Chapter 209 Correcting Your Position

Huo Qichen filled Wen Jing's glass with wine and said, "Xiaoyuan told me that your lumbar spine hasn't been feeling well lately. I've made an appointment with the best doctor in Haicheng for you. You can go for physical therapy when you have time."

"It's an old problem, don't worry about it." Wen Jing said, "You've been getting close to Xiaoyuan recently."

"The research project she is in charge of at Vanke is for the Huo family, and they have work dealings." Huo Qichen answered calmly, without seeming to see anything wrong.

Wen Jing understood, "I'll give her some advice."

When the social event ended, Huo Qichen took his people away from Wenhua and sent Wen Jing to the car. He told the driver to drive steadily.

Wen Jing sat in the back seat and looked over at Jian Mo, "Come here."

Huo Qichen then took a step back, his eyes dark. Jian Mo took the opportunity to step forward and smiled, "Director Wen."

"To be honest, I was actually shocked when I first saw the news," Wen Jing said without hesitation.

Jian Mo's smile froze, "I think you misunderstood."

"I won't let Xiaoyuan destroy your family, provided you don't hurt her either. But if she insists on doing it, as a father, I will help her. Miss Jian, I'll give you some advice, but you need to put yourself in your place."

This is a warning.

Jian Mo replied calmly, "Director Wen, it exists between Mr. Huo and Miss Wen. It was actually Miss Wen's idea."

After a whole night, Wen Jing's calm face finally revealed a hint of surprise, "Xiaoyuan?"

Jian Mo nodded, stood up and stepped back. The driver started the car and drove away with Wen Jing.

Now she had no choice but to follow Huo Qichen.

It was rush hour, and the road was jammed with cars, forming a long queue. No matter how good Huo Qichen's car was, it couldn't fly. He was stuck in the middle, unable to move.

The atmosphere in the car was tense.

Jian Mo sat in the corner, tightly holding the mineral water bottle in her hand, while sending a message to Huo Wan, asking him to go back directly, and the matter was settled.

He was surprised and asked her how she did it, but Jian Mo didn't answer.

Mo Yi was driving today. He noticed that the atmosphere was not right and spoke to ease the tension.

"Haicheng's traffic is almost catching up with Kyoto's. With traffic like this, they still want to retain millions of college students? Speechless."

Jian Mo loosened his grip and the mineral water bottle rolled to Mo Yi's feet, but he didn't dare bend down to pick it up.

She remained silent. On the other side, Huo Qichen's face looked even uglier. He didn't say a word, but his intimidating presence made the temperature plummet. Jian Mo didn't understand what he was angry about. Wasn't he very happy to see her in this state?

"I didn't know you would go to Wenhua today. It wasn't intentional." She finally spoke, choosing her words.

Huo Qi Chen was finally willing to look at her, his eyes like cold stars.

"Wenhua is not on my itinerary today." This sentence made the relationship clear and stated that he was going for her.

Jian Mo pursed her lips, "Now that you've seen it, are you satisfied?" Was he satisfied with her being so embarrassed?

"Is this the life you're pestering me for?" Huo Qichen suppressed his anger. "You're quite powerful at home, but you're like this outside. Do you know who Wen Jing is? He can throw you into the sea to feed the fish with just a flick of his finger."

She felt his anger and didn't move.

What Wen Jing had just said was still echoing in Jian Mo's mind.

Having listened to such humiliation, Huo Qichen's was no different.

She didn't refute or say anything. After a long while, she finally spoke: "Are you done?"

Huo Qichen raised his eyebrows.

Jian Mo nodded: "Yes, this is my life now, I have no right to resist."

His brows grew tighter and tighter.

"Besides, the humiliation they inflicted on you is not even one tenth of what you, Mr. Huo, have suffered."

There was another sentence she didn't say.

The reason I am like this is all thanks to you. You, the arrogant abuser, have no right to scold me.

Huo Qichen licked the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue and stared at the clothes on her. "Who gave you this dress?"

Jian Mo didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and continued to provoke him, "Is it pretty? Do you also think it looks like the so-called old friend? I like it too."

"Jian Mo." Huo Qichen said in a deep voice.

She raised her eyebrows. "Anyway, I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door, unlike some people..."

"How are some people?" He put one hand on the car door and scratched his hair.

Seeing him suddenly not being serious, Jian Mo's heart was suddenly moved. She opened her lips slightly, unable to hold back. "My private life is overflowing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Qichen turned his head and spoke calmly for a long while, word by word: "Say it again."

Jian Mo realized what she had said and didn't say another word. Huo Qichen sneered and said calmly, "Let's not cross the line."

This sentence was like an epiphany for Jian Mo.

Huo Qi Chen suddenly became irritated. At this moment, he slowly realized that there had actually been a constant game of chess and suspicion between the two of them. She did not trust him, and he did the same to her.

So the unpleasant words came out, "I'm out there looking at beautiful girls, you look at the colorful world, isn't that great? Occasionally we can get together and maybe spend the rest of our lives together. Even if this life is over, am I not good to you? You can't take advantage of all the kindness I've shown you and keep pushing it further."

As correct as he was, what he said was also as cold and indifferent.

Jian Mo held the phone tightly, the coldness froze her fingertips and the chill reached her heart.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

That’s all for now.

The traffic ahead slowed down a bit, and Mo Yi started the engine and rushed out. Driving very fast, Jian Mo tightened her seatbelt and refused to speak.

Huo Qi Chen waited for a while before realizing that Jian Mo didn't continue talking, and the anger in his heart suddenly grew bigger and bigger.

With a "whoosh", the car suddenly stopped at the door of Mingyuan. Huo Qichen turned his head to look at Jian Mo, "You are quite courageous."

"Boss Huo, you're wrong. I have everything I need except backbone."

Otherwise, I wouldn't have given up my self-esteem again and again after being with him.

"Did I say anything wrong? What did I say wrong? I have to endure your anger for no reason. Sometimes I really want to ask, it was you who proposed this relationship in the first place, why am I the sinner now?"

After saying that, Huo Qichen pinched Jian Mo's chin and sneered, "You regret it, don't you?"

"Yes." She met his gaze.

Huo Qichen just nodded and said, "Unfortunately, the 1 billion has not been repaid yet. If you don't want others to be implicated, don't even think about leaving my side."

The romance of the past has now turned into threats and exploitation.

Jian Mo fiercely shook off his hand, opened the car door, got out, and strode into Mingyuan. Ju Ma saw her and asked, "Madam, did you quarrel with your husband again?"

Again… Jian Mo sneered. If this continued, “there wouldn’t be many more quarrels.”

In the car, Huo Qichen leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. For the first time, Mo Yi said something extra, "Why don't you explain to her?"
