After careful consideration, Mr. Si decided to give in.
He pretended to cough twice before saying, "Since we want to discuss business, come back and sit down!"
When Si Mochen heard this, his thin lips curled up inadvertently.
Being secretly photographed in the hotel this time was purely an accident, but fortunately he had made two preparations, so even if his grandfather caught him, he would have a way to smooth things over.
Sitting back down on the sofa, Si Mochen raised his narrow eyes and waited quietly for the old man's next words.
But it was obvious that the old man was also planning something.
After five minutes of silence, the old man finally spoke, "I can follow the previous agreement and not provoke that woman, but you must resolve the stock crisis for the Si Group. Of course, the engagement party with Zhao Yatou will be moved up to the beginning of next month."
He is indeed an old fox. While making concessions, he also did not forget to put forward conditions.
The engagement party was originally scheduled for the end of the month, but it was moved forward to the beginning of the month, which clearly didn't give him any chance to breathe.
Si Mochen crossed his arms and looked at the old man calmly, "I can resolve the crisis, but the engagement party can only be held in the middle of the month at the earliest."
His plan would take at least half a month, and if they got engaged at the beginning of the month, it would be too late.
Of course, he also prepared for the worst case scenario. If the negotiations failed, he would take more extreme measures.
Who is this old man? He was very majestic when he was a soldier when he was young. After retiring, he became even more powerful in the business world. Even in old age, his pride remains the same.
He had been treated respectfully by others for decades, but now he had a grandson who was against him every day. With his temper, how could he stand it?
This time, because of the company's affairs, Si Mochen was holding her back, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
I was about to compromise, but when I heard that he still had the confidence to negotiate, my anger rose to my head.
"It's the beginning of the month, no need to discuss."
How could he not know what his grandson was thinking? Getting engaged in the middle of the month was just to postpone the time so that he could turn the tables on himself.
He is old, but his mind is as clear as a mirror.
As the saying goes, old ginger is always wise, no matter what Si Mochen is planning, nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
"Then let's not talk about it."
The old man was stubborn and Si Mochen obviously had no patience. They were ready to end the discussion and leave as they couldn't reach an agreement.
Si Guangxu, who was standing quietly outside the door, saw that something was wrong, frowned and pushed the door open.
"I think the middle of the month is a good time to get engaged. The beginning of the month is really too rushed and there's no free time to prepare."
Si Mochen was very surprised that his father, who had just had a big fight with his grandfather, actually came back to speak for him.
The old man became more and more angry as he saw that everyone was disobeying him. Just when he was about to lose his temper, Chen Qin appeared.
She brought the board's solutions, all of which were proposals for Si Mochen to help.
The old man was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he hit the ground hard with his crutch.
"They are a bunch of brainless rubbish!"
Chen Qin stepped forward to support the old man and comfort him. "The situation is critical now, and the directors don't have any other options. Besides, the stock price continues to fall, and I'm afraid it won't last much longer."
"Dad, let Xiaochen come forward to solve the problem. He is very experienced in the business world, and the Si Group needs him right now."
Chen Qin's words were worth thousands of words from everyone present.
In the end, Mr. Si had no choice but to compromise and agreed to Si Mochen's conditions to get engaged in the middle of the month.
…
Xia Zhichu slept very uneasily that night, and her dreams were filled with Si Mochen's shadow.
She dreamed that she was drunk again, Si Mochen appeared and took her home, and the two of them entangled on the sofa in the living room.
Si Mochen also said many sweet words to her and even confessed his love to her.
Xia Zhichu was completely immersed in the dream and even laughed out loud.
Moreover, after waking up in the middle of the night, she was still calling Si Mochen's name in a daze, and when she fell asleep again, she continued the dream she had just had.
After having erotic dreams all night, Xia Zhichu woke up in the morning and felt extremely sore all over, as if those dreams had happened in reality.
She got up and drank some water, thinking back to the thrilling dream, her face still flushed and her heart still beating fast.
What is going on?
I keep thinking about Si Mochen recently, and even had such a shameful dream.
She had never been like this before when she was with her ex-husband.
Just as he was thinking, the cell phone placed on the bedside table rang. Xia Zhichu picked it up and answered it. Liu Jiajia's anxious voice came from the microphone.
"Chuchu, just now Lin Defa called me."
"What did he say?"
Xia Zhichu's heartstrings were tense, and even his voice was trembling.
Liu Jiajia said, "He sent me a location and asked me to go find him alone."
"Have you gone there now?"
Xia Zhichu was putting on clothes in a hurry while talking on the phone. Lin Defa had been forced into a corner, and he must have had ulterior motives in letting Liu Jiajia go out alone.
"Not yet. I'll let you know as soon as he calls."
Liu Jiajia was also very nervous, and her voice became more tearful the more she spoke. After all, her daughter was still in the hands of a father who was wanted by the whole city. She must be very scared and helpless now.
"You wait here first, Tiantian and I will be there soon."
How could they let Liu Jiajia take the risk alone for such a big thing?
Everything was packed up quickly, and Xia Zhichu went out without even having breakfast. When he came downstairs, he saw Chu Tiantian waiting downstairs. The two of them rushed to Liu Jiajia's house as soon as possible.
The child was taken away, and the elderly in the family felt deeply guilty. They just received a call from Lin Defa and they cried with anxiety.
Liu Jiajia kept comforting the two elders. She also hadn't slept all night, and her dark circles were very heavy, and even her eyes were bloodshot.
"What kind of cruelty did our family commit to deserve such a heartless son-in-law?"
Liu's mother cried very sadly. Her child was taken away by Lin Defa. She even called An An's name in her dreams at night.
"Mom, it's all my fault for choosing the wrong person. I've made you worry." Liu Jiajia hugged her mother, tears streaming down her face.
A wrong decision at a moment brought about a lifetime of unhappiness. She thought she would be relieved after divorcing Lin Defa, but who knew that Lin Defa would threaten her with their daughter.
The family of three hugged each other and cried until Xia Zhichu and Chu Tiantian came knocking on the door, and then Liu Jiajia hurried to open the door.
"Jia Jia, have you called the police?" This was the first question Chu Tiantian asked when she came in.
Liu Jiajia shook her head. "Lin Defa said that if I called the police, I would never see my daughter again in my lifetime."
"Yes, Lin Defa has gone crazy. If he is pushed to the limit, he will do anything."
Xia Zhichu understood because of her experience that when a couple reaches the point of divorce, it means that their relationship has broken down.
Lin Defa has done so many dirty things. If he is caught, he will have to go to jail and even become a poor man overnight. How can he bear it when he has always been extravagant?
At this time, Lin Defa was extremely extreme, thinking only of revenge. He kidnapped the child and forced Liu Jiajia to meet him alone, so he must have had no good intentions.
