Chapter 248: Chapter 147: The Woman Calls Off the Wedding! Leaves the Country with Her Girlfriend

Xiaozhang offered a brief explanation to the utterly bewildered Wei Luyao.

Afterward, Wei Luyao followed Xiaozhang to Zhao Yalan’s office in a daze.

"Hello, Lawyer Zhao."

She greeted Zhao Yalan respectfully.

Lawyer Zhao was skilled enough to be a partner at a Red Circle firm; she simply had no need for it.

"Hello. From now on, you’ll be working on my team. I’ll act as your supervising lawyer."

Zhao Yalan said with a gentle smile.

Xiaozhang, standing to the side, heard Lawyer Zhao’s gentle tone, his eyes filling with surprise and confusion.

’Who in the world is this girl?’

’Not only did Lawyer Zhao personally agree to be her supervising lawyer, but she’s also being so polite to her?’

’Having Lawyer Zhao as her supervising lawyer would be a massive boost to her future career.’

’This was an opportunity countless interns would kill for.’

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhao! I’ll do my absolute best to complete all the tasks and projects you assign me!"

Hearing this, Wei Luyao immediately thanked Zhao Yalan, thrilled and excited.

She knew exactly what it meant for Lawyer Zhao to personally transfer her to her own team and act as her supervising lawyer.

’Could the wish I made at Jing’an Temple with Chen Mo over the weekend have come true?’

’Are the heavens really that efficient?’

"Xiaozhang, you may leave for now. I’d like to have a chat with her."

Zhao Yalan glanced at Xiaozhang.

"Of course, Lawyer Zhao."

Xiaozhang took the hint and left the office, closing the door securely behind him.

"You don’t have to thank me. You should be thanking your boyfriend."

Zhao Yalan didn’t beat around the bush and told her the reason directly.

"Thank my boyfriend?"

Wei Luyao was taken aback for a moment, a flash of surprise in her beautiful eyes.

’Her boyfriend... that could only be Chen Mo.’

’They had kissed and gotten close, but they hadn’t officially declared themselves a couple.’

’But in her heart, she already considered Chen Mo her boyfriend.’

’Was Lawyer Zhao treating her so well because of Chen Mo?’

"Yes. Chen Mo did our family a great favor. In fact, he just had lunch at our house today."

"When he found out I work at this firm, he specifically asked me to look after you."

"I didn’t even know who Wei Luyao was at first, but he told me you were the prettiest girl at our firm. Seeing you now, I can tell he wasn’t wrong."

Zhao Yalan smiled and briefly explained the situation.

Of course, as someone with more life experience, she had embellished Chen Mo’s words a little.

A young woman would surely love to hear such things.

"So that’s why..."

A look of sudden realization dawned on her youthful, pretty face. No wonder Lawyer Zhao had suddenly offered to be her supervising lawyer.

It was all because of Chen Mo.

At this thought, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude and deep affection.

"You can head back to work. You have some demanding tasks ahead of you," Zhao Yalan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhao! I’ll work hard!"

Wei Luyao walked out of Zhao Yalan’s office and moved her personal belongings and office supplies to the workspace for Lawyer Zhao’s team.

By now, the news that Zhao Yalan had personally transferred her to her team and was acting as her supervising lawyer had spread throughout the firm.

Many people watched her with curiosity, wondering what kind of magic she possessed to attract a major figure like Lawyer Zhao.

Wei Luyao handed off her previous assignments, and Lawyer Zhao hadn’t given her any new work yet.

So, she went to the stairwell and took out her phone to call Chen Mo.

"Hello?"

The call connected, and Chen Mo’s voice came through.

"Chen Mo, thank you!"

"Lawyer Zhao moved me to her team, and she’s personally going to be my supervising lawyer!"

Wei Luyao told Chen Mo, her voice full of gratitude and happiness.

"Then you’ll have to give it your all."

She heard his gentle encouragement from the other end of the line.

"Chen Mo."

"Hm?"

"I miss you..."

Back in the villa.

Hearing Wei Luyao’s words of longing over the phone, a wide smile spread across Chen Mo’s face.

"I’ll come pick you up after work."

"Mhm!"

After hanging up, Chen Mo lay down to rest for a while.

「Soon, it was afternoon.」

He checked the stock market after it closed.

Xinggui Film and Television had hit the 10% limit up again, its performance still incredibly strong.

His earnings from this stock alone reached 8.28 million today.

Including the profits from his other stocks, it was another day with earnings exceeding 10 million.

"This is a great feeling."

He couldn’t help but marvel.

The feeling of watching his wealth grow day by day was simply intoxicating.

After a while, he checked the time. It was almost the end of the workday.

He drove toward Chengli Law Firm.

A little over twenty minutes later, he drove into the underground parking garage of the building where Chengli was located.

The workday was over by then, and many people were coming to the garage to get their cars.

"I’m in the underground garage."

Sitting in his car, he sent a WeChat message to Wei Luyao.

"Okay, I’ll be right down!"

Wei Luyao replied quickly.

Just as he put his phone down, he happened to see Zhao Yalan also arriving in the garage, ready to drive home.

"Aunt Zhao."

Chen Mo got out of his car and called out to her.

"Chen Mo? What are you... oh, here to pick up your little girlfriend, are you?"

Zhao Yalan was also slightly taken aback to see Chen Mo and was just about to ask what he was doing here.

But she quickly put two and two together—his girlfriend was an intern at their firm. She immediately looked at him with a teasing smile.

"Yeah, I’m here to pick her up."

Chen Mo smiled slightly and nodded.

"She’s a sweet and simple girl. Very nice."

Zhao Yalan said, recalling her impression of Wei Luyao.

Chen Mo just smiled without saying anything.

"Chen Mo... Oh, hello, Lawyer Zhao!"

Wei Luyao came out of the elevator and, upon seeing Chen Mo, was about to call out his name, only to see him chatting with Lawyer Zhao. She immediately shifted to a respectful greeting for Zhao Yalan.
