Chapter 237

Hearing what Xu Wan had said, Mo Yan felt her heart sink.

Xu Wan was right. At that moment, Li Guoguo had stopped Luo Tao in front of the washroom.

“Brother-in-law, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have told you what I heard. I just wanted to show my best self in front of you and sister Mo Yan.”

Li Guoguo raised her head. Her reddened eyes reflected his handsome face, and a pitiful expression was painted on her face.

“Show your best self?” Luo Tao said lightly.

“Yes, yes! Girls always want to show their good side in front of the person they like.”

When Li Guoguo said this, she lowered her head slightly, but it was unclear whether or not her slightly flushed face was intentionally revealed to the man.

“I’m very happy that you like Mo Yan, but I feel that you’re not suitable to trade in the stock market. Don’t interfere casually in something you don’t understand. Otherwise, who knows when you’ll fall into a bottomless abyss.”

After saying this, Luo Tao didn’t give Li Guoguo any chance to defend herself. He turned to the side and left.

“Luo Tao? Why are you alone? Where’s Guoguo?” Mo Yan asked.

“I didn’t see her.” Luo Tao said and wrapped a meat roll with lettuce for Mo Yan.

“I have enough. I’m full!” Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao helplessly.

Luo Tao smiled and said, “Eat more and your arm will recover quickly.”

Li Guoguo was not experienced to begin with. Luo Tao could see through her thoughts at a glance. It was only because she was Mo Yan’s friend that he chose not to embarrass her!

After that, Li Guoguo called Mo Yan and said that she was not feeling well, so she would go back first.

Mo Yan expressed her concern. Seeing that Li Guoguo did not want to say anything more, she did not probe further.

In the following two days, Li Guoguo kept requesting for leave, which made Mo Yan feel a lot better.

…

In Jing City, Huo Yu acted quickly. Within a few days, she convinced her grandfather and the Qin family to agree to their marriage. Then, she flew back to C City to capture Qin Yuan and order him to get married.

Luo Tao had received the news that Huo Yu was coming to C City.

“Brother Huo! You really screwed me up! How are you going to make it up to me?”

Luo Tao came to Qin Yuan’s place that day to listen to the work report. He did not expect that, as soon as he arrived, he would be grabbed by Qin Yuan and have to listen to his complaints.

“Make up for what? It’s your good fortune that my sister is willing to marry you.” Luo Tao said as he typed quickly on the computer.

“Bah! Do you want this good fortune?”

Qin Yuan lay lifelessly on the sofa. He had heard that Huo Yu’s flight was at three o’clock that afternoon. He was going to see that she-devil again.

“I can’t afford it.”

After saying that, Luo Tao directly made a voice call to Wen Ze.

“Is there a problem with the acquisition?”

“Yes, an unknown entity had acquired a lot of scattered stocks some time ago. We only found out recently and are a little jittery about it.”

Luo Tao pondered for a moment. “Don’t make any moves. First, find out who is on the other side.”

“Yes.”

“Regarding Jing City, Second Uncle is certain about making a move against Third Uncle?” Luo Tao asked.

“According to the information we have so far, Second Master has the intention to do so. There is an 80% probability of Second Master being the one behind Soaring’s bankruptcy.”

“What’s the remaining 20%?”

“It’s very well hidden. We haven’t sent people to investigate yet.”

“Yes, we’ll focus on the acquisition. Jing City can be put aside for now.”

“Okay, brother Huo.”

Qin Yuan saw Luo Tao hang up the phone. He sat up straight and said seriously, “Do you still need funds for the acquisition? If so, I still have some over here.”

“No need, it’s not a matter of funds.”

What the other party wanted was still unknown, so they could not attack rashly.

“Alright! If you need it, just let me know.”

Qin Yuan knew that he could not be of much help now, so he did not further trouble him.

“Okay,” Luo Tao answered casually.

Seeing that Luo Tao had started to use words to get a reaction from him again, Qin Yuan rolled his eyes and said, “Huo Zhen, how about this? Since the marriage between the Qin and Huo families is already a reality, why don’t you tell Huo Yu to put off the engagement until you return to Jing City? That would be great.”

Luo Tao glanced at him indifferently. “The date has been confirmed; just because you want to, you can change it just like that? If you dare to mention it, I’m afraid Uncle Qin will skin you alive.”

“That’s why I’m asking you to say it! Just say that I’m ignorant and idle. Wait until I can be managed properly before going ahead with the engagement.”

“Ha! You have an accurate understanding of yourself.”
