"You..." Qiqi felt that the loneliness she had just seen must have been her own illusion. "Tang Jue, you are being unreasonable."
"I'm being unreasonable?" Tang Jue's eyes finally showed a trace of anger. He raised his hand to pinch Qiqi's chin and pulled her face closer. "Qiqi, who allowed you to lie? Huh?"
Qiqi took a deep breath.
It looked like he was the one who paid the bill at Houde Mansion today. I was afraid that he had known that she was lying and was waiting to catch her.
Meeting at Qiangui today is definitely not a coincidence.
"If I'm not lying, do you want to hear the truth?"
Tang Jue didn't respond.
Qiqi looked at him quietly, "I don't want to go back to the Tang family with you, nor do I want to meet the elders in your family."
Tang Jue's breathing became much heavier.
Qiqi's eyes, neither dodging nor avoiding, were like crystal under the light of the night lights.
"I don't know what kind of relationship you think between you and me. But I know very well... We are far from being in a relationship where we need to meet each other's parents, and we will never be in a relationship where we need to meet each other's parents." She said in a flat tone.
There was a hint of sharpness in Tang Jue's eyes.
"Tang Jue... you are interested in me, but never take me seriously. No matter what you did to my father, what you did to my aunt, or the violence you used against my colleague today, I... um..."
Before Qiqi could finish her words, Tang Jue suddenly leaned down and kissed her hard.
She was startled and immediately struggled.
However, Tang Jue's kiss was not a kiss, but a bite. The bite was very heavy. When Qiqi struggled, blood immediately oozed from the corner of her lips.
She groaned in pain, and the next moment, was pushed away by Tang Jue.
"get off!"
Qiqi was stunned.
Looking up, Tang Jue had a gloomy look and a fierce expression, which made people shudder.
"I'll say it again, if you don't want me to use violence on you, get out of the car now!"
Qiqi looked at his tense facial lines, hesitated for a moment, picked up her bag, pushed open the car door and got out. In just a few seconds, the car rushed into the night again, raising a gust of wind, without stopping for a moment.
Qiqi was standing in the night wearing her skirt. It was not until this moment that she realized that autumn was almost approaching.
It's a bit chilly on a night like this.
She stood blankly on the street for a long time, looking at the myriad lights in the residential buildings opposite. A feeling of melancholy slowly rose in her heart. At this moment, she didn't even know where to go.
She has no home.
No matter how glorious and dazzling the whole city is, there is no corner that belongs to her.
After standing there in a daze for a long time, she took out her cell phone and called Mo Xun.
"Hello." Mo Xun was asleep at the moment, and his voice sounded a little sleepy.
"Is it convenient for me to stay overnight at your place?"
"Of course." Mo Xun agreed immediately, threw back the quilt and sat up, "Where are you? I'll pick you up now."
His determination warmed Qiqi's cold heart. She stopped a taxi and said, "No need, I'll take a taxi and come right over. This place is very close to your place."
Twenty minutes later, Qiqi arrived at Mo Xun's place.
Mo Xun originally wanted to ask her why she came so late, but seeing that she was in a bad mood, he stopped talking.
"I haven't touched your room, so hurry up and take a shower and go to bed. You still smell like alcohol!"
"Yeah." Qiqi nodded.
Mo Xun glanced at her and asked, "What's the matter with the wound on your mouth?"
"..." Qiqi touched it and felt a little pain. "I was celebrating my birthday with my colleagues tonight and drank a little. I accidentally hit it. I'll go in and take a shower first. You should go to bed early too."
Without saying anything more, he opened the bedroom door and went in.
Mo Xun looked at the embarrassed figure from behind and didn't say anything else.
——
the other side.
Tang Jue was sitting in the hall, with the housekeeper and servants standing by, all of them silent and not daring to say a word.
After a while, Jian Qing called.
"Master, I checked all the traffic records and found that Miss Qi has arrived safely at Mo Xun's place."
Tang Jue's sexy thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
Jian Qing asked uncertainly, "Are we going to pick up Miss Qi?"
“…No need.” After a moment’s hesitation, Tang Jue replied with three words, and then hung up the phone.
He leaned on the sofa and waved his hand in a somewhat upset manner, "Everyone go to bed, turn off the lights for me."
"Yes, young master." The housekeeper and the servants retreated in fear. The lights in the villa, which was originally bright and dazzling, gradually dimmed, and darkness enveloped him.
The face that was originally gorgeous and beautiful finally showed a bit of decadence and loss under the disguise of the night. When such a man put on such an attitude, it was really heartbreaking.
In her Qiqi's world, he is always her opposite, while others are innocent.
They are not from the same world.
However, this gap was the bitter fruit of her own making. How could she blame her
——
Qiqi couldn't sleep all night. After the fight with Tang Jue, she felt extremely depressed and she didn't even know why.
In the morning, Tian Tian woke up at dawn. She was busy in the kitchen all morning, and after making breakfast, Mo Xun got up.
"It smells good." Mo Xun walked into the restaurant smelling the aroma.
"Come and eat." Qiqi placed the chopsticks.
"Then I won't be polite. I haven't eaten it for a while, and I really miss your cooking." Mo Xun stuffed the fried egg into his mouth without hesitation.
"Slow down." Qiqi reminded him.
"By the way, how is your aunt's issue resolved?" Mo Xun thought of this.
"It should have all been resolved." Qiqi thought of Tang Jue and the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau last night, and her expression darkened.
"I've learned about your aunt's case. It's indeed quite tricky. It's not something that can be solved with money. I heard from the people at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau that this kind of thing happened twice before, but Tang Jue settled both times. Unexpectedly, it happened again this time. Tang Jue seemed to have helped again. However, this time it's even trickier than the last time. So, to solve this matter, Tang Jue not only has to spend a lot of money, but also has to show up in person to settle it."
Qiqi was stunned.
She just thought she had heard it wrong.
He raised his eyes and looked at Mo Xun for a long while, "What did you say?"
"Which sentence didn't you hear clearly?" Mo Xun raised his head to look at her, "What's with that expression on your face?"
"Wasn't it Tang Jue who framed my aunt?" Qiqi clenched the spoon. "How come he has become the good man who saved my aunt three times in your opinion?"
"Do you have a misunderstanding about Tang Jue?" Mo Xun looked at him: "I understand it very clearly. Your aunt's company is not reliable. Tang Jue did put some effort into this matter. Let alone framing her, your aunt's company is full of loopholes if you just check it casually. Who needs to be framed?"
