Chapter 287: Love Yourself First
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Luo Wanbai’s apology came so suddenly that Murong Qiao was a little surprised.
Hearing Luo Wanbai’s sincere apology, the remaining grudge in Murong Qiao’s heart disappeared.
“1 forgive you,” she replied.
Murong Qiao’s expression was calm and her words were direct. She didn’t think that Luo Wanbai was an unforgivable bad person.
Perhaps the two of them had had a lot of unpleasant experiences before, but when Murong Qiao saw that her eyes were gradually losing their l.u.s.ter, she felt more sympathy for her.
Now that Luo Wanbai had woken up and was no longer confused, Murong Qiao felt a little relieved.
Luo Wanbai was stunned. “You forgave me so easily?”
She couldn’t believe that Murong Qiao would forgive her so easily.
Murong Qiao didn’t think much of it and only nodded heavily to express her att.i.tude.
“But I went too far before—” Luo Wanbai hesitated.
It wasn’t that she didn’t know how much damage her arrogant and piercing tone would cause. It was precisely because she knew that she found it even more unbelievable after hearing Murong Qiao’s words.
Before Luo Wanbai could finish her sentence, she felt a caress on her head.
Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows. “It’s all in the past. What else is there to say?”
Her tone was relaxed, as if she had grown a pair of wings. Luo Wanbai felt her mood soar as well, wandering in the soft clouds.
“1 hope you won’t take it too hard.” Murong Qiao emphasized this point. “Before loving others, it’s more important to learn to love yourself.”
It was rare for her to be a life mentor. Murong Qiao couldn’t help but say this very emotional and correct thing.
Luo Wanbai looked at her in a daze. Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes. The sour feeling made her hurriedly lower her head. The clean tears that she thought were flowing out could not stop flowing again.
“Why do you have so many tears…” Murong Qiao complained helplessly.
Unfortunately, she didn’t have a second packet of tissues.
Fortunately, Luo Wanbai calmed down very quickly this time. After Murong Qiao comforted her, she quickly composed herself and walked out of the valley.
In addition, it was almost midnight. The two of them were soaked in water, and the wind was cold, so Murong Qiao directly made the decision to let Luo Wanbai follow her into the car.
“It’s still warmer in the car.” Murong Qiao sighed.
After getting into the car, she felt that her body, which had been frozen stiff, had relaxed a lot. Although the gown on her lower body was still wet and uncomfortable, it was better than standing outside in the wind and waiting to catch a cold.
Luo Wanbai sat in the car and only noticed that the hem of Murong Qiao’s gown was wet after she relaxed.
She blushed and felt guilty. She reached out to take off her coat and return it to Murong Qiao, but was immediately pushed back.
“Anyway, don’t think too much. Go home and take a shower and sleep first,” she said casually.
Luo Wanbai couldn’t dissuade her, so she could only accept Murong Qiao’s kindness in silence. However, she made a mental note to repay her in the future.
Although Murong Qiao only felt that the coat was drenched and useless, she would let this wonderful misunderstanding continue.
Murong Qiao asked the chauffeur to send Luo Wanbai home first. After exchanging contact details with the other party, she returned to the Murong residence to sleep.
However, when she woke up the next day, she still inevitably caught a cold.
“… Achoo!” Murong Qiao covered her mouth.
She couldn’t even remember how many times she had sneezed. She had used up an entire packet of tissues.
It was rare to see Murong Qiao with a cold, so when she came to the company today, she attracted the attention of many people.
Even Jiang Chi, who was reporting his work, couldn’t help but stop talking. He looked at Murong Qiao with concern and thought about buying some medicine for his boss later.
Murong Qiao coughed lightly. “It’s fine. Continue.”
Her eyes reddened, and she felt the tip of her nose itch. This was the first time she felt that a cold was so uncomfortable.
“From the traces of the investigation, there are many traces of the car accident that can be confirmed to be man-made. As you said, I also found the transfer certificate and chat records of Huo Xiuyuan bribing the chauffeur of the truck…”
Jiang Chi reported the evidence he had found to Murong Qiao word by word.
When Murong Qiao was suspicious of Huo Xiuyuan last night, she took the time to send this matter to Jiang Chi and asked him to help investigate.
As Murong Qiao expected, Huo Xiuyuan was behind this.
Murong Qiao gritted her teeth. She felt that this person was indeed more annoying than she thought, especially when she thought about how he had gotten along with many girls at the banquet last night. On the surface, he was smiling, but he had secretly hired someone to kill Huo Yichen. His two faces made her feel even more disgusted.
“Get someone to investigate the company under Huo Xiuyuan. It’s enough to make him suffer.” Murong Qiao waved his hand.
Since he wanted Huo Yichen to die so badly so that he could become the head of the family, she had to “help” him.
She just didn’t know how the Huo Family Head would react when he found out that his nephew had such thoughts…
As if imagining some wonderful scene, Murong Qiao smiled.
Anyway, if someone touched Huo Yichen, he wouldn’t have a good time.
Jiang Chi bowed. “I understand.”
But apart from that, there was another matter.
“Someone called Luo Wanbai came to the office to look for you today,” Jiang Chi asked.
Murong Qiao immediately remembered this.
After she comforted Luo Wanbai last night and the other party expressed her determination to start over, Murong Qiao simply invited her to come over to CG company.
Murong Qiao held her forehead helplessly. “1 wanted her to rest a little.”
She didn’t expect Luo Wanbai to come over so soon, so she didn’t tell Jiang Chi.
“Arrange for her to work in the operations department. There’s no need to take special care of her,” Murong Qiao instructed.
She supported her chin with one hand and flipped through her chat history with Luo Wanbai.
According to Luo Wanbai, she had previously worked in a similar company under the Luo family. It should be easy for her to get used to it.
However, Murong Qiao did not give her special treatment just because she pitied Luo Wanbai. Her company did not provide for idle people.
Moreover, she felt that Luo Wanbai was more willing to rely on her own efforts to win the corresponding respect.
Murong Qiao added, “You don’t have to help me arrange my schedule in the afternoon.”
She planned to visit Huo Yichen today.
Jiang Chi responded and left. He also placed all the doc.u.ments that Murong Qiao needed to deal with on her desk.
Looking at the pile of doc.u.ments in front of her, Murong Qiao sighed heavily.
As expected, being a boss wasn’t as easy as she had imagined.
However, on the other hand, Murong Qiao also felt satisfied when she saw the company thriving, especially when the artists under her were especially hardworking.
She smoothly signed her name at the end of the doc.u.ment. Then, she heard her cell phone vibrate.
[Qiaoqiao, give me five thousand yuan.]
With this tone, Murong Qiao knew that it was Zheng Yue without even looking at the sender’s name.
Murong Qiao couldn’t think of anyone else who could ask her for money so casually and directly.
She picked up her phone and transferred the money to the other party. Then, she saw Zheng Yue send a photo of herself.
Probably because she had been eating well recently, Zheng Yue looked especially round in this selfie.
It was the kind that one becomes when they become well to do..
