Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce Chapter 178 – Defending Lu Mo, Qiao An Is Injured

Secretary Dong said quickly, “Who else could it be? Other than the new assistant who had the chance to get close to the CEO’s food and drinks, no one else had the chance to poison him.”

Lu Mo was furious.

When Qiao An dragged her exhausted legs into the room, the furious Lu Mo rushed over like an angry tigress. She pushed and scolded Qiao An, “How dare you hurt my senior? Chen Sisi, I think you’re too bold.”

Qiao An was a person who could distinguish between love and hate. She hated Huo Xiaoran, but she did not want to transfer her hatred to the innocent people around him.

Facing Lu Mo’s aggressiveness, she only gave in good-naturedly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Mo pushed her luck. She actually scratched Qiao An’s face. Her slender nails grabbed Qiao An fiercely, leaving bloody marks on her face.

Huo Xiaoran frowned and winked at Secretary Dong.

“Miss Lu.” Secretary Dong went forward and pulled Lu Mo away.

Qiao An leaned against the wall weakly. She was already tired and weak, so she couldn’t do anything rude like fighting with Lu Mo in public. She held back her grievances and glared at Huo Xiaoran.

Huo Xiaoran’s favoritism towards Lu Mo was so obvious and direct. He didn’t criticize her at all.

The grievance in Qiao An’s eyes slowly condensed into anger.

She felt inexplicably sad and envied Lu Mo for having a man backing her up when she made mistakes.

As for her, every time she encountered something big or small, she would be the one to bear all the storms.

Others thought that she was strong, but in fact, it was just arsenic given to her by life.

“I didn’t poison you,” Qiao An said slowly after a long time.

However, she was a nobody. They looked at her with such contempt and doubt.

Lu Mo pointed at her nose angrily and scolded, “Chen Sisi, we’ve already tested the coffee juice that Senior drank today. It contains poisonous ingredients that can destroy one’s digestive system. How dare you quibble.”

Qiao An was stunned. Someone really wanted to hurt Huo Xiaoran?

No, if the other party wanted to hurt Huo Xiaoran, he shouldn’t have hit him so lightly. From the looks of it, the target of the other party should be her.

Qiao An looked at the lively Huo Xiaoran and spat out angrily, “Despicable.”

Huo Xiaoran was slightly stunned.

This was the first time in his life that he had been evaluated like this.

He eyed Qiao An suspiciously. “It really wasn’t you?”

Qiao An said, “If it were me, I wouldn’t just add this dosage. I would at least let you shed a few layers of skin.”

Huo Xiaoran saw the flames of anger flickering in her eyes and fell into deep thought.

The panic in Lu Mo’s eyes flashed. She walked to Huo Xiaoran’s side and pretended to have deep feelings for him. She said worriedly, “Senior, someone beside you actually tried to hurt you. I feel extremely terrified just thinking about it. I’d rather kill the wrong person than miss out on this matter. You have to investigate carefully. If you find out, you can’t let her off. You have to fire her.”

Huo Xiaoran looked at Lu Mo’s worried expression and thought about how Lu Mo had been afraid for him all these years. He was touched.

Huo Xiaoran held Lu Mo’s hand and comforted him gently, “Momo, don’t worry. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

Qiao An saw their intertwined hands and felt a strong sourness in her limbs.

She felt inexplicably sad.

Qiao An realized that her feelings for Huo Xiaoran seemed to have not subsided because of hatred.

She despised herself. How could she harbor love for him when she knew how evil he was?

Qiao An suddenly turned and walked out.

Huo Xiaoran sensed that after Qiao An left, he pulled his hand away from Lu Mo’s. He said to Lu Mo, “There’s no evidence now. Mo Mo, apologize to her and bring her to take a look at the wound on her face. Girls like to look beautiful. It would be bad if she has a scar.”

Lu Mo nodded obediently. “Senior Brother, I’ll listen to you.”

Huo Xiaoran nodded.

Lu Mo turned around and walked out of the ward.

When she walked out of the ward, she saw Qiao An standing quietly by the window in the hall.

She walked over and called arrogantly, “Chen Sisi.”

It was completely different from her image as a lackey in front of Huo Xiaoran.

Qiao An gritted her teeth. “Go away.”

Lu Mo sneered. “Hehe, Chen Sisi, how dare you be so rude to me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll ask my senior to fire you?”

Qiao An said, “I wouldn’t bother to stay by his side and serve a blind cripple like him.”

After saying that, Qiao An turned around and looked at Lu Mo firmly. “When I find out who framed me behind my back, don’t worry. I’ll fire him even before he fires me.”

Lu Mo’s face turned pale.

She forcefully suppressed the panic in her heart. “You’re branding me a criminal.”

Qiao An ignored her and left. She had no intention of resigning, so she had to compromise and go back to serve the CEO.

When Huo Xiaoran saw that Qiao An had returned, his scrutinizing gaze lingered on her face. Seeing the shocking scratches and the edge of the blood seeping out, his heart trembled inexplicably.

Her skin wasn’t naturally dark?

“If I’ve wronged you, I’ll apologize,” Huo Xiaoran suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly.

If only…

Qiao An scoffed. “I’ll prove my innocence.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “The poison is very light. I think it’s just a prank. Let it go.”

Qiao An said stubbornly, “I won’t take the blame for anyone. I won’t suffer any injustice.”

Seeing how determined and angry she was, Huo Xiaoran’s eyes darkened.

Was she really wronged or a drama queen who could win an Oscar?

Although Huo Xiaoran and Qiao An did not get along well, Qiao An still abided by her duty and took good care of him.

It was only when it was time to get off work that Qiao An heaved a sigh of relief.

Huo Xiaoran couldn’t help but frown when she heard her relieved voice.

Was she blatantly despising him?

“Chen Sisi. you’re working overtime tonight.”

The demon king’s voice rang out, scaring Qiao An.

She looked at Huo Xiaoran in fear, her mouth trembling.

“CEO, your fiancée is a doctor. She will arrange a more professional nurse for you. I can’t help you with anything here.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “I’ll give you overtime pay.”

Qiao An almost exploded.

‘Did she look like she was short of money?’

“Why? Are you unwilling?”

Of course, Qiao An didn’t want to.

But she didn’t dare say it.

After all, she had yet to take revenge. If she rashly offended him, it would arouse his vigilance.
