121 Where love is, there money is.

Pei Yan's words were rough but reasonable, but Huo Yanxi's expression darkened, becoming even more unpleasant than before.

"So I can't possibly humiliate her with money."

Pei Yan was so angry he laughed. "I think Teacher Xie would love for you to humiliate her with money."

Huo Yanxi: "Is it really not possible?"

Pei Yan tapped the table. "Take note: Where love is, money is."

Huo Yanxi felt sullen. "If she's only staying with me for money, what about my sincere feelings?"

"If she doesn't even care about your money, what's the use of your sincerity?"

Huo Yanxi was speechless after being asked that question.

Pei Yan said, "Keep her here first, and then use your sincerity to win her over. Whether she's after you for your money or for you as a person, it'll be a win-win situation for you."

Huo Yanxi's expression was solemn. "Let me think about it carefully."

Pei Yan gave an OK sign and turned to leave, but was stopped by Huo Yanxi.

"Is Attorney Liang coming to the company today to discuss the asset restructuring project?"

Pei Yan nodded, "Yes."

"After the meeting, have him come up to me. I need to talk to him."

Keeping Liang Zhen under their noses was for the purpose of better controlling him.

Pei Yan: "Understood."

Not long after Pei Yan left, Huo Yanxi called Uncle Jian and gave him a few instructions.

After class, Xie Yaoyao started packing her luggage.

She planned to leave with Xie Ziyu and return to their new home after Huo Zidu finished all his classes for the day.

In the past two days, she asked someone to help her move all her belongings from the old tenement building to her new home.

Once this matter is resolved, they will be able to move into their own sunroom.

After lunch.

People started arriving at the villa one after another. At first, it was clothing brands that brought over a lot of clothes.

Uncle Jian asked her to go out and collect the gifts.

The clothes were all matched to Xie Yaoyao's current size, as she has recently lost another 20 pounds.

Huo Yanxi's grueling training was truly effective; her body became much firmer, and her chin became more defined.

She was horrified every time she looked in the mirror.

In particular, Huo Yanxi's gaze has been lingering on her for longer and longer periods lately.

She felt that her disguise was about to fall apart, and that it was in danger of being exposed at any moment.

This is also the biggest reason why she can no longer stay here.

Upon seeing the sets of brand-new, expensive clothes, Xie Yaoyao said, "These clothes are too valuable; I cannot accept them."

Uncle Jian smiled and said, "Teacher Xie, you've worked hard these past two months. Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

Xie Yaoyao declined repeatedly, but Uncle Jian simply let the person leave.

She reluctantly accepted it, but couldn't help wondering what Huo Yanxi was doing.

Do you want to use sweet talk to seduce her?

Just as she put the clothes back in her room, Uncle Jian came to call for someone again, this time it was a high-end jewelry delivery from a jewelry brand.

Seeing the diamond's brilliance, Xie Yaoyao knew it wasn't cheap, and she dared not accept it.

"Uncle Jian, what does President Huo mean by this?"

"These are all Fifth Master's kind gestures, so please don't refuse, Teacher Xie, please accept them."

Xie Yaoyao: "..."

Huo Yanxi has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it, so why not just give it to her in cash?

She doesn't lack jewelry, nor does she have anywhere to wear those expensive things, but she lacks money.

Cash out would be so much better!

With such a wonderful boss, she could work for him for a lifetime.

Seeing that she had accepted it, Uncle Jian quickly called Huo Yanxi to report.

At that time, Liang Zhen was in Huo Yanxi's office.

When Huo Yanxi saw the phone screen light up, he gestured for Liang Zhen to wait a moment and answered the call in front of him.

Uncle Jian said, "Fifth Master, Teacher Xie has accepted all the gifts you sent."

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanxi looked at Liang Zhen calmly, "Attorney Liang, the asset restructuring project isn't too difficult, is it?"

Liang Zhen felt it was very difficult, but on the surface he still had to pretend that everything was under control.

"It's alright, Mr. Huo, please rest assured, I will do my best."

Huo Yanxi chatted with him about the project for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

He even personally refilled Liang Zhen's cup with tea, which made Liang Zhen feel incredibly flattered.

"Mr. Huo, let me do it."

Huo Yanxi moved the teapot aside and continued to refill his tea.

"I believe in Attorney Liang's abilities and I'm sure he can give me a satisfactory result."

Liang Zhen smiled warmly, as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Huo Yanxi changed the subject, "Teacher Xie will be leaving my house after class today. Does Attorney Liang know about this?"

Attorney Liang certainly knew.

Xie Yaoyao had called him several times to discuss getting a divorce certificate in Shenzhen.

Having just tasted success with Huo Yanxi, he was unwilling to release the man now.

Xie Yaoyao is his ladder to success.

“I know, Yao Yao told me.”

Huo Yanxi nodded slightly. "I heard that Attorney Liang is currently renting an apartment?"

"Yes, I live in a three-bedroom apartment. Once Yao Yao finishes her work at President Huo's house, she will move in with me."

Huo Yanxi lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the tea leaves floating in the teapot. "But as far as I know, Teacher Xie bought a house of his own and has no intention of living with Attorney Liang."

Liang Zhen's face stiffened, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists without him noticing.

“We’ve been separated for five years since we got married, so she might not be used to us living together.”

Huo Yanxi lifted his eyelids, his cold gaze fixed on Liang Zhen. "Attorney Liang, I also know that Teacher Xie is planning to divorce you, isn't that right?"

Liang Zhen pressed her lips tightly together.

He felt like a sieve, leaking air everywhere, and Huo Yanxi saw right through him.

At the same time, his pride made him very angry.

Why does Xie Yaoyao tell Huo Yanxi everything? What does she take him for?

Are you so afraid that he'll benefit from her fame that you're in such a hurry to sever ties with him?

Huo Yanxi wasn't in a hurry. He slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip, and waited for Liang Zhen to speak.

After weighing the options several times, Liang Zhen said, "That's true, but I don't plan to divorce Yao Yao."

“It’s not easy for her to raise a child alone in a foreign country. Now that I’m back in China, I can’t let them suffer any longer.”

If Huo Yanxi hadn't already investigated Liang Zhen, he would have applauded his words.

He said, "Since Ms. Xie is planning to get a divorce, it means she doesn't intend to stay with you. Why should Attorney Liang force her to do something she doesn't want to do?"

Liang Zhen had always felt that Huo Yanxi was giving Xie Yaoyao special treatment, but Xie Yaoyao's figure made it impossible for him to think about romantic feelings between them.

After all, even he, looking at Xie Yaoyao, would find it difficult to feel any desire for her.

But at this moment, he doubted his own judgment.

Could it be that Huo Yanxi has seen too many women of all shapes and sizes, and actually prefers Xie Yaoyao, this special type?

"What does Mr. Huo mean by this?"

Huo Yanxi didn't want to beat around the bush with him. "Attorney Liang is a smart man. I don't need to explain myself more clearly. I just hope that Teacher Xie can get what he wants."
