Chapter 155 A very ambitious existence

"I don't blame Achen. He's deliberately trying to discipline Huo Wan and you." The old man sitting opposite said slowly, "Training isn't a bad thing. It's just—don't you really feel tired?"

Those weathered eyes contained a horror that seemed to see through everything.

"You shouldn't have gotten involved in this."

Jian Mo is not stupid. She leaned forward slightly and said, "Uncle, do you have any good suggestions?"

"A powerful alliance."

In the end, Jian Mo left the teahouse with a smile.

Mo Yi leaned against the wall and smoked, looking at each other with Huo Yixiang's men. When he saw Jian Mo coming out, he immediately followed her.

Jian Mo walked straight out, with Huo Yixiang's last words floating in her mind: "You are always welcome to ask what kind of tea I brewed today."

"That day may never come."

The speed of development in the 21st century is far beyond people's imagination.

Less than an hour later, Huo Qichen called Jian Mo.

He should not have fallen asleep at this time, and should be looking at documents or just finished a conference call.

"I have heard about Huo Yixiang's deeds in many places before. I am just surprised that he is so stupid, why does he still have supporters now?" Jian Mo commented on Huo Yixiang.

Huo Qichen laughed leisurely after hearing this: "It's just a lot of tricks. He can't go back to the past."

When I went to the Huo family, I told her the story about the Huo elephant.

There were two sons in the Huo family of that generation. Huo Qichen’s father was the eldest son after Grandpa Huo, and Huo Yixiang was the second.

So the only ones fighting were Huo Yixiang and Huo's father. Later, when Huo's father passed away, the fight became between Huo Qichen and Huo Yixiang. Over the years, there have been many open and secret fights. In order to seize the central power, Huo Yixiang has been struggling.

This is a very ambitious existence.

But Huo Qi Chen would never have thought that Huo Yixiang would actually dare to set his sights on Jian Mo and the Huo family.

It's outrageous.

He couldn't help but wonder, if Mo Yi hadn't told Jian Mo about this, would she really agree to join forces with Huo Yixiang? The temptation he offered was very attractive.

There were no ifs or ifs. At least when I spoke to her at this moment, she showed no sign of resistance.

Huo Qichen's voice was as gentle as ever: "I'll go back to Haicheng tomorrow."

Jian Mo rejected Huo Yixiang's proposal, but that doesn't mean what Huo Yixiang said was completely wrong.

At least Huo Qichen did deliberately make her make a wasted trip.

He seemed to know that he was in the wrong, and the next day he went to the airport in person to wait for her to get off the plane in the VIP room.

From a distance, I could see the woman's figure vaguely. As I got closer, I felt strange. We had only been separated for a day, but it felt like we hadn't seen each other for a long time. I felt a little timid and a little excited.

Huo Qichen took Jian Mo's suitcase from Mo Yi and went to hold her hand, but Jian Mo seemed to do it on purpose, no, on purpose, and put her hands in her coat pockets. The look she gave the man was innocent and harmless. "What's wrong?"

The secretary and Mo Yi behind him saw Huo Qichen doting and showing weakness, "Wrong."

Then he said sorry, his voice was not loud enough for only a few people to hear, and they heard how Mr. Huo was coaxing his wife.

Jian Mo continued to be confused: "What do you mean you are wrong?"

It was like coaxing a child, with a helpless smile: "Xiao Mo..."

Jian Mo knows her limits and doesn't dare to push her too far.

Because every time he coaxed her in front of others, he would always bully her back twice as much in bed. This man had a strong sense of evil, as if she had done something wrong.

In the evening, Huo Qi Chen booked a table at a seaside restaurant.

Outside is the surging sea, and the stars in the sky are scattered on the sea, which is particularly artistic.

Jian Mo hesitated again and again, but finally asked: "I know something, but I don't know whether I should tell you."

She had figured it out. Huo Qichen knew her whereabouts perfectly, so he'd naturally guess what she'd heard and done this time. Rather than being exposed by him, it would be better to admit it and still have a good reputation.

Huo Qichen took a bite of the tender steak and asked in a non-serious manner, "What's the matter?"

Jian Mo looked at his expression and said word by word, "Huo Yixiang told me that your mother... doesn't have only one son."

His expression remained unchanged, and he admitted frankly, "Overseas, five years younger than me."

He is still a young boy and probably has no experience or ability. No wonder Qiao Xia is paving the way for him.

"Have you seen him?"

"When he was eighteen, I went to Italy on a business trip and met him by chance." He spoke calmly, as if they were just discussing what to eat for breakfast.

Jian Mo couldn't imagine how he felt at that time, "...were you unable to accept it at that time?"

"Not really. Actually, I had a premonition a long time ago. Meeting him was just a notification she gave me." It was obvious who she was referring to.

"What kind of boy is he?"

"He's sunny and cheerful, full of youthfulness, and calls me brother with a smile."

Just a few words gave Jian Mo a rough outline of the situation. Her heart was clenched. To Huo Qi Chen, it was really unfair. The glass lamp above his head fell on the cold and elegant man in front of her. Jian Mo couldn't help but feel more empathy for him.

She shrugged nonchalantly, "She's still a child, nothing compared to you, don't take it to heart."

Huo Qichen put down his knife and fork and laughed at her, "You are terrible at comforting people."

"..." Jian Mo stuck out her tongue. She was never good at comforting others. If she had to say something, the words she would say the most would be: Don't cry, don't be sad, it will be fine...

It's really pale and powerless.

She straightened her back unconvinced, "Anyway, I'm on your side. If there's anything you need my help with, just let me know, Mr. Huo."

The woman was playful, and Huo Qichen's smile deepened. "Just don't run away when encountering problems."

"What are you talking about? I won't." Jian Mo felt that his trip to Jiangcheng this time was enough to express his sincerity.

After dinner, I was about to go back to Mingyuan, but Mo Yi hadn't left yet.

Jian Mo looked puzzled and glanced at the time, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Mo Yi leaned against the car, his face already full of impatience, "You didn't let me leave either."

She choked and exchanged glances with Huo Qichen beside her, "This is the assistant you assigned to me. If you didn't know, you would think he was the boss."

Unable to tell what the man was thinking, he curled his lips slightly and said, "Go back. From now on, as long as she stays with me, she doesn't have to follow me."

Mo Yi said "oh", then looked at him deeply, turned around meaningfully, and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Taking a taxi at this time is very expensive."

"This person is very rebellious. It's rare that he listens to you." Jian Mo shook his head in confusion.

After returning to Mingyuan, she first went to see Father Jian. The servant who had been on guard saw her and happily reported the situation to her.

"Madam, you're finally back. We've noticed your father has had several physical reactions in the past two days!"

"Really?" Jian Mo covered her mouth in surprise.
