Chapter 136 What will you give me in exchange?
After Qi Lin accompanied Qi Hang to the hospital to treat his wounds, it was already very late, and the two quietly returned home.
At this time on weekdays, their parents should already be resting.
Qi Hang didn't look presentable in his current state, and Qi Lin was also afraid of being implicated, so the two of them entered the villa like thieves.
Qi Wende had a lot to deal with today and had been busy until now. He came out of his study, intending to go downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat, when he saw Qi Hang and his sister acting suspiciously at the top of the stairs.
Qi Hang wore a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, completely covering his face. He looked left and right as soon as he entered the room.
Qi Lin did the same, crouching down and scanning the first-floor living room. When she didn't see anyone, she straightened up.
"Brother, no one's home. Mom and Dad must be asleep, and the servants have all gone back to rest."
Qi Hang breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't forget the conditions you promised me, or you'll be in big trouble."
"I know," Qi Lin muttered, "but I don't think you have much of a chance."
Qi Hang grabbed Qi Lin by the back of the neck, "Dare you say that again?"
"Is this how you bully your sister behind her back?" Qi Wende came downstairs and glared coldly at Qi Hang.
Qi Hang quickly let go of her hand, "Dad, you're still awake? I was just joking around with Qi Lin."
Qi Lin nodded in agreement.
Qi Wende glanced at Qi Hang sideways, "Wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, are you out of your mind?"
Qi Hang's first reaction was to cover his face with his hand, "My eyes are watering in the wind, wearing sunglasses will help."
"Take off your sunglasses and mask," Qi Wende said coldly.
Qi Hang dared not disobey his father's orders, and slowly took off his mask and sunglasses, revealing a face that was bruised and swollen.
Qi Wende's eyes turned cold and sharp. "How did this happen?"
How did the eldest son of the Qi family get beaten up like this? Who in City B would dare to hit Qi Hang? Is this someone going against the Qi family?
Qi Hang didn't say anything.
Qi Wende looked at Qi Lin, "Linlin, do you know who beat your brother up like this?"
Qi Lin didn't dare to meet Qi Wende's gaze, her eyes darting away as she looked elsewhere. "I know, but I can't say."
She had promised Qi Hang that she wouldn't mention this matter again, and the bodyguards who went with Qi Hang had also been warned by him.
"Speak!" Qi Wende roared, and the Qi siblings trembled all over.
"My brother was beaten up like this by Sister Chu Rou." Qi Lin's mouth was faster than her brain, and she blurted it out under Qi Wende's imposing aura.
Chu Rou? That name sounds familiar.
Qi Wende remembered; it was the female companion Qi Hang brought to the banquet, or the woman Qi Hang had taken a liking to.
"You got beaten up like this by a woman?" Qi Wende frowned. "Couldn't you have dodged? Or do you have some kind of unusual fetish?"
Qi Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Qi Wende glared at her and said, "You still have the nerve to laugh? Aren't you on good terms with that Chu Rou? You just watched her beat your brother up like this!"
“Dad,” Qi Lin said, her smile fading, “it was a normal match between Sister Chu Rou and my brother. It was my brother’s fault for not wearing protective gear. He really couldn’t beat Sister Chu Rou. He didn’t hold back.”
"You can't even beat a woman?" Qi Wende's brow furrowed even deeper. "What a piece of trash!"
Qi Wende felt ashamed. With such a useless son, how could he entrust the Qi family to him in the future?
“Chu Rou is no ordinary woman.” Qi Hang’s words aggravated the wound on the corner of his mouth, causing him to hiss in pain.
Qi Wende got angry at him and kicked him, saying, "Get out and live outside for the next few days, don't let your mother see you like this."
Qi Hang twitched his eye; his buttock injury had worsened. He put on sunglasses and a mask, turned around, and left.
"Dad, I'm going back to my room to sleep," Qi Lin said and ran upstairs.
Qi Wende sighed; neither of these two children was easy to deal with.
This Chu Rou has piqued his interest; she's quite extraordinary to be able to charm both his children.
He wanted to see what magic this girl possessed. If she was really as good as Qi Hang said, he wouldn't mind letting Qi Hang marry her.
...
After Meimei took a nap, Chu Rou was fully recharged and even got up early to make breakfast.
Mo Chi stared at Chu Rou with a resentful look in his eyes.
Chu Rou smiled and ruffled Mo Chi's hair, "Mo Bao, be good. There's still a lot of work to do at the company today, so don't be late."
She bent down and kissed Mo Chi's cheek, then winked at him, "How about we go to bed early tonight?"
Understanding Chu Rou's implication, Mo Chi relaxed his brows this time, pressed Chu Rou down onto his lap, and caressed her waist with his large hand, "Then you'll listen to me tonight."
Chu Rou nodded, "I'll do whatever you say."
A smile appeared on Mo Chi's face as he released Chu Rou and began to eat breakfast.
To avoid trouble, Mo Chi and Chu Rou arrived at the company in two separate cars, one after the other.
When Chu Rou arrived at the company, she put her bag on the desk and glanced behind her unintentionally.
Everyone except Qi Lin has arrived.
This morning, out of curiosity, Chu Rou asked Mo Chi how he knew she and Qi Hang were together last night.
It was Mo Yuan who specifically went to inform Mo Chi.
Mo Yuan said she was on a date with Qi Hang, probably to test Mo Chi's attitude.
But how did Mo Yuan know? Chu Rou suspected that one of the three secretaries behind her was Mo Yuan's informant. She wasn't sure who it was yet, and could only observe slowly.
Qi Lin arrived at the company right on time.
When Chu Rou saw her arrive, she quietly asked her about Qi Hang's situation.
“My brother is fine. Apart from being unable to bear the sight, he’s alright,” Qi Lin replied.
Chu Rou felt relieved.
Mo Chi called Chu Rou to his office to discuss the bidding for the ocean shipping project.
To write a tender document, you need to understand the company's previous ocean shipping logistics data, which you need to obtain from Moyuan.
“I’ll go ask Mo Yuan for it,” Chu Rou said.
Mo Chi disagreed, "He has always had ill intentions towards you, I'd better go myself."
“He’ll definitely make things difficult for you,” Chu Rou disagreed. “I’ll go instead. It’s my job anyway. He wouldn’t dare do anything to me at the company.”
"If he dares to lay a hand on me, I'll kick him!"
Mo Chi still didn't want Chu Rou to go to Mo Yuan, but Chu Rou wouldn't listen to him at all. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "Fine, it's settled then. It's not like we're going to die, why are you so conflicted!"
After finishing her sentence, Chu Rou turned and left Mo Chi's office, going straight upstairs to find Mo Yuan.
Chu Rou walked to the door of Mo Yuan's office and knocked.
"Come in!" came Mo Yuan's lazy voice from inside.
Chu Rou pushed open the door and walked in. Mo Yuan and his assistant in the office both looked at her.
Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise. "What can I do for you, Assistant Chu?"
Chu Rou walked to the opposite side of Mo Yuan's desk and stood there. "Mr. Yuan, we need the company's transportation data for the past three years for our ocean freight tender. We hope you can provide it."
Mo Yuan gave his assistant a wink, and the assistant left the office and closed the door behind him.
“You want the data? Fine,” Mo Yuan stood up and walked up to Chu Rou. “What will you offer me in exchange?”
