With Bei Mo glaring angrily from the side, Yuan Meng and Ling Qianchen felt extremely embarrassed and just stared at each other in silence.
After a while, unable to bear it any longer, Yuan Meng got up with a smile and said to Ling Qianchen, "It seems your health has improved a lot. I won't bother you anymore."
Saying so, Yuan Meng took her things and walked out of the ward first.
Bei Mo looked at Yuan Meng's departing back with disdain. She was about to say a few words to Ling Qianchen about Yuan Meng's rudeness and lack of concern for him, but saw that Ling Qianchen had closed his eyes, looking like he wanted to rest and didn't want to talk to her.
She felt angry, stuffy and sour inside. That shabby - looking Yuan Meng, how could she be better than her?
Thinking of the conversation between the two just now, a shadow flashed across Bei Mo's mind. She also followed Yuan Meng out of the ward, but Yuan Meng was already long gone.
Having no other choice, Bei Mo took out her phone, found Yuan Meng's number, and sent her a message.
—I can help you divorce Brother Qianchen sooner.
The phone rang. When Yuan Meng saw the message, a glint of amusement flashed in her eyes.
Bei Mo was really... always thinking about her Brother Qianchen.
Yuan Meng squinted her eyes and her fingers flew over the phone keyboard.
On the other side, ever since Bei Mo sent the message to Yuan Meng, her eyes had never left her phone.
She was so eager to know Yuan Meng's reaction that as soon as the phone screen went dark, she immediately lit it up again, afraid of missing Yuan Meng's reply.
The phone vibrated, indicating a new message, and it was from the person she had been waiting for.
Bei Mo took a deep breath and nervously opened the message interface. She was afraid that Yuan Meng would reject her.
After all, she had suffered a lot at Yuan Meng's hands before.
She was afraid of being deceived again.
—How do you plan to do it?
These simple five words made Bei Mo heave a sigh of relief.
Yuan Meng really wanted to leave Ling Qianchen.
Bei Mo wasn't afraid of Yuan Meng knowing her intentions. She quickly typed out her plan.
This made Yuan Meng on the other end stunned for a moment, and then she burst out laughing. This Bei Mo... would stop at nothing.
Ling Qianchen had such a persistent pursuer. She didn't know if it was his misfortune or something else.
Yuan Meng agreed. She was really fed up with her current life. She felt that she shouldn't be involved with Ling Qianchen any longer.
She was afraid of getting more deeply involved if they continued to be tied together.
After all, that man was not as simple as he seemed.
Bei Mo heaved a sigh of relief when she received Yuan Meng's reply.
She immediately dialed her assistant's number. "Give the order that only our company can take on that project of the Ling family."
What she meant was for her assistant to inform other companies.
Normally, as long as the Bei family wanted a project, other companies in the same industry wouldn't interfere, because they couldn't compete with the Bei family and didn't have the strength to do so.
Bei Mo's assistant hung up the phone and started making arrangements.
News about the company soon reached Ling Qianchen's ears.
He angrily smashed his favorite mug. His assistant was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. "Mr. Ling..."
Ling Qianchen said irritably, "Didn't you say the Bei family wasn't interested in this project?"
If this project fell into the hands of the Bei family, Ling Qianchen's company would have worked in vain for a whole year.
He had made his company's employees stop their other work specifically for this project. After making thorough preparations, they were suddenly told that the project was going to be snatched away? What a joke!
Just as Ling Qianchen was scolding his assistant, Bei Mo called.
"Brother Qianchen... I heard that your Ling family also wants to take on that project?"
Ling Qianchen calmed down his anger and said calmly into the phone, "You already know, don't you? Why does the Bei family suddenly want to interfere in this project?"
There was clearly no profit in it.
The Bei family wasn't the kind of good - hearted family that liked to do such public - welfare projects.
Bei Mo chuckled lightly. "Brother Qianchen, you're underestimating us. Our Bei family sometimes really wants to take on such public - welfare projects."
"After all, our Bei family also needs a good image in front of the public."
Good image? Bullshit good image.
Ling Qianchen scoffed at Bei Mo's explanation, but he didn't show his disgust. He flattered the Bei family a few times, and sure enough, it made Bei Mo feel proud.
"Brother Qianchen, I know it's our Bei family's fault this time, but you know, my second uncle is such a person. He acts on a whim..."
Bei Mo deliberately showed a look of embarrassment, which made Ling Qianchen snort. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Hey... hey, don't hang up, Brother Qianchen. We can talk about any problems. How about this? Let's meet up?"
Meet up? Hmph. Ling Qianchen originally wanted to hang up the phone directly, but then he thought about it and agreed. He wanted to see what this Bei Mo was up to.
The two agreed to meet at a Western restaurant.
When Bei Mo put the plan in front of Ling Qianchen, Ling Qianchen's face turned completely cold.
"What do you mean by this?" Ling Qianchen looked at Bei Mo coldly, waiting for her to explain.
Bei Mo raised her chin, looking completely unyielding.
"Brother Qianchen, if you cooperate with our Bei family... maybe you won't be so troubled."
Bei Mo dropped a meaningful remark, and Ling Qianchen immediately guessed her intention.
Before Bei Mo could finish her words, Ling Qianchen refused. "No need. Since the Bei family wants this project, you can have it."
"But if that's the case, how will you explain it to the Ling family, Brother Qianchen?" Bei Mo said self - righteously.
Ling Qianchen sneered. "The business world is like this. There are always mistakes. The Ling family won't take this little mistake as the end of the world."
He said it nicely, but both of them knew that if they lost this project, Ling Qianchen would be severely criticized by the old guys in the family.
Bei Mo pretended to be distressed. "Brother Qianchen, arranged marriages are normal for families like ours."
"Why do you have to be so resistant?"
Ling Qianchen didn't answer her. Instead, he turned around and left.
On the other side, after Yuan Meng learned about Bei Mo's plan, she thought for a while and then called her second brother.
She insisted that her second brother assist the Bei family with this project.
Second Brother Yuan was completely confused when he received the call. He didn't react at first.
"What are you up to?"
Wasn't she getting along well with Ling Qianchen?
Yuan Meng told her second brother about her plan. After Second Brother Yuan heard that Yuan Meng wanted Bei Mo to find a way to make Ling Qianchen agree, he was extremely reluctant, but he couldn't resist Yuan Meng.
Yuan Meng pleaded with him softly for a few words, and Second Brother Yuan's refusal turned into full agreement. When he hung up the phone, Second Brother Yuan only hoped that Yuan Meng wouldn't regret it later.
Because when the truth came out... Ling Qianchen would surely be angry.
Yuan Meng didn't care. In fact, her interactions with Ling Qianchen had become more natural in the past few days.
She never mentioned divorce again, which made Ling Qianchen a little confused. "You..."
"What?"
Yuan Meng's question made Ling Qianchen shut up. He thought maybe she didn't want a divorce anymore?
This thought made both of them start to avoid the topic of divorce.
Ling Qianchen noticed that Yuan Meng not only stopped mentioning divorce but also started to act coquettishly like before.
Although so, Ling Qianchen didn't say much. Compared with Yuan Meng's previous behavior of constantly talking about divorce, Ling Qianchen was more used to her current state.
One day, the hospital called Yuan Meng, saying that there was a problem in the research laboratory. Since Yuan Meng had nothing to do, she went there directly.
Little did she know that Ling Qianchen was following her, and he saw her discussing medical conditions with others.
