Chapter 55: Rivals Meet, Eyes Gleam Redly

.This reunion dinner, everyone ate in some silence....Ho Shao-ting and Wen Man sat together, but the two were very awkward.One that can't be remembered.Another, because he forgets but cannot let go.Af...Wen Man's expression was stunned.

Ho Shao-ting gently put his arm around her shoulder and said very naturally, "How did you get wine into a coffee shop"

Wen Man's mood inexplicably improved.

She didn't hide it from him, and whispered: "I met someone I knew and chatted with them for a few minutes."

Ho Shaoting's dark eyes stared at her, then shifted to the "acquaintance" behind her, his tone neither cold nor warm: "It's Changqing!"

Compared to his calmness, Gu Changqing seemed much more tense.

He's not stupid, he can tell that Huo Shaoting dislikes him, and it's not just because of Mingzhu, there must also be Wen Man involved!

Two men stared at each other, sparks flying in the air.

Wen Man gently took Huo Shaoting's arm, whispering, "Let's go back!"

Huo Shaoting retracted his gaze and nodded.

But just then, Mother Gu came out of the coffee shop and greeted him warmly: “It’s Shao Ting!”

She seemed to have just realized that Wen Man was with him and said in surprise, "Wen Man, how come you're with Shaoting Didn't you used to be with our Changqing"

She suddenly stopped speaking, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

The effect is amazing. An ordinary man would probably take out his anger on Wen Man, but what kind of person is Huo Shaoting How could he be controlled by a woman with such deep scheming

He tossed his laptop bag to Wen Man, then pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

When lighting a cigarette, he casually said, "Longqing has been in love I heard from Mingzhu that Gu Longqing's first love was her"

Oh!

Mrs. Gu looked at her son, her face unnatural. She quickly tried to cover for him: "I meant that Wen Man's father is an accountant for the Gu Corporation."

"Is that so" Huo Shaoting slowly exhaled a smoke ring and brushed ash off his cigarette. "I thought Changqing had talked to Wen Man but abandoned her in the end, making him a heartless man!"

Mrs. Gu's face was almost lost in shame.

At this, Gu Changqing spoke softly, "Brother, you're thinking too much! I've never had any past with Miss Wen, nor will there be any future."

Ho Shao-ting smiled.

He rubbed Wen Man's hair with his hand that was holding a cigarette, "Then I can rest assured!"

Wen Man thought he was quite a jerk, but he saved her from embarrassment.

She looked up at him.

Ho Shao-ting was naturally handsome, and his every move exuded mature confidence. Wen Man's eyes couldn't help but soften with a touch of feminine tenderness.

Gu Changqing had spent four years with her, he knew her eyes better than anyone else.

Wen Man likes Huo Shaoting.

Gu Changqing stood straight, and he said to his mother in a calm tone, "Let's go!"

Mother Gu looked conflicted as she pulled Gu Jingjing away. Gu Jingjing was unwilling and, after getting in the car, she flew into a rage: "Mom, why didn't we expose Wen Man Brother Huo is our family's in-law, isn't he He must be on our side!"

Mrs. Gu told her to be quiet.

Mrs. Gu sneered, "Do you think being related by marriage means you're equals Have you seen Huo Shaoting's attitude If he doesn't agree, your brother and Huo Mingzhu's marriage might not even happen."

Gu Jingjing was stunned.

Gu's mother no longer paid attention to her, but turned to her son: "Changqing, you should know how important this marriage is! No matter how you play outside, you cannot touch Wen Man."

Gu Changqing sat in the driver's seat, he remained silent.

Knowing he was strong-willed, Gu's mother didn't say anything more. She believed Changqing could tell right from wrong.

Besides, he hadn't been particularly fond of Wen Man for the four years they had been together. This time, he was just a little uncomfortable. He would gradually forget about it after getting married. As for Wen Man and Mr. Huo, that was absolutely impossible to end in marriage.ere's Shaoting"Mrs. Huo's face clouded with displeasure.Wen Man urged again.Mrs. Huo gently covered her with a blanket and told her the truth: "Shaoting went to the mountains to see Master QingShui!"I...
