion was.

Was it guilt, or impatience?

Lu Mo turned to Qiao An and criticized angrily, “Qiao An, how can you be so shameless? You knew that Senior is engaged to me, but you actually seduced him when I was critically ill.”

Her accusation immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her.

Lu Mo only wanted to discourage and embarrass Qiao An, but she didn’t expect that this would also embarrass Huo Xiaoran.

Qiao An walked up to Lu Mo and said elegantly, “Lu Mo, today is the day of the social gathering between the Angel Group and the Huo Group. Since the two CEOs, who don’t like to socialize, are personally attending this banquet, you should understand the importance of this banquet to the two groups.”

“They are sending an important message from the two corporations to the outside world that they are family. And you’re latching on a serious illness out to cause trouble on such an important occasion.”

“That’s right. I danced with CEO Huo, but you also danced with Li Zecheng. Every employee here danced with their dance partners. Can you define them as disloyal to their partners?”

Lu Mo roared hysterically, “But you’re different. You’re CEO Huo’s ex-girlfriend. You’re the ex-lover that he can’t have. It’s just not appropriate for you to dance together.”

Qiao An said slowly, “It’s true that I’m CEO Huo’s ex-girlfriend, but I’ve broken up with him for five years. For the past five years, we’ve been dating other people openly. If there’s anything between us, Lu Mo, you will not have the chance to get engaged to him. After all, you’ve only been engaged for a few days.”

Lu Mo was speechless.

“Qiao An, I know you’re eloquent. You can even talk straw into gold. Today, I misunderstood you. I apologize, but I hope you’ll stay away from my fiancé in the future and not cause unnecessary misunderstandings.”

Qiao An fell into deep thought and didn’t answer Lu Mo’s question for a long time.

Lu Mo looked at her expectantly. Her move was quite sinister. She forced Qiao An to make a promise in front of so many employees. If Qiao An met Huo Xiaoran again in the future, it would look very bad on Qiao An.

Qiao An looked at Lu Mo faintly and said, “Lu Mo, why are you so afraid that I’ll get close to Huo Xiaoran? Why are you feeling guilty?”

Qiao An’s sudden change from defense to attack caught Lu Mo off guard.

She began to stammer. “Qiao An, what nonsense are you talking about?”

Qiao An smiled. “Your driver tried to kill me a number of times. I have no grudge against him. Who is he working for?”

Lu Mo’s face turned pale.

“He just feels sorry for me because I’ll be sad if you get too close to Senior. He knows I’m not well and he’s just sticking up for me.”

Qiao An’s expression instantly turned cold. “I’m too close to President Huo? Lu Mo, you’re lying through your teeth. In the past few years, everyone knows that I hated Huo Xiaoran. I couldn’t wait to destroy him. Lu Mo, we’ve already become so distant. Are you still afraid that we’ll rekindle our relationship?”

Qiao An’s aggressiveness was too much for Lu Mo.

In the end, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

“Lu Mo,” Huo Xiaoran called out.

In order to relax the patient, Huo Xiaoran instructed Huo Zhou, “Clear the area immediately.”

Not long after, only a few people were left in the huge venue.

Huo Xiaoran gave Lu Mo first aid. Xiao Yue said sarcastically, “She’s pretending to be sick. Cousin, don’t believe her.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Xiao Yue and scolded coldly, “Can’t a doctor like me tell if she’s pretending to be sick? Yueyue, shut up.”

Qiao An looked at the pale Lu Mo and then at the anxious Huo Xiaoran. She didn’t understand what the problem was. Lu Mo didn’t seem to be pretending to be sick.

Before long, Lu Mo slowly woke up. Huo Xiaoran couldn’t care less and carried her to the hospital.

Qiao An watched as Huo Xiaoran left. Then, she glanced at the two deer dolls on the ground and sighed as she picked them up.

After regaining her consciousness at the hospital, Lu Mo kept apologizing to Huo Xiaoran. “Senior, I’m sorry. I was too willful and ruined tonight’s gathering.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at her steadily. “Momo, I also want to know the answer to Qiao An’s question.”

Lu Mo pretended to be confused. “What question?”

“Why were you so afraid that I was with her? So afraid that you even encouraged Li Changhai to hurt Qiao An?”

Lu Mo said, “Senior, if she doesn’t believe me, don’t you believe me too? Uncle Li didn’t hurt Qiao An under the orders of our Lu family.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Momo, this matter is serious. I only believe in evidence.”

Lu Mo immediately felt cold. “What do you mean?”

“I’ll capture Li Changhai and get to the bottom of it. If this matter is related to the Lu family, Lu Mo, you know that I, Huo Xiaoran, will definitely deal with it impartially. Also, what I hate the most is deception.”

With that, Huo Xiaoran stood up and left.

Lu Mo collapsed on the bed.

His whole body shook.

She seemed to have gone too far.

Qiao An returned home in a daze. She placed the two deer dolls on the dressing table and stared at them.

Qiao An’s heart ached when she recalled how Huo Xiaoran had picked up Lu Mo and lost the deer.

A deer represented “With You”. Didn’t he know what the deer meant? How could he throw it away so easily?

However, Qiao An tried putting herself in Huo Xiaoran’s shoes. Under such circumstances, as a doctor, it was only right for him to consider saving the patient first.

Qiao An’s thoughts were in turmoil. In the end, she actually fell asleep on her stomach.

The next day, when Qiao An woke up, something tragic happened. She actually caught a cold.

In the past few years, her body had suffered a few serious blows, and her immunity had taken a hit drastically. If she was not careful, she would catch a cold. Bronchitis and pneumonia also happened from time to time.

Qiao An didn’t dare be careless. She put on her coat and went to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

She thought that if she used the medicine in time, she could suppress her illness. Unexpectedly, after breakfast, her entire body was sore and weak. She crawled into bed in a daze and fell asleep.

Xiao Yue arrived at Qiao An’s house as usual, but Qiao An didn’t answer after she knocked for a long time.

She called Qiao An again. The call went through, but no one answered.

Xiao Yue was afraid that something would happen to Qiao An, so she quickly asked Huo Xiaoran for help.
