Chapter Forty-Nine: The Ghost Scroll
I held the check for 10 million, like a hot potato, and my face was full of bitterness.
Although I didn't want to covet anything, what I did betrayed me to Xi Mushen.
In his eyes, I took this 10 million, which is just the beginning.
After watching Xi Mushen's tall back gradually disappear, I realized that tears flowed uncontrollably.
I know what the problem is, but I can't change it, there is really a gap between people and people that cannot be crossed!
After taking the money, I went directly to my mother's house, looked at my mother who was looking forward to it, handed her a check for 10 million, and didn't want to say anything, I turned around and left.
"Why don't you take a little more? Say 10 million, he really gives 10 million, I've been idle lately, and I want to start a small business. Mom was happy to see the check, and then complained.
I listened to my mother's words, and I couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in my heart: "Mom, the Xi family is not a bank, nor is it our ATM!"
Ten million is already excessive, and the overdraft is my image in Xi Mushen's mind.
But Mom, she won't understand.
"You're from the Xi family, what's wrong with us taking a little money?" said the mother with her chest straightened up.
After I heard this, I suddenly became extremely sad, "Mom, if you don't have enough, return the money to me, you can go to the Xi family yourself, I don't care." β
After speaking, I walked away, but my mother grabbed my hand, smiled and apologized, saying that I would have lunch before leaving, I had no appetite and didn't want to eat, so I refused directly.
But my mother still didn't let go, licked her face and said, "Money, 10 million is enough, if you are not happy, you won't take it...... However, can you go to Xi Mushen and sign an agreement for clothing to be stationed in their mall? It's a good thing on both sides, and he'll agree. β
I stomped my feet as I listened.
She wants the clothing produced in the big brother's factory to settle in the major shopping malls under the Xi Group!
I know very well that these shopping malls are all high-end brands, and they are high-quality and high-quantity, and the control is very strict, and the products produced by my brother's factory cannot enter at all.
I'm really annoyed, my mother is this virtue, she always doesn't think about anything else, she obviously takes advantage of others, and puts gold on her face!
If it's really a good thing on both fronts, why do you need to tell me?
"This matter, you let the eldest brother talk to the people of the Xi Group by himself, I have no right to get involved in Xi Mushen's work. I said with a frown.
"Xi Mushen is your husband, you talk to Mu Shen, isn't it over, do you have to make it so troublesome?" said his mother impatiently.
I said word by word: "Don't say that I have never been involved in the Xi family's business, and I can't get involved, with all due respect, the clothing on the eldest brother's factory is not up to standard at all, and it is a dream to enter the clothing store under the Xi Group." β
"How did you dream? The president of Xi's Group is my son-in-law, what happened to me letting the clothes from my factory in their shopping mall? A win-win situation, no?" said my mother with an incomprehensible expression.
I knew that she was messing around, and it didn't make sense at all, so I said perfunctorily that I would go back to Xi Mushen to discuss, and my mother let go of me with satisfaction and let me leave.
I was walking on the road, and I didn't want to go back to Xi's house, I was so depressed that I was at a loss, and after a long time, I called Lin Man and asked Lin Man to come out to accompany me.
Lin Man is my primary school classmate, and the two of us have a close relationship, and I will tell Lin Man many things.
When she received the call, she came to pick me up, and when she saw my appearance, she probably guessed that I had something on my mind, but she didn't ask much and said that she would take me to relax.
Subsequently, she took me to the Paradise Bar for a drink.
When I was slightly drunk, I couldn't control my desire anymore, and told Lin Man about the events of the past few days.
Lin Man was so angry that he wanted to go to Xi Mushen to settle accounts.
I grabbed Lin Man and smiled bitterly at Lin Man: "Lin Man, his heart is not with me. β
Lin Man felt incredible, "I have been snubbing you all along, and now I have a child with Fang Tong, and I still want you to mention the divorce?
I'm tired now, I've always known that we're not people in the same world, it's just that I've always believed that as long as I wait, there will be a reward, but I don't want to ......" I took a sip of wine and said with drunken eyes.
Lin Man told me before, don't be stupid and throw a heart on Xi Mushen's body, but if the heart is released, it can't be recovered.
I always thought that as long as I waited for Xi Mushen in the villa obediently, and became a good wife and mother, Xi Mushen would definitely see my goodness and look back at me.
But I was wrong, very wrong.
Xi Mushen passed by a lot of scenery, but only this one scenery, even if he once stopped, he would not take a look.
"Do you really want a divorce?" said Lin Man, holding his head and looking at me with compassion.
"Can you not leave?" I asked, and Lin Man stopped talking.
We drank until midnight, and Lin Man and I slept in the hotel next to the bar.
The next day, after I woke up, I told Lin Man that I wanted to find a job and see if I could go to her company.
Lin Man works in Time Group, and I have also had some understanding of this company through Lin Man, which is more in line with my previous major and my own interests, and is a professional designer.
"With your ability, it's definitely fine. Lin Man nodded, "But you need an interview from the HR department, you go back and put the design drawings made in your studio in your resume." β
"Good. I nodded, expectant.
I married Xi Mushen after graduating from college, and after I got married, I didn't work, after all, as Xi Mushen's wife, I worked outside, and the impact was not good, this is what my mother-in-law said.
She said that since I married into the Xi family, I had to abide by the rules of the Xi family, and I was also naΓ―ve, so I agreed.
Fortunately, although I stayed at Xi's house all year round and didn't go out, in order to dispel loneliness and boredom, and so not to forget everything I had learned, I secretly made a design studio on the Internet.
It's very simple to do this studio, go to a professional website to find customers, I make a design draft according to their requirements, and then bid, and customers will buy if they like it.
However, I don't take many orders, and I don't make much money, because the housework is heavy, and I still have some necessary entertainment, and I am worried about being found out by my mother-in-law, so I always do things late at night.
Fortunately, Xi Mushen doesn't go home often, and the free time left for me at night is quite sufficient.
Now, if I divorce Xi Mushen, I won't have any financial resources, so I have to be prepared to earn money to support myself and pay off the debt I owe to Xi Mushen.
......
"What? The design plan customer is not satisfied, don't you know that the group is fighting for the right to put the mall in Paris on the shelves?"
"No matter what method is used, let the people in the design department come up with a design drawing that satisfies the customer, otherwise, all of them will be fucked out. β
At noon, when I returned to Xi's house, I heard Xi Mushen calling his subordinates on the phone in the study.
