Mo Yan stopped wiping the blood off of Luo Tao. Then, she saw Luo Tao look outside and say, “He’s from the village, he’s my… friend.”

As they walked out of the house, they saw that it was indeed Cheng Xiao outside. As soon as he saw Luo Tao coming out, Cheng Xiao shouted, “Oh my God! Did you kill someone? There’s so much blood on you!”

Luo Tao replied helplessly, “No, I just chased them away.”

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air and exclaimed, “It’s over! The uncle of the hooligan boss is an official in the city! They will definitely take revenge on you!”

Then, Mo Yan walked out and looked at Cheng Xiao in confusion.

Cheng Xiao looked at Mo Yan’s appearance and swallowed his saliva. His voice became even sharper as he shouted, “Moreover, seeing that Mo Yan is so pretty, they will definitely not give up so easily!”

Luo Tao frowned and his face darkened.

He was just thinking of sending people to deal with those hooligans privately to avoid any future trouble. He had forgotten about Cheng Xiao.

If something happened to the hooligans after they caused trouble at his house, he would be the number one suspect. Plus, because of Cheng Xiao’s gossiping personality, he would definitely be found out.

Moreover, after this fight, the hooligans who were beaten up would definitely suspect that he wasn’t the real Luo Tao. If word got out, his enemies would also come looking for him.

Thinking of this, Luo Tao was also in a bit of a dilemma.

Seeing Luo Tao’s ugly expression, an idea flashed through Cheng Xiao’s mind, and he quickly said, “I have an idea!”

Mo Yan and Luo Tao looked at him in confusion. Cheng Xiao adjusted his glasses and pretended to be profound, “As long as you two move out of here temporarily, the hooligans won’t be able to find you guys and take revenge!”

After considering it for a while, Luo Tao finally decided to hide in the city with Mo Yan to avoid anymore trouble.

The two of them packed their luggage that night. After hearing that Granny Liu was the one who rushed to inform Luo Tao that she was in danger, Mo Yan insisted on going to her house to thank her.

With a few chickens, ducks, and some fish, meat, and fruits, Mo Yan found Granny Liu and thanked her solemnly.

It was already dark. There was a small oil lamp on the table in front of Granny Liu’s house. Under the dim yellow light, Granny Liu patted Mo Yan’s head kindly and said with a smile, “No worries. I’m glad that I could help you.”

Mo Yan was a little moved. Looking at the old woman’s gentle face, she was moved and said, “Granny Liu, we will be moving to the city tomorrow. Please take good care of yourself.”

Granny Liu looked at Mo Yan carefully and said slowly, “You are a blessed child. You will definitely have a good life in the future. Do your best.”

“Yes, yes!”

After saying goodbye to Granny Liu, Mo Yan called her best friend in the city, Xu Wan.

Xu Wan was her university classmate. The two of them were always together in university. After graduation, Xu Wan stayed in the city to work.

If they were to move to the city, Luo Tao would definitely not have any connections. It was up to Mo Yan to contact her friends.

The moment the call connected, Mo Yan told Xu Wan about what had happened to her in the past few days after she got married. She was furious. “Luo Tao, that scumbag. Why did he not go back to the Mo family house together with you? As a result, you were bullied by Mo Lian. I’m so angry!”

“Calm down, Xu Wan. He has his own problems as well.” Mo Yan smiled and tried to calm her down.

It was not easy to coax her. After Mo Yan asked Xu Wan if she could help her find a house and a job, Xu Wan let out a faint sigh. “Yan Yan, why did you marry such a person? He has no money nor power. Sigh.”

Mo Yan walked all the way to the door of her house. When she saw Luo Tao focused on his work, she curled her lips and said, “He’s pretty great, but he just isn’t lucky. Xu Wan, I’ll leave this matter to you.”.

“Alright, no problem. Luo Tao better make you happy, or I’ll go beat him up!” Xu Wan agreed.

“Okay, bye bye.” Mo Yan hung up the phone and walked into the room.

Soon, Mo Yan received a message from Xu Wan, saying that an affordable rental house had been found, and it was not far from the city center.

After receiving the good news, Mo Yan hurriedly told Luo Tao, saying that they could move in immediately.

“So soon?” Luo Tao was stunned.

He had originally wanted to ask his assistant to pick a house for them, and then think of a good reason for why they were able to live there. He did not expect Mo Yan to settle it in one night.

“Hehe, it’s all thanks to my best friend.” Mo Yan was in a good mood and even stuck her tongue out playfully.

Since it was Mo Yan who picked the house, Luo Tao had no objections. He smiled as he looked at Mo Yan’s yearning expression.
