Chapter 40

Plum Garden

The cold color home furnishings, even the curtains, are cold. In front of the windowsill, Xiao Mo sits quietly at the table, looks down and reads a stack of materials under his eyes. His eyebrows and eyes are slightly wrinkled, his handsome side face lines are cold, and his tight lips show a man's temperament of not being close to strangers.

At this time, a knock on the door interrupted the quiet atmosphere.

"Mo Shao, Miss Xia Tong wants to see you. Now wait in the living room." Xiao Er stood at the door, looking straight and reporting respectfully.

Xiao Mo raised his head. His cold face softened when he heard the woman's name and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'll go now." Closing the information in his hand, he stood up, left the office with his slender thighs, took two turns, and soon saw the shadow sitting on the chair.

She sat quietly with her eyes down. Her thin body was very straight. A pair of small hands were placed on her legs. It looked like a charming porcelain doll from a distance.

After hearing the sound of leather boots stepping on the floor, she looked up slightly. What came into her eyes was the man's handsome and domineering face. Her eyebrows bent and her brilliant smile immediately lit up the room, "you're coming."

Xiao Mo's heart moved, and some hot feelings spread unconsciously from the bottom of his heart.

He nodded, fixed his eyes on Xia Tong's figure, and directly came over, "Xiao Er, go make tea."

After Xiao Er nodded and left, Xia Tong sipped his pink lips and said with a faint smile, "I'm surprised. I'll come to you?"

"No surprise."

Hearing that he was so determined, she was surprised, "why?"

"I heard about you."

Although Xiao Mo seldom goes out, as long as he wants to know about Shengjing, he can naturally understand it. To tell the truth, he really looks at the woman in front of him. If ordinary people experience this, they will be unwilling.

After all, the gap feeling of falling from a high altitude is not something that ordinary women can calm down.

Now he looked at Xia Tong as if nothing had happened. He thought she didn't care about her identity.

But

Another thing made him uncomfortable.

It is said that things between Nangong Chen and her will always make him frown unconsciously.

Xia Tong didn't know what he was thinking. After hearing his words, he was stunned. Then he smiled disapprovingly, "do you think I would come to you for help?"

Xiao Mo shook his head directly, "you won't."

Xia Tong blinked and wondered, "then why did you say..."

The man thought for a moment, stared at her with deep black eyes, and said, "because you are my woman."

Xia Tong was stunned, then covered with black lines, "you know it's not true."

He joked in a serious tone. It sounded strange and made her not used to it.

But who knows, Xiao Mo picked up the tip of her eyebrows, raised her thin lips slightly, and joked, "who says it's not true?"

"You..."

Xia Tong's eyes are complex. Some of them can't understand what men are thinking. Before, it was clearly agreed to act, so what he meant

Besides, she is not the second young lady of the Rong family now, but an ordinary woman, so what reason does he have to do so?

wait!

She didn't come for this. Well, how could she be biased by this man in a few words?

With a light cough, Xia Tong deliberately didn't see the man's deep black eyes and smiled, "you know I don't need you to be responsible. I want to ask you about something today."

Knowing that she was deliberately avoiding the topic, Xiao Mo didn't force it. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and a soft light flashed in her eyes, "you say."

Xia Tong hesitated for a few seconds, then raised his eyes and looked directly at the man's cold black eyes. After half a ring, he gently asked, "I want to inquire about old Li."

Xiao Mo's smile on her lips was suddenly cold. Her original soft face became sharp because of her words. His black eyes narrowed. He asked with his eyebrows, "why do you ask?"

Xia Tong didn't avoid his sharp eyes like a sword and looked at him without fear, "because I want to find out the accident, because I want to catch the behind the accident!"

She knew that Xiao Mo was a very sensitive and wise man. She didn't want to lie to him, so she decided to tell the truth. Of course, she wouldn't mention such incredible things as rebirth.

Xiao Mo was no longer relaxed and playful, and looked at the woman with a straight face in front of her with a rather rigorous frown.

What did she say?

Find out who's behind it?

Not to mention what earth shaking events she could do as a weak woman, even he didn't find out the real behind the car accident.

Where did she get her confidence?

"Why check?"

Hearing the man's low voice, Xia Tong didn't avoid it. He smiled gently, "it's for one person."

She naturally could see the meaning of Xiao Mo's eyes, but she didn't care. No matter who looked down on her, she would find out. Even in the face of great difficulties, she still wouldn't give up.

"For whom?"

Xiao Mo pressed step by step, and his tone gradually became sharp. His black eyes stared at her eyes and wanted to see something from her crystal eyes.

The oppressive force of the man's tall body rolled over. Xia Tong's heart jumped. Some couldn't bear the momentum of Nie Ren, but she wouldn't let herself be timid. She took a deep breath, looked up at the man's eyes and gently spit out two words, "Li Xiao."

When she said these two words, the man's eyes shrank suddenly!

Li Xiao?

The dead man, the man who has been buried in his heart for more than ten years.

Xiao Mo tried his best to restrain the beating of his heart, turned around, and didn't let her see the painful color of his eyes. He held his fist tightly on his side, and the back of his hand was surrounded by green tendons, but he still couldn't suppress the strong emotion in his heart.

Xia Tong didn't know what the man was thinking. He said faintly, "Li Xiao and I have known each other for a long time. Although there is only one side, I still remember her deeply. If she hadn't saved me on August 8 four years ago, I'm afraid I would have been abducted by human traffickers. It was from there that I saw her agile Kung Fu that I made up my mind to learn kung fu."

This is a lie. It's an excuse she made for all this. She believes that this excuse will deceive Xiao mo.

"That is to say, you are to repay kindness? Will trace the truth of the accident? "

"Yes."

Xiao Mo gradually calmed his breathing. He turned around and looked at Xia Tong with sharp eyes. He looked firm on his face.

Yes, few people know that Li Xiao really knows Kung Fu and doesn't even lose to men. Moreover, Li Xiao did come back once on August 8 four years ago. Therefore, Xia Tong's words also made him believe.

"Why do you think the accident was not simple?"

What did she see from the intelligent woman in front of her?

Xia Tong lowered his eyes lightly, and his voice was cold. "Intuition, my intuition is that the car accident is not simple."

She just thought that the car accident was definitely not a simple thing!

Grandpa has a habit. Every time he takes a car, he will ask people to check the car from inside to outside. How can he easily have a car accident if he takes such careful precautions?

With her intuition, someone is definitely behind the scenes.

Xiao Mo looked down at her and stared at her coldly for a long time. Then he turned around and waved his big hand, "Xiao Er, see off!"

Xia Tong frowned and looked up at him, "you..."

"Miss Xia Tong, please."

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Er came to her and made an invitation gesture.

Obviously, Xiao Mo is driving people.

But she still wants to know, "Xiao Mo, you said we were friends."

Half a sound, no man spoke. She could only see the man's back straight, and the surrounding atmosphere became very cold.

"No comment."

Four cold and low words came out of the man's mouth. Xiao Mo still didn't turn around to look at her, and didn't even want to tell her a little news.

Xia Tong sighed, said nothing more, and turned away.

……

……

The passers-by who came back thought that Xiao Mo might alienate her because of this.

But she doesn't regret doing so, because she must find out the accident. It's not a short time since she was reborn. She doesn't want to stop her goal in her life because of other things.

Only he can provide her with what she wants to know.

Yes, she always believes in her intuition.

Thinking of this, Xia Tong's lips bent a shallow solitude. However, as soon as he touched the luxury car in front of his house, he couldn't help wondering.

Who's at her house?

After carefully looking at the luxury car brand and making sure she didn't know it, she hesitated and walked into the temporarily rented house. Obviously, someone had entered her house without relying on the key.

She frowned at the thought.

"Miss Xia Tong, you are finally back."

First of all, a dignified and cold voice came. In the narrow room, there was a young man with noble temperament. He looked cold and looked at her coldly since she came in.

That look, as if looking at a very dissatisfied goods.

Most importantly, she was familiar with the frown of the man who was unkind to her.

After a little meditation, she already knew his identity, but did not reveal it. Instead, she went to the table and handed him a glass of water. "What can I do for you?"

Although she was surprised by this person's arrival, she was not deterred by the other party's indifferent eyes, but was naturally calm.

He was somewhat surprised by her leisurely temperament.

The woman in front of him was so calm about the oppression he deliberately released, which really made him a little impressed.

But

This does not mean that he will change his contempt for her.

Nangong Jin narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sneer flashed on her smart and calm face. Then, he took out a check from his pocket and threw it on the table, but he didn't take the cup in her hand. He said coldly, "this is a check for one million. Please leave Nangong Chen."

Xia Tong was stunned and still kept holding the cup.

The man's cold and heartless words were not polite at all. Although he said the word "please", he carried an order that could not be refused.
