Ruoxue was brought back to Ancheng by him and temporarily lived in one of his houses on the outskirts of the city. The environment here was elegant, with green spaces and gardens in front and behind the house, and the house was newly painted.
He invited a doctor to do a comprehensive examination on Ruoxue. Fortunately, she was fine, but she was a little weak and needed to rest.
After the doctor left, Ruoxue looked at Lin Tianyi who was busy working for her, and her heart was full of gratitude. Just when she was about to say something to him, he seemed to have guessed Ruoxue's thoughts, and smiled and said to her: "Ruoxue, don't say anything to him."
I say thank you."
Ruoxue was a little surprised, but then she thought about it and said a little mischievously: "Who said I need to thank you!"
Her charming smile made him a little obsessed. He sat down on the sofa, and Ruoxue also sat down on the sofa beside him.
"Ruoxue, do you know? You are really charming like this." He couldn't help but say.
"I don't think so, brother Tianyi, do you have something to say to me?" Ruoxue looked at the way he was hesitant to speak, and felt that he seemed to want to say something.
The servant came and brought them two cups of tea. Lin Tianyi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and glanced sideways at Ruoxue. She was now much more sensitive than before.
"Yes, I have something to tell you." Lin Tianyi put down the tea cup.
Ruoxue held her chin and put her elbows on her legs, listening to him carefully.
"I have an idea that can help you fight against Chen Mubai, but this requires your cooperation." Lin Tianyi said confidently.
"Okay, I will do whatever you ask me to do." Ruoxue agreed, her tone full of determination.
Lin Tianyi smiled and put his finger to his mouth to make a silent gesture.
*Since Chen Mubai received the mysterious email at the wedding, he has been distracted all day long. However, the people sent out to look for Ruoxue still brought him disappointing news. Ruoxue was still missing.
These days, drinking at Shao Yingqi's wine shop has become his most frequent pastime. He comes home drunk almost every day. Mo Fan saw this and was so angry that he simply left without saying goodbye and returned home.
own home.
As usual, Chen Mubai finished drinking at Cangyue Wine before returning home. As soon as he entered the door, he felt the atmosphere was strange.
The father-in-law and mother-in-law were sitting in the middle of the room, next to Mo Fanxin who was crying and his eyes were as bright as cherries. His mother was sitting beside him with a sad face.
"Mu Bai, come here." Mo Dingtian said in a stern tone, suppressing the anger in his heart.
Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Mubai from the side and felt pain in her heart. In just over a month, he lived in such a decadent way every day, with messy hair and disheveled clothes. Every day he drank to relieve his sorrows, just like before.
They are completely different from each other.
Chen Mubai staggered up to them, burped, and sat on the floor.
"Mu Bai, we didn't marry our daughter to you to let you abuse her. Have you forgotten what you promised me at the wedding?" Mo Dingtian became even more angry when he saw his appearance.
"I didn't abuse her." Chen Mubai defended vaguely, leaning on the ground with his hands.
"Look at what you look like now. This is not the kind of son-in-law our Mo family wants. If you can't make Fanxin happy, then we will choose someone else for her!" Mo Dingtian's words were merciless.
"Yes, we originally let Fanxin marry you because we thought you were motivated and promising. You should strive for it!" Mo Fanxin's mother also agreed.
Mrs. Chen sat aside, her face turning red and white. Chen Mubai was like this. It was not that she had never said it before, but every time she said it, he pretended not to have heard it and continued to go his own way.
"I know." Chen Mubai lowered his head and muttered.
"What do you know? I'm warning you, if you continue like this, your prenuptial agreement will take effect immediately, and you will be fully responsible for the consequences!" Mo Dingtian said and stood up. If you get closer, he will really
He would go up and slap him hard twice.
"No, in-laws, if you have anything to say, Mu Bai is that the recent Lijiang Garden project has not gone well and the pressure is a bit high. We must understand each other. After this hurdle, everything will be fine." Mrs. Chen heard the situation.
Oops, hurry up and smooth things over. If you really piss off the sponsor, everything will be difficult.
"For your mother's sake, I'll give you a week to behave. If you're still like this next week, don't blame me for being rude." After Mo Dingtian finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Mrs. Mo hurriedly followed him out, and Mo Fanxin's voice came from behind: "Mom, Dad, wait for me, I'm going home, I won't stay here anymore!"
"You stay!" Mo Dingtian replied without looking back, with a stiff tone.
Mrs. Mo turned around and glanced at her daughter distressedly, but seemed helpless.
They left, and the room suddenly seemed empty.
"Mu Bai, take Fan Xin to rest." Mrs. Chen sighed helplessly.
Chen Mubai was scolded by Mo Dingtian just now, and he was almost sober from drinking. He looked at Mrs. Chen with drunken eyes, slowly got up from the ground, and staggered towards the stairs.
Mo Fan followed him sadly. Seeing him like this, his heart almost broke. How could that rotten woman make him so distracted?
She felt furious secretly in her heart. When she saw Chen Mubai stumbled and fell at the door of the bedroom, she pretended not to notice, opened the door, stepped over his body, and walked into the bedroom.
Chen Mubai slowly got up from the ground, holding on to the wall, and followed in.
"Get out!" Mo Fanxin scolded him.
Chen Mubai's face twitched. Her words made him feel like a dog, with no dignity at all in front of her. Of course, her prestige came from her family.
Chen Mubai ignored her, but rushed to the bed and pushed her down on the bed.
"Get out!" Mo Fanxin pushed him hard, tears streaming down his face. The marriage he wanted was not like this!
Chen Mubai's kiss, which smelled of alcohol, fell densely on her neck. Mo Fan pushed him desperately and kept saying: "Get out of here, I don't allow you to go to bed with me without thinking..."
With other women!"
Her words made Chen Mubai stop his rude actions. In fact, they already knew that this marriage was mostly driven by money.
"I... will satisfy your father." Chen Mubai said in her ear.
After listening to his words, Mo Fanxin's heart finally softened, and he didn't push him away anymore, but let him sleep beside him.
Early the next morning, Mo Fanxin was awakened by the sound of his phone call. She was very angry and covered her head with the quilt, but his voice was still heard in her ears. Mo Fanxin couldn't bear it anymore and opened the quilt.
He shouted: "Chen Mubai, if you want to make a phone call, go outside!"
Chen Mubai rolled his eyes at her, hung up the phone, walked to the bed, and said expressionlessly: "Get up now, we will leave at nine o'clock to go to Ancheng."
"Why are you going there? I'm not going." Mo Fan said angrily.
"You have to go to a very important cocktail party, which is related to the future development of our company." Chen Mubai was a little annoyed. She was really too willful like this.
"What does your business have to do with me?" Mo Fan said angrily. What she disliked the most was this kind of hypocritical politeness.
"If you don't go, I will report the truth to my father-in-law. I think maintaining a good marriage is not just my business." Chen Mubai spoke plausibly.
Mo Fan suddenly felt angry. Now he was telling her this? Why did he do it in the first place? She really wanted to refute him, but she couldn't find any reason to say it, so she had to get up in frustration.
The two took the Chen family's private plane to Ancheng, and accompanying them were Chen's executives, which showed how seriously Chen Mubai attached importance to the trip. Mo Fanxin watched Chen Mubai talking to the executives about this trip on the plane.
Regarding issues related to the project, she suddenly found that he seemed to be a different person. The high-spirited man from before was back, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Maybe her father's ultimatum worked! She secretly rejoiced.
The reception was arranged at the hotel with the highest star rating in the city. In order to attend the reception, Mo Fanxin made careful preparations. She wore a dark purple evening dress, which perfectly set off her exquisite figure, and she was covered in jewels.
She was full of the temperament of a noble lady. Looking at Chen Mubai again, he had swept away the decadence of the past and was equally well-dressed. Mo Fan couldn't help but feel a little prouder.
When they walked into the venue, there was warm applause around them. Only then did Chen Mubai notice that those who came to participate in the bidding were all large and powerful companies. However, he did not pay attention to these people. This bidding
, he is determined to win.
"Everyone, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this reception. The development of Anseong cannot be separated from everyone's support, especially friends who come from afar..." the host said politely in front of the stage
Toast.
Chen Mubai had no interest in these polite words. His eyes wandered around the crowd, but after looking around, there was no one who interested him.
After the host finished speaking, the guests gathered together in twos and threes and talked about business matters.
"Ah, Mo Fanxin!" A woman's voice came from not far away from them. Chen Mubai followed the sound and saw a lady in a black dress walking towards them with a face full of surprise.
"Sister Tongtong?" Mo Fanxin suddenly became happy and said to Chen Mubai quickly: "It's Sister Tongtong. I haven't seen her for several years."
Chen Mubai had a charming smile on his face, watching the two women chatting. The woman Mo Fanxin called Sister Tongtong looked Chen Mubai up and down, and gave Mo Fanxin a thumbs up: "Fanxin, your husband is indeed
