Chapter 70: Trust and Dependence

Although it was just a question, Qin Yuan was curious! Before he came, he had already done a background check on the person Luo Tao was going to give the watch to.

Just as Luo Tao thought, Qin Yuan had nothing to do.

He didn’t need to be in the jewelry store at all times, and he wasn’t needed at his family business either. As soon as he saw Luo Tao, he immediately ran over.

“Sigh, your brother-in-law is really pitiful. He was bullied so badly at school.” Qin Yuan clicked his tongue as he spoke.

The veins on Luo Tao’s forehead were throbbing non-stop. He wanted to kick Qin Yuan away.

“Huo Zhen, where are you going? Wait for me. I’ll go with you to see your brother-in-law.”

“Get lost.” Luo Tao said coldly to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan rubbed his nose and followed behind Luo Tao. Then, he saw a scene that left him dumbstruck.

There were a lot of people in the breakfast shop next to the hospital. Luo Tao squeezed in and ordered porridge and a few side dishes. His familiarity with the scene made Qin Yuan seriously suspect that he wasn’t really Huo Zhen.

He walked to Luo Tao’s side, Qin Yuan pointed at the breakfast in his hand with his eyes wide open. “Huo Zhen, are you that poor now? This is what you eat for breakfast? And you even have to queue up to buy it yourself? Brother, your family is not bankrupt, do you have to do all this?”

Troubled by Qin Yuan, Luo Tao’s tone became even colder. “Qin Yuan, if you say one more word, pack up and go to Africa. Don’t come back until you have stayed for a year.”

“Huo Zhen, you’re being too mean!” Qin Yuan wailed.

“Because you are being annoying.” Luo Tao pushed the door open and walked into Mo Cheng’s ward.

Seeing that the door was tightly shut, Qin Yuan sighed and resigned himself to his fate and left the hospital.

The office of Hong Jing Real Estate Sales Group A was very quiet.

Unlike the clerks who quietly operated the computer every day, the sales office in the sales area was usually noisy from morning to night.

Mo Yan, who was absent-minded, was worried about Mo Cheng’s injury. She did not notice the strange atmosphere in the office and the eyes of her colleagues who pretended to glance at her casually.

As she was sorting out the clients’ information, Mo Yan was thinking about the school violence and accidentally destroyed the information.

She sighed and put the information aside. Mo Yan searched for information about school bullying on the internet.

It would have been better if she hadn’t read it, but when she did, she felt a chill run down her spine. The news was shocking. It was hard to imagine that a child who was still in school could be so evil.

Just when Mo Yan couldn’t help but want to rush back to the hospital, her phone rang. It showed that the caller was Mo Cheng.

Without thinking, Mo Yan took her phone and ran to the stairs in the corridor.

The familiar voice on the other side of the phone made Mo Yan tear up. Her heart that had been uneasy was finally allowed to relax.

Mo Cheng’s voice sounded good and energetic. He said that he would explain the matter to her later that night. Mo Yan also knew that now was not the time to discuss it in detail, so she agreed with Mo Cheng’s words.

After the call ended, Mo Yan still could not control her emotions. She sat on the steps and relaxed for a while.

Fortunately, Mo Cheng was fine, and it did not develop into the terrible situation that was on the news.

Just now, Mo Cheng mentioned on the phone that Luo Tao was the one who enlightened him. She should thank Luo Tao.

“h.e.l.lo.” A pleasant male voice came from the other side of the phone.

“Luo Tao, Mo Cheng called me just now.” As she said this, Mo Yan was silent for a while. She had a feeling that Luo Tao knew her true ident.i.ty. Otherwise, how could he not be curious when she was so concerned about Mo Cheng?

“Yes.” Luo Tao’s voice was as calm as ever.

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Yan still did not voice out her suspicions. If the truth were to come to light, many things would change.

“Thank you for taking care of Mo Cheng for me. Without you, I really don’t know what I would have done.”

Mo Yan’s voice was very gentle, with a faint nasal tone.

Luo Tao glanced at Mo Cheng, who was eavesdropping on his call with a bowl in his hand. He got up and walked out of the ward.

“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do.”

Just as Mo Yan was thinking about how to repay him, Luo Tao spoke again.

“Mo Cheng is fine now. Shouldn’t we talk about our problems?”

“What?” Mo Yan was shocked. Could it be that Luo Tao didn’t ask last night and was waiting for this moment?

Sensing Mo Yan’s panic, Luo Tao chuckled. “Twice.”

“Twice?” Mo Yan was puzzled.

“Yes, twice already. Mo Cheng’s call last night was the second time.”

Mo Yan blinked and instantly reacted. Her pale face turned red instantly.

“You! Mo Cheng is in trouble, why are you still thinking about this?”

Hearing Mo Yan’s voice regain its vitality, Luo Tao looked out of the window with a gentler expression.

“I’m just teasing you. I noticed that you’ve been listless all this time.” After pausing for a few seconds, Luo Tao continued, “Don’t worry, Mo Cheng is fine. Don’t take everything on yourself. Trust me more.”

Luo Tao’s words made Mo Yan suddenly feel a wave of bitterness in her heart, and she felt as if she was about to start crying again.
