billionaire ex-wife

Chapter 55

"Why am I late?"

Du Xiaowei was puzzled, but still asked curiously. After learning about Xiao Jue's behavior of buying people's hearts, he also began to weigh in his heart, and suddenly became more sober.

"Mr. Du, you really have a leisurely mood. I think you'd better save this kind of romance and defeat me before you come again. That way you will have a more sense of accomplishment!"

Xiao Jue saw the change in Du Xiaowei's face, hurried over to Han Xiaozhou and patted him on the shoulder before he could react, and whispered a small smile in his ear. He was very clear about his worries, but he It can be completely guessed that his leisurely manner is simply an act of faking.

Du Xiaowei was about to say something when his cell phone rang suddenly. It was the special assistant who just secretly pressed the call button by Xiao Jue, saying that he had found all the reports he wanted, and asked him if he needed to send them over now. It was only then that he suddenly remembered his order before eating, saying that he had to do it as soon as possible, but he didn't expect the special assistant's work efficiency to be so high. Ironically, he also felt that at this time, it seemed that he had lost his priority in competing for Han Xiaozhou's superiority.

"Xiao Zhou, I left beforehand. Since you have a party, I won't make things difficult for you. Call me after you're done, okay?"

Du Xiaowei found a way for himself. He actually knew that Han Xiaozhou would not necessarily agree to him. In order to avoid embarrassment, he decided not to embarrass her. He already had a little understanding of her personality. If it was too much, it would be detrimental indeed. .

After hearing what Du Xiaowei said, Han Xiaozhou didn't say anything else. She was still hesitating about whether to go tomorrow. As for the date with him, she definitely wouldn't go. Looking at this bouquet of flowers, she suddenly felt Impatient to be caught between them like this, I was a little moved by my brother's suggestion last night whether I should resign or not.

"What are you doing?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this decision was correct. Han Xiaozhou quickly wrote his resignation letter and walked to Xiao Jue's office.

"You don't know how to read?"

Han Xiaozhou's tone was not very friendly. After his brother brought Ke Ke home yesterday, he discussed this issue with her very carefully, but she was still a little uncertain.

She knew that what happened to Li Shengtian made her brother feel worried about staying here again. He asked his mother's opinion, and said that as long as Li Shengtian woke up, she would be at ease, and her brother planned to go back to City C, so it would not work if he always left work like this , Coco needs someone to take care of her when she comes to confinement at home. My brother means that she wants her to resign and stay at home. When Coco is full moon, I will go back together. Then I will start a company by myself. Anyway, Leng Tong is planning to stay here. They can form a group After building an iron triangle, Ke Ke's expression is still very excited. She has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

My brother said that during this period of time, she could spare time to investigate the market and prepare for starting a company. In her words, she also looked forward to the day when she would shine brightly. She was actually somewhat moved by this point. She knew that her seemingly good salary could not cope with some emergencies. Take this villa that her brother invested for her as an example, couldn't she just rely on her own strength to afford it?

Of course she didn't know that this was Qi Ziyang's plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain. He was still worried that his sister would know his reaction to Xiao Jue after the war, and it would be beneficial for him to keep her busy with other things. Besides, he really believed that his sister's current working ability It's enough to be her own boss. In this kind of drama where three men compete, my sister must be in a bad mood, but it's better to stay at home and be quiet.

Han Xiaozhou understands all his painstaking efforts. In this day when the two of them are fighting for each other, and Leng Haotian who wants to call her from time to time when he thinks of the business war caused by him, makes him She felt that she had lost her original enthusiasm for work in the Du family. Today, knowing the merger of the Xiao family and the Du family, she felt a little relieved for the business war she was busy with. To be honest, This is not a situation she would like to see.

"Are you afraid?"

When Xiao Jue saw the content clearly, he immediately understood her impatience. He knew her quiet personality well. She handed over her resignation letter as soon as she came, which made him very unhappy.

Does she just dislike herself so much?

He suddenly felt that this was a kind of evasion from her, and after thinking about it, it still disturbed her heart. It's better to have a reaction than no reaction, so he asked a provocative question tentatively.

"Why should I be afraid? I'm just bored and want to change my working environment. Besides, do you think you have that much influence? Don't put gold on your face. Even if Du Xiaowei didn't leave, I would hand in my resignation letter." of."

Han Xiaozhou refuted him very speechlessly, and she was a little annoyed that he was always able to see through her true emotions, from the sentence "You will sign!" at the time of divorce to the current sentence "Are you afraid?" They all really touched her sore spots. Although this was not scary, it could indeed be called an ostrich-like evasion behavior. She felt that in her heart, she had a little more impulse towards this man, who did not want to go deeper.

"Well, I agree, but it will take half a month for the resignation to take effect, don't you know?"

Seeing her say this, Xiao Jue felt a lot of balance in his heart. He had just learned about Du's personnel process. The term.

He has his own plans in his heart, and half a month is the day when he and Du Xiaowei will win, no matter whether they win or lose, there is no relationship between her and Du Xiaowei, which is something he is happy to see, of course So she was happy to do this handy favor, but his plan had to be adjusted a little bit. Her next step should be to go back to City C, right?
Han Xiaozhou didn't expect him to agree so simply, he glanced at him suspiciously and then nodded. Ke Ke had resigned and stayed there for half a month, of course she knew about this, but a vague uneasiness suddenly arose in her heart , I always feel that he has another conspiracy.

But it was only a second, she quickly calmed down her emotions, and was about to go out calmly, but was stopped by Xiao Jue's "Will you participate tomorrow?", thought for a while, and clicked head.

"Honey, fly slowly, be careful of the roses with thorns ahead..."

On the night of the second day, the clouds were thin and the moon was bright, and the cool moonlight poured out the moving time of the water. The seventh floor of the "Huayue Hotel" in City A, which has the most high-end dining and entertainment, has booked the entire After Xiao Juezhi from Baoting Hall gave the opening remarks, Du's public couple couldn't wait to cuddle up and sing "Two Butterflies" in a chorus. They looked at each other and exchanged love without any shyness. The group was excited for a while, and everyone's emotions were relatively high. soaring.

This time Xiao Jue adopted the completely freestyle method that everyone is familiar with and quite fond of. There is everything you can eat and drink in the private hall. After karaoke, there is dancing. Anyway, everyone can do whatever they like, and most of them are young people. , the atmosphere was heated up immediately.

"Everyone, I have a suggestion, how about we ask Mr. Xiao to play a song for everyone?"

When the madness was in full swing, the male colleague who took the lead in making fun of Han Xiaozhou at noon yesterday was a little excited because he drank a few more glasses. All the employees screamed in agreement, and looked at Xiao Jue who had been sitting there just drinking with expectant eyes.

In fact, this is more or less a bit of the climbing mentality of the employees. It is good to come out together, but after all, Xiao Jue is new here, and there is still a sense of strangeness. Seeing him at this time is just watching, and I feel that letting him integrate into this circle is more exciting. Thoughts of dedication are circling in everyone's minds. The boss can't pay so much money for treats. They are employees, so they can enjoy themselves as if they don't have a boss, right?
Therefore, when someone takes the lead, they also look forward to this act of getting closer. In their hearts, Du Xiaowei, the boss, is usually not too serious, and the working atmosphere is still very comfortable. Their long-standing habits make them look forward to this. The way of getting along can continue.

In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Xiao Jue's illusory face under the hazy light still showed a slight bit of embarrassment, and he hesitated for a while.

To be honest, he doesn't like these by nature, and he didn't seem to have such a thing as karaoke in his only youth. There was almost nothing else, but when his eyes touched Han Xiaozhou who had been sitting on the sofa in another corner with Leng Tong, there was still a sense of pride in his heart that he did not want to retreat.

"Well, I'm not very good at singing, please bear with me."

Xiao Jue cast a half-hearted smile at Han Xiaozhou from a distance, got up and walked to the huge TV screen embedded in the wall, holding the microphone, he calmly gave a big hand to the enthusiastic employee in charge of ordering songs. He didn't want to look at the titles of songs that dazzled his eyes and knew nothing about them, and announced the only familiar song "Mother in Candlelight" in his memory.

When all the employees heard it, they sighed and then covered their mouths suddenly, waiting quietly with uncomfortable expressions on their faces. Only the sparse applause clearly expressed their inner surprise, but Xiao Jue obviously didn't He didn't care, just turned his back silently, looking at the screen that was about to play the melody.

Han Xiaozhou was also struck by the title of Xiao Jue's song, but he felt a little familiar. It seemed that he was like the impression he had in this way. If he really came to a popular online song, he might really know it. I thought it was going to rain red.

In her meditation, Xiao Jue had already started to sing, and the low and sad tone almost made everyone feel a kind of spiritual shock at the first sound. I feel that there is some redundant family affection in my mind, and I can't help but linger in their hearts.

"Mom, I want to tell you... Oh, mother, mother in the candlelight, why your eyes have lost their brilliance, mother, my son has grown up..."

As the melody became more and more passionate, Xiao Jue, who was a little embarrassed at the beginning, has completely integrated into the missing of his mother. He recalled his gentle mother sitting in front of the piano, and she played the only songs he sang. This is the only song he sang the best that his mother never tires of listening to. Moreover, the phrase "daughter" has always been sung as a "son" according to his mother's request. Today he is almost completely conscious The lyrics were tampered with, but it sounds so natural. All employees have been infected by the strong feelings for his mother in Xiao Jue's heart. Several female employees who are easily moved even have a faint look in their eyes. tears.

Still sitting at the same place, Han Xiaozhou, who was tasting the orange juice, was also touched by Xiao Jue's emotional side, which he seldom saw. , In his heart, there should be a sad past about his mother, right?
She suddenly remembered the short marriage she had with him because of her mother, so why did he marry herself?

Han Xiaozhou couldn't control her daydream more and more. During the singing, her thoughts suddenly returned to the commotion of this morning.

As soon as she arrived on her floor, she smelled a strong fragrance of flowers, and the roses that were continuously moved to her office almost left her with no place to put her feet, and the eyes of all colleagues were full of ambiguity and envy when they looked at her , when she was confused, a receipt from the flower delivery boy still made her eyes widen, it turned out to be 99 roses.

At the end, a card inserted on the flower had a line of words written in a very flamboyant manner, "I will treat you ten times, twenty times, ... a hundred times better than him, until I can hear you say forgive me." one day!"

The final signature was "Xiao Jue". In fact, she could have guessed it even if he didn't say it, but his behavior still made her dizzy for a moment. What is he doing?Fighting with Du Xiaowei, or really caring about her?

Du Xiaowei sent 99 flowers yesterday, today he gave 99 flowers, ten times?Is he showing his determination with flowers?
At that moment, there was a momentary turmoil in her inner emotions. After seeing the instigator who was staring at her from the corner of her eyes, she almost quickly avoided his gaze. After a few minutes of thinking, she summoned It was a free Qixi Festival gift shared by everyone, and after Xiao Jue saw her behavior, he didn't object aloud, he just turned and went into his office.

In the end, the flowers were taken away by everyone, but the person was laughed at by colleagues all day long, and the video that someone uploaded so enthusiastically on the Internet made her really not want to come to the party tonight, but thinking of I had already promised yesterday, I didn't want him to see that my flustered state of mind made her fight back, but I just sat far away from Xiao Jue, fortunately he didn't come to pester her, just looked at her silently like that, let Leng Tong, who never showed his expression easily, couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Now, in his sad singing, she could not help but resonate a little bit, and the dusty past that her mother carried around in the employment agency behind her back also appeared in her mind. She didn't wake up suddenly until the singing stopped.

Looking up, Xiao Jue's body was still standing there with nostalgia at the end of the song, his back seemed silent and a bit bleak, as if the sadness in his heart was still lingering in his heart, suddenly a burst of violent applause broke the This rare stagnation, everyone applauded Xiao Jue and brought everything back to the original state.

Han Xiaozhou could see clearly that Xiao Jue, who had turned around, had calmed down all his emotions, and he smiled and signaled to everyone. The atmosphere reached a climax, but it was obvious that his colleagues didn't want to be entangled in karaoke anymore. Well, probably this kind of heavy depression still had a slight influence on their hearts. The employee who took the lead in singing, called Xiao Jue, even yelled that he could dance. Another release is in progress.

Xiao Jue also strode towards Han Xiaozhou, bent down and held out his hand to her, "Let's do a dance."

He has endured it for a long time. The flower sending event this morning did not surprise him. If she accepted it, it would be beyond his expectation. Moreover, he has already sent a surprise to her home. He is not worried about his flowers. It's not useful, but I'm a little disappointed that she didn't go home to pick up Xiaoyu after get off work today. I haven't seen that kid properly for a few days, and it sounds like I miss him.

Knowing that she will inevitably have psychological shocks, so at first he just sat and looked at her. While drinking and thinking about drifting thoughts, he suddenly discovered one thing, even if he just looked at her quietly like this, his heart would Inexplicably, there was a kind of happy mood, just like this kind of atmosphere where there was almost no participation, it also made him experience a rare relaxation, and the exhaustion of living in calculations and struggles all day disappeared instantly. few.

Walking out of his mother's shadow, he could no longer control the urge to get close to her. This marriage was initiated at the beginning to avenge his mother, and was once ruined by his own mistakes. Today, his mother gave him again Strength strengthened his determination to get back together.

Not allowing her rejection, Xiao Jue took her hand forcefully and stepped onto the dance floor. He had already seen her dance with Du Xiaowei. She has too much time to choose, this woman is too stubborn, she doesn't say anything on the surface, but she is very persistent in her heart, if she just let her say "no" and leave obediently, it is not like his Xiao Jue style.

"I can't dance well, don't you know?"

Han Xiaozhou knew that she couldn't earn his strength, so she still resented his behavior. Looking at the eyes around them, she suddenly felt revenge, and she would always be provoked in front of him. The injustice made her feel bad for the first time, so she asked with a half-smile.

"It's okay, I don't know how to dance."

What Xiao Jue said was the truth, his level can only be said to be barely able to dance, this is because he learned a thing or two under Mo Han's guidance for entertainment, usually he does not easily ask people to dance, but today, obviously is an exception.

In the following time, Xiao Jue finally realized the deep meaning of the little woman's smile in his arms. He felt his feet being stepped on again and again. Although she was still wearing flat shoes because she didn't go home to change her clothes, Under that deliberate force, Xiao never had to lower his head to know that his vamp was already very ugly.

He smiled indifferently, with a very happy smile on the corner of his mouth, his breath was mixed with the smell of alcohol, but it was always under his strong control, never leaving Han Xiaozhou's ear, and his body spun along with him Han Xiaozhou unavoidably felt dizzy for a while, and the skin where his big hands held his body was very hot.

While Xiao Jue and Han Xiaozhou were embracing and dancing, Du Xiaowei was drinking coffee in a coffee shop across the street from "Hua Yue". Opposite him was sitting Leng Haotian who also didn't have an appointment with Han Xiaozhou.

"Senior Leng, do you really not consider stopping Xiao Shi?"

Du Xiaowei picked up his glass and took a sip. He was very annoyed that his proposal was rejected. Li Shengtian was unconscious. Finally, Leng Haotian raised his eyebrows, obviously not agreeing.

"Why should I stop? Du Shi and Xiao Shi's reconciliation doesn't mean you and Xiao Jue's reconciliation. If I let go, won't you be fulfilled?"

Leng Haotian laughed arrogantly. He is very satisfied with his sense of accomplishment these days. Li Shi blocked the risk for him in the front. He is expanding Leng's performance with zero loss, which is very important for strengthening his own strength. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could he miss it?
Besides, he still has opponents after Xiao Jue stepped down, and now it is not the time when he is completely desperate, Han Xiaozhou has no intention of being with any of them, he thinks that between him and Du Xiaowei is an equal opportunity If he wins the competition, the Xiao family will recover soon, isn't it to build a strong enemy for himself?
Besides, many companies have been involved in it now, and it is a great opportunity for the Xiao family to be in charge of the vice president for a while. In everyone's eyes, Du Xiaowei is probably still naively imagining that as long as he stops, only the Li family will be left as an enemy right?
Leng Haotian glanced at Du Xiaowei with a sneer. He has been abroad all these years, and he may have some advantages over Han Xiaozhou, but he is inexperienced in the business district of City A. To settle the Li family, the influence of this group can really play a key role.

Leng Haotian left, and Du Xiaowei, who was still sitting there, felt too much heaviness and uncertainty in his heart. Grandpa said that he only needs to be responsible for the Leng family. How can he convince Li family?
Frustrated by the failure of persuading Leng Haotian, he felt uneasy about the half-month deadline. Could it be that Xiao Jue set up a trap in the end?He didn't want to see the day when he was completely defeated because of this.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning around and walking towards the "Hua Yue Hotel". He decided to also attend Du's party. He was the former boss anyway, so Xiao Jue wouldn't let him in, right?

In this cold night, Mother Han, who was still guarding in the hospital, was startled by a sudden figure, but when she saw the person coming, she got up unconsciously, Make room for her at the head of the bed.

"Go away, I don't need you to be hypocritical here. Today, my mother should accompany him, do you know? My mother has suffered all her life for you, and you still want to occupy my father's Heart, let her suffer alone in heaven?"

Li Lina, who came in the door, was cold, and chased after Han's mother with abusive words, her words seemed to be aggrieved for her mother, and she also seemed to defend herself. There is a hint of viciousness.

She came here on purpose today, Xiao Zhenshan said that she wanted her to send this woman away, so that they could do it tonight, she hesitated for a long time about ending her father's life in exchange for the right of inheritance, but she made up her mind in that strong hatred .

She could no longer tolerate it. Du's employees who had good things on the Internet posted a video of Xiao Jue giving Han Xiaozhou nine hundred and ninety-nine roses early in the morning. She saw it by accident, but was so stimulated by that scene that she lost her mind .

The bet between Xiao Jue and Du Xiaowei, now only Li Shi can help him, Xiao Zhenshan has already promised Xiao Feng that he will marry her in the future, she feels that this choice is also a wise move for herself.

Even if Dad wakes up, if he knows that he was also involved in the man-made car crash, he will definitely not forgive himself. Instead of making him more partial to Han Xiaozhou's mother and daughter in a fit of anger or change the inheritance right, she might as well Think for yourself first.

Han Zhihui nodded cooperatively. She had already heard Li Shengtian talk about her mother's death. She understood the feeling of struggling between love and hate, but her mother was too persistent to cross the threshold. What she couldn't stop, the child seemed as stubborn as her mother, and she knew it from the persistent hostility she felt towards herself and her daughter.

She stretched her tired body and walked out automatically. She guarded him now only because of the little guilt in her heart, saying that love is not a very correct expression, but since his daughter objected so much, she didn't insist anymore necessary.

"I'll take you back."

In the corridor, a very enthusiastic young man came over. Han Zhihui knew very well that this was sent by Xiao Jue. Since the accident that night, she had seen several figures dangling beside her in the hospital. Knowing that someone deliberately wanted to harm her daughter, she felt somewhat grateful for Xiao Jue's kindness.

Li Lina in the ward pressed a button nervously. After a while, several figures in white coats came from the other side of the corridor. There were doctors and nurses, but they were all wearing masks. The moment they entered the door, Li Lina I felt my heartbeat became extraordinarily fast, and I was a little flustered waiting for what was about to happen.

"What are you doing?"

However, the door of the ward was pushed open abruptly. Xiao Jue's subordinates, who realized the old man's purpose and kept someone here to guard him, noticed something was wrong from the doctors and nurses who only showed their eyes. broke in.

Suddenly, there was chaos in the ward, and Mother Han, who walked out of the hospital, also fell into a sudden danger.

When Du Xiaowei walked to Xiao Jue's private room, Xiao Jue pulled Han Xiaozhou out of the door quickly. Han Xiaozhou's face obviously had uncontrollable panic, but Xiao Jue's expression became a little more dignified, and Leng Tong naturally After that, Du Xiaowei wanted to speak out, but everyone seemed to ignore him, and left as quickly as if he was air.

Du Xiaowei was stunned on the spot, he felt extremely jealous at the scene of why Han Xiaozhou let Xiao Jue hold her hand like that, he faintly felt that her heart was getting farther and farther away from him.

When he woke up from his jealousy and wanted to chase after Han Xiaozhou who obviously had something wrong, he found that they were nowhere to be seen.
