Chapter 928 No Chance
Watching them bicker, Lin Tan felt a pang of envy.
Qin Mo noticed it.
He squeezed her palm, his eyes filled with comfort and affection as he looked at her.
They argued for a while longer, even dragging Xie Yi into the argument, before finally the matter between him and Chi Qian was over.
Ten minutes later.
Qin Mo and Lin Tan left, and Xie Yi saw them off.
Before getting into the car, Qin Mo looked at Xie Yi, who remained as casual and indifferent as ever, and asked him directly, "Did you and Chi Qian really just have a meal to discuss business?"
Xie Yi: "?"
Xie Yi looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Or you could date like you do."
“Chi Qian doesn’t want to get married, nor is she interested in dating,” Qin Mo said bluntly. “So you probably won’t be able to find someone.”
Xie Yi remained silent.
It was as if his words were just nonsense to him.
Qin Mo didn't say anything more, got into the car and left.
As the car drove out of Xie Yi's sight, Xie Yi glanced at the message Chi Qian had sent him on his phone. Mo Che's eyes were filled with a smile that he himself didn't realize.
As for Qin Mo...
After getting into the car, Lin Tan asked with some curiosity, "What did you mean by what you just said? Is Xie Yi pursuing Chi Qian?"
"I don't know." Qin Mo didn't give a direct answer, "But it couldn't have been a simple dinner to discuss cooperation."
Lin Tan: "Why?"
Qin Mo: "Xie Yi is not the kind of person who would meet and have dinner with someone repeatedly for the same thing. Even if the other party is the most important partner of Xie Group, he will resolve the issue quickly."
"You mean, even if they discuss cooperation, Xie Yi deliberately drags out the process?" Lin Tan's mind worked quickly, and she guessed it immediately.
Qin Mo nodded.
Lin Tan: "Then why doesn't he admit it? Aunt Jun and Uncle Xie are quite satisfied with Chi Qian, aren't they? It seems that the Chi family doesn't have any objections to them being together either."
“Chi Qian rejects arranged marriages between families.” Qin Mo had a general understanding of this from Chi Yuan’s words. “She has refused ever since the two families started trying to bring them together.”
Lin Tan listened attentively.
Qin Mo continued, "Now that Chi Qian has leverage, she will most likely be able to gain freedom regarding marriage."
"What kind of bargaining chips?" Lin Tan asked curiously.
"Her relationship with Jiang Ruan." Qin Mo saw through many things. "The Chi family wanted her to marry into the family because they wanted to gain more benefits through the marriage, but her relationship with Jiang Ruan has already achieved that value."
Since Jiang Ruan took over the company and started investing in other companies, she and Chi Qian have been collaborating, and their collaboration has been very successful.
“He’s a really nice person,” Lin Tan said.
Qin Mo: "Who?"
Lin Tan: "Thank you, Yi."
Qin Mo: "?"
Qin Mo was somewhat surprised: "Why do you say that?"
“Although I’m not from your circle, I roughly know that if the Chi family forces Chi Qian to marry Xie Yi, Chi Qian probably still won’t be able to refuse.” Lin Tan is very smart and can apply what he’s learned to other situations. “With both sets of parents satisfied with the marriage, he didn’t use that to force Chi Qian to marry him.”
The documents Madam Yu gave her were mostly about arranged marriages.
The relationships are also marked above.
"We're not pressuring him now because it's not the right time yet." Qin Mo knew Xie Yi to some extent. "But after our wedding, Aunt Jun and Uncle Xie will most likely start urging him."
"Huh?" Lin Tan was quite surprised.
“It’s not just him, Chi Yuan will also be pressured.” Qin Mo knew very well, “The three of us have been compared to each other since we were little.”
Lin Tan: "Then you can still be good friends?"
Qin Mo: "It came out of competition."
We've known each other since childhood, but we became close friends through a series of events.
The three are very competitive, but when one of them falls into trouble or is in difficulty, the other two will lend a helping hand.
"Didn't they say anything when you got married?" Lin Tan thought about how the two of them would be pressured to get married again after the wedding.
"No." Qin Mo knew them both well. "If they can't even handle such basic matters, they won't be able to handle some of the more difficult business partners."
Lin Tan asked in confusion, "So you just said Xie Yi didn't force me because it wasn't the right time yet?"
“Men are goal-oriented creatures,” Qin Mo told her frankly. “Just like when I’m sure you won’t choose Huo Sinian, I’ll wait patiently, giving you freedom and time. But when he finds out you’ve agreed to return to Huo Sinian’s identity, he’ll use force to take you back.”
He can be rational and wait.
But the premise is that everything is within his control.
“But Chi Qian won’t get married,” Lin Tan said.
“Just because she won’t, doesn’t mean the Xie and Chi families won’t arrange for him to marry another daughter of the Chi family.” Qin Mo said, word by word, “Once the marriage is settled, it will be too late for him to say anything.”
Xie Yi is capable, but he is also filial.
He can keep maneuvering within a controllable range, but once the deadline arrives, he can no longer maneuver.
Born into a family like theirs, they were destined to get married and have children.
Lin Tan thought back to the last time she had dinner with Junyi, and how bright, cheerful, humorous, and witty Chi Qian was at the dinner table.
I roughly understand why she doesn't want to get married.
"Take a good rest these few days and get plenty of rest." Qin Mo steered the conversation back to their own affairs. "Although the wedding process has been simplified, there are still many elders to meet, so you must be very tired."
"Mm." Lin Tan nodded.
"Don't worry about Huo Sinian showing up," Qin Mo reassured her. "I've made all the necessary preparations. Jiang Ruan and her bodyguards will protect you, and Xie Yi and Chi Yuan will also provide security."
Lin Tan nodded: "I know."
At the same time.
Huo Sinian's side.
He had just finished dealing with company matters and was about to leave work when Secretary Ye reported to him: "Mr. Huo, all the wedding invitations for Qin Mo and Miss Lin Tan have been sent out."
Huo Sinian: "Neither the Lu family nor the Huo family received it?"
Secretary Ye: "No."
Huo Sinian: "What about Gu Shixi and Ye Yanzhi?"
"No, not at all." Secretary Ye knew everything in detail. "Qin Mo didn't invite anyone from Jingzhou to the wedding. Apart from the Second Young Master, no one else attended."
"They're really cautious." Huo Sinian was somewhat surprised.
The wedding of the Qin family patriarch is no small matter.
On a normal scale, everyone in high society would be invited, as it is a rare opportunity for networking.
"Shall we proceed as planned? Should we use the Xie couple to negotiate?" Secretary Ye asked.
Huo Sinian did not speak.
The eyes behind the glasses made it impossible to see what he was thinking.
Secretary Ye cautioned, "If we really take Chairman Xie and Madam Jun into custody, it would be tantamount to offending the two major families in Haicheng."
"Is Lin Tan's sister going to the wedding?" Huo Sinian asked, raising his eyes unhurriedly.
Secretary Ye: "Yes, we will arrive in Haicheng tomorrow."
Huo Sinian tapped his fingers slowly on the armrest: "Send someone to intercept her now, don't let her board the plane to Shanghai."
"This..." Secretary Ye hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Huo Sinian looked over, his refined demeanor carrying an air of oppression.
"Qin Mo has arranged many bodyguards around Lin Ling, and the plane she took back to China was also a private jet," Secretary Ye reported. "We can't find an opportunity to make a move against her for the time being."
