C174 Who Are You Calling
Xiao Qinghan, who was full of dissatisfaction, had a terrifyingly dark expression on his face. The atmosphere of breakfast was cold and oppressive, and no one expected him to come back in the middle of the night.
Ling Muxue was originally going to send Ling Yiyue off today, but in the end, it was still Xiao Qinghan who sent Ling Yiyue to the city.
Originally, Ling Yiyue was going to ride in the same car as Xiao Qinghan, but Xiao Qinghan's cold and bone-piercing gaze scared Ling Yiyue so much that she did not dare to go forward.
Just as the convoy was about to leave, Ling Muxue thought of the necklace and quickly turned around to knock on the window on Xiao Qinghan's side.
The window slowly rolled down.
"I didn't bring back something important. I want to bring it back to the manor today!"
Xiao Qinghan raised his eyes and slightly lowered them. His eyes were cold as he asked, "An important item?"
Ling Muxue seemed to realize that the necklace was not something important, but it was too expensive. She found that it was even more important not to let Xiao Qinghan know that she had accepted such an expensive necklace from a man.
When he thought about how she was just getting along with Ye Yiheng, not only did he fly into a rage at him, but he also persecuted Ye Yiheng's company.
And that purple-and-gold hexagram pendant was valued at least billions. If Xiao Qinghan found out about it, no one knew what kind of terrible thing he would do.
"It's not anything important. I just want to bring it back and return it to Xiao-Xiao."
Xiao Qinghan didn't say anything else and left a few bodyguard cars.
Before he left, Xiao Qinghan said, "Tomorrow is Rorai's birthday part, I will send someone to send you there."
Ling Muxue was startled and then remembered that Rorai had previously given her a birthday invitation, but she did not intend to go. Even if she had a deep relationship with Xiao Qinghan, to her, although she could not explain the reason, she was very unhappy with Rorai. She hated being with her, a kind of disgust that came from the depths of her heart.
Perhaps as long as she was still with Xiao Qinghan, it seemed like she really would have to meet Rorai, but why didn't he go to her birthday part instead of her?
Suddenly, she remembered that Rorai had said before that Xiao Qinghan hated participating in birthday parts. Why was that?
After a simple tidying up, Ling Muxue was escorted by her bodyguards to the manor and entered the extremely luxurious palace-style bedroom. She had only been gone for a day, but it felt as if she had been gone for half a century.
She walked to the dressing table, pulled open the drawer and looked at the exquisite gift boxes that were placed side by side. Ling Muxue reached out and put the box containing the hexagonal purple-gold pendant into her bag. Then, she reached out and picked up the box beside her. She opened the box and picked up the purple gem necklace that was placed inside.
The purple light reflected in her glassy eyes reflected thoughts that were difficult to put into words. From what she knew about jewelry, this necklace was probably even more expensive than the purple-and-gold hexagon pendant.
She didn't know that Xiao Qinghan could be so generous. Could it be that he had been the same to other women in the past and she was just one of them?
Perhaps! At that time, he had bought the Charming Jewelry Group for Yue Liuli. She had seen how much he loved her back then. He looked at her with the same gentle gaze. At that time, she only felt a wave of disgust when she looked at him. The irony was that she was now immersed in the eyes that she used to dislike.
Maybe there was something left of her feelings for him, but somehow it hurt to think about it.
But Ling Muxue, be clear-headed, don't be affected by him. If you sink deeper, you will be the only one suffering. For someone like him, who has an unpredictable temperament, you can only be as calm as water.
She restrained her emotions and put the necklace in the box. Then, she turned around and left the bedroom.
After returning to her villa in the Western suburbs, Ling Muxue dialed Mo Weilian's number. After two beeps, a clear voice sounded, "Miss Ling, what business do you have with me?"
"I wonder if Mr Mo will be free tomorrow. Can we meet?" She didn't say directly that she wanted to give it back to him, because Mo Weilian gave her the feeling that he was a gentle gentleman, and his eyes told her that he was a very persistent person and that he told her about her girlfriend and somehow she did not reject him at all.
If he had said he would return the necklace, he might have refused on the spot, and he wouldn't have known what to say about an appointment.
Mo Weilian paused for a moment, listening to the voice as if he was reading some kind of information, and then said, "Tomorrow, the company will have an important project that I am afraid I don't have time. At night, I will be attending a banquet at Noble International Club, so I won't have time to meet Miss Ling tomorrow. I'm really sorry, Miss Ling." Mo Weilian smiled apologetically.
"It's alright! If it's not convenient for Mr Mo to meet me another day, then let's meet up!" After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, "Mr Mo will go to Noble International Clubhouse tomorrow?" As she spoke, Ling Muxue walked to the bedside table and opened it. On the top was the birthday invitation that Rorai had given her. When she brought it back, she also took a look at it. The address seemed to be Noble International Clubhouse.
"Yes! Yes, what's wrong?"
Ling Muxue opened the invitation card and the address printed on it was Noble International Clubhouse.
Mo Weilian had just said that he would be attending the banquet. Could it be that it was part of Rorai's birthday? He knew Rorai, "I wonder if Mr Mo knows Rorai Davis."
The other party seemed to be very surprised. "She is an important partner of our company, so we have a few conversations. It just so happens that tomorrow's project is also working with Miss Rorai, so attending her birthday party tomorrow can also be considered a favor. Could it be that Miss Ling knows Miss Rorai?"
Ling Muxue nodded softly.
It could be seen that Rorai was not as simple as an ordinary socialite, and since Mo Weilian was able to buy the necklace at such a high price, his status was naturally not ordinary. There was nothing strange about the cooperation between the big companies.
Although she didn't want to attend Rorai's birthday party, Xiao Qinghan had already said that he would send her there tomorrow, so it seemed like she still had to go and give the necklace back to Mo Weilian.
By the afternoon, when the sky was drizzling, Ling Yiyue called him.
"Sister, today's training is over." Ling Yiyue said softly.
Ling Muxue raised her head and looked at the sky outside her window. She thought that Ling Yiyue did not bring an umbrella with her, so she subconsciously wanted Xiao Qinghan to pick Ling Yiyue up and bring her home. However, this thought was stopped. Why did she think that Xiao Qinghan would come tonight?
"Yes! I'll come and pick you up now. Yiyue, wait for me!" As he spoke, he hung up the phone.
Ling Yiyue's anxious voice came out, "Sister! That ..."
"Hmm? What's wrong, Yiyue?"
Ling Yiyue was stuttering, as if it was difficult for her to speak. "Sister, sister ..." Before she could finish, she heard a masculine voice coming from the door of the room. "Who are you calling?" His tone sounded displeased.
