Chapter 148 Huo Jinxi's Achilles' heel is also her Achilles' heel
The dinner at the Tongcheng Chamber of Commerce was quite grand. The banquet was held in a private garden villa in the south of the city. The participants were all famous people in Tongcheng's business circle, beautiful women with fragrant cars, fragrant clothes and hair shadows, and a grand event.
Mu Qian still attracted many attention when she accompanied Huo Jinxi to the dinner.
First, the existence of Huo Jinxi is the focus. Second, the matter between her and Lin Su and Huo Jinxi has been on the headlines of gossip, and most of them are those who recognize her.
Mu Qian was openly and withstood the gaze from all sides. Following Huo Jinxi, although she had a high sense of existence, she didn't talk much. Her well-behaved and clever appearance attracted many people who talked to Huo Jinxi and couldn't help but tease her.
She restrained all the tricky and ancient spirit aura and chatted with the guests on the scene calmly, saying and smiling, without any unnecessary expressions or movements.
Qi Yuan stood by and looked at her, feeling that he had seen a ghost - is this... a witch turned into a fairy?
However, Huo Jinxi did not look at Mu Qian any more from beginning to end. Even though she was standing beside him, his eyes did not float towards her.
Mu Qian didn't care and still tried hard to play the role of a perfect female companion.
When Huo Jinxi went on stage to speak, the guests present gathered in front of the stage and listened carefully, while Mu Qian and Qi Yuan stood by the side of the stage and waited for the venue. Only then did they have a little free time.
Looking at Huo Jinxi who was quiet and talking on the stage, Mu Qian suddenly said, "Your boss is really stable in typhoon."
"Mr. Huo has always been like this." Qi Yuan replied.
Has it always been like this? Mu Qian curled the corners of her mouth.
At least seven years ago, Huo Jinxi was not like this.
Although she didn't know if the real Huo Jinxi she met seven years ago, even if Huo Jinxi was a young man wearing a mask at that time, she would definitely be two of Huo Jinxi now.
That is, Huo Jinxi now needs a wife who is well-behaved and obedient and bows to him, right?
Thinking of this, Mu Qian spoke again: "How would I perform tonight? Do you think your boss will be satisfied?"
Qi Yuan was stunned, turned his head to look at her, and alertly did not answer.
But there was an answer in his mind - it would be great if Mu Qian could always keep this appearance.
Just as he was thinking this, Mu Qian next to him suddenly took out his cell phone from his handbag. Qi Yuan glanced at him and saw a phone call from New York, USA.
When Mu Qian saw the phone, she immediately turned around and walked away, and found a secluded place to answer the phone.
Mu Qian received this call from Huo Jinxi's speech but had not come back yet. After Huo Jinxi stepped down, he didn't ask and calmly talked to other business people.
Qi Yuan was scared by Mu Qian's trouble, afraid that something would happen. When he was looking around for Mu Qian, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Qi Yuan glanced at his cell phone and it turned out that he was also from New York. He hurriedly walked to the side and answered the phone.
"Mr. Qi, Rong Qingzi's case has made new progress." The person on the other end of the phone reported to him. "Rong Qingzi took the initiative to confess everything to the police station and admitted that she had committed fraud against the Huo Group. It is said that she will not ask a lawyer to defend herself in the future. In this way, she will inevitably go to jail."
After listening to the report from the other end, Qi Yuan suddenly tightened his heart, hung up the phone, hurried to Huo Jinxi, whispered to him about the matter, and then said: "Miss Mu also received a call from New York just now, and I guess he already knows this fact."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi's eyes were on the court.
As I saw it, I could not see Mu Qian's figure.
When the dinner ended, Huo Jinxi, who walked out of the banquet, saw Mu Qian.
She sat in the bench in the corner of the garden with her arms in the late autumn night, the dim street lights were not at all warm, illuminating her slender figure, quiet and lonely.
Mu Qian didn't notice him or anything around her. She just thought about the phone call just now, thinking about what Song Qian said to her on the phone.
"Your mother surrendered and confessed, and no longer allowed me to act as her lawyer for her representative, nor did she plan to seek any lawyer to defend her."
"Why?" she asked him.
Song Qian was silent for a long time before speaking: "She knew you went back to China to find Huo Jinxi to help her solve this matter. She said that she didn't need you to do this for her, and she didn't want to accept your affection."
Mu Qian sat in this garden for a long time, but she didn't understand whether to cry or laugh.
Because I didn't like her, I felt disgusted even with her help. I would rather go to jail than accept her slight favor.
Since she was ten years old, she was abandoned in the Huo family. She knew that Rong Qingzi didn't like her anymore, but she never knew that Rong Qingzi actually hated her so much.
At that time, she didn't understand what she had done wrong, but she vaguely felt that this should be temporary and that my mother could not want her, because before that, my mother had always loved her. She should have just not accepted the fact that her father passed away for a while, because she loved her father so much, so she needed to be alone and calm down to relieve the pain.
She was very sensible. She stayed at the Huo family with peace of mind, waiting for her mother to walk out of the shadow of her father's departure and then took her to her side.
I just waited for one year, two years, three years... Rong Qingzi never came back.
And she finally gradually realized the truth, and her mother really didn't want her anymore.
She fell into despair again and again, and gradually returned to peace later.
But until today, she realized that she still had expectations in her heart, even if the hope was so dim and so ethereal, it was always in her heart.
She did so much for her, and her tolerance and efforts were not because of her father's instructions, but because of the hope in her heart.
But now, this glimmer of hope has finally been completely shattered.
Mu Qian didn't cry.
She looked at the sky, the ground, and the rockery garden ahead. Finally, she saw Huo Jinxi standing under the eaves.
The moment she saw Huo Jinxi, she realized how ridiculous she was.
This man, she hated him and blamed him, her love will no longer be resolved, and her feelings will not be resolved.
But when he threatened her with Rong Qingzi, she did not hesitate to lower everything and obediently returned to Tongcheng and to his side.
Facing Huo Jinxi, she had not come up with any other countermeasures.
In fact, it is easy to deal with someone, just find his fatal hole, just like she deals with the Cen family, just like Huo Jinxi deals with her.
He found her fatal hole and pinched her.
It’s not that Huo Jinxi has no fatal holes, his fatal holes, such as grandpa, Huo Qiran - but these are also her fatal holes, and she can’t move, she can’t move.
So he was willing to bow his head and let him send him to please him, hoping to win the opportunity for freedom for Rong Qingzi.
But she doesn't want it.
In Rong Qingzi's opinion, everything she gave for Rong Qingzi was exhausted.
