Chapter 148 Huo Jinxi's Achilles' heel is also her Achilles' heel
The Tongcheng Chamber of Commerce's dinner was quite grand. The banquet was held in a private garden courtyard in the south of the city. The attendees were all celebrities from Tongcheng's business community, with beautiful cars and beautiful people, and beautiful clothes. It was a grand event.
When Mu Qian accompanied Huo Jinxi to the dinner party, she still attracted a lot of attention.
Firstly, the existence of Huo Jinxi is the focus. Secondly, her affairs with Lin Su and Huo Jinxi have made many gossip headlines earlier, and many people recognized her.
Mu Qian calmly accepted the gazes from all sides and followed Huo Jinxi. Although she had a high sense of presence, she did not talk much and her well-behaved and smart appearance attracted many people who talked to Huo Jinxi.
Keep teasing her.
She suppressed all the cunning and ancient aura, and chatted with the guests in a gentle and calm manner. She talked and smiled when she should, without any unnecessary expressions or movements.
Qi Yuan stood aside and looked at her, feeling like he had seen a ghost - was this...a witch turning into a fairy?
Huo Jinxi never glanced at Mu Qian from beginning to end. Even though she was standing next to him, his eyes did not drift to her.
Mu Qian didn't care, and still tried hard to play the role of a perfect female companion.
When Huo Jinxi came to the stage to speak, the guests gathered around the stage and listened carefully, while Mu Qian and Qi Yuan stood by the stage waiting, and only then did they have some free time.
Looking at Huo Jinxi who was calm and talking on the stage, Mu Qian suddenly said: "Your boss is really stable in typhoons."
"Mr. Huo has always been like this." Qi Yuan replied.
Is this always the case? Mu Qian curled her lips.
At least seven years ago, Huo Jinxi was not like this.
Although she didn't know if the Huo Jinxi she met seven years ago was the real Huo Jinxi, but even if the Huo Jinxi at that time was a young man wearing a mask, he was definitely two different people from the Huo Jinxi now.
That is to say, Huo Jinxi now needs a wife who is obedient and submissive to him, right?
Thinking of this, Mu Qian spoke again: "How was my performance tonight? Do you think your boss will be satisfied?"
Qi Yuan was startled, turned to look at her, and did not answer in a wary tone.
But there was an answer in his heart - it would be good if Mu Qian could stay like this.
Just as he was thinking this, Mu Qian next to him suddenly took out his mobile phone from his handbag. Qi Yuan glanced at it and saw a call from New York, USA.
As soon as Mu Qian saw the phone call, she immediately turned away and found a secluded place to answer the phone.
Mu Qian received the call and Huo Jinxi had not returned yet after he finished his speech. After Huo Jinxi stepped down, he did not ask any questions and continued to talk calmly with other business people.
Qi Yuan was frightened by Mu Qian's troubles, for fear that something might happen. When he was looking around for Mu Qian, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Qi Yuan looked at the phone and saw that it was also a call from New York. He quickly walked to the side and answered the phone.
"Mr. Qi, there is new progress in Rong Qingzi's case." The person on the other end of the phone reported to him, "Rong Qingzi took the initiative to go to the police station and confessed everything, admitting the fact that she had defrauded the Huo Group. It is said that she
She will not hire a lawyer to defend herself in the future, so she will definitely go to jail."
After listening to the report on the other end, Qi Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, he hung up the phone, hurriedly walked to Huo Jinxi, reported the matter to him in a low voice, and then said: "Miss Mu also received a message from
The caller from New York probably already knows this fact."
After Huo Jinxi listened, his eyes wandered around the venue.
As far as the eye could see, Mu Qian was nowhere to be seen.
At the end of the dinner, Huo Jinxi walked out of the banquet hall and saw Mu Qian.
She was sitting on a bench in the corner of the garden with her arms folded. Late in the autumn night, the dim street lights had no warmth at all, illuminating her slender figure, quiet and lonely.
Mu Qian didn't notice him or anything around her. She was just thinking about the phone call just now and what Song Qian said to her on the phone.
"Your mother turned herself in and pleaded guilty. She will no longer let me be her lawyer, and she is not planning to find any lawyer to defend herself."
"Why?" she asked him.
Song Qian was silent for a long time before speaking: "She knows that you went back to China to find Huo Jinxi to help her solve this matter. She said that she doesn't need you to do this for her, and she doesn't want to accept your love."
Mu Qian sat in this garden for a long time, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Because he didn't like her, he even felt disgusted by her help. He would rather go to jail than accept any favor from her.
Ever since she was abandoned in the Huo family when she was ten years old, she knew that Rong Qingzi didn't like her, but she never knew that Rong Qingzi hated her so much.
At that time, she didn't understand what she had done wrong, but she vaguely felt that this was only temporary and that her mother could not want her because before that, her mother had always loved her. She probably just couldn't accept the death of her father for a while.
In fact, because she loves her father so much, she needs to be alone to heal her pain.
She is very sensible, and she stays at the Huo family with peace of mind, waiting for her mother to get out of the shadow of her father's departure and take her back to her side.
I waited like this for one year, two years, three years... Rong Qingzi never came back.
And she finally gradually realized the fact that her mother really didn't want her anymore.
She fell into despair again and again, and then gradually returned to calm.
But it wasn't until today that she realized that she still had hope in her heart. Even if that hope was so dim and misty, it was still in her heart.
She has done so much for her, tolerated and worked hard again and again, not because of her father's instructions, but because of the hope in her heart.
But now, this hope has finally been completely shattered.
Mu Qian didn't cry.
She looked at the sky, the ground, and the rockery garden in front of her. Finally, she saw Huo Jinxi standing under the eaves.
The moment she saw Huo Jinxi, she realized how ridiculous she was.
She had hated this man and complained about him. She could no longer be in love with him and couldn't calm down.
But when he threatened her with Rong Qingzi, she did not hesitate, put everything down, and returned to Tongcheng, back to him.
Facing Huo Jinxi, she had not come up with any other countermeasures.
In fact, it is easy to deal with a person, just find his weak spot, just like she dealt with the Cen family, just like Huo Jinxi dealt with her.
He found her weak point and pinched it accurately.
It's not that Huo Jinxi doesn't have his Achilles' heel, his Achilles' heel, such as his grandfather, Huo Qiran - but these are also her Achilles' heel, she can't move, she can't move.
So she willingly obeyed him, obeyed him, and tried to please him, hoping to gain a chance for Rong Qingzi to be free.
But she didn't want it.
Everything she had done for Rong Qingzi was a burden in Rong Qingzi's eyes.
