Chapter 605 A Strong Desire for Revenge

Qin Mo looked up at him.

The coldness in his eyes was self-evident.

"Did you call us out because you want us to come up with some ideas for you?" Chi Yuan kept talking, he was such a chatterbox.

Qin Mo: "Just you guys?"

Chi Yuan: "What happened to us?"

Qin Mo didn't say anything.

It's a bit stuffy.

Xie Yi glanced at his face and said calmly, "Want us to help you pursue her?"

Chi Yuan: "If you pay, anything is negotiable."

Qin Mo's first reaction was to refuse. He didn't think these two had any ability to pursue someone. If they did, he wouldn't be single for so many years.

but--

Thinking about Jiang Ruan and Wen Zhi's answers, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

If Lin Tan doesn't like her, then his pursuit of her is a burden.

Is it necessary for him to continue in this situation?

"Go ahead and say it, I won't laugh at you." Seeing that he really had something to say, Chi Yuan stopped joking like before.

Xie Yi took a slow sip, his narrow eyes looking at Qin Mo without much emotion, and asked a slightly serious question: "Are you worried that Lin Tan's background won't pass your parents' approval?"

Chi Yuan was taken aback and asked, "Is it because of this?"

They knew more or less about the daughters of the major families, and had met most of the women who were well-matched in terms of social status, but there was definitely no one with the surname Lin among them, so it was not difficult for Xie Yi to ask this question.

Qin Mo put down his wine glass: "No."

Chi Yuan, a chatterbox, asked, "What's that?"

Qin Mo lowered his eyes for a while before speaking, "She doesn't like me."

A string of question marks appeared on Chi Yuan's forehead.

He asked directly: "Just because of this?"

Qin Mo: "Mm."

Chi Yuan laughed immediately, clicking his tongue a few times, completely ignoring the cold aura emanating from him: "Are you a newbie? If she doesn't like you, why don't you go after her? Throw money at her, give her gifts, make your presence known, with your looks and background, you'd be a sure thing."

Qin Mo didn't say anything.

From childhood to adulthood, he has basically gotten whatever he wanted without ever encountering any setbacks. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe his life as smooth sailing. If it were any other matter, he would definitely do as Chi Yuan suggested.

But if his behavior and actions cause her trouble, is there any point in pursuing him?

"Or are you afraid of being rejected?" Chi Yuan asked.

Qin Mo: "No."

Chi Yuan: "Then what are you hesitating for?"

Qin Mo pursed his thin lips, picked up a glass of wine without saying a word, and drank it all in one gulp.

Chi Yuan's forehead was covered in question marks.

I have absolutely no idea what he's doing.

"It's nothing." Qin Mo's face returned to its usual cold and taciturn demeanor. He placed the cup on the table and naturally changed the subject, his gaze falling on Xie Yi. "I heard your parents are quite satisfied with Chi Jing?"

Xie Yi toyed with the cup, not even looking up: "What does this have to do with me?"

Chi Yuan: "Didn't you go on a few dates with her?"

“If driving someone around counts as a date, then I’ve dated Chi Qian way more often than that other person,” Xie Yi said calmly. “How come I’ve never heard you mention that I date her?”

Chi Yuan leaned back, looking quite content: "I want to live a couple more days."

That girl disliked him mentioning her marriage the most.

If she knew he was telling people outside that she was dating Xie Yi, she could spread rumors all over the world that he had an illegitimate child.

We were just talking about this.

Xie Yi's phone suddenly rang.

When I took it out, I saw that it was a call from Chi Jing.

"It seems Young Master Xie has a date with a beautiful lady." Chi Yuan was a smooth talker.

Xie Yi: "I will tell Aunt Tao that you want to get married and ask her to arrange more blind dates for you."

Chi Yuan: "..."

Chi Yuan: "My sister is absolutely right."

Xie Yi paused, then subconsciously looked up: "What did she say?"

Chi Yuan betrayed Chi Qian without hesitation: "Xie Yi is petty and has a strong desire for revenge."

Xie Yi's voice was gentle: "Is that so?"

Chi Yuan's lips curled up: "These are her exact words."

Xie Yi silently made a note of it.

Two hours later, the group dispersed.

Qin Mo didn't voice his worries and concerns until the end. He didn't want to talk about it, and Chi Yuan and Xie Yi didn't ask any further questions either, since people need to maintain boundaries in their interactions.

The group parted ways, and Xie Yi got into his car.

Thinking about what Chi Yuan had said in the private room, he sent Chi Qian a message: "Your brother said you have a lot of opinions about me."

Chi Qian: [?]

Xie Yi simply called her, his voice light and casual, almost indifferent: "He said you think I'm petty and vengeful."

The pond was shallow.

My first reaction was that Chi Yuan was really unreliable.

“I never said that. It was probably just an excuse he made up to insult you,” she replied, admitting that it was impossible for her to admit it. “But now it seems that his assessment was quite accurate.”

Xie Yi: "Really?"

Chi Qian: "Of course."

Xie Yi: "Do you believe that I, a person with an extremely strong desire for revenge, would tell your parents that the person I want to marry is you, not Chi Jing?"

A simple sentence made Chi Qian pause.

She knew very well that if Xie Yi really said that, her parents would definitely make her marry him and would start planning the wedding in a short time. She wouldn't have a chance to object, let alone run away from the wedding.

After all, in their eyes, no matter how good her relationship with Jiang Ruan was, friendship could not compare to the practical benefits of a marriage alliance.

The reason this isn't happening now is because Xie Yi hasn't made a statement.

His parents liked Chi Jing fairly well.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Xie Yi asked her.

“What I mean is that Chi Yuan’s self-assessment is quite accurate,” Chi Qian slowly replied.

In any case, Xie Yi cannot be offended.

If you accidentally get yourself involved, you'll suffer a huge loss.

"Are you so afraid of marrying me?" Xie Yi's voice was devoid of emotion.

Chi Qian: "I just don't want to be a scumbag woman."

Xie Yi: "What do you mean?"

Chi Qian lied with a straight face: "If you really marry me, you can only be a monk for the rest of your life."

Xie Yi: "?"

Xie Yi's voice was calm: "Be more specific."

Chi Qian: "I like girls."

Xie Yi scoffed.

They can even come up with such a ridiculous reason to avoid getting married.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you," he said.

A hint of doubt flashed in Chi Qian's eyes.

Before she could say anything more, Xie Yi's voice came through again: "Hang up."

Chi Qian pressed further, "What about the marriage?"

"I have no interest in being a gay man." Xie Yi echoed her words, giving her a reassuring answer, and then hung up without waiting for her reaction.

Chi Qian knew he was joking, but the answer was good to her.

As long as she doesn't get married or have an arranged marriage, she doesn't need to worry about many things.

Thinking of this, she sent Jiang Ruan a message: "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I don't need to worry about the wedding anymore."

Jiang Ruan was busy when she saw the message. After understanding the implied meaning, she replied with two words: 【Congratulations.】

Ike Shallow: [Want to grab a bite sometime?]

Jiang Ruan: [Let's make plans after I'm done with this.]

Chi Qian: [OK.]

After reading the message, Jiang Ruan continued her conversation with the lawyer.

Since receiving the audio file from Qin Muchi, she has listened to it repeatedly. It not only contains their discussion on how to formulate a plan, but also mentions the names of people present during the argument.

Most importantly, this is not an audio file, but a video recording. The image was always pointed at the ground without shaking, which was obviously something Qin Muchi had planned in advance.
