Chapter 27 - I like you

Qiao Mo stayed in the hospital until around three in the afternoon. Xiao Ru Qing called to ask where the person was.

In the evening, there was a charity dinner to attend.

However, Qiao Mo was not in the mood, "Mom, my dad is sick, I'm taking care of him at the hospital, can I not go tonight?"

Xiao Ru Qing didn't give her any chance to reject, "Tonight's charity banquet is extremely important to our Xiao's. Qiao Mo, as the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, you are doing this because of a little personal matter …"

Qiao Mo closed her eyes slightly, and her tears fell down uncontrollably, "I understand, I'll go home right now."

She no longer wanted to listen to those harsh words, so she hung up the phone and wiped away her tears. She held Qiao Sheng's hand and said softly to the unconscious Qiao Sheng: "Father, I'll come to see you later."

In her heart, there was a large stone pressing down, causing her to gasp for breath.

Qiao Sheng's one million RMB operation fee was a difficult problem.

After returning to the Xiao Family Villa, Qiao Mo went upstairs to change into the qipao that Xiao Yan had ordered for her again.

After she changed into her qipao and went downstairs, a look of astonishment flashed across Xiao Ru Qing's eyes.

Wasn't this qipao torn by Su Mo?

"Qiao Mo, it seems that I have always been underestimating you."

Qiao Mo was in a very bad mood as she said indifferently, "I actually have never been able to understand what it means for Mom to watch me and Su Hua steal a qipao."

"I just want to see if our Xiao family's daughter-in-law will lose to a nobody."

Xiao Ru Qing's words belittled Su Painting and raised Qiao Mo up secretly. Qiao Mo also understood that Xiao Ru Qing wasn't praising her, but was praising the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.

It seemed that Xiao Ru Qing really hated that Su Painting.

Xiao Ru Qing's picky gaze looked from her hair to her toes, as if she was just barely satisfied with the result. "You're still quite satisfactory. Let's go."

was already overwhelmed by the favor that came from Xiao Ru Qing's mouth, for her to be able to say something like "barely satisfactory".

"Where's Xiao Yan?"

Qiao Mo asked suspiciously.

"Xiao Yan has left early."

Qiao Mo was actually a little surprised. Before this, she had kept this matter of their relationship public and never let it go. Last night, he had clearly not agreed to let this charity dinner public his relationship.

"What are you thinking about?"

Qiao Mo frowned: "I was just thinking why would Xiao Yan suddenly change his mind?"

Although Qiao Mo didn't know much about Xiao Yan, but with his shallow understanding, Xiao Yan was the kind of person who decided not to change his mind easily.

Moreover, Xiao Ru Qing and Xiao Yan, this mother and son pair, had always been at odds.

Xiao Ru Qing seemed to have seen through her thoughts and snorted coldly, "You don't need to understand why Xiao Yan changed his mind. You only need to cooperate with me."

Qiao Mo had already gotten used to Xiao Ru Qing's domineering tone. It was as if they were the same mother and son.

The Hilton Hotel's charity banquet had just begun. There were people dressed in all kinds of suits and shoes in the upper class. There were also many rich and powerful families who wore expensive jewelry and elegant dresses.

Qiao Mo was dressed in a simple and elegant qipao, which was very eye-catching because during the banquet, most of the renowned women were dressed in light dresses. Only she, who accompanied Xiao Ru Qing into the arena, attracted the gazes of everyone around.

On this occasion, Qiao Mo had a fresh face.

But because she was a stranger, she added to her mysteriousness. Being able to accompany Chairman Xiao and attend such an important event, it was extremely possible that she would become the future daughter-in-law of the Xiao's.

Xiao Ru Qing found Xiao Yan in the venue and patted on Qiao Mo's arm, "Xiao Yan is over there. I saw an old friend there, go look for Xiao Yan."

Qiao Mo nodded her head, passing through the crowd, just as she was about to go to Xiao Yan's place, she was stopped by a cup of red wine.

"Miss, here's your red wine."

Qiao Mo looked towards the direction of the voice. The handsome man was smiling like a gentleman, openly striking up a conversation with her.

Qiao Mo pursed her lips and refused: "Sorry, I don't drink."

With that said, Qiao Mo walked around the man and towards the side.

Unexpectedly, this man was a little difficult to deal with. He called out to her, "Miss, can't you tell that I'm interested in you?"

Qiao Mo heard and laughed: "You're interested in me, so I should accept your red wine?"

How can a man of high society be so arrogant?

The man was a little embarrassed from Qiao Mo's provocation, and his face looked bad, so he asked in anger, "What are you pretending to be arrogant for? Which family's daughter? You don't know the rules? "

Qiao Mo was originally in a bad mood, but she was still worrying about Qiao Sheng in her heart, unable to vent the grievances she had suffered in the past few days. Now that someone had lit the fuse, she did not spare anyone with her words, "Sir, do you not understand the rules, or do I not understand? Who said that if you were interested in me, I would give you a reply? Besides, wouldn't it be frivolous to say such words to a girl she had just met? I'm not as open-minded as this gentleman. "

Both openly and covertly, they were all accusing this man of being frivolous.

That man was not a pushover. Seeing that Qiao Mo was about to turn around and leave, he grabbed her slender wrist and asked, "Stupid girl, who did you say was being frivolous?"

No matter how strong Qiao Mo's words were, she was still just a girl, how could her strength be as strong as a man's? She frowned as she struggled, and angrily said: "Let go of me! "Bastard!"

With one hand tied up, Qiao Mo snatched the red wine in his hand with the other. Her anger rose and her brain short-circuited as she ruthlessly threw a cup of red wine at the man's face.

The man was so angry that he grabbed Qiao Mo's wrist and was about to drag her out, "Stupid girl, if I don't teach you a lesson today, it seems like you don't know just how powerful I am!"

Just as Qiao Mo was panicking, a cold voice came from behind him

"I didn't expect the Young Master Qiao to be interested in married women."

Hearing this, the man who was called "Young Master Qiao" and Qiao Mo both turned to look at the same time …

The man was dressed in a black suit and stood under the crystal lamp. The light enveloped him, making his facial features seem even more enchanting. In the noisy venue, his aura seemed even more solemn and forbidding.

When Qiao Mo saw him, she immediately frowned. When Young Master Qiao did not react, she fiercely bit the back of his hand, flung his hand off and ran to Xiao Yan's back, her beautiful eyes filled with anger and hatred staring at him.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Qiao Mo's bite was not light, and almost bit off a piece of meat from the back of Young Master Qiao's hand.

"How dare you bite me!" "Look at me..."

Young Master Qiao rushed over and reached out to grab Qiao Mo.

Qiao Mo slipped into Xiao Yan's embrace. When Young Master Qiao's hand made contact with Xiao Yan's black eyes, his hand stopped.

Xiao Yan protected the little person in his arms, her voice cold and terrifying, "Young Master Qiao is interested in Mrs. Xiao?"

When the Young Master Qiao heard that, he was shocked, "What did you say? This bastard … Is she your wife? "

Not only was Young Master Qiao shocked, even Qiao Mo, who was in Xiao Yan's embrace, was stunned.

Xiao Yan actually admitted publicly that she was his wife?

Qiao Mo raised her small face in his embrace and stared at Xiao Yan's chin with a puzzled expression.

Why did he suddenly change his mind?

"Since you're a woman from President Xiao, then I don't dare to covet you. It's just a misunderstanding, I hope that the President Xiao will not remember this lowly person." The corner of his mouth curled into an unwilling cold smile as he stroked the back of his hand where Qiao Mo had bitten him.

Once Young Master Qiao finished, he grabbed his pockets and said cleverly: "If there is nothing else, I will be leaving first!"

Young Master Qiao turned around, and Xiao Yan began to speak indifferently: "Who said Young Master Qiao can leave?"

The shoulder of the man who had done something shaky shook, and due to Xiao Yan's pressure, he had no choice but to turn around and smile obsequiously. "President Xiao, do you have any other orders?"

Xiao Yan's black eyes were deep and profound, he glanced at the little girl in his embrace, then covered her ears with her lips, her voice was just loud enough for Young Master Qiao to hear, "Are you shocked? Hm? I won't let go of the person who bullied you easily. "

Qiao Mo heard the gentle voice, but she felt her entire body tremble. It could not be considered gentleness, it was just a dormant beast, using a gentle coat, releasing its true cold.

After the Young Master Qiao heard this, he immediately went up to Qiao Mo and begged him, "Mrs. Xiao, I have offended you just now, please do not take it to heart!"

Qiao Mo looked at him coldly, "Didn't Young Master Qiao just call me a dead girl? At the moment, I can't afford your apology. "

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, "Since Mrs. Xiao does not accept Young Master Qiao's apology, then I think that Xiao's and Madam Qiao's recent collaboration should be forgone. After all, Madam's feelings are the most important."

Qiao Mo never thought that Xiao Yan would involve himself with business matters because of her.

Before she could stop him, Xiao Yan had already pulled her hand and turned around, leaving the center of the venue and heading towards the open-air balcony of the side hall.

"You don't need to do this, for the sake of not doing business with Mrs. Qiao …"

If that was the case, would the Xiao's suffer a loss?

Xiao Yan lazily leaned on the railings and glanced at Qiao Mo coldly, "Do you really think that I would lose my business because of you?"

Qiao Mo was startled, she did not understand what he meant.

"It's never been the best idea to work with Mrs. Qiao. Now, I have an excuse to cancel the contract with them, so it won't end up in the mouth of others."

Qiao Mo: "..."

She had turned into a bloody knife.

Qiao Mo also faintly leaned on his side, reached out, took the red wine in his hand, and gulped down a large mouthful.

Xiao Yan looked at her playfully: "Didn't you just say you don't drink?"

"In your society, each one of you is more trash than the other. That Young Master Qiao from before, he even has the same surname as me. How embarrassing."

Qiao Mo turned around, supporting herself with her hands on the railings and her chin on her arm. Looking at the area of Jiang Feng fishing fires and the myriad of lights below, he said in a dejected tone, "Today, I want to drink."

Xiao Yan leaned his back against the railing, and slightly turned his head to look at her lonely profile, "What, you lack money?"

After Qiao Mo heard these simple and crude words, she tilted her head and laughed at him. Then she asked him a question that was half true, half false, "How do you know?"

"Didn't you listen obediently for the sake of money?"

Qiao Mo looked at him mournfully, "You really have no feelings for me, so if I want money, would you pay me?"

Xiao Yan straightened his body, moving closer to her little face which had turned scarlet from the alcohol. He said each word carefully, as if he was joking, as if he was being serious.

Then, he took the wine cup in her hand, stared at her misty eyes, and drank the rest of her wine.

The night wind blew Qiao Mo, who had a cold, into her nose. The corners of her eyes were slightly red.

Just as she was in a daze, her shoulders suddenly felt a weight. She looked over, and saw that Xiao Yan had already buckled his suit jacket over her shoulders.

Qiao Mo was a little absent-minded, but Xiao Yan reached out to hug her, "Go in."

Qiao Mo reached out and grabbed his large palm, "Xiao Yan, I like you."
