Until Mo Lian hung up the phone, Mo Yan was still in a daze.
Luo Tao walked over while wiping his hair and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mo Yan’s gaze stiffly followed the voice and subconsciously revealed a smile.
“Are you done showering?”
Luo Tao glanced at her phone and acknowledged.
“Who called you just now?” Luo Tao continued to ask.
Mo Yan hesitated for a moment but still told Luo Tao that it was Mo Lian. After all, Mo Lian had asked Luo Tao to go with her.
“She asked me to go too?” Luo Tao’s eyes revealed some surprise and turned to smile coldly.
“Yes.”
What does Mo Lian want this time? Mo Yan asked in her heart.
Luo Tao sat beside Mo Yan and opened the invitation letter that Mo Lian sent. The exquisite and gorgeous invitation letter was printed with neat handwriting.
“Since you think she has bad intentions, then don’t go.”
Mo Yan sighed. “She said she knows who Cheng’s father is.”
“She’s probably lying to you.”
“Even if that’s the case, we still have to ask.”
Mo Yan smiled bitterly. She knew that she had no choice but to go.
Luo Tao touched Mo Yan’s head that was lowered. “Don’t be afraid, I’ll accompany you.”
Leaning in Luo Tao’s embrace, Mo Yan nodded slightly. She had to face what she had to face.
…
On the weekend, at the birthday party, Mo Lian was holding champagne while greeting her guests.
A party hosted by a slightly wealthy family like theirs would usually have people whom they wanted to make friends with to see if they could build a relationship, invited. Mo Lian was exchanging pleasantries with her guests as she glanced at the door from the corner of her eyes.
A girl wearing Chanel’s latest dress walked to Mo Lian’s side with a glass of wine and greeted the person beside her. When the person saw that she was the only daughter of the richest man in C City, she smiled and made room for the two of them.
Wang Nuo asked Mo Lian expressionlessly, “She’s not here yet?”
“Yes.”
Seeing that she did not look well, Mo Lian did not dare to reply too softly.
As the only daughter of the richest man in C City, Wang Nuo had been pampered since she was young. Therefore, every time she thought of the humiliation these two had brought to her, Wang Nuo wanted to tear them into pieces.
The guests arrived one after another, but the two figures that she hated to the core were still nowhere to be seen. Wang Nuo was a little anxious as she waited.
Just as she was secretly guessing that the two of them didn’t dare to come, there was suddenly a slight commotion at the door.
Wang Nuo and Mo Lian looked along the crowd and saw Mo Yan in a light blue short gown with a playful bun on her head, revealing her fair and beautiful swan neck. The high heels on her feet made her look even taller.
Dressed like this, Mo Yan was like an elf in the sea, her every frown and smile was incomparably lively and pure.
However, even though Mo Yan was so beautiful, it still couldn’t cover up the elegance of the man beside her.
Wang Nuo could tell that Luo Tao wasn’t wearing any famous brands, but whatever he wore, it made people feel as if they were at a runway show. Whether it was his appearance or aura, she was impressed by him.
“Eh? Isn’t Mo Yan from your company, Qiao Li? Why is she here?”
Mo Lian heard someone mention Mo Yan’s name. She turned her head and saw two girls standing together and talking about Mo Yan.
“Mo Yan?”
Qiao Li looked up and happened to meet Mo Yan’s eyes. Mo Yan gave her a big smile, causing the surrounding people to gasp.
Mo Yan didn’t expect to meet an acquaintance here. She couldn’t help but slowly loosen her grip on Luo Tao’s arm.
Sensing Mo Yan’s movements, Luo Tao asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
“I met an acquaintance.” Mo Yan gave Luo Tao a reassuring smile.
Since it was a birthday party, a birthday gift was essential, even if it was to face the most annoying person.
Mo Yan walked to Mo Lian’s side and said with a smile, “Happy birthday.” She handed a small box with a beautifully wrapped package to Mo Lian, which was meticulously prepared by her.
For this thing, she had specially went to meet Qin Yuan, which made Luo Tao jealous.
Mo Lian took the box with a guarded expression. She was prepared to open it in front of everyone in case Mo Yan was playing a trick on her, but her hand was held down by Mo Yan.
Mo Yan took a step closer and said, “The thing that I gave you is very interesting. I don’t recommend you open it now.”
As Mo Yan got closer, Mo Lian subconsciously stepped back. Although she hated Mo Yan, her fear was real. She always felt that Mo Yan was evil.
Not to mention being arrested twice and locked up in the police station for a few days, even Wang Nuo, who had been overbearing since she was young, was warned by her family not to take revenge on Mo Yan for this matter.
Although they could not take revenge, the two of them refused to let Mo Yan go just like that. That was why they wanted Mo Yan to make a fool of herself today.
