Chapter 21 Don't Care
"What's up?"
Yao Wei replied: "My wife asked when you will be home."
Inevitably, Cen Xihuai thought of the agreement they had made before.
Xu Qingwu called today, is she wanting to go on a date with him tomorrow?
His original plan was to finalize the contract tonight according to the initially agreed terms and then take the earliest flight back tomorrow, but the partner temporarily modified the contract, so the signing was put on hold and it would take a few days to renegotiate the terms.
Inside the car, Cen Xihuai tapped his legs lightly with his fingers.
Soon, he made a decision.
"Go back tomorrow morning as planned and sign with Ruisheng."
Ruisheng's price is one point higher than Ousheng's. One point of cost may not sound like much, but the actual profit will be tens of millions less.
Yao Wei's face flashed with surprise, but he quickly returned to normal: "Okay, Mr. Cen."
When Ou Sheng got the news, the person in charge, Ou Mingyao, almost overturned the gambling table. Ou Sheng held an internal meeting overnight. Ou Mingyao's father scolded him, blaming him for being ignorant of the world and daring to modify the contract without authorization, which led to the termination of the cooperation. He asked him to keep Cen Xihuai by any means.
Ou Mingyao had already inquired and found out that the only companies that could meet the requirements of the Cen family were them and Ruisheng. In order to win the cooperation, they offered a price one point lower than Ruisheng, but he wanted to make some money back from other places so that he could take the opportunity to prove his ability to his father.
The treaty he modified was far less than one point. Even if Cen Xihuai agreed to modify the treaty and cooperate with his family, it would still be more cost-effective than Ruisheng. Moreover, Cen Xihuai did not reject it on the spot during the meeting. Why did he suddenly stop discussing it?
This is definitely not just a matter of money.
Ou Mingyao couldn't figure out the reason, so he called Yao Wei.
As soon as the call was connected, he politely asked, "Assistant Yao, can I ask why Mr. Cen suddenly refused to cooperate? At the end of the meeting, he said we'd discuss it again tomorrow morning."
Yao Wei thought to himself, who told you to break your promise and delay the boss's schedule? The boss has a wife to accompany him now!
Yao Wei was equally polite: "Boss Xiao Ou, this is Boss Cen's decision. I'm not too sure about it. Sorry."
After hanging up the phone, Ou Mingyao angrily cursed: "Fuck!"
"Go find out where Cen Xihuai lives and send him a woman."
Ou Mingyao's friend stopped him: "Don't do anything rash. Everyone knows that Cen Xihuai doesn't like women."
"Then give me a man?" Ou Mingyao was about to go crazy, but suddenly remembered, "No, didn't I hear he got married?"
"That's what happened."
"Then give it to a woman. As for a man, if you make him happy, you can let him do anything."
The hotel where Cen Xihuai stayed was arranged by Ou Sheng. He came out after taking a shower.
Thinking about the call Xu Qingwu had made to him before but he didn't answer, he should call her back out of courtesy.
So he found Xu Qingwu's profile picture and made a voice call to her.
The call just got connected.
Cen Xihuai suddenly smelled a strong fragrance.
There was a beautiful woman on the bed, wearing sexy black stockings, walking towards her in a seductive manner.
"Hello?"
"Boss Cen..."
The voice on the phone overlapped with the voice in the room, and Cen Xihuai's face darkened: "Get lost."
The voice call was disconnected.
The woman deliberately fell in front of him, arched her hips towards him, and said in a charming and pitiful voice: "My necklace fell off. I will leave after I find it, okay?"
Cen Xihuai's patience ran out. He picked up the woman's clothes, which were made of little fabric, and threw them out the door without even looking at her.
He locked the door and washed his hands three times before going out and asked Yao Wei to rebook a hotel.
The chat interface on the screen shows the call being hung up.
How could it be such a coincidence?
He called Xu Qingwu back, but no one answered.
He called again, but still no one answered. Cen Xihuai found the phone and called her, but it was still the same.
Are you angry?
Was it because he heard the woman's voice, or because he heard him say "get out"?
Cen Xihuai rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.
The call was not connected, so he did not continue. He believed that the innocent would be cleared and he would be able to explain it clearly when he returned home tomorrow.
It was already afternoon when we returned to Chuyue Mansion from the airport.
Cen Xihuai entered the house and looked around but couldn't find the person who called to ask him when he would be home.
Xu Qingwu is not at home.
Cen Xihuai sent her a message: "Where are you?"
Xu Qingwu was eating with Cen Yue and Xia Xiaoxiao at a popular ice cream parlor. It was a rare opportunity for them to go there, so they ordered a lot of food.
When getting together with her sisters, Xu Qingwu is used to putting her cell phone in her bag and chatting with them in her spare time.
It was a popular restaurant and it was Sunday, so there were quite a lot of people and the meals were served one after another.
It was already early in the morning when we got off the plane and arrived at the hotel last night. After removing makeup, taking a shower and doing a complete set of skin care, the three of us were very tired. We slept in the hotel until noon, then put on makeup and went out.
Now that they had eaten and drunk their fill, the three of them were in the mood to chat over a drink.
Cen Yue: "I want to announce something."
Xu Qingwu knew what she was going to say and silently poked the cake under the milk tea.
"I want a divorce."
Xia Xiaoxiao said slowly, "Really? I don't believe it."
It is no exaggeration to say that Cen Yue has said this eight hundred times.
"Your reaction is exactly the same as Qi Yan's."
How can that be different? Isn’t it basic to learn the story of the boy who cried wolf since childhood?
Seeing that Cen Yue and Xu Qingwu were silent, Xia Xiaoxiao's expression became serious: "Are you serious?"
Cen Yue: “It’s packaged.”
Xia Xiaoxiao sighed, "Could this be the legendary story? My sisters are all divorced, and I'm still single and croaking like a frog?"
Cen Yue and Xu Qingwu were amused by her worried look.
The three of them went outside the venue.
Although the tickets showed that the show didn't start until six o'clock, some people were selling cheering items. Cen Yue and Xia Xiaoxiao each held one of Xu Qingwu's arms and pulled her over.
They both follow the same group, but Xia Xiaoxiao likes the dance leader while Cen Yue likes the front row. They both bought a lot of support items for each other.
The two argued over the distribution of Xu Qingwu.
Xu Qingwu couldn't stand them, so she took the headbands from their hands and put both on her head.
"Isn't that enough?"
"Why is Xiaoyue wearing it in the front, but I can't see mine when I wear it in the back?"
"I'm about to get a divorce, can't you give in?"
"...Okay." Xia Xiaoxiao lost for the first time. In the past, when they quarreled, Xia Xiaoxiao would just say, "I have a congenital heart disease," and Cen Yue would stop arguing with her.
After the two of them had labeled themselves, each of them took a name tag and looked at Xu Qingwu tacitly.
Xu Qingwu closed his eyes and accepted his fate: "Come on."
Cen Yue was very satisfied and clicked on the original camera to take a selfie. Even though Xu Qingwu didn't like taking pictures, she didn't spoil the fun and cooperated by taking a few pictures.
Cen Yue picked one and posted it on her Moments.
…
The weather warning on his mobile phone indicated strong winds, so Cen Xihuai turned on the fresh air and closed the windows to prevent the wind from blowing sand and flying catkins into the room.
After entering the children's room and closing the window, Cen Xihuai saw the quilt spread out casually on the bed and went over to fold it neatly.
When he was about to go out, Cen Xihuai stopped because of the book on the table.
The book was open to the title page, and at the bottom was a sentence written in pen: "To Z: Everything and I are absurd silence."
Cen Xihuai accidentally saw the second half of this sentence in a love letter written to him by someone else: I miss you at this moment.
Who is Z?
Who did Xu Qingwu like before?
Cen Xihuai's eyes darkened, but he soon calmed down and closed the book.
Everyone has a past, he doesn't care.
The phone kept vibrating. It was a message from the family group. It turned out that Xu Qingwu and Cen Yue went to a concert.
Xu Qingwu is in the middle of the photo.
Her cheeks were pressed against G and D, and her eyes were curved with a smile.
Cen Xihuai felt inexplicably irritated. Who the hell were G and D?
