Xia Zhichu nodded and said, "I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."
After that, Xia Zhichu asked about what happened after she got drunk. Lina obeyed Si Mochen's request and concealed all the truth. Finally, she said, "It's okay now. That green plum wine was indeed a bit strong. I promise I won't let you drink it again in the future."
Xia Zhichu always felt that everyone was hiding something, and was about to ask when he saw Si Mochen appear at the door with porridge in his hand.
She didn't talk much, just said something to Lina and hung up the phone.
Si Mochen came in and asked, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"
Xia Zhichu said vaguely, "I'm worried that you're bullying Lina and making her feel wronged, so I'm calling to comfort her."
Si Mochen smiled but said nothing. He came closer and fed her the porridge himself.
After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Chu Chu, there's something urgent going on at Summit Group, so we might have to go back the day after tomorrow at the earliest."
There are many dangers here. Staying one more day means more danger.
As for Jincheng, although it was not peaceful either, it was at least within his sphere of influence, and Si Mochen could ensure better protection for Xia Zhichu.
"Okay, you arrange it!"
Xia Zhichu drank some porridge, which should have been cooked in advance by the hotel chef. The porridge was very thick and the temperature was just right, not hot at all.
Seeing that she agreed so quickly and without any disappointment on her face, Si Mochen felt even more guilty because of her understanding. He put down the bowl of porridge, grabbed her hand and sighed.
"I originally wanted to take you out to relax, but the series of accidents left you with a bad impression. I'm an incompetent husband!"
Xia Zhichu, however, held his hand back and smiled, saying, "No, I have more good memories than bad ones. I benefited a lot from this Milan Ceremony and had a lot of fun."
"But……"
Si Mochen wanted to say something, but Xia Zhichu put her finger on his lips and said, "We still have to come to the Milan Fashion Show in a while. It won't be too late to have fun then."
This trip to Milan was mainly due to Si Mochen's business, and the honeymoon was an extra way to relax.
But it was obvious that Si Mochen's business negotiations were not going well. Xia Zhichu originally wanted to ask about the situation, but she felt that she did not understand the ways of business, and if she did not control the degree, it would make the man unhappy. So after thinking about it, she finally did not ask anything.
While drinking porridge quietly, Xia Zhichu kept paying attention to Si Mochen's expression. Although he concealed it well, she could still see that he was very worried.
After finishing the meal, Xia Zhichu said he was tired and wanted to rest, giving Si Mochen space to go out and handle things.
However, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Xia Zhichu's mind was full of things in her dream. She didn't know what was wrong. She always dreamed of that older brother inexplicably.
I even dreamed that the older brother had a car accident and I shed silent tears.
She felt that she must have forgotten something very important, otherwise she would not have had this dream so frequently recently.
Xia Zhichu felt that when he returned to Jincheng this time, it might be time to go home and ask his mother about the memory she had lost when she was seriously ill.
…
Milan, Pearl Tower.
Mr. Si stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a cane, looking down at the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs.
At this moment, a bodyguard knocked on the door and came in, respectfully reporting to him, "Mr. Si, the matter has been settled."
Mr. Si narrowed his cloudy eyes and hummed, "Is it done very cleanly?"
"Don't worry, I guarantee it's foolproof. I even covered up the license plate number. No matter how the local police investigate, they won't find anything that leads to you."
Mr. Si waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
Then, Chen Qin walked in and looked at him with a worried look on her face.
Chen Qin knew everything about the conversation just now and Mr. Si's recent arrangements.
I thought that Mr. Si came here just to steal Si Mochen's voice, but I didn't expect that he still wanted to kill Xia Zhichu.
Fortunately, Xia Zhichu was blessed with a long life, otherwise how could he have endured such hardships again and again.
"Dad, since Xiaochen and Xia Zhichu truly love each other, why don't you help them get together?"
After going through so many things, Chen Qin has come to see things clearly. No matter how useful power is, it is really too lonely to live alone until the end of one's life.
She was really tired and just wanted to stop and have a good rest.
But she didn't expect that the moment she said this, she would be met with a stern shout from Mr. Si, "Give them their wish? Chen Qin, when did you become so confused?"
"I'm telling you, if I had helped Guangxu and that woman back then, you, Chen Qin, wouldn't be where you are today."
After saying that, Mr. Si lit a cigar and started smoking it vigorously.
Chen Qin's body trembled violently. Yes, if Yaqing had not died that year, she would never have been able to step into the Si family's gate.
Even if she didn't do it herself, she had become an accomplice invisibly. Her hands were stained with blood, and she would never be able to wash them clean in her lifetime.
"Okay, you don't need to interfere in these matters from now on. You just need to discuss cooperation with Tianqing Group and build a good relationship with the girl from the Xu family. As for Xiaochen and that woman, I have my own plans."
This alcohol poisoning incident was indeed caused by him.
However, this time he did not intend to take Xia Zhichu's life, but to give her a warning in both open and covert ways, and at the same time force Xiaochen back to Jincheng.
In this way, there will naturally be someone to help him implement the next plan, and he can relax and witness with his own eyes how Xiaochen becomes disappointed with Xia Zhichu, and even return to the Si family obediently to continue being his good grandson.
Mr. Si has too strong a desire for control and cannot tolerate disobedience from anyone.
Whether it is his son, grandson, or daughter-in-law, they must be under his control.
The only outcome for betraying him is death!
Chen Qin looked at Mr. Si's paranoid look and broke out in a cold sweat. She was really worried that if he continued like this, Mr. Si would lose both his life and wealth, and would end up with no one to see him off to the end.
Compared to the solemn atmosphere here, the conversation between Gu Bai and Xu Yue was also quite tense.
When Gu Bai learned that Tian Qing had terminated its cooperation with Si Mochen and instead signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Si Group, Gu Bai's face suddenly turned ugly.
"Xu Yue, what exactly do you want to do? Didn't we agree that Tian Qing and Si Mochen would cooperate, and I would try to get involved. Together, we would slowly drain Si Mochen's funds. Why did you suddenly change your plan?"
Facing Gu Bai's accusations, Xu Yue remained calm, taking a sip of her coffee cup in an elegant posture. She then parted her charming red lips and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? What I'm doing won't affect our plan. On the contrary, it will allow you to do more. Don't forget, I put half of my efforts into Xiyue Company. How could I just sit there and watch it collapse and declare bankruptcy?"
