Boss Mo's Predestined Love Brought by Surrogacy

Chapter 281 Just Curious

Mo Yichen answered calmly, “Nothing. Our company is going to launch a project recently and looking for a partner. It reminds me of the black card client you mentioned last time. How about him?”

Gu Yan said, “Oh, I see. But I have never seen that client yet.”

Gu Yan felt guilty somehow. Mo Yichen had helped her for so many times, but her hands were tied when he was asking for help.

Mo Yichen felt strange that Gu Yan had never seen her client before. What was going on? Why did she claim that the client had a black card? Mo Yichen asked, “You haven’t seen the client, have you? Why?”

Gu Yan explained, “Well, do you remember that I had to leave early when we were shopping on the weekend? That was because the black card client was visiting our studio to discuss business with me. My colleague called me and told me about it.”

Mo Yichen immediately recalled the incident. Gu Yan finally had no choice but missed the meeting because Mo Xiangyan cried and begged Gu Yan to stay. So it was. Mo Yichen asked, “What happened then?”

Gu Yan said, “Later, having not waited for my return, the client left. He did not even leave any contact information. Now we still can’t contact him.”

Mo Yichen felt something was wrong. He asked, “How do you know he has a black card?”

Gu Yan explained, “The client accidentally exposed his black card, which was just seen by my colleague. By the way, the colleague is the returnee I’ve told you before. He happens to know the black card.”

Mo Yichen frowned and asked, “Is he Jiang Jingcheng?”

Gu Yan said, “Yes, he is. After all, he has spent quite a while abroad and is knowledgeable. It is not surprising that he knows what black card looks like.”

Mo Yichen said, “I see. Forget it.”

Gu Yan said, “I’m sorry, Chen. I can’t help you.”

Mo Yichen said, “It’s all right. Have some faith in me. Your husband is also a black card holder, ok? I am just curious.”

Gu Yan said, “Of course I believe in you. You are the best!”

Mo Yichen laughed and said, “Okay. I have a meeting right now. See you then.”

“Uh-huh.” Gu Yan hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mo Yichen frowned and was lost in thought. Gu Yan didn’t know about the black card, but it didn’t mean he didn’t know either. There were just a few black cards in the world, and even fewer people know about it. What a coincidence that Jiang Jingcheng had seen one.

It was more interesting that Jiang Jingcheng knew the black card. Mo Yichen had asked Wu Gang to investigate Jiang Jingcheng’s background before. Based on Jiang Jingcheng’s previous status, it was impossible that he had ever seen a black card.

There were only two reasons for this. First, the black card was fake or did not exist. Second, he missed some part of Jiang Jingcheng’s background.

Mo Yichen was prone to believe the first reason intuitively, because he owned a black card and knew how difficult it was to acquire a black card. The client appeared inexplicably in Gu Yan’s studio, and the card happened to be recognized by Jiang Jingcheng. What a coincidence.

Mo Yichen never believed any coincidences in the world. Behind all the coincidences, there must be a series of intentional forces working.

Having experienced ups and downs for years, Mo Yichen believed the black card holder was completely a fiction. As for the reason why Jiang Jingcheng did so, Mo Yichen believed that Jiang Jingcheng played the trick only to get Gu Yan.

“Well, how dare such a scum play dirty!” Mo Yichen thought.

“However, the truth is still up to Wu Gang’s investigation. After all, it’s always wise to play safe. If there is really a black card holder in this city, it must be a big news.” Mo Yichen thought.

On the other side, Gu Yan felt strange after Mo Yichen hung up the phone. Her sixth sense warned her that Mo Yichen hided something from her.

Gu Yan was thinking for a while. Then she stood up, walked out of the office, and ordered, “Jingcheng, come here!”

“OK.” Jiang Jingcheng walked into Gu Yan’s office ans asked, “President Gu, is there anything wrong?”

Gu Yan contemplated for a while and noticed Jiang Jingcheng was still standing. She said, “Jingcheng, sit down. Why are you still standing!”

After Jiang Jingcheng sat down, Gu Yan asked, “Jingcheng, I want to ask you a question.”

Jiang Jingcheng smiled and said, “Alright, President Gu. I will see what I can do.”

Gu Yan asked, “Someone asked me about the black card client. Can you describe to me the situation on that day?”

Jiang Jingcheng was so nervous that he never thought that Gu Yan would ask this question. He thought he had fooled her successfully. However, she did ask this question today! Did she notice something?

Jiang Jingcheng looked at Gu Yan’s face out of the corner of his eyes but found nothing unusual. He was rested assured.

Seeing that Jiang Jingcheng was silent, Gu Yan wondered and asked, “Jingcheng, is there something wrong here?”

Jiang Jingcheng answered quickly, “Nothing. I have told you before, but what else do you want to know?”

Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, “Can you describe the appearance of the black card client?”

Jiang Jingcheng’s brain was working rapidly, and he answered carefully, “The man is about 1.7 m high and average-looking. He wore the Armani suit and had closely cropped hair, looking quite placid. That’s all.”

Gu Yan was a little disappointed and said, “I see. Nothing particular. It’s hard to find him.”

The purpose of Jiang Jingcheng was to describe the client as ordinary as possible so as to keep his story watertight as much as possible.

Jiang Jingcheng said, “President Gu, I would definitely know him if that person appears in front of me.”

Gu Yan didn’t continue her questioning. She said, “Fine. That’s it. Go back to work.”

“OK”. Jiang Jingcheng responded and then went out for work.

Gu Yan thought for a while but still had no idea. Then she gave up thinking and got back to work.

Chapter 282 The princess was not me

After leaving the shopping mall, Chen Qian felt very sad. Why was everything turning against her? Why did Mo Yichen, whom she was pursuing so hard, love such an ordinary woman? What did she herself mean to Mo? An enemy? Or a stumbling block in front of his love?

This was life. The more you wanted to get, the harder it was to get. Success was getting farther and farther away from you, though you had tried time and again...

While she was walking along the street, she noticed lovers passing through the road. After she saw a girl with a brilliant smile, a sense which she had never felt before occurred. It could be called loneliness or emptiness. She envied such an ordinary little girl, for that girl had a boyfriend loving her and she loved him too.

“Honey, when will you take me home? Since we have been together for such a long time, should we...” The girl said and then fell into a boy’s arms. Her face was flushed like an apple, and she smiled happily. Chen Qian imagined that one day she could embrace Mo Yichen just like this.

The boy held the girl in his arms, protecting her like guarding a little princess. Two souls were united. Happiness turned out to taste like this. Chen Qian was lost in thought.

The boy was on one knee, got out a box from his pocket, opened it, and put a glittering ring on the girl’s long finger. He said in an extremely gentle voice, “Please marry me. I will make you happy forever and give you the best. I love you. Would you marry me?”

“Yes...Yes...” The crowd cheered. Chen Qian didn’t know when she was surrounded by a crowd of people, pushing her hither and thither. She almost fell on the ground. Her cell phone was knocked off, and half the screen was shattered.

Chen Qian’s tears suddenly fell when she picked up the broken cell phone. She had been looking forward to such a romantic and beautiful marriage proposal since she was a little girl. But she was not the princess this time. She was just a passerby, who witnessed a marriage proposal of others.

Chen Qian was frustrated walking along the road. Her mood sucked. She had everything in her life. She had thought that she could live carefreely like a princess and enjoy life as well as all the beautiful things in the world. Besides, she would meet a prince who loved her deeply, and they would live happily ever after.

However, since she met Mo Yichen, she knew that something in the world could not be bought. It was indeed the most precious.

Chen Qian was so upset that she didn’t want to talk to anyone. She just wanted to have a good sleep or get drunk so that she could forget these troubles once and for all.

Chen Qian stopped at a flower shop by the roadside and took out the broken phone. She tried to turn on it. Fortunately, the screen lighted up. The phone was still functioning. Then she called Li Yunhong.

“Hey, Qian, when will you come here? Didn’t you say that you will come and talk to me today? It happened that Yichen will be back tonight. You should seize the opportunity to get him as early as possible and become the Ms. Mo. Are you aware of that? Come back now. What time is it? Where are you now?” Li Yunhong said.

Li Yunhong sounded impatient. Chen Qian was further saddened when hearing Mo Yichen. With such a mood, there was no way for her to see anyone, let alone making up to a man who did not like her. Right now, the number one task for her was to sleep well. And she should figure out the next step later.

“Auntie, I’m tired today, and I’m not feeling well. Probably, I have to break the promise today. Don’t worry. I’ll visit you next time. Today I am too tired.” Chen Qian said.

Chen Qian bowed her head with a sad face. Her sad gray eyes were filled with tears. There were always challenges and regrets in life. Everyone had something they never managed to get. Most people would choose to give up instead of embarrassing themselves. However, Chen Qian was not ordinary at all, and she would rise wherever she fell.

“Qian, what’s wrong? What happened? Just let me know, and I will get even for you.” Li Yunhong sounded quite worried, which made Chen Qian feel comfortable somehow. After all, there was still a person who supported her and fought alongside her in the world.

Chen Qian thought for a while lowering her head and then decided not to tell Li Yunhong about the matter. It would be useless except that Li Yunhong would think she was too stupid to retain her lover.

“Auntie, nothing happened actually. But I’m in a bad mood. Maybe I have been too busy with the work recently. I almost lose my interest in everything. Now I just want to go home and have a good rest.” Chen Qian said.

“Auntie, I’m so sorry for the disappointment. I will definitely visit you next time and apologize to you. You can accuse me as much as you want. How about it?” Chen Qian tried to convince Li Yunhong to believe her excuse. After all, she was tired really. No matter how strong a person was, he or she would give into something sooner or later.

“That’s all right. Go home and take a good rest. Take care of yourself. Work is important, so is your health. You need to learn how to let it go. Since you don’t need the salary to support yourself, why overstretch yourself? Listen to me. Busy and tired as you are, take care of yourself.” Li Yunhong said.

“It’s nothing urgent actually. If you are not feeling well, go home and have a good rest.” Li Yunhong said.

Her tone indicated strong concern.

“Okay, auntie. I see. Thank you.” Chen Qian said.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qian had a deep sigh and threw the phone into the trash bin next to her. She stuck out her chest and smiled with confidence again.

Women should never shed tears in vain nor should they always shed tears for the same man. What’s more, women should never give in to challenges at any time. Women must make men feel that you were unique and irreplaceable.

Tears were useless. Only the coward chose to be cowardly. Chen Qian only vented her pent-up emotions through crying. She must regain balance, prepare again, and start fighting!

Like a soulless person, Chen Qian were wandering on the street.
