Chapter 219 Plotting Against Him
"Five million."
Even if she was sold, she wouldn't have that much money. It seemed that the other party knew that she was Mrs. Huo, and was relying on the Huo family behind her to dare to ask for such a high price.
"Mrs. Huo, I know you all don't want this identity to be exposed. In order to protect yourselves, it's better to spend money to avoid disaster."
Jian Mo took a deep breath, "...Give me some time to think about it."
She told Xiao Chen about this, and soon Xiao Chen came directly to Mingyuan.
She had never been to Huo Qichen's residence, and even though she was angry, she was still scared when she went there.
As expected of a high-ranking official, there were many plainclothes officers guarding the area leading into Mingyuan. They looked like passers-by, but their inherent toughness was exactly the same as Huo Qichen's.
Before entering, I checked my identity, took my fingerprints, and called Jian Mo to confirm.
Jian Mo seemed to be accustomed to this process, "Well, let her in, my friend."
Only then was it released safely.
Once inside, the servants were very polite and served us tea and snacks, showing excellent hospitality.
Jian Mo sat in the room, staring at the photos on her phone in a daze. "To be honest, how did you take this photo? It makes me look so ugly."
She was not conscious yesterday, and when she saw the paparazzi reconstructing the situation with photos, she found it quite interesting. Huo Qichen was really nice to her and often hugged her like this.
Xiao Chen was already fidgeting, furious. "Is that the point? They took a picture of your face. What's wrong with these paparazzi? If this gets out, it'll have a huge impact on you!"
Huo Qichen returned to Mingyuan at this time. Mo Yi followed behind him and didn't dare to say anything. I don't know if he looked unhappy because Wen Yuan stopped his car.
"Where's Jian Mo?"
"My wife is upstairs. A friend has come over."
This is the first time that Jian Mo has friends coming over.
Jian Mo couldn't figure out whether the company didn't want to do it anymore or was just too bold. "How dare they film Huo Qichen?"
Xiao Chen fanned himself with his hands, "Five million, why don't you just go and rob it?"
Jian Mo could still joke, "Actually, Huo Qichen doesn't need this little money, so it's okay to give it to them, but I don't want to give it to them so cheaply."
Xiao Chen choked, as if it was true, "He is your husband after all."
Jian Mo put her phone on the table and sighed, "Fortunately, the person I took the photo of wasn't Zhou Liangqi."
"What Zhou Liangqi?" Xiao Chen was so angry that he almost jumped up again, "You still want to be photographed with Zhou Liangqi? If you are photographed, it won't be five million, and you will be scolded to death."
The woman's skin looked particularly good under the light. She blinked nonchalantly, "So, we should be thankful that we didn't photograph Zhou Liangqi. We were lucky to have photographed Huo Qichen instead."
Xiao Chen's mouth twitched, "The impact is not bad?"
Jian Mo paused, "Zhou Liangqi is different..."
He is single and his identity is not that sensitive, so no one will care who he goes out with.
It would be different if it was Huo Qi Chen.
"Don't give them the five million. Let them expose it. Before that, find a way to tell Huo Qichen's people, and he will naturally buy it. He won't spread rumors at this time."
Jian Mo guessed Huo Qichen's thoughts best.
Because he also has to restrain the Wen family. If Wen Yuan sees this, she will definitely make a big fuss.
Thinking of this, her face darkened a little.
Xiao Chen understood, "But... you are plotting against Huo Qichen."
"He's been plotting against me a lot." Jian Mo's words were emotionless. In her opinion, it was true. There were many moments when she felt happy, but he was plotting against her.
Xiao Chen was worried: "Is this okay? Are you sure?"
"Sure."
What she didn't see was that the person being talked about was standing just outside the door, his expression even more stern than before. He suddenly smiled, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.
From what she said, Huo Qichen is not as good as Zhou Liangqi.
After Xiao Chen left, Jian Mo stared at her phone in a daze.
There were many unread messages on WeChat. One of them was from Zhou Liangqi, a small red dot. His profile picture was completely black, and his question was as cold as his maturity: "I received the news. How was the decision made? Do you want to suppress it?"
I asked this in the morning, but Jian Mo just saw it now.
She thought of that face and sneered, typing: Zhou Liangqi, do you care about me?
The other side replied in seconds and sent a question mark
——That’s not how you show concern for others.
Zhou Liangqi: It seems you are sober now.
She was lost in thought when someone suddenly touched her and she almost jumped in fright. She subconsciously pressed her phone in front of her to turn off the screen, and was startled to see that it was Huo Qichen standing next to her.
His face was as calm as water, showing no emotion. He looked at her calmly, "What are you panicking about?"
Jian Mo's breathing slowed down. "When did you come back? Why are you... walking without making any sound?"
It was so quiet that she didn't even know how long Huo Qichen had been there or whether he had seen anything.
Huo Qichen's face looked pretty good. Jian Mo guessed that he must have just arrived, so she put her mind at ease and quickly concealed the surprise on her face. "What do you want to eat? I'll ask Ju's mother to make it."
Huo Qichen just looked at her, "I want to eat what you cook."
Jian Mo was surprised. "Are you kidding? There's no time now. There's no time to prepare."
The man was not angry. He suddenly reached out to take the phone from her hand. Jian Mo's face changed instantly and she clenched her hand tightly. "What's wrong..."
Huo Qi Chen didn't say anything, he just pushed hard, but she didn't let him.
In the face-to-face game, she was ultimately no match for the man's strength. He opened his locked phone and handed it to her, saying very gently, "Be good, unlock it."
Jian Mo's face was replaced by fear. Her heart was pounding like a drum. Facing Huo Qichen's gaze, she dared not disobey him. She reached out her hand tremblingly and unlocked the phone with her fingerprint.
Huo Qichen doesn't like the Internet age and doesn't like chatting on weekdays. But now he opens WeChat and finds the dialog box with ease.
Just a quick glance and you'll understand.
Jian Mo panicked. She suddenly felt that she was incompetent. "Huo Qichen, don't you trust me? What did I do to make you so wary of me?"
The man turned off his phone and threw it aside casually.
"Jian Mo, there's something I didn't want to tell you. Remember Zhao Youzhi?"
Jian Mo's eyes were timid.
How could she not remember that the person she had recruited for the design department with great difficulty was transferred away because he had some ambiguous relationship with her.
Huo Qichen unbuttoned his sleeves slowly. He seemed to be saying something different. "He's a lowly person, so what? If you touch my people, don't even think about getting away with it. Guess where he is now?"
Jian Mo clenched her hands. The last time she heard about Zhao Youzhi was in Jiangcheng.
“…”
"The fastest way to make someone give up is to make them lose everything that's most important to them. Unfortunately, I have the wherewithal to do so."
Huo Qichen's peach blossom eyes slightly raised, which made people shudder.
He held it tighter, it wasn't just a little bit, it was completely there.
As he got closer, Jian Mo stepped back, not daring to look him in the eye.
