"Xiao Nanye."

Su Mo called out his name softly. Just as she opened her mouth to say something, the person on the sofa suddenly stood up.

"If you dare to mention this name again, I will make sure you never see him again." Xiao Nanye stood up and looked at Su Mo coldly.

Su Mo's face turned pale. Just as she lifted the quilt and was about to get off, Xiao Nanye had already left the room in large strides with a cold aura.

The whereabouts of Leo had yet to be found, and now she was under house arrest by Xiao Nanye. Su Mo was so angry that she chased him and shouted, "Xiao Nanye, how long do you want to keep me locked up like this?"

"It depends on your attitude of admitting your mistake," Xiao Nanye said, stopping to look at her.

"I'm just going to see someone. Is that so wrong? Xiao Nanye, what right do you have to lock me up?" Su Mo gritted her teeth.

It was this kind of unrepentant attitude that was the most irritating. A sneer hung on the corner of Xiao Nanye's mouth. "What right? Just based on the three words Xiao Nanye, I won't allow you to see him."

During this period, because of the matter about Leo, Su Mo was in a very bad condition. Moreover, she had been forced to board the plane by Xiao Nanye's subordinates, so it was already the limit for her to be able to talk to him calmly.

She walked over and looked at Xiao Nanye. "I went to Marseille because there was really something important. It was my fault that I didn't call you in advance. I wanted to explain it to you when I came back. It was just an accident to meet Brother Jin there."

"Accident?" Xiao Nanye tilted his head and looked at her coldly. "Ah, what a big surprise?"

He thought to himself, "I was about to go crazy from searching for you, but you actually hid with your first love in Marseilles to enjoy romance. It was indeed a huge accident."

Su Mo already knew that Xiao Nanye was unreasonable, but she did not expect him to be so stubborn. She had already explained things clearly to him, but he was still talking sarcastically.

Su Mo's temper also rose, and she said with a cold face, "Xiao Nanye, if you have something to say, just say it. Why do you have to lock me up? If Grandpa asks..."

"I only brought you to Xiao Manor to deal with my grandfather. Do you really think you are Xiao Family's madam?" Xiao Nanye asked coldly.

How hurtful these words were! One would only know after personally experiencing this situation.

Hearing Xiao Nanye's words, Su Mo felt her body suddenly tremble. It felt like she had been hit by a car, and her internal organs did not seem to be hers.

"You're not Xiao Family's madam!"

Su Mo bit her lower lip until it turned white, trying not to let him see the turbulence in her eyes. She choked and said, "You are right. Who am I to you? Why should I mention grandpa in front of you?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, but she still raised her chin restively. "Xiao Nanye, don't forget that I no longer owe you anything. If you push me too far, I'll leave this place."

In fact, Xiao Nanye regretted it after saying these words, but the current situation did not allow him to be soft-hearted. Before he found out the purpose of her going to Marseille, he could not let her leave the house.

Hearing Su Mo say that she wanted to leave, Xiao Nanye only sneered. In Yu Garden, there were six bodyguards inside and outside. If she wanted to leave, she had to walk out of this door.

Su Mo had not been back for a month. At first, Xiao Nanye said that she was on a business trip, but it had been so long that she should be back.

Later, Xiao Manor called Yu Garden to ask about the situation. Zhou Mianhong and Mother Wu had long been reminded by Xiao Nanye, so they naturally did not dare to speak the truth.

After all, losing a job was a small matter, but offending Xiao Nanye was a big matter.

Mother Wu and Zhou Mianhong did not dare to talk too much about this matter, so as soon as Xiao Manor called, they only said that Su Mo was fine, but they did not dare to let her answer the phone.

Xiao Nanye had made up his mind to give her the silent treatment to the end. From the second week onwards, he would not even return home.

No matter if it was Su Mo smashing things or using the hunger strike as a means, he would not care about any big movements of her. Every day, he would hug different beauties and appear on different occasions.

Su Mo could only see him on TV every day. She found that the women around him were constantly changing, but the figure of Ye Yan was always around him.

In the past, when he doted on her, Xiao Nanye had said that he had nothing to do with Ye Yan. The reason why he treated Ye Yan differently from others was that he had promised someone to take care of her.

At that time, he still cared about Su Mo's feelings and rarely went to the same place as Ye Yan did.

But now, everyone said that Ye Yan had regained his favor.

Su Mo suddenly realized that she knew too little about Xiao Nanye. She knew nothing about his family and his past.

Because of the house arrest, Su Mo's mood had been very low, and she became more and more silent.

She stopped reading the newspaper with Xiao Nanye's photos printed on it. Xiao Nanye was afraid that she would contact Lu Shaoqi, so he asked someone to ban the family network. She couldn't go online and couldn't do anything.

Every day, she could only ask Zhou Mianhong to help her investigate the situation in Marseilles. She did not even miss the news or weather forecast. The parts of any piece of a newspaper mentioning any information about French would be all cut-down.

Seeing Su Mo like this, Mother Wu suspected that she was possessed. Mother Wu called Xiao Nanye to come back and persuade Su Mo, but he said that he was busy.

During this period, Su Mo was in great pain. Even in her dreams, she dreamed that she had gone to Marseille.

She thought to herself, "That child, that child, I have never seen him before."

Zhou Mianhong found that Su Mo had changed. Su Mo could hold the painting book and kept drawing without speaking a single word for the whole day. The scenery in the painting was very strange. She had never seen it before.

During the period when Su Mo was under house arrest, everything was normal outside.

A month ago, the jewelry advertisement that was shot in Provence was released in several countries after being edited. Now, Su Mo was a well-known spokesperson for M Jewelry.

Because Su Mo's outstanding performance was widely praised, now many business partners wanted to find her to advertise, and some producers asked Ling'an Group and wanted to find Su Mo to act in roles in TV dramas.

Unfortunately, no matter how sincere they were, they were unable to see Su Mo in person.

Over the past month, Lisa was the one handling all of Su Mo's matters. She could vaguely sense that something was wrong between the two of them.

But as a competent secretary, she could not explore the secrets of the boss.

Although she did not want to probe further, she was still inevitably dragged into it.

When Lisa drove to Yu Garden, Su Mo was sitting on the balcony on the second floor and drawing, but no matter how she drew, she could not draw the scenery in her memory.

Zhou Mianhong knocked on the door and came in. "Miss, someone has come to see you. She is downstairs."

Su Mo thought that she had heard wrong. She thought to herself, "Since Xiao Nanye is eager to isolate me now, how could he let someone come to Yu Garden to see me?"

"Miss?" After Zhou Mianhong repeated it again, Su Mo finally reacted.

She hurriedly stopped the brush in her hand and ran barefoot to the balcony. At a glance, she saw the white mini, which was Lisa's car, parked on the courtyard side.

Su Mo quickly put on her shoes and ran downstairs.

Lisa had long guessed that Su Mo and the president were in an argument. Otherwise, the president would not be so abnormal during this period. However, she did not expect that the matter was so serious.

She was very curious in her heart, thinking to herself, "What exactly happened? The president actually wanted to put Su Mo under house arrest in this garden?"

However, as the president's secretary, she did not ask what she should not know. This was basic professional conduct.

"Lisa, you are here."

When Su Mo saw Lisa sitting in the living room, she quickly walked toward her. She held Lisa's hand and said, "Lisa, can you help me persuade Xiao Nanye? He refuses to listen to me."

"Su Mo, he is my boss, and I am only his secretary. He won't listen to my advice." Lisa looked at Su Mo awkwardly.

Su Mo originally thought that the situation would change when she saw Lisa. After all, without Xiao Nanye's permission, the bodyguards at the door would not allow anyone to come in.

However, after hearing Lisa's euphemistic rejection, Su Mo sat down in disappointment. She hated Xiao Nanye to death in her heart.

She thought to herself, "When this person was kind, he held me high up in the sky. When he was vicious, he was like a demon that ate me without spitting bones. He is really hateful."

Seeing that Su Mo was a little disappointed, Lisa couldn't bear it and felt a little guilty when she remembered that her purpose for coming to Yu Garden today was not pure.

Lisa moved closer to Su Mo and held her hand as she said, "I have been with the president for so long, but I have never seen him have such patience for anyone."

"Su Mo, in fact, the president really treats you very well. Why do you have to anger him?"

What Lisa did not say was that Su Mo had angered Xiao Nanye and that it was his subordinates who were suffering.

Now, Xiao Nanye stayed in the company almost every day. He did not leave after work. Every department in the company had to accompany him to work overtime. If he was not satisfied with anything, he would be furious.

Over the past month, the president's office was covered in dark clouds. The entire company was trembling with fear. No one dared to speak too much, afraid of angering the tyrant president.

Seeing Mother Wu bring the fruit over, Lisa paused for a moment and did not continue.

Mother Wu added tea to Lisa's cup and turned to ask Su Mo, "Miss, do you want the guest to stay for a meal?"

"Yes," Su Mo said, nodding.

However, Lisa said that she still had something to do and could not stay for a meal. She knew that she could not stay here for too long.

Although Lisa could not help Su Mo persuade Xiao Nanye to let her out, she could help Su Mo send messages out.

At the thought of this, Su Mo's heart lit up again. She quickly pulled Lisa's hand and said, "Lisa, can you do me a favor? I can't get out now, but I have one thing to do."

Lisa nodded, seemingly considering that this was not a betrayal of the boss. "Alright, go ahead," she said.

Su Mo said, "I'm looking for someone. His name is Leo. Almost two and a half months ago, he went missing in the child charity house in Marseilles. I can't get out. Can you help me tell Lu Shaoqi and ask her to help me find the child?"

Lisa could never have imagined that Su Mo went to Marseilles to find someone, and the person was a missing orphan.

Su Mo continued, "You can't let Xiao Nanye know about this. Lisa, you are the only one who can help me now. Please!"

When Lisa left Yu Garden, she received a call and drove to S Clubhouse.

"President." Lisa met Xiao Nanye in the private room.

As he saw her come in, Xiao Nanye's expression did not change. He casually pointed to the sofa opposite him. "Here you are! Sit down."
