Chapter 56: Those who slander my wife must be punished
After asking, Qu Tao realized that his question was unnecessary. When he asked Assistant Wang to book the hotel, he thought that Assistant Wang might report it to Xi Mozhou, but he didn't expect Xi Mozhou to come.
Xi Mozhou didn't answer Qu Tao's question. He stood in front of the door, looked at the people sitting on both sides of him for a few seconds, and then walked towards him and gently brushed away the broken hair covering his eyes.
"You went to bed in the middle of the night last night. Didn't you say you would rest at home? Why are you out again?"
The gentle words and extremely ambiguous actions made Zhou Hai recognize Xi Mozhou and stood up from his seat in shock.
"Are you Mr. Xi? You and Qu Tao... You are not Qu Tao's lover, are you?"
"Have you mentioned me to them?"
Xi Mozhou's frown gradually relaxed when he pushed open the door. Although Zhou Hai didn't understand why the two of them were so aggressive before they were a couple, he spoke before Qu Tao.
"Yes, before you came, Qu Tao said that he was getting married and that he would send us an invitation."
"Oh... really?" Xi Mozhou confronted Qu Tao and stared at him leisurely, "Didn't you say that if you didn't accept my proposal, you would test me for a while?"
"......", Zhou Hai kept chattering, Qu Tao looked a little embarrassed, and Mu Jingyan coughed heavily a few times when he saw that their cheeks were very close.
"Boss Xi, if you have anything to say, do you want to sit down first and then talk?"
"Oh...Boss Mu is here too?" Xi Mozhou stood up, pretending to be surprised as if he had just seen Mu Jingyan, "Isn't this a class reunion? Could it be that Boss Mu is also a classmate of my son Tao Tao?"
With a tone full of gunpowder, Zhou Hai hurriedly moved his chair and placed it behind Xi Mozhou.
"Boss Xi, don't get me wrong, our boss just happened to pass by."
"Oh... What a coincidence."
Xi Mozhou dragged out the last word, meaningfully. The scene was already a little awkward. Qu Tao was worried that he would say something else, so he pulled him to sit on the stool and changed the subject.
"Have you eaten?"
"No, I just came to see you."
Many of the people sitting there were Qu Tao's classmates. Xi Mozhou didn't want to make the situation awkward, so he put away his sharpness.
Mu Jingyan took a sip of wine and looked at them.
"Are you serious about marrying President Qu?"
"Yes!"
"You were suppressing Yuanhang before, was it for this purpose?"
"It seems that this has nothing to do with President Mu?"
Xi Mozhou raised his eyebrows slightly, with a bit of coldness in his words. Mu Jingyan put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at him.
"I just want to remind President Xi that a forced marriage is not sweet."
"Heh..." Xi Mozhou sneered, "Since President Mu is so kind, I might as well remind President Mu that being a mistress is shameful and don't try to interfere in other people's feelings."
"At least I won't use despicable means," Mu Jingyan said, suddenly raising his voice, "Xi Mozhou, the reason why Qu Tao is with you is not because you caused Yuanhang's stock price to plummet and face bankruptcy, so she had no choice but to commit herself to you?"
In the room, because of Mu Jingyan's words, there was a small sigh, Xi Mozhou's face turned livid, clenched his fists, and stood up.
Today, Qu Tao's classmates were present, saying that he would do anything to achieve his goals, he could tolerate it, but he could never tolerate slandering Qu Tao for selling himself for the company.
"Mu Jingyan, say it again if you dare."
Seeing that Xi Mozhou's fist was about to hit Mu Jingyan's face in the next second, Qu Tao quickly grabbed his hand and looked at Mu Jingyan.
"Mr. Mu, I think I told you very clearly before that everything is my own will." Qu Tao turned to the others and said, "Sorry for today, we'll leave first and meet again another day."
The rest of the people in the room didn't know what to say for a moment, and watched Qu Tao holding Xi Mozhou's hand and walking towards the door.
Mu Jingyan reacted, stood up suddenly, and grabbed him from behind.
"Qu Tao, you don't have to wrong yourself to please him. If Yuanhang goes bankrupt, I can support you."
"Mu, you tmd..."
Xi Mozhou almost roared in front of him, but before he finished speaking, he was suppressed by Qu Tao's warning voice.
"Mu Jingyan, I'll say it again, I did it voluntarily."
Mu Jingyan only believed in his own judgment and didn't believe his words at all, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"Qu Tao, tell me the truth, if he hadn't suppressed your company and almost bankrupted your company, would you still choose to be with him?"
Worried that Xi Mozhou was going to swing his fist again, Qu Tao pulled Xi Mozhou behind him and spoke coldly to Mu Jingyan.
"Since President Mu is so curious, I might as well make it clear today before leaving. Xi Mozhou and I have been a couple for three years."
Mu Jingyan let go of his hand in disbelief, and Qu Tao seemed to see through his thoughts.
"Do you still want to ask why he suppressed my company?"
Although it was a question, Qu Tao didn't want to wait for him to give him any response, and continued.
"Because three years ago, I thought he didn't like me, so I took the 10 million yuan he gave me to open a coffee shop and ran away abroad."
"Whether he did it to vent his anger or for other reasons, when he told me that the person he loved had always been me and he still loved me, I chose to forgive him. So being with him was never a compulsion, let alone what you call flattery."
After saying this, Qu Tao didn't wait for the others to say anything, he held Xi Mozhou's hand and walked away.
Xi Mozhou's anger, which was originally provoked by Mu Jingyan, disappeared after listening to his words, and he even felt a little secretly happy.
Qu Tao has always had him in his heart!
"Taotao, how do you know that the 10 million yuan was used by me to let you open a coffee shop? Did you look for Shen Yichen?"
A good class reunion ended in such an unbearable situation. Qu Tao was still angry, and glanced at him without saying a word.
Xi Mozhou looked at his angry look and pulled him into his arms.
"Okay, let's just treat it as a dog bite and stop being angry, okay? I'll call Secretary Huang later and we'll drive Yin Feng out of Yancheng."
"No, I'm not angry anymore. Don't mess with their company because of me."
Let it go. Qu Tao didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so Xi Mozhou didn't continue the topic.
"Did you not eat enough just now? Tell your husband what you want to eat. No matter what you want to eat, your husband will take you."
"Go home. I'm sleepy."
"Okay. I'll call the chef now and ask him to prepare a table of your favorite dishes. After you finish eating, have a good sleep."
"Aren't you going back to the company?"
"No, it's more important to be with my wife."
At Qinhai Villa, after dinner, Qu Tao went to take a nap. When he woke up, there were a bunch of missed calls and unread messages on his phone.
Damn, Xi Mozhou really did something to Yin Feng!
Qu Tao flipped to the message sent by Zhou Hai and immediately ran to the study.
"Didn't I tell you not to make a big deal out of it? Why did you try to steal Yinfeng's orders?"
"It's not really stealing. These companies approached me first, but I didn't like them at the time, so I didn't accept them."
"Then why are you accepting them now?"
"You must be punished for defaming my wife."
