While Su Xiqin was resting at home, it was Tang Xi who took care of her and her son. Although Su Xiqin said she didn't need a hand, Tang Xi insisted on staying over at her home.
"I will stay until both of you recover. If Scum Mo dares to come again, I will kick him in the *ss."
It was the third night when Tang Xi said this, and Mo Jintian, who was sitting on the couch and playing with blocks, raised his iconic mushroom head as he blinked his big eyes with confusion. "Aunt Xi, it's better to hit him with my sword than to kick him in the *ss."
Tang Xi felt awkward as she shouldn't have said that in front of the kid, and the corners of Su Xiqin's lips twitched as she rolled her eyes at Tang Xi.
"Go to bed now; you have school tomorrow." Su Xiqin patted the little guy in the back of his head.
The little guy looked up at the two as if they were going to do something bad without him knowing, and he said reluctantly, "It's only a bit after 8 PM."
"It's almost nine o'clock, and you have to go to bed early to get to school tomorrow." Su Xiqin reached out and pointed at the clock that hung on the wall.
"I sleep a lot every day, and I can't fall asleep this early," the little guy muttered and moved his body with a look of displeasure.
Su Xiqin ignored his request and pushed his arm as she said, "Don't try to negotiate with me, hurry up."
"You two must have some secrets to talk about; that's why you're pushing me away," the little guy murmured as he dragged his slippers on the floor and walked towards his room with a lot of reluctance.
Tang Xi heard what he said and covered her mouth as she chuckled, "Little Milk Bun, you're thinking too much."
Mo Jintian walked past her, pouting his lips, and he squinted his eyes in disbelief, so Su Xiqin got up and followed him.
A few minutes later, Su Xiqin came out of the little guy's bedroom and said to Tang Xi, "This Milk Bun is getting naughtier."
"The little guy sure is playful."
Su Xiqin took a seat beside Tang Xi, and the latter turned her head and said, "What are you going to do now? Just keep fighting with Scum Mo like this? If he doesn't agree to the divorce, we can file an appeal."
"I'm also trying to think of a way. I will probably get a lawyer to inquire about this, because my situation is special after all. I don't want to make a big deal out of it unless it's absolutely necessary. It will not do Jintian any good if things get big."
While speaking, she leaned back towards the couch.
Tang Xi sat up straight at once and leaned towards Su Xiqin. "If you really want a lawyer, I'll find you the best one."
Su Xiqin glanced at her and said, "We'll talk about it then."
Tang Xi seemed to have suddenly thought of something and bumped her in the arms. "I've heard that the Mo Corporation lost a lot of collaborations recently."
Su Xiqin furrowed her brows. Mo Xigu hadn't come back at all these days, and Mo Jinghan's phone call was quite short without mentioning these things. Meanwhile, she simply didn't have the extra time to care about these things, so she didn't know about any of this.
She looked at Tang Xi in surprise. "What is the reason for this?"
"Who knows? Maybe because Scum Mo is too much of a player and got involved with the woman of a president of a big corporation who he shouldn't have, and now he has to suffer this misfortune."
Su Xiqin lowered her head as she pondered, and Tang Xi touched Su Xiqin's arm with her elbow to get the attention.
"Susu, this is a chance. As long as you can get a contract with a big company in exchange for the divorce papers with him, I think you can definitely get him to agree."
Su Xiqin raised her head as she smiled and looked at her best friend. "Xixi, don't be naive. I didn't get to trade in Zhuosheng's contract last time either."
"There's no contract to be made with a man like that who has no bottom line."
"Susu, take a look at the situation first and grab your chances. I heard that someone has already put out the word to destroy the Mo Corporation, so I feel that this time it will be different from the past."
Su Xiqin didn't expect it to be this serious, and she couldn't help but furrow her brows as she wondered who Mo Xigu had offended?
————————
Su Xiqin suddenly dreamed of her eighteenth birthday that night, and she remembered that it was the afternoon when he held her hands as he led her to an exquisite gift shop with a warm smile on his face.
"Xiqin, I have a special gift for you."
She was stunned for a moment, and just then he said something to the shopkeeper, who took out a fine box and handed it over.
He held the box in his hands and said with deep affection, "Xiqin, this is the birthday gift from me; I hope you can always keep it on in the future."
Then, he opened the box, revealing a unique silver bracelet. She was unable to react to the sudden change, and the bracelet was already on her wrist before she even realized.
It was a bracelet with stars on it.
That evening, they went to the amusement park where it was only the two of them, and he gestured to the carousel in front of them as he spoke with passion.
"Xiqin, I know you like to ride the merry-go-round. Once we get married, I'll build you a one-of-a-kind amusement park where you can sit on the merry-go-round and design your favorite jewelry."
At that time, she felt that she had gotten the whole world; no one had ever treated her so well except for Mo Xigu. From then on, she only had him in her heart.
She rode the merry-go-round all night, and she smiled as she gazed at Mo Xigu, who stood beside her. He stared back at her and smiled as if he was the sunlight in the winter, and his smile drove away the night's cold; she felt warmth from the soles of her feet to the heart,
Su Xiqin laughed at the beauty of this dream until she woke up laughing. She opened her eyes abruptly and stared into the darkness of her room when reality hit her. Why did I dream of this?
It was so beautiful at the time that she felt it was unreal, so she never thought about it.
Once she was awake, she could no longer sleep, so she lay there until dawn when she got up to prepare breakfast.
After dropping off Mo Jintian at his school, she went back to the Mo Corporation. The wound on her forehead was practically healed, so she used some makeup to gently cover it up;it was hard to notice if others didn't pay extra attention.
"Su, you're finally here. I could barely hold up without you." Assistant Zhang Jing approached Su Xiqin immediately when she got into the office.
Su Xiqin didn't have much of an expression on her face, and she asked a question faintly.
"Is it that serious?"
Zhang Jing followed her toward her office and whispered, "It's been dark and dead in the office lately."
Su Xiqin turned her head to look at her, and Zhang Jing muttered, "Su, I don't know what's going on, but there haven't been any new contracts these days, just the old ones, so the company is on edge. Also, CEO Mo hasn't been in the company in the last few days."
Tang Xi''s words echoed in Su Xiqin's ears, "I heard that someone has put out the word to destroy the Mo Corporation."
So it's not just a rumor.
Seeing that Su Xiqin didn't say anything, Zhang Jing asked, "Su, how is your forehead?"
Su Xiqin pulled her thoughts back and responded. "It's fine, you can work on your stuff for now."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
The office became silent again once Zhang Jing left, and Su Xiqin looked out into the open working area outside, feeling that it had never been so dead. Maybe this really is a chance.
At noon, Shao Zhengyang asked Su Xiqin to meet him at a western restaurant to discuss the repair fee for Bai Yansen's car.
After dragging it on for a while, Su Xiqin felt that it was time to settle it, so she turned up at 11:50 AM as promised. Shao Zhenyang already booked a private room. When Su Xiqin appeared, Shao Zhengyang had already arrived.
"Ms. Su, please have a seat." After Su Xiqin stepped into the elegant private room, Shao Zhengyang greeted her with enthusiasm.
