The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1316: Chapter 676: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc: Lu Jingchen’s Girlfriend Is Zuo Yuqing

The girl’s words were like she was talking to herself, yet every word was full of sarcasm and self-deprecation.

In reality, she knew very well that no matter how she compared herself to Ning Yan’er, she would always be overshadowed by Ning Yan’er in front of Xi Mohan. freewebnovёl.ƈom

For example, Ning Yan’er always appeared gentle and generous, well-mannered and knowledgeable, whether in front of others or Xi Mohan.

Most importantly, Xi Mohan never disliked Ning Yan’er.

But Ning Wan was different, a complete contrast to Ning Yan’er. To outsiders, she was the unashamed, shameless girl who relentlessly chased after Xi Mohan.

And coincidentally, Xi Mohan disliked her.

So Ning Wan didn’t even know what was worth comparing between herself and Ning Yan’er.

The man directly removed all the bandages from her foot, then lifted his gaze with indifference upon her, his thin lips parting to speak coldly, "Ning Wan, since you have such thoughts in your heart, don’t you think asking me is redundant?"

The man looked at her as if he was gazing at a fool.

Ning Wan, "..." It seemed to make sense, but she was just curious about his thoughts.

...

Ning Wan’s parents’ funeral was quite grand. After all, they had many friends and business partners while they were alive, and they were the president of the Ning Group and Ning Elder’s beloved son and daughter-in-law, naturally attracting many attendees.

The funeral was held at the funeral home with Ning Elder, Ning Wan, and Ning Yan’er’s family present. Guests continuously arrived from morning till afternoon.

Outside the funeral home, a black Maybach was parked there, the driver’s window slightly lowered. A man in a black suit with a white flower pinned to his chest held a cigarette with one hand resting on the car window and the other on the steering wheel.

His deep gaze watched the people and vehicles entering and leaving the funeral home, his expression obscure and unclear.

After some time, a black Bentley Mulsanne parked beside his car, and as the window lowered, Xi Mohan lifted his gaze and immediately saw Lu Jingchen in the driver’s seat and a... woman in the passenger seat.

The woman had a delicate face with light makeup, quite fitting for today’s funeral. She wore an appropriate set of black clothing, giving a sense of easy elegance.

Lu Jingchen directly turned his head towards him, parting his thin lips to speak, "I thought you’d be inside waiting for me; I never expected you to wait here. What’s wrong? Afraid I wouldn’t know the way inside? You’re so considerate to me, it makes me feel quite uneasy..."

Xi Mohan extinguished the cigarette butt in the car’s ashtray, unhurriedly responding to Lu Jingchen, "I’m afraid you’d be blind enough not to recognize the path, disturbing the deceased inside."

Lu Jingchen, "When did you become so sharp-tongued?"

"Mutual exchange." The man replied with an unwavering expression.

Lu Jingchen, "..." Damn, maybe the Xi Mohan he knew is fake.

"Master Xi, it’s been a while." The woman in Lu Jingchen’s car tugged her lips into a faint smile at Xi Mohan, politely greeting.

Xi Mohan responded with a faint "Mm" yet spoke, "I didn’t expect you chose him in the end."

Zuo Yuqing... the most cherished niece of the chairman of the Zuo Group. Orphaned since young, she was raised by the chairman, who, along with his wife, never had children, raising Zuo Yuqing as their own daughter.

So... Whether Zuo Yuqing was considered pitiful for being orphaned was debatable; her aunt and uncle treated her well.

If Zuo Yuqing wasn’t pitiful, she was indeed an orphan, and her relatives weren’t her parents, giving her a unique feeling.

Zuo Yuqing glanced at Lu Jingchen beside her, smiled slightly, and said, "When you meet the right person, you don’t want to hesitate any longer; after all, missing them might mean never having another chance."

The right person...

This word directly entered Xi Mohan’s ears, causing his lips to lift slightly involuntarily.

He’d met someone he felt was right, but that person wasn’t right for him in reality...

...

As it was her parents’ funeral, Ning Wan pretended not to be sad, but after an entire day, she became somewhat numb, not crying.

It wasn’t because she wasn’t sad, but because the sadness felt worse than crying.

"Ning Elder, please accept our condolences."

Just as she bowed to a guest and stood up, a familiar voice sounded in her ear, causing her body to stiffen. The next moment, she felt a tall figure stand before her.

After a slight daze, Ning Wan directly bowed ninety degrees.

However, upon rising again, the man remained still, not waiting for her to speak, yet his voice had already sounded, "Your foot is injured; you shouldn’t stand like this. Do you not want your foot anymore?"

On the side, Ning Elder glanced over, his face filled with concern, "Xiao Wan’s foot is injured? What’s going on?"

Ning Wan’s body stiffened, not expecting Xi Mohan to mention this. She took a deep breath before speaking, "I’m fine."

Though her foot indeed hurt a bit, her heartache overshadowed the sensation, and fearing she’d get tired standing, Ning Elder asked someone to bring a chair for her to rest when tired. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Guests kept arriving, so how could she rest?

Xi Mohan’s face was dark and somber, directly speaking to Ning Elder, "Ning Elder, Ning Wan’s foot is injured and can’t stand for long. Let me take her to see if her injury has worsened."

Ning Elder finally noticed Ning Wan’s bandaged foot; he’d been too busy attending to guests to notice her condition, and he immediately nodded quickly, "Alright, you go ahead, I’ll manage things here. Thank you, Mo Han."

Xi Mohan responded with a faint "Mm," then bent down and lifted Ning Wan in his arms.

Lu Jingchen watched the pair, his deep eyes flickering with an obscure and unclear expression.
