Substitute Bride’s Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man-Chapter 209 - Meeting an Acquaintance
Chapter 209: Meeting an Acquaintance
The best way to relieve the pain was to have her attention diverted. Mo Yan listened to the gossip while enjoying the nutritious soup that Xu Wan brought.
Hearing that Chen Ya was not doing well, Mo Yan was inadvertently happy from the bottom of her heart, since Chen Ya had set her up too many times and harmed her so many times. Now that she was in that state, Mo Yan could only comment that evil would be rewarded with evil, and therefore, it was better to be kind.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Mo Yan shouted to come in and saw Luo Tao and Mo Cheng walking in with a doctor behind them.
Seeing the person, Mo Yan shouted in surprise, “Cheng Xiao? ”
“Mo Yan, long time no see, ” Cheng Xiao replied with a smile.
!!“Do you work here? ” Mo Yan asked in surprise.
“Yes. I just met Ah Luo downstairs and found out that you are also in the hospital. ”
Luo Tao was just about to put the things in the cabinet when he saw a pile of things there, so he had to silently withdraw his hand and choose a different spot.
“I heard Ah Luo say that you have a scapular fracture. During this period of time, you need to eat more food with high protein and collagen content, and you can also eat food with high calcium content. Don’t often move the wounded area, and come to the hospital for a regular check-up. ”
“Okay! ” Mo Yan nodded.
After saying that, Cheng Xiao looked at Luo Tao, who was peeling fruits for Mo Yan, and said with a smile, “Previously, I was worried about how you and Mo Yan were doing. I wanted to contact you guys, but I found that I didn’t give my phone number. Now, seeing you guys like this, I feel much more relieved. ”
“I still have to thank you for helping me find such a good husband! ” Mo Yan said to Cheng Xiao mischievously.
After saying that, she sneaked a glance at Luo Tao, only to see the tip of Luo Tao’s ears turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Cheng Xiao spoke, Xu Wan felt something amiss. It was not until Mo Yan finished speaking that she realized who the doctor was.
Thus, when the two of them were talking, Xu Wan interjected, “Mo Yan, this is? ”
“Ah! I forgot to introduce him! Wanwan, this is the matchmaker of Luo Tao and me. His name is Cheng Xiao. Without him, Luo Tao and I might not even have gotten to know each other! ”
Xu Wan thought to herself, “As expected. ”
“Cheng Xiao, this is my best friend, Xu Wan. ”
“Hello. ” Xu Wan was the first to extend her hand.
“Yes, hello. ” Cheng Xiao politely shook her hand.
After that, Cheng Xiao told Mo Yan a lot of things to take note of before leaving the ward. Xu Wan also said that she would leave first after Cheng Xiao left.
Because the two of them left one after the other, Xu Wan caught up with the person in front after a few steps.
“Dr. Cheng, I have something to say to you. Can we talk in private? ” Xu Wan looked at the person in front of her with a smile.
Cheng Xiao didn’t know what she wanted to say to him, but he still nodded and agreed.
“Ms. Xu, what’s the matter? ”
“I hope you will not casually matchmake people in the future. ”
Void of the previous courtesy, Xu Wan went straight to the point.
“Ms. Xu, what do you mean by that? “Cheng Xiao frowned.
“I would like to ask, when you proposed the marriage between the two’s families, did you have a good understanding of each party and their family backgrounds? ”
“Of course. I have been in contact with Ah Luo for a period of time. Although his family background is not good, he is a righteous and steadfast person. That’s why I mentioned the marriage between the two families. ”
Cheng Xiao felt that Xu Wan was Mo Yan’s friend, so she was biased toward Mo Yan. It was definitely unfair for Mo Yan to talk to him.
Xu Wan curled her red lips, and a trace of mockery flashed in her eyes. “Since Luo Tao is so good in your eyes, then why didn’t you check out the female party before mentioning a marriage between the two? ”
Xu Wan’s words were not false. The Mo family was supposed to marry off Mo Lian. If Mo Lian and Luo Tao were together, who knew what kind of life they would have?
Cheng Xiao frowned and did not answer. Xu Wan continued, “If the woman was a haughty and arrogant young lady, would you still think it is a good match, what with different family backgrounds and views? Would you think that Luo Tao will become a live-in son-in-law or that the woman would lower her standards to match him? ”
Xu Wan’s words were like the tip of a needle, poking Cheng Xiao’s heart and making his face pale. He really did not think too much at that time. He only thought that since the older generation had made a marriage agreement, then it should be fulfilled. But if it was really as Xu Wan said, wouldn’t he have harmed Luo Tao?
