Chapter 197: Choosing a Marriage

Jian Mo didn't understand, he just said that you would know when you got there.

The restaurant is near the CBD.

Zhou Liangqi was wearing a gray suit. Good-looking people always attract attention. In contrast to his good complexion, Jian Mo's complexion looked particularly bad. After placing the order, he pointed at her face and said, "You look bad. You need some rest."

Jian Mo was indeed tired, but she knew that she was much calmer now than at the beginning, and she had no way of resting.

"I don't have time to rest." She supported her head with one hand.

The clothes were torn open a little, and Zhou Liangqi noticed the bruises on her neck with sharp eyes, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "He hit you?"

Jian Mo subconsciously put her hands up to cover her neck and stammered slowly: "No..."

Even though Zhou Liangqi had no experience in love, he could guess what was going on. When the food came, he personally served her soup, and Jian Mo said "thank you".

"Why did you call me out?" In fact, in order not to arouse Huo Qichen's anger, she should not have contacted him at this time, but things had come to this point, and it could not get any worse, so Jian Mo simply gave up.

"You'll find out just wait." Zhou Liangqi curled his lips.

Just then, a sweet female voice came, "Liangqi."

Jian Mo subconsciously looked over and saw a strange woman standing not far away. Even from a distance, she could see her skin, which was as smooth and delicate as fat. Her chestnut hair was loose and she was wearing flat shoes. She looked both outstanding and quiet.

Before Jian Mo could guess who it was, she saw the man beside her from the corner of her eye...

His tall body, frosty face, and the aura he exuded were all the man's unique temperament.

Huo Qichen...

Jian Mo held the bowl tightly in her hand and tried to control herself from shaking.

At this moment, they were not far away, but it seemed as if they were across thousands of mountains and rivers.

Zhou Liangqi said, "Xiaolin, come here."

The woman named Xiaolin exchanged glances with the man beside her, then slowly walked over. The next second, Zhou Liangqi pulled her slender wrist with his backhand, and she sat lightly on his lap.

"Why are you here?"

Jian Mo stared deeply at the man who was still standing there, and felt her breathing slow down. The man seemed to sneer, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then walked deeper into the restaurant.

Xiaolin's voice was very gentle as she looked at Jian Mo, "Who is this?"

"A friend, let's have a meal together when we meet. Why are you here today?" Zhou Liangqi's tone was equally accommodating and gentle. He stroked her hair and threw the question back with ease.

Jian Mo nodded to her, then lowered her head to drink her soup. She looked so haggard now, she shouldn't be considered an imaginary enemy.

Xiaolin put her arm around Zhou Liangqi's neck and whispered, "I was originally coming to see you, but I ran into Mr. Huo on the way. It's been a while since we last met, so we decided to have dinner together."

She is like tofu, she will break if touched even the slightest.

It is really pleasing to the eyes.

Zhou Liangqi pinched her waist and squinted his eyes. "Then go over. Call me after you finish eating and I'll take you home."

Xiaolin nodded obediently and kissed him on the face. Just as she was about to leave, he caught her and kissed her hard on the lips.

She blushed and pushed him away embarrassedly. She bowed slightly to Jian Mo and left quickly.

Without waiting for Jian Mo to ask, Zhou Liangqi introduced her identity calmly, "Xu Xiaolin, the only daughter of Xu Long of Feiyue Group. She has always wanted to marry into the Zhou family."

Jian Mo was shocked. "You married her to resolve the Zhou family's crisis?"

"Let's put it off for now." Zhou Liangqi answered irrelevantly, "I really didn't know she knew Huo Qichen."

It is understandable. It is not surprising that a socialite like her knows Huo Qichen.

"What about Wen Yuan?"

He didn't care, "It doesn't matter anymore."

Jian Mo didn't believe it, "So why did you call me here today?"

"You may not be able to see Huo Qichen at Huo's, but you can here."

So this was his plan.

Jian Mo hadn't figured out how to negotiate with Huo Qichen yet. He dismissed her from her position, which was understandable as a leader. He then killed Zhou, and she had no say in the matter.

She felt a lump in her chest, a lump that hadn't gone away since the eye contact just now.

Jian Mo felt like vomiting again and stood up. "I'm going to the bathroom first."

To go to the restroom, one needs to pass by various private rooms in the restaurant. Jian Mo looked for them subconsciously but did not see Xu Xiaolin and Huo Qichen.

She scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face, and her sleepiness disappeared a lot. She opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror, and then she realized how ugly she had been just now. Standing next to her, Xu Xiaolin was absolutely a terrible contrast.

As she walked out of the bathroom with her head down, she was wondering in her mind whether she really should go back and have a good rest.

"Ah..." It was as if he had bumped into someone, his forehead hitting the hard chest. He felt dizzy for a moment and fell to one side, only to be caught in time by a big hand.

Jian Mo was stunned. After her vision cleared up, she looked up and saw a clean and familiar jaw. Then she looked up...

She pushed it open suddenly, took two steps back, and looked at him warily and cautiously.

"What are you doing here?"

The tall man sneered and stepped forward, "You don't repent, do you? He's so attractive to you that you won't let him go even if he becomes your son-in-law."

He deliberately put emphasis on the four words "son-in-law" and his words were really unpleasant.

Jian Mo's chest heaved, and the desire to communicate properly disappeared completely. She wanted to slam the bag on his face, "Huo Qichen, please be respectful."

However, she was grabbed by the wrist and pressed into his arms, his breath spraying on her ears like a venomous snake. "Zhou Liangqi wants Feiyue to inject capital to help Zhou Corporation? How much power do you think he has now? Without the equity transfer, he can't do anything. He can't get married right away. He's just struggling to survive."

Jian Mo suddenly raised her hand and was about to slap him, "Huo Qichen!"

He grabbed her, but she was no match for the male's strength.

There were tears in Jian Mo's eyes, a shallow layer.

She suddenly understood that Huo Qichen's move was to force Zhou Liangqi to take this path.

Either something happens to Zhou or Zhou Liangqi gets married. No matter which one he chooses, he wins.

Good calculation.

Huo Qi Chen squeezed her wrist.

She must hate him very much now, but does she know how sad he was when he saw her defenseless when Zhou Liangqi affectionately served her soup just now?

Jian Mo tried to break free, but suddenly her stomach churned. She covered her mouth and arched her back. The man paused, and she quickly broke free and ran back to the bathroom, lowering her head and retching in the sink.

Huo Qichen followed and saw this. His heart tightened and he felt an uncontrollable pain in his heart.

He was a little stunned. Seeing Jian Mo vomiting all the time, he subconsciously raised his hand to pat her back, but stopped in mid-air and realized that he was not in the right position to do so.

Jian Mo felt a little better. She suddenly turned on the faucet and washed her hands. She raised her eyes coldly and saw the man who followed her looking at her subtly, "You..."

Jian Mo's mouth curled up coldly, imitating his, "What do you think it is?"

Jian Mo only saw the man's thin lips move slightly, but her heart stopped beating. Suddenly, darkness came before her eyes. She closed her eyes and lost all consciousness.

"Jian Mo!"
