Substitute Bride’s Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man Novel - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Dilemma

During the meal, Mo Yan reported her ‘glorious’ battle results to Luo Tao.

She mainly talked about how she had suppressed Chen Ya throughout the entire conversation, not giving her a chance to defend herself.

Luo Tao replied very quickly and sent Mo Yan an encouraging emoji. It was a picture of a little boy clenching his fist and cheering.

Mo Yan did not expect Luo Tao to send such a cute message and could not help but laugh out loud.

Xu Wan stole a glance and snorted at Mo Yan with her nose, causing Mo Yan to look at her with a puzzled expression.

“Don’t you get tired of sending messages to your husband all day long?”

Seeing that Xu Wan had started to be jealous of Luo Tao again, Mo Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“I just sent him a message.”

“A girl who who forgets her friends when she has a man. What an unreliable girl. Qiao Li, you’re still the best, Qiao Li! When you have a partner, you can’t abandon me.”

Looking at the playful Xu Wan, Qiao Li burst into laughter and said, “Okay.”.

Mo Yan put down her phone and picked up her chopsticks. During this time, she did not forget to pay attention to the jade bracelet.

She was a little regretful that she had brought the bracelet to the company. She had to look at it for the rest of the day, afraid that it would break.

Only then did Xu Wan notice Mo Yan’s careful movements. When she looked at the bracelet again, her eyes could not help but widen.

“Mo Yan, where did you get such a good jade bracelet! Did you win the lottery? Or did it fall from the sky?”

Before Xu Wan could finish exclaiming in surprise, Mo Yan had already given her goosebumps. She would have never thought that Mo Yan had bought it. After all, Mo Yan had borrowed 2,000 yuan from her the day before yesterday.

“I didn’t win the lottery. I didn’t pick it up for free. Luo Tao gave it to me when we got married.”

Stroking the jade bracelet, Mo Yan revealed a gentle smile.

Her mother was sick, and Mo Cheng was studying. Before Luo Tao appeared, she was struggling to support them and herself. However, after Luo Tao entered her life, she felt homely again. Their home was a harbor where she could rest and dock.

“Luo Tao gave it to you?” These words shocked Xu Wan even more than if Mo Yan were to tell her that she had won the lottery.

No one knew better than her, who was Mo Yan’s good friend, what kind of person Luo Tao was. That hooligan actually had the money to buy such a bracelet for Mo Yan? Then why was he letting Mo Yan be the sole breadwinner for them?

After thinking for a while, Xu Wan asked, “He gave it to you when you got married? A family heirloom?”

Mo Yan shook her head to show that she did not know. When Luo Tao gave it to her, he did not specifically mention the source of the bracelet, but she assumed that it was probably a family heirloom.

Qiao Li also held Mo Yan’s wrist and looked at it. Perhaps it was because she had some knowledge of jade. After touching it a few times, Qiao Li said to Mo Yan, “This bracelet is very precious. You have to treasure it well.”

Mo Yan smiled and nodded. To her, the price of the bracelet was not important. It was just like the first time she went to a jewelry store. Even though she was in urgent need of money, she did not sell it. Perhaps she had subconsciously felt that this bracelet had an extraordinary meaning to her.

It was not just a piece of merchandise, but a tie between her and Luo Tao.

When she returned to the office in the afternoon, her colleagues informed her to make a trip to Chen Ya’s office.

Now, Mo Yan was not afraid anymore. She had just finished arguing with Chen Ya in the morning. If anything happened in the afternoon, Chen Ya’s reputation would be completely ruined.

Once she arrived at the office, Mo Yan thought that Chen Ya was very strange because she was smiling too warmly at her, so warmly that her neck was full of goosebumps.

Although there was a middle-aged man in the office, Mo Yan still stood at the door vigilantly and said, “May I ask why you are looking for me?”

“Come closer.” Chen Ya did not seem to notice Mo Yan’s repulsion and called her in.

“Mo Yan! This is General Manager Wang of Hongye Company, representing Hongye Company to discuss a business deal with us. Just now, we were talking about gold and jade. General Manager Wang is very knowledgeable about this. I would like to ask him to help check if your bracelet is real or fake. After all, you are Zhou Shuai’s junior. I don’t want you to be deceived.”

Seeing that Chen Ya was interested in her bracelet again, Mo Yan wanted to slap Chen Ya to death on the wall like swatting a fly.

Mo Yan did not believe the identity of this person, but she did not know what reason she could use to refuse.

If this person was really not someone Chen Ya had hired to put on an act, and was just a client of the company, if she rejected this small request and caused the loss of this client, it was likely that even CEO Song would not protect her.

While Mo Yan was hesitating, the middle-aged man opened his mouth, “Mrs. Mo, can I borrow your jade bracelet to take a look?”
