Chapter 162: Deceit and Donation

Li Xiaoran had been very depressed recently. Every day, he had to rely on alcohol and nicotine to numb himself. Then, he would wake up on the cold ground and go to work the next day.

Lu Mo had been forcing him to get married recently. After she became Li Xiaoran’s official girlfriend, she couldn’t wait to tell the world that she was Li Xiaoran’s fiancée. Every day, she had to pick Li Xiaoran up from work as a docile and obedient girlfriend.

Chairman Huo paid special attention to his grandson, Li Xiaoran. When he heard that a girl had been waiting for his grandson to get off work every day, Old Mr. Huo naturally noticed Lu Mo.

He deliberately called Huo Zhou to his office and asked him about Lu Mo and Li Xiaoran.

Huo Zhou told the truth. “Xiaoran likes Qiao An because he loves her to the bone, and Lu Mo likes Xiaoran because he’s stubborn.”

Then, he told Old Master Huo about Qiao An rejecting Li Xiaoran and Lu Mo chasing after Li Xiaoran.

Old Master Huo felt Lu Mo’s infatuation and his impression of her improved. He also acknowledged Lu Mo as his granddaughter-in-law.

Old Master Huo said, “Lu Mo is so attentive to Xiaoran. You have to remind Xiaoran not to let this girl down. Since Qiao An has a history of marriage, it means that she doesn’t have Xiaoran in her heart. Xiaoran should learn to let go of Qiao An.”

Then, every time Old Master Huo met Lu Mo after work, he would deliberately go up to her and get close to her.

“Miss, are you here to wait for CEO Li again?”

Lu Mo was a very savvy person. The second time Old Master Huo greeted her, she secretly asked the receptionist who this amiable grandfather was. The receptionist smiled and replied, “Miss, you’re lucky. This is the chairman of the Huo Corporation.”

Lu Mo was pleasantly surprised.

That day, after Li Xiaoran got off work, Lu Mo held Li Xiaoran’s hand intimately and bragged to Li Xiaoran, “Senior, if you have any problems at work, tell me. I can get Old Master Huo to guide you.”

Li Xiaoran was stunned. “How do you know him?” It seemed that Lu Mo and his grandfather were very familiar.

Lu Mo explained, “Old Mr. Huo has been trying to get close to me every day after work. He takes special care of me.”

Li Xiaoran explained lazily, “Oh, he’s my grandfather. He probably knows that you’re his future granddaughter-in-law.”

Lu Mo was dumbfounded.

Li Xiaoran was actually Old Master Huo’s grandson? Old Mr. Huo was the richest man in the capital.

It was said that Old Master Huo had no children! Lu Mo felt like she had won the lottery. Li Xiaoran actually hid such a big shot identity. At this moment, she was extremely glad that she had never given up on Li Xiaoran, this dark horse.

“Senior, why didn’t you tell me about this?” Lu Mo pouted and muttered unhappily.

Li Xiaoran said, “It’s not important.”

Lu Mo’s pupils dilated in shock.

He was the heir of the Huo family, yet he said that such important news was not important?

Or was he just unwilling to share it with her? If it were Qiao An, he would have said it long ago.

Lu Mo felt like she was sitting on pins and needles when she thought of Qiao An.

Qiao An was pregnant. She could not let Li Xiaoran meet her. At least, before Li Xiaoran registered their marriage.

In order to show their recognition of Lu Mo as their granddaughter-in-law, the Huo family actually held a banquet for Lu Mo’s family at the Huo family’s hotel.

The two families had a happy dinner.

The Huo family even gave Lu Mo a big gift, indicating their recognition of Lu Mo.

This made Mr. and Mrs. Lu especially happy.

In the entire banquet, only the host, Li Xiaoran, ate insipidly. He secretly reprimanded Huo Zhou, “Were you the one who leaked my relationship with Lu Mo?”

Huo Zhou said softly, “Grandpa said that Lu Mo is a good girl. He wants you to forget Qiao An.”

Li Xiaoran’s face darkened.

After the banquet ended, Lu Mo happily posted the gift from the Huo family on her social media page. She even said meaningfully, “After obtaining the approval of Senior’s family, the wedding date is approaching.”

Then she set the post to be visible only to Qiao An.

Qiao An’s heart sank when she saw this post.

In the photo, the people who had dinner with Lu Mo and Li Xiaoran were clearly the Lu family and the Huo family.

Qiao An had long guessed that Li Xiaoran and Old Master Huo had an unusual relationship. Only when she saw Lu Mo’s Moments did she know that Old Master Huo was Li Xiaoran’s grandfather.

Since Li Xiaoran had chosen to reveal his special relationship with the Huo family to Lu Mo, it could be seen that he valued Lu Mo.

At that moment, Qiao An seemed to have lost her favorite toy and was in a daze.

She understood that she had completely lost Li Xiaoran.

This matter had already dealt Qiao An’s soul a huge blow. She didn’t expect an even bigger blow to come.

In order to take revenge on Qiao An, Li Zecheng’s mother, the Third Madam, finally led a “cheating donation” incident after many days of careful planning.

The reason was that Qiao An had donated all her divorce assets to a charity. However, Third Madam had an ulterior motive. That charity didn’t have a complete legal operating certificate, and it also had the evil act of devouring charity funds. Since there was a problem with the charity, Qiao An’s donation was deliberately misrepresented by to be a “fake donation”.

The negative comments about Qiao An on the Internet flooded in, and the good image she had accumulated in the past collapsed overnight. Some said that she was evil and had ruined such a good husband. Some said that she was scheming and had deliberately destroyed Li Zecheng’s reputation. Some even said that she was vicious and that her donation fraud was extremely shameful.

Although Qiao An was exasperated, her rationality made her restrain herself. She still had to take care of the baby in her stomach. She couldn’t be angry.

Qiao An valued her reputation and had originally decided to stay behind to deal with the fake donation.

However, Loco reminded her, “An’an, Wang Yushu is clearly slandering you, but this is not the time to bicker with her. You can’t hide your stomach anymore. If you stay, the Li family will find out about the child in your stomach sooner or later. When the fake donation case is resolved, new trouble will appear.”

“Just go overseas and wait for your labor. Leave the matters here to me. I’ll help you gather evidence during this period of time and drag Wang Yushu and the others along. When you give birth, I’ll come back to settle the score with her.”

After careful consideration, Qiao An decided to leave the country.

However, she did not expect that her decision would put her in a hopeless situation.

It was unknown which busybody revealed Qiao An’s trip abroad. Therefore, many people online guessed that Qiao An had fled for her life and even asked the police to restrict her from leaving the country.

Things were getting worse.

In the end, even someone like Li Xiaoran, who had no news, accidentally saw the fake news of Qiao An’s donation online…
