Chapter 224: Three Years Later, How Are You Doing?
ged from the hospital and still lives in her old apartment building because she's used to it and it holds memories of Wen Boyan.Ho Shaoting coaxed her, "We're picking up Ho Xi tonight and having dinne...Three years later.
Wen Man and Jiang Sheng walked out of the airport.
At the exit, Zhou Muyan swayed his long legs. Seeing them come out, he immediately took off his sunglasses and hugged Jiang Sheng, kissing her fiercely.
Jiang Sheng's face flushed instantly.
Wen Man was quite helpless.
Jiang Sheng is only 19 years old, Zhou Muyan is really a beast!
Over the past few years, Zhou Muyan has been in charge of the music center. Perhaps inheriting Zhou Chuanren's genes, she has expanded the music center to the city and made it flourish.
He tricked his way into getting Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Rui, knowing this, beat Zhou Muyan, the playboy, half to death! Later, to everyone's surprise, after Zhou Muyan got together with Jiang Sheng, he quit drinking and socializing, becoming a model boyfriend.
Jiang Sheng goes to Switzerland every month.
……
Wen Man returned to the city mainly because Aunt Ruan's leg injury recurred and she needed treatment and recuperation in the city.
She invested in several French restaurants and occasionally went to play the piano.
A mature, beautiful and economically independent woman naturally attracts many suitors.
But Wen Man felt nothing...
……
West Asia Group.
A 68-story building, the top floor, the CEO's office.
He Shao-ting sat behind a wooden desk, bending over to review documents. The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind him illuminated his entire figure, making him appear more three-dimensional and handsome, like a deity.
Zhang the secretary pushed the door open.
She looked at her boss, sighing at the favoritism Heaven showed him.
A man at the age of 33 is truly a year worth savoring, every aspect exudes the charm of a mature man. Women would line up from east to west city just for a chance to be with Mr. Huo.
Ms. Zhang gently placed a paper bag on the table.
Ho Shao-ting stopped writing and picked up the package to open it.
Secretary Zhang coughed lightly: "Wen Man is back!"
Huo Shaoting was clearly startled.
He looked up at Zhang's secretary, his voice slightly dry: "She's back"
Ms. Zhang seemed quite stressed, she just hummed and said, “Yes, I’m back! Because of her aunt's leg injury, we might stay in the city for a while.”
Ho Shaoting did not ask any further.
He opened the brown paper bag.
Inside are photos of Zhou Muyan and Wen Man. They aren't very close, but it's enough to make him feel jealous.
He knew Zhou Muyan went to Switzerland every month.
And in those three years, he never went there once.
Because of Hosi, he couldn't leave, and he didn't dare to disturb her easily!
For three years, he could only ease his longing through photos, but every time, he had to include Zhou Muyan...and Jiang Rui's sister! (Jiang Sheng: Am I not even worthy of a name)
Zhang's secretary could tell that her boss was jealous!
She nonchalantly placed a wedding invitation back down: "Mr. Jing and Bai Wei's four-year anniversary banquet, I heard it's going to be quite grand!"
Ho Shao-ting smiled faintly: "This couple!"
Ms. Zhang smiled, "Wen Man is going too!"
Ho Shao-ting immediately felt that the invitation was very valuable. He held it in his hand, examining it casually while saying, "You've been working with me for several years now, your salary and benefits should be reviewed! ... By the way, is your birthday next month Go pick yourself a gift at the mall and get reimbursed by finance later!"
Ms. Zhang beamed with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Huo!"
To reward herself, she treated herself to a hefty 160,000 necklace! She went from a legal professional to a ruthless businesswoman, it was well deserved.
Zhang the secretary left.
After about 10 minutes, he trembled and pulled out a cigarette, lighting it.
He inhaled sharply, then closed his eyes softly.
She's finally back...
*** Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Saturday evening.
Jingchen and Baiwei's wedding anniversary banquet.
Wen Man makes her first appearance.
She hadn't seen Bai Wei in a long time, so they hugged each other when she arrived.
Bai Wei pulled Wen Man closer, scrutinizing her carefully. She had recovered well, still slender and delicate, but with a touch more maturity than before, making her even more captivating.
Bai Wei's eyes were filled with tears: "You naughty child! Running so far!"
Wen Man smiled faintly: "Not going anywhere for now!"
Bai Wei burst into laughter and said, "If you run any further, I'll break your legs!"
Just as they were talking, Jingchen came over, with their son Jingrui in his hand. Little Jingrui was already five years old, in kindergarten's middle class. He was strong and sturdy, looking quite a tiger cub.
Jingchen asked his son to call someone.
Jingrui is very well-behaved, Wenman likes him a lot and even brought a gift.
Bai Wei saw her loving look and quietly advised, "You love children so much, and there are so many people pursuing you, yet you don't seem to be moved!"
Wen Man smiled faintly: "No fate!"
Bai Wei was just about to speak when there was a commotion at the door...
Wen Man naturally looked over, and then she froze.
It's Huo Shaoting!
Obviously, Huo Shaoting also saw her. Their eyes met, and it seemed as if everything around them vanished.
For an ordinary divorced couple, three years would be enough to make everything fade away.
But they had children, and it was so terrible, how could they easily forget
In the end, it was Wen Man who came to her senses first. She gave him a faint smile and then turned to enter the ballroom.
Ho Shao-ting's eyes were deep and penetrating.
He stared at her back, greedily... Wen Man was different from before!
He really wanted to pretend to chat with her casually, but they weren't at the same table. He was sitting among the business tycoons Jingchen had painstakingly invited, and Huo Shaoting absentmindedly entertained and did business with them.
He just kept staring at Wen Man.
Wen Man regretted coming a little.
She didn't expect to run into Huo Shaoting so soon. Seeing him, she would always be reminded of some unpleasant past events.
She was somewhat silent all night.
She also knew he was looking at her, and she deliberately ignored him.
Later, Zhou Muyan came to find her on business. The banquet hall was too noisy, so Zhou Muyan leaned into her ear and said a few words.
Wen Man considered for a moment and agreed with his approach.
Zhou Muyan smiled and left.
The commotion here hadn't escaped Huo Shaoting's notice. Watching the little wolfdog be so intimate with her, he felt a surge of jealousy. However, there was nothing he could do about it.
Someone beside him was urging him to drink, "Shaoting, what's wrong with you tonight You haven't had a single drop of alcohol yet! ... Come on, are you afraid of getting drunk and causing trouble Are you guarding yourself like jade"
Ho Shaoting chuckled softly, "I drove myself here. Mr. Lin, please forgive me!"
Lin is the general manager of a six-star hotel. He saw Wen Man just now and guessed what he was thinking.
He lowered his voice: "Is little brother back"
Ho Shaoting let out a soft hum.
Lin felt that he was miserable, having drunk several glasses of red wine to cheer him up: "Shaoting, just for your monk-like private life, I think your sister-in-law will be moved! ... Hey, where did your sister-in-law go"
Ho Shao-ting hurriedly chased after him.
Wen Man did indeed leave early.
Bai Wei said there was a private gathering later, Wen Man didn't really want to go, so she declined.
She took the elevator to the first floor of the hotel.
In the parking lot, a black RV was waiting for her.
The driver saw her get out and opened the car door for her.
Wen Man was just about to get in the car when someone gently held the door. She looked up and saw Huo Shao Ting's handsome face right before her. He spoke, his voice low and mellow like red wine: "Wen Man, can we find a place to talk"
Wen Man hesitated.
She didn't want to reminisce with him, but she knew Huo Shaoting. If she refused, he would make the driver beside him watch the show.
Weighing her options, she pointed to the cafe across the street. "Let's grab a coffee there!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked ahead.
Huo Shaoting knew she wanted to keep her distance, not giving him a chance to even think about it. He didn't pressure her, so he just followed behind her at an easy pace, lighting a cigarette as he walked.
He stubbed out his cigarette when he reached the cafe across the street.
A bright coffee shop.
Wen Man ordered a cup of Martini. She stirred it gently and said politely, "How have things been these past few years I heard you founded the West Asia Group and are doing very well!"
The West Asia Group, after three years of effort, has reached the top ten in Asia.
Market cap billions!
Wen Man took a sip of coffee: " Huo Shaoting, you always do everything so well!"
Ho Shao-ting's gaze was much more straightforward than hers.
Since he sat down, his eyes never left her face, like a machine gun, listening to her words, he smiled lightly: "Is that so Are you good at everything"
Wen Man was a little taken aback!
Her ears were slightly flushed, and then her attitude turned cold: "I have to go!"
Ho Shao-ting was a little regretful.
His gentlemanly retention, his voice softened: "It's my fault! Let me say a few more words! Wen Man... why don't you ask about my emotional life these past few years"
Wen Man didn't want to ask.
She silently paid for the coffee and walked ahead.
A cup of coffee, for divorced couples, is enough.
Ho Shao-ting chased after her: “I’ll send you!”
Wen Man stopped her steps.
Under the sky full of neon lights, she looked up at him.
He was still handsome, even more attractive than before, but after three years they were actually strangers to each other.
He missed her, but Wen Man had slowly forgotten him, fading away over these three years!
Wen Man spoke softly, "I can tell you really desire marriage now, Huo Shaoting… find a good woman to marry! What happened between us is over, and I… can't stay in the past forever."
Speaking of these things, she finally remembered the pain.
Wen Man turned and quickly left.
Ho Shaoting stood in the night, silently watching her.
Across the way, her driver was waiting for her. It was someone Lu Qian had chosen for her. Now that she was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, everything was the best. She didn't need to attend social events and lived a carefree life, which was very comfortable.
She did, and she didn't need to look back…om.An Ran softly said, "You should go back first!"Ho Yunsi was only wearing a very small towel around her waist, holding a pair of trousers in her hand, and said, "My clothes are all wet, what am I su...
