After the meal, Chen Hui looked at Mo Ting and suddenly laughed. He changed his tone and said, “Young Master Mo, I have a business deal that I want to work with you on. I wonder when you might be free to sign a contract with me?”
His superior tone seemed to have come from knowing that Mo Ting would not reject him.
What was even stranger was that the three Chi family members still acted as if it was a matter of course. There was not the slightest bit of abnormality.
“Oh?”
Mo Ting’s ambiguous “Oh” made Chen Hui furrow his brows. There was a little displeasure on his face. He stretched out his hand in front of Mo Ting to grab something. When he saw Mo Ting’s eyeballs follow his hand moving to the watch on his other hand… he then heaved a sigh of relief.
After Mo Ting’s gaze landed on Chen Hui’s watch, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. It was as if fireworks had appeared in front of his eyes. It took a full three to four seconds before he returned to normal.
This feeling surprised Mo Ting.
This Chen Hui was actually a hypnotist?
Chi Xiao also followed Mo Ting’s gaze and looked over. The surface of the watch on Chen Hui’s wrist was uneven, and there seemed to be something mysterious about it.
The dial of his watch also had layers of wave-like vortexes, which seemed to flow with the movement of the hands.
This watch was specially made!
Chi Xiao looked at Chen Hui, only to see him averting his eyes, not daring to look at the watch at all.
So it turned out that Chen Hui did not know hypnosis. The thing that had the hypnotic effect was actually such a watch?
“I think now is a good time. Why don’t we sign the contract now?”
As he spoke, Chen Hui took out a thin page of the contract from his briefcase.
Chi Xiao poked her head out to take a look. The contract was written very simply. Chen Hui’s responsibilities were written in a vague manner, but what he could get was clear and clear. He had such a huge appetite.
Chi Xiao thought that those who could sign such a contract must be philanthropists.
However, Mo Ting was now “controlled” and listened to Chen Hui. He rubbed his pocket for a while before he mechanically… with some regret, said, “It’s a pity that I didn’t bring a pen. Let’s sign Mr. Chen’s contract another time.”
It was not easy to get such a good opportunity, so how could Chen Hui give it up?
He quickly took out a pen from his briefcase and stuffed it into Mo Ting’s hand. “I have a pen here. Quickly sign it.”
Chi Xiao could not hold back her laughter.
Mo Ting held the pen in his hand. Just as he was about to sign where Chen Hui’s finger was, he suddenly stopped and threw the pen on the ground. “I’m not used to using this kind of pen.”
“…” Chen Hui was anxious to death. Why was this Mo Ting acting like a young master at a time like this?
Wasn’t it enough that he could write with it?
Hence, he bent down and picked up the pen from the ground. He stuffed it into Mo Ting’s palm again and said forcefully, “You’re used to using this pen.”
Mo Ting lowered his head and looked at the pen in his hand strangely. This time, his eldest young master’s temper flared up. He threw the pen far away and accidentally threw it out of the window, and he even reprimanded Chen Hui. “Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that?”
It had to be said that not only did Young Master Mo act like a sickly man with ease, but he also had such an arrogant and ostentatious character. He did not seem out of place at all.
Chi Xiao could already see the impatience on Chen Hui’s face.
Just as Chen Hui was about to say something else, a woman came down from upstairs. She had a graceful figure and her slender white hand rested on the ink-colored handrail of the Chi family’s stairs, giving her a hint of charm.
The woman said slowly, “Brother, what are you doing?”
Her voice was very gentle and her tone was neither fast nor slow. However, this made Chen Hui’s expression change drastically. His eyes looked left and right, in the end, he could only say with a smile, “Little sister, why did you come down? Didn’t I say that I will settle these things?”
The woman who came down was Mo Jun’s true love, Chen Hui’s little sister, Chen Yu.
Chen Yu was about to scold Chen Hui when she saw Chi Xiao looking at her with a smile. When their gazes met… Chi Xiao said a little embarrassedly, “I didn’t expect Uncle Mo’s true love to be such a charming type. I thought all men liked fragile little flowers.”
Mo Ting, who should have been hypnotized and listened to them, actually replied, “It’s probably not fragile little flowers that he likes, right? It’s clearly her face that he likes.”
Chi Xiao felt that what he said made sense, so she smiled and nodded in agreement. She even took the time to greet Chen Yu.
“Thank you for taking care of us during this period of time. Now, I have some understanding of hypnosis. Otherwise, you guys would have really succeeded.”
Chen Yu’s expression changed drastically. She immediately knew that Mo Ting must have been prepared. That was why he was on guard against them and their hypnoses failed.
However, Chen Yu was not in a hurry. She hugged her shoulders and sneered, “Is that so? But don’t you feel weak all over? Is it difficult to breathe?”
Chi Xiao and Mo Ting looked at each other, then, Chen Yu said, “Actually, I didn’t think that I could use hypnosis to control you. After all, this kind of thing is useless to those with a strong will. I even prepared a second hand.”
“The incense in this room, together with the food you just ate, is a rare poison. Don’t worry, as long as you listen obediently, you will be safe and sound..”
After the meal, Chen Hui looked at Mo Ting and suddenly laughed. He changed his tone and said, “Young Master Mo, I have a business deal that I want to work with you on. I wonder when you might be free to sign a contract with me?”
