Xi Muqiao lowered his eyes. His expression appeared to be as calm as usual, and a hint of solemnity could be seen from his brows.

He could hear Little Rascal crying. He could roughly guess what had happened, even though there was an imperceptible quiver in Little Rascal's choked voice.

Little Rascal couldn't explain to her mother where the surgery fees came from, could it? How could he not understand Lin Wei's probing tone when she spoke to him again?

He had seen Little Rascal crying with its nose full of tears, completely devoid of any image of its former self.

However, he did not expect that the more silent the crying was, the more it pained him. The sound of the sobs struck his chest, and his heart felt as if it had been struck by a hammer, the pain spreading to his internal organs.

He took out a light square handkerchief from his pocket and gently caressed his palm with his slender fingers. His eyes were half closed, hiding the surging emotions in his eyes.

The handkerchief was a disposable item to him. He would throw it away once and never wash it. However, that time, he had let the little bastard wash him clean and carry him on his body, unwilling to throw him away.

Lin Yi knocked on the door and entered. He saw the president with a strong aura and a face that defied the heavens standing by the window. Although he and Zuo Zhen had been by the president's side for many years, they had never seen through this man.

In the shopping mall, this person was swift and decisive. His iron hand technique was this person who treated people warmly. His elegance was this person, and in private, it was also this person that was cold and indomitable.

Not long ago, because of the girl that forced him to sleep, Lin Yi realized that this person had never had such a side to him before. The domineering belly, the demonic smile, the frivolous eyebrows and the curve of the mouth, carried a faint aura of a ruffian.

Everyone knew that the Xi Family was a wealthy family, but very few people knew how wealthy they were. On the surface, it looked peaceful. However, they were actually just wolves in sheep's clothing, waiting for an opportunity to bite into the other party.

"CEO, the things you asked me to do have been settled. When the time comes, we can just bring Miss Qiao and the household register."

Xi Muqiao nodded, the solemnity in his eyes lessened. He put the handkerchief back into his pocket and said indifferently, "How is it, Second Master?"

"The Second Master has been very cautious and on high alert recently. Our men don't dare to take another step forward, so we can only wait and see."

Xi Muqiao's eyes rolled as a look of understanding flashed across them, "Watch carefully, don't be too hasty and don't alert the enemy. The good show is yet to come. This old fox is very smart."

"Understood." Lin Yi nodded and replied respectfully.

"Also, none of the plans that Simochi will make will be allowed to pass. If he doesn't agree, then let him come to me." The corners of Xi Muqiao's lips curled up slightly, but his smile did not seep into his eyes. His voice was light and indifferent, but it carried a dominating pressure that could not be doubted.

The Xi Family was no longer the same as the dying Xi Family. If not for Xi Family's Xi Family, they would have long collapsed and become the leading business in River City. Did they still think that the Xi Family belonged to the Xi Family?

Lin Yi looked at the tyrannical man in front of him, stars shining in his eyes. He had always felt that his CEO was too cool, even his anger gave people an elegant feeling.

"Little Rascal, watch over us from the left! If you have anything to say, just tell me right away, even if it's something the size of a sesame seed." Little Rascal was naturally referring to Qiao Mu.

Lin Yi nodded, "Ok, don't worry, CEO."

"You should know how to tell those people about the social events tonight." With that, he made a gesture with his hand, indicating that Lin Yi could go out.

Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face filled with grief, "Ah, CEO, you know, those old foxes are simply a pack of wolves. Not only are they slippery, but their attacks are also so fierce.

"Who is a wolf? Who's the old fogey? "Who's the slippery one?" The man asked lightly.

The man shot a glance at the cowardly assistant and lifted his delicate chin. His tone was a bit fake. My assistant, Xi Muqiao, has an annual salary of two million. Could it be that he can only do some small chores like sorting out information tables? How about this, you go to the Finance Department and say it yourself, change your salary to two hundred thousand and then change your office … "

Lin Yi was startled, he hurriedly stepped forward and stood straight, "President, you can rest assured that I will go tonight and complete the mission!"

Only then did Xi Muqiao nod his head, his tone carrying a little seriousness, "If you dare to lower the price to me, then immediately roll over and go to Africa. Go over there and earn money for me, there just happens to be a lack of a talented leader like you."

"…"

Xi Mubai patted Lin Yi's shoulder with his big hand and turned to walk towards the door. In such a large office, only Lin Yi was left as a pitiful ghost. He had been hoping for a raise, but it seemed like it would be great if he didn't retire now.

"No, I have to talk to Leftie about it. A pay cut is just a small matter, we can't let him go to Africa."

Qiao Mu, who had just left the hospital, heaved a sigh of relief. What happened today had nearly scared her to death. It was all thanks to that old bastard Xi Muqiao.

"I really didn't expect that old bastard to be so detestable at such a crucial moment. When I see him again, I must thank him properly. Oh, then I'll treat him to a fried pancake and a ham sausage."

Qiao Mu raised her head and looked at the sky. Although she had managed to hide the operation fee, what about the debt of 4 million yuan?

"Sigh." After a long sigh, Qiao Mu was troubled again.

She couldn't imagine her mother's attitude towards the 200 thousand yuan surgery fee that made her angry. She couldn't imagine how her mother would react if she knew that she had paid all 4 million yuan.

This wasn't something that could be fooled just by giving out donations. Which rich person would be sick? The more money he had, the more anxious he would feel. He would help others pay their debts, not wanting anything at all! Her mother wasn't stupid, so she definitely wouldn't be able to explain.

Qiao Mu took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the worry in her heart. His mother couldn't leave the hospital in a short time, so he hid it for now before she tried to think of a way.

After repayment, she paid the surgery fee and still had 200k left. Qiao Mu still decided to go to work. After all, her mother still needed to spend money to recover after surgery. They couldn't live the rest of the 200k.

Behind Qiao Mu, a car was following her at a distance. After walking for a long distance, the person in the car was none other than Xi Muqiao.

Ever since Qiao Mu had left the hospital, Xi Muqiao's car had been following her. He wanted to know how the little bastard's daily life was like.
