Chapter 858: I’ve lost my mory, can’t rember any affection.
Hearing Mo Xiuchen’s displeasure, Wen Ran blinked and leaned forward from the coffee table to feed a strawberry to his mouth. Mo Xiuchen’s face imdiately broke into a smile, he bit off a small half of the strawberry gently and motioned for her to eat as well.
Wen Ran hesitated for a mont, then fed the remaining half of the strawberry into her mouth.
Seeing this, Mo Xiuchen curled his lips and his good mood, which had been affected by Luo Haofeng, returned.
“Mo Xiuchen, it’s about Yu Ke. You really don’t plan to give them a chance?”
“Is it Qi iling who sent you to speak for them again?” Mo Xiuchen’s smile faded from his lips, and the words that spilled out were indifferent and somber.
He had been on a business trip the other day and had already received a call from the boss of Yu Ke, who was Qi iling’s uncle, and had agreed to give them a chance.
...
It was just that Qi iling didn’t know about it yet because she had fallen out with her cousin, so she was still kept in the dark.
“Mo Xiuchen, as long as you don’t agree to cooperate with Yu Ke, Qi iling will stay in G City. Last night she caused trouble for Xiaoxiao again. I don’t want Xiaoxiao to be affected, so, find another way to get her to leave G City.”
“That’s easy, just pick her up and take her away.”
Mo Xiuchen sounded unbothered, it wasn’t his problem that Qi iling had bothered Bai Xiaoxiao.
“Mo Xiuchen, are you not afraid she will hold a grudge against Ranran?” Luo Haofeng asked, frustrated.
Mo Xiuchen scoffed, “Let her hold a grudge if she wants.”
“Mo Xiuchen, do it as a favor for . I promise, once Qi iling leaves G City, she will not appear before you and Ranran again and won’t affect your moods.”
Luo Haofeng’s tone was almost pleading. Hearing this, Mo Xiuchen suddenly laughed, “Hmm, you think quite highly. I’ll consider it if you give a face, but I have conditions.”
“Mo Xiuchen, what kind of relationship do we have that you’re still making demands of ?” Luo Haofeng protested discontentedly on the other end of the phone.
They had been good brothers for over twenty years, how could he be so heartless?
“I’ve lost my mory, I don’t rember what our relationship was like before.” Mo Xiuchen hooked his lips upward in a pleased arc, saying carelessly a sentence that could make Luo Haofeng choke in rage.
Wen Ran was nearly made to laugh out loud by Mo Xiuchen’s words, and she imdiately raised her hand to cover her mouth, shooting a reproachful look at Mo Xiuchen.
The corners of Mo Xiuchen’s mouth lifted in pleasure.
Luo Haofeng was left speechless, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, “Mo Xiuchen, if you’ve lost your mory and don’t rember , you’re not going to honor old ties. Then why are you still chasing after Ranran? If you’ve got the guts, tell her you’ve lost your mory and don’t rember what your relationship is with her. Go fall in love with another woman!”
His voice carried annoyance, and Wen Ran, who was close by, overheard so of it, her smiling eyes turned towards Mo Xiuchen.
Mo Xiuchen returned her a tender, doting smile, his large hand gently stroked her hair, his tone calm, not angered by Luo Haofeng’s irritation, “Ah Feng, if you don’t agree, I won’t force you. Ranran and I have other things to do, no ti to idle chat with you.”
The implication was that he was about to hang up the phone.
“Ah, I agree, whatever conditions, just say them.”
Luo Haofeng, unwilling as he was, could only agree: Mo Xiuchen, you sly devil, rember this—I will have my day when you co begging for help.
He bitterly thought to himself, and did not know that Mo Xiuchen’s conditions weren’t because of Qi iling, but because Haofeng had ruined his good ti, leaving him in a bad mood.
Mo Xiuchen pondered, and slowly said, word by word, “What you just said, that once Qi iling leaves G City, she will not appear before and Ranran again, well then, each ti she appears before and Ranran, you’ll compensate us for emotional distress—”
Speaking of which, Mo Xiuchen paused again.
It seed he was contemplating how much to charge for emotional damages in a way that was reasonable and wouldn’t be too hard on Luo Haofeng.
The corners of Luo Haofeng’s mouth twitched on the other end of the phone, and he couldn’t help swearing to himself, What a profiteer!
“Let’s make it ten million, in consideration of our friendship of over twenty years, I’ll give you a discount. Otherwise, given Ranran’s and my status, asking for a hundred million for a single breach of trust wouldn’t be too much.”
Why don’t you just rob soone!
Luo Haofeng didn’t dare to blurt out that thought.
Ten million, he really had the nerve to say it.
Luo Haofeng frowned and then agreed, “Fine, if Qi iling shows up in G City and you run into her again, I will compensate you ten million.”
He made it clear, this compensation would only apply in G City.
If he didn’t clarify that, given Mo Xiuchen’s level of cunning, he might just take Xiaoxiao to the Qi Family’s doorstep for a ‘chance’ encounter with Qi iling and bankrupt him, wouldn’t it?
Mo Xiuchen chuckled slyly, sharp as he was, how could he not hear the implicit aning in Luo Haofeng’s words?
Only in G City, huh?
He had plenty of ways to get Qi iling to G City. Since Ah Feng had agreed, it would be sowhat disappointing not to take so money from him under this condition.
His laughter was deep and magnetic, pleasing to Wen Ran’s ears, but to Luo Haofeng, it was chilling.
Mo Xiuchen laughed a few tis and said, “Alright, then I’ll let Qi iling off this ti, for your sake. I will call Yu Ke later and tell them to co to MS Group to discuss the contract terms.”
Luo Haofeng, his heart filled with resentnt towards the ruthless Mo Xiuchen, replied with a forced smile, “Mo Xiuchen, then I won’t disturb your ti with Ranran anymore. I hope I can attend your wedding soon.”
“You’ll be invited, for sure.”
“Hmm,” Luo Haofeng felt a chill again. Why did he even bring up the wedding? If Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran just simply registered for marriage like they did before, wouldn’t he save a sizeable gift of money?
The office door was pushed open, and Qin Mu walked in from outside. Seeing Luo Haofeng just finished a call with so residual emotion on his face, his eyes twinkled with amusent and he asked, “Who were you talking to on the phone with that look on your face?”
“That guy Mo Xiuchen, he was too much.”
Luo Haofeng complained discontentedly, and seeing the almost smiling look on Qin Mu’s face, he inhaled deeply and said, “Ah Mu, do you know what that guy Mo Xiuchen just said?”
Qin Mu sat down on the couch in front of him, “What did he say?”
Luo Haofeng also ca out from behind his desk, sat down on the couch next to Qin Mu, leaned back into the couch, and crossed his legs, “Mo Xiuchen said he’s lost his mory and doesn’t rember his relationship with us, so there’s no need to consider any friendship. All I did was ask him to spare Qi iling this one ti, and he actually laid down a condition—to charge ten million in emotional damages every ti Qi iling shows up near him and Ranran…”
Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Ah Mu, you’re laughing?”
Luo Haofeng frowned. What kind of friends were these, with not a shred of sympathy?
Qin Mu coughed lightly, his handso features still holding back a smile, “Ah Feng, don’t you know that Mo Xiuchen has already sent Yu Ke’s people to MS Group to discuss the contract terms?”
