Chapter 751: 750 must give her a good welcome
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiuchen’s face didn’t show much change, except for a glint that flashed across his deep eyes.
Once Secretary Wu finished saying what she had to say, she left his home.
By the bedroom door, Mo Xiuchen’s lips curled up with cold indifference. He turned around and went back into the bedroom.
He had asked for Secretary Wu to come tonight just to hear that sentence.
He didn’t need Secretary Wu to say too much – If she had said too much, he might not have believed her.
But her last sentence, he believed.
Follow his intuition… he suddenly smirked again.
His smirk was filled with satisfaction, mockery, and anticipation for what he was about to find out.
Secretary Wu was indeed smart.
Her answer betrayed neither Mo Jingteng nor Cheng Jia.
However, it very clearly indicated to Mo Xiuchen that he was right.
Because she could tell that he didn’t like Cheng Jia.
If this was the case, Cheng Jia wasn’t the one he loved at all.
How could a woman he didn’t love become his fiancée? And that half-brother of theirs…

G City
When Bai Xiaoxiao received a call from Luo Haofeng, it was near the end of the working day.
Seeing the incoming call, her expression shifted.
She pursed her lips slightly, staring at the phone for several seconds before slowly answering the call, “Hello?”
“Xiaoxiao, do you have time for lunch? I’ll treat you,” came Luo Haofeng’s voice from the phone, as clear and joyful as always.
A smile appeared on Bai Xiaoxiao’s exquisite and beautiful face, and she agreed readily, “Sure, where?”
“You think about where you want to eat first, I’ll come to pick you up now.”
“Okay.”
Ma Ten minutes later, Bai Xiaoxiao walked out of the company building.
Spotting the sports car parked by the roadside, and Luo Haofeng leaning against the body of the car in a white suit and trousers, looking handsome.
Under the sunlight, he was dazzlingly handsome.
Seeing her approach, he only straightened up when she was a few steps away.
He opened the car door and started speaking with a gentle smile, “Xiaoxiao, get in.”
“You look really handsome today,” she complimented before getting into the car.
The hand that Luo Haofeng used to hold the car door suddenly tightened.
He watched intently as she climbed into the car.
He was indeed handsome today, having made the effort to dress up before coming.
It was their last date before the breakup.
He wanted to leave her with a good impression, so that when she looked back on their past in the future, she would have pleasant memories.
He watched her settle in before closing the car door.
He then walked around the car to the driver’s seat and seeing that Bai Xiaoxiao was buckling her seatbelt, he reached out and said, “Let me help you.”
Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t refuse and gave him a faint smile, letting go of her hands allowing him to fasten her seat belt for her.
“Xiaoxiao, where do you want to go for lunch?”
Luo Haofeng asked, eyes gentle and humorous, having not seen her for a good few days, he noticed that she had lost some weight.
Somewhere in his heart, a pang of pain suddenly rose.
He pursed his thin lips, waiting quietly for her to answer.
“Let’s go to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion.”
Bai Xiaoxiao said with a laugh.
She spoke with a light and breezy tone.
Luo Haofeng said yes, his head nodding, sat up straight, buckled his seat belt, and then started the car.
As the car moved, Bai Xiaoxiao slightly turned her body, her gaze looking out the window at the rapidly retreating landscape passing by before her eyes.
A scene of her past interactions with Luo Haofeng replayed in her mind…
Luo Haofeng focused solely on driving, occasionally stealing glances at her.
The entire journey to the Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion was rather quiet.
Once they reached Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, Luo Haofeng got them a private room.
He ordered Bai Xiaoxiao’s favorite dishes. Before the food was served, they were chatting casually.
“Xiaoxiao, I heard from Ranran this morning that Cheng Jia is coming back today.”
The moment Luo Haofeng’s words left his mouth, Bai Xiaoxiao initially looked startled before asking, “Really? How does Ranran know?”
Luo Haofeng grinned and said, “It was that guy, Mo Xiuchen. He texted Ranran to tell her.”
“Even though he didn’t mention Cheng Jia’s name, we all know that Cheng Jia is not only his fiancée in D Country but also his secretary.”
“Before I picked you up, I called to confirm. MS Group has indeed transferred one person to D Country temporarily replacing Cheng Jia’s secretary.”
Having heard what Luo Haofeng had to say, Bai Xiaoxiao knew it was true.
She immediately laughed at the news. However, her laughter seemed wicked, “Do you know what time her flight is, when she will be back?”
“Based on what Ranran shared, it’s probably the 4:30 pm flight. Xiaoxiao, are you thinking of going to the airport to fetch Cheng Jia?”
Luo Haofeng stared at her with intense eyes, his handsome face filled with smiles.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows rose slightly, “Exactly, I want to receive Cheng Jia properly.”
Her eyes rolled about, her mind quickly devising the kind of welcome gift to give Cheng Jia.
Luo Haofeng saw her scheming expression and received with a laugh, “It’s not hard to deal with Cheng Jia, Xiaoxiao, you don’t have to go to the airport in person.”
“Why not?”
Bai Xiaoxiao asked with surprise, her eyebrows knit together slightly.
Luo Haofeng chuckled a bit and reminded, “If you openly harass her, she will definitely blame Ranran. Instead, we should take a more subtle approach. Then she wouldn’t know who did it and won’t be able to draw Ranran into it.”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao thought it made sense, and her smile returned, “Ah, you’re right about that. We can’t let Ranran get involved. That despicable woman Cheng Jia could do anything. As long as she doesn’t die, the worst we make her suffer, the better.”
“It wouldn’t be impossible to make her suffer greatly, it just takes a bit more time. As far as I know, Cheng Jia has some deep connections with two shareholders at MS Group…”
Luo Haofeng shared what he knew with Bai Xiaoxiao.
After listening to him, Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in surprise, “Are the things you mentioned real? My god, I didn’t realize how shameless Cheng Jia could be. How could such a dirty woman be by Mo Xiuchen’s side? It’s an insult to Mo Xiuchen. Does she really have nothing going on with Mo Xiuchen?”
Bai Xiaoxiao seemed unsure. After all, Mo Xiuchen had lost his memory.
If there was something between him and Cheng Jia, then any future with Ranran would be over.
“That won’t happen. Mo Xiuchen really dislikes Cheng Jia. He’s never been one to trust people easily. Even if Cheng Jia claims herself to be Mo Xiuchen’s wife, he probably wouldn’t give her a favorable look, and that’s not even considering a fiancée.”
Luo Haofeng spoke teasingly.
The first person Mo Xiuchen saw upon waking was not Cheng Jia, but Ah Kai.
It wasn’t until the next day that Mo Jingteng and Cheng Jia took him away.
He must be wondering why he was suddenly transferred to another hospital, then discharged after a few days, only to be admitted again soon after.
Besides, Cheng Jia has always had a scheming face.
When she initially showed up as the person who saved Mo Xiuchen, he didn’t even like her one bit, much less show her any gentleness. How could he like her after losing his memory?
