Chapter 639 - 649: Return Him to Me (11)
Qiao Mo silently watched the scenery outside the window, having to admit that Louis considered things further than she did.It wasn’t long before a call from Fu Nancheng came in.
Qiao Mo braced herself and answered the phone.
"Where are you?" His voice was deep, making it hard for her to discern his emotions.
"I’m...in the car," Qiao Mo cautiously replied.
A moment of silence on the other end, it was evident that he had guessed she was in Louis’s car.
A few seconds later, he spoke in a gentle voice, "I saw the news. Don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to shut it down."
Qiao Mo’s heart warmed, and she softly said, "It’s fine, these kinds of rumors pop up every day. After a while, people won’t pay them much mind."
"I don’t like it," he said warmly.
Qiao Mo was taken aback for a moment, a slight smile appearing on her lips: "I’m really okay, you shouldn’t let this kind of thing affect your mood. We still have to hold the wedding soon."
"Yeah, come home early."
"Got it."
"I’ll deal with you when you get back," he coldly threw out before hanging up.
Qiao Mo was about to cry without tears, did he have to be like this...
With him like this, how could she dare to go home?
Louis seemed to have noticed her awkwardness and considerately offered, "Shall I take you back?"
Qiao Mo was about to nod when the phone rang again, she thought it would be Fu Nancheng, but it turned out to be Yang Peiyun.
She was stunned for a moment, then picked up the phone.
"Xiao Mo, you’re back. How are you? Is everything okay? I saw a lot of news on TV saying you were plagiarizing...how are you?" Her voice carried a hint of concern, warming Qiao Mo’s heart a little.
Is this what it feels like to have a mother?
It seemed no one had ever cared for her like this before...
"I’m fine. Just ran into a little trouble abroad. Don’t the media love to sensationalize things these days? It’ll settle down after a while." Qiao Mo gently comforted her.
"Xiao Mo, can you come to the hospital? It’s been so long since mom saw you... I just... I just don’t feel at ease," Yang Peiyun cautiously asked, perhaps fearing she would refuse.
Qiao Mo was slightly stunned, then silent for a moment.
Yang Peiyun, seeing her remain silent, spoke again, "Even if you don’t acknowledge me as your mother... could you at least come see Xiao Yun... Xiao Yun had two surgeries recently; they both went well, and she’ll be discharged soon. After all, you are sisters. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have..."
She began to choke up, seemingly full of self-blame.
"Alright, I’ll head over shortly," Qiao Mo gently comforted, thinking of her tearful appearance, feeling a twinge of heartache.
"Good... good," Yang Peiyun seemed quite happy to agree.
After hanging up, Qiao Mo asked Louis to take her to the Fifth High-level People’s Hospital, planning to visit Yang Peiyun and Qiao Yun.
This time, as she got out of the car, she was much more cautious, afraid of running into a swarm of reporters and media.
Fortunately, their noses weren’t that sharp, and she arrived at the ward without any unexpected encounters.
As the door opened, Yang Peiyun immediately stood up enthusiastically and welcomed her, "Xiao Mo, you’re here... have a seat, have a seat."
Qiao Mo smiled slightly, "How have you been recently?"
"I’m quite hardy, nothing much happening to me. But it looks like you’ve lost some weight," Yang Peiyun turned to pour her some water, her gaze filled with worry.
"The food and living abroad were a bit uncomfortable, but I’ll be fine after staying here for a few days."
