My ex-boyfriend is looking forward to my bankruptcy

In the Yuanhang meeting room, Qu Tao gestured to Mu Jingyan for a seat, and after he sat down, he sat opposite him.

"Mr. Mu came here today, is there something you want to discuss?"

Mu Jingyan spoke in a distant, polite, and businesslike tone, holding the teacup in both hands, as if carefully considering his words. He did not take the last sip and put the teacup back on the table.

"Did you go to him and beg him the day I called? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

It was a very straightforward question. Qu Tao understood who the "he" he was referring to, and also understood the meaning of his words.

The words Xi Mozhou said before hanging up the phone really left people with endless imagination.

However, this seems to be his private matter.

Qu Tao looked at the wisps of white smoke rising above the teacup, thinking about how to respond to him tactfully.

Mu Jingyan stared at him and spoke again.

"Qu Tao, I know you're worried about Yuanhang's current situation, but there's no need to do anything that goes against your will."

Mu Jingyan took out a card, put it on the table and pushed it towards him.

"You can use the money in this card first. If it's not enough, tell me and I'll find a way."

After his sudden departure from the dinner table last time and his rejection last night, he thought that someone as smart as Mu Jingyan would have understood what he meant.

Qu Tao glanced at the card on the table and slowly raised his eyes towards him.

"What does Mr. Mu mean by something that goes against one's will?"

"That night you were with him..."

Mu Jingyan didn't finish his words, but his meaning was obvious. Qu Tao pushed the card on the table back.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Mu, but that night, I volunteered."

"Are you and him...really together?"

"Correct."

Originally, Mu Jingyan was hoping for a lucky break and was just testing the waters. But now that Qu Tao had confirmed it himself, his calm expression instantly cracked.

"Last time we met, I clearly told you I could help you. Why did you still commit yourself to him?"

There was undisguised anger in his rising tone, but Qu Tao put away the anger on his face and maintained a polite smile.

"I like."

In terms of feelings, Qu Tao doesn't like to drag things out, but Xi Mozhou is an exception.

His first kiss, his first time, was with that man.

When Mu Jingyan left, Qu Tao did not stand up to see him off. Since he had already said the decisive words, there was really no need to leave any hope for the other party.

"What did Mu Jingyan say to you?"

Xi Mozhou barged into the meeting room without even knocking. Qu Tao came to his senses and gave him a blank look.

"What are you here for?"

Xi Mozhou glanced at the untouched tea on the table, walked over, half-sat on the table beside him, and stared at him.

"You haven't answered me yet, what did he say to you?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Qu Tao stood up from the table and prepared to leave. Xi Mozhou grabbed his arm, brought him into his arms, and lifted his chin.

"answer me."

With burning eyes, Qu Tao stared back at him for a few seconds, then opened his hand that was resting on his chin.

"Then tell me first, how do you know he was here?"

"I just ran into him downstairs."

"Oh...so what are you doing here?"

"Take you to the flower shop, and then have dinner together."

Just a coincidence? Qu Tao didn't ask any more questions. Xi Mozhou raised his chin again and looked him in the eye.

"It's your turn now. Answer me, why did he come to see you?"

"It's none of your business."

"What do you say?"

Xi Mozhou leaned towards him, and the two of them were face to face, very close.

An oppressive atmosphere hit him in the face, and Qu Tao pushed him irritably.

"He's here to talk about investment, that's fine, right?"

"You agree?"

"No."

After Qu Tao answered, he sneered at him.

"I didn't accept the investment that was offered to me. As you wished, my company is about to go bankrupt. Is Mr. Xi very happy now?"

Hearing his answer, Xi Mozhou was indeed a little happy, but the corners of his lips just curled up for a few seconds, and then he pushed them back down after thinking of something.

"Stay away from him from now on and don't see him again."

"You live by the sea? Why are you so in charge?"

"Yes, you will come home with me tonight."

"No, if you have nothing else to do, please leave my company immediately."

Shen Yichen lived next door to him, so he wasn't worried about a fire in the backyard.

Qu Tao broke free from his arms and walked towards the door. Xi Mozhou caught up with him and followed him into the office.

"It's almost noon, let's eat first before we leave."

"Eat here? What? Eat air?"

After Qu Tao sat down at the desk, he looked at him unhappily. Xi Mozhou sat down on the sofa, crossing his legs in a relaxed manner.

"I've already called, and the maid will bring the food here."

Seeing that he couldn't be driven away, Qu Tao didn't try to drive him away, but he couldn't help but feel curious about his persistence.

Shen Yichen came back from abroad three years ago and now lives next door to him. Why is he still bothering him?

"Xi Mozhou, someone said my eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Teacher Shen's. What do you think?"

"It's very similar."

Xi Mozhou looked at his eyebrows and nodded.

This pair of eyebrows and eyes appeared in his dreams more than once. It was because the eyebrows and eyes of the two people were too similar that he recognized the wrong person and made a big mistake.

"After I left you yesterday, Teacher Shen didn't say anything to you?"

"No."

After Xi Mozhou answered, he changed his words.

"He hopes you can attend the housewarming party tomorrow."

Inviting your love rival to attend the housewarming party, how generous is that?

Doesn’t Shen Yichen know the relationship between him and Xi Mozhou?

"What about you, do you want me to go?"

"If you have time, it would be nice to go and have some fun."

Two lunatics, they didn't find it disgusting, but he did. Qu Tao refused it outright.

"Don't go."

Xi Mozhou picked up the fashion magazine from the bottom of the coffee table, not noticing the underlying anger in his words.

"what ever."

After dinner, Qu Tao saw that Xi Mozhou still had no intention of leaving, so he started to chase him away.

"Now that the meal is over, shouldn't Mr. Xi also leave?"

It’s so inconvenient that there is no compartment!

Xi Mozhou walked around the office and stopped in front of him.

"You come with me."

"where to?"

"Go to my company."

"Don't go."

Qu Tao refused directly without even asking the reason. Xi Mozhou leaned forward slightly with his hands on the armrests on both sides of his chair.

"You wanted to discuss yesterday's marriage proposal here?"

From the flower shop file bag, to Mu Jingyan's visit, and then to Xi Mozhou's later visit, unexpected emergencies happened frequently, and Qu Tao had long forgotten about it.

Now hearing Xi Mozhou bring up the matter again, and looking like he was unwilling to give up, Qu Tao rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"I've already deleted the marriage proposal, and I've apologized. Mr. Xi is still holding on to it. Aren't you being too petty?"

"Mr. Qu is right. I've always been petty and vindictive since I was little."

"Are you sick? Didn't you go get checked?"

Qu Tao pretended to be concerned, and Xi Mozhou stood up and pointed to the sofa in the office.

"Whether you are sick or not, Mr. Qu can give it a try."
