Chapter 130 Look at Him
Jian Mo didn't say anything. She didn't want this identity.
Sun Ran looked at the virgin-like woman in front of her and felt that she was truly charming. As a woman, losing to such a person was not such a failure. She was just jealous.
Sun Ran finished smoking a cigarette and frowned: "You are so calm, aren't you afraid that I will expose you to the media?"
"You won't."
"Why?"
"Because by doing this you are fulfilling my purpose."
Sun Ran was provoked and stared at her: "What if I deliberately discredit you?"
"Huo Qichen won't let you do that."
"Oh, you're so confident."
Sun Ran walked past her and left, whispering as he passed by her: "I dare not touch you, but I am waiting for you to fall from the altar."
Jian Mo smiled faintly, reached out to tidy up the loose hair on her forehead, and did not reply to her.
Qingying also came to today's annual meeting. She was brought by the elders personally. She came from a poor family, so everyone was surprised to see her being brought to the banquet, and their eyes were full of ambiguous meanings.
Throughout this circle, Qingying stuck to Huo Qichen all the time. When he was talking quietly with someone, she would sit aside and wait obediently. Those who didn't know would think that she was interested in this person, but those who knew knew that she was Huo Qichen's sister, and the Huo family would not accept an illegitimate daughter.
Huo Qichen acted like a host and didn't show anything wrong. When he couldn't bear it any longer, he just gently reminded him, "Qingying, you are the guest today. I will invite you alone another day. It's just that I am too busy for an occasion like today."
Seeing him take the initiative to talk to her, Qingying smiled charmingly: "I just saw that woman, she is very annoying. I don't want you to appear in this kind of occasion with her, do you understand, Brother Huo?"
Huo Qi Chen raised his eyelids and looked for Jian Mo in the conference hall, but she was not there.
"I won't do that." After that day, the two hadn't spoken to each other for several days, and they returned to Mingyuan at different times.
"Really? It turns out that Brother Huo still has some sense. I thought you announced the marriage news on impulse. Last time it was a celebration banquet, and this time it's the annual meeting. If you say it out, the whole world will know." Qingying sneered.
"If you say one more word, you will be the only one embarrassed." Huo Qichen retorted indifferently.
She was anxious and felt very aggrieved. "I still don't understand why, why not Sister Wen Yuan? How is she not as good as that woman? Do you have to humiliate yourself like this?"
Huo Qichen finally took the wine from the waiter and handed it to her, "Are you sure you want to continue?"
Qingying froze, still not daring to offend this man. "Anyway, I'll be here tonight. I'll watch over you for Sister Wen Yuan."
Huo Qichen didn't take the child's behavior seriously. He put down his glass and said one last thing before leaving, "Mind your own business."
It was a lively day. Jian Mo had been busy all day and finally had some free time. She found a quiet balcony and let the cool wind blow into her heart.
She was much more sober. She held a bottle of wine in her hand and drank it one sip after another without looking back at the excitement behind her. She felt as if there was a hole in her heart that could never be healed.
"Jian Mo."
Mu Yi appeared behind her at some point. She turned around and the cold wind blew her long hair.
"What's wrong? Isn't Assistant Mu busy enough?" Jian Mo said with a hint of sarcasm.
"You should divorce Mr. Huo. As long as you insist, he will definitely agree." Mu Yi said seriously, "I know your family is suffering. I can help you, provided you divorce him."
Jian Mo laughed when she heard this, "Are you so sure that I will agree to you?"
Mu Yi has been dealing with the social world for many years and always speaks calmly. "I already know about the Wenhua incident. I believe you also know that Huo Qichen doesn't want a wife like you. Zhou Liangqi treats you well, so you can find someone else to rely on."
Jian Mo crossed her arms and took a deep breath. "It seems that Assistant Mu investigated me very thoroughly. Even Zhou Liangqi knew about it. If he knew, he would definitely ask Huo Qichen for you."
Mu Yi's tone was already filled with anger, and she sneered: "Are you sure you don't want to leave?"
Jian Mo also wanted to laugh. Why did everyone think that she had the final say in this matter?
"You go find Huo Qichen. If he agrees, I will definitely divorce you. But if he doesn't agree, don't try to test my opinion." Jian Mo was being disheartened and didn't want to say anything more.
She wants a divorce, but the premise is that she can't divorce now. No matter from which perspective, she has to take care of herself and can't compromise because of a few words from others.
And she also knew that Huo Qichen had no plans to divorce at the moment.
Mu Yi already knew her final attitude, so he stopped asking questions and was about to turn around and leave.
Jian Mo stopped her at this time, "Assistant Mu, I don't know when Sun Ran got in. For the sake of Huo's reputation, I advise you to deal with him."
Mu Yi was slightly stunned, not knowing whether it was an accident or something else. He stood there for a while and then left.
The night wind was gentle yet lonely, lifting Jian Mo's long hair. She sighed silently.
Many senior executives from the Huo family came to today's annual meeting, including the directors of the board of directors. They were old and looked dignified, and with their wealth, the employees who approached them were cautious.
"Qi Chen, I've seen the Huo Corporation's financial statements this year. To be honest, I'm still terrified of your decision to acquire Wanjing. If it weren't for the Zhao family's trouble, our entire Huo Corporation might have been ruined. It's too risky."
In a specially secluded private room, the scenery of pavilions and waterside terraces was very beautiful. Several directors gathered together to drink tea. Huo Qichen sat at the end, smiling faintly and saying nothing.
"But something happened to the Zhao family, didn't it?"
"What if the one who got into trouble was the Huo family?" The person sitting in the main seat was the eldest son of the Huo family's previous branch, Huo Yixiang. He was almost sixty years old, well-maintained, and very imposing.
"Uncle Huo, I can assure you. With Wan Jing in hand, Huo's business territory will only expand infinitely in the next three years. It's too early to be discouraged now."
Huo Qichen poured himself a cup of green tea. He took a sip and put it down.
"Hmph... three years. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Your grandfather is in poor health. Don't let him see the fall of the Huo family in his lifetime. If that happens, you will become a sinner." Huo Yixiang said sarcastically.
Huo Qichen sneered after hearing this: "It seems that Uncle is not very satisfied with this year's dividend. If he was really worried about Grandpa, why didn't he go back to see him once?"
"you!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, someone came out to smooth things over. "Okay, we are all family, why are we talking about different things? I believe in Qi Chen's ability. Most of the revenue this year is still good. Of course, it would be even better if he didn't fill the gap left by Wan Jing."
Huo Qichen said nothing, his fingertips rubbing the wall of the cup. The shadowy bustle outside seeped in slightly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. It was Mu Yi. She looked at Huo Qichen anxiously, not daring to move.
