Chapter 690 - 700 Follow-up (12)
"Hmm, I’m planning to visit Qiao Yun at the hospital, there’s nothing else.""Then after the visit, come to Auntie’s house for dinner." Xu Wan spoke up again.
Qiao Mo was taken aback, feeling it was a bit much: "That’s too much trouble, maybe another day."
"It’s no trouble at all, after you’re off work, Auntie will accompany you to the hospital. After you see Qiao Yun, we’ll go straight home, and after we get home, we’ll have dinner directly, then Qingcheng will drive you back."
Seeing the expectation in her eyes, Qiao Mo couldn’t bear to refuse.
Moreover, she was really too lonely. She somewhat craved the warmth Xu Wan brought her.
"Alright then, it’s settled."
"Good... good."
With that, Xu Wan didn’t disturb Qiao Mo’s work anymore, but sat quietly flipping through a magazine.
Qiao Mo looked at those cute little flower pots on the table and carefully put on the glasses Xu Wan gave her, her gaze softened a bit.
...
At that moment, outside the office. The woman who had just caused trouble for Qiao Mo in the restroom poked her head in several times from this side.
The woman’s name was Li Yan. Although she had been around for a long time, she had never officially been promoted to a designer with her own team.
After Qiao Mo left the restroom, Li Yan felt uneasy at heart.
Even though she didn’t like Qiao Mo, she couldn’t help but worry that Qiao Mo would talk to Louis and make trouble for her.
"Who was that woman who just went in?" Li Yan walked over to a colleague she had a good relationship with and inquired about Xu Wan’s background.
"Seems like she’s Qiao Mo’s aunt."
"Aunt? A relative?" Li Yan’s eyes brightened a bit.
"Not sure, I heard her talking to the secretary saying she was Qiao Mo’s aunt, and came to bring her something."
"Did you see what was brought?" Li Yan inquired again.
"It seemed to be some small potted plants, look at her desk."
Li Yan turned her head, using a desk to hide her body, peered around for a while, and sure enough, Qiao Mo’s desk had quite a few more small flower pots.
Judging by this, it must indeed be her relative.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, didn’t you say random people weren’t allowed in the office? How come that woman was let in and stayed for so long?" Li Yan asked again.
"Who is Qiao Mo? Don’t you know? The president personally brought her in, who would dare not show some respect?"
Hearing this, Li Yan remained silent, a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.
Soon, Li Yan turned and left.
But until after work, she had been back and forth countless times, always watching the movements in Qiao Mo’s office.
Close to five o’clock, Qiao Mo packed her things and said to Xu Wan, "Aunt Xu, you must be tired. I’ve packed up, maybe I shouldn’t go to the hospital today."
Sitting on the sofa, Xu Wan indeed seemed a bit sleepy, her health hadn’t been good for years, but upon hearing Qiao Mo call her, she perked up a bit: "Not tired, I’ve just been sitting here doing nothing, not tiring at all. Let’s go, to the hospital first, didn’t you say it was the Fifth High-level People’s Hospital last time? It’s on the way, it won’t take long."
Seeing this, Qiao Mo didn’t refuse anymore.
But just as the two walked out of the office, Li Yan came forward and said, "Oh, isn’t this the great designer Qiao? Didn’t expect you’d need a nanny picking you up after work, treating this like your own home."
Qiao Mo furrowed her brows, nanny? She felt a trace of anger at Li Yan for speaking about Aunt Xu this way.
Xu Wan was dressed in a light blue cheongsam embroidered with white peonies, her hair in a simple bun, light makeup enhancing her appearance, missing any sense of a typical wealthy lady’s extravagance, but her demeanour was refined, elegant and noble, worlds apart from what one might associate with the word ’nanny.’
