“Lu Mo, it’s not wrong for you to love me, and it’s not wrong for you to be jealous. But I, Huo Xiaoran, also have my own principles. I’m a person who keeps my word. If your pursuit conflicts with my principles, then let’s… break up!” Huo Xiaoran said helplessly.

Lu Mo seemed to have been struck by lightning. She looked at Huo Xiaoran in disbelief with tears in her eyes. “Senior, are you breaking up with me just because I scolded Qiao An? You even said that you don’t love her. How can I believe you?”

Huo Xiaoran’s gaze was cold and sharp. “Lu Mo, haven’t I always told you? I love Qiao An and can’t forget her. You were the one who said that you don’t mind and that you’re willing to slowly forget her with me.”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded.

Her mind was completely clear at this moment.

She thought that as her relationship with Huo Xiaoran got closer, she would be able to completely replace Qiao An and become the only Mrs. Huo in Huo Xiaoran’s heart.

However, she did not expect Qiao An to become an indelible existence that Huo Xiaoran would love for the rest of his life.

This was not the outcome Lu Mo wanted.

She was a rich young lady. She could suffer for a while, but not for the rest of her life.

Huo Xiaoran was very tired. “Momo, after being with you, I hate myself more and more because I realized that I’m becoming more and more useless. I can’t give you happiness at all.”

Lu Mo sensed that Huo Xiaoran had made up his mind to break up and was suddenly afraid. She felt that today’s pestering had brought her a very bad outcome. She did not dare to accept what Huo Xiaoran was about to say and chose to escape.

She covered her face and ran away, crying.

When she returned to the Lu family, she threw herself into Mrs. Lu’s arms and cried. “Mom, Qiao An and Senior stayed together last night. Senior Brother is going to break up with me today? What should I do?”

Mother Lu had been scheming for so long. How could she give up on Huo Xiaoran, her rich son-in-law, so easily?

“Did they sleep with each other?” she asked.

Lu Mo shook her head. “No.”

Mrs. Lu heaved a sigh of relief. She complained to Lu Mo, “You’re really impatient. Momo, you’ve been pretending to be sick for so long that you can even shave your beloved head. You’re about to get engaged to Huo Xiaoran. Why are you so impatient?”

Lu Mo woke up now.

Regretfully, she said, “Mom, you don’t know how good Senior is to Qiao An. He actually made her her favorite Western food.”

A ruthless glint flashed in Mother Lu’s eyes. “Huo Xiaoran is swift and decisive in the business world, and his methods are vicious. However, he’s so indecisive towards Qiao An. I really don’t know what Qiao An fed him.”

Only then did Lu Mo remember. “Senior said that Qiao An supported him for a few years and seemed to have saved his life.”

Mrs. Lu was enlightened.

“Huo Xiaoran is a loyal person. Qiao An accompanied him through the most difficult times. No wonder he cares for her so much.”

However, Mother Lu was a wealthy lady after all. She had seen too much of the world and regarded true love as worthless.

“Momo, you have to remember that as long as they don’t cross the line and Qiao An’s belly doesn’t provide incense for the Huo family, she will never be able to defeat you. The marriage of a wealthy family has never been about love. Whoever laughs last is the biggest winner.”

“Mom will take care of Qiao An for you.”

Lu Mo was grateful to her mother and threw herself into her arms. “Mom, thank you.”

Mrs. Lu patted the back of her daughter’s hand and said, “Momo, during this period of time, you have to do everything you can to treat Qiao An well. Only then will Xiaoran think that you’re sensible and feel no pressure being with you. You have to make him believe that being with you won’t affect him making up to Qiao An.”

“Mom, I understand.”

For the first time, Lu Mo put on a humble posture and texted Qiao An. “Qiao An, I was too impulsive this morning. I’m sorry. Can we meet tonight? I want to apologize to you seriously.”

On the other end, Qiao An stared blankly at the message.

She resisted meeting Lu Mo, but when she thought about how the driver who murdered her had an intimate relationship with the Lu family, Qiao An was eager to investigate the truth. Then she should cherish every opportunity to meet the Lu family.

Qiao An finally typed a message on her phone screen. “Okay.”

Then, Qiao An went to the market counter and bought Lu Mo the latest limited edition LV bag at a high price.

Then she took her bag and found a street tailor’s shop. She handed the tailor a pocket monitor that could record. “Can you sew this into the compartment for me?”

The tailor didn’t know that this bag was worth hundreds of thousands. He took it and removed the original gap. After stuffing the monitor into the compartment, Qiao An said mischievously, “This bag costs 580,000 dollars. It doesn’t look much.”

The tailor’s hands shook in fear. Then, as he sewed, he tried to return to his original state.

Qiao Anxin paid with satisfaction and left with her bag.

At night, Qiao An arrived at the place Lu Mo had specified.

Lu Mo had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Qiao An sat down, Lu Mo said with a ashamed expression, “Qiao An, I’ve embarrassed myself in the morning.”

Jo Ann looked at her steadily, studying her face.

Lu Mo was very sincere and said proudly, “To be honest, An’an, my temper has been out of control recently. I don’t know why either.

My mother said that it was because my Xiaoran was too perfect. When I faced Senior, I was too ashamed of my inferiority and felt that any woman was a threat to me.

And you’re his ex-girlfriend. To men, ex-girlfriends are unforgettable.”

Qiao An looked at Lu Mo quietly. She could feel Lu Mo’s concern for Huo Xiaoran.

“You love him very much,” she said.

Lu Mo nodded. “Ever since I was in university, I was deeply attracted to him the moment I saw him. In the past few years, I know that Senior had a hard time, so I begged my father to help him. To be honest, Senior’s studies and work were all supported by my father.”

Love at first sight had always been fatal.

It was no wonder Huo Xiaoran could not escape.

Qiao An was a very sober girl. She didn’t say anything, and she didn’t fight for what she liked. Because she knew very well that feelings couldn’t be forced at all.

“All these years, I’ve accompanied Senior and watched him fall in love with you…”

Lu Mo suddenly smiled mysteriously. “At that time, he was still very young and didn’t know how to date you at all, right? Every time he bought a gift, he would ask for my opinion.”

Lu Mo tried her best to recall the names of the gifts on the shelf.

“Four Leaf Clovers represent luck. Also, I found those four world classics on the streets…”
