Chen Manzi clenched the strap of her bag tightly, her knuckles throbbing from the force.
The woman who was once as proud as a peacock is now waiting for alms like a beggar.
"Huo Hanting, he will definitely meet me..."
She muttered to herself, and the breath she exhaled quickly dissipated in the air.
"Miss, you have been standing here for half an hour."
The security guard at the door couldn't help but remind him, "Why don't you come back another day?"
Chen Manzi suddenly raised her head, a fierce look flashing in her eyes: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of chasing me away?"
She regretted it the moment she said it. She was no longer the high-and-mighty eldest daughter of the Chen family.
The security guard's expression changed, but he still maintained a professional smile: "I was just suggesting..."
"I'm sorry." Chen Manzi took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"Could you please go and inform her again? Just say... just say Chen Manzi has something important to discuss."
The security guard hesitated for a moment, then turned and went in.
Chen Manzi looked at his back, her heart beating wildly in her chest.
She subconsciously touched her face to confirm that her makeup was still exquisite and perfect.
Today she deliberately wore Huo Hanting's favorite dress and sprayed the perfume he once liked.
"He will definitely soften..."
The security guard came back quickly and rubbed his hands awkwardly: "Sorry, you can't go in."
"Why?"
"Mr. Huo said he doesn't know you."
These words hit Chen Manzi's heart like a heavy hammer.
She stumbled back a step, her delicate features contorted.
"Impossible! How could he not recognize me? You must not have told him that it was me! Didn't you, Fu Yu? Did Fu Yu tell you to say that?"
The security guard was startled by her reaction: "Miss, please don't get excited..."
"I don't believe it!"
Chen Manzi's shrill voice was particularly harsh in the silent hunting ground.
"Let me in! I want to ask him myself!"
She rushed in without caring about her appearance, but was held by two security guards on her arms, one on each side.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am?"
Chen Manzi struggled desperately, her hair disheveled, like a mad woman.
"Huo Hanting! Huo Hanting, come out! I'm willing to follow you, isn't that enough? I can be your woman, please let Chen go!"
At the entrance of the hunting ground, people kept looking in and whispering.
Chen Manzi didn't care anymore. She couldn't take care of anything.
Chen's life is in critical condition, her mother lies in the hospital, her mother cries all day long, and the compensation and losses seem like a bottomless pit...
"Huo Hanting! I'll give you whatever you want! Please..."
Her voice lowered, with tears in her eyes, "Please see me..."
Chen Manzi was ready to sacrifice her freedom, happiness, and even her marriage to Gu Huai.
She thought through gritted teeth.
Even if everything goes back to the starting point, as long as it can win Chen back, she will do anything.
"Let go."
A cold voice sounded.
The glass door slowly opened.
A tall figure stood against the light, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Let her go."
Huo Hanting's voice was cold.
The security guard immediately let go of her hand. Chen Manzi staggered to her feet, a glimmer of joy in her eyes: "Han Ting! I knew you could..."
Her words stopped.
The Huo Hanting in front of her was completely different from the one in her memory.
The eyes that had once been full of tenderness towards her were now filled with only disgust and indifference.
"Ms. Chen."
Huo Hanting looked down at her, his tone as distant as if he were talking to a stranger, "You're disturbing me and my wife."
Chen Manzi was trembling all over, not sure if it was because of the cold or shock: "What did you call me? Miss Chen? Between us..."
Huo Hanting interrupted her, "If you continue to harass me and my wife Fu Yu, I don't mind bankrupting the Chen Group early."
