The Billionaire’s Brokenhearted Deal

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Heard that Young Master Gu’s First Love Is Qiao Ruoxin? Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Heard that Young Master Gu’s First Love Is Qiao Ruoxin? Banquet hall.

Mo Zhizi was chatting with a friend, but she inexplicably felt a burning gaze on her from behind.

Her smile froze, and she turned around to look.

Indeed, she saw a pair of deep and profound eyes.

Gu Mocheng, with a devil-may-care demeanor, was sitting in a chair nearby, holding a glass of champagne, a mischievous smile on his lips, staring at her.

Mo Zhizi glanced coldly and ignored him.

This Master Gu is really annoying.

At that moment, Mo Chen entered the banquet hall with Qiao Ruoxin on his arm, their figures looking exceptionally well-matched.

Qiao Ruoxin spotted Mo Zhizi immediately, her eyes widening in surprise as she walked over.

“You… you’re the girl from last time…” Qiao Ruoxin couldn’t help but laugh, surprised to encounter her here.

Wasn’t this the girl who warned her at the last banquet when she was almost framed by Qiao Sisi and Bai Xue’s mother? What a coincidence.

Mo Zhizi smiled slightly, “Yes, hello, little sister-in-law.”

Qiao Ruoxin looked unbelievably at Mo Zhizi, “What did you call me?”

Little sister-in-law?

What kind of title was that?

Qiao Ruoxin instinctively looked back at the man behind her, Mo Chen.

Mo Chen furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, “Do you two know each other?”

Mo Zhizi laughed and said, “Brother, have you never mentioned me to your woman?”

Qiao Ruoxin had an epiphany, suddenly understanding everything. So, this was Mo Chen’s cousin, Mo Zhizi?

She laughed, “You’re Mo Zhizi? Mo Chen’s cousin?”

“Yes, that’s right. So the last time I helped you, it wasn’t just out of kindness, but also to maintain the Mo Family’s reputation.”

The confusion in Mo Chen’s eyes deepened as he wrapped his arm around Qiao Ruoxin’s waist, “How did you two meet?”

She whispered a few words into the man’s ear, and the confusion in Mo Chen’s eyes gradually faded, his lips curving into a smile.

The man looked at Mo Zhizi, “Why haven’t I heard you mention this?”

“Helping your woman is helping the Mo Family, there’s nothing worth mentioning. Besides, I’ve also lent you so much money,” said Mo Zhizi, shrugging slightly as if it were nothing.

Qiao Ruoxin was still a bit stunned. So this girl was Mo Chen’s cousin, Mo Zhizi? A cold, noble beauty.

However, Qiao Ruoxin also noticed an annoying pair of eyes – Gu Mocheng, sitting on the side, was looking at her like a wolf eyeing its prey.

“Brother, I’m going to chat with some friends over there,” Mo Zhizi said with a smile, then turned and left.

Qiao Ruoxin turned to Mo Chen, “Is Master Gu interested in your cousin?”

Mo Chen glanced at Gu Mocheng’s behavior, and said coldly, “He’s been coveting her for a long time, but unfortunately, she isn’t interested in him.”

She couldn’t stop laughing, “I didn’t expect Master Gu to fail in pursuing a woman. Doesn’t he always egg you on to make me cry? Aren’t you afraid he’ll do that to your cousin?”

“He wouldn’t dare.”

“You’re right, you’d stand up for your cousin. Hmm? Such a good cousin, pretending to be lovers back in college… tsk tsk…”

Qiao Ruoxin sounded a bit sour.

The man raised his eyebrows and looked down at her delicate face, “Are you jealous?”

“Not at all. Why should I be jealous if you’re being a good cousin? But I must say, your cousin is quite beautiful.”

She had no intention of admitting that she was jealous of a cousin. It would make her seem so petty.

Mo Chen deliberately leaned close to her small face, “Your eyes betray you, you’re just jealous.”

She huffed proudly, turned around, and casually picked up a glass of drink to take a sip.

The next second, Mo Chen suddenly became furious and scolded, “Qiao Ruoxin! Put that down!”

Qiao Ruoxin was startled, “Why are you suddenly so fierce…”

“You know full well you’re pregnant and still dare to drink? Are you looking for death!” Mo Chen said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger, then he snatched the champagne from her hand and put it aside.

Only then did she realize, Oh… she had picked up a glass of champagne.

“Sorry, I didn’t see it just now, I thought it was juice…”

She pouted, looking aggrieved, and carefully hugged the man’s arm, gently shaking it, “Don’t be angry, okay?”

Looking at her sincerely apologetic expression, Mo Chen sighed helplessly and held her small hand in return.

“Let’s go, this place isn’t suitable for you. Are you not hungry? I’ll take you to eat.”

Qiao Ruoxin pouted, wanting to stay at the banquet a while longer, but was forcibly dragged away by the man.

Meanwhile—

Gu Mocheng’s gaze had been lingering on that distant white fairy-like dress, and finally, he downed the rest of the drink in his glass and placed the cup on the table.

Then, he stood up and walked towards Mo Zhizi.

Mo Zhizi just turned around and after seeing him, her eyes immediately turned cold, “Mister Gu, what is it?”

“What’s with that expression? Unhappy to see me?”

This was actually the first time he was so disliked by a woman, dammit…

Mo Zhizi: “What expression do you want me to have? So desperate for women that you become a pervert? Pretending to be Xiaogu, the property front desk? Hah…”

Her words were laced with sarcasm. She could hardly believe that Xiaogu from the property front desk, whom she chatted with every day, was actually Gu Mocheng?? Incredible.

Gu Mocheng’s lips curled up with a rogue’s smile, “Doesn’t this just show my determination to pursue you?”

“I don’t need it, find someone else to chase, thank you.”

Mo Zhizi responded coldly and turned to walk towards the terrace, intending to get some air. She felt a bit suffocated after staying here for too long.

After she got to the terrace, the night wind blew over, tousling her French curls.

Behind her came the man’s deep footsteps, and without looking, she knew it must be that cultured scoundrel, Mister Gu.

“Always spending your brother’s money, aren’t you afraid Qiao Ruoxin will get jealous?”

The man’s deep voice was lazy and sensual, as he casually leaned against a nearby pillar, a rebellious look flashing across his handsome face.noveldrama

Mo Zhizi chuckled lightly, turned her head to look at the handsome face of Gu Mocheng, “I heard, Mister Gu’s first love was Qiao Ruoxin?”

“…”

The roguishness on Gu Mocheng’s face vanished in an instant, he slowly straightened up, his tongue clicking against his back teeth, seemingly unhappy with the topic.

“Who told you that?”

Mo Zhizi’s smile was taunting: “No matter who said it, just tell me if it’s true.”

Gu Mocheng sneered, “What if I say it’s not?”

“Stop lying, your first love was Qiao Ruoxin. Back then, you were at the same school; she was in junior high and you were in high school. You always went to steal glances at her,” Mo Zhizi said.

Gu Mocheng’s temple throbbed violently. How did this girl know so much? Did they know each other before?

“Did we know each other before?”

“Who doesn’t know Mister Gu? The famous person of the school,” Mo Zhizi’s every word was sarcastic.
