Lu Mo was extremely shocked because Huo Xiaoran had always been warm to her in the past, but now she felt that Huo Xiaoran was unwilling to talk to her. If he had to communicate with her, his tone hinted at alienation and coldness.
“Senior, hasn’t Zecheng always respected you, his uncle? The Li family’s bloodline flows in your bodies. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to beat him up like this?”
Huo Xiaoran’s eyes instantly turned cold as he glared at Lu Mo, making her so frightened that she quickly fell silent.
Huo Xiaoran said gloomily, “If it were Qiao An, she wouldn’t have said such nonsense.”
Lu Mo felt as if there was lump that was stuck in her throat. She had never imagined how Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An would be like when they were together. Today, she suddenly heard Huo Xiaoran mention his relationship with Qiao A, whom he had pined for over so many years.
Lu Mo couldn’t help but probed him curiously, “If you have a estrangement and conflict with your family, Qiao An will definitely persuade you to reconcile with them the way I did. Because only after that will you really feel comfortable.”
Huo Xiaoran said coldly, “No, Qiao An never goes against my wishes. On the contrary, she will definitely stand on my side at all times and share my hatred.”
“But what if you’re wrong?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Lu Mo incredulously. “How would you know if I’m wrong?”
Lu Mo trembled slightly at his cold aura. For a moment, she felt that it was a stupid thing to argue with him today.
“Why are you looking for me?” Huo Xiaoran asked.
That cold voice hurt Lu Mo. “Senior, we’re about to get married. I’ll be your wife soon. Do I need a reason to come to you?”
Huo Xiaoran looked at Lu Mo. “Didn’t I say that we won’t get married before we capture Li Changhai?”
Lu Mo said angrily, “Then if you can’t capture him for the rest of my life, will you drag me down for the rest of my life?”
Huo Xiaoran mulled over her words. “For the rest of your life?”
Lu Mo looked at him in shock. The words “for the rest of your life” made Lu Mo shudder.
Lu Mo quickly made up for it. “Besides, my life can’t be compared to yours. Senior, can you bear to let me die with hatred?”
Huo Xiaoran probed Lu Mo’s expression. His heart indeed ached for her body as he thought about how she had been afflicted with cancer at such a young age.
However, he was extremely rational and calm. If Lu Mo did something to hurt Qiao An because she was jealous of his love for her, he would never tolerate her.
“Lu Mo, if it weren’t for Qiao An, I could marry any woman in this world, but the premise is that she doesn’t have any moral blemishes.”
“Senior, what do you mean? Are you suspecting that I’m immoral?” Lu Mo felt like her limbs and bones were filled with ice.
She vaguely realized that Huo Xiaoran’s indifference to her had probably started after Qiao An was buried alive. Did he suspect that she had instigated Li Changhai to hurt Qiao An?
Huo Xiaoran said, “Lu Mo, a clear conscience isn’t afraid of a crooked shadow.”
Lu Mo’s eyes flickered.
After a long time, she asked him, “If Li Changhai is captured and he tells you that his actions have nothing to do with me, how would you face me?”
“Apologize to you and fulfill the engagement,” Huo Xiaoran said.
“Okay.” Lu Mo left with tears in her eyes.
Huo Xiaoran looked at her as she ran off quickly. Her footsteps were steady and it seemed to him that her condition had stabilized a little too quickly.
He turned around and entered the building, walking towards Huo Zhou’s office.
In Huo Zhou’s office, the blood laboratory technician at Jinghang Hospital was seriously telling Huo Zhou about Lu Mo’s blood test.
“The blood that was delivered. Every time I did a test, it was the same sample. The test does show a pathological presence.”
Huo Xiaoran stood at the door and frowned when he heard the laboratory technician’s words.
When Huo Zhou saw Huo Xiaoran, he quickly reported the situation to him. “Xiaoran, it seems that we were overthinking.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at the laboratory technician, who immediately blushed and swore, “Senior, I’m your junior. Don’t worry, I love medicine as much as you do. I won’t accept bribes and do things against my conscience.”
Huo Xiaoran nodded and fell into deep thought.
There was nothing wrong with Lu Mo’s blood test. Could it be that Qiao An was really overthinking?
At this moment, Huo Zhou said, “Xiaoran, Qiao An is a woman. Girls are naturally suspicious. Maybe she really got it wrong.”
Huo Xiaoran nodded solemnly and let the laboratory technician leave.
When Lu Mo returned home, she complained to her mother about Huo Xiaoran’s coldness to her.
“Mom, Senior bullied me. Boohoo.”
Mrs. Lu sighed heavily. “Every time you see him, you’re in a bad mood. Momo, you’re my daughter. Why aren’t you like me at all? Men are different from women. Women rely on men to live, but men don’t live for love. They care more about their careers.”
After a pause, Mrs. Lu said earnestly, “You’re already engaged to him. You have to take on the responsibility of a fiancée. Even if you live in his house openly, no one will gossip about you. As long as the two of you are in the same room, do you still have to worry about not having a chance to consummate the marriage with him? At that time, you will be honored by the child and Xiaoran will marry you. Do you really think that Xiaoran will give up his career for Qiao An? Ha, how can Qiao An be so charming?”
Lu Mo said doubtfully, “But today, Senior told me that he won’t marry a woman without morals. I keep feeling that Senior already suspects that we instigated Li Changhai to hurt Qiao An. Mom, I really regret it. If Senior finds out what we did to Qiao An, he will definitely not forgive me.”
Mrs. Lu said, “Don’t worry, he won’t find any evidence. Even if they catch Li Changhai, he won’t betray us. He will take on all the blame. On the other hand, if he breaks off the engagement with you for no reason, the Huo family would chastise him even if he is not afraid of being criticised. So you can keep it to yourself.”
While they were talking, Mr. Lu came in from outside. He glared at Mrs. Lu and said resentfully, “Look at what you’ve done. Do you know what Huo Zhou did today? He has already started to investigate the medical staff who treated Momo. Obviously, Huo Xiaoran already suspects that Momo’s illness is fake.”
Lu Mo fell onto the sofa.
Mrs. Lu’s face was also a little pale. “Why did he suspect Lu Mo’s condition?”
Lu Mo was extremely shocked because Huo Xiaoran had always been warm to her in the past, but now she felt that Huo Xiaoran was unwilling to talk to her. If he had to communicate with her, his tone hinted at alienation and coldness.
“Senior, hasn’t Zecheng always respected you, his uncle? The Li family’s bloodline flows in your bodies. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to beat him up like this?”

Mrs. Lu’s face was also a little pale. “Why did he suspect Lu Mo’s condition?”
