Chapter 399: Date at the Bar

Translator: Lonelytree

Xiao Rui asked for a criminal profile but the man’s description was nothing useful. Even if they got a portrait, the nanny could have changed her appearance easily.

The only lead they had was through Kang Jing. Using Kang Jing’s phone, they found the job agency which introduced her to the nanny. The police found the agency but realized all the info on the nanny was false. After a quick post-case meeting, Ah Ao drove Mo Li home.

“Speaking of, Madam Boss, have you seen the hot topic searches?” Ah Ao surreptitiously studied Mo Li’s expression.?Mo Li is so busy for the past two days, I doubt she has the chance to see that video. This is the first time I realize a man can be so disgusting.

Hearing that, Mo Li frowned as she took out her phone. She saw her name on all the hot searches.

“Mo Li, Luo Cong.”

“Time to fight for true love.”

“Mo Li rejected the engagement.”

“Young Master Luo doing everything to win back his fiance.”

...

“After this news came out, Miss Lu has reached out to him again. Madam Boss, you better be careful.”

Mo Li didn’t think much of it. She clicked on a random link and Luo Cong’s face showed up. He was given an interview. “We were separated when we were young. Our family was struck by a sudden incident and that was why I decided to break off the engagement, we didn’t want to drag down the Mo Family. However, I love Mo Li a lot. We’ve been childhood sweethearts since we were young.”

Luo Cong spoke shamelessly. He looked sincere and serious. Mo Li felt like vomiting but many people bought his acting.

“We don’t blame the Mo Family for not lending a helping hand back then. It was my family’s fault. The Mo Family wasn’t obliged to save us. However, even after so many years, I still remain in contact with Sister Mo Li. If Xiao Yue didn’t expose us, I didn’t want people to know about us so soon because I was afraid that she’d be affected.”

Mo Li watched the whole interview expressionlessly. As she expected, these two were following the script in her mind. Mo Li thought they were quite foolish. Based on Quan Yu’s investigation, Lu Ke wanted to recruit Xiao Yue and Luo Cong to deal with her. So Mo Li had Quan Yu break up the Lu Ke-Xiao Yue alliance. However, Mo Li didn’t predict Xiao Yue would use the history between Mo Li and Luo Cong as a way to distract the press from herself and Chen Shuo.

After all, Mo Li had Quan Yu release the pictures of his meeting with Xiao Yue. Of course, this was done with Quan Yu’s permission. The pictures didn’t show Quan Yu’s face but Lu Ke would know it was him. That instantly turned Lu Ke against Xiao Yue.

If Mo Li was not wrong, Lu Ke would interact further with Luo Cong and Luo Cong would start to harass her.

As she expected, Luo Cong’s call came immediately after Mo Li exited her browser. “Sister Mo Li, I have no idea if you have seen the news recently. I admit that I was acting selfish but this was a chance for the Luo Family to turn things around. I can’t let that slip away. I wish to invite you out to dinner tonight. I hope that you will give me a chance. I have something very important to discuss with you.”

“Okay, send the address to my phone.” Mo Li accepted with a glint glowing in her eyes. These people are interesting.?Do they want to deal with me so eagerly?

...

Night fell and the bar was noisy. In the dance pool, the men and ladies ground together. The youngsters looked ecstatic as the electronic music pounded.

Luo Cong sat on a high stool at the bar counter. Before he was a bouquet of beautiful roses. He looked impatient because Mo Li still hadn’t shown up.

Luo Cong assumed a pretentious girl like Mo Li would pick a dull opera house but when Luo Cong proposed that they go to a restaurant, Mo Li said that she wanted to go to a nightclub. She said she had never been to one and she wanted someone she trusted to show her the ropes.

For the sake of money, Luo Cong agreed readily. However, they had decided to meet at 7 pm, it was now 8 pm and there was still no sign of Mo Li.

Luo Cong sent Lu Ke a message, “Shall I go look for her? Perhaps she’s chickened out?”

Lu Ke read the message and looked at Luo Cong from afar. “Wait, call her again. If no one answers, just tell her that you’ve left. You will reschedule another date with her.”

Luo Cong waved at the bartender as he finished his fourth glass of whiskey. “Another one.”

The bartender stopped to look at Luo Cong.. “Sir, you’ve had quite a lot of drink. Are you sure you don’t want to stop for the night?”
