Chapter 49: Once Loved, Even Life Can Be Given

Tang Hongwen received Qiao Lan’s invitation with some hesitation.

He really didn’t want to eat the couple’s dog food, but he had booked a flight back to the capital tomorrow, and he had something he wanted to talk to Mo Qian about. After thinking for a moment, he agreed.

As soon as Tang Hongwen entered the private room, he felt an unusual atmosphere inside.

Mo Qian’s like handsome face was expressionless, his thin lips tightly pressed together, his whole body exuding an air of displeasure.

Qiao Lan seemed not to notice, and was browsing messages with her head down.

She heard the footsteps, looked up, and invited with a smile, “Mr. Tang, you’re here.”

Tang Hongwen sat beside Mo Qian, a smile on his lips that was a little distant, “Ms. Qiao, I’ve done everything you asked me to do, and I’m preparing to return to the capital tomorrow.”

Qiao Lan thanked him sincerely, “Mr. Tang, thank you.”

Tang Hongwen was already giving her face by sparing ten days to teach Qiao Zhenyuan, and she didn’t have the face to ask Tang Hongwen to continue helping Qiao Zhenyuan pass Qiao Lao’s test.

She would figure out other ways for the subsequent tests.

“It’s what I should do.”

Tang Hongwen understood Qiao Lan’s worries and said, “You don’t have to worry about the subsequent tests. I’ll have my assistant remotely tutor him and help him get control of the company.”

Qiao Lan’s beautiful eyes lit up, “Mr. Tang, thank you so much, you’ve solved my urgent problem.”

Tang Hongwen glanced at Mo Qian, “It’s my pleasure.”

How could Qiao Lan not understand his gaze?

Tang Hongwen’s willingness to help was all because of Mo Qian.

Qiao Lan always felt that their relationship was not simply a matter of owing a favor.

Tang Hongwen was not only afraid of Mo Qian, but also admired him.

Would a business elite admire a good-for-nothing?

Qiao Lan became more and more suspicious of Mo Qian’s identity.

Mo Qian could feel Qiao Lan’s suspicious gaze and asked, “When are you leaving?”

“Tomorrow afternoon’s flight.”

“Hmm, go to the airport yourself.”

Qiao Lan felt it was impolite, “I’ll take you there.”

Tang Hongwen came to Haishi for her sake, and she should do her duty as a host.

Tang Hongwen hurriedly waved his hand, “No, no, no, I’m going to take a walk around Haishi tomorrow and then take a taxi to the airport. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“I’ll have my assistant take you.”

“I don’t like to be a bother.”

“Okay.”

Since Tang Hongwen had said so, Qiao Lan didn’t insist anymore.

During this time, Qiao Lan went to the bathroom, leaving only Mo Qian and Tang Hongwen in the private room.

Tang Hongwen could no longer hold back and asked the question he had been brewing for a long time, “Second Brother, aren’t you going back to the capital?”

“The time is not yet ripe.”

“I heard that Mo Zheng is making the company a mess, and the shareholders are all dissatisfied with him. These past two days, many shareholders have contacted me, hoping that I can return to Mo Corporation.”

Tang Hongwen paused and said, “They also indirectly inquired about your whereabouts.”

After Mo Zheng took over, the shareholders gradually realized the reality.

Mo Corporation became an invincible multinational group because of Mo Qian’s existence.

Without Mo Qian, Mo Corporation would be nothing but a facade.

A cold glint flashed in Mo Qian’s deep black eyes, “It’s too late.”

They hoped he would return to Mo Corporation because Mo Zheng’s decisions had violated their interests, not because they were loyal to him.

What he wanted was absolute loyalty.

If he returned to Mo Corporation, he would definitely make a major bloodbath.

Tang Hongwen looked at Mo Qian’s cold and bloodthirsty black eyes and vaguely anticipated that if he returned to the capital, he would surely unleash a bloody storm.

Tang Hongwen, “Second Brother, I’ll return to the capital and prepare for your return.”

Mo Qian sneered.

Return?

He might not go back.

Seeing this, Tang Hongwen had a bad feeling, “Second Brother, don’t tell me you’re not planning to return to Mo Corporation.”

Mo Qian calmly asked back, “Is that not allowed?”

Tang Hongwen’s eyes flashed with disapproval, “Mo Corporation is the company you built to its current height. Are you willing to give it up?”

He had been following Mo Qian since he graduated and knew how much Mo Qian had sacrificed for Mo Corporation.

It had all his heart and soul poured into it, how could he give it up to that insidious villain Mo Zheng?

Tang Hongwen said, “Even if you get rid of all those wolf-hearted shareholders, there’s no need to give up, right?”

Mo Qian said lightly, “There’s nothing to be reluctant about.”

His tone was light, as if he were talking about something worthless, not the Mo Corporation that everyone yearned for.

Tang Hongwen was about to say something else when Qiao Lan came back.

She noticed the strange atmosphere between the two and couldn’t help asking, “Did I interrupt you?”

“No.”

Mo Qian filled her cup with tea, “You came back just in time.”

Qiao Lan was smart enough not to ask further.

Tang Hongwen moved his lips, Mo Qian gave him a warning look, and he had to swallow the words back down.

When they parted, Tang Hongwen, defying Mo Qian’s pressure, said with a stiff neck, “You’re too talented to stay in Haishi. I’m willing to give you a chance.”

He really couldn’t bear to see Mo Qian hanging around a woman every day, doing things that wasted his life’s value and were meaningless.

Mo Qian’s eyes darkened, “You take care of yourself. I know what I’m doing.”

Tang Hongwen asked unwillingly, “What are you doing?”

“Pursuing lifelong happiness.”

Tang Hongwen: “…”

If it weren’t for the extremely serious expression on Mo Qian’s handsome face, he would have thought he was joking.

A heartless and loveless person actually wants to pursue lifelong happiness, which is more surprising than the sun rising from the west.

But thinking about the Mo family’s specialty in producing infatuated people, it seemed reasonable.

Tang Hongwen looked at Qiao Lan who was settling the bill at the bar and asked in a low voice, “Second Brother, do you love Qiao Lan because she’s like you?”

They were both treated as wives to stabilize the family business.

Neither of them had been loved, the only difference being that Mo Qian was a true member of the Mo family.

Mo Qian didn’t agree with his statement, “I’m not so perverted that I like my own shadow.”

His love was pure, not because Qiao Lan was like him.

“Sorry.”

He underestimated Second Brother.

Qiao Lan came over after settling the bill, and Tang Hongwen solemnly entrusted her, “Ms. Qiao, Mo Qian is a man worth your true heart. Cherish him.”

The Mo family’s people don’t love if they don’t love, but once they love, they can even give their lives for her.

Didn’t Mo Qian’s father leave like that?

The woman who can be loved by a Mo family man is a happy one.

Qiao Lan glanced at Mo Qian, “I know.”

Mo Qian handed him a business card, “You can go here after you return to the capital.”

Tang Hongwen looked at the M Group on the business card and his eyes were a little dazed.

Mo Qian left Tang Hongwen who was in a daze and took Qiao Lan’s hand and walked away.

Qiao Lan looked sideways at the man beside her.

Mo Qian was tall, and she had to tiptoe to see his profile.

The sunlight fell down, casting a charming glow on his handsome profile.

Qiao Lan couldn’t help asking, “Mo Qian, Tang Hongwen just threw you an olive branch, why didn’t you accept it?”

That was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of.
