Chapter 174: The Mystery of the Drinking Party
When I arrived at the company in the morning, Mo Chen hadn't come yet.
I called Mo Chen, the phone rang for a long time and then was connected.
"What's wrong with you!"
No one spoke.
"Speak up!" I was already annoyed.
"He's taking a shower."
I listened to Xia Xiluo's calm voice, which was like a thunderbolt.
"Where are you?"
"my home."
I hung up the phone.
I closed my eyes and calmed my breathing. I had to trust Mo Chen and not be influenced by him. Xia Xiluo did it on purpose!
"Rongyue, what are you doing? Are you standing there with your eyes closed and resting?" Sister Xinlan pushed the door open and came in.
"You came early today." Sister Xin Lan sat down and looked at me.
I sat down and continued to calm down.
"What's wrong with you? Are you angry? Where's Mo Chen? I haven't seen him this early in the morning?"
"Yeah, I'm taking a shower at Xia Xiluo's house!"
"What?" Sister Xinlan looked at me calmly.
"Did I hear you right? Where is Mo Chen? What is he doing?"
"Xia Xiluo's house, taking a shower." Ridiculous! I couldn't help but want to laugh.
Take a deep breath.
moment.
"Oh, it's nothing. The three of them grew up together. It's normal for anyone to go to whose house. Xia Xiluo even lived in Gong Yi's house when she was little! It's normal! It's all normal."
I looked at Sister Xinlan.
Sister Xinlan smiled awkwardly.
The expression is not concealed well enough, it is clearly abnormal!
"There's another meeting later! It's very important! Wait until after the meeting before getting angry with Mo Chen, otherwise Mo Chen will be affected by you. Don't delay work! Got you understand?" Sister Xinlan looked at me seriously.
I sighed and nodded.
meeting room.
The meeting had been going on for 10 minutes and everyone was quiet, not talking, waiting.
I stared at the clock on the computer in silence, watching the seconds pass by.
Fourteen minutes later, the door to the conference room opened.
What a lucky number, 14, damn!
Mo Chen and Xia Xiluo walked in one after another.
I glanced at Mo Chen, and Mo Chen was looking at me.
"Boss Gong, Boss Xia."
Everyone stood up and greeted Mo Chen and Xia Xiluo.
I just couldn't be respectful to them so I didn't move.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gong and I had something to do. We're late and have wasted everyone's time." Xia Xiluo said.
"fine!"
Everyone responded in unison.
I looked at Xia Xiluo, and she looked at me, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was showing off her victory to me.
I lowered my eyes and continued to look at the computer, opening the document and taking minutes of the meeting.
Mo Chen and Xia Xiluo sat down.
The meeting begins.
Until the end of the meeting, I didn't look at Mo Chen and Xia Xiluo again, because I was afraid that I would not be able to control my temper, so it was best not to look at them.
Fortunately, writing down the texts is enough to keep me busy.
I closed my computer, stood up and walked out of the meeting room.
Just as I was about to enter my office, Mo Chen stopped me at the door. He took me into his lounge and the door was closed.
I looked up at Mo Chen.
"Are you angry?" Mo Chen lowered his eyes and looked at me.
"Otherwise? Should I feel relieved? Someone can help me solve my problems? I can let you stay out all night and help you bathe and change clothes. Can I finally rest? Have a good sleep?"
Mo Chen chuckled and said, "I didn't realize before, my wife is really jealous!"
"Then you should feel lucky."
"Yes! You are right! My wife cares about me so much, I am so happy!" Mo Chen hugged me in his arms.
I pushed him away angrily, walked to the sofa and sat down.
I looked at Mo Chen and asked, "Explain."
Don't think that you can settle things with a few sweet words.
Mo Chen walked over and sat down next to me. He leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, frowned, and looked very tired.
I looked at him quietly.
After a moment, Mo Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at me.
"Do you remember the dinner that day? I was in a hurry to come back and left Xiluo alone..."
I nodded, Sister Xinlan said so.
Mo Chen frowned. "The people Xiluo will entertain later, with her ability, I think this won't be difficult for her."
I nodded again. It was indeed a small matter for her.
"I was too careless. I shouldn't have left her alone. Something bad happened that night. I only found out about it last night. It hurt Xiluo quite a lot."
"what's up."
"That night, someone at the party had sex with Xiluo. She refused to tell me who it was when asked. She just said she was drunk and forgot."
I was a little stunned by the news.
"I know she didn't want to affect the project. But I do blame myself. I shouldn't have rushed back that night to keep her." Mo Chen lowered his eyes with guilt in his eyes.
I touched Mo Chen's face and said, "What should we do now?"
Mo Chen looked up at me and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Last night, Xiluo's assistant called me using Xiluo's phone and said that she was drunk. When I arrived, Xiluo was already drunk and unconscious."
"I asked her assistant and found out what happened that night. I sent her home and she vomited all over me. When she was sober and asked me about it again, she wouldn't say anything."
"I had a meeting in the morning, so I sent someone to deliver the clothes."
"That was what happened last night."
After listening to what Mo Chen said, I was no longer angry.
"So...what are you going to do about this?"
This situation is too tricky.
"Let's find out who that person is first, and then we can talk about it. We can't just let this matter go. You can't let me off like this." Mo Chen's eyes became cold, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
I thought about the titles and status of the people that night, none of them were easy to mess with. They were all masters of the situation.
I sigh.
"Are you not angry anymore?" Mo Chen rubbed my head and looked at me with a smile.
I looked at Mo Chen and nodded.
"Then let me hold you and sleep for a while. I'm so tired."
Mo Chen held me in his arms, resting his head on mine, and soon he fell asleep with steady breathing.
… …
"Mo Chen and Xia Xiluo, what's wrong with them? Are they arguing?" Sister Xin Lan looked in the direction of Mo Chen.
"Well, maybe." I looked at Mo Chen and Xia Xiluo.
We couldn't hear what the two people were saying, but they both had serious expressions.
Therefore, during this period of time, the atmosphere in the conference room was at its lowest. Everyone was so overwhelmed by their aura that they could hardly breathe and were very cautious.
Actually, these are not so bad. The quarrel between the two of them during the day does not affect me. Besides, Li Xin can mediate and keep both of them calm and rational.
But the night time is what gives me the most headaches.
Mo Chen would be called away by a phone call from time to time.
I understand his guilt and self-blame, but her behavior did make me feel uncomfortable.
So, when Mo Chen was about to leave again, I decided to go with him.
In the early morning, the two of us came to a bar. The street was brightly lit, but not as lively as the bar.
Mo Chen and I approached Xia Xiluo. Wei Liling was standing there waving at us. She was obviously surprised to see me.
Li Xin was patting Xia Xiluo's back, while Xia Xiluo was leaning on the table with his head down and vomiting.
"Mr. Gong!" Wei Liling looked at Mo Chen, then she looked at me.
I looked at her and smiled faintly.
Wei Liling nodded and went to take care of Xia Xiluo.
Li Xin looked up and frowned at Mo Chen. He was also a little surprised when he saw me.
I smiled at him.
Li Xin also smiled, but it seemed very forced.
"Mr. Xia, Mr. Gong is here! Please stop drinking! Let's go home!" Wei Liling touched Xia Xiluo's back.
"Mo Chen..." Xia Xiluo's voice was drunk. He just raised his hand without raising his head at all.
Mo Chen looked at Xia Xiluo but didn't step forward.
"Boss Gong, when Boss Xia is drunk, she won't listen to anyone but you. You..." Wei Liling looked at me, then stared at Mo Chen, "Please try to persuade her."
"Let me do it!" Li Xin frowned and looked at Mo Chen, then helped Xia Xiluo up.
Xia Xiluo fell completely on Li Xin, looking completely exhausted.
"No...you are not...I want Mo Chen..." Xia Xiluo shook his head and stood up.
"You are not... Mo Chen... Don't touch me... I don't want anyone to touch me..." Xia Xiluo actually started crying as she spoke. She covered her face and sat down again. After sitting down, she kept crying and her body was shaking.
Anyone who sees this kind of scene will feel heartbroken.
Li Xin sat down again and patted Xia Xiluo on the back.
I pushed Mo Chen and said, "Calm him down."
Mo Chen walked over to Xia Xiluo and sat down. He patted her and said, "Don't cry."
"Mo Chen..." Xia Xiluo reached out and hugged Mo Chen, burying herself in Mo Chen's arms.
Mo Chen patted Xia Xiluo's back naturally and said, "Don't cry, I'm here to take you home."
I turned my eyes away and saw Wei Liling. She was looking at Xia Xiluo calmly.
Then she looked up at me, and when our eyes met, she immediately looked away.
"It's too late. I'm going to call my family and come in later."
"It's so late, you should go home. We are here, it's okay. You still have to go to work tomorrow, so go back and have a rest." I looked at Wei Liling.
Wei Liling looked at me, then looked at Mo Chen and Li Xin hesitantly.
"Go back!" Li Xin looked at Wei Liling.
"Oh!"
Wei Liling nodded, walked towards the door, and looked at me again when she passed by me.
I looked at Wei Liling, turned around and walked out of the bar.
I saw Wei Liling standing on the roadside waiting for a bus, and I walked over to her.
Wei Liling turned and looked at me.
I smiled and said, "Thanks to President Xia and you for entertaining those people that night, otherwise the project would not have been finalized so quickly. You also made an invaluable contribution."
Wei Liling was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "No... it's all thanks to President Xia. I'm just an assistant and can't help much."
"Boss Xia is very capable, so her assistant will naturally not be weak." I looked at Wei Liling with a smile.
Wei Liling looked at me with scrutinizing eyes for a moment.
"Weren't you angry when I treated you like that last time?"
"It's okay. I was a little angry at the time, but I didn't suffer any loss. This is different from your good work. It doesn't affect my appreciation for you."
Wei Liling looked at me and nodded, "Thank you..."
"Well... two different things... work and life... should also be two different things..." Wei Liling lowered her head as if she was talking to herself.
I looked at her and asked, "Were you with Mr. Xia that night?"
Wei Liling came back to her senses, looked at me and nodded.
"Then who is she with..." I was a little embarrassed to say "Didn't you see it?"
“No…” Wei Liling lowered her head.
"No?" I looked at Wei Liling with some confusion. She had been following Xia Xiluo, so how could she not see it?
"No, it's not that there is no answer. It's President Xia who doesn't allow us to say it! He's afraid of affecting President Gong, and affecting the project... the project."
I looked at Wei Liling's expression.
"Okay, do you remember which hotel room they checked into? Or did they go to a private place?"
"Hotel...those people were drunk and unconscious. President Xia arranged for them to stay in the hotel..." Wei Liling lowered her head and didn't look at me.
"Can you tell me the name of the hotel?"
"I didn't notice. I was too sleepy that night... I was waiting for Ms. Xia in the car. She was the one who settled those people. I don't know. I don't know."
A car stopped in front of us.
Wei Liling glanced at me.
"Go back and have a good rest."
"I'm leaving first, bye."
I watched Wei Liling get on the car.
"You...are not the same as what they said..." Wei Liling opened the car door and said to me, then got in the car.
I smiled and watched Wei Liling's car drive away.
Wei Liling was dodging every word she said, it was so strange.
A whistle sounded and I saw a sports car stopped in front of me with a man inside looking at me.
"Beauty, where are you going? I'll take you there!"
I looked at the man expressionlessly without saying anything.
"You are so beautiful, but you are alone? Come on, I will take you out to play!"
"Get out of here!" Li Xin's cold voice came from behind me.
I turned around and looked at Li Xin.
Li Xin stared at the man in the car with eyes as sharp as knives.
