Chapter 134: Plot

“Sister-in-law, you’re good!” Qin Yuan sighed as he sat in front of the surveillance camera.

Du Jing was also stunned. He had only met Mo Yan once. At that time, he thought that Mo Yan was a polite and dedicated beauty. He did not expect her to have such a side to her.

Luo Tao’s gaze fell on the person who was pretending to be asleep on the table. His eyes were filled with gentleness.

Because the Grand Court Hotel was the Huo family’s property, the few of them easily entered the surveillance room.

The Grand Court Hotel only had surveillance cameras in the corridors, dining halls, and private rooms. The surveillance cameras in the private rooms were usually turned off. Because the Grand Court Hotel was well-organized in terms of personal privacy, many people of high statuses were willing to come here to discuss matters. However, today was an exception.

After Luo Tao confirmed the private room number where Mo Yan was from the surveillance camera, he asked someone to turn on the surveillance camera in the private room.

As soon as he turned on the surveillance camera, he heard Mo Lian say, “You said that I’m an illegitimate daughter. Your younger brother is not legitimate either. Not only is he an illegitimate child, he’s also an illegitimate child from God knows where.”

Luo Tao’s eyes darkened. Qin Yuan raised the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows. Du Jing, on the other hand, was expressionless. Qin Yuan seized the opportunity to take a few photos.

Looking at Mo Yan, who was lying on the table, Luo Tao felt as if his heart had been ruthlessly scratched by someone.

Mo Lian’s subsequent complaints made the three people sitting in front of the monitor look even more annoyed. Luo Tao’s gaze remained on Mo Yan. Qin Yuan’s expression was strange and his eyes revealed some mockery. Du Jing’s eyes were like those of a bystander.

“So all illegitimate children live like this! That’s pretty good.” Du Jing took a sip of coffee and watched with relish.

Qin Yuan glanced at him indifferently, the moment he opened his mouth, he exposed Mo Lian. “What are you saying! This woman is very skilled in making up stories. Although I haven’t investigated the Mo family in detail, according to what I know, this woman’s mother has always been by Mo Dong’s side. She never lived away from her father.”

Du Jing’s eyes widened. “Then would Miss Mo believe what she said?”

Qin Yuan glanced at Luo Tao and then turned his gaze to the surveillance camera. Mo Yan’s complicated expression indicated that she might really believe it.

“Then why did they get divorced later?” The three of them heard Mo Yan ask this question.

Qin Yuan was also curious about this question. Although he was sure that 90% of what Mo Lian said was false, she probably would not lie about the reason for the divorce. After all, Mo Yan’s mother did not cry incessantly after the divorce and did not ask for a share of Mo Dong’s property.

“Why? I just said the reason! Your younger brother, Mo Cheng, he is not Dad’s child. He is the result from your mother’s affair with someone else!”

As soon as Mo Lian finished speaking, Luo Tao saw Mo Yan’s shocked eyes.

In an instant, he did not care about anything else and wanted to immediately rush over to hug this woman who made his heart ache.

As soon as Mo Lian said this, Luo Tao’s face turned cold, causing Qin Yuan and Du Jing to look over frequently.

It was not until Mo Lian went out to fetch the flowers that the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

Qin Yuan mustered up his courage and said, “Well, brother Huo, we all know that what this person said is all fake. There’s no need to be angry.”

Luo Tao stared at the surveillance camera without answering. Qin Yuan followed his line of sight and happened to see Mo Yan, who was still in a daze, quickly stand up, pick up the red wine and walk to Mo Lian’s seat.

In the video, Mo Yan quickly switched all the cutlery between the two of them, muttering to herself.

“Do you think I’m an idiot? Why would I fall into a trap again after being tricked before? I’m afraid I’m not a fool. Do you think I’ll believe your nonsense? Ha, she really thought that I didn’t see her eye the wine. We aren’t friends. Did she think I would show up unprepared?”

Qin Yuan swallowed his saliva and shouted, “Damn! Sister-in-law is just pretending! Her acting skills are really good!”

Du Jing probably didn’t expect such a reversal. He held the coffee cup in his hand for a long time, stunned.

The coldness in Luo Tao’s body gradually dissipated. He looked at the busy Mo Yan with a smile in his eyes.

If she wanted to survive in the Huo clan, she needed to have the ability to protect herself. Although he would do his best to protect her, accidents were not something that could be controlled. She needed to always be on guard and not be easily deceived by others.

After muttering a few words, Mo Yan seemed to have thought of something, and her hands stopped moving. After a few seconds, she finally swapped the last two pairs of chopsticks.

Luo Tao was very proud of Mo Yan.

“So that bouquet of flowers was sent by Miss Mo?”

Without giving Luo Tao any time to think, Du Jing asked.

As he spoke, Du Jing even took a sip of coffee to calm himself down.

Qin Yuan thought of Mo Yan’s series of actions and answered, “Likely. Why else would someone send Mo Lian flowers at such a time?”
