Chapter 604 With money, everything is negotiable

Half an hour later, Lin Tan had organized all her belongings.

Looking at her clean and tidy home, she felt much more comfortable.

Whether it was because she had been away from Huo Sinian for too long or because her mindset had changed after changing her environment, she felt that this was the most relaxed and carefree time she had experienced in recent years, without any mental pressure.

If possible.

She hopes it will always be like this.

She hopes Huo Sinian will never appear in her world again.

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Mo suddenly asked.

"I'll treat you to dinner later," Lin Tan said. "It'll be as a thank you for helping me pack."

Qin Mo: "It's my treat."

Lin Tan: "I can do it."

Seeing that she cared a lot, Qin Mo didn't say anything more.

During dinner that evening, the two chatted about other things, and then Qin Mo's phone rang.

It was sent by Yu Peiyun's bodyguard.

[Young Master, the recording of Madam's conversation with Miss Lin has been sent to your email. Madam intended to tell you this when she came, but I was driving and couldn't free my hands.]

Qin Mo: [Understood.]

Lin Tan asked instinctively, "Are you busy with something?"

"It's nothing, someone asked me for leave tomorrow, something came up and I'm going to be held up." Qin Mo said it so naturally that Lin Tan didn't notice anything amiss.

After dinner that evening, Qin Mo returned to his residence.

He opened the recording in his email.

After hearing the whole story, he finally understood why his mother agreed to his relationship with Lin Tan, and why Lin Tan had remained so calm throughout.

She genuinely disliked him and truly wanted to sever all ties with him. Her conversations with her mother revealed that her feelings for him only brought her distress, not joy.

She started interacting with him and having meals with him because he had helped her, and he asked her not to push him away.

At this moment, Qin Mo suddenly felt a sense of defeat.

Suddenly I don't know what to do.

Should we continue or give up to avoid causing her trouble?

Finally, he sent Jiang Ruan a message to see what she thought: "[Would it bother you if someone you don't like was pursuing you?]"

Jiang Ruan was stunned when she saw the message, and was a little puzzled as to why he would ask this question.

Before she could think it through.

Qin Mo then asked, "Someone asked me for your contact information; they want to pursue you. Should I give it to them?"

Jiang Ruan replied quickly: 【No.】

Jiang Ruan replied to his previous sentence: 【Yes.】

She's doing well in both her career and family life, so she's not interested in love.

Seeing the two messages so straightforward, Qin Mo's feelings were mixed. After thinking it over, he sent another message to someone else, asking the same question.

Secretary Wen's answer was the same as Jiang Ruan's: 【Yes.】

Qin Mo pursed his thin lips into a straight line.

so.

Lin Tan didn't like him pursuing her.

She was just too embarrassed to be too harsh with him because he had helped her and had said those things to her.

She suppressed her emotions and accepted his so-called pursuit.

Thinking of this, Qin Mo sent a message to the group chat he had with Xie Yi and Chi Yuan, calling them out.

Inside a private room at the bar.

Xie Yi and Chi Yuan arrived late.

Chi Yuan, a chatterbox, noticed Qin Mo had ordered several bottles of good wine and asked, "What's wrong? Heartbroken?"

Xie Yi, as usual, was sarcastic: "You overestimate him. Where would a lonely old man like him find a partner?"

"That's true." Chi Yuan nodded in agreement, sat down on the leather sofa, and said casually, "So you're worried about the company? Trying to seize power from Jiang Ruan?"

Xie Yi: "Can he win?"

Chi Yuan thought for a moment and said, "It is a bit risky."

Xie Yi: "It's not a little bit, it's that there's no chance."

Chi Yuan: "Don't you give people any face in front of them?"

Xie Yi: "Do we need to give Jiang Ruan face because of her background?"

Chi Yuan thought for a moment.

With a powerful mother, a chairman father, a shrewd ex-husband, and Jiang Ruan herself with unlimited potential for growth, it would indeed be difficult for Qin Mo to gain any advantage from these people.

"What is he worried about?"

"Ask him," Xie Yi said succinctly.

"What are you worried about?" Chi Yuan asked casually, with a hint of curiosity. "Tell us so we can have a good laugh."

Qin Mo glanced at them.

I think it was a mistake to call them out.

What could two single people possibly know?

"Look, look, that look again." Chi Yuan clicked his tongue twice. "Don't forget that you were the one who invited us out today, not the other way around."

Qin Mo withdrew his question, his face as indifferent as ever: "I just invited you out for a couple of drinks."

Chi Yuan drawled out the last syllable: "Simple."

Xie Yi: "Heh."

Qin Mo was emotional, so much so that after Xie Yi spoke, he turned his gaze to him and asked emotionlessly, "I heard that you and Chi Yuan's sister are getting married soon?"

Xie Yi: "?"

Chi Yuan: "How come I didn't know?"

Chi Qian has always been against her relationship with Xie Yi, hasn't she?

Could it be that they've started dating behind his back?

"When did you start getting involved with Chi Qian?"

"I'm not talking about Chi Qian, I'm talking about Chi Jing." Qin Mo's words effectively killed two people, showing his ruthlessness.

Xie Yi: "..."

Chi Yuan: "..."

Chi Yuan picked up his wine glass and took a sip, his tone similar to before: "Trying to disgust people on purpose, huh?"

Qin Mo: "Mm."

Qin Mo: "Who told you to be so annoying?"

Xie Yi said unhurriedly, "I heard that you took a woman to see the old man a few days ago."

Chi Yuan sat up straight: "Which family's young lady?"

Xie Yi: "I don't know, I think her name is Lin Tan."

Chi Yuan: "How did you know?"

"Grandpa Qin called my grandpa and said that his son Qin brought home a girl, and the two of them are getting married soon," Xie Yi said seriously. "He even mocked my grandpa for not having a granddaughter-in-law."

Qin Mo: "..."

Qin Mo silently picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

Grandpa really can't keep his mouth shut.

"I didn't realize you were such a quiet person who accomplishes great things in silence." Chi Yuan chuckled. "I thought I was all married to Xie Yi and had kids, and you, this ice block, were still all alone."

Qin Mo poured himself some wine: "You actually believe the old man's nonsense?"

Xie Yi: "Got it, didn't succeed."

Chi Yuan chuckled: "With that face that looks like he owes people eight million every day, it's no wonder he can't win her over."

Chi Yuan continued, "But I'm a little curious, whose girl is that, and when did you two get together?"

Xie Yi took a sip of wine: "It was probably many years ago."

Chi Yuan: "???"

Chi Yuan's brow furrowed so deeply it could trap a fly: "How did you know?"

Qin Mo also looked over.

He hadn't told those two idiots about his relationship with Lin Tan.

"He had a girl's ID photo in his wallet before." Xie Yi betrayed Qin Mo without hesitation, still maintaining that casual and indifferent demeanor.

Chi Yuan pressed further, "What does it look like?"

Xie Yi: "I didn't see it clearly, but I saw a photo tucked inside."

Chi Yuan curled his lips and shook his head: "So our young master Qin actually likes pure love stories."
