Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1444: Chapter 1444: They’re All Using You

The woman in the mirror looked pale and haggard.

Faint dark circles lay under her eyes, making her look somewhat worn out.

Especially her eyes, they shimmered with a profundity that belied her age.

They say by looking into someone’s eyes, you can see all they’ve been through.

She was very young, yet just by looking at her eyes, one could tell she’d been through a lot...

She had aged beyond her years.

With a touch of sorrow, Mo Lan lowered her head and finally turned on the faucet to start washing up.

Once she finished, she opened the door and stepped out of the bedroom.

She wasn’t sure where this place was, perhaps it was one of Qi Ruigang’s residences.

Outside the door stood a maid.

Seeing her come out, the maid respectfully said, ”Madam, the young master is downstairs waiting for you to dine.”

”Waiting for me?” Mo Lan was surprised. Would he actually wait for her to have a meal?

The sun must be rising from the west.

With a smile, the maid said, ”Yes, the young master said he would wait for you to wake up before dining.”

What is Qi Ruigang up to now?

Following the maid downstairs, Mo Lan saw him sitting at the bottom of the stairs, frowning and talking on the phone in a serious tone.

”Have you found out who did it?!”

Lifting his gaze and seeing her come down, he said indifferently, ”Okay, I understand, that’s all.”

After hanging up the phone, he stood up and walked towards Mo Lan.

”Lanlan, you seem much better,” Qi Ruigang said with a slight smile as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

He was smiling, but it was a hollow smile.

His gaze was cold and without warmth. Every time she looked into his eyes, she felt like she was being watched by a venomous snake.

”Tomorrow is Dad’s birthday, when are we going back?” she asked him nonchalantly.

”What’s the rush? The party is tomorrow night, it’s not too late to go back tomorrow.”

Why wait until tomorrow?

She didn’t want to be alone with him anymore.

”As his eldest daughter-in-law, I should help prepare. How could I possibly wait until tomorrow? Let’s go back today; maybe there’s still something I can help with.”

Qi Ruigang gave a faint smile, ”Isn’t your sister-in-law still there? She’s enough to handle the preparation on her own.”

”But I am the eldest sister-in-law, and she’s newly married... how can we let her do all the work?”

”Such a heartless person, why bother considering her feelings?”

”Heartless?” She couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Qi Ruigang stared at her, laughing coldly, ”How much have you suffered for her sake? And yet, she hasn’t even made a single phone call, showing no concern for whether you live or die. Now you see her true face, don’t you?”

Mo Lan’s eyes widened in shock—

She had never seen someone so despicable and shameless.

Clearly, it was he who had harmed them, yet now he was accusing Yufei of wrongdoing.

What a joke, it’s like the thief yelling ’catch the thief’, turning right into wrong!

”Lanlan, although I may not have treated you well, I am still your husband, and husband and wife are one. Look, you spoiled my plan last night, and I didn’t kill you; it shows my reluctance to hurt you. No matter how nice they are to you, they never cared for your life or death. These people, they’re actually just using you.”

”Using me?”

Qi Ruigang nodded, his tone cold, ”Yes. They use you, first getting on good terms with you, so you trust them. And then they use you to deal with me and achieve their goals. In reality, those people are nothing but a bunch of hypocritical, petty individuals.”

Mo Lan’s eyes flickered slightly, ”It’s not like you say. They didn’t use me, nor did they target you through me! They’re simply... they just pity me...”
