Chapter 240: Mo Yan, ‘Damsel in Distress’
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
He thought of what Huo Yu had once told him about the definition of ‘damsel in distress’.
Qin Yuan sighed and spoke again, “Trouble goes looking for sister-in-law, not the other way around. Sister-in-law is very good to brother Huo. Don’t misunderstand and give them trouble.”
Qin Yuan was clear about the relationship between Huo Zhen and Huo Yu. If Huo Zhen was caught between his sister and wife because of something he said, Qin Yuan would be a sinner.
“I see!” Huo Yu nodded thoughtfully.
“I’m quite curious about what kind of girl can charm my brother. When will you bring me to meet her?” Huo Yu said excitedly.
!!
“I won’t,” Qin Yuan firmly refused.
Previously, CEO Song of Hong Jing had inquired about his relationship with his sister-in-law and asked if he was pursuing her. At that time, he neither admitted nor denied it in order to help his sister-in-law solve the problem. In the end, he was treated as his sister-in-law’s suitor.
Now, he was asked to bring his fiancée to meet the rumored ‘sweetheart’. What was this all about?
“Qin Yuan, give me a reason.”
When he heard Huo Yu’s voice drop a few degrees, Qin Yuan instantly shivered. He had to admit that the members of the Huo family really had their own ways of attacking him.
“Give me a reason too. On what basis should I bring you to meet her? Or do you just want to have a look at her and leave?”
Huo Yu frowned. Indeed, she did not intend to just have a look and then leave. She wanted to get in contact with her. As for the reason, she had not thought of it.
Qin Yuan glanced at the unhappy Huo Yu and felt a little depressed.
“I heard that the Mo family is planning to hold a charity banquet. If you want to meet sister-in-law, you can try your luck.”
“The Mo family? The Mo family that replaced the bride?” Huo Yu sneered.
“Yes, sister-in-law’s original family, but she has already cut off ties with them,” Qin Yuan replied.
Huo Yu understood Qin Yuan’s meaning after thinking for a moment. Because ties had been broken off, she was unsure whether Mo Yan would attend.
“I got it. Let’s wait until the Mo family sends an invitation!”
As the old saying went, if someone mentions you behind your back, you would sneeze. As such, Mo Yan had already sneezed several times in the office.
Li Guoguo sat opposite Mo Yan and watched with reddened eyes as Mo Yan sneezed non-stop.
“Sister Mo Yan, do you have a cold?”
Mo Yan shook her head. She was fine earlier, but had suddenly sneezed.
Sniffing, Mo Yan said, “Guoguo, it’s your boyfriend’s fault that he cheated on you. You don’t have to be too sad. It’s just that you didn’t meet the right person.”
That day, Li Guoguo came to work as usual. It was just lunch time, but she had already been barricaded in the office. Then, she was made to listen to a love drama.
From how Li Guoguo met her boyfriend on the dating app, to how her boyfriend had pursued her and purchased many items for her, to how good her boyfriend was to her when they met… In the end, her loving boyfriend actually cheated on her and even wanted to break up with her. He must have been seduced and so on. Mo Yan felt her head spin on hearing that.
She only wanted to focus on her tasks and work hard. She really didn’t want to be an Agony Aunt!
“Sister Mo Yan, how did you meet brother-in-law? Sister, brother-in-law treats you so well. Can you teach me how it’s done?”
Hearing Li Guoguo mention Luo Tao, Mo Yan immediately felt alarmed. She recalled what Xu Wan had said the other day.
“Your brother-in-law and I got to know each other through family introductions. There’s nothing special about us.”
Mo Yan didn’t want to mention Luo Tao in front of Li Guoguo anymore, so she kept it vague.
“Sister Mo Yan, tell me about it! You and your brother-in-law are so close. Is there a trick to it? I want to learn too. I don’t want to break up with him. I want to win him back.” Li Guoguo stared at Mo Yan to show her sincerity.
Mo Yan lowered her eyes and asked tentatively, “What do you think of Luo Tao?”
“Brother-in-law is wonderful! He is handsome, and his voice is pleasant to listen to. He also knows how to trade stocks and do translations. He is simply the ideal boyfriend!” Li Guoguo said with longing.
Mo Yan’s eyes were cold. She had been willing to take care of Li Guoguo because when she had been alone, Li Guoguo stood by her side. However, did Li Guoguo think she was stupid by setting her sights on her husband?
