“What’s going on?” Luo Tao looked at the empty room and frowned.
“She just brought the bracelet I gave you and came to my jewelry store to pawn it for money. Sigh, how are you doing? Your wife has no money and now she has to sell jewelry. It’s really sad.”
“Get to the point, how much did she sell it for?” Luo Tao’s eyes were dark.
“Huo Zhen, don’t you have anything to say?”
Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and deliberately provoked him, “That’s the Jade bracelet you gave her as a marriage present! She wants to secretly sell it for money. Aren’t you angry?”
Luo Tao said coldly, “Since I’ve already given it to her, it’s her’s. What does it have to do with me if she sells it?”
On the other end of the phone, Qin Yuan took off the silk gloves. He could almost imagine Huo Zhen’s ice-cold face at this moment. He said with mixed feelings, “I bid 1.5 million yuan at the end. How’s that? Does that show my loyalty to you?”
1.5 million yuan? Wouldn’t that be enough to treat Mo Yan’s mother’s illness? There would still be some money left!
Luo Tao gripped the phone tightly, his chin taut.
Immediately after, Qin Yuan’s tone changed. The corners of his mouth curled up and he raised his voice, “Fourth Master Huo, guess what? She refused to sell it and took the bracelet back!”
Seeing that Huo Zhen didn’t say anything, Qin Yuan continued to speak, “Huo Zhen, oh Huo Zhen, I think your wife is quite interesting. I thought she needed money, so I specially wanted to buy the Jade bracelet for a high price, 1.5 million yuan. She was shocked by the amount of money, but I didn’t expect her to not sell it!”
On the other end of the phone, Qin Yuan was still chattering. Luo Tao’s emotions were unusually complicated at the moment.
He did not expect that Mo Yan would actually give up the 1.5 million yuan that was within her grasp and choose to keep the bracelet that he gave her. Such innocence and sincerity…
What about her dying mother’s medical fees and her younger brother’s tuition fees? He should be going to school at his age.
Thinking of this, Luo Tao pitied Mo Yan. She clearly had many difficulties and grievances, yet she was still shouldering it all by herself.
She was really stupid… and heartbreaking at the same time!
Luo Tao stretched his muscles, and he became determined.
Since his wife had secretly given up so much for him, then he should also do something that a husband should do!
First, he had to teach those traitorous and heartless members of the Mo family a good lesson!
“Qin Yuan, listen up. These few days, the Mo family will be busy buying land. Help me stop them, don’t let them succeed!”
Luo Tao’s voice sank and he added, “Also, I will use your name to try to target Mo family’s business everywhere and ruin their lives!”
“Alright! This is an easy task for me, Huo Zhen. You can rest assured! I will definitely complete this task well!” Qin Yuan smiled and patted his chest proudly.
“Wait, I have another task for you…” Luo Tao’s voice slowed down, and his expression showed a rare gentleness, he said, “Her mother and brother are currently in the hospital. I have to pretend I don’t know right now. Please take good care of them for me.”
Not long after hanging up the phone, Mo Yan returned to the brick house and met up with Luo Tao, who was doing push-ups in the yard.
Mo Yan looked embarrassed and wanted to cover the wooden box in her hand with her body, but she found that Luo Tao only glanced at her indifferently and then continued to bury himself in his workout.
Relieved, a faint smile appeared on Mo Yan’s face. She entered the house and put away the Jade bracelet, then walked out and squatted beside Luo Tao, who was doing push-ups. She asked gently, “I went into the city to buy some cooking ingredients. What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
Luo Tao paused for a moment, then turned to look at her. He noticed that Mo Yan was looking at him with a gentle expression. He could not help but feel his heart skip a beat. A strange, slightly palpitating feeling came over him again, and he immediately said stiffly, “Anything is fine.”
“I see.” Mo Yan rubbed her chin and frowned for a moment. It seemed that Luo Tao did not mind eating anything. He had always been very easy-going. She could only take the initiative to ask him more.
“Then, gong bao chicken or braised pork ribs, you choose one.” Mo Yan asked persistently.
Luo Tao lowered his eyes and thought seriously. Then he nodded and said, “Then, braised pork ribs.”
