Marrying the Wrong Husband, Yet Becoming the Enviable Lady of a Wealthy Family

After losing her memory, Mo Xiaotuo enters a flash marriage to continue managing her property but mistakenly marries Luo Chen instead. They agree to divorce after one year. Not long after the weddi...

Chapter 117 Being Chased Halfway

"What's wrong, eldest daughter-in-law? Have you met Xiao Tuo before?" Old Master Luo noticed that his eldest son and daughter-in-law's gaze towards Xiao Tuo was strange.

Huang Silan came to her senses and looked at her father-in-law, saying, "Dad, I think I have actually seen Xiao Tuo before. But that's not right, the one I saw wasn't as young as Xiao Tuo, but she looked so much like him."

"Really? When did Auntie meet someone like that?" Mo Xiaotuo remembered that Grandma Luo had said that her biological mother had disappeared. Could that person be her biological mother?

Seeing how nervous Xiao Tuo was and how everyone was looking at her, Huang Silan thought for a moment and replied, "Three years ago, at an auction in J country, that woman had a very good temperament. Count Deshill was sitting next to her. They were auctioning a necklace called Death Necklace."

Death, death!

Mo Xiaotuo felt a headache coming on. Why did this name sound so familiar, yet she couldn't remember it at all?

"Don't overthink it, I'll have someone look into it for you." Luo Chen patted the little wildcat's shoulder, worried that he would feel uncomfortable if he used his brain too much.

Um!

Mo Xiaotuo could only nod.

After the little incident, they waited for the children to return before starting dinner. This time, the entire Luo family was present. Now everyone knew the story between Luo Chen and Mo Xiaotuo, and everyone was gradually accepting Mo Xiaotuo.

However, although Wan Qiqi outwardly accepted it, she would not allow her son to marry a woman of such unclear background.

After dinner, the family chatted in the yard while several boys took fishing rods to go fishing.

Mo Xiaotuo and Grandma Luo followed behind, walking the dog as they went, while Luo Zeyuan and Luo Chen discussed the Feng family's issues with their uncles and elders.

"The Feng family's goal is simple: to disrupt the balance of power in City A and then take advantage of the situation." Luo Zeyuan saw through their scheme.

"My people have already started making their move. Big brother, are your men in position?" Luo Chen asked his older brother.

Luo Zeyuan elegantly put down his cup, smiled slightly and said, "Since they want the territory in City A so much, then I'll go and take their stronghold. Anyway, the Feng family isn't as harmonious as it seems on the surface. The eldest branch wants to claim credit, while the second branch, though seemingly low-key, has done a lot behind the scenes."

"Moreover, there's also the third wife, who's never home and has almost been forgotten by the world. I heard she's come back, and she even brought back an illegitimate daughter named Feng Feifei." He glanced at Achen deliberately as he said this.

Luo Chen's heart skipped a beat; he did feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Previously, the Feng family only had one eldest daughter, Feng Mingzhu. Although her maternal grandfather didn't particularly like Mingzhu, he was never too strict with her. In addition, her maternal uncle and aunt doted on her, and she also had two cousins, so Mingzhu's life in the Feng family was quite comfortable.

However, now that the real Miss Feng has been brought back, Mingzhu's life will likely become much more difficult.

"Ah Chen, remember this: no matter how important that woman from the Feng family was to you in the past, that's all in the past. The most important woman in your life now is your wife, Mo Xiaotuo." Old Master Luo instructed Ah Chen word by word, urging him not to lose such a good wife because of that woman from the Feng family.

Luo Chen nodded in understanding, but he still couldn't suppress his worry for his cousin.

"Achen, you can't do something reckless at a time like this." Not to mention the old man, Luo Zeyuan was also worried that Achen would not be able to let go of that woman.

“Grandpa, Big Brother, I know what I’m doing,” Luo Chen replied to the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Luo and Luo Zeyuan's hearts skipped a beat; it was an ambiguous answer.

Around ten o'clock, Luo Chen called Mo Xiaotuo to go home. The trunk of the car was full of things, all of which were gifts that his uncle and his family had brought back from abroad.

Looking at the car full of stuff, Mo Xiaotuo worried that she wouldn't be able to get it upstairs later.

On the way back, we encountered a car accident. A large truck crashed into the Lamborghini, which was completely deformed, and there was blood at the scene.

The car was stuck in traffic, and Luo Chen noticed that many of the surrounding lights were broken. The area was already somewhat remote, and with half the lights off, it looked eerie.

Rumble!

After a clap of thunder, a sudden downpour began.

Two cars pulled up behind them, sandwiching them between them. Luo Chen had sensed something was wrong earlier and had already called his older brother and Yu Chao. Now, blocked by the two cars, he looked warily at Little Wildcat: "If we encounter any danger, just run. Don't worry about me. Just run for your life, understand?"

"Ah Chen!" Mo Xiaotuo saw Mr. Luo's worried expression for the first time.

"Remember what I said!" Luo Chen quietly held the little wildcat's shoulders.

Slap! Slap!

Someone had already started hitting the glass with something.

Bang bang bang!

The muffled gunshot rang out, and Mo Xiaotuo's entire nervous system suddenly tensed up.

What is that sound?

Why did she suddenly feel so excited? She clenched her fists and frowned slightly.

The commotion outside was getting louder and louder. This car had bulletproof glass; if it had ordinary glass, they would be finished by now.

"Sit tight!" Luo Chen shouted, then reversed the car forcefully, intending to back out first and then drive back.

Neither car expected Luo Chen's car to turn back, and one of the assassins who had already climbed onto the car was thrown off.

Mo Xiaotuo glanced back; there was a bend behind them. If Mr. Luo's driving skills weren't good, they might very well end up over the cliff.

After Luo Chen stepped back a few meters, he suddenly made a sharp turn and reversed the car.

Seeing them trying to escape, one of the assassins fired shots at the car wheels. Knowing they couldn't get far, Luo Chen suddenly stopped the car at a bend, got out, and pulled the little wildcat into the woods.

After entering the woods, Mo Xiaotuo instinctively quickened his pace.

Luo Chen was worried that the little wildcat wouldn't be able to keep up, but he didn't expect her to be even faster than him.

Bang bang bang!

Gunshots rang out, and the assassins were in hot pursuit.

"You find a place to hide, and I'll try to distract them. We'll buy time, and Big Brother and Yu Chao will come to rescue us." After saying this, Luo Chen worriedly touched the little wildcat's face.

Um!

Mo Xiaotuo nodded, and then Mr. Luo hid her in a thick patch of grass.

Luo Chen turned and ran into the woods. Several assassins heard the noise and gave chase. However, they hadn't gone far when the leader called them back: "Stop chasing! Luo Chen is trying to distract us. Don't forget who our target is!"

After hearing their conversation, the assassins immediately began searching for Mo Xiaotuo in the woods. Mo Xiaotuo was hiding nearby and was surprised to hear their conversation.

Who is it?

Who wants her dead?

When did her life become so valuable that so many assassins were sent to her?

"There!" someone noticed the voice.

"Take them alive, the bounty is high!" the lead assassin ordered, and everyone put away their weapons.

They felt they were wasting their talents dealing with a delicate and frail young girl.
