Meng Xi could tell at a glance that Boss Huang was obviously not sincere in discussing cooperation with her today, and he didn't know what tricks were hidden in his beer stomach.

Meng Xi had already been waiting outside for an hour, and Meng Xi was already a little impatient, but now seeing him like this, he had no patience, but had to force a smile on his face.

"Boss Huang, do you have any other questions? I need it urgently, so you see..."

Boss Huang saw Meng Xi's eager look, put the teacup he just picked up on the table, and said with a smile on his face:

"Since Mr. Meng cuts to the chase, I won't play around with you anymore. I can't accept that price."

Hearing this, Meng Xi's expression changed drastically.

The price she offered was already much higher than the market price, which was the price Boss Wang gave her last time, but I don’t know what this ancestor is still dissatisfied with now. Could it be that he wants to sit on the ground and raise the price, and take the opportunity to blackmail her?
I thought so in my heart, but I still couldn't show it on my face.Meng Xi smiled, and answered with some embarrassment:

"But the price is already very high. I don't know what the price is in your heart?"

Boss Huang said a number, which immediately made Meng Xi want to get up and leave, but reason still held her in place.

The biggest supplier of this batch of building materials is the person in front of him, and Meng Xi is in a hurry. If he transfers the goods from other places now, it may delay the project.

In this case, she will need to pay another liquidated damages.But if she buys this batch of medicinal materials according to Boss Huang's price, then she will really lose any profit from this project.

Meng Xi was caught in a dilemma for a while, and Boss Huang seemed to be unhurried, leaning back on his boss chair, picked up the teacup, blew slowly, and drank.

After Lili poured tea for them, she stood aside with her head half down and said nothing.

Meng Xi thought about it for a long time, and felt that the price was still unacceptable. She tried to negotiate with Boss Huang, but the other party insisted on the price tightly and would not let go.

Originally, it was already late when they arrived, and they waited outside the door for another hour. Now the tea in the teacups has cooled down, and the sky has completely darkened.

Boss Wang seemed to have something to do in a hurry, so he lost his patience and continued to entangle with Meng Xi. He put down his raised Erlang legs and sat up straight, with a faint smile on his lips.

"How about it, Ms. Meng, it's getting late today, you stay in my manor first, and we'll talk about the contract tomorrow."

Meng Xi glanced at the time, knowing that today could only be like this temporarily, so she nodded.

Boss Huang took them out together, and only then did Meng Xi finally understand why he insisted on keeping them here today.

As soon as he left the house, Boss Huang began to introduce his manor to Meng Xi and his party, his tone full of pride and pride:
"My manor is the only one in this city. Many celebrities have visited it. It was built with huge sums of money back then!"

Meng Xi made a tough expression on his face, but when he turned his head and looked at the resplendent and rustic decoration here, he still couldn't help but slander in his heart.

Lili walked out with them, and she was following Boss Huang without saying a word.

"...Hey, that's right, the one who went out just now, did you see? That's a big shot, with a lot of money—"

Speaking of this, Boss Huang may have consciously slipped his words, so he didn't continue talking, laughed dryly, and changed the topic.

But Meng Xi caught the meaning of his words in an instant, the person he just mentioned should be Huo Shen.

I don't know when Huo Shen came, at least earlier than them.

After talking with Boss Huang in the office for so long, it looks like I bought something from him.But Meng Xi never thought that Huo Shen could buy anything from Boss Huang.

But it was not convenient for her to ask this question, so she could only walk down with a stomach full of question marks.

"Walking through this corridor is where you live. This is the room access card."

After coming out of Boss Huang's office, he went down to the first floor and came to a garden.

Lili handed the access cards of the two rooms to Meng Xi, and said calmly.

"Then you go to rest first, we will talk tomorrow." Boss Huang only had this sentence left, and turned and left in a hurry.

But after he turned and left, Lili didn't follow immediately, but stood beside Mengxi and whispered to her:
"Don't cooperate with Huang, he is not a good person."

The voice of this sentence is very soft, so light that it can be blown away by the wind.Meng Xi wasn't even sure if she really said such a sentence, so Li Li turned and left.

"What did she tell you?" Si Yancheng looked at her back and asked curiously.

"Lili is so weird today, she doesn't seem to know us, she doesn't talk to me anymore." Huo Sinian was the most angry all night, seeing her leave without talking to him, he said angrily.

"It's nothing." Meng Xi was not sure, she shook her head and replied.

"Sure enough, you women are like this. Women's hearts can change as they say. They were so kind to me yesterday and invited me to eat cotton candy. Today, you pretend that you don't know each other. You must have empathized, alas."

Huo Sinian followed Meng Xi, and while stepping into a small building behind the garden, he pretended to sigh and sigh.

With a sound of "Puff", Meng Xi couldn't hold back her laughter. She gently pinched the tip of her son's lovely nose with her hand, and said helplessly:

"Why do you know so much at such a young age? Who told you to strike up a conversation with someone that day?"

"Hmph!" Huo Sinian looked away a little unconvinced.

Meng Xi thought his son was cute, so a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. When he turned his head, his gaze shifted, and he inadvertently met Si Yancheng's gaze beside him.

There was also a faint smile on Si Yancheng's lips, and he looked at her without blinking.

After meeting his eyes, Meng Xi saw something in his eyes, blushed inadvertently, turned his eyes away subconsciously, and changed the topic in his mouth:
"The relationship between Lili and Boss Huang is definitely not normal. I always feel that the atmosphere between them today is somewhat ambiguous."

Huo Sinian was much more mature than ordinary human children of the same age, so Meng Xi didn't shy away from talking about this kind of topic in front of him.

On this kind of issue, men are obviously much slower than women. Hearing what she said, Si Yancheng asked with surprise on his face, "How do you know?"

Si Yancheng stayed in the office all day today, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong between Boss Huang and his secretary.

"Eyes." Meng Xi's tone was very firm, "When he looked at Boss Huang, his eyes were wrong. There was a little love in his eyes, but more of suppressed hatred. You must know that if a woman has never had a strong love for a man, Love, it is impossible to have such hate."

Meng Xi had a similar experience with this, so he could see through what Lili was thinking at a glance.

She didn't know what happened between Lili and Boss Huang, but she could guess that Boss Huang must have hurt him deeply.

"So what? Nothing can happen between this Lili and Boss Huang. Boss Huang has a wife." Si Yancheng is a typical straight man thinking, not thinking as much as she is, and said casually.

"How do you know?" Meng Xi seemed to have heard about Boss Huang's wife, but he was still not sure.

"His mobile phone wallpaper is a group photo of a family of three, I saw it just now."

Hearing this, Meng Xi began to doubt whether her guess was correct.If Boss Huang really had a family, it seemed impossible for him to have anything to do with Lili.

It was getting late, after returning to the room, Meng Xi took Huo Sinian to sleep after taking a shower.

Si Yancheng's room is upstairs from them, and the three of them are relatively far away.

Although the decoration is a bit hard to describe, the facilities here are good.Meng Xi fell asleep on the big soft bed, but fell asleep in a daze until midnight, when a woman's cry could be faintly heard next to her ears, waking her up.

When Meng Xi opened his eyes, there was darkness in front of him. It took a few seconds to realize where he was now, and the intermittent crying in his ears became more and more clear.

It seemed to be the cry of a woman, appearing and disappearing from time to time, the sound was not too loud, but the night in the manor was really too quiet, so Meng Xi could hear it even in her sleep.

She turned her head and took a look. Huo Sinian was soundly asleep, and was still snoring faintly, obviously not affected by the sound.

Meng Xi listened to this voice for a long time without ending, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep again.

The windows of the balcony seemed not to be closed tightly, there was a faint wind blowing outside, the white curtains in the room were fluttering, and the moonlight outside also spilled into the room from time to time.

There was still such a crying sound in my ears.Many scenes from ghost movies appeared in Meng Xi's mind, and he felt a little scared.

After a long while, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up from the bed and left the room lightly, determined to find the source of this cry and find out.

Walking out of the building where she lived, the crying grew louder.

Meng Xi came out in only her pajamas, and now she walked into the garden following the sound of crying, and within a few steps, she saw the back of a person who seemed to be squatting beside the grass in front, which was somewhat familiar.

Meng Xi accidentally raised her feet and walked towards that figure, but the air around her seemed to be getting colder the closer she got, and she couldn't help but raise her hands to rub her arms.

"Lili? What's wrong with you?"

When they got closer, Meng Xi realized that the figure squatting there crying was actually Li Li.

She asked as she approached, and when she walked behind the man, she was about to squat down to check, but Lili suddenly stood up, turned around and glared at her with wide eyes.

"You return my son!"

Lili let out this furious cry, and before Meng Xi could react, she suddenly raised her arms and grabbed her neck viciously.

Meng Xi was startled for a moment, subconsciously raised her arms to hold Lili's arms, but her strength was so strong for some reason, Meng Xi couldn't tear her away with all her strength, and said with difficulty:

"Lili...it's me, I'm Mengxi, don't you recognize me?"

When Lili heard this, she really didn't hear it, as if she had lost her mind. She recklessly increased her strength, and she even kept repeating plausibly: "Give me back my life, you have to pay him back... ..."
