Substitute Bride’s Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man Chapter 174

Chapter 174 - Ugly Old Man

Mo Lian’s eyes were alert. “What did you give me?”

“A surprise.” Mo Yan smiled at Mo Lian. “Actually, you can open it now. Just don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Seeing Mo Yan like this, Mo Lian felt even more uncomfortable. She looked at the box and put it away.

After receiving everyone’s gifts, Mo Lian began to prepare. No matter what scheme she had, she still needed to put on a good show in front of outsiders.

Taking advantage of Mo Lian’s departure, Mo Yan pulled Luo Tao to Qiao Li’s side and introduced them.

Mo Yan and Qiao Li’s relationship could not be said to be particularly good. Because Xu Wan was usually in the middle to lubricate things, the few of them got along quite well. But now that Xu Wan was not around, it felt a little awkward.

It was the girl next to them who saw that the atmosphere was tense, so she spoke first.

The girl was in the same department as Qiao Li and Xu Wan, so they didn’t usually have much interaction. It was only because they bumped into each other at this kind of occasion that they got to know each other.

Mo Yan introduced herself to the girl, but the girl told her that she was very familiar with her. Mo Yan only needed to think a little before she knew where she met her. Mo Yan wondered if everyone in the company already knew her based on rumors.

Not mentioning herself, Mo Yan introduced Luo Tao to the two of them. It would be fine if she didn’t introduce him, but when she introduced the girl, her eyes widened even more.

“Didn’t you say that Mo Yan’s husband is a gangster who has been in prison before? How is it possible!” The girl exclaimed.

Mo Yan’s mouth twitched. What’s wrong with this girl? Talking bad about others in front of others? She didn’t dare to look at Luo Tao. Instead, she turned her gaze to Qiao Li.

Qiao Li still had a poker smile on her face, but Mo Yan could see that the smile was a little stiff. The girl seemed to have realized that she had said something that she shouldn’t have, so she quickly tried to make up for it.

“Haha, it’s all rumors. It’s obviously nonsense. He doesn’t look like a gangster at all!”

Mo Yan really wanted to hit her, but she held onto Luo Tao’s hand and suppressed her impulse. Glancing at Luo Tao secretly, Mo Yan was surprised to find that not only was Luo Tao not angry, he seemed to be in a good mood.

“Hmm, may I ask what the rumors about me are saying?”

The girl was feeling vexed, but when she heard Luo Tao ask this question, she couldn’t help but exclaim.

Luo Tao repeated his question again and quietly waited for the girl’s answer.

The girl looked at Qiao Li and then at Mo Yan. Seeing that neither of them had any reaction, she could only tell the truth.

Actually, it wasn’t that Mo Yan didn’t want to give a reaction, but that Mo Yan didn’t know what expression to use to respond to her.

“The rumors in the company say that you don’t do your job properly, only know how to fight, and even went to jail. They say that you are a dirty and ugly old man. They even said that Mo Yan married you because you… molested her, that’s why she married you.”

Mo Yan listened carefully to the long list of words that she said and her eyes widened. What ugly old man? What molested? When this girl said molested, she even thought about it. Before she went to Jing City, there were only the first few. Why were there more rumors after just half a month?

When the girl started talking, she carefully observed Luo Tao’s reaction. When she saw that his expression was calm, she thought that he didn’t care. However, when she said the last sentence, she could clearly feel that the man’s aura was getting stronger, and it was suffocating.

Mo Yan tugged at Luo Tao and smiled apologetically, “Those people are just jealous and talkative. It’s good that I know what you are like. You don’t have to care about what others say.”

“Hmm, who are those people?”

Luo Tao lowered his head and looked at Mo Yan with a pair of pitch-black eyes.

After a moment, Mo Yan could not resist Luo Tao’s gaze and said in self-despair, “Ah! You know it! It’s Chen Ya and the others! They aren’t as good at work as me, so they made up all these rumors.”

Luo Tao chuckled, letting go of Mo Yan.

Seeing the two of them interact, the girl suddenly touched Qiao Li’s arm and whispered, “What are they doing in public?”

Qiao Li looked at the person beside her and handed her a small cake. It was obvious that she wanted to quickly shut her mouth.

In the office, the girl did not like to talk. She did not expect her to be so cheerful in private.

Thinking about it, it made sense. If she spoke like this, she would have been hated by everyone in the office.
