Chapter 893 He Won't Help
The reality was pretty much as he expected.
Qin Mo has been investigating for some time, but the only family he hasn't investigated is the Xie family.
After all, Grandpa knew very well what happened back then. He wanted Lin Tan to be associated with the Xie family, but he didn't think that Lin Tan was Junyi and Xie Chang'an's daughter.
The time that follows.
Lin Tan went to participate in an event and prepare to join the filming crew.
Qin Mo then arranged their subsequent wedding and investigated Lin Tan's background.
No.
In order to make everything right.
Qin Mo called out both Chi Yuan and Xie Yi.
In the private club, Qin Mo was in a private room with them. After entering, the three of them didn't catch up much. Chi Yuan casually picked up a glass of wine and looked at Qin Mo sitting on the sofa: "I heard you and Lin Tan got your marriage certificate?"
Qin Mo: "Mm."
Xie Yi looked up at him.
He was unaware of Chi Yuan's previous conversation with Qin Mo, and therefore also unaware of Qin Mo's reconciliation with Lin Tan: "Did she use something against him to force him into marriage?"
"What forced marriage?" Chi Yuan knew everything. "He went to get married eagerly."
Xie Yi: "?"
Xie Yi frowned slightly: "Didn't you say before that he wasn't a very good person?"
"That was all a misunderstanding." Chi Yuan betrayed the other person without hesitation. "The two of them are on very good terms now."
Qin Mo also explained: "What happened before was all a misunderstanding; it was Huo Sinian who did it on purpose."
Xie Yi lowered his eyes and took a sip of wine.
A few seconds later.
He held the cup in his hand, fiddling with it, and asked casually, "Does Aunt Yu know?"
"I know." Qin Mo didn't hide it from them. "I took Lin Tan home to meet him on the day we got our marriage certificate. She now agrees to us being together and even gave Lin Tan the family heirloom bracelet."
Chi Yuan was slightly surprised: "Didn't you strongly oppose it before?"
Xie Yi: "That's really a clever tactic."
Chi Yuan sighed, "Indeed, someone who can get your mother to set aside her social class prejudices and agree to you two being together is quite a character."
Since Lin Tan got along well with his mother, Xie Yi has been wary of Lin Tan and doesn't like her much: "If she weren't someone important, how could she have won over our celibate CEO Qin?"
“She’s a very nice person,” Qin Mo said. “But Luo Feng put in a lot of good words for Mom to agree.”
He knew very well that he and Lin Tan alone could not get his mother's approval.
They also knew that she was dissatisfied with both of them and that she wouldn't listen to anything they said.
"Aren't you worried?" Xie Yi asked.
Qin Mo looked up: "What are you worried about?"
"To win over your mother in such a short time and get Qin Luofeng to speak on your behalf, that's not something an ordinary person can do." Xie Yi stroked the cup in his hand. "Aren't you afraid that she has some kind of relationship with Qin Luofeng?"
Chi Yuan looked over.
Xie Yi: "Don't forget, she's still Huo Sinian's fiancée."
Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged: "So you believe Huo Sinian but not me?"
Xie Yi met his gaze: "You know that's not what I meant."
"It was my plan to get Lin Tan involved with your family; it has nothing to do with her." Qin Mo knew why Xie Yi disliked her. "Before meeting your parents, she didn't even know who she was going to meet."
“She could have chosen to distance herself,” Xie Yi said, “but she chose to try to please him.”
Qin Mo: "Where are you trying to please me?"
Xie Yi: "Every word, every expression, every gift—it all counts."
“If she treats you coldly, never smiles, and never brings gifts, you’ll find fault with her for not knowing manners.” Qin Mo exposed her. “You may not like her, but there’s no need to belittle her.”
Xie Yi stared at him.
This is the first time I've seen him so angry in a long time.
"We're all brothers, why make the atmosphere so tense?" Chi Yuan stepped in to smooth things over, not wanting them to argue over a woman. He even said to Xie Yi, "Honestly, it's Qin Mo and Lin Tan who got their marriage certificate, not you and her. Why are you so concerned?"
Xie Yi lifted his eyelids slightly.
“If you’re worried that she might have designs on your family, just be careful when she comes to your house, right?” Chi Yuan said.
Xie Yi didn't speak.
Qin Mo didn't say anything more.
Fortunately, the group had a strong bond since childhood, so even after a few words, the atmosphere remained relatively harmonious.
"You still haven't told us why you called us out today?" Chi Yuan looked at Qin Mo, gradually steer the conversation back on track.
Qin Mo: "I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Xie Yi looked up.
Qin Mo retorted, "If you don't want to, you can refuse."
Xie Yi took a sip of his drink and said casually, "Speak."
"I plan to hold the wedding after Lin Tan finishes filming this movie," Qin Mo said, explaining his idea. "The location will be on the private island I bought before, and I'll borrow some security personnel from you."
Chi Yuan: "?"
Xie Yi: "?"
Both of them were puzzled.
With Qin Mo's status and connections, what kind of security personnel wouldn't he need? Why would he need to borrow any?
“Not everyone can be trusted. I need your trusted confidants.” Qin Mo didn’t hide anything from them. “Huo Sinian hasn’t given up yet. I have to guard against him bribing people to steal the bride.”
Someone capable of doing something like that is certainly capable of bride kidnapping or something similar.
He only gets married once, and he wanted to give Lin Tan the best so that she would have no regrets.
“No problem,” Chi Yuan agreed.
Xie Yi nodded as well.
Chi Yuan then spoke up: "I have a suggestion."
Qin Mo: "?"
Chi Yuan: "Instead of worrying about him trying to steal the bride, we should invite him openly and have someone keep an eye on his movements. If he tries to steal the bride, we should stop him immediately."
“If it were that simple, he wouldn’t have come to us with this,” Xie Yi said bluntly.
Chi Yuan: "Isn't this great?"
Xie Yi glanced at Qin Mo and replied to Chi Yuan, "Do you think he'll just obediently attend the wedding and do nothing? If he secretly arranges for people to be there and control Aunt Yu and the others, then Qin Mo, as the head of the family, will have completely disgraced the Qin family."
Chi Yuan thought for a moment: "Isn't Huo Sinian afraid of disgracing the Huo family?"
"If he were afraid, he wouldn't have said Lin Tan was his fiancée in public, and he certainly wouldn't have tried to steal her away after she got together with Qin Mo." Xie Yi may not like Lin Tan, but he still sees things very clearly.
Chi Yuan thought for a moment.
That makes sense.
After a while.
He seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said to Qin Mo, "Don't you still have an ace up your sleeve?"
Qin Mo looked up, his eyes filled with doubt.
Xie Yi also looked over.
“Huo Zhizhou,” Chi Yuan blurted out, “He’s always chasing after Jiang Ruan, so he’s practically half a member of the Qin family. If we get him to help us come up with a plan, Huo Sinian definitely won’t be able to handle it.”
Xie Yi didn't want to pay any attention to him.
Chi Yuan: "What's with that expression?"
Xie Yi: "His surname is Huo."
Chi Yuan: "Didn't they say he severed ties with the Huo family?"
Xie Yi: "If you cut ties with your family, will you collude with outsiders to harm Chi Qian?"
Chi Yuan: "..."
Chi Yuan still hoped that Qin Mo would try this path: "I think it's worth a try. If Huo Zhizhou is willing, you won't have to be so apprehensive."
"He won't help, and I won't bother him." Qin Mo was very clear about this.
Putting aside the relationship between Huo Zhizhou and Huo Sinian, he wouldn't easily interfere in order to maintain the hard-won balance between them.
Once you get involved.
Huo Sinian would disrupt Huo Zhizhou's peace.
For example, there's that child, Sui Sui, and another example, Jiang Ruan.
