Chapter 216 They Are a Perfect Match
Father Jian nodded repeatedly and gave a thumbs up in praise every time he tasted a dish.
Seeing him like this, Jian Mo felt better, but she didn't eat much. She found a takeaway box from the kitchen, put some of each in it, and covered it with a lid to prevent it from cooling down.
"Old Jian, put it there after you finish eating. I'll clean it up when I get back." Jian Mo walked to the entrance to put on his shoes. "I'm going out for a while."
"Xiao Mo." Father Jian called her, his eyes full of heartache: "People like him are not ordinary people in every way. If it really doesn't work, don't force it and don't let yourself be wronged."
In an instant, Jian Mo's eyes turned red. She quickly turned her head and said okay.
The lights are still on at the Huo's, and the office workers are the worst off.
Jian Mo had called Huo Qichen's secretary in advance and said, "Mr. Huo, you're still in the office. Mr. Wen is here. It's very busy today. The higher-ups suddenly started a trade war, and the Huo family is deeply involved in it. They are discussing strategy."
After hearing this explanation, Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I understand."
"Do you need to remind Mr. Huo to call back?"
"No need, let him be busy." Jian Mo curled her lips, hung up the phone, and then walked quickly into Huo's.
The security guard stopped her and said, "Sorry, you can't enter without a card."
Jian Mo was stunned. "I, I used to be an employee here. Don't you recognize me? It's me."
The security guard was embarrassed. "I know him, but you can't enter without a card. That's the rule. How about you ask someone you know to come down and pick you up?"
Jian Mo took out her ID card from her bag, but it was no longer valid because she had resigned. She couldn't just say that she was Mrs. Huo, and no one would believe her even if she did.
"Forget it, I'll wait downstairs."
Jian Mo found a corner to sit down and put on a mask. It would be too embarrassing if she was recognized by her former colleagues.
She didn't see that a beautiful figure took Huo Qichen's private elevator to the top floor.
Jian Mo held the thermal box and thought, how busy must this person be that he doesn't even check his phone.
As I waited, the temperature in my arms cooled down. When I looked at the time again, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Jian Mo's butt hurt from sitting so much, so she stood up and stretched her body. The security guard said to her, "Who are you waiting for? Most people are off work at this time. Your friend must be very busy."
Jian Mo smiled but said nothing.
However, just as she turned around, she suddenly saw Huo Qichen outside the Huo building. He shook hands with Wen Jing and said goodbye. Next to Wen Jing stood a petite daughter with such an excellent temperament that she was obviously Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan smiled brightly at Huo Qi Chen, she even reached out and hugged him, and he didn't push her away.
Wen Jing then got into the car, as if to give them some space to be alone.
Jian Mo carried the thermal box and approached cautiously.
It turned out that they came down directly from the private elevator, no wonder she couldn't wait.
"Looking forward to seeing you next time, Xiaoyuan." Huo Qichen's cold voice sounded particularly tender in the summer night.
Wen Yuan tilted her head and smiled, "Okay."
That was the end of the story. She got in the car and left with Wen Jing. Huo Qichen watched them go away with his hands behind his back, then walked towards the underground garage without looking back.
Jian Mo looked for a long time until her eyes felt sore, then she looked away.
The scene just now was so beautiful, the three of them standing together, as if it was supposed to be like that.
Jian Mo couldn't explain her mood, but she didn't call out to Huo Qichen.
In the underground garage, the secretary was waiting in the back seat. After reporting his work, Mo Yi stopped by the roadside. Huo Qichen was resting with his eyes closed, looking very tired.
Before getting out of the car, the secretary spoke cautiously: "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo called me today. She seemed to be looking for you."
Almost instantly, Huo Qichen opened his eyes, his expression filled with sinister intent. "When?"
"night."
Huo Qi Chen picked up his suit jacket from the side, found his personal cell phone, opened it and saw several unread messages.
He frowned, "What was the result of Zhou's bidding?"
"It was taken as expected."
Huo Qichen ordered Mo Yi to go to Jian's father's residence.
It was too late and the lights were out. Huo Qichen was waiting downstairs but didn't go upstairs. Under the light of the street lamp, he looked bright and lonely.
Mo Yiduo said: "Why don't you explain to her?"
"If you missed it, you missed it. Explanations are just making excuses." Huo Qi Chen rubbed his forehead and let out an inaudible breath.
Jian Mo was sitting on the last subway when her phone vibrated. It was a reply from Huo Qi Chen: I was too busy with work and didn’t check my phone.
After a while, I received the next message: Have a good sleep.
She turned off the screen. In fact, she knew that Huo Qichen was really busy and really didn't look at his phone. She could understand, but for some reason, the gap in her heart was getting bigger and bigger, even though they were obviously trying very hard to get closer to each other.
The next day, Jian Mo received a call from Xiao Chen, "Xiao Mo, I heard from the security guard that you came to Huo's last night and couldn't get in. Why didn't you call me and I would come to help you."
Jian Mo paused, feeling an indescribable bitterness in her heart. "It's nothing serious. Thank you very much."
"You're still talking about this to me." Xiao Chen sighed, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Want to have dinner together tonight?"
"……good."
In the evening, Jian Mo arrived at her destination, but she didn't expect that it was not just Xiao Chen waiting for her, but most of the people in the design department were there.
She looked at the scene in front of her with some surprise.
"What are you doing? We haven't seen each other for a few days, so we don't recognize each other anymore," someone joked, "or are you acting like a big shot after winning the gold medal?"
It was still a familiar smell. Jian Mo laughed out loud, and suddenly her nose felt a little sore. "I would recognize you even if you turned into ash."
Everyone laughed.
It’s still in a hot pot restaurant, steaming hot, which is a perfect match in summer.
Xiao Chen pulled Jian Mo and said, "The position of Director of the Design Department is vacant now, and no one is in charge. Everyone misses you very much. I asked if anyone wanted to come with me, and I didn't expect everyone to come."
We have worked together for so many years, and even though we have had some disagreements, we have developed feelings for each other.
Jian Mo's nose was sore. He opened the can of beer, held it up and said to everyone, "Thank you all for remembering me. I was naive in the past, and I may have been reckless and offended someone. I hope you can all forgive me and not take it to heart."
Someone quickly responded, "No, we were too much in the past and always targeted you. You should not take it personally."
"Yeah, yeah, don't say that."
"Come, drink this glass of wine, and pretend that what happened before never happened."
“…”
After a few bottles of wine, someone suggested, "Jian Mo, why don't you ask your superiors for mercy and return to Huo's? The design department can't be without a director."
Jian Mo's cheeks were burning, but her mind was clear. She could not go back to the Huo family.
"Yeah, how on earth did you offend the boss and get fired all of a sudden?"
