Chapter 223 It’s time to wake up from the dream
When I got up in the morning, Mo Chen massaged my right hand as usual. Since my hand was injured, he would massage me every morning, which was very comfortable.
"Do you feel better?" Mo Chen squeezed my index finger and thumb.
I nodded.
"Are you feeling unwell recently?" Mo Chen hooked my chin with his fingers and made me look at him.
I shook my head.
Mo Chen frowned.
"Master, Madam, the car is ready. Shall we set off now?" The old butler knocked gently on the door.
"Are you sure you want to go to the company with me? You haven't rested for a few days, are you feeling well?"
"I'd better go with you, or I can go look for the queen. I haven't been there for a long time."
"Then you should come with me!" Mo Chen held my hand tightly.
I followed Mo Chen reluctantly.
Although Li Xin and Xia Xiluo were in the company, there was still a lot of work piled up when Mo Chen was away. He was so busy as soon as he arrived that he had no time to rest.
Besides, I have to follow Mo Chen wherever he goes, so the two assistants have some free time.
As the meeting was about to end, an email notification popped up on the computer.
I clicked on it and it was an email sent to the entire company.
What caught my eye was the photo of Hao Weiran and me. It was a photo of Mo Chen and Hao Weiran from the Entertainment Department who were participating in a program. Hao Weiran deliberately took this intimate photo in the corridor.
All the following photos were taken when I went to meet him, and they all captured the moments when we looked relaxed and happy.
There are also screenshots of our messages, but the messages I sent are highlighted, such as the four words "I'll go with you." are enlarged.
Next, it was my photo, which was of those unbearable scenes from my junior year. The man holding my hand was well censored, but his identity and status could be seen from his clothes and body shape. The title read: [Nangong Rongyue is seductive and charming, the new favorite of the rich and powerful, with a chaotic private life and excessive debauchery.]
Then there were photos of me, Li Xin and Mo Chen, most of which were taken in the company. The photos of Li Xin and I were those that had been circulated a long time ago. The photos of Mo Chen and I were more unexpected. The photo of us kissing in the tea room was taken very clearly. Of course, both of them were blurred, and only my face was photographed extremely clearly.
Finally, there are some small titles, which pale in comparison to the titles above.
【A third party intervenes.】
【Abuse of power and bullying of company employees.】
[The method was cruel, harming a pregnant woman, resulting in one death and one injury. ]
"Um... Mr. Gong... It's okay... We'll go out first."
I looked up at the people in the conference room.
Everyone looked at me, Mo Chen, and Li Xin awkwardly.
I looked at Mo Chen. Mo Chen frowned and looked at the computer screen. His hand was sliding gently across his computer.
Everyone went out, and only Mo Chen, Li Xin and I were left in the meeting room.
"Mo Chen! Li Xin!" Xia Xiluo pushed the door open hurriedly.
Mo Chen closed the computer and looked up at Xia Xiluo.
"There was a problem with our land acquisition in Hai City. We had won the bid, but now someone reported that we bid maliciously. Now all the procedures have been terminated. The best outcome is that the bid will be ruled unsuccessful and the auction will be re-sold. The worst outcome... we will be held criminally responsible..."
Xia Xiluo looked at Mo Chen and said, "Nangong Rongyue! It was you who betrayed Gongyi Group, right?"
I looked at Xia Xiluo and asked, "Why would I do this?"
"Then ask yourself!"
Xia Xiluo threw a stack of photos in front of me.
I picked up the photo. It was the photo of Nangong Jianing coming to me that night and handing me the file bag. The photo looked like me handing the file bag to her.
"I want to see how you can quibble. The informant is Nangong Jianing. Did you give Nangong Jianing the photo of Mo Chen and I inviting relevant leaders of Hai City to dinner that night? If you didn't do it on purpose, how could someone know about our dinner and take photos! Why did you do this! It's fine if you harmed me, but you want to implicate Mo Chen as well!"
"I didn't! There are no photos of you in this file bag!" I looked at Xia Xiluo.
"What is that?" Mo Chen's cold voice came.
I turned and looked at Mo Chen.
Mo Chen stared at me with red eyes, his eyes were full of shock, disappointment and anger.
"..." I swallowed the lump in my throat "I have never... hurt you."
"Mo Chen, when these things happened at the same time, someone must have done it on purpose. Someone is targeting Rongyue..." Li Xin said.
"Mo Chen! It's time for you to wake up! Didn't you see the email? Now everyone in the company knows who Nangong Rongyue is! Don't be deceived by her anymore!" Xia Xiluo looked at Mo Chen anxiously.
"Everyone can make up a story, but it's obvious that someone framed us on purpose!" Li Xin looked at Xia Xiluo sternly.
"Li Xin! The photos in the email are very clear. She was among you men, playing with you, and you still spoke for her! I reminded you again and again, but you just didn't believe me! Now the evidence is here, and you still speak for her! Are Mo Chen and I your friends, or is she?" Xia Xiluo looked at Li Xin angrily.
"In short, there are too many suspicious things in this email! Everything is directed at Rongyue at the same time! I only believe in myself, Rongyue will not do such a thing!" Li Xin looked at Xia Xiluo and said, he turned to Mo Chen.
"Mo Chen, Rong Yue contacted Hao Weiran because of your parents' matter. I know this."
Mo Chen raised his eyes and looked at Li Xin "You know?"
"Yes! Rongyue is afraid that you will misunderstand and get angry, but she told me about this! You have to believe her."
Mo Chen smiled and turned to look at me, "You are really capable. You made my brother willingly cover for you so that you can meet other men in private."
"Mo Chen!" Li Xin interrupted Mo Chen angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! She wants to find your parents! Isn't what I said clear enough?!"
"I see! That is to say...it is true that you went to see Hao Weiran privately!" Mo Chen looked at me, he closed his eyes to hide the pain in his eyes, and looked at me again, "These photos...are they real?"
"Mo Chen...I..."
Mo Chen's computer flew past me, hit the wall behind me, and shattered into pieces.
I close my eyes.
Li Xin walked in front of me to block me. "Calm down and listen to her explanation."
"I don't need any explanation, I just want to ask you one question."
I opened my eyes and looked at Mo Chen.
"Nangong Rongyue, no matter what the reason, are you really planning to go with Hao Weiran? I want you to tell me the truth." Mo Chen stood up and stared at me.
"Yes, I told him that as long as he can bring your parents back safely and Nangong Jianing stops making things difficult for Gong Yi's family, I will... go with him."
Li Xin turned around and looked at me in shock.
"Do you know what that means?" Mo Chen stared at me, his voice shaking.
I looked at Mo Chen, watching his tears fall from his eyes one by one. He supported his hands on the table, then lowered his head and took a deep breath, as if to relieve the great pain.
"Mo Chen!" Xia Xiluo walked to Mo Chen and gently stroked his back.
Mo Chen stood up and turned his back to me, his back heaving violently.
"Mo Chen!" Xia Xiluo stroked Mo Chen's back. "Don't be sad. It's not worth it for someone who betrayed you."
Mo Chen's cell phone rang.
Mo Chen took a few deep breaths and answered the phone.
"I am coming over now."
Mo Chen hung up the phone, turned around and walked out without even looking at me.
Xia Xiluo followed Mo Chen out.
The door of the conference room slammed so loudly that I trembled.
"Rongyue." Li Xin squatted in front of me, held my shoulders and shook me.
I raised my hand to wipe my tears and looked at Li Xin.
"Don't cry." Li Xin raised his hand to wipe my tears.
"Li Xin, is it over between Mo Chen and me?" I cried and lowered my hands, because I couldn't wipe away my tears and couldn't control my sobbing.
Li Xin hugged me and said, "No, I know why you did these things. When he calms down, I will explain to him! Mo Chen will understand."
"No, he won't!" I shook my head. The look in Mo Chen's eyes when he looked at me for the last time went from sadness to despair. He was really hurt by me.
Li Xin sent me back to my grandfather's house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my grandfather and Gong Di sitting in the living room, both of them looked solemn.
My heart sank.
I walked to the sofa and looked at the file bag on the coffee table.
I picked up the photos on the coffee table, every one of them was one I had seen.
These are photos of my parents and Mo Chen's parents. It is still shocking to see them again.
I looked at Gong Di.
"Has Mo Chen seen it?"
Gong Di frowned and nodded.
"Where is he now?"
Gong Di sighed, "Madam's health has suddenly developed some problems. Domestic medical treatment is currently unavailable. We have already contacted foreign hospitals. Mo Chen and the master are taking Madam there."
I nodded and turned to look at Grandpa, "Grandpa, I'm sorry."
Grandpa shook his head, his eyes became cloudy in an instant, and he stood up.
Gong Di stood up and supported his grandfather.
Grandpa walked back to the room with the help of the old housekeeper.
"I'll take you home first."
Gong Di sent me back to my and Mo Chen’s home.
"Mo Chen, you may not return to China in the near future." Gong Di looked at me.
I nodded.
"If you need anything, you can always come to me. No matter what it is, I will help you to the best of my ability."
I nodded, opened the car door and walked into our house.
The housekeeper greeted me cordially as always.
But I couldn't hear a word they said, my head was buzzing.
I walked back to Mo Chen's room and lay on the bed. There was still the familiar and beloved smell here, a smell that made me feel at ease even in the dark.
I had a dream. In the dream, there were all the beautiful moments between Mo Chen and I, including quarrels, hugs and love. Every scene of us together flashed before my eyes like a kaleidoscope.
When I woke up, I was already in tears, my eyes and head hurt, and my body was aching.
These pains are reminding me that it's time to wake up from the dream.
