Chapter 237: Substitute“Lu Xiao is the granddaughter of the chairman of the Martha Corporation, one of the three largest corporations in Country J. Originally, Lu Xiao was Mo Shi’s fiancée. The two of them were considered to be in a business marriage. However, Mo Shi had been playful since he was young, and when he grew up, he didn’t do proper work. My second grandfather was very disappointed in him, so he replaced the heir of the family with Mo Cheng, and Lu Xiao became Mo Cheng’s fiancée.”

Qin Ran shook her head repeatedly when she heard this. She thought to herself that this Lu Xiao was really pitiful. Her marriage partner had been changed so casually just because the heir of Hai Mo Corporation had changed.

“Actually, Mo Shi told me since I was young that he didn’t like Lu Xiao, and he wouldn’t listen to the family’s orders to marry a woman he didn’t love. Therefore, when Lu Xiao became Mo Cheng’s fiancée, I was still happy for Mo Shi. Unexpectedly, Mo Shi told me that he realized that he had fallen in love with Lu Xiao.” When Mo Chi said this, his tone was very helpless.

Qin Ran’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect the plot to develop like this. Mo Shi’s reaction was really slow. He actually waited until Lu Xiao was about to become someone else’s wife before he realized that he liked her.

She almost suspected that Mo Shi had some strange hobby of loving other people’s wives.

Mo Chi naturally didn’t know what bold and strange thoughts were in Qin Ran’s little head. He continued, “On the day before Mo Cheng and Lu Xiao’s wedding, Mo Shi took Lu Xiao away.”

“F*ck, elope?!” Qin Ran didn’t expect the reality to be even more twisted and bizarre than a melodrama.

Mo Chi nodded, but from his expression, it seemed like he didn’t agree with Mo Shi’s actions either. “But the two of them failed to elope. My second grandfather was so angry that he was hospitalized for a month. When he woke up, he beat Mo Shi half to death. The Lu family hated Mo Shi to death, and the relationship between the two families almost deteriorated.”

Qin Ran listened with interest. “Then who is this woman today?” The girl in white who appeared in front of everyone today looked timid. It was obvious that she didn’t come from a rich family. Moreover, the girl didn’t seem to have a high status. The maids didn’t respect her at all.

Because that girl gave Qin Ran a familiar feeling, Qin Ran felt a little depressed when she thought of this.

“Mo Shi brought her back from outside. He named her Lu Xiao.”

“Substitute?” Qin Ran rolled her eyes. “How could Mo Shi do such a thing?” He couldn’t get his sister-in-law, so he found a substitute for his sister-in-law and even named her Lu Xiao. This sounded really arrogant and bold. If outsiders knew the inside story, who knew what would happen? That young lady was really pitiful. It was fine if she didn’t live well in the Mo Family, but she was actually treated as a substitute.

Qin Ran and Mo Chi only had each other in their hearts, so she hated things like “white moonlight” and “substitute” the most. Mo Shi doing this would not only let down the real Lu Xiao, but also that girl. At the same time, he would also let himself down. Fake feelings would only bring about the regrets of the three of them in the end.

“That girl was saved by Mo Shi. If it weren’t for Mo Shi, I’m afraid she would have lost her life. Moreover, she was willing, so I couldn’t say anything. Although Second Grandpa doesn’t like her, he’s afraid that Mo Shi would do something out of line after losing Lu Xiao.”

“Hmph, rich people are indeed strange.” Qin Ran pouted and hugged Mo Chi again. “Fortunately, you didn’t grow crooked.”

If Mo Chi was also a bastard like Mo Shi, who would she cry to?

Mo Chi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He gently kissed Qin Ran’s forehead. “I only have my wife in my heart.”

Qin Ran and Mo Chi were still loving each other in the garden. Mo Shi had already been helped home by the servants. After he entered the door, under the control of the alcohol, he shouted even more anxiously, “Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao…”

Lu Xiao was in her room. When she heard Mo Shi’s voice, she hurriedly ran out and carefully helped Mo Shi upstairs.

When Mo Shi saw Lu Xiao, he hugged her tightly like a drowning person grabbing onto the last straw. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her crazily. The two of them leaned against the railing. Lu Xiao was afraid that the servants would see them, and her face turned red. She tried her best to push Mo Shi away. “Don’t do this, Ah Shi.”

Mo Shi held Lu Xiao’s chin with his fingers and looked at her seriously with his beautiful peach blossom eyes. “Don’t leave me, Xiaoxiao, okay?” He was already extremely handsome, and under the influence of alcohol, he had more crazy affection than usual. No woman could resist such a gaze.

Lu Xiao’s heart was pounding. She hugged Mo Shi’s waist shyly and said firmly and softly, “Ah Shi, I won’t leave. I’ll always be with you.”
