Chapter 154 Want to Help Him
Mo Yi was quite conscientious and would report every move of Jian Mo to Huo Qichen truthfully, no matter how big or small.
Jian Mo met Zhou Liangqi at the airport on the way to Jiangcheng.
It wasn't a chance encounter. Zhou Liangqi said on the phone: "I'm going to London tomorrow. Do you have time for us to meet up?"
Jian Mo was silent for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed: "I'm at the airport now, my flight is in forty minutes."
"It's okay, I'll come over now."
When Zhou Liangqi arrived, Jian Mo was eating a bowl of noodles in the airport lounge. From the side, she looked elegant and calm.
Sitting next to him was a shady man, it was Mo Yi.
When Huo Qichen called, Zhou Liangqi had just taken his seat.
"I heard that he's been following Huo Wan recently." It was a very calm statement.
Jian Mo felt a little guilty, but she was mentally prepared, knowing that he would find out sooner or later.
"Yes... We have some overlap on the project. I'm planning to go to Jiangcheng with him now."
Huo Qichen remained calm and even asked, "Do you need my help?"
Jian Mo stared at Zhou Liangqi who was playing with the Buddhist beads in front of him, "No need."
Huo Qichen said with great determination, "I'll be waiting for your good news in Haicheng."
After hanging up the phone, the staff brought a bowl of beef noodles and placed it in front of Zhou Liangqi. He picked it up with his chopsticks and said, "One hundred and eighty-eight beef noodles, only two slices of beef, why don't you grab it?"
Jian Mo held her forehead and glanced towards the bathroom. "Mr. Zhou, what do you want to say? I don't have time to waste with you."
Zhou Liangqi was not in a hurry at all. He took a big bite before saying, "Qiao Xia is not in Haicheng, so there is no need to go."
"Not here?" Jian Mo was surprised. "But the information I've gathered these days is that she will attend this meeting."
Zhou Liangqi looked at her with a playful look, "How could Huo Qichen let you do something so easily when he doesn't want you to know it?"
She frowned, "What do you mean..."
He continued to eat noodles.
What this means is that Huo Qichen deliberately released the news these days. He knew what she was doing and took advantage of the situation to get her involved.
Realizing this, Jian Mo felt a little frustrated.
"I just don't understand why you didn't let me know. I just... wanted to help him."
Zhou Liangqi took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, very elegantly, "My plane is about to take off. See you later."
At this moment, Huo Wan also came out of the bathroom and saw her sitting there in a daze. "Shall we go, sister-in-law?"
“…Never mind, let’s go.”
Just treat it as a way to relax and make it worthwhile to be busy for so many days.
Huo Wan had done a lot of preparation, designing many plans and planning, as well as various issues that he would face with investors. Jian Mo was calm and composed, and as expected, he did not see Qiao Xia.
But she never expected that she would meet Huo Yixiang at the dinner party.
The energetic old man, wearing a hat that revealed some gray hair, held a cane in his hand and stood not far away, giving Jian Mo an almost creepy smile.
Jian Mo was wearing a shoulder-revealing evening gown today. Seeing Huo Yixiang, she paused. This was a surprise. Why was Huo Yixiang here? Many mysteries formed in her mind, but she couldn't find the answers.
I realized that this trip might be a little difficult.
"Xiaomo."
At that time, Jian Mo had just finished a conversation with the same boss. As she was taking a sip of wine from her glass, this slightly vicissitudes of life voice came into her ears. Jian Mo stopped all her movements, and the curve of her back looked extremely beautiful.
"Uncle." She turned around and gave Huo Yixiang a proper smile. "What a coincidence! I should have come to greet you today, but I had so much to do, so..."
Huo Yixiang also smiled and raised his hand to indicate that it was okay: "What's the big deal? I came here with Huo Wan."
"yes."
His eyes fell on Mo Yi, who had been following Jian Mo and was eating dessert boredly. He felt the attention and raised his eyes lazily, not afraid at all.
"But why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to Jiangcheng so I could make arrangements for you? Where's Achen? Didn't Achen come with you?"
Jian Mo just smiled and said nothing. At this moment, her perception of Huo Yixiang became even more serious. He was not gentle at all, but clearly a wolf in fox fur. "I've only been here for the past two days. Besides, isn't my uncle recuperating in Haicheng?"
The implication was that Huo Yixiang had clearly abdicated, so why would he attend such an event? Was he still running another company? Furthermore, why would Huo Yixiang, already at this age, personally attend such a dinner party that was neither better nor worse?
"Shall we talk?"
Hoy's gestures say: I will answer your questions.
Jian Mo clenched the cup in her hand, a light flickered in her dark eyes. After a moment, she smiled and nodded: "Okay."
The conversation took place in a teahouse. Mo Yi was left outside with an indifferent expression. He positioned himself very accurately: just a guard.
"Achen is so good to you. There are some things that others can't get even after ten years of hard work, but you just say it and it comes." Huo Yixiang personally poured tea for Jian Mo. Jian Mo lowered her eyes and quickly reached out to take it. She heard some sourness in his words.
"Uncle, you know, sometimes pillow talk is useful."
Jian Mo said it teasingly, and Huo Yixiang smiled with his eyes narrowed.
He pointed with his finger: "I heard that you came to Jiangcheng today to raise funds?"
Jian Mo didn't answer. She held the teacup to her lips and blew into it slowly.
Huo Yixiang didn't feel embarrassed, nor was he afraid of exposing his purpose. It seemed that he was certain that Jian Mo would not tell others about certain things.
"Xiaomo," the old man sighed, "I've heard everything about Achen's mother."
"You have super hearing, and you've heard about things so far away?"
"If the Wind-Ear wants to listen, I can't do anything about it myself."
"There's more." She suppressed her smile.
"That woman is treacherous and has no feelings at all. In my opinion, Achen shouldn't have helped her and made such a big fuss to help her son."
Jian Mo narrowed her eyes and froze, "Son?"
"Don't you know? Achen is not her only child."
It was so shocking that for a moment, Jian Mo was speechless.
Qiao Xia actually has another son... Is this the case? Huo Qi Chen doesn't want her to know.
"Where is he now?"
Huo Yixiang just smiled faintly and didn't answer.
After a moment, Jian Mo tilted her head slightly, her nose filled with the fragrance of tea, a little astringent. She smiled and asked, "What kind of tea did uncle brew?"
Huo Yixiang was no fool and finally opened the topic: "Do you know that most of the people attending the banquet today have cooperated with Zhou Corporation?"
Jian Mo raised her eyebrows. She really didn't know that.
If it is true, then Zhou Liangqi will definitely not let Huo's company succeed in financing so easily.
Huo Qichen knew Huo Wan was coming to Jiangcheng. He must have known this, so why didn't he stop them? Did he deliberately make them go there in vain?
