148 Turn a Blind Eye (1/2)

Liu Zhiyuan usually had a good relationship with Mo Han at work, he could even chat a little with Mo Han whenever he was free, so he was less restrained with his words. ”Seeing you so busy lately is making everyone in the company feel scared. There is a lot of work that you don't have to do yourself. We thought that there's something wrong with the company, or we're worried that we've done something wrong. Besides, you're going to fall sick sooner or later if you keep on working like this, and it's not worth the loss.”

”You guys think too much. I feel pretty good lately, my body is fine too.”

”If your sister were to see you like this right now, she'd definitely say that you don't want to live,” Liu Zhiyuan muttered.

Mo Han's face changed in an instant after hearing her mentioned. ”When did you start to be in charge of so many things?”

Even after meeting so many difficult customers and tricky cases, Liu Zhiyuan had never heard Barrister Mo speak in this tone before, and hearing Mo Han like this shocked him, so he started to speak more formally. ”I'm sorry Barrister Mo, I didn't know that you don't like it, I won't ask about it in the future.”

”Don't mention her in front of me again,” Mo Han said.

It was only then Liu Zhiyuan realized that Mo Han was probably like this because he had fought with his sister. But he did not dare to casually ask about it again, this was the first time he had made the boss angry so he could not make a second mistake, and therefore said, ”Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go. Barrister Mo.”

”Leave,” Mo Han started to look at the files on his table again.

Except that this time round, he was unable to continue looking at them.

Irritation. Irritation. Every single part of his body felt restless, and it was difficult to calm down even when he was sitting down.

He was clearly not thinking about anything related to Xia Qingyi, and yet he was always affected by her.

He put down the file, and released a long sigh. He buried his face in his hands, and closed his eyes to try to calm himself down.

But the secretary knocked on the door at this time and said that there was someone outside looking for him.

Mo Han was a little tired. ”Didn't I say not to receive anyone without an appointment?”

The secretary said, ”He said his name is Han Liang. That you'd want to see him.”

The corners of Mo Han's mouth raised a little. That man sure had good timing. He said to his secretary, ”Let him in.”

Han Liang was wearing gray casual clothes and gold-rimmed spectacles, which made him appear like a respectable businessman. He leisurely sat down on the chair in front of Mo Han.

Mo Han smiled faintly. ”What brings Mr. Han here today?”

”What?” Mo Han said coldly.

”Nian Nian told me, that you two had signed an agreement before. If she was to return to her family, she would provide compensation. Now that Nian Nian has safely returned to my side, it's logical to thank you. So we've discussed and decided to give you this bank card. I believe that you'll be satisfied with the amount inside.”

Mo Han looked at the envelope, opened it and saw a bank card inside. He smiled coldly. ”It's rare that Mr. Han is this thoughtful.”

”I hope that after Barrister Mo has gotten the compensation that he deserves, you will stop interfering in Nian Nian's life. Barrister Mo, you should know that some things will come to an end.”

Mo Han remained smiling. ”Don't worry, Mr. Han. I will not go that far to stop doing my work and disrupt your blissful life.” He placed the card back on the table, changed his tone and said, ”But Mr. Han may not know that for the period of time your wife has been staying with me, there are some things in life that could not be measured with money.”

”What Barrister Mo is saying is?”

”I don't know whether she mentioned it to you before, but when we just met, we slept together with each other everyday,” Mo Han said casually.

Han Liang's eyes clouded over with hatred. ”So?”

Mo Han smiled again. ”Mr. Han, don't think too much. She had insomnia and could only fall asleep when there was someone next to her. Which was why I stayed by her side. Of course, what I'm saying is that I freed up my time to accompany her. I could have done some work, or handle my personal matters, but I have to delay them to take care of your wife. How do you plan to calculate the costs for this period of time?”

”How do you plan to calculate them?” Han Liang asked.

”Mr. Han, do not worry. I do not want to make things difficult for you. I just feel that some things should be handled by the party responsible for them, and not you. This will be less productive, it is inevitable that we will miss things, and it will be a waste of time in the end.”

”I'm sorry, but unfortunately, my wife is unable to come for this period of time.”

”Why?”

Han Liang smiled faintly as he answered, ”It's my fault, I only thought of myself. I was busy with her and tired her out these past few nights, and she's developed a slight fever, so she has to stay at home and rest for now.”

Nobody noticed that the hand Mo Han placed beneath the table had become a tightly clenched fist, blue veins popping up on the back of his hand.

”It's okay, we can talk in greater detail after she has recovered,” Mo Han said.
