Chapter 132 Getting Worse

Lu Wan hesitated to speak.

Huo Beiting frowned slightly, "Did your father make things difficult for you?"

"I wouldn't say it's difficult. In fact, my relationship with my father has always been quite distant, but after this incident, it has become even more distant."

Lu Wan tried her best to put on an indifferent smile, but the more she looked at him, the more bitter she felt.

In this matter, it was her stepmother and sister who bullied her first.

She originally thought that her father might say a few fair words.

Who knew that after that day, her father never contacted her again.

A few days ago, she tried to call her father for something, but the call went nowhere.

Her father must have blocked her.

Fortunately, she had already known that her family had never liked her, so she just blocked them.

She is living well outside.

Huo Beiting seemed to not know what to say for a moment.

But there was a hint of heartache in the look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Wan.

After the heartache, there seems to be a sense of sadness that I can empathize with.

Gu Nanyue and Shen Boyan came to find Xiao Mumu, and their eyes stopped at the distance at the same time.

Gu Nanyan looked at the well-matched two people from afar, turned around and glanced at Shen Boyan with a smile.

Shen Boyan didn't say anything, he took her hand and walked back.

Gu Nanyan couldn't help but ask, "My family is urging me to have a second child? How come I didn't know about it?"

Even Chu Yan knew about it.

"Don't worry about it. The old lady likes Xiao Mumu and has always wanted us to have more children. But whether to have children or not is not decided by her or me. The decision is in your hands." Shen Boyan held Gu Nanyan's hand tighter.

"wrong."

Gu Nanyue turned her head and looked at him thoughtfully, "I know that grandma has this intention, but it is just our own family matter behind closed doors. How come Chu Yan knows about it now?"

Shen Boyan paused slightly.

He turned his gaze and looked at Gu Nanyue seriously, "Second Uncle's family is a bit worrying right now. But no matter what they do, it's useless."

Gu Nanyue guessed that this matter was not that simple.

She sighed, "Grandma doesn't want me to get involved in the business, right? Without Grandma's tacit approval, how dare they talk nonsense outside?"

Although Old Mrs. Shen has always complained that her second son is useless, she is still a friend to him.

Over the years, the second son's family has always been supported by the old lady.

Even though the second son has no share in Shen's enterprise now, it's not because the old lady is unfair, but because when the old lady divided the enterprise into two, the second son squandered his share.

If it weren't for the ability of Boyan's father, the Shen family would have declined long ago.

When the company first came into Bo Yan's hands, it was nothing like what it is now.

Shen's enterprise is what it is today because of Bo Yan's hard work.

He has nothing to do with his second uncle's family.

But the old lady probably still wanted to give some of the company's shares to her second uncle's family.

She now thought that the old lady was so nice to her, and she might also be trying to win her over.

Unexpectedly, Bo Yan gave her shares in the company and also gave her the position of vice president.

The old lady must feel that she is no longer worrying.

"You don't have to think so much. What we do is our business. They have no right to interfere."

Shen Boyan raised his hand and rubbed Gu Nanyan's fair little face lovingly.

Gu Nanyue also laughed immediately.

In other words, only if you are strong enough can you have the confidence to say such things.

No matter what the old house thinks, it is enough as long as Bo Yan protects her.

In fact, her joining Shen's Enterprise was just an introduction. She has never been the type of person who relies on a man to take care of her husband and children at home.

She is ambitious.

Now it was just a way for the Shen family to see her ambition in advance.

The servants set up a delicious table in the house again.

All the unfinished wine was moved into the house.

The air conditioner is on in the room, and it's much cooler than outside.

After everyone sat down, Ji Mingyu started by teasing Huo Beiting, "It seems like you two have been engaged for some time. When are you getting married?"

Speaking of this, Lu Wan's expression suddenly froze.

"After drinking Mr. Shen's wine this time, I'm afraid he won't welcome me to drink again for a while. I think next time, I should drink Mr. Huo's wedding wine."

Ji Mingyu certainly wouldn't have dared to tease Huo Beiting before.

But the two of them were seen together today, and it seemed like something was going on.

The wedding shouldn't be far away, right?

Seeing this, Tang Ci also smiled and asked, "Haven't you set a wedding date yet?"

But he knew that the two of them had started dating in private.

The last time he was eating out, he accidentally ran into the two of them.

Huo Beiting picked up a wine glass and shook it gently, but didn't say anything.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the table was at a stalemate.

Ji Mingyu seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly looked at Gu Nanyue, "Where has Miss Song been? You should give her fewer things to do and let her come and have a few more drinks."

"Teacher Song is drunk and has gone to rest. I can't force him to come over."

Gu Nanyue just evaded the question.

He looked at Huo Beiting and Lu Wan with a slightly complicated gaze.

Still no progress between the two?

However, their situation is rather special.

Huo Beiting's parents are both deceased.

Wanwan also has a bad relationship with her family.

If we really want to have a wedding, I don’t know how many relatives from both sides will show up.

When the drinking was finished, Ji Mingyu was the first to get drunk.

Gu Nanyue also couldn't understand why he, who loved drinking the most, had the worst alcohol tolerance.

Is this what it means to be a foodie?

Lu Wan didn't drive after all, and ended up taking Huo Beiting's car back.

Gu Nanyan sent her to the car, and watching Huo Beiting's car go away, she couldn't help but look back at Shen Boyan.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Boyan just felt that her eyes were a little strange.

"It's okay, I just feel that Huo Beiting is not as good as you in some aspects."

Gu Nanyue thought about the progress between herself and Shen Boyan, and she felt that it was quite fast.

But there seemed to be no further relationship between Huo Beiting and Wanwan.

But she could see that the two of them must have some feelings for each other.

Wanwan is no longer afraid of Huo Beiting now.

"Hmm? In which aspects?" Chen Boyan pretended not to understand. His slender, porcelain-white fingers lifted up the strands of hair by Gu Nanyue's ears and gently tucked them behind her ears.

But when his fingers touched Gu Nanyue's ear, Gu Nanyue only felt a tingling sensation.

Gu Nanyue grabbed his hand and deliberately tiptoed closer to him, "I find that you are getting worse and worse."

The couple were as sweet as honey, and there was silence in the Bentley as it drove away.

"I want to add a painting to my office. Please pick a time and send one to me."

In the end, it was Huo Beiting, who was usually not good at speaking, who spoke first.

"Oh, OK." Lu Wan agreed first, then she thought of something, "Mr. Huo, which one do you like?"

He had previously... been to an exhibition of his own paintings.

Do you have any favorites?

"Can you specify?" Huo Beiting was silent for a few seconds, turned his head and looked at Lu Wan seriously and asked.

Lu Wan nodded affirmatively.

"If you can, draw a picture of yourself and give it to me."

Huo Beiting was serious, while Lu Wan opened her eyes slightly wide in fear.

He wants to hang her on the wall of his office?
