The marriage battle is endless, the boss is getting more and more brave!

Chapter 266 Lu Hailan's Funeral
After more than ten hours of flight, Xiao Yan took Qiao Mo to the reserved hotel.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Qiao Mo was so tired that he slumped on the big soft bed. He tilted his head worriedly and asked Xiao Yan who was packing his luggage: "Ah Yan, we shouldn't be going out today, right?"

"I'm tired enough today, I'll go out tomorrow after enough rest."

Xiao Yan's original intention was not to take Qiao Mo out for a real trip, but to avoid the right and wrong in Haicheng, and more importantly...

This time, let her stay away from him completely.

Only then did Jomo feel relieved, "That's good."

She has an eight-month-old belly, as if she is about to give birth anytime, anywhere, and she really doesn't dare to walk around outside.

After Xiao Yan packed her luggage, she also lay on the big bed, put her long arms around her, rubbed her hair and asked, "Do you want to take a bath?"

It was winter at this time, and Qiao Mo didn't sweat. What's more, she was really tired and didn't want to move anymore. She shook her head, clenched her fists, and thumped his chest, "Go take a bath, I want to take a bath today." Be lazy for a while."

Xiao Yan smiled lightly, and rarely agreed.

Usually, if she said she would not take a bath, Xiao Yan would definitely say seriously that he didn't want to dirty the child, then he would hug her and go into the bathroom to wash together.

Xiao Yan lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Then I'll take a bath first."

"Well, let's go."

After Xiao Yan entered the bathroom, Qiao Mo turned on the TV. After tuning a few channels, he found that there was nothing to watch, so he planned to turn it off.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's cell phone on the table vibrated.

Jomo yelled twice into the bathroom, "Ayan, your phone is ringing."

However, the sound of water in the bathroom covered Qiao Mo's voice.

Qiao Mo didn't want to answer the call at first, but planned to ask Xiao Yan to call back after he came out.

But the phone kept ringing, Qiao Mo looked at the caller ID, it was Zhao Qian.

In case the company is in a hurry...

Jomo took the phone and answered it.

Before she had time to speak, the voice on the other end said anxiously: "Boss, Lu Hailan died tonight in the hospital after rescue efforts failed."

Qiao Mo was taken aback, and her fingers holding the phone jumped slightly.

There was something wrong with Zhao Qian over there, "BOSS? BOSS? Are you listening?"

The mobile phone in Qiao Mo's hand suddenly slipped from his ear and fell to the ground.

It hit the soft carpet and let out a muffled cry of mourning.

Zhao Qian on the other end of the phone seemed to realize something, and immediately hung up the phone.

Qiao Mo's whole body seemed to be frozen, and her mind was blank, only one thought was buzzing——

Mom is dead.

……

When Xiao Yan came out of the bathroom, he was holding a towel in his hand, and lowered his head to wipe the water stains on his hair.

"Xiao Mo, do you want to take a bath too?"

As soon as he walked over, he saw the dropped mobile phone under his eyelids.

His eyes darkened.

What should come will always come.

Under the cover of the towel, his thin lips even curled slightly, a little helpless and a little self-deprecating.

When he looked up, he had already seen Jomo sitting on the edge of the bed with dull eyes, staring straight at the dropped mobile phone on the carpet.

Xiao Yan opened his lips slightly, as shrewd as he was, how could he not guess what Qiao Mo might already know.

He walked over, bent down, and picked up the phone on the carpet.

The atmosphere was silent and dignified, Xiao Yan held the mobile phone in his hand, got up, and quietly looked at Qiao Mo who was sitting by the bed, who was completely stiff.

Xiao Yan smiled lightly, he reached out to touch Qiao Mo who was sitting by the bed, and rubbed her hair, "Xiao Mo, what's wrong?"

As usual, there are no flaws.

Qiao Mo raised his head slowly, his eyes were red, even though he didn't shed tears, he held back the tears, which were in his eyes, and he was on the verge of falling.

Her clear eyes met his.

Qiao Mo felt stuck in his throat: "I, my mother... my mother..."

Xiao Yan still curled his lips slightly, unable to see any different emotions, "What's wrong with your mother?"

Qiao Mo's hand in the pajamas around his waist suddenly tightened, her eyes stretched out, showing fear, "My mother... Is my mother dead?"

Those last two words, dead, are almost too light to be light, like a question, and like asking yourself.

In Xiao Yan's eyes, the light dimmed instantly.

Even though he already knew that this moment would come sooner or later, he was still caught off guard when it really came.

"Your mother is fine, why did she die?" Xiao Yan looked at her and said calmly.

Qiao Mo's hand was trembling badly. She grabbed the mobile phone in his hand and said in a choked voice, "Assistant Zhao...Assistant Zhao called and said that my mother's rescue was ineffective...Ayan, help me make sure Just a moment...it must be a misunderstanding, right? My mother is fine...why do you want to rescue her...?"

How come, so suddenly.

"Okay, I'll call and ask again."

In front of Qiao Mo, Xiao Yan called again.

The whole process lasted only a short 2 minutes, and Qiao Mo's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan without blinking.

There was panic, anxiety, and fear in her eyes... It seemed that she was afraid that the upcoming answer would make her despair or even a fatal blow.

After Xiao Yan hung up the phone, he took a deep breath and looked at Qiao Mo beside the bed calmly. He bent over and knelt in front of her on one knee, holding her trembling little hand with his big hand, "Xiao Mo, listen to me .”

"It's a misunderstanding, isn't it? My mother didn't die at all, nothing happened at all, Ayan, you say... don't you?"

There was almost a bleak smile on Qiao Mo's pale face, but that smile was too weak.

Xiao Yan held her little hand tightly, feeling the nerves on each of her fingers jump violently.

"Xiao Mo, Assistant Zhao didn't lie to you, and this matter is not a misunderstanding."

Qiao Mo suddenly took her hand out of his palm and struggled to get it out. She screamed, "You lied to me!"

The tears Qiao Mo held back in her eyes finally rushed down, her eyes were red, her lips trembled slightly, she looked thin and pitiful, "A Yan, I beg you...don't lie to me. Don't make fun of me...okay ?”

She really can't stand such jokes.

She clearly saw Lu Hailan in good condition the few times before, how could she pass away in the blink of an eye?

This must not be true.

Qiao Mo stood up, her shoulders trembled uncontrollably, Xiao Yan pressed her into his arms, stroked her hair with his big hands, and calmed her emotions.

Qiao Mo tightly clutched the cloth in front of his chest, gritted his teeth, and restrained himself from crying, but that weak cry made Xiao Yan feel even more distressed.

Lu Hailan is Qiao Mo's biological mother. Even though mother and daughter don't get along day and night like ordinary mother and daughter, the blood relationship is so wonderful.With Lu Hailan's death, it is impossible for Jomo not to be hit.

It's just that, next...Jomo may be hit more than she imagined.

Qiao Mo cried for a long time leaning in his arms, she bit her lip and said, "Ayan, let's go back to China to send mother off for the last time, shall we...?"

The hand that comforted her had stopped.

An unkind male voice came from above the head, "I have already asked Zhao Qian to take care of your mother's funeral, and your brother will definitely see him off. We will wait for this matter to pass before we go back."

Jomo, who was leaning against his arms, was startled suddenly.

She never expected that he would say such a thing.

Qiao Mo stared at the man in front of him incredulously, and felt that no matter how domineering a man Xiao Yan was, at least he was reasonable.

Her biological mother passed away, which biological daughter would not go back to see her off?
Even if it's a big deal, they have to go back to see them off, besides, they are just out for a trip, why don't they go back?

Qiao Mo frowned and looked at him with red eyes, "Xiao Yan, what do you mean?"

Or is it because Lu Hailan and the Xiao family have a grudge, so Xiao Yan even refused to go to Lu Hailan's funeral?

Xiao Yan let go of the hand holding her, with an indifferent expression, without any emotions, "literally."

Jomo's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him disappointedly. She thought that if she was sad, he would be sad too.

But why, on his face, she can't see the slightest expression of his worrying about her and feeling sorry for her?

"Xiao Yan, what on earth do you mean?"

Xiao Yan turned around, turned his back to her, and said in a cold voice, "If you really want to go back to see your mother, go back."

Qiao Mo opened his lips slightly, only to realize that he couldn't say a word.

His tone was so casual, and he didn't even have the minimum respect for a dead person.

"Xiao Yan...you, are you serious?"

He's sure he's not joking with her?

Lu Hailan's death, this huge wave, in Qiao Mo's heart, has not been completely digested and calmed down. Then, the bomb dropped by Xiao Yan made her fall into a deeper abyss.

Obviously, they were fine just now, why all of a sudden, everything is different?
"I'm not kidding you. Your mother regards our Xiao family as a deadly enemy. I don't want to go to her funeral."

Xiao Yan's words were so straightforward, no matter how transparent and understanding Qiao Mo was, he couldn't manage his emotions at this point, so he looked at it rationally.

When he said these words, he was undoubtedly giving her a choice, the choice between Lu Hailan and Xiao Yan.

Qiao Mo pursed his lips and smiled sadly, "Even now, do you want me to make a choice?"

Lu Hailan is gone, what is he still fussing about?
"Jomo, maybe one day, when you know the truth of the matter, you probably won't ask me so much. Go back and send your mother off. This is what you should do."

Qiao Mo frowned deeper and deeper, he didn't understand what he said.

And then, Xiao Yan didn't intend to answer any of her questions.

Jomo was like the one he had abandoned, just like in Vienna, she was left alone.

……

After returning to China, after more than ten hours of flying, Qiao Mo got out of the airport and met Rong Chengmo and his assistant.

Qiao Mo didn't know why Rong Chengmo was waiting here, let alone how Rong Chengmo knew where she was.

It's just that Lu Hailan's death had a great impact on Qiao Mo, making her unable to think about other issues for the time being.

Rong Chengmo opened the car door, "Get in the car, your mother's funeral is about to begin."

Qiao Mo's face was as pale as paper, and he pursed his lips a few times. Finally, without saying anything, he got into Rong Chengmo's car.

The moment she lost Lu Hailan, Qiao Mo realized belatedly that she also lost Xiao Yan completely.
