The old man snorted coldly: "You are really stubborn, girl. But the Mo family's decision will not be easily changed. If you refuse now, don't regret it in the future."

Jian Chu straightened his spine, his eyes not dodging: "I won't regret it. The wealth of the Mo family means far less to me than the relationship between me and Qi Baiyan and the company of my children."

At this time, the lawyer said anxiously: "Ms. Jian, please think about it carefully. The strength and resources of the Mo family are beyond your imagination. This may be a rare opportunity in your life."

Jian Chu glanced at the lawyer and said, "Opportunity? I would rather not have an opportunity that costs me the loss of myself."

The atmosphere of the video call became more and more solemn, and the old man's face became more and more gloomy. Jian Chu took a deep breath and said, "Old man, since we are not on the same page, let's end our conversation today. I hope the Mo family will not disturb my life again in the future."

After saying that, Jian Chu decisively hung up the video call. She leaned back in her chair and breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still in turmoil. She knew that rejecting the Mo family might bring some trouble, but she did not regret her choice.

Jian Chu started the car and prepared to go home.

On the way, she was full of thoughts. Thinking about the confrontation with Mr. Mo just now, she realized that she had completely drawn a line between herself and the Mo family. But at the same time, she also became more determined to protect her current life.

After returning home, Jian Chu still couldn't calm down. She sat on the sofa, thinking back to the conversation with the old man of the Mo family, with mixed feelings in her heart.

At this time, Qi Boyan called.

"Why didn't you call me? What did you do all day?" Qi Boyan's voice came from the phone. His gentle tone made all the haze in her heart dissipate.

She pursed her lips slightly and said softly, "I'm tired. The work is too tiring."

"So tired? Should I go find Rong Jin now and give him a direct order to give you a holiday, and then come to Nancheng to play for two days?" Qi Baiyan said very seriously.

Jian Chu was joking, of course, but he was no joke.

She quickly said, "Oh, no need."

She was just complaining casually.

She quickly changed the subject, fearing that Qi Boyan would immediately arrange for someone to send her there. After all, this person was not impossible to do.

As for the matter between her and the Mo family, she didn't mention a word about it. There was no need. She wanted to handle it herself, so she didn't want to tell Qi Baiyan and didn't want him to know now.

Qi Boyan smiled softly on the other end of the phone: "Really? Don't tire yourself out."

Jian Chu responded: "I know, how are you doing in South City?"

Qi Boyan replied: "Everything went well, I was just a little busy, and I missed you a lot."

Jian Chu raised the corner of his mouth: "Stop talking nonsense and work hard."

The two chatted about family matters for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Jian Chu leaned back on the sofa, his thoughts drifting back to the Mo family's affairs.

She knew that rejecting the conditions of the old man of the Mo family might bring her some unknown troubles, but she did not regret it.

She didn't want to give up her current happiness because of the Mo family's wealth and power.

Jian Chu stopped thinking about it and continued doing his own thing, as if the negotiation with the Mo family had never happened.

But is this matter really over?
The next day, Jian Chu went to the project team.

When she drove to the door, she saw Xing Huan standing there and waving at her. She stopped the car, lowered the window, looked at Xing Huan and asked, "Why are you standing here?"

"My aunt wants to talk to you." Xing Huan pointed to her car.

They stopped by the roadside. Jian Chu had no objection and just nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Jian Chu drove into the project team, parked the car, and then walked to Xing Huan's car. She opened the back door and sat in, looking at Xing Huan's aunt: "What do you want to say?"

When Aunt Xing Huan saw her, she hurriedly said, "Xiao Chu, there is movement from the Mo family again."

Jian Chu was stunned: "What's going on?"

My aunt looked hesitant: "I don't know the details, but I heard that the old man of the Mo family is very dissatisfied with your refusal and may take some measures."

Jian Chu frowned: "Let them do whatever they want, I'm not afraid."

Aunt sighed: "Xiaochu, you'd better be careful. The Mo family has many tricks. I'm worried that your attitude will anger the old man..."

Jian Chu interrupted her: "It's okay, just come on."

Jian Chu smiled faintly. If someone wanted to do something, there was no way to stop them.

Jian Chu stopped thinking about this matter for the whole day. What was going to happen couldn't be stopped anyway, so he just let it go and lived up to himself.

As for the Mo family, she certainly had no intention of recognizing them, but she also didn't want to just test them. This was probably God's will.

In the evening, Qi Boyan's plane returned to North City.

She drove to pick him up.

On the way back, Yao Cen was driving the car and she sat in the back seat with Qi Boyan. She leaned on Qi Boyan's shoulder and listened to him quietly.

She would feel especially at ease when she was with him.

He asked, "Didn't anything happen during the two days I was away from North City?"

Jian Chu was stunned for a moment, but still pretended to be calm and said: "Of course, but Chu Muhe called me and asked me if I wanted to cooperate with him to deal with you. He also asked me to find Wu Daguang. I think he is really crazy."

Qi Boyan smiled and said calmly, "He may really be crazy. I also discussed Shule's matter with the Gu family when I went to South City this time. Shule not only found someone to cooperate with North City, but also arranged for his people in South City to go there. He wants to cast a wide net to catch fish, and he will probably close the net together, so the next few months may not be very peaceful."

"Is it that serious?" Jian Chu also sat up straight immediately, frowning, "Shuer did a lot of illegal things in his overseas company. He was involved in a lot of shady things. If he is like this in both North City and South City, then he can't escape."

"Of course, if he wants to harm us, we have to see if he has the ability to do so. Can't we defeat him with so many of us?" Qi Baiyan snorted and said lightly.

Jian Chu was still a little worried: "If Chu Muhe cooperates with him, he will inevitably deal with us, so you still have to be careful."

"Yeah, I know." Qi Boyan gently held her hand.

In the following period of time, everyone was indeed very busy.

Sometimes we don’t even have time to have dinner together, but such fulfilling time also has its benefits, at least it is rewarding.

On this day, Jian Chu was busy with project matters.

Jian Shuya suddenly called her.

Jian Shuya looked a little anxious: "Xiaochu, the prison called me and said we can visit him. Dad wants us to go see him together. Are you willing?"

After hearing this, Jian Chu immediately remembered that he had visited Jian's father in prison before, and then he asked Jian's father about the Xing family, which later involved the Mo family.

But Jian Chu was always busy, so he forgot about his father in prison.

Although the relationship between the two has been completely exposed, since he took the initiative to ask for a meeting, he must have something to say. (End of this chapter)
