Chapter 48: Quarrel Again
Wu Ting closed her eyes, her shoulders twitched, and she cried.
This is nothing short of a nightmare.
"You are a good girl and shouldn't be dragged down by Jian Zhou. You can definitely find a good man to date. So, cancel the engagement. I'm not advising you as Jian Zhou's sister, but from a woman's perspective."
Jian Mo patted her shoulder, and Wu Ting completely lost control, throwing herself into her arms and crying bitterly, "I never thought he was such a person. I thought... I thought... he was really good to me!"
"He just wants to trick you into paying off his debt and suffering with him!"
Jian Mo touched her head and said, "In today's society, love without money is just a mist that will be blown away by the wind."
“…”
After about half an hour, Wu Ting finally calmed down. She promised Jian Mo that she would carefully consider the ending of her relationship with Jian Zhou.
When they walked out of the cafe, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Jian Mo had not eaten yet. She was too hungry and was no longer hungry.
The bus had stopped running, so she could only reluctantly take a taxi back to Mingyuan. Looking at the taxi price, she couldn't help but curse Jian Zhou a thousand times, "How are you going to pay me back for what you owe me?"
The journey was long and Jian Mo was drowsy in the car when her cell phone suddenly vibrated with the note: That man.
"Hello..." She picked up the phone in a daze.
"Where are you?" He was silent, but with a hint of anger in his voice, his tone was a little heavy.
Hearing this voice, Jian Mo immediately woke up.
"Mr. Huo! I'm on my way back now. What's wrong?"
"What time is it?"
He glanced at his phone, "...10:58."
"If you're not back within ten minutes, you don't have to come back."
Huo Qichen was furious. He was sitting on the sofa in Mingyuan with an ugly look on his face.
He got off work early today and thought he would see that impatient woman as soon as he got home, but Ju's mother said that his wife had called and said she would be back later.
That night, it was very late at night.
Huo Qi Chen didn't know what he was waiting for. He had clearly planned to rest, but he couldn't fall asleep. He walked out of the room several times to ask the servants if his wife had returned.
"Not yet...Mr. Huo."
Each time a question is asked, the servant's fear in answering increases by one point.
Huo Qi Chen checked the design department's work assignments for today and found no social engagements. The employees also said that Jian Mo left as soon as she got off work.
What was she doing out there alone in the middle of the night? Huo Qichen recalled the last time Director Zhang had knocked her unconscious, which was terrifying.
So in a state of anxiety, I finally couldn't help but make the call.
Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard outside. Jian Mo opened the door and walked in, looking exhausted. When she raised her eyes, she saw Huo Qichen sitting on the sofa, emitting cold air all over his body.
Seeing him staring at her, she looked innocent and raised her phone, "Mr. Huo, eight minutes, I'm not overtime."
"...Where have you been?"
"I'm going to put the theoretical knowledge you taught me into practice." Jian Mo didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. She excitedly put down her bag and trotted over, intending to tell him about what happened today.
However, when she was about to approach Huo Qi Chen, she suddenly didn't dare to go forward because the man in front of her had a very ugly expression.
Jian Mo finally realized that something was wrong and turned to look at the servant behind her, which meant: What's wrong with him? The servant shook his head at her, with an expression of "unspeakable".
Jian Mo had no choice but to step forward and ask cautiously: "Boss Huo, did I do anything to upset you?"
Suddenly I felt like I was stroking a tiger's fur.
Huo Qichen's hair is not easy to smooth. He raises his eyelids and lowers the corners of his mouth, which makes people intimidated.
"Go on, what shameful things did you do out there in the middle of the night? Are you dating that Doctor Xu again?"
Such cold words, coupled with the mockery in his eyes, made Jian Mo's originally cheerful mood plummet. She asked angrily, "What do you mean by this? I said that Dr. Xu and I are just friends, and you said it as if I was having an affair with him."
Huo Qichen looked directly at her: "Isn't it?"
"...He's a scoundrel." Jian Mo lost his temper and cursed in a low voice.
She hadn't eaten all night and had traveled such a long way, so she was already in a bad mood. She finally got home and had to endure such ridicule. She almost broke down and stood there for a long time, not getting closer to Huo Qi Chen.
"...I thought you could understand me, but it turns out it was just wishful thinking."
After saying that, Jian Mo turned around resolutely and wanted to go upstairs.
Huo Qichen stood up suddenly and grabbed her wrist, anger written on his face: "A girl shouldn't come home so late no matter what happened. You still have the nerve to swear at me, Jian Mo, who gave you the courage?"
Jian Mo shook off the man's big hand, and the anger that had been pent up all night came out.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm not a good girl. My parents don't care what time I go home at night. Mr. Huo, who are you? Why do you care about me? Even if I work for you, can't I use my own time after get off work? It's incomprehensible!"
Jian Mo had been a jerk since she was little. No one in the Jian family cared about her, leaving her to fend for herself. In the past, Jian's father would still take care of her, but then he fell ill, so Huo Qichen was the first person to restrict her from going home at night.
The woman showed her sharp teeth and mouth, looking very aggressive, just like a little hedgehog.
The sentence "Who are you?" made Huo Qichen laugh, "Have you forgotten that even after get off work, you are still mine? Now you are my wife, if I don't take care of you, who will?"
To Jian Mo, these words meant: You have no freedom. Her rage intensified. "Does this mean I have to cooperate with you even when I sleep? You're a capitalist, you're squeezing me to death!"
Huo Qichen suddenly felt that he couldn't talk to this woman. He raised a finger and pointed at the air, saying coldly: "You are being taken for granted. Don't take yourself too seriously."
After saying this, he strode up the stairs, his tall figure still carrying anger.
Who should be angry? Jian Mo pushed her hair back and said to the servant, "Quick, pour me a glass of water. I feel like the fire has reached the top of my head and it will burn me to death soon."
The servant quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over.
"Madam, I've been here for so long, and I've never seen anyone dare to quarrel with the gentleman like this." She gave a thumbs up with admiration on her face.
"Who wants to quarrel with him? It's because he's been pushed into a corner. Listen to what he just said. He's so overbearing and has such a bad temper!"
