Fu Jiusi had just opened the PDF file when the conversation outside started again.
He put down his phone and listened quietly.
Hua Qi, "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story."
The little smoky voice was filled with apology.
Landy Wen cleared her throat and said, "It's not your fault. It's me who hasn't been able to get over it."
"My mother gave me life, but she left me forever."
"On my seventh birthday, I made a wish to become a Chinese medicine practitioner when I grew up. My third brother said he wanted to study medicine too."
"My father strongly opposed it, and from their quarrel, I learned the real reason why my mother died."
"At that moment, I hated myself."
"I haven't celebrated my birthday since then."
“Every year when my birthday is around the corner, I get sad.”
Wen Lan's tears fell and she choked again.
Hua Qi's eyes also turned red. He sat down next to her, handed her a tissue, and patted her shoulder to comfort her silently.
Wen Lan paused for a moment, raised her head, and let out a long sigh.
"My father and brothers comforted me and said it was not my fault."
"But, over the years, I have always felt that I am a sinner of all time."
"Because of my arrival, my brothers lost their mother, my father lost his wife, and my grandparents lost their daughter."
Hua Qi sighed, "I really don't know how to comfort you, because I also have the same pain as you."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the family portrait on the wall, "Look, I'm the only one left in our family now."
"Sometimes, I wonder if I'm just too unlucky and have taken my family away."
"Whenever these negative emotions erupt, I remember what my grandma said."
"She said that everyone comes to this world with a mission, and mom and dad left because they completed their mission."
"This sentence is for you."
"I don't know if it works for you, but it doesn't work for me."
Landy Wen burst into laughter and said, "The last sentence really comforted me."
"Hua Qi?" Wen Lan looked over with red eyes, "Can I call you that?"
Hua Qi shrugged, "Whatever, a name is meant to be called by others."
Landy Wen's eyes lit up with hope, "If Wan Nuo wasn't there, could we have become very good sisters?"
Hua Qi raised her eyelashes slightly and looked at her with eyes that were indeed pure and sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy.
"Without him, it's not certain. I don't like making friends." She responded coldly.
Landy Wen smiled faintly, gently and elegantly, and was not displeased by being refuted.
"I suddenly like you so much. Can we be friends?" She stretched out her right hand and waited.
Hua Qi looked at her for a moment, raised his hand and patted her palm, "I like boys, not gays."
Wen Lan was amused by her and finally understood why Wan Nuo loved her so much.
At this time, the assistant called.
Landy Wen answered the call and went straight into hands-free mode.
Assistant, "Mr. Wen, the scandal has been completely suppressed, and Shanli Mining has also issued a warning."
Hua Qi's lips curled slightly, and he clasped his hands together, "Boss Wen is indeed decisive and efficient. I admire him."
"Call me Landy Wen," she said, pushing the briefcase over. "If you have any conditions, you can raise them."
"As long as you are willing to condescend to join the Maogu Group, everything is negotiable."
After saying that, she stood up gracefully and said, "I look forward to your reply."
Hua Qi stood up to see him off.
After leaving the gate, Special Assistant Lin looked embarrassed.
He looked at her, walked hesitantly to the back seat, opened the door and waited for Landy Wen to get in.
Landy Wen turned around and bowed slightly with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, I took your seat."
This is a double entendre.
Hua Qi smiled calmly, "That position has never belonged to me."
"Thank you, Hua Qi." Tears welled up in Wen Lan's eyes and she nodded slightly.
"Hey, wait a minute," Hua Qi stepped forward and opened the passenger door. "Can I take a picture of you?"
Landy Wen immediately understood her intention and turned to sit in the passenger seat, "Please take a good picture of me."
Hua Qi walked to the front of the car, found a good angle and pressed the shutter.
Focus on the photo of the Maybach and the license plate number. The person inside is blurred, but you can recognize it as Landy Wen from the outline.
Then, he showed it to Landy Wen and said, "You are beautiful. Even if the photo is a little blurry, you are still as beautiful as a fairy."
After looking at the photo, Landy Wen raised her eyes and looked into her eyes. "Not even a fraction of what you can do."
"Okay, the commercial compliments end here," Hua Qi waved his hand, "Have a bon voyage."
Landy Wen was amused by her again.
He turned around and glanced at Special Assistant Lin, "Let's go."
Special Assistant Lin hesitated. The future president's wife was sitting in the passenger seat, and he didn't dare to sit in the driver's seat.
Landy Wen buckled her seatbelt, a hint of sadness etched in her eyes. "Wan Nuo likes this car the most, but there's no room for me in the passenger seat."
"Today, please satisfy my little selfish desire."
Special Assistant Lin had no choice but to do as he was told.
As he walked past Hua Qi, he bowed solemnly and whispered, "Lawyer Hua, I'm sorry."
Hua Qi responded casually, "Go slowly on the road and be careful."
Special Assistant Lin nodded repeatedly, got into the driver's seat, started the car and left.
After sending off the God of Wealth, Hua Qi returned to the living room.
Fu Jiusi sat in the seat she had sat in, leaning lazily on the armrest of the sofa, drinking tea from her teacup.
Hua Qi showed disgust on his face and cursed secretly: There’s something wrong with you!
Fu Jiusi took a new teacup and poured her some tea. "Lawyer Hua, tell me the thrilling story of the night you were born."
"I'm busy," Hua Qi picked up the file bag on the coffee table and lay back on the sofa.
She was full of anticipation. What conditions would the God of Wealth offer to tempt her to join Maogu?
As soon as I opened the file bag, my hands were empty.
The things were taken away by Fu Jiusi.
“…” Hua Qi reached out to grab it.
He grabbed her hand and interlocked his fingers with hers.
Then he pressed forward, held her hand and raised it above his head.
The tall body pressed tightly against her.
With his other hand, he hooked the scattered hair on her temples and gently tucked it behind her ears.
He lowered his head, his nose slightly touching hers, "So, do you have time to play?"
"On the sofa, try?"
