After a while, Mo Yan smiled brightly and said in a light tone, “Since you are so reliable, from now on, I’ll rely on you. Work hard and earn a lot of money to support me.”

Luo Tao laughed, making Mo Yan’s ears itch.

“Okay.”

“What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you.”

“I can order from you?”

Hearing Luo Tao’s cheeky voice, Mo Yan could not help but laugh as well. “Sure, I’ll let you order, then ask Mo Cheng what he wants to eat.”

“I’ll have to think about it carefully. I’ll text you when I’ve decided.”

“Okay, don’t forget.”

After hanging up the phone, Mo Yan smiled happily as she walked towards the office.

“How do you think Mo Yan got married to such a person?”

As soon as she reached the door, Mo Yan heard gossip about her again. Hearing gossip no longer made her upset.

However, Mo Yan still did not understand why gossiping about her was so fun. Was it better than earning money?

“Going to jail and hitting people... I heard that Mo Yan’s husband is not working right now and it’s all thanks to her.”

“I can’t believe it! No wonder she is so okay with selling herself for money.”

“Tsk tsk, everyone is talking about it! Mo Yan’s husband is a complete piece of trash! Mo Yan is also afraid of letting people know that she’s married to such a person!”

With a bang, the office door was forcefully opened. Mo Yan didn’t seem to notice the people surrounding her as she walked straight to her seat.

When these colleagues saw that Mo Yan had returned, they could not help but look at each other and then dispersed.

The office was quiet. The few women exchanged a look and then took out their phones.

“Do you know what happened at Group B yesterday?”

“Group B?”

“Yes! I’m pretty close with a girl from the group. She told me about it. Let me tell you about it.”

The voices of the few people who were gossiping just now suddenly rang out in the office. Everyone was stunned as they looked at the source of the voices.

Mo Yan originally did not want to make it a bigger deal than it was so that there wouldn’t be tension between her and her colleagues. However, based on the current situation, even if she were to just endure it, she would still not be able to escape being isolated. At least this way, people wouldn’t dare to provoke her anymore.

“Mo, Mo Yan, what was that just now?”

Mo Yan picked up the recording pen and smiled at the person who asked the question. “You mean this?”

“Yes.” The person nodded with a dry smile.

“This is a recording pen! I usually bring it with me during meetings, but I seem to have accidentally kept it on just now.” Mo Yan smiled innocently.

The woman almost choked on Mo Yan’s words, and she became even more embarrassed under Mo Yan’s gaze.

“Then, then can you delete the recording?”

Everyone’s gaze fell on the woman, causing the woman to have no choice but to plead with Mo Yan.

Mo Yan, who had already made up her mind to make an example out of the few of them, turned a blind eye to her distorted expression and said with a full smile, “It sounds like you guys were discussing about me. I’m quite curious. How about you guys tell me what you guys were talking about so that I don’t have to listen to the recording?”

The women’s faces were pale. They were just gossiping about her behind her back. How did they get caught by her? And they were even asked to repeat what they said? How could they?

Suddenly, a shrewd woman with short hair rolled her eyes and said, “Mo Yan, I heard that you’re married. Why aren’t you wearing a ring?”

She didn’t know whether the woman was really curious or was just trying to divert her attention.

Mo Yan thought it was funny. She had already recorded what they had said. Was there any use in changing the topic? However, when she thought about what they said about Luo Tao, Mo Yan’s eyes could not help but darken.

“Who does she think she is? Judging others...”

“Ring? Are you talking about a diamond ring?”

“Of course. How can one get married without a diamond ring?”

As she spoke, the short-haired woman revealed the diamond ring on her left ring finger. It was indeed not a small ring.

Seeing this, the others also chimed in with exclamations. The short-haired woman glanced at Mo Yan arrogantly.

Mo Yan found it funny. Could it be that she had never heard of the famous diamond scam?

However, Mo Yan’s gaze made the short-haired woman mistakenly think that Mo Yan was envious of her. She then continued talking about how her husband had promised her that he would only love her when he proposed to her. He also said that diamonds lasted forever and that this diamond represented his heart.

Listening to the short-haired girl’s bragging, Mo Yan wanted to open a bag of melon seeds and cross her legs to listen to the bedtime story.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing that Mo Yan was quiet, the short-haired girl redirected the topic of conversation back to her.
