Chapter 24 Heart stab
Qu Tao quickened his pace as if he had not heard anything, but before he reached the gate of the courtyard, Xi Mozhou caught up with him and grabbed his wrist.
"Come back with me, wash your hands and eat."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xi, but it's getting late, I should go back to my own home."
Qu Tao didn't look at him and tried to shake off his arm several times. Xi Mozhou frowned when he heard the deliberate alienation in his words.
"Are you going in by yourself, or do you want me to carry you in?"
The two looked at each other, and there was a hidden anger in each other's eyes.
It was evening, and the street lights in the community suddenly lit up, and together with the few remaining rays of afterglow in the sky, they hit the two of them.
A white SUV slowly stopped at the gate of the villa next door. Shen Yichen got out of the car and walked towards this side in confusion.
"You two are..."
"Off work?"
Xi Mozhou didn't answer his question, but greeted him.
The tense atmosphere was eased by the sudden intrusion of an outsider, and Xi Mozhou's grip on Qu Tao's wrist also lightened a lot.
"Are you two admiring the sunset?"
Shen Yichen responded to Xi Mozhou, laughing, then he thought of something and looked at Qu Tao who was silent.
"The day after tomorrow, the weekend, I'm holding a Qiao Qian banquet at home. If Mr. Qu has nothing to do, would you like to come and join us?"
"Qiao Qian banquet?"
Qu Tao raised his eyes at him, Shen Yichen nodded, and pointed to the villa next door.
"Yes, we just moved here a few days ago. Didn't Mozhou tell you? I'm really grateful for his help this time."
"Oh...really?"
No wonder he said that when he has money, he will buy the house next door and live next door. Someone doesn't want to.
Qu Tao glanced at Xi Mozhou coldly, and when he was not paying attention, he shook off his hand and ran out.
"Qu Tao, come back!"
In the quiet air, Xi Mozhou's voice was piercing, but Qu Tao didn't even turn his head.
Shen Yichen looked at the back running away, and there was some sarcasm in his words.
"It's been a few years, and President Xi, who has always been ruthless in the business world, hasn't won her over yet. Can't you try to be more straightforward and propose to her directly?"
Xi Mozhou looked at the figure that disappeared completely, retracted his gaze, and gave him a warning look.
"Do you think I haven't thought about it?"
Three years ago, at the instigation of Shen Yichen, when he heard someone say that he loved him, he tried to muster up the courage, but... before he could take action, the person ran away.
Three years have passed, and he can't find the courage he had back then, and he began to doubt Qu Tao's feelings for him.
Did he really love himself? Or did she choose to stay by his side just because they slept together at the time?
At the beginning of those years, the words that were not said in time and the secrets that lingered for many years, missed the opportunity, accumulated over the years, and slowly grew into thorns in his heart.
The autumn wind rose, bringing bursts of coolness. Shen Yichen looked around and thought of the economic news he saw yesterday morning.
"You are suppressing his company every day now, just to break his wings and trap him by your side, but don't you worry that it will backfire?"
"As expected of Mr. Shen, you saw through me at a glance."
Xi Mozhou teased, looked at the gradually darkening sky, pointed to the direction of the hall, and ended the current topic.
"My family changed a new chef a few days ago. Do you want to come in and try his cooking and have a drink?"
"New chef? Are you trying to learn from him and capture someone's stomach?"
Xi Mozhou walked to the hall, annoyed when his thoughts were exposed.
"You talk so much. I think you are full without eating."
Shen Yichen was a beat slower and followed his footsteps with a wry smile.
"Are you so angry? In consideration of your great help in buying the house, Qiao Qianyan, bring your people here the day after tomorrow, and I will help you think of a solution."
"No need, I can handle it myself."
Xi Mozhou guessed that the little thing would have to avoid him again in the next two days. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
In Yonghe Apartment, Qu Tao had a simple meal, took a shower, and sat on the sofa in the living room.
He hadn't turned on his phone for a day and a night, so there were many missed calls and messages on his phone.
After replying to his relatives and acquaintances, Qu Tao landed on the chat dialog box with Mu Jingyan.
The message started, and it should have been sent by Xi Mozhou after he had just snatched the phone and turned it off.
"Mr. Qu, are you with Mr. Xi now? Is he giving you any trouble?"
"Mr. Qu, if you need funds, I can give you some money. You don't need to worry."
"Mr. Qu, turn on your phone and let me know you're safe. I'm worried."
The following messages were all sent from this morning to now, and the address changed from Mr. Qu to Qu Tao.
"Qu Tao, are you okay? Why is your phone still turned off?"
"Qu Tao, I'm really worried. Please reply if you see the message."
Qu Tao looked at the dialog box, thought for a while, and then sent the message.
"Thank you Mr. Mu for your concern. I'm fine. I will find a way to solve the problem of funds myself. I won't bother you."
"I'm relieved that you're safe."
"Is it convenient? Do you want to go out for a drink?"
As soon as the message was sent, Mu Jingyan replied immediately. Qu Tao looked at the wall clock.
In fact, it was still early, but since he already knew how Mu Jingyan felt about him, Qu Tao didn't want to have too much contact with him.
"I'm a little tired today, let's do it another day." "
Okay, then you should go to bed early."
Qu Tao had a good sleep without being disturbed by Xi Mozhou last night, and he came to the company just after eight o'clock.
"Mr. Qu, this is the document that Difeng arranged for someone to deliver early in the morning. Before leaving, I told the front desk to make sure to hand it over to you."
Qu Tao took the file bag from Assistant Wang with doubts, and it was very light.
"What is it? Have you read it?"
"No."
"Okay, you go out first."
After Assistant Wang left, Qu Tao opened the file bag and saw the things inside, which made him even more confused.
There were only two pieces of paper in the file bag, one was the transfer right of the store, and the other was the operating rights of the flower shop next to his coffee shop.
This means that Xi Mozhou transferred the newly renovated flower shop to his name.
A slap in the face and a date in return, what is Xi Mozhou doing?
Qu Tao took out his mobile phone and wanted to ask him clearly. After thinking for a few seconds, he put the phone back on the table.
No matter what he means, he caused his company to lose so much, these are his compensations, don't refuse them.
After ten o'clock, Qu Tao finished talking with the financial manager, looked at the accounts of the past few days, walked out of the office, and went to the secretary's office next door.
"Assistant Wang, come with me to our flower shop."
Assistant Wang was on the phone, and after hanging up, he walked towards him.
"Mr. Qu, why don't we change the time? The front desk just called, and Mr. Mu from Yinfeng wants to see you. He's downstairs now."
"Oh..." Qu Tao frowned, "Have someone take him to the conference room."
"Okay."
A few minutes later, watching the two people walk into the conference room together after greeting each other, Assistant Wang hid in the corner and secretly edited the information.
"Mr. Xi, the person who wants to poach your people just came to the company to find Mr. Qu, and is now alone in the conference room with Mr. Qu."
