Chapter 234 An Olive Branch
Seeing Murong An messing around like this, Xia Nuanxin's face didn't look so good, and her limited patience gradually ran out.
"An An, I really don't have anything to explain."
After saying this, Xia Nuanxin went to pull Charlotte's hand: "Chenchen, go home with your mother." ”
Xia Luocheng reluctantly put down the spoon, his eyes wandered back and forth between Murong An and Xia Nuanxin, and finally stood up obediently.
Seeing that Xia Nuanxin didn't take her words seriously, Murong An's anger suddenly came up, she took a few steps forward and stretched out her hand to pull Xia Nuanxin's arm, but her feet were unstable, and as soon as her hand was stretched out, her knee hit the foot of the single sofa.
The sofa was suddenly attacked by an external force, and with a loud bang, it crashed into the coffee table not far away, and on the coffee table, there were still hot wine-stuffed balls that Sister-in-law Lin had just brought out to warm Xia Xin's heart. Under the shaking of the coffee table, the soup bowl that was already placed on the edge of the coffee table shook left and right twice, and then turned straight outward.
Xia Luocheng was small, and he was standing on the edge of the coffee table at the moment, and when he saw a bowl of hot soup splashing on his head, he immediately tore his throat and let out a scream.
Before Xia Luocheng's scream, Xia Nuanxin had already squatted down quickly, and protected Xia Luocheng's whole person in her arms with her arms, so the whole bowl of hot soup was splashed on her arms.
Xia Nuanxin suddenly frowned.
For a moment, the three people in the living room were stunned, and Murong Anxin looked at Xia Nuan's wet arm with affection, and his face showed a rare trace of guilt.
Sister-in-law Lin heard the movement and came out of the restaurant, and saw the scene in front of her clearly, she was immediately shocked, she was about to speak, the door outside sounded softly, and a tall figure appeared at the entrance.
"An An, what are you messing around with again?!"
Huo Beixiao's face was gloomy, he was still holding a mobile phone in his hand, and his sharp eyes looked straight at a few people in the hall.
Xia Nuanxin endured the pain in his arm and stood up, and when he turned his head, he saw Huo Beixiao with an unkind face.
"Sister-in-law Lin, what are you doing standing stupidly?"
Huo Beixiao gave a look, and Sister-in-law Lin immediately understood, before he finished speaking, Sister-in-law Lin turned around and went into the kitchen, and brought out a large basin of cold water after a while.
Murong An's face was ugly: "Brother Xiao...... I ......"
"I heard it all." Huo Beixiao said coldly, without even looking at Murong An, he took two steps forward to pull Xia Nuanxin's arm, but was avoided by Xia Nuanxin.
His eyes widened: "If you don't soak in water now, do you want to wait for blisters?" ”
"I'm fine, I'll go back and ......" With so many people present, Xia Nuanxin was a little embarrassed for a while, and she resisted a little in her heart.
But Huo Beixiao didn't care about this, he couldn't help but pull Xia Nuanxin's arm and pull up her sleeve to take a look.
Seeing that the originally snow-white skin was flushed with hot soup at the moment, Huo Beixiao took a deep breath, buried Xia Nuanxin's arm in the basin of water, and threw a meaningful glance at Murong An.
The eyes were extremely sharp, and the reproach contained during the period made Murong An'an feel a chill in his head......
She didn't mean it either, she was glared at by Huo Beixiao's reproachful eyes, and her heart was suddenly extremely aggrieved: "I didn't mean it......"
"You send the documents to the company first, and Assistant Yang is waiting in the conference room."
Huo Beixiao was noncommittal.
The more he was like this, the more Murong An was bottomless, and he wanted to explain it more clearly when he stepped forward.
But Huo Beixiao waved his hand involuntarily, as if he didn't even want to say a word to her.
Murong An's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, so he could only grit his teeth, turn around and pick up the document bag and open the door and leave.
Before she closed the door, through the crack in the door, she saw Huo Beixiao bowing his head and carefully watering Xia Nuanxin's arm with cold water, with a look on his face that could almost be called gentle.
After waiting for a while, Xia Nuanxin saw the door lock click, and knew that the person was completely gone, so he pulled his arm out of Huo Beixiao's hand with all his strength.
"Everyone is gone, you don't have to act."
She blew on her still flushed arm and said without much warmth.
Xia Luocheng seemed to be stupid by Fang Cai's scene, tugging on Xia Nuanxin's clothes at the moment, staring at her arm with his eyes hooked, and couldn't say a word with his mouth closed.
Huo Beixiao sneered, and couldn't help but grab Xia Nuanxin's arm again and press it into the water.
"You know I'm acting?"
Xia Nuan smiled: "Since you heard everything, you should also know that she didn't mean it, you don't need to be so strict with her." Unless...... You did it on purpose. ”
Huo Beixiao laughed silently, stood up and walked under the TV cabinet to rummage, and finally took out a tube of scald cream and walked back to the sofa.
"I'll do it myself." Xia Nuanxin stretched out her hand, looked at Huo Beixiao fixedly, and persevered.
Huo Beixiao nodded, didn't fight with her, and put the ointment into Xia Nuanxin's stretched palm.
"I did it on purpose. I don't want her to make a fool of herself any longer. Huo Beixiao said, pausing for a while, he watched with interest Xia Nuanxin clumsily medicating himself.
"Besides, I already know what I really want."
Hearing this, Xia Nuanxin's hand slipped, and the ointment dragged a whole strip on her forearm.
She sighed and gently smoothed the ointment.
"Huo Beixiao, stop joking, I'm really not in the mood lately."
Huo Beixiao: "What? You still think I'm joking? What do you have to believe it? ”
Xia Nuanxin threw away the ointment and looked up: "I don't believe it, I'm two big now, and I really can't spare the energy to deal with these things." ”
Huo Beixiao's expression froze: "Broken matter? ”
"Okay, tell me, what are you talking about?"
Xia Nuanxin was silent, she didn't believe that with Huo Beixiao's connections and well-informed, even Murong An knew about it, he would know nothing.
"Oh, let me guess. Is it your mother's illness? Still is...... Chenchen's business? ”
Xia Nuanxin glanced at Huo Beixiao, she was not in the mood to deal with his tricks, she wiped her sleeves with a tissue casually, stood up, and went to find her handbag: "If it's okay, I'll go first." Thank you for helping me take care of Chenchen. ”
Huo Beixiao watched Xia Nuanxin finish everything, pulled Xia Luocheng's hand with half of his sleeves, and moved towards the entrance in a bit of embarrassment.
He lay on his back on the sofa, and suddenly said very abruptly: "Xia warms my heart." Let's make another deal. ”
Xia Nuanxin's footsteps paused, her back suddenly stiffened, she almost heard the creaking sound when she turned her neck, and when she heard this sentence again, she really didn't know what she was feeling in her heart.
She looked at Huo Beixiao, who was very comfortable, inexplicably, and quietly waited for his next step.
Huo Beixiao spread his hands: "Why are you so surprised, but one is two, isn't it?" I have heard about the situation of your company for a long time, and now the old men of the board of directors have been urging me to ask you to issue a deposit, otherwise the cooperation between us will be interrupted, and you will have to pay liquidated damages. ”
Xia Nuanxin's face turned pale for a while, she trembled her lips and said, "Are you going to take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”
Huo Beixiao was not overwhelmed by the charge given to him by Xia Nuanxin, but he shrugged his shoulders a little aggrieved and said: "The company is not mine, I can't decide everything alone, sometimes as the general manager, I have to listen to the board of directors more often." ”
Xia Nuanxin snorted disdainfully: "Then what does your transaction mean?" ”
Huo Beixiao was waiting for her words, and when he heard this, Shi Shiran stood up on the sofa and approached Xia Nuanxin in a few steps.
As soon as his tall body with temperature approached, Xia Nuanxin couldn't help but hold his breath.
But Huo Beixiao stopped three steps away from her, and he even pulled the corners of his mouth good-naturedly: "It's very simple." You marry me, and I will help you pay the security deposit. Including those suppliers who come to the door to collect payment. ”
Xia Nuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Huo Beixiao really knows everything!
But he knew everything, but he never offered to help, and now when he opened his mouth, it was another damn deal!
Xia Nuanxin's forehead was bruised.
Their encounter from the beginning was wrong!
Time is wrong, people are wrong, and the so-called transaction is even more wrong!
And she, is she going to make mistakes again and again?
Xia Nuanxin's hand was strong, and he squeezed Xia Luocheng's little hand.
Xia Luocheng was in pain, but he didn't dare to break free, he just raised his head and shouted softly: "Mom? ”
The mosquito-like child's voice was not loud, but it pierced the awkward air of the wonton at this time, making Xia Nuan's consciousness gradually clear.
She didn't answer Huo Beixiao, but stood in place for a while, still silently pulling Xia Luocheng to the entrance.
Huo Beixiao was not in a hurry, he stood in place, quietly looked at Xia Nuanxin and Xia Luocheng's backs, and said, "I heard that tomorrow you NuanHeart will have a face-to-face meeting with an important VIP customer, right?" It is said that a large amount of security deposit is also required? ”
Xia Nuanxin paused to put on her shoes, and the expression on her face was completely cold.
Mountain after mountain weighed heavily on her shoulders.
Every word Huo Beixiao said was extremely correct, and he felt her current situation very clearly. Not only the payments he just mentioned, but also the bank's reminders.
If they don't pay off the $5,000 debt, the bank will definitely take action. If the syndicate determines that they are no longer able to maintain normal operations, they will be declared bankrupt......
Hasn't Qiu Yating's hard work over the years been in vain?
Standing outside the door of Qiu Yating's ward, looking at Qiu Yating who was talking and laughing with Chenchen in the ward, Xia Nuanxin was extremely conflicted.
On one side is the company that his mother worked hard to maintain...... On one side is the group that Qiao Yu is struggling to support...... On the other side, it was Huo Beixiao who stretched out an incomparably attractive olive branch to her......
Where does she go from here?
It's getting dark, and tomorrow is not far away, what will she do to greet that VIP customer? If this business can't be negotiated, it will undoubtedly be even worse for their company.
At this time, Qiu Yating inside the door seemed to have some understanding, and suddenly raised her head to look at her.
Xia Nuanxin hurriedly put away the tangled expression on her face, regained her smile and walked in.
