“Uh…” Mo Yan choked on his question. She didn’t want to hurt his self esteem, so she quickly replied, “Of course not.”

Only then did Luo Tao turn his head in satisfaction and continue to look at his phone seriously.

Mo Yan roughly glanced at what Luo Tao was looking at. It was a business news report from an external network. After hesitating for a while, she couldn’t help but ask, “Luo Tao, what are you looking at? Tell me about it.”

To be honest, she still didn’t believe that the well-known local hooligan in the village, Luo Tao, could understand the English news report from the Internet.

“Ahem…”

Luo Tao coughed lightly and then read the complete translation of the original report.

Looking at Mo Yan’s wide-opened eyes, Luo Hui couldn’t help but chuckle, “Very surprised?”

His laughter was very pleasant to hear. Mo Yan nodded blankly and said honestly, “Yes…”

“Aren’t you worried that I’m just making it up?” Luo Tao returned to his expressionless face after a moment and said lightly.

“No, I’ve checked. You’re right!” Mo Yan quickly waved her hand. Being stared at by Luo Tao’s inquisitive gaze, she touched her nose in embarra.s.sment.

Being seen through by him on the spot when she wanted to test him was too embarra.s.sing.

As she spoke, Mo Yan hurriedly walked into the bedroom. Just then, her phone rang, giving her an excuse to ease the awkward atmosphere. “Take your time. I’m going in first.”

When she picked up her phone and saw the caller ID, her expression changed.

It was actually her stepsister, Mo Lian, calling. What did she want?

Mo Yan had nothing to say to Mo Lian. Ever since she was humiliated during her last visit to the Mo family house, she had become even more disgusted with her stepsister. However, when she thought about how the Mo family had just helped pay for her mother’s medical expenses, she gritted her teeth and picked up the call

Unexpectedly, the moment she picked up the call, Mo Lian’s sharp curses could be heard. “Mo Yan, you scheming, shameless b.i.t.c.h!”

Mo Yan was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered the volume of her phone. Then, she quickly stuck her head out to take a look outside. Luo Tao was sitting upright and focused on his phone. He did not seem to be disturbed.

Only then did she let out a sigh of relief. Mo Yan put her phone close to her ear, Mo Lian was still scolding her, “You hooked up with the young master of the Qin family? How dare you lie to him and ask him to threaten our family! I should have known that you are the same kind of person as your mother! Both of you are lascivious women!”

Mo Yan frowned and lowered her voice, “Mo Lian, what are you going crazy about?”

“Ha, I’m crazy? Look at what you’ve done! Didn’t you ask Qin Yuan to stop father’s land purchase just to force father to give you a dowry? Now, we have lost at least 30 million yuan just to purchase the land! And we have no choice but to follow Qin Yuan’s instructions to save your mother. What right do you have? You’re a piece of trash who married a pauper. Who are you to gain Qin Yuan’s favor!”

“Mo Lian, what are you talking about. I don’t know anything about the land purchase or the Qin family.” Mo Yan’s eyes were cold as she spoke word by word.

“Why are still pretending? Do you think that I don’t know what you’re planning? Aren’t you trying to get in the Qin family’s good graces so you can leave that pauper? Let me tell you, a person like you will never marry into the Qin family! You’d better stay in the small mountain village with that ruffian, Luo Tao, for the rest of your life…”

Mo Yan couldn’t stand listening to Mo Lian’s incoherent screams and curses, so she just hung up the phone.

When she walked out of the bedroom, Mo Yan’s face was darkened, while Luo Tao was still quietly browsing the news and reports on his phone without raising his head.

Mo Yan said softly, “I’m going out to get some fresh air.”

Then, she opened the door and walked out. She walked aimlessly all the way to the river where she usually washed their clothes. There, she sat down on a big rock.

At this moment, the warm sunlight shone on her body, but she only felt a chill all over her body.

According to Mo Lian, the Mo family did not voluntarily pay for her mother’s medical fees. Instead, they were forced to do so because they were under some kind of coercion.

The source of Mo Lian’s anger was the man she mentioned, Qin Yuan.

“Qin Yuan…” Mo Yan muttered the name and a thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

Was the young boss she met at the jewelry store called Qin Yuan?

Realizing this, she still could not understand. Even if the person who helped her was the young boss at the jewelry store, they had only met once. Why would he help her?
