Chapter 137 He is angry
Jian Mo's heart skipped a beat. She found it hard to imagine that a man standing in the clouds like this would have a physical illness.
The thought was unbearable, so she took a deep breath, said she was going to the bathroom, and returned to her room.
She called Xu Ming: "Brother Ming."
Xu Ming was a little surprised and a little embarrassed, as if he had some concerns, "Xiao Mo...
"I want to ask you something. I have a friend whose mother has mental health issues. What are the chances of it being hereditary?"
"What kind of mental problems?"
"Well...he has violent tendencies, is out of control, and is very extreme. He would beat his own children."
Xu Ming was silent for a moment. "I'll have to ask my colleagues in the psychiatry department for you."
"Okay, then remember to tell me if you ask."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Mo put away her phone and looked out the window, but found that Huo Qichen was gone. She walked out of the room in a daze, opened the door, and saw a body standing in front of her.
There was mud on Huo Qichen's clothes, and when he looked down at her, his eyes were full of coldness.
It was a calm coldness that made Jian Mo feel empty inside.
"...Huo Qichen?" Did he hear it?
He just remained silent for a long time, and when Jian Mo wanted to explain, he spoke: "Who told you?"
“…I…I didn’t say…”
"Zhou Liangqi?"
Jian Mo really wanted to distance herself from the matter, but she couldn't say a word because she couldn't lie.
"Listen to me, I have no ill intentions, I just..."
Huo Qi Chen raised his hand and put down the shovel. Without saying anything, he turned quietly and left her sight. Jian Mo opened her mouth. She had never seen him look so lonely.
He didn't show up again in the following days.
The next time Jian Mo saw news about him, it was about his scandal with a female entrepreneur in Haicheng. The two were photographed entering a hotel together.
The design department was bustling with gossip, but Jian Mo felt as if she was in an ice cellar.
These days she wanted to explain things to Huo Qichen and moved back to Mingyuan, but she still couldn't see him. She went to the top floor, but Mu Yi was not there for some reason. The secretary's office replied that Mr. Huo was not there.
On the last day before the holiday, Jian Mo got up to go to work as usual. She didn't know which servant made breakfast today, but all the food served on the table were things that Jian Mo avoided.
She was in even worse mood and felt bored. She drank the honey water in front of her with one hand, and gave instructions to her subordinates who were editing the text with the other.
Ju Ma knew her taste, but she didn't say anything at this time. One could guess the deeper meaning behind her words.
Suddenly I felt sad, turned my head to look at the snow falling outside the window, and thought of the palace fighting drama that Xiao Chen was following recently.
Dozens of concubines compete for favor in the harem, and intrigues and deceptions are played out one after another, to see who is more scheming and who can pretend to be pitiful. There is only one man who is tossing between them, and his feelings are the same for all of them.
Anyone who loses favor will see all the benefits around him plummet.
Is it interesting?
It tells the story of how at a certain moment one suddenly felt a sense of empathy for those concubines.
The noise came suddenly, and a servant suddenly said, "Mr. Huo."
Jian Mo didn't even raise her head, and walked back with the remaining honey water. Her wrist was grabbed without explanation, and the voice was cold and indifferent: "Have breakfast with me first."
"I've already eaten and I'm rushing to work. If you're late, your attendance bonus will be deducted."
The surroundings were silent, and Ju Ma didn't dare to speak. The two people in the space seemed to be performing a one-man show on TV.
Jian Mo was pressed to her seat by the silent man, "I'll pay you double."
The food on the table was quickly cleared away and replaced with another round of Huo Qichen's preferences.
Jian Mo's expression was very ugly. The new servant stood aside and said to Huo Qichen in a self-righteous manner: "It's my fault. I didn't understand Mrs. Huo's dietary restrictions well..."
Huo Qichen seemed to be really hungry. He didn't even take off his coat, and there was a snowflake on his shoulder.
He ate for a while before glancing at the honey water in Jian Mo's hand and responding calmly, "No need to apologize. Did you see what she said?"
Jian Mo pursed her lips. She had been planning to explain for many days, but she still couldn't bring herself to ask.
"You've been looking for me recently." He looked at her with a distant and indifferent look.
"Mr. Huo, you are so forgetful. I have a document for you to sign, but I can't find anyone." Jian Mo forced a smile and looked around to talk about something else.
She didn't understand. She had good intentions, so why did Huo Qichen ignore her and embarrass her by spreading rumors?
"Leave it to the secretary."
"good."
After that, the two never spoke again.
It was the last day of work before the New Year. Because of the morning incident, Jian Mo absentmindedly packed up her things and left the design department with Xiao Chen and others in the evening. She was discussing the popular movies in the Spring Festival period with Zhao Youzhi.
"Let's go and see it together. I'm going home tomorrow and we won't see each other for more than half a month."
"OK."
"Sister Jian, are you going? I'll treat you." Zhao Youzhi woke up Jian Mo.
She was indifferent. She wouldn't see Huo Qichen if she returned to Mingyuan anyway, and even if she did, he would be sarcastic and mocking.
"OK."
At this time, most people had left, so the elevator wouldn't be so crowded. However, they didn't expect that when they pressed the button, they would see Huo Qi Chen.
A man who is always gentle but actually indifferent, followed by his secretary.
The smile that Jian Mo had just forced out froze on his face. It was really incongruous for him to appear here.
Even Zhao Youzhi was a little stunned. After a while, he tugged at Jian Mo's sleeve and nodded, "Mr. Huo."
Since joining the Huo family, Zhao Youzhi has not seen Huo Qichen many times, and every time he has been overwhelmed by his natural aura.
Jian Mo just looked at the man without shouting.
Zhao Youzhi was a little anxious.
Huo Qichen nodded and moved to the side to make room, which was an obvious invitation.
Zhao Youzhi and Xiao Chen did not dare to be rude and quickly pulled Jian Mo in.
The corner was cramped, and Jian Mo's whole body was stiff. The tip of her nose was filled with the cool scent of this man, and she felt completely awake.
The elevator slowly descended, and a terrifying silence grew wings.
Jian Mo chose to lower her head and play with her phone.
It finally stopped, and at that moment, Xiao Chen received a call, "Hello, Mom?"
"What? I'll be right back, wait for me!"
After she finished speaking, she excitedly whispered to Jian Mo, "My mom arranged a blind date for me with a handsome guy. I have to go. You and Youzhi can go to the movie together."
"Seize the opportunity." As she said this, she winked ambiguously. To her, she did not approve of Jian Mo's husband at all, but thought Zhao Youzhi was a good guy.
Hearing her tone, Jian Mo couldn't even play with her phone anymore.
Zhao Youzhi felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him, and his ears turned red.
The elevator door closed again, and Jian Mo suddenly felt a chill emanating from her side.
Huo Qichen's slightly cold voice suddenly came to his ears, "Want to go to the movies?"
Zhao Youzhi was stunned, thinking that his boss was suddenly being friendly and considerate of his subordinates.
In the workplace, it’s never wrong to say good things to your boss.
"Yes, Mr. Huo, it's the romantic movie that's been very popular recently."
