treating Huo Xi with such tenderness! She felt a twinge of sadness, her eyes slightly moist.Ho Shaoting suddenly raised his eyes and saw her disheveled state...Wen Man whispered, "I'm going to buy a...Things didn't go as planned, Zhang's secretary's flight had a malfunction and was delayed.

She called Huo Shaoting in the waiting area, but Huo Shaoting turned off his phone during the trial.

He didn't receive a message from Zhang's secretary until after the midday court hearing ended. He furrowed his brow in thought.

His client, Mr. Lin's, assistant came over and said very respectfully: "Mr. Huo, our Mr. Lin would like to invite you to have a meal."

Ho Shaoting put away his phone and smiled faintly: "Thank your Lin Dong for me! I won't have dinner, I have important matters to deal with back in the city."

As they were speaking, Mr. Lin arrived.

A businessman in his forties, with a refined appearance, shook hands warmly with Huo Shaoting and said, "Brother Huo, your performance in the court is impressive. Since you have important matters to attend to, I won't keep you! When you come back to the city next time, please let me show you around."

"Certainly." Huo Shaoting was a gentleman.

Lin always values him, and let his driver take Huo Shaoting to the airport... Zhang's secretary delayed for half a day and simply went back on the same flight with Huo Shaoting.

Before the plane took off, Ho Shaoting called Wen Man's phone again.

Still off!

He frowned, guessing that something must have happened!

city.

Wen Man spent the whole day at home.

Aunt Ruan's emotions were unstable, she had been with her for a long time.

In the evening, she cooked a meal and served it to Aunt Ruan. While eating, Wen Man softly said: "I'm going to meet a friend in a while, introduced by Bai Wei. She should be able to help."

Aunt Ruan suspected it.

Wen Man grasped her hand. "Really! Aunt Ruan, I want to try."

Perhaps Wen Man disguised herself too well, and Aunt Ruan believed her.

After dinner, Wen Man went back to her room and pulled out a large box. She took out an album from inside. Gently flipping it open, there was a picture of her mother when she was young.

Wen Man gently stroked.

Her mother passed away when she was ten years old. A year later, her father married Aunt Ruan. Wen Man remembered that her father and Aunt Ruan often argued back then. One time, Aunt Ruan cried very hard, accusing him of being so good to other children and even refusing to have a child of their own.

That time, Xiaowen Man knew she wasn't biologically her parents'. She was afraid, afraid that she would suddenly be abandoned. When her father and Aunt Ruan weren't fighting, she would act coquettishly and say that she wanted a younger brother or sister.

But Aunt Ruan has never gotten pregnant!

She deeply loved Wen Boyan and raised Wen Man. Later, she was also quite good to Wen Man. How could Wen Man bear to let such a woman go to jail for ten or eight years

A tear fell on the photograph, Wen Man hurriedly wiped it gently away.

At the door, Aunt Ruan saw it.

Her eyes darkened, and she said in a voice as gentle as she could muster, "Didn't you make plans to meet someone Just tidy up a bit before going out."

Wen Man closed the photo album and put it away.

She got up, changed into a new outfit, and just before going out the door, she couldn't help but hug Aunt Ruan.

Auntie Ruan's heart was uneasy.

But when Wen Man raised her eyes, there was a faint smile on her lips. She said that Bai Wei's people were very capable and Gu Changqing should give face, so then Ruan aunt let her go.

Wen Man gently closed the door behind her, leaning against it for a long while in stunned silence.

She betrayed herself like that!

It was already dusk outside, the clouds ablaze with red hues at the horizon, magnificent yet melancholic.

Wen Man quietly looked for a long time, then turned and got on the bus.

When I arrived at Gu Changqing's villa, it was already 8 p.m. Gu Changqing was wearing a three-piece suit and sitting on the sofa drinking, with the crystal chandelier above casting a luxurious glow, making his handsome face even more stunning!

If it had been before, Wen Man would have been smitten. Now, she only feels disgust.

Gu Changqing's voice was hoarse: "Where did you go I called you all day!"scolded Lu Shuo while personally preparing food for Little Lu You: "It's all your irresponsible brother's fault that our Little Lu You isn't getting enough to eat! In the future, don't learn from him....
