CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce

Chapter 1613. Jealousy is a double-edged sword

How could this poor vixen afford to pay this debt?

Her son treats his fiancée like a treasure, even if she’s in a vegetative state, he can’t bear to give up. Xue Lan firmly believes that the money was given by her son, Gu Junhang.

Since Xia Yumo woke up, she had experienced a series of events and was focused on work. She hadn’t had time to think about the money and had forgotten to ask Gu Junhang or Qiao Xu.

Although Xue Lan’s words were harsh, she was right about one thing.

She didn’t have much of a connection with Gu Junhang anymore, so if it was really him who gave her the money, she had no reason to use it so confidently.

At this moment, facing Xue Lan’s harsh and mocking "debt collection" face, she felt embarrassed and didn’t know how to respond.

"Who told you that this money for Yumo’s hospital bills was given by Gu Junhang?"

At this moment, an icy yet forceful voice rang out.

Several people in the room looked up to see Qiao Xu approaching with a cold face, followed by Lu Moqing, who exuded an unwelcoming aura.

Seeing Lu Moqing, Xue Yishan, standing beside Xue Lan, unconsciously adjusted her disguise. Su’s mother and daughter also discreetly observed each other to make sure their demeanor was appropriate.

When Xue Lan saw Lu Moqing and Qiao Xu, she instinctively felt scared.

The shadow of her previous failures against Qiao Xu was still looming in her heart.

Moreover, Lu Moqing, standing beside Qiao Xu, had no respect for her as an elder.

Even worse, she could imagine that if she said or did anything to Qiao Xu, this jealous guardian wouldn’t let her off easily.

Qiao Xu didn’t know how much Xia Yumo had been humiliated by this harsh old woman before she came in.

Just now, after hearing Xue Lan’s words, Xia Yumo’s face clearly showed uneasiness.

And the three women beside Xue Lan, all with a watchful expression, eagerly waiting to help Xue Lan ridicule Xia Yumo.

A fire rose in Qiao Xu’s heart. He strode over to Xia Yumo, placing his hand on her shoulder, giving her a strong sense of support.

Seeing Qiao Xu, Xia Yumo’s heart suddenly calmed down. She looked up and smiled at him.

Qiao Xu nodded to reassure her, then looked at Xue Lan. His smile was calm, but his eyes were a little aggressive -

"Mrs. Gu, do you think I, Qiao Xu, am dead? Or do you think that I can’t afford to pay this small amount, and that you need the Gu family to help?"

If it were someone else, Xue Lan might have been able to argue back, but not with Qiao Xu.

Everyone knew that the Lu family was never short of money, but Qiao Xu had everything that Lu Moqing had, plus the large group left by Qiao Sheng.

Sometimes, Xue Lan targeted Qiao Xu out of jealousy. Even separated by generations, she was jealous of Qiao Xu being unconditionally pampered and spoiled by Lu Moqing. This allowed her to have the confidence to say anything at any time.

She was freely unrestrained and self-centered.

However, Xue Lan married Gu Huanan, and she would never know the taste of the happiness and luxury that Qiao Xu enjoys.

Jealousy is always dangerous, it doesn’t discriminate by age or identity. As long as someone has a better life than oneself, jealousy involuntarily arises.

It’s like a double-edged sword that hurts others and also brings pain to oneself in the process.
