Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the evening, as planned, a group of people left for the hotel after work.

However, unexpectedly, other than the people from Mo Yan’s company, there were other people already waiting in the private room.

After Mo Lian’s introduction, those from Hong Jing found out that the people in front of them were in charge of Mo Lian’s future development work.

The dishes were served promptly, and not long after, the table was filled with food and wine.

Mo Lian kept looking at Mo Yan, but Mo Yan did not seem to notice it as she stared at the food in front of her.

Mo Lian could not help but ask everyone to start eating after a few words.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere at the table gradually livened up. The directors, the managers of Group B, Group D, and the people from Hong Jing’s side were mingling. Some were touting those from Mo Yan’s side with different methods.

On the other hand, Mo Yan’s side was persuaded to drink alcohol even after getting drunk, but Mo Yan had injuries, so that person only tried persuading her for a while before moving on.

Mo Yan was completely uninterested in this type of social gathering where people were always blindly entertaining one other. She quietly discussed with Xu Tian which dish was more delicious.

Just when Mo Lian was being heavily flattered, she suddenly noticed Mo Yan, who was chatting happily with Xu Tian, and instantly thought of the purpose of the gathering that night.

After telling everyone that she was going to go out and make a call, she left the room. She only returned after about five minutes.

“Everyone, stop for a moment. There’s a guest coming in a while. I hope everyone can look after him.”

Mo Lian gave Mo Yan an evil smile. This made Mo Yan realize who the person was.

Mo Yan’s brows were tightly knitted. She looked coldly at Mo Lian.

“Why did you ask Luo Tao here?”

Mo Yan’s cold expression made the private room quieten down instantly.

Mo Lian saw that Mo Yan was angry and felt delighted, she said, “What can I do? It’s because I saw that brother-in-law hasn’t had a proper job since he came out! I was thinking that, since the start of the project is when we are short-handed, I’ll let the people from the company meet brother-in-law and see if they can find a simple job for him.”

“No need.” Mo Yan’s voice was even colder.

Mo Lian had invited Luo Tao twice in a row. It seemed like she wanted to ensure that Luo Tao came.

As for the purpose of coming here, other than humiliating Luo Tao and making her angry, Mo Yan really couldn’t think of another intention.

“Sister, don’t be so courteous. I just want to help you.”

As she was speaking, there was a knock on the door, and everyone’s eyes instantly focused on the door.

The first to push the door open was a waiter, followed by Luo Tao.

The moment he saw Luo Tao, the supervisor of group B subconsciously said, “So handsome!”

Luo Tao was only wearing a simple white shirt and black pants. Perhaps he had already taken a shower at home, but his hair was a little fluffy, and he looked like a fresh college student. He was a perfect match for Mo Yan.

Just as everyone was stunned, Mo Yan quickly ran to Luo Tao’s side and asked worriedly, “Why are you here?”

Luo Tao gave Mo Yan a comforting smile and squeezed Mo Yan’s hand.

“I’m here to pick you up. We can go home together later.”

Mo Yan blushed from his smile and was about to ask the waiter to add a stool next to her.

However, before the two of them could take their seats, Mo Lian spoke, “Everyone, this is my sister Mo Lian’s husband, Luo Tao. Everyone, please look after him in the future!”

Luo Tao’s gaze swept past Mo Lian and the few managers at the table. For some reason, his gaze made the seasoned managers feel a strong pressure, and they all avoided his gaze.

Luo Tao ignored the crowd. He glanced at the food on the table, then brought Mo Yan to the table and sat down.

“The dishes are okay. There’s nothing you can’t eat right now.”

Mo Yan nodded with a smile. Although she needed to eat more to recover, some food was still taboo. Luo Tao remembered it better than she did.

Mo Lian was ignored by the two of them, and her face turned black as thunder. When she heard Luo Tao talk about the dishes, she put on a fake smile and said, “Yes! Singh’s dishes are not bad. I don’t think brother-in-law has ever eaten such exceptional dishes! In the future, if brother-in-law enters our company, we’ll have to arrange more business trips for brother-in-law to broaden his horizons.”

Mo Yan’s expression was icy. If her gaze could turn into an ice pick, it would have pierced Mo Lian into a sieve long ago.

Mo Yan was just about to mock her back when Luo Tao handed her a bowl of soup.

Seeing that Luo Tao did not care about Mo Lian’s barking, Mo Yan calmed down greatly. She did not want Luo Tao to suffer because of her.
