Mo Yan lowered her head and said again, “After all, our finances are limited, so we have to be more careful in the way we spend money. Fortunately, you didn’t buy it in the end, but you can’t do this again in the future.”

Hearing this, Luo Tao finally understood what she meant. He frowned and asked, “Do you think I have no money?”

Hearing that, Mo Yan hesitantly looked up at Luo Tao’s expression and her voice softened, she explained, “I’m not blaming you... I know that you wanted to help me, but there are many things at home that need to be fixed. Even if you have money, you can use it on more important things.”

For some reason, after hearing the word “home” come out from her mouth, Luo Tao felt touched. The corners of his mouth curled up and he replied, “Got it.”

Luo Tao’s reply was short. Mo Yan thought that he was in a bad mood. She quickly added, “When I get my dowry back, we will have more money to spend. It’s just that before we earn money, we can’t spend money extravagantly.”

If she married Luo Tao, her father had promised to give her a dowry of 500,000 yuan. As long as she got the dowry, she would have the money to pay for the treatment of her mother’s illness and send her brother to school. Her financial situation would not be as dire as it was now.

However, since she was getting this money from taking over the identity of her stepsister, Mo Lian to marry Luo Tao, she could not tell Luo Tao about this.

“Oh?” A playful smile appeared on Luo Tao’s face. He looked straight into Mo Yan’s eyes and said meaningfully, “Spending money extravagantly? Aren’t you pampered in your family? Why are you worried about this?”

Worried that she would be exposed, Mo Yan lowered her head and once again avoided Luo Tao’s gaze. Her heartbeat was as fast as a drum. She mumbled and changed the topic, “You, are you thirsty? I’ll go buy you some water.”

After saying that, Mo Yan hurriedly ran to a nearby convenience store.

Looking at Mo Yan’s figure, Luo Tao chuckled. At this moment, his phone vibrated. He took out his phone and the smile immediately stopped.

“How’s the investigation going?” Luo Tao asked in a deep voice. At this moment, Mo Yan was holding a bottle of mineral water in a freezer in the distance.

“Fourth Master Huo, the investigation is almost done. On the day of the accident, someone did tamper with the brake pads of your car, likely the person whom you are suspecting.” The person on the other end of the phone also lowered his voice.

“Yes, continue to investigate. I want concrete evidence.” Luo Tao’s voice was cold.

“Yes, Fourth Master. How long are you going to stay in that village? When will you return to the capital?”

Luo Tao rubbed the space between his brows and looked at Mo Yan who was running over not far away. He said lightly, “We’ll see.”

After hanging up the phone, Mo Yan arrived in front of him and handed him a bottle of ice water. Her eyes were sparkling as she said, “I picked ice water on purpose. It’s perfect for a hot day.”

Luo Tao took the bottle of ice water and opened it. He saw Mo Yan asking worriedly, “What’s wrong? You don’t look well.”

She had just come over and saw Luo Tao on the phone. His expression was grave, as if he had encountered some difficult problem.

Luo Tao shook his head and said plainly, “It’s nothing. Let’s go back.”

“Okay.”

Mo Yan responded and followed behind Luo Tao. She looked at the back of his head and felt a little depressed.

Even though they had become husband and wife, there was always a layer of estrangement between her and Luo Tao, which prevented them from confiding in each other and trusting each other.

After returning home, Luo Tao began to focus on exercising. Mo Yan had just finished preparing lunch and placed the dishes on the table. She was calling Luo Tao over to have lunch when she heard a phone ring.

Mo Yan looked at Luo Tao and realized that his expression was neutral. Only then did she realize that it was her phone. She hurriedly wiped the water stains on her hands and jogged to pick up her phone by the bed.

The number on it was her brother’s.

Mo Yan took a deep breath and looked at Luo Tao, who was sitting not far away and preparing to eat. She hurriedly muted her phone and walked out quickly. “You eat first. I’ll go outside to get some fresh air.”

Luo Tao calmly watched Mo Yan walk out of the door a little nervously. Without saying anything, he scooped food for the two of them.

Mo Yan walked to the vegetable patch behind the house. After making sure that Luo Tao could not hear her, she picked up the phone. “Hello? What’s wrong?”

On the other end of the phone, her brother’s voice sounded very anxious. “Mo Yan, mother’s condition has worsened again today. She even vomited blood this morning. The doctor said that they have to carry out the surgery as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late. Did you get the money?”

Mo Yan’s tone was very bitter. “I will get the money as soon as possible for mother’s surgery. Don’t worry, take good care of mother.”
