Chapter 19: My Wife's Seven-Year Struggle
Their eyes met, and a smell of gunpowder filled the air.
Chen Guangyuan handed the things to Pei Fuyan and left.
In front of Huo Yunting, Pei Fuyan waved the contract like a winner.
"Mr. Huo, do you want to take a look?" Pei Fuyan smiled proudly.
Huo Yunting said expressionlessly, "No need."
"Tsk tsk! This attitude of Mr. Huo's is not fun." Pei Fuyan initially thought that Huo Yunting would not come, but he did not expect that he would actually come.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Huo Yunting met her provocative gaze and said, "I'm already giving you face by not spitting."
"Boss Huo's words are still as venomous as ever." Pei Fuyan acted unconcerned. He turned his head and looked out the window at the greenery. "Do you know why I chose Jiangxin Road?"
Jiangxin Road, separated by a river, is a place where poverty and wealth are opposite each other.
He and Shen Nanxing were born in the barren land across the river. How much effort did it take to gain a foothold in the extremely rich Jiangcheng?
Huo Yunting picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee in the cup. He ignored the lipstick on the edge of the cup and took a sip. He roughly guessed what the other party would say, which was nothing more than that.
If he really cared, he wouldn't have let her be Mrs. Huo for three years.
Huo Yunting raised his eyelids nonchalantly and said, "Tell me about it."
Pei Fuyan felt offended, as if he were being outshined. His disdainful gaze was a constant reminder that innate wealth was different from acquired wealth.
Pei Fuyan's veins twitched faintly. "Forget it. This is a memory shared by Nanxing and me. Why should I share it with outsiders?"
"I thought it was something else." Huo Yunting chuckled. The smugness on the other person's face at the beginning now shifted to his face. "You are the only one who keeps thinking about that old and rotten thing."
He leaned back, crossed his legs, and assumed a distinguished demeanor. "Indeed. Bastards who haven't had anything good since childhood are often the most likely to covet what they can't have."
Looking into Pei Fuyan's eyes, Huo Yunting raised the corner of his mouth, "Am I right?"
Pei Fuyan's face flashed with a hint of unnaturalness when his past was suddenly exposed, but he still pretended to be calm, "As expected of Mr. Huo, I can't hide anything from you."
Want to use this matter to irritate him?
But I can’t let the other party get what they want!
"Boss Huo is so foresighted. It seems that Nanxing and I, seven years apart..."
"What seven years?" Huo Yunting, who had been lazily leaning on the chair, suddenly straightened his back and his expression became serious.
"Isn't that the story of my wife's seven years of hard work to leave the slums? Mr. Pei always likes to flatter himself. If your father hadn't recognized you before his death, I wonder if you would still be rummaging through garbage in that corner."
"Huo Yunting!" Pei Fuyan's efforts to hide the shameful situation were easily revealed. He stood up in frustration and said, "Even without the Pei family, I can still make a living!"
Huo Yunting sneered. He had seen many people with wild ideas, and Pei Fuyan was one of them.
"You're so confident. So confident that if I trick her into signing a fake contract, I'll just sit there and watch you trap me?"
Pei Fuyan gritted his teeth. It turned out that he was still thinking about the thing in his hand.
He regained a little control, "Then wait and see, when the time comes and we face each other day and night, a lover of seven years or a husband without any feelings, what will Nanxing choose?"
Huo Yunting raised the corner of his mouth confidently, "Let's wait and see."
Watching Pei Fuyan leave angrily, Huo Yunting's eyes gradually became covered with a layer of frost.
She had no choice three years ago, and she shouldn't even think about it three years later.
Huo Yunting strode out and dialed the phone as he walked, "Where is it?"
