Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man

XXIII

The apartment that Xu Wan found for the two of them was in an old residential building near the city center. Although there was no elevators, the walls were a little old, and the apartment was small, the rent was cheap and it was close to the city. Mo Yan took a look at the place and decided to rent it.

Most importantly, living here was close to the hospital, so it would be convenient for Mo Yan to visit her mother.

Since her younger brother's tuition fees were already paid and he could go to school, the burden of taking care of their mother was placed on Mo Yan. During the day, Mo Yan had to go to the hospital to take care of her mother and look for jobs. At night, she had to come back and cook for Luo Tao, she was so busy.

Her best friend, Xu Wan, also often talked badly about Luo Tao. "Yan Yan, why is your husband not helping at all? He's just letting you tire yourself out. While you go out to look for jobs, shouldn't he go to the hospital to take care of your mother instead? You're letting yourself be a pushover."

Mo Yan said as she placed some flowers in a vase, "Luo Tao has his own matters to attend to. I can handle it on my own, so I won't trouble him."

Xu Wan's impression of Luo Tao had always been very bad. When she heard this, she snorted coldly and said bitterly, "Just leave him! I don't understand what's so good about a man with no money or ability."

"Alright, I'm going to go cook. Talk to you next time." Mo Yan finished arranging the flowers and looked at the small rented room that was decorated very homely and comfortably. Her lips curved into a smile.

With a click, the door was unlocked. Luo Tao came back from his run with a bag of oranges in his hand.

Mo Yan took the oranges and said with a smile, "Luo Tao, see how I've tidied up the house?"

Luo Tao took off his mask and looked over. The old sofa in the living room was covered with a beige sofa cover. The small table was covered with a grass-green plaid tablecloth. On top of it was a vase of roses. The window was very bright and there was a white translucent curtain hanging down from it.

Even though Luo Tao was used to seeing and living in luxurious villas and apartments, he was still amazed by Mo Yan's meticulously decorated small house.

Compared to those big houses with luxurious decorations, Luo Tao would rather squeeze in this small but comfortable rented house with Mo Yan.

"It's very beautiful. I like it very much." Luo Tao smiled and said from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm glad that you like it." Mo Yan put on an apron and walked into the small kitchen. She seemed to have thought of something, she stuck her head out again and said, "I passed the interview today. It's the company where Xu Wan works. I can start going to work tomorrow."

So this was the reason why she was in a good mood today. Luo Tao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "Which company is it? How big Is It? What position do you have?"

She was bombarded by a series of questions. Mo Yan opened her mouth and was a little embarrassed. "Uh, I just got hired. I'm just a small sales person. I'm not too sure about the rest..."

Seeing Mo Yan's troubled expression, Luo Tao nodded and said, "Okay, do your best."

However, on Mo Yan's first day at work, a very unfortunate thing happened.

At that time, she had just finished signing her attendance sheet and was following a guidance personnel to her work station. She first knocked on the door of her supervisors' office to greet them. When she entered, she saw two extremely familiar faces.

Her department supervisor was actually Zhou Shuai and Chen Ya!

Zhou Shuai was her senior in university. He had once launched an ardent pursuit for her for a year and a half, but Mo Yan had always rejected him. Zhou Shuai liked to pester her, so she had thought of all ways to avoid him.

The reasons why she did not get together with Zhou Shuai was firstly because she understood his lust for beauty. He pursued her because she was good-looking, not because he really liked her. Secondly, she was busy with her studies and work during university, she simply did not have the time to date.

Later, she heard that Zhou Shuai had gotten together with his colleague, Chen Ya after graduation. She did not expect that they would both be promoted to supervisor.

This awkward situation caused Mo Yan to be stunned for a few seconds after she entered the office. However, she quickly came back to her senses and said, "Supervisor Zhou, Supervisor Chen, I'm here for work."

Chen Ya was a woman with a sharp chin who liked to wear heavy makeup. Perhaps it was because they were a couple, but she was sitting on Zhou Shuai's lap. When she saw Mo Yan enter, she slowly stood up and nodded in response.

Zhou Shuai naturally recognized Mo Yan and smiled meaningfully. He took her work permit and glanced at it, saying, "Mo Yan? I thought the name and surname of our new hire was familiar... I didn't expect it to really be you. What a coincidence."

Although Mo Yan was still a little disgusted by Zhou Shuai, she still forced a smile for the sake of work. "Yes, what a coincidence."
