Of course, she didn't have any contact with Qi Boyan during this period, and the old man of the Mo family didn't contact her actively, as if nothing had happened.

She didn't do anything in Lanlin Bay. She was just idle and dazed. The aunt at home was also a little surprised: "Xiaochu, don't you have to go to work today?"

"I want to give myself a break and have some rest."

"It's good this way. Otherwise, I'd be too tired and wouldn't have any space of my own. Health is more important."

"Yes,"

She nodded, holding the phone, feeling uneasy.

In the evening, around dinner time, Xie Jiuyi called her and asked, "Are you home?"

"Ah."

"Would you like me to have dinner with you?"

Xie Jiuyi had just got off work and had specially packed some of Jian Chu's favorite dishes. He had just arrived home.

Jian Chu sighed and whispered, "I don't have much appetite."

"Stop talking nonsense and come here."

Xie Jiuyi’s request for the order.

Jian Chu had no choice but to accept the offer. Besides, given the current situation, she could leave at any time. After this meal, she didn't know when she would be able to have the next meal.

So she's going.

Jian Chu put on her shoes and went to Xie Jiuyi's side. Jian Chu had already laid out the dishes. She was pregnant now, but looking at her back you couldn't tell that she was a pregnant woman at all.

Seeing Jian Chu coming, she waved and said, "Come and sit down. Besides Auntie, there are only two of us at home. Shen Linfeng has to go back to the old house tonight to help me get something. I asked my mother to invite him to dinner. I said he was too annoying and it was tiring to pester me all day. Don't worry, it's enough time for the two of us to have a quiet meal."

Jian Chu walked to the table and sat down, looking at the dishes on the table, but still had no appetite.

Xie Jiuyi picked up some food for Jian Chu and said, "Don't think too much. Eat something first, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."

Jian Chu forced a smile, picked up the chopsticks and ate in small bites.

The two were silent for a while, and Xie Jiuyi couldn't help but speak: "Xiaochu, don't think too much. Since God forces us to face this situation, just accept it with pleasure. Maybe everything will go smoothly from now on. And to be honest, the attitude of the old man of the Mo family now is that he must have you. It's because you are too outstanding, so he is fighting for you to go to the Mo family."

Xie Jiuyi looked at her and said, "No matter what time it is, I am here. As long as you say a word, I will appear at any time, understand? Don't think that I am a pregnant woman now, and don't think that it is inconvenient for me to be like this. I am very flexible."

As she spoke, she did not forget to twist her waist, trying to praise Jian Chu for her flexibility.

Jian Chu couldn't help but laugh. Although she was in a bad mood, Xie Jiuyi's words made her heart warm.

Jian Chu nodded and said, "I feel it all. Don't worry, I know what you are thinking, so you should take good care of yourself. Giving me a healthy daughter-in-law is your most important thing."

As for the Mo family’s affairs, Xie Jiuyi should not get involved.

The Mo family even plotted against Qi Baiyan, so Xie Jiuyi could never be a match for the Mo family.

Xie Jiuyi didn't know what she was thinking. He was still thinking about Jian Chu's words: "You only have your daughter-in-law in your eyes, right? Be careful or I will give you a godson instead of a daughter-in-law."

"I'm already in such a difficult situation, are you sure you won't satisfy me?" Jian Chu raised his eyebrows, trying his best to control his inner unrest.

Xie Jiuyi was too lazy to argue with her at this time, and just whispered to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, we will fight against the enemy and block the water. Besides, we still have Shen Linfeng and I, we will help you."

Jian Chu nodded and said yes, she did not continue to talk about this topic, but turned to work. She said: "I probably won't be able to return to the project team recently, but if you have anything to tell me, I will not delay the progress of the project, and I will continue to do the work that needs to be done."

"What's wrong with you? It feels like you're planning what's going to happen next."

"What I told you this morning was not just talk. There are some things that must be announced first, otherwise I'm afraid the storm will come suddenly." Jian Chu was also helpless, but if she didn't say it, there would be no way to solve or deal with it if a situation really occurred.

After hearing this, Xie Jiu refused to say another word and his face looked very gloomy. The two of them ate quietly. In fact, neither of them had much appetite, and the atmosphere was indeed a bit depressing.

Before 7:30, Jian Chu went home early.

Xie Jiuyi didn't stop her. At this time, let her be quiet.

At this moment, in the club in the same city.

In the private room, the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy and solemn. The man sat in the middle of the sofa with an expressionless face. He glanced at the lawyer with glasses beside him with an ice-cold look.

He said indifferently: "The old man of the Mo family, right?"

The lawyer had a smile on his face: "Yes, Mr. Qi, Mr. Mo asked me to come and talk to you." The lawyer had a hypocritical smile on his face.

Qi Boyan snorted coldly: "What do you want to talk about? Just be direct and don't waste everyone's time."

If this matter was not related to Jian Chu, a lawyer's appearance would not be worthy of him coming here in person.

It's just because the other party is the Mo family and they have a direct relationship with Jian Chu, so he had no choice.

Although the lawyer was well-informed and had worked with the Mo family for many years, he was still affected by Qi Boyan's aura when facing him. However, he tried his best to remain calm, stood up without changing his expression, and personally poured a cup of tea for Qi Boyan: "Mr. Qi, have a glass of water and let's talk slowly."

Qi Baiyan did not move, but looked at him indifferently: "Just tell me directly, what does the old man of the Mo family want to do?"

"Nothing, the old man just wanted to ask Mr. Qi for his opinion. Do you have any idea to let Miss Jian return to the Mo family?"

"Are you asking for my opinion?" Qi Baiyan asked indifferently.

The lawyer was somewhat at a loss and remained silent for a while, then he said, "Mr. Qi, you also know that our old man Mo only has this one granddaughter. There will only be benefits and no harm in recognizing her. This is also very good for Miss Jian. The Mo family will not treat Miss Jian unfairly. Everything in the future belongs to Miss Jian."

"So Mr. Mo brought me along to act as a lobbyist?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, his face extremely cold.

The lawyer did not deny it. After all, that was what he meant. He smiled and said, "It's not a loss for Mr. Qi either."

"What benefits can I get?" Qi Baiyan asked calmly.

"Of course it's the cooperation with the Mo family. And if there's a need for the Mo family in the future, the old man will of course choose the Qi family first."

"That's all?" Qi Boyan smiled indifferently, but his eyes were cold. He looked up at the lawyer and said sarcastically, "Is the Mo family too stingy to me?"

The lawyer was stunned.

Qi Boyan added: "If the Mo family wants me to convince Jian Chu, then let the head of the Mo family come and talk to me in person, at least to show me their sincerity."

After saying that, Qi Boyan stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, the lawyer hurriedly followed and stopped him: "Boss Qi, don't leave in a hurry. Since you are here, it means you are still interested in this matter. Although Miss Jian and you are married, as far as I know, you are now divorced. If we go directly to Miss Jian, it may be more legitimate than to go to Boss Qi. It's just because of Boss Qi's status in North City, so we, Mr. Mo, also want to give Boss Qi a chance to discuss. It depends on whether Boss Qi is willing to cooperate."

"If I don't cooperate, will you still threaten me?"

Qi Baiyan snorted lightly, his expression was particularly cold, and his eyes were filled with extreme coldness. Both his eyes and his expression were filled with displeasure and anger. (End of this chapter)
