Chapter 12

"So are you going to give up?"

"I don't know," Mo Yan smiled bitterly. "I know that I still love him. I'm just reluctant to give up. Yi, Do you know how it feels to love someone? If one day, you know, When you open your eyes, you never see him again, and you will never have him in your life. That scares me more than death."

"You're just depending on Gu Yichen. You won't listen to what others say. I won't persuade you. As long as you think it's worthy, as long as you don't regret it, just do it."

Paang Jiayi shook her head and handed her the phone. "Someone on your Weibo has written to you privately as if it was the owner of that cat."

"Cat?"

Mo Yan stood up in a daze and said in a panic, "No, I lost the cat!"

Lea Jingyu fed the Hairball medicine and was about to take a bath when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that the caller ID was "the perpetrator." He just hung it off.

But soon the call came again. He frowned and answered it.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lea, writing to me on Weibo?"

The female voice over there sounded familiar. Lea Jingyu was stunned and forgot to move.

Seeing that he was silent, the other side said, "Is the cat in the photo yours? Sorry, I have something to do today. I just saw your message now."

It was her. Lea Jingyu's eyes flashed with interest. It was a coincidence.

"Hello? Mr. Lea, are you listening?"

Lea Jingyu glanced at the Hairball and said faintly, "The cat is mine. Is it with you?"

The magnetic bass over there stunned Mo Yan, and then she stammered, "It was originally with me, but I took it to the hospital today and accidentally lost it."

Lost it? She obviously forgot!

Mr. Lea curled up his long legs, sat on the sofa, narrowed his eyes, and touched the Hairball. "So you called me to tell me that you lost my cat?"

"No, well, fine."

Mo Yan felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say. She was the one who picked up the cat, but why was she having

the feeling of being blackmailed?

"The pet hospital has surveillance cameras. I know who stole the cat. Mr. Lea, don't worry. I'll try my best to find it for you."

Stole it? Lea Jingyu's face darkened.

Seeing that the other side was silent, Mo Yan was also unsure of his attitude, and whispered, "Mr. Lea, how do you think?"

Lea Jingyu narrowed his eyes and curled his lips, smiling faintly. "Well, please."

Mo Yan was stunned for a moment. She always felt that he seemed to stress the word "please" very hard. She ignored her strange thoughts and said, "It should be. After all, it's my fault. Before your cat is found, you can contact me by calling this number. My surname is Mo, Mo Yan."

Mo Yan, the Mo Group's daughter, was Gu Yichen's wife, After hanging up the phone, Lea Jingyu pondered the name.

Ever since that day when she found out the affair between Gu Yichen and Pei Yanran, everything seemed to have gone wrong.

First, it was breaking an appointment of the compensation for the car accident. Mo Yan was contacted by other party's lawyer. She would either pay 630,000 yuan directly or go through legal procedures. Then there was the pet hospital surveillance that happened to malfunction that day, so there was no way to find out about that man. Finally, it was the Mo Group. After the branch company was closed and reorganized, executives left one after another. In less than a week, almost ten of them left, and four went to Ruixing Corporation of the Gu Family.

Mo Yan didn't know if she was too sensitive. Her intuition was that it wasn't a coincidence. Of course, she understood the principle of choosing a good boss and workplace. She was afraid that the person behind them was the one she didn't dare to think about.

She pinched her eyebrows, closed her eyes, and leaned back in her chair. Counting that, it had been more than a week since she hadn't seen Gu Yichen. This was the first time she had persisted for so long without calling him. When she was tossing and turning every night, he was probably still glad that she didn't bother him...

The door was knocked on twice. Lin Anna pushed it open and whispered, "Manager Mo?"

Mo Yan wiped her face and looked up to regain her usual composure. "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Mo asked me to remind you not to forget Old Master Lea's birthday party tonight."

Mo Yan frowned. "We don't seem to have received an invitation from the Lea Family, do we?"

Old Master Lea was one of the first groups of merchants in the late 1970s. With his shrewd mind and ruthless tactics, he quickly established the status of the richest man in Yun'an City, while the Mo Family was a real century-old family. In the age of chemical ingredients in cosmetics, the unique medicinal makeup was widely sought after, but her father was a conservative person. There was a natural resistance to the Lea Family, which was rich in the bubble economy of real estate, so even in the same business circle, there was almost no intersection between the Mo Family and the Lea Family. Now, her father actually learned to be tactful for their unstable industry? Mo Yan was inexplicably sad.

"The Mo Group won't participate, but Boss Mo said you have to go because the Gu Family is also invited this time."

Mo Yan suddenly understood her father's intention. He was paving the way for her and reminding the Gu family. Mo Yan's chest was burning. She gritted her teeth and could speak after a long time.

"Tell Boss Mo that I will definitely go."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, she called Gu Yichen. After a long time, someone answered. Unexpectedly, it was Lu Yan.

"Boss Gu is in a meeting. What's the matter, madam?"

"Is Yichen going to Old Master Lea's birthday party tonight?"

"Yes, he received the invitation yesterday."

Mo Yan lowered her eyes and her long eyelashes cast two fan shadows on her face. After a while, she said softly, "Does he need a female companion?"

Lu Yan quickly understood. "Yes, I talk to Boss Gu after the meeting."

Mo Yan was relieved and whispered, "Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, she was anxious. In fact, she didn't like to attend such parties. Her brother Mo Nuo had been playing since he was a child and didn't care about business at all. Her father had no choice but to force her into the Mo Group. This identity gave her great honor but also gave her unspeakable disgust. Even Mo Heng didn't know that she had social phobia.

It was only after five o'clock that Mo Yan received a call from Lu Yan. She was a little surprised. According to her understanding of Gu Yichen, if he agreed, he would call her first to humiliate her. Could it be that her old love had returned and even his temper had changed? She thought self-deprecatingly.

"Madam, Boss Gu asked you to go straight to the Lea Family villa. He's waiting for you there. The address is..."

Mo Yan couldn't react to such a promise. It took her a while to say, "I see."
