Chapter 143: Was Right to Choose You

Everything went according to Mo Yan’s expectations. On the day of the meeting, Lin Peng attended the meeting as usual, and they lost the project.

When she left, Mo Yan glanced at Lin Peng. She didn’t expect the Lin family’s young master to also look at her with a vicious gaze, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

Mo Yan frowned, and her gaze shifted to the side of him. Standing there was the sales company that has won the project. Seeing her look at her, the sales representative gave Mo Yan a provocative look, which made Mo Yan feel a little amused.

“Sister Mo Yan, it seems that Chen Ya didn’t come today!”

Mo Yan only remembered her after Li Guoguo reminded her. She had been spending time with Luo Tao these two days and had forgotten about her.

She looked around the entire meeting room and indeed didn’t see Chen Ya.

Mo Yan looked at Xu Tian, and Xu Tian gave her a secret look. The two of them understood each other.

“Maybe she has something going on!” Mo Yan casually said.

Li Guoguo looked at Mo Yan suspiciously, but didn’t say anything in the end.

As for the plan that Lin Ye had mentioned the day before yesterday, Mo Yan hadn’t mentioned it to the two of them. Although she was sure that the previous incident wouldn’t repeat itself if she cooperated with Lin Ye, she didn’t really trust Lin Group.

As too many bad things had happened during this trip to Jing City, Mo Yan only wanted to leave.

After explaining to Luo Tao yesterday, Mo Yan was ready to return to C City. Luo Tao also agreed with her decision. Or rather, even if Mo Yan did not mention it, Luo Tao would also suggest it.

After returning to the hotel, while Li Guoguo was packing, Mo Yan and Xu Tian came to the balcony.

“Sister Xu, do you know the reason why Chen Ya didn’t come today?” Mo Yan asked.

Xu Tian lit a cigarette and took a puff. “I’m not sure, but I saw the police take her away yesterday.”

Xu Tian’s looked conflicted. Although she was mentally prepared, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed when she heard that they did not win the project. She had spent a lot of effort on this project and only wanted to use it to turn things around, but she didn’t win it in the end.

The person in charge of the project did not care about the profits of the project, nor did he care about the feasibility of the project. He only focused on which company could give him women. Ha! Xu Tian suddenly felt that her efforts these past few days were not worth it.

“Chen Ya was taken away by the police? What has she done in the past two days?”

After blowing out a smoke ring, Xu Tian said, “As far as I know, she has been staying in the hotel for the past two days. She should not have caused any trouble.”

“So Chen Ya was also involved in the kidnapping of me.”

“Yes, likely. Otherwise, how did your stepsister get in touch with Lin Peng?”

Actually, Mo Yan had also suspected Chen Ya, but she could not say anything without having any evidence.

After hesitating for a moment, Mo Yan still told her about the project that Lin Ye had given her.

“Are you saying that the boy you saved is also a member of the Lin family?” Xu Tian did not know if it was time to lament the fate between Mo Yan and the Lin family.

Seeing Xu Tian smoking, Mo Yan suddenly wanted to give it a try. Could cigarettes really solve her worries?

“Yes, Lin Ye is Lin Peng’s cousin. He gave the project to me and asked if Hong Jing would accept it.”

Although this project was probably given to her to keep her mouth shut, it was ultimately related to the company’s interests. She could not decide on her own.

“What do you think?” Xu Tian asked.

Mo Yan smiled bitterly and said, “Of course I don’t want it. If I accept it, it means that everything I did previously was in vain and the harm I suffered will be written off. But this is an opportunity to cooperate with Lin Group. It’s related to the development of the company. Even if I’m unwilling, I can’t decide on my own.”

“Moreover, Lin Ye and I have more or less established a friendship. Lin Peng’s matter will not happen again.”

Even though Mo Yan repeatedly emphasized that she and Lin Ye did not owe each other anything, Lin Ye still felt that he owed her a favor.

“Mo Yan, CEO Song was right to choose you.”

Xu Tian said as she passed a cigarette to Mo Yan. She knew that Mo Yan’s heart was bitter.

Mo Yan took the cigarette and didn’t learn to smoke it. She only held it between her fingers and stared into the distance in a daze.

“CEO Song made the right choice in choosing her? But she felt that she shouldn’t have come to Jing City. If she hadn’t come, so much wouldn’t have happened.”

Suddenly, Li Guoguo’s voice sounded from inside the room. “Sister Xu, sister Mo Yan, have you packed your things?”

The two of them looked at each other, and Xu Tian said to Mo Yan, “You said that this project will take some time, so let’s go back to C City first and let CEO Song decide.”

“Okay.”

Mo Yan nodded and slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She could finally go home…
