Cheng Yangtian was tortured by explosive news one after another and vomited blood on the spot, and when he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Qin Baichuan had already been "kidnapped" by monkeys and sent to Jiangling Mansion. There was already a messenger waiting, and after Qin Baichuan came down, the messenger told Lu Fu Yin that he was looking at the paper of the Splendid Villa to the Baihua Workshop, and asked Qin Baichuan to wait in the side hall.

In the side hall, Qu Xi was drinking tea with Luo Yuan, and when he saw Qin Baichuan coming in, Luo Yuan was also interested, and after giving Qin Baichuan a look, he withdrew from the side hall and waited outside. Qin Baichuan glanced up, Qu Xi was still in the same outfit as before, white clothes and cold face, sitting there like an ice sculpture, without any expression.

"Master Qu Zhuang has made so much effort to invite me here, what is his order?" Although he told himself again and again in his heart that from the perspective of the owner of Splendid Villa, although Qu Xi's approach was excessive, it was not wrong, and he should no longer be resentful, but when he saw Qu Xi, Qin Baichuan still couldn't help but be weird when he spoke.

"I reported the addition of mercury and arsenic to the formula of the Baihua Workshop to the government, and Lu Fuyin personally experimented with dogs." Qu Xi said thoughtlessly.

"After this time, Cheng Yangtian is estimated to jump into the river, what is the point of dying a dog?" Qin Baichuan sneered.

"It's really nothing." Qu Xi looked up at Qin Baichuan: "I know, at this time, in your opinion, my heart is like a snake and scorpion, vicious and vicious, but I don't care." Today, I don't start with the Hundred Flowers Workshop, and the Hundred Flowers Workshop will grow and develop, and there will be no more Splendid Villas in Gangneung. ”

"Qu Xi, do you know what I hate the most now?" Qin Baichuan looked at the big farmer with a strange expression: "I have to admit that although I have heard a lot about these methods of yours, I am still surprised when these things are naked in front of my eyes." That's not a reason for my resentment, though. What I hate is, even if you want to play so big and so ruthless, why can't you tell me in advance? ”

"Even if you use me, you will inform me, as your father-in-law, no matter what you do is right or wrong, I will support you unconditionally and be your solid backing. If you win, I will watch you in the dark, and if you lose, I will accompany you to make a comeback. But what about you? Do you think that only by hiding it from me can you hide Cheng Yangtian and Xiao Yu? ”

"I've been looking for you." Qin Baichuan's voice couldn't tell whether it was annoyance or resentment, Qu Xi said coldly.

"Yes, you have looked for me, and even asked me if I would be distressed if you died...... Were you prepared for the worst? Once the snake group can't resist the Cheng family's dead, you will disappear into this world from now on? Qin Baichuan stared at her: "Qu Xi, don't you think you're too selfish?" ”

"What about you?" Qu Xi asked rhetorically, Qin Baichuan was immediately stunned, and only listened to Qu Xi say: "I actually don't want to admit it, in fact, I am the same kind of person as you, but the image I show on weekdays is different." ”

"You won." Qin Baichuan suddenly smiled and said, "I still eat Cheng Yangtian's vinegar, it turns out that since the day he arrived in Jiangling, he has become fat in your mouth." ”

"I'm not a wolf, I'm not interested in meat." Qu Xi frowned: "I have a good personal relationship with Cheng Yangtian, but this time, each is his master." ”

"Okay, it's all happened, it's useless for me to say anything." Qin Baichuan shook his head vigorously and looked at Qu Xi seriously: "When I was in the study teahouse, I was thinking, let Xiao Yu help you such a big favor this time, the price you paid must be beyond my imagination." ”

"What do you want to say?" Qu Xi bowed his head.

"I want to ask, before I arrived at Splendid Villa, Xiao Yu had a way to control the lifeblood of Splendid Villa, although you drove away Cheng Yangtian this time, you walked with Xiao Yu, obviously driving away the tiger but attracting a wolf." Qin Baichuan tilted his head and said, "Could it be that Xiao Yu is more trustworthy than your father-in-law?" Or, did you call me over today to cancel my status as a minister? ”

I don't know if it's for Mao, when he said this, Qin Baichuan was a little distressed.

"Do you care?" Qu Xi asked.

"Of course I do." Qin Baichuan lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly chuckled: "After the last quarrel, Meng Xiaoling said to me, saying that I am too egoistic, and I didn't think so at the time. But now I realize that I've always felt good about myself, that everything has to be me, that everybody needs me, that everyone depends on me, and I've always enjoyed that feeling, and I think of myself as a big player whenever and wherever I am. ”

Qin Baichuan laughed self-deprecatingly: "But what about you, you gave me a slap in the face with practical actions this time, you tell me, even if there is no Qin Baichuan, you can play Cheng Yang Tiantuan as the owner of the village, and you can also gather a lot of silver for the Splendid Villa, to be honest, this feeling is very bad, I can hardly brush up my sense of existence anymore." But I have to admire you, these days Wangjianglou is a hot topic on the streets and alleys, and after the news of the Baihua Workshop spreads, I am afraid that the topic of Splendid Villa will completely suppress Wangjianglou. ”

Qu Xi raised his head, from knowing Qin Baichuan to now, it was the first time he heard these soft words from his mouth.

Qin Baichuan did have a feeling of loss in his heart, looking for Qin Ji, Wangjiang Tower, even the Chu Family Workshop, Qingfeng Academy, Lord Lu, and even the uncle of unknown origin put up with him, let him, let him, Qin Baichuan had already had a feeling of lightness, but Qu Xi let him see the reality clearly this time. People, don't take yourself too seriously, who won't turn the earth without it?

"Is this what is in your heart?" Qu Xi's eyes were clear, although she didn't need to consider other people's opinions when doing things, and she might get Qin Baichuan's approval, the owner of Qu Dazhuang still had some joy in her heart.

"It's more real than real money." Qin Baichuan stretched out his hand: "I said it when I was in the study teahouse, after this incident, except for Xiao Yu, no one can hinder the development of Splendid Villa, and I have lost the need to exist." Say, get me to the Gangneung Mansion, what do you want to do? ”

"If I say I want to break off your engagement, will you agree?" Qu Xi bit his lip and asked.

"Stop dreaming, it can't be."

"Why?" Qin Baichuan replied without hesitation, which made Qu Xi a little surprised: "You didn't say that you would go back to Splendid Villa...... It's ......"

"I didn't say that I would go back to Splendid Villa, don't mix it up with the big owner." Qin Baichuan waved his hand and said, "I suddenly found that all the contradictions between us were caused by the Splendid Villa. I went to Fairview Villa because my lady let me have a stable livelihood, don't embarrass her; When I found out that my lady was the owner of Splendid Villa, I had the intention of assisting; Now I find out that the lady's means are better than me, so why do I want to go back to the place that makes me sad? ”

Qin Baichuan's logic is simply a little unreasonable, but you can calm down and think about it...... It seems like that's really the case.

"Does it really make sense for you to be entangled like this?" Qu Xi looked at Qin Baichuan: "Whether you admit it or not, our marriage has caused irreparable rifts because of my use and deception. ”

"Big farmer, you're wrong again." Qin Baichuan shook his head: "It doesn't matter if there are cracks in the marriage, because the previous marriages were all fake, and it's not a pity to abandon them, let alone cracks?" There must be advantages and disadvantages in everything, and this time I was used and deceived by you, but didn't it give me a chance to re-examine myself and look at you? ”

"Since it's all fake, why don't you give me back the marriage contract?" Qu Xi snorted: "Don't you think what you said is full of loopholes? ”

"The fake marriage contract must be repaid, but after the real marriage." Qin Baichuan tilted his head and looked at Qu Xi: "Qu Xi, do you know what I want to do the most now?" ”

Qin Baichuan's eyes were sharp, Qu Xi decisively chose to shut up, only to hear the guy say: "I want to go back to Wanhua Xiaozhu, in the space that only belongs to you and me, press you against the wall, and kiss you fiercely." I really want to take a closer look at what a strong woman in the shopping mall is like when she is a lady. ”

"You'll never have that chance." Qu Xi had long expected that it would not be a good word: "Hu Bo has always been by my side, if you dare to act rashly, he will not spare you." ”

"You have Huber, I have a monkey, I don't know if it's the dumb king snake's thin sword that is powerful, or the monkey's dagger is superior." Almost everything that should be said has been said almost, although now I can't get back the feeling I had when I was with Qu Xi, and even the Qu Xi in front of me makes Qin Baichuan feel strange, but Qin Baichuan doesn't care at all, because this may be the real Qu Xi.

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve, go back early when you're done, and help me send this letter to North County by the way." Qin Baichuan finally had something to do, and handed the letterhead on his body to Qu Xi. Qu Xi hesitated slightly, but finally reached out to take it without asking more.

"Baichuan," Qin Baichuan turned around and wanted to leave, but Qu Xi stopped him: "What kind of result do you think this tripartite cooperation will end?" ”

"I can't see through it." Qin Baichuan replied honestly: "However, one thing I can be sure of is that the Cheng family will get out of Jiangling in a gray manner." ”

"What about the Xiao family?" Qu Xi asked again.

"The Xiao family may be a partner of Fairview Villa and develop for a long time...... However, I will not be in Splendid Villa in the future, you have to be careful of Xiao Yu's methods. Qin Baichuan's voice became gloomy: "You'd better be mentally prepared, if you and Xiao Yu are just a business cooperation, I will turn a blind eye, if he is still a thief to you...... Qin will set fire to the Medicine Pavilion. This is not alarmist, I am confident that I have this strength. ”

"I asked you to come over today for two things, the first is to ask you what you mean, whether this marriage contract is still necessary to be kept." While speaking, Qin Baichuan had already walked to the door, and Qu Xi said lightly: "Look now, it's a failure." ”

"And the second?"

"The second is that I want to invite you to watch another play, don't you think it's a pity that you're gone like this?"

"Watching a play? What kind of play to watch? Qin Baichuan said suspiciously.

"You told me that driving away Cheng Yangtian and Xiao Yu is like driving a tiger and recruiting a wolf." Qu Xi met Qin Baichuan's gaze, his eyes were clear, but his voice was cold: "But you forgot, there is a trick in the art of war, which is called driving the tiger and devouring the wolf." ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Baichuan's heart jumped twice, and he roared out almost on the spot: "You united with Xiao Yu to drive Cheng Yangtian out of Jiangling, and you want to swing the butcher's knife at Xiao Yu when you return your hand?" ”

Qu Xi was silent.
