Chapter 78 Her Past
"You can't blame me entirely. My husband is lying in the hospital, and my son was...sent to that hellish place by you again. How can an old woman like me survive? I need some money to live. The only one I can count on now is Jian Mo!"
Start the self-torture tactic.
Huo Qichen threw the car keys into the car and seemed to be in no hurry anymore. "You said you raised Jian Mo for more than ten years, so tell me how you did it?"
Mother Jane was stumped by the question and stammered for a long time without being able to say anything.
"When she was in high school, she insisted on going to some summer camp. My old man took on a part-time job to support her. And when she went to college, he used all his savings of over a decade to pay for her tuition. Otherwise, she wouldn't be where she is today!" Her eyes wandered. "What's the point of a girl studying so much? In the end, she still has to get married, and there's no dowry!"
Huo Qichen listened, and the last bit of emotion he had left disappeared.
"What about after I go to college?"
Mother Jian lost her confidence and lowered her voice. "She worked part-time while in college and rarely came home. She came back a few times to give her father money, a couple of thousand. He hid it well and never gave it to us."
There is plenty of time in college, and it is not difficult to work and study, but it is not easy to save money while balancing studies and deducting living expenses.
Jian Mo's frugality is far beyond imagination. No wonder she is so frugal in her daily life.
"Mr. Huo..."
Huo Qichen came back to his senses, glanced at the woman, and said in a cold tone, "You have a good daughter, but she doesn't have a good mother."
Mother Jian clung to the car door, begging, "Look at me..."
"One hundred thousand will be transferred to your account tonight. If I see you in front of Jian Mo again, you will bear the consequences. I advise you to stop causing trouble, even for your son. I will never show mercy when I take action."
Huo Qichen threw down these words and slammed the car door. Mother Jian was thrown back and fell to the ground. She was obviously dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say anything more. This man was not simple, as if he could really kill people.
There was an elevator going up and down in the parking lot. Someone walked out and was startled. "Assistant Mu, why are you here?"
Mu Yi walked out from the corner, his face looking very ugly, "Nothing."
She got into her car and leaned over the steering wheel, feeling a splitting headache. She didn't feel good when she heard Huo Qichen admit with her own ears that he was marrying Jian Mo.
How could it be! His tone and attitude just now clearly showed that he cared about that woman!
Mu Yi always thought that her enemies would be those famous ladies from aristocratic families, dazzling stars in the entertainment industry, or sexy and smart women at work, but she never expected that the person who would end up marrying Huo Qichen would be an ordinary woman who had nothing!
She had read Jian Mo's file. Not only did she have nothing, she had no outstanding work ability, was plain-looking, and came from a dishonorable family. Her mother and brother were not good people. Huo Qichen was the bright moon hanging high in the sky. How could he fall for such a girl?
Mu Yi gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes bloodshot, she was unwilling to lose.
In the rearview mirror, the embarrassed figure was getting farther and farther away.
Jane's mother's words lingered in his mind. Huo Qichen stepped on the accelerator, feeling anxious.
Mingyuan, he and Jian Mo arrived at the same time.
After having cosmetic surgery, her face looked better. She was surprised to see Huo Qichen's Porsche. She quickly walked over and knocked on the window, "Why did you get off work so early today?"
Jian Mo took off her mask. When she looked at someone seriously, her eyes seemed to glow, and she looked sincere.
For a moment, Huo Qichen was almost sucked in. He didn't rush to get out of the car, but lowered the window and asked, "Where did you go?"
"..." Jian Mo felt that his mood was not right, so she didn't dare to act presumptuously. "I, I went out for a while. What's wrong?"
"I asked you where you were going?" Huo Qichen was unmoved, his eyes were cold and emotionless.
"I went to the beauty salon."
Jian Mo finally told the truth, because her troubled face did not fit her personality in front of Huo Qichen, so she didn't want to say it.
But since he asked this, he must have known it.
Huo Qi Chen finally got out of the car and walked into the villa. She followed him like a rabbit.
"Huo Qi Chen...?" How did he know.
The servant took off Huo Qichen's coat. He tilted his head slightly, his neck line elegant and charming. "Facial?"
"Well, because I want to remove the scar and go to work early." Jian Mo was afraid of being misunderstood and couldn't wait to explain.
Huo Qichen leaned over and lifted her chin to look at her. There were tiny hairs on her fair face, which made her look very young. She was not wearing lipstick, but her lips were bright red. He narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's getting better. Have you applied for a card?"
Jian Mo was surprised that he would suddenly care about these issues. She shook her head and said, "No, it's too expensive. I only plan to go once or twice."
"Which beauty salon? I'll ask someone to open a card for you."
Huo Qi Chen let go of her, calmly and nonchalantly.
Jian Mo was suspicious. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered by being so blatant? "Isn't this bad?"
He didn't say anything, and his emotions were hard to understand, but it always made people feel that he was actually very easy to talk to today.
Jian Mo mustered up the courage to grab Huo Qichen's hand, which was icy cold. "Huo Qichen, you open a card for me. What if I get caught?"
His eyes lingered on his clenched hand. "It's okay. I'll open it in the name of an employee."
Jian Mo smiled brightly and charmingly.
"Everyone is an employee. No wonder Mr. Zhou said I was Bao Si. Huo Qi Chen, what if one day I really become Bao Si?" She deliberately pretended to be charming, with pure and seductive eyes, because she was sure that she would not be pushed away.
Although he was clearly smoking, he didn't smell of cigarettes, no smell at all, just like his expression, which made people want to pull him down from the altar.
Huo Qichen pried her hands apart one by one, "That day will never come."
Jian Mo raised her hands above her head in a gesture of surrender, "Really? But if it were you in the past, you would immediately shake my hand off and scold me for dreaming. But you hesitated just now."
The warmth of hands still remains, making people nostalgic.
Huo Qichen pulled out a wet tissue and wiped his hands clean bit by bit, "What now?"
Jian Mo choked, which made her behavior just now seem extremely shameless.
"Sorry, I don't want to play anymore."
Huo Qi Chen didn't say much and strode upstairs.
Jian Mo leaned against the door with a playful expression.
Will that day ever come? Even though nothing has changed, her woman's intuition tells her that something is different.
Huo Qichen has one good thing, that is he never makes empty promises and he will definitely do what he says.
The next morning, when Jian Mo woke up, she found a gold card of a beauty salon beside her bed. The maid told her that with the gold card, she could get free beauty treatments within ten years and also enjoy VIP treatment.
