Chapter 29: She is destined to be Mrs. Mo

Hearing this, Qiao Lan’s gratitude completely vanished. She pulled away from the man’s arm, reminding him, “Mr. Mo, I advise you not to get too involved.”

She understood Qiao Lao’s gaze.

Mo Qian was an unfathomable man. She couldn’t see through him, nor could she control him.

She wouldn’t get involved with a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Mo Qian said helplessly, “It’s you who refuses to admit it.”

Qiao Lan kindly reminded him, “We are just in a contractual marriage.”

It wasn’t that she didn’t admit it, but she didn’t want to treat the game as reality.

She didn’t want to be hurt by a relationship that was destined to end.

“I’m going to work now. Don’t forget to send me the bill.”

Qiao Lan left in her high heels, her back graceful and unrestrained, as if she wouldn’t stop for anyone.

Mo Qian’s deep black eyes locked on her slender figure, and he chuckled softly.

She was too cautious.

So cautious that she wouldn’t open her heart to anyone.

If she had investigated his identity, she would have known that the Mo family never divorced.

The moment she walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau with him, she was destined to be Mrs. Mo.

…

Qiao Lan returned to the company and asked Sun Qin to contact a professor of business management.

Mo Qian’s suggestion was very helpful to her, but she didn’t believe he knew any scholars in this field.

Sun Qin hesitated as she left the office.

Qiao Lan frowned, “When did you become so hesitant?”

“I just don’t know if I should tell you.”

“If you think you shouldn’t, you wouldn’t hesitate. Go on.”

Sun Qin said, “Chu Zhiheng called me.”

Hearing these three words, Qiao Lan reflexively felt sick. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed into deep creases.

Sun Qin looked at Qiao Lan’s reaction and said through gritted teeth, “He said he wanted to see you. I refused, but he somehow got into Qiao Corporation and is waiting for you in the meeting room. I tried to get him to leave, but he said he wouldn’t leave until he saw you.”

Qiao Lan scoffed.

Using such a rogue tactic wouldn’t work on her.

She picked up her phone and dialed Qiao Yue’s number.

After the incident with the feces, Qiao Yue’s reputation was completely ruined. Many people who were eating melon seeds added her on WeChat, followed her Weibo, and cursed at her in the comment section.

Even people who had no connection with her in the circle came to watch her show and mock her.

The girlfriends who played with An Xin all announced their breakups with her.

What Qiao Yue couldn’t bear the most was that she couldn’t get in touch with Chu Zhiheng. Every day, she was on the verge of collapse. When she saw Qiao Lan’s call, she exploded.

She answered the phone and roared hysterically, “Qiao Lan, I’m in this state because of you. You still have the face to call me. Are you trying to make fun of me?”

“I tell you, no way. Even if my reputation is ruined, I’m still the legitimate Qiao family daughter. I’m not like you!”

Those comments saying she was inferior to Qiao Lan and other unpleasant remarks constantly stimulated her nerves. She wished she could eat Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan’s thin body leaned back in the chair calmly, “Are you finished?”

Qiao Yue’s vicious words were like a punch hitting cotton, not hurting Qiao Lan at all. She felt powerless and her eyes turned red with humiliation, “Qiao Lan, are you trying to make fun of me?”

Qiao Lan corrected her, “No, I’m helping you.”

Qiao Yue didn’t believe it, “Qiao Lan, don’t pretend to be kind. You’ll help me, unless the sun rises from the west.”

Qiao Lan smiled.

Qiao Yue was usually quite stupid, but she wasn’t completely dumb at crucial moments.

She wouldn’t help her, she would only push her into a deeper abyss.

Qiao Lan said, “Don’t you want to see Chu Zhiheng? He’s in the meeting room of Qiao Corporation. Come.”

Qiao Yue was half-believing, “You’re not lying to me?”

“Believe it or not.”

Qiao Lan hung up the phone after speaking. She opened the file in front of her and said casually, “Ignore him. Someone will take him away.”

She believed Qiao Yue would definitely come.

Sun Qin gave her a thumbs up in admiration.

Diverting the disaster, she had to admire Qiao General.

…

“Mr. Chu, Qiao General is in her office. No one is allowed to enter. Don’t make it difficult for me, okay?”

“I’ll explain to Lanlan myself. She won’t blame you.”

The voices of Sun Qin and Chu Zhiheng arguing came from outside.

Qiao Lan frowned, got up, and opened the door to her office. A huge bouquet of roses came into view.

Chu Zhiheng said happily, “Lanlan, long time no see.”

He was wearing a white British suit, looking gentlemanly and refined, gentle and elegant.

But in Qiao Lan’s eyes, he was just wearing a different skin. He couldn’t hide his dirtiness.

Qiao Lan said coldly, “Chu Zhiheng, what are you doing barging into my office? Are you here to seek justice for your Qiao Yue?”

Chu Zhiheng hurriedly explained, “Lanlan, don’t misunderstand. I’m here to see you.”

He explained helplessly and aggrievedly, “I didn’t mean to barge into your office. I wanted to go to France to find you, but my ID was restricted from entering the country and you blocked my phone number. I was afraid you wouldn’t want to see me, so I had to do this.”

Qiao Lan didn’t know about Chu Zhiheng’s intention to chase her to France. If he really did chase after her, she might be disgusted to death.

“What are you looking for me for?”

Chu Zhiheng handed her the flowers and said affectionately, “Lanlan, can’t you see? I want to pursue you again.”

His affection made Qiao Lan nauseous. She didn’t even look at him, but crossed her arms and said impatiently, “Chu Zhiheng, you chose Qiao Yue back then, and now you’re back to cling to me. Don’t you think it’s shameless?”

Chu Zhiheng hurriedly explained, “Lanlan, I didn’t choose her. I would never do such a thing on my wedding day, no matter how absurd I was. I was tricked by Qiao Yue. Believe me!”

Qiao Lan nodded. She believed this was something Qiao Yue could do.

In order to hurt her, she was willing to lose a thousand herself. Unfortunately, she didn’t hurt her at all.

Seeing that Qiao Lan believed him, Chu Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief, “Lanlan, I regret seeing her that day. You don’t know how much I missed you during the time we were apart.”

Qiao Lan’s eyes darkened, “Chu Zhiheng, the perfect ex is like someone who died and disappeared forever, not like you, clinging to me and constantly pushing my limits. Understand?”

Everyone in the world knew that Chu Zhiheng and Qiao Yue had teamed up to put a green hat on her. If she went back to pick up trash, she would be disgusted to death.

“I don’t understand. I only know that if you like someone, you have to pursue them bravely.” Chu Zhiheng put the roses in front of Qiao Lan and knelt down on one knee, “Lanlan, forgive me.”

Qiao Lan asked back, “Chu Zhiheng, are you sure you want to pursue a married woman?”

Chu Zhiheng said confidently, “Lanlan, you won’t marry him.”

He didn’t believe Qiao Lan would lower herself to marry a taxi driver.

Even if he was handsome, he wasn’t worthy of Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan chuckled, “Do you need me to show you my marriage certificate?”
