My ex-boyfriend is looking forward to my bankruptcy

Qu Tao pretended not to hear and quickened his pace, but before he reached the gate of the courtyard, Xi Mozhou caught up with him and grabbed his wrist.

"Come back with me, wash your hands and have dinner."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xi, but it's getting late. I should go back to my home."

Qu Tao didn't look at him and tried several times to shake off his restrained arms. Xi Mozhou frowned when he heard the deliberate alienation in his words.

"Do you want to go in by yourself, or should I carry you in?"

The two looked at each other, both with suppressed anger in their eyes.

In the evening, the street lights in the community suddenly lit up, and together with the few remaining rays of sunlight in the sky, they shone on the two of them.

A white SUV slowly stopped at the door of the villa next door. Shen Yichen got out of the car and walked towards this side with confusion.

"What are you two doing..."

"get off work?"

Xi Mozhou didn't answer his question, but greeted him.

The tense atmosphere was eased by the sudden intrusion of an outsider, and Xi Mozhou's grip on Qu Tao's wrist also lightened a lot.

"Are you two enjoying the sunset?"

Shen Yichen responded to Xi Mozhou and laughed. Then he thought of something and looked at Qu Tao who was silent.

"The day after tomorrow, the weekend, I'm hosting a housewarming party at home. If Mr. Qu is free, would you like to come over?"

"Housewarming party?"

Qu Tao looked up at him, Shen Yichen nodded and pointed to the villa next door.

"Yes, I just moved here a few days ago. Didn't Mo Zhou tell you? This time, it's all thanks to his help."

"Oh...really?"

No wonder he said that when he became rich, he would buy the house next door and become neighbors, but someone was unwilling to do so.

Qu Tao glanced at Xi Mozhou coldly, and when he was not paying attention, he shook off his hand and ran out.

"Qu Tao, come back!"

In the quiet air, Xi Mozhou's voice was bone-chilling, but Qu Tao didn't even turn his head.

Shen Yichen looked at the figure running away, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"It's been several years, and Mr. Xi, who is always decisive in business, still hasn't won her over. Can't you try to be more straightforward and propose to her directly?"

Xi Mozhou looked at the figure that had completely disappeared, retracted his gaze, and gave him a warning glance.

"You think I haven't thought about it?"

Three years ago, at Shen Yichen's instigation, when he heard someone say they loved him in person, he tried to muster up the courage, but... before he could take action, the person ran away.

Three years have passed, and he can no longer find the courage he had back then. He also begins to doubt Qu Tao's feelings for him.

Did he really love her, or did she choose to stay by his side just because they slept together?

At the beginning of those years, the words that were not said in time and the secrets that lingered for many years missed the opportunity, accumulated over the years, and slowly grew into thorns in my heart.

The autumn wind blew, bringing cool breezes. Shen Yichen looked around and thought of the economic news he saw yesterday morning.

"You are suppressing his company every day, just to clip his wings and trap him by your side, but aren't you worried that it will backfire?"

"As expected of Mr. Shen, you saw through me at a glance."

After Xi Mozhou finished teasing, he looked at the gradually darkening sky, pointed in the direction of the hall, and ended the current topic.

"We got a new chef a few days ago. Would you like to come in and try his cooking and have a drink?"

"A new chef? Are you trying to imitate him and capture someone's stomach?"

Having his thoughts exposed, Xi Mozhou walked to the hall, feeling very angry.

"You've been talking so much. I see you're full without having to eat."

Shen Yichen was a step behind and followed him with a wry smile.

"So angry? Considering you helped me a lot with buying the house, bring your people to the housewarming party the day after tomorrow and I'll help you think of a solution."

"No, I can handle it myself."

I guess that little thing will hide from him again in the next two days. Xi Mozhou felt a headache just thinking about it.

At Yonghe Apartment, Qu Tao had a simple meal, took a shower, and sat on the sofa in the living room.

I didn't turn on my phone for a day and a night, and there were a lot of missed calls and messages on it.

After replying to his relatives and acquaintances, Qu Tao returned to the chat box with Mu Jingyan.

The message started, and it should have been sent by Xi Mozhou right after he took the phone away and turned it off.

"Mr. Qu, are you with Mr. Xi now? Did he give you any trouble?"

"Mr. Qu, if you need cash flow, I can provide some funds. You don't need to worry."

"Mr. Qu, please tell me you're safe after you turn on the phone. I'm very worried."

The following messages were all sent from this morning until now, and the address was changed from Mr. Qu to Qu Tao.

"Qu Tao, are you okay? Why is your phone still turned off?"

"Qu Tao, I'm really worried. Please see this message and reply."

Qu Tao looked at the dialog box, thought for a while, and then sent the message.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Mu. I'm fine. I'll figure out the funding issue myself, so I won't bother you."

"I'm relieved that you're safe."

"Is it convenient? Do you want to come out for a drink?"

As soon as the message was sent, Mu Jingyan replied immediately. Qu Tao glanced at the wall clock.

In fact, it was still early, but Qu Tao already knew Mu Jingyan's feelings for her, and she didn't want to have too much contact with him.

"I'm a little tired today, let's do it another day."

"Okay, then you go to bed early."

Without being disturbed by Xi Mozhou last night, Qu Tao slept well and arrived at the company just after eight o'clock.

"Mr. Qu, this is the document that Di Feng sent over early this morning. Before he left, he told the front desk to make sure it's delivered to you."

Qu Tao took the file bag from Assistant Wang with doubts. It was very light.

"What is it? Have you seen it?"

"No."

"Okay, you go out first."

After Assistant Wang left, Qu Tao opened the file bag and saw what was inside, which made him even more confused.

There were two pieces of paper in the file bag, one was the transfer rights of the store, and the other was the operating rights of the flower shop opened next to his coffee shop.

What this means is that Xi Mozhou transferred the newly renovated flower shop to his name.

A slap in the face, followed by a sweet reward. What is Xi Mozhou up to?

Qu Tao took out his cell phone, wanting to ask him something, but after thinking for a few seconds, he put the phone back on the table.

No matter what he means, he caused his company to lose so much, so just consider this as compensation from him, don't refuse it.

At around ten o'clock, Qu Tao finished talking with the financial manager, looked at the accounts of the past few days, walked out of the office and went to the secretary's office next door.

"Assistant Wang, come with me to our flower shop."

Assistant Wang was on the phone, and only after hanging up did he walk towards him.

"Mr. Qu, why don't we change the time? The front desk just called and Mr. Mu from Yinfeng wants to see you. He's downstairs now."

"Oh..." Qu Tao frowned, "Have someone take him to the conference room."

"it is good."

A few minutes later, watching the two people walking into the conference room together after greeting each other, Assistant Wang hid in the corner and secretly edited the information.

"Boss Xi, someone who wants to poach your employees just came to the company to look for Boss Qu and is now alone with Boss Qu in the conference room."
