However, Huo Xiaoran’s handsome face was gloomy, and he looked troubled.
At this moment, the staff walked over. Lu Mo hurriedly held Huo Xiaoran’s arm and said arrogantly to the staff, “Take out your best wedding dress.”
The staff glanced at Huo Xiaoran and nodded.
A moment later, the waiter came out with a diamond wedding dress. “Sir, miss, this is the most expensive wedding dress we have. It’s worth a billion.”
It was obvious that the wedding dress was the treasure of the shop. The diamonds on the chest were extremely huge. Although it looked dazzling, it might not be comfortable to wear. It was just a bold promotion by the Four Leaf Clover.
Lu Mo’s eyes lit up when she saw the diamonds on it. “I like this one.”
The staff tried not to laugh.
Huo Xiaoran frowned. It was not that Lu Mo’s greed made him unhappy, but he felt ashamed of his intelligence from before. Why didn’t he realize that Lu Mo was such a vain woman?
Lu Mo saw Huo Xiaoran’s cold expression and said tactfully, “Forget it, it’s too expensive. Change it.”
Huo Xiaoran sat in the resting area beside her in boredom, while Lu Mo followed the staff in to try on the wedding dress.
She tried one wedding dress after anotherl. However, she insisted on asking for Huo Xiaoran’s opinion. “Senior, do you think this one looks good or that one?”
Huo Xiaoran pretended to be serious, but his words pierced Lu Mo’s heart.
“Yes, not bad. Unfortunately, you don’t have hair. Your wig and wedding dress don’t match.” Huo Xiaoran rarely had a sharp tongue, so Lu Mo didn’t realize that he was mocking her.
Huo Xiaoran mocked her ugly heart for not being worthy of marriage.
Unfortunately, Lu Mo didn’t understand.
Although she did not realize that this was Huo Xiaoran’s sarcasm towards her, Huo Xiaoran’s words still poured on her like ice water.
She wanted to be the most beautiful first socialite, but because of the wig, she instantly felt inferior. She thought of the guests laughing at her wig below on her wedding day. Where would she put her face?
Her enthusiasm for choosing a wedding dress was gone. In the end, she chose a wedding dress worth 180 million dollars.
Huo Xiaoran looked at the jade jewelry and diamonds on the wedding dress. The opulence made him feel a little suffocated.
It was too ugly. It stank of money.
He told himself that he’d only let Qiao An wear a light wedding dress.
Realizing that his thoughts had been interrupted, Huo Xiaoran smiled.
After leaving the wedding dress shop, Huo Xiaoran rejected Lu Mo’s invitation to lunch on the grounds that he was busy with work.
Lu Mo was very disappointed. She looked at Huo Xiaoran pitifully. “Senior, we’re getting married. Shouldn’t you spend more time with me? I hope we can still go on a trip after we get married.”
After the wedding?’
Huo Xiaoran was already fully booked after the wedding. He was going to woo Qiao An back. He was going to build a beautiful manor for Qiao An and the children. He was going to take Qiao An around the various countries…
Lu Mo was no longer in his life plans.
He looked at Lu Mo coldly. “Momo, I might not be able to travel with you.” After he finished speaking, the driver drove over.
He got into the car and left Lu Mo behind.
Lu Mo was completely dumbfounded.
Did he leave his fiancée on the streets? How could there be such a careless man like him?
Or was he very busy indeed?
Lu Mo was raised like a pampered princess. When had she ever suffered such grievances? She was like an abandoned puppy, crying all the way home.
When she got home, she plunged into Mrs. Lu’s arms and cried sadly. “Mom, Huo Xiaoran bullied me.”
Mrs. Lu was busy packing her things. She still wanted to visit Li Changhai in prison later. When she heard her daughter crying, she looked a little impatient.
“How did he bully you?” In her opinion, a gentle gentleman like Huo Xiaoran would never bully a weak woman.
Lu Mo looked up with a teary face and cried, “We went to buy a wedding dress. He complained that my wig didn’t look good. Boohoo.”
Lu Mo looked at her daughter’s wig. She had spent a lot of money to buy that wig. It had already reached the point of being fake.
However, a powerful person like Huo Xiaoran was not an ordinary man. He definitely had to use the best things. It was normal for him to dislike Lu Mo’s wig. After all, the Lu family’s financial resources were limited.
“What’s there to be sad about? After you get married, you can spend his money to buy a few more wigs.”
Lu Mo continued, “When he left, he even left me alone at the entrance of the bridal shop.”
Mrs. Lu was dumbfounded.
“Could he have encountered an emergency?”
Lu Mo said, “I think he did it on purpose.”
Mrs. Lu held her hand and said earnestly, “Momo, your wedding is about to begin. Whether he loves you or not, as long as you marry him, he will never treat you badly.”
Lu Mo cried, “But he doesn’t love me anymore. Mom, I can feel that his heart is pulling away from me inch by inch.”
Mrs. Lu said happily, “In any case, after you get married, you’ll be Mrs. Huo. Even if he doesn’t love you, you’ll be the top socialite. When the time comes, thousands of people will envy you. Your life won’t be very bad.”
At this point, Mrs. Lu pulled Lu Mo up and said, “Alright, alright. Go wash up and accompany me to the prison. We’ll visit your Uncle Li.”
Lu Mo said angrily, “I’m not going. That old man was sentenced to ten years in prison. Anyway, he’s no longer of any use.”
At her words, Mrs. Lu slapped Lu Mo hard. Lu Mo covered her face and looked at Mrs. Lu in shock. “Mom, you actually hit me for his sake?”
Mrs. Lu said ferociously, “He can make you succeed or subvert you at any time.”
Lu Mo looked satisfied. Only then did she say obediently, “Sure.”
When Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo arrived at the prison, they did not expect things to change. They could no longer see the lively Li Changhai. Through the small wound, they saw Li Changhai as a man covered in fear, trembling, and whimpering in excitement.
It was like an injured animal being trapped in a predicament. It struggled desperately, but the more it struggled, the more desperate it became.
Mrs. Lu exclaimed, “Changhai, what happened to you?”
Lu Mo was so frightened that she hid behind her mother.
Li Changhai whimpered and gestured excitedly, but Mother Lu did not understand his intentions at all.
He wanted to stop Lu Mo from getting married. He wanted to stop Huo Xiaoran from taking revenge on Lu Mo, but he was mute and could not speak.
Not only was he mute, but he also had many wounds from the torture of the prisoners on the deathrow. He realized that he was going to be beaten to death by them soon, and he knew that it was definitely Huo Xiaoran’s doing, but he could not speak.
