Mo Yurou listened quietly, bent down, picked up the paintbrush, and said.
"Then let him come in and drink some water before leaving, but don't let me see him."
Mo Yurou knew very well that even if she didn't agree today, Wu Ma would carry her out to see Xiao Zichen, so she might as well let him in, but she could only decide whether to see him or not.
When Wu Ma heard this, she immediately pulled Yasi out of the greenhouse without saying anything.
Mo Yurou looked at the two people walking away, frowned slightly, then stood up, walked to the greenhouse door, and locked the door from the inside.
Xiao Zichen entered the manor and was immediately attracted by the tranquility in front of him.
Just now at the door, I could only see a corner of the manor, but when I am inside, I can truly feel the tranquility here.
"Mr. Xiao, are you tired from the journey? I asked the kitchen to prepare some lunch, so I will make do with it."
Xiao Zichen had just parked the car when he saw Wu's mother walking out of the villa.
This villa is very large, covering an area of less than 300 square meters. It is three stories high. The appearance is a typical European-style building. There is a small fountain at the door. The road from the parking lot to the villa gate is filled with flowers on both sides.
"Wu Ma, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Xiao Zichen politely thanked him, but he looked around while speaking. Wu Ma guessed who Xiao Zichen was looking for, but she didn't tell him and led him into the villa.
The villa has a warm pastoral American style, with floral fabrics everywhere, but it doesn't look cumbersome, but exceptionally elegant.
Walking into the living room, a painting attracted Xiao Zichen.
It was an entire background wall made of Mo Yurou's photos. In the photo, Mo Yurou was wearing a lavender one-shoulder chiffon dress. Her hair was slightly curly and spread to her waist. She also wore a bandana on her head.
A garland of flowers.
Mo Yurou was sitting quietly on the lawn, with a flower stand in front of her. She was painting with concentration. The whole picture was particularly quiet and sweet. Mo Yurou in the photo was also gentle and gentle that Xiao Zichen had never seen before.
"Mr. Xiao, let's go to the restaurant first!"
Wu Ma's voice brought Xiao Zichen back to his senses from the painting in front of him. He thought Mo Yurou was waiting for him in the restaurant, so he followed her there with great expectation.
But there was no one in the restaurant. There were three or four dishes on the Western dining table that could accommodate twenty people, and they were still steaming.
"Mr. Xiao, please use it slowly."
After saying that, Wu Ma was about to leave, but Xiao Zichen finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Wu Ma, Yu... where is Miss Mo? I want to see her."
Wu Ma smiled slightly and said.
"I'm sorry, Miss, I don't want to see you. I asked you to come in because it's dinner time. Mr. Xiao should leave early for dinner. The nearest hotel from here is an hour's drive away."
After saying that, Wu Ma went to the convenience store, poured a glass of water for Xiao Zichen, and placed it in front of him.
"Wu Ma, I want to see her. Don't worry, if she really doesn't want to participate in this project, I won't force her. I just want to see her when I come here."
Xiao Zichen, who was usually carefree and carefree, got married when her mother-in-law arrived. She had rejected her over and over again, but he still wanted to stalk her.
Wu Ma hesitated for a moment, then looked at the backyard of the villa from the far window, then sighed and said.
"Mr. Xiao, why are you doing this? My lady has finally let go of the past. Why do you need to show up again? If you do this, you will hurt my lady."
Wu Ma's tone of voice was filled with complaints. In his heart, he wanted Xiao Zichen and Mo Yurou to get along well, but he was also afraid that Mo Yurou would be hurt again. After all, there was Jiang Moyao beside Xiao Zichen, and Mo Yurou would never
He would do things that would break up people's marriages.
"I……"
Xiao Zichen felt a little confused. In fact, during this time, he was also asking himself what was wrong with him. He clearly hated this woman so much at the beginning, but this time he met, his mood changed.
"Mr. Xiao, in this case, please stay away from my young lady. Do you really have to cause her to lose her life to be satisfied? Even if the Mo family owed you money at the beginning, my lady should have paid it off in two years, right?
!”
Seeing Xiao Zichen's hesitation, Wu Ma was a little angry, and her words were not as kind as before.
And Wu Ma's last words seemed to wake Xiao Zichen up.
"No, Mother Wu, I came to Yurou because I really have something very important to discuss. There may be something hidden about the project in Yucheng back then."
"Hey, I've said before that Miss never threatened you with that matter. Miss is in the back garden. As for whether she wants to see you or not, it's up to you."
Looking at Xiao Zichen's sincere eyes, Wu Ma finally gave in, and then pointed to the door leading to the back garden not far away.
"Thank you, Mother Wu."
With that said, Xiao Zichen was about to leave, but Wu Ma quickly stopped him.
"Eat your food first!"
Wu Ma pointed to the meal specially prepared for him on the table, and then left the restaurant.
Xiao Zichen ate very quickly, which can be described as devouring it. After finishing eating, he took a piece of paper and wiped his mouth and went to the back garden.
At this time, Wu Ma and Yasi stood on a terrace of the villa, looking at the hurried backs in the distance.
"Wu Ma, do you think the lady will be angry if we are like this?"
Yas is still a little worried. Although Mo Yurou usually has a good temper, he has also seen Mo Yurou lose her temper, which is quite scary. He still wants Mo Yurou to pay him wages. Don't work then.
Not guaranteed.
"Don't worry, that girl, you have a hard mouth but a soft heart. You will be fine."
With that said, he pulled Yas into the villa.
"Let's go, don't disturb them."
Xiao Zichen walked along a corridor to the glass conservatory, and saw Mo Yurou inside from a distance.
Today, Mo Yurou was wearing a beige sweater and a pair of loose-fitting trousers. Her hair was casually tied into a ponytail and a headband.
The weather today is very good, it is noon, the sun is warm, shining into the greenhouse through the transparent glass, and the light hits the glass and creates colorful apertures.
Mo Yurou didn't notice Xiao Zichen until he appeared at the door of the greenhouse, but she didn't raise her head, her eyes always fell on the drawing board in front of her.
Xiao Zichen reached out and pushed the door open, only to find that the door was locked from the inside.
Xiao Zichen knocked on the door, but Mo Yurou didn't respond at all. She ignored what was going on outside the window. Seeing this, Xiao Zichen did not continue to knock on the door. He simply sat under the corridor outside the greenhouse, but his eyes kept falling on Mo Yurou.
.
Two people, separated by a layer of glass into two different worlds.
Inside the glass room, Mo Yurou was focusing on her design draft, but outside the glass room, Xiao Zichen seemed to have discovered a different Mo Yurou.
During this period, Wu Ma thoughtfully brought tea and fruit snacks to Xiao Zichen, but no one broke the silence here.
About an hour later, Mo Yurou finally put down the brush in her hand, and Xiao Zichen also put down the teacup in his hand at this moment.
Mo Yurou turned around and looked outside. Seeing Xiao Zichen still sitting there, she stood up and walked slowly to the door.
Xiao Zichen also stood up and hurried to the door.
The door opened, and the two people looked at each other speechlessly. This silence lasted for more than ten seconds.
"I won't consider cooperation."
"Are you done?"
The two people said in unison, and then they were stunned again. After that, Mo Yurou walked out of the greenhouse.
"Mr. Xiao, now that you know my identity, my attitude was very clear in London the day before yesterday."
Mo Yurou deliberately kept a distance from Xiao Zichen and walked in front alone, with Xiao Zichen following behind.
"Call me Zi Chen, and I'll also call you Yurou."
Xiao Zichen did not respond to Mo Yurou's words, but corrected each other's titles.
Mo Yurou stopped, turned to look at Xiao Zichen, smiled faintly, and said.
"Mr. Xiao, we are not so familiar with each other! You can call me yuri."
Mo Yurou's attitude was very clear.
Xiao Zichen sighed secretly, but still accepted Mo Yurou's proposal.
"Yuri, I can probably guess now why you refused to participate in cooperation. You are afraid of having too much contact with me, right?"
Xiao Zichen directly provoked the general, but Mo Yurou did not avoid it.
"Since Mr. Xiao knows, why force others to do anything difficult? I just don't want to see you and Mrs. Ling."
She wanted to provoke her, but Mo Yurou would not fall into the trap, so she admitted it openly, which was not embarrassing.
And this answer was beyond Xiao Zichen's expectation. The Mo Yurou he knew was not a very strong person.
Xiao Zichen thought for a moment and then spoke again.
"If that's the case, why did you return to Luo City some time ago?"
"I have to follow the teacher's order. Mr. Xiao, if there is nothing else, please go back. It's not close to the hotel."
Mo Yurou didn't want to waste any time talking to Xiao Zichen, so as she was about to enter the villa, she issued an eviction order.
"Yurou, I've been investigating the Yucheng project recently."
Xiao Zichen saw that Mo Yurou didn't want to talk to him, so he brought this matter up.
However, Mo Yurou did not show an interested expression, but asked lightly.
"So, didn't Mr. Xiao find out that it was my father who broke the cooperation agreement without authorization? Why, Xiao always feels upset and is planning to take action against Yaohua Group."
Mo Yurou's eyes were cold and distant, her tone was calm, and there was no emotion at all.
Xiao Zichen knew that Mo Yurou had misunderstood and hurriedly explained.
"I discovered some new doubts. Maybe Yaohua took the blame for someone else back then."
These words finally aroused Mo Yurou's interest. Her eyes flashed, she took a step closer and asked with a serious expression.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Zichen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing each other's postures at this time, he suddenly said in a panic.
"Are you prepared to talk to me like this?"
Only then did Mo Yurou realize how close she was to Xiao Zichen. As long as Xiao Zichen raised his head or she stepped on her feet, they could touch each other. Mo Yurou immediately took a step back and walked into the villa.
"Go to the study to talk."
Xiao Zichen followed Mo Yurou, and the two of them went to the study room on the second floor.
The room is very large, with bookshelves covering the entire wall on three sides, filled with books, and a set of sofas by the window.
