Lu Han felt extremely awkward.
Back then, Lu Qi was willful and insisted on pursuing Yu Yang so she had already broken off the engagement with the Mo family. At that time, Mo Chen was overseas. Does he not know about it?
"Mr. Mo, I'm very sorry. Actually, your engagement with Lu Qi..."
"I want to hear what she has to say."
Mo Chen's expression darkened slightly. His gaze met with Lu Qi's as if he was waiting for her answer.
Lu Qi's eyes turned as she pondered. Compared to Yu Yang, who had once hurt and used the original owner of the body, Mo Chen was undoubtedly the better choice.
No matter how she looked at it, Mo Chen was better.
Moreover, Yu Yang was going to break off the engagement soon so she couldn't afford to humiliate herself.
Lu Qi raised her eyebrows slightly and politely stopped Lu Han from rejecting. She said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Dad, since it's an engagement between the elders of the two families, I'm willing to fulfill my promise to marry Mo Chen."
Lu Han and Xie Jiao turned their heads and stared at her in shock, did their daughter fall and break her head?
How could she have changed so much in one night?
Mo Chen raised his thin lips, wanting to arrange for the housekeeper to discuss the specifics with Lu Han.
Lu Nuannuan's eyes widened.
What the hell? Lu Qi's ex-fiancé, had gone abroad a few years ago so everyone thought he wouldn't come back, but not only did he come back, he also wanted to fulfill his engagement with Lu Qi?
How could she let Lu Qi take advantage of this!
Lu Nuannuan reminded him "out of kindness, "Mr. Mo, Lu Qi had an affair with some wild man last night, and she lost her virginity!"
Lu Nuannuan winked suggestively and stared at Lu Qi with a mocking expression. "If you marry a woman like Lu Qi who doesn't know self-respect, I'm afraid you'll be laughed at by the public!"
"I'm also saying this for your sake so I hope you can reconsider and not make a hasty decision."
Lu Han's expression was grave as he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart. He gave Mo Chen a forced smile and wanted to explain.
He didn't expect Lu Nuannuan to be so rude. As a rich and famous family, she had to keep any scandals in her heart and keep them a secret!
Otherwise, if word got out, the entire family would be affected.
Didn't Lu Wei teach her?
A faint smile appeared on Mo Chen's lips. He unbuttoned his cufflinks and said to the housekeeper in an indifferent voice, "Go and take a look at her."
The housekeeper nodded and walked to the bedside, placing two fingers on Lu Qi's wrist.
The ward quieted down. Everyone held their breaths as they stared at the housekeeper and Lu Qi.
Xie Jiao nervously wrung her hands, her eyes red with anxiety. She was afraid that the housekeeper's diagnosis would hurt Lu Qi's self-esteem.
"Mr. Mo, Ms. Lu Qi is just frightened and her mind is unstable so she needs to rest peacefully."
"But there's nothing wrong with her body, and she didn't have any sexual acts like this woman had said."
The housekeeper's answer made Lu Nuannuan's eyes widen. She suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Impossible, she clearly... !"
Mo Chen's eyes were cold as he stared at her. His thin lips curled into a chilling arc. He slowly said, "The Mo family's housekeeper is proficient in medical skills. He examined Lu Qi's body and came to the most authoritative conclusion."
"As for you, you are only the daughter of the second wife of the Lu family, yet you publicly slander Lu Qi and spread rumors to ruin her private life."
"Lu Qi will be the wife of the head of the Mo family in the future. She'll be my wife!"
"Mr. Lu, you should know the rules of the Mo family. You know how we will deal with those who slander the wife of the head of the Mo family, right?"
Mo Chen narrowed his long and narrow eyes. Lu Wei was so scared that his legs went weak and his whole body trembled.
The atmosphere in the ward was heavy. Lu Han and Xie Jiao exchanged a strange look.
Lu Qi folded her palm into the sleeve of her hospital gown. She looked at Mo Chen curiously. She knew very well that he was backing her up and quelling the rumors. Why?
Was it just because of the engagement between the two families? Or was there a deeper reason behind it?
Lu Wei felt the anger surrounding Mo Chen. He hurriedly grabbed Lu Nuannuan's elbow and whispered to her, "Shut up and stop talking! Apologize to Lu Qi Now!"
Lu Nuannuan was in a bad mood. She gritted her teeth and pointed at Lu Qi before raising her voice and shouting, "She definitely slept with a man!"
"We can call other doctors... Mr. Mo, Lu Qi used to chase Yu Yang and threw herself into his arms several times. She doesn't deserve to be the wife of the head of the Mo family. You..."
Slap! Slap!
Seeing that Lu Nuannuan was going overboard with her words, Lu Wei gave her two tight slaps.
Lu Nuannuan covered her burning cheeks, but Lu Wei directly pressed her shoulders, forcing her to kneel in front of the hospital bed. "Lu Han, Qiqi, it's my fault for not teaching Nuannuan well. Mr. Mo, don't be angry. She definitely won't spout any nonsense anymore!"
Mo Chen's gaze swept past them. Looking at Lu Qi's calm and indifferent eyes, he asked softly, "How do you want to deal with it?"
Lu Qi coughed lightly, and her lips curved into a subtle smile. She said faintly, "Those in our family who don't know better should be taken care of by our family so I won't trouble you."
Mo Chen shrugged. He picked up Lu Qi's phone that was placed on the bedside table, and his slender fingers entered a series of numbers.
"This is my private number. If there's anything, you can contact me at any time."
"I'll be back in a month to marry you."
