Chapter 118: Scheming

From their conversation, Mo Yan roughly pieced together the entire incident. She frowned slightly and politely said to the woman, “I’m sorry, Miss. I apologize to you on her behalf. We will pay for it.”

Regardless of whether this matter was as the woman said, it was a fact that Guoguo had dirtied someone else’s dress. Naturally, she had to bear the responsibility of compensation.

“You’re paying? Do you know how much this gown costs?” The woman asked calmly.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t…” Before Li Guoguo could finish her words, Mo Yan glanced at her.

“No matter how much it costs, we should pay for your gown. Regarding Guoguo’s mistake, I hope you can forgive us.”

The woman looked at Mo Yan for a moment and smiled. “Okay, give me your contact information. I will let you know after the cleaning fee is confirmed.”

The two exchanged contact information and the woman followed the waiter to change her clothes.

It was common for hotels to stock spare clothes in case of incidents like this

After the woman left, Li Guoguo was still crying. Mo Yan didn’t know what to say.

…

“Aiyo! Huo Zhen, you’re finally here. Do you know how Lin Peng looked at sister-in-law just now? Tsk.”

The person who spoke was none other than the Young Master Qin that the woman spoke of, Qin Yuan.

This person still didn’t know how much trouble he had caused. When he called Huo Zhen just now, he saw from the corner of his eye that there was a woman holding a glass of wine that seemed to be coming for him, he waited for the woman to come closer before he dodged her and came to find Huo Zhen.

“Why did Lin Peng notice Mo Yan? Mo Yan went to greet her herself?”

Qin Yuan was sure that when Luo Tao said this, he saw murderous intent in his eyes.

“No, no, no. Why would sister-in-law do that? I think Chen Ya found her and asked her to go. Don’t you know what kind of person Lin Peng is? If Chen Ya wants to get close to the Lin family, the first thing she would think to do is use sister-in-law.”

Seeing that Luo Tao’s expression was getting colder, Qin Yuan quickly shut his mouth.

“Where is Mo Yan?” Luo Tao asked.

Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, “You are going to go look for her? Are you going to come clean? How are you going to explain it to her?”

These three deadly questions Qin Yuan asked in a row made Luo Tao stop. He turned his head and looked at him coldly, “Noisy.”

“Um…”

Qin Yuan silently cried in his heart. Why was he so afraid of Luo Tao?

Luo Tao rushed to the hall anxiously. He did not notice the three people who brushed past him.

Mo Yan was currently patting Li Guoguo on the back to comfort her. However, Li Guoguo’s tears showed no signs of stopping. This made Mo Yan suspicious of the woman’s words. If Li Guoguo really did it on purpose, why would she be crying so badly?

The three of them had no choice but to leave early and take a taxi back to the hotel where they stayed.

In the taxi, Xu Tian sat in the front passenger seat, while Mo Yan and Li Guoguo sat in the back.

Halfway through the journey, Xu Tian suddenly said, “Don’t cry anymore. No one is watching.”

As soon as she said this, Mo Yan’s comforting voice disappeared, and so did Li Guoguo’s crying.

“Li Guoguo, I don’t want to hear your voice anymore. Do you understand?” Xu Tian’s voice was cold and piercing. Mo Yan did not expect Xu Tian to say such harsh words.

“Sister Xu…”

“Mo Yan, don’t plead for her. The three of us know what happened today. Li Guoguo, no one will stop you if you want to climb up. But you have to be clear about your priorities. Tonight was an opportunity for us to get to know the higher-ups of Lin Group. It would have been of great help to us in revising and correcting our plans, but you just had to create trouble at this time. What are you trying to do?”

“Sister Xu… I’m not,” Li Guoguo said in a low voice.

“Ha, Li Guoguo, let me tell you. I’m determined to win this project. You’d better not create any more trouble for me. Otherwise, I really don’t know what I am going to do to you.”

This was the first time Mo Yan saw Xu Tian get angry. She was a little afraid, but more than that, she admired her. Powerful people didn’t need to argue. They just had to bring up facts, and make you reflect on your own mistakes.

This time, Li Guoguo didn’t speak. She just lowered her head. Even Mo Yan couldn’t see her expression clearly.

Mo Yan had just arrived at the hotel when Luo Tao called.
