For many years of marriage, Hua Shang could never warm the hearts of her husband and son. More than a wife and mother, she was more like a nanny.
It wasn't until she returned to Jincheng ...
Shen Changmin narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Mu.
Before, whenever he mentioned the engagement between the two families, Qi Mu would just become impatient and avoid it.
"Qi Mu, you haven't changed your mind and don't want to cancel the engagement, have you?"
Ever since his contacts with Hua Chang became more frequent, he became less and less willing to see Hua Chang and Qi Mu get married.
The Shen family doesn't need to rely on marriage alliances.
Furthermore, they had finally found Hua Chang, so of course they should do everything they could to make up for the debt they owed to Hua Chang over the years.
Qi Mu did not answer, but looked at the turmoil in Shen Changmin's eyes with interest.
Shen Changmin seems to hope that he will cancel the engagement?
Qi Mu raised his thin lips in a subtle arc: "I haven't seen Miss Shen for so long, do you have any photos?"
Shen Changmin opened his lips and frowned: "Aren't you not interested in my sister?"
"I'm suddenly curious." Qi Mu's eyes flashed with a playful look: "Compared to Miss Shen and Miss Hua, who is better?"
Shen Changmin looked puzzled.
Isn't this the same person? How can they be compared?
Could it be that... Qi Mu still doesn't know that Hua Shang is his sister?
Shen Changmin immediately felt like teasing her: "Who do you think is better?"
Seeing Qi Mu silent, Shen Changmin imagined how Qi Mu would react when he found out that Hua Shang was his fiancée one day.
…
Bo Group, President's Office.
"Are you serious? Mr. Shen agreed to attend the business dinner?"
Bo Yunyan looked at Su Mengli with a gentle expression, and his tone was gentler than ever before.
"Of course it's true." Su Mengli raised the corner of her mouth and waved her hand disapprovingly: "You don't know how much effort I put into meeting Mr. Shen. Fortunately, this project was handed over to me. If it was Sister Hua Shang, I'm afraid she would repeat the mistakes of the Li family."
Hearing the word "Hua Shang", Bo Yunyan couldn't help but frown.
It was because he indulged Hua Shang too much that she became lawless and arrogant.
She has changed and is no longer the Hua Shang of the past.
"I divorced her."
Bo Yunyan spoke calmly, his tone was calm, as if divorce was as normal to him as drinking water.
Su Mengli was secretly delighted.
Hua Shang is really a waste. She can't even grasp a good man like Bo Yunyan.
Then don't blame her for taking over.
At this moment, Bo Yunyan suddenly said, "Tomorrow night's business dinner, you will be my female companion as usual."
Su Mengli was startled when she heard this and deliberately evaded the question: "Brother Yunyan, why don't you ask Sister Huashang if she's willing? Maybe we can use this opportunity to ease the relationship."
"No need, just you." Bo Yunyan took out a bank card and handed it to Su Mengli: "Use it to buy a dress."
Su Mengli tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth and reluctantly took the bank card: "Then I won't be polite to you."
At the same time, Hua Chang picked up Zi Ning from school and took her back to the apartment.
As soon as I entered the living room, I noticed a figure sitting on the sofa.
"Auntie Li!" Bo Zining jumped into Li Ye's arms.
Hua Chang raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Why did you come here without telling me?"
"Isn't this a surprise for you?" Li Ye took out two documents and placed them on the table while stroking Zi Ning's head. "I found out that someone has been investigating me recently. The private detective was photographed by my people."
After a pause, Li Ye asked speculatively, "Could it be sent by the client to whom you mailed the contract?"
Hua Chang's expression became serious.
Countless people have investigated her over the years, but fortunately she is cautious and low-key.
If we are found, we will be in big trouble.
"Not sure, why don't you move in with me for a few days?" Hua Shang suggested.
She was worried that the people investigating her would find out that Li Ye was not a designer and would deliberately make things difficult for Li Ye in order to get her identity out of him.
Li Ye waved his hand, not taking the other person seriously: "The Li family's bodyguards are not vegetarians. If you miss me, just tell me directly. Why are you beating around the bush to let me stay?"
Hua Chang's mouth twitched, and she did not respond to Li Ye's nonsense, but picked up another document.
Inside were two invitations.
Seeing the two words "Bo Shi" deliberately gilded, a trace of disgust flashed across Hua Chang's beautiful eyes.
Just throw the invitation back into the file bag.
"The old man insisted that I attend your ex-husband's crappy dinner party. It would be boring for me to go alone. You should come with me."
Li Ye didn't give Hua Shang any chance to refuse: "It's decided. I've picked out the dress for you. You'll be stunning and blind the eyes of 'Bo Gou' when you wear it."
When Shen Changmin invited her to a dinner party today, she refused.
But the person invited was Li Ye...
Li Ye has helped her a lot over the years.
Hua Chang's lips curled slightly, and her tone was a little more doting: "Okay."
Just as she agreed, Hua Chang's cell phone rang.
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Hua Chang didn't want to pay attention to it.
Li Ye leaned closer with a curious look on his face: "Why didn't you answer? Could it be 'Bo Gou' calling?"
"Maybe." Hua Chang responded casually.
Unexpectedly, Li Ye became even more excited about this: "Why not take it? I want to see what ivory he can spit out of his dog's mouth."
After saying that, Li Ye answered the call before the ringing ended and pressed the hands-free button.
Bo Yunyan's voice came from the loudspeaker: "If you come to the Bo family's business dinner tomorrow night as my female companion, I can write off everything we did before. If you don't come, don't blame me for bringing someone else this time."
Hua Chang's eyes paused slightly.
Whenever the Bo family held a business dinner, Bo Yunyan would use the excuse that Su Mengli was more sociable than her to put her off and ask her to stay at home and watch him take Su Mengli to the dinner.
Why would he come to ask for her opinion this time?
"Bo Yunyan, have you ever heard the saying, 'Belated affection is cheaper than grass?'"
Seeing Hua Chang didn't refute, Li Ye immediately got angry and snatched Hua Chang's phone away: "Who wants to be your female companion? You just give things that no one wants. Only your female brother is eager to grab it."
After saying that, Li Ye hung up the phone.
There was a hint of heartache in his eyes as he looked at Hua Chang.
Guessing that Li Ye wanted to speak to comfort her, Hua Chang smiled indifferently: "I'm fine, I've already gotten over these things."
Li Ye pursed his lips, but ultimately said nothing.
Her best friend has always been strong.
On the other side, Bo Yunyan's face turned green after Li Ye hung up the phone.
Su Mengli, who was standing next to Bo Yunyan, had an equally grim expression on her face. "This Miss Li is so vulgar, isn't she? Sister Hua Shang has been with her for so long, maybe she's led her astray."
Bo Yunyan remained silent, thinking about what Li Ye said in his mind.
Why is it called... belated affection?
Did Hua Chang really give up on him?
Bo Yunyan felt inexplicably flustered and had a sense of loss.
"Brother Yunyan, Hua Shang allowed Miss Li to say that. It's obvious that she doesn't take you seriously."
Su Mengli pretended to be standing up for Bo Yunyan: "I understand women better than you do. She is just playing hard to get and getting ahead of herself. Don't give her any more excuses. She will regret it sooner or later!"
