Chapter 832 Return Gift
"You could have guessed that?" Old Master Qin was somewhat surprised.
We knew this kid was smart, but nobody told him he was this smart.
"I can't handle this," Huo Zhizhou said calmly. "You should let Qin Mo try his best."
Old Master Qin asked curiously, "Why? Wasn't he no match for you?"
“Even someone you can’t beat can be terrifying when they go crazy.” Huo Zhizhou always knew what he wanted. “I had an agreement with him beforehand that we wouldn’t interfere in each other’s private affairs.”
He was not afraid of Huo Sinian.
But he still has Ruanruan and Suisui.
She can handle Ruan Ruan's situation, but what about Sui Sui?
If Huo Sinian really went crazy, he wouldn't care about the children. After all, at that point, he wouldn't even care about himself anymore.
"Sigh." Old Master Qin sighed, "Then Qin Mo has no chance, right?"
Huo Zhizhou: "?"
Huo Zhizhou: "You have so little confidence in him."
“It’s not that he lacks confidence, it’s that he’s not as ruthless as Huo Sinian.” Old Master Qin thought about what he had just talked to him, his mood was a little complicated. “I just told him not to use the family’s power to act impulsively.”
“Huo Sinian has all the rights of the Huo family,” Huo Zhizhou said. “From this point of view, Qin Mo is indeed inferior.”
Old Master Qin: "It's all your fault!"
Huo Zhizhou glanced sideways.
Old Master Qin: "Why did you give him those things? If you hadn't given them to him, you wouldn't be so arrogant now."
Huo Zhizhou said casually, "It's disgusting to hold."
Old Master Qin got stuck on that sentence.
My heart was filled with mixed emotions, yet also with admiration.
That's the Huo family.
Although it declined somewhat under Huo Cheng's leadership, it enjoyed immense prestige under Huo Zhizhou's grandfather, and under Huo Zhizhou's control, it even surpassed the four major families.
That kind of power and authority, this kid just gave it up like that.
It's hard to find another person with such courage.
"Then why don't you give it to Huo Cheng?" Old Master Qin was unaware of his conflict with the Huo family, let alone what Huo Cheng had done. "Why give it to Huo Sinian?"
Huo Zhizhou did not speak.
I don't want to mention anything about the Huo family anymore.
If Ruan Ruan hadn't saved him, he really would have died there.
"You don't need to worry too much. Although Qin Mo can't pursue someone with the same intensity as Huo Sinian, whether or not you can win someone over doesn't depend on who has more power," Huo Zhizhou said calmly. "It depends on the person being pursued."
"Lin Tan?" Old Master Qin asked.
Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."
Grandpa Qin: "Then how good do you think Qin Mo's chances are?"
Huo Zhizhou was about to say it was a big deal, after all, Lin Tan only felt resistance and fear towards Huo Sinian, but the moment he opened his mouth, he thought of Huo Sinian's crazy nature, especially the things he said when he came to find him.
"If it were me, it would be either die together or stay by my side. There is no third option."
In a short time.
He couldn't give an answer.
"Very small?" Old Master Qin waited anxiously.
"You'll have to ask them," Huo Zhizhou rephrased, "It depends on how strong their desire to be together is."
Old Master Qin sighed.
He did know Qin Mo.
But Lin Tan didn't understand.
Amidst various casual conversations, evening arrived.
Lin Tan was downstairs digesting her meal when she received a call from Qin Mo. She was just about to check the crew group chat for any new announcements when she received the call.
"Hello."
"What are you doing."
"walk."
"How was your stay at the Xie family's house today?" Qin Mo was particularly concerned about this.
"It was very good," Lin Tan replied. "Madam Jun and Mr. Xie were both very kind and polite to me, and they even gave me a gift before I left."
Qin Mo was somewhat surprised.
This is the first time I've ever given a gift on my first visit there.
"What did you give me?" Qin Mo asked.
“A bracelet.” As Lin Tan said this, a mix of emotions flashed in her eyes.
She had considered that it might be something else before she opened it.
For example, simple jewelry, herbal tea gift sets, or individual items such as scarves and shawls.
But she didn't expect it to be a bracelet.
It's still a valuable bracelet.
"Do you know what Madam Jun likes?" Lin Tan had been thinking about this all afternoon. "She gave me such an expensive gift, I want to find some time to give her a return gift."
With her current savings, it would be difficult to get something of equal value back.
But she still felt she should go back.
"I'll ask Xie Yi." Qin Mo had a good relationship with Xie Yi, but he didn't go to the Xie family often and didn't have much contact with them. He only knew some basic things about them.
Lin Tan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
to be honest.
She didn't want Qin Mo to go to Xie Yi.
From their brief encounter at noon, she knew that Xie Yi didn't like her very much. If Qin Moruo asked him about it, it would inevitably make their already strained relationship worse, or even more so.
"Never mind," she said carefully. "I'll ask the boss in a couple of days."
Qin Mo paused.
I noticed her unusual behavior.
"Xie Yi bullied you?" That was his most intuitive guess.
"No." Lin Tan didn't want him to misunderstand, so she thought for a long time and came up with an excuse. "I just don't want him to know that if you ask, whether you try to find out or ask directly, he will definitely guess that you asked on my behalf."
Qin Mo didn't reply.
Lin Tan continued, "It wouldn't be good if he told Madam Jun."
“I’ll just talk to the boss,” Lin Tan continued. “He needs to be outgoing so that no one will suspect anything he asks.”
"Okay." Qin Mo didn't insist. "Just let me know if you need anything."
Lin Tan hummed in agreement.
The two chatted about other things before hanging up.
Throughout the entire process, Qin Mo did not mention her background or ask her if she needed help.
She will tell him if she wants him to know.
I haven't told him yet because I don't want him to know.
He'll talk to her after he's found out everything.
The call ended.
Lin Tan sent a message to Jiang Ruan.
I originally wanted to send it to Qin Jiangye, but then I thought that he was my boss after all, and it wouldn't be appropriate to send him personal information.
Jiang Ruan replied more than half an hour later: 【Okay.】
Lin Tan: [Thank you.]
Jiang Ruan: [You're welcome.]
That night, Lin Tan kept thinking about this matter.
Fortunately, Jiang Ruan gave her the results the next afternoon. She first explained Madam Jun's situation and then told her the results.
"Madam Jun is not short of money, there's no need to send expensive gifts." Jiang Ruan relayed what she knew to her, "She doesn't sleep very well, so we could send her something to help her sleep and calm her nerves."
Lin Tan sent a voice message to express her gratitude: "Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner another day."
Jiang Ruan: "Okay."
She didn't stand on ceremony with her.
Knowing that if she didn't eat this meal, Lin Tan would probably have to find a way to give her a gift.
Chi Qian told her the news. Although she didn't want to marry Xie Yi, she had a good relationship with Madam Jun, and Madam Jun would confide in her.
After a while, they met again.
The two had a relationship similar to that of a mother and daughter.
Upon learning this news, Lin Tan contacted her friend Xi Mo, who was in the entertainment industry.
She met him while filming a movie.
Later, they became good friends because they shared similar interests.
I also know that besides her, her parents and brother are all practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine.
He is especially famous in the medical community.
"Lin Tan?" Xi Mo was a little surprised, and hummed twice, "It's rare for you to take the initiative to call me. You've got some free time now?"
Lin Tan touched his nose.
I feel a little guilty.
Previously, while she was with Huo Sinian, she had very little contact with her friends because he kept a close eye on her and controlled her all the time. The last time she had an offline gathering was on New Year's Eve.
