Chapter 72 Will You Divorce?
The intention was too obvious and was seen through at a glance. Huo Qichen's expression was quite contemptuous.
Jian Mo felt embarrassed and ran to put on her slippers, but she didn't notice the man behind her with a dark but happy expression.
For the next few days, Jian Mo stayed at home to recuperate, and would go to the hospital for a follow-up check when she had time. The doctor said that it was just a skin injury, and it would heal after removing the gauze and applying ointment for a few days, and it would not leave a scar.
Jian Mo was very happy to hear that.
When the doctor prescribed the medicine, he said, "Girl, the man who sent you here that day is your husband, right?"
Jian Mo was a little surprised. Huo Qichen didn't show up much in public, so people outside the circle probably wouldn't recognize him. She tried to test him, "Is it obvious?"
"Oh, it's practically written all over your face. He looked so mad when he brought you in that day. He wanted to call all the doctors to save you. You were covered in blood. I almost wanted to call the police, but when I saw you were only skin wounds."
The doctor's description was very exaggerated. Jian Mo didn't expect that to outsiders, Huo Qichen looked like this at the time.
"Sorry for making me laugh." The blood was not hers, but Li Qianjing's.
She hadn't seen Huo Qi Chen these days. He seemed to be very busy and would not return to Mingyuan until late at night every day. His car would be parked in the yard. Huo Qi Chen looked up and could see Jian Mo sitting on the bedroom balcony.
After entering the door, Jian Mo walked downstairs in slippers, stepped forward to take off his coat and hang it up for him, "What do you want to eat tonight? I asked Ju Ma to prepare one dish from each of the eight major cuisines. There must be something that suits your taste."
Huo Qichen frowned suspiciously, "Ju Ma did it, what does it have to do with you?"
"I helped add the seasoning." Jian Mo said confidently.
He raised an eyebrow.
Jian Mo pushed his back and walked forward, "I'm a patient and can't cook. Can you be considerate and give me a few bites?"
Huo Qi Chen was forced to sit in the main seat, but he didn't touch the table full of delicious food because he had already eaten tonight.
Eat with Li Wanli.
Still in Heaven on Earth, still in the same box, he was also playing cards with Huo Qichen, with a sly smile, "Boss Huo, I was ignorant and touched your woman. I apologize here."
Huo Qichen remained calm, "It was my impulsiveness. If your brother hadn't touched Huo's employees, I would have stayed out of this matter."
Li Wanli's face was full of shrewdness. He spread his hands and said, "I'm afraid it's not just the employees. These days, the circle has been going crazy, saying that Mr. Huo, you are so angry for the beauty, and that person might be the future Mrs. Huo."
This is true. Liang Qiu is right. This move will attract countless attention. Recently, people in the circle have been talking about who the woman Huo Qichen saved is. But in the end, they only knew that she was an employee of Huo's company, and no other information was revealed.
Huo Qichen strictly blocked the news, and this behavior itself was very intriguing.
"It's just a rumor. I'm not like Liang Qi, who has great luck with women. You know that, Mr. Li." Huo Qichen poured himself a glass of wine. "This glass of wine is an apology to your brother. In addition, the one million will be converted into cash and sent to his villa."
He drank it all in one gulp, his lips turning bright red.
Li Wanli narrowed his eyes. He didn't buy the superficial apology. He thought that Huo Qichen was provoking him. One million was just a drop in the bucket for him.
"Let's be frank. I hope that President Huo will raise the price for the Wanjing acquisition. This won't be difficult for you." Li Wanli lit a cigar and puffed away. "Mr. Huo's deeds haven't reached Zhou Liangqi's ears yet. Otherwise, when he returns from his business trip and learns about this, he might start a vicious competition to acquire Wanjing. I'm doing this for your own good."
"If I remember correctly, two days ago, President Li threatened to give Wan Jing to Liang Qi instead of giving it to me." Huo Qi Chen chuckled softly, but in the ambiguous light and shadow, his profile was gloomy.
Li Wanli choked and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Boss Huo, I'm not going to play dumb with you. If I use Qian Jing's injury assessment to sue your employee in court, you won't have time to deal with me."
When Jian Mo was mentioned, Huo Qichen's expression changed slightly. He put down his cup and said, "Mr. Li, do you know where your brother brought Jian Zhou out?"
"Who is Jian Zhou?" Li Wanli didn't even understand this deeply.
"The beginning of this case." Huo Qichen reminded compassionately.
"Where?"
"My Mandarin Hotel." The man opposite gave a sly smile, as if everything was under control. "Your brother's hands are stained with blood. He must have done a lot of shameful things over the years. Let alone usury, the violent debt collection alone is enough to get him thoroughly investigated."
Li Wanli was a pot-bellied man, and he hadn't been involved in many things over the years, so naturally he didn't understand. He snorted coldly, "Boss Huo, don't forget, I have someone above me."
"Mr. Li, don't forget that Wenhua's ability to stand in Haicheng for so many years is not in vain." Huo Qichen's voice was fast, and his momentum was so strong that it made people silent.
This night was destined to end in a bad mood, and by the end his face was completely gloomy.
"I'd also like to see if Mr. Li's superiors can protect you from the charge of embezzling a huge amount of public funds."
The waiter was just bringing in tea when Huo Qichen took a long step past him and walked out of the private room. Mu Yi, who was waiting outside, immediately followed him, "Boss Huo, isn't this too radical? We haven't taken Wanjing yet. What if Li Wanli is really saved by then..."
"He can't be saved." Huo Qichen said decisively.
Mu Yi was slightly stunned. She had followed this man for so many years and rarely saw him act irrationally. But recently on this big project, she saw him losing control frequently, and the source of it was all related to that woman.
"Remember to handle the situation with Wenhua cleanly and don't let anyone get hold of anything." Huo Qichen reminded calmly.
"Okay. So how is that employee doing now? I can go and offer my condolences on behalf of the company." Mu Yi tried to remain calm and objective.
Huo Qichen glanced at her sideways and said, "No need."
“…” Mu Yi pursed her lips, her eyes full of jealousy.
"What has Zhou Liangqi been doing recently?"
"Something went wrong with a project at his branch company. Someone died, and the public opinion hasn't been properly handled, so he's gone to deal with it. He'll be too busy in Haicheng for the time being."
"knew."
Huo Qi Chen pulled himself out of his recollections and saw Jian Mo leaning half of her body on the table, holding a bowl of corn and pork ribs soup and attentively handing it to him.
"It's very sweet, want to try it?"
She smiled sweetly, as if she didn't care at all whether he had eaten it or not.
Huo Qichen took it. He ate very elegantly, taking small sips and finishing it quickly. "Are you going to the hospital to remove the gauze today?"
"Yeah, but there's still a scar. It's really ugly before it heals properly."
"It's not serious. It will be fine after a few days." Huo Qi Chen pinched her chin and examined her under the light.
Jian Mo forced herself to accept the physical contact, her body stiff, her eyes fixed on him, "Huo Qichen, if my face is really disfigured, will you divorce me?"
