Chapter 119 It turns out that you can live a better life only if you stop loving
Huo Dongming was obviously angry.
He left Shang Wanwan and went to the study.
Shang Wanwan listened to the sound of the door closing, and her heart was indifferent.
She was sure that she didn't love Huo Dongming anymore, otherwise, how could her heart not hurt?
It's human nature for him to take advantage of me, and I have taken advantage of him before.
There is not so much emotion between people, but we stick together for warmth.
She was very happy that she no longer loved Huo Dongming. For a woman, not loving does no harm.
The next day, Shang Wanwan got up early and cooked for Huo Dongming as usual.
She worked for more than two hours, preparing a sumptuous breakfast, both Chinese and Western, all according to his preferences.
She even set the plate in a good mood.
Mrs. Zhang saw Mr. Huo go to the study last night and the light was on all night.
The wife and husband are arguing again?
She had gotten used to their crazy relationship, having quarrels and making up every now and then.
Mother Zhang felt that her worries were unnecessary.
Huo Dongming went downstairs and saw Shang Wanwan with a calm and graceful look that showed the passing of time.
She was wearing a beige sweater and a long skirt of the same color, soft slippers on her feet, her long black hair was casually tied behind her with a ribbon, and she even had an apron around her waist, like a full-time housewife in an idol drama.
Intelligent, beautiful, capable of cooking and dining...
"Breakfast is ready."
She saw Huo Dongming and spoke lightly.
When Huo Dongming passed by her, his eyes froze for a moment, and soon he looked away.
"No, I have a meeting in the morning. I'll go to the company to eat."
He walked while fingering his watch. The shirt he was wearing was ironed for him by Shang Wanwan and placed in the closet.
While she was cooking in the kitchen, Huo Dongming came back to his room from the study. She had already prepared clothes for him to wear for today's trip.
But Huo Dongming did not wear the suit she picked for him, but chose another one for himself.
Shang Wanwan noticed it but said nothing.
"good."
She responded, turned around and sat down at the dining table, enjoying her own portion without looking at Huo Dongming anymore.
Mother Zhang stood by with a nervous look on her face the whole time, and even the servants in the house were nervous as well.
In the yard, Huo Dongming had already started the car. After Shang Wanwan made sure that he had left, she took the food on his plate and dumped it directly into the trash can...
For the whole day, Huo Dongming did not call home again after he went out.
Shang Wanwan didn't care. She was counting the days until Li Luo came back. She would be there tomorrow.
Life seems to be better than before.
Shang Wanwan packed clothes for Huo Dongming and then went to the studio to paint.
In the afternoon, I went to Mrs. Chen's place to teach Chen Xin, and occasionally chatted with Mrs. Chen.
When she came back in the evening, she heard Zhang's mother answering a phone call on the home phone. It seemed that Huo Dongming said he would not be back for dinner in the evening and asked her not to prepare it.
If he didn't come back for dinner, she would be happy to have some peace and quiet.
Life is like a stagnant pool of water, without any ripples, but Shang Wanwan enjoys it.
At least her heart is peaceful, without any pain or emotion.
Huo Dongming spent a day at the company. From the moment he arrived at the company in the morning, company executives were called to his office one after another to be criticized, regardless of whether they did a good job or not.
He could find faults in even the ones that were done well, not to mention those that made minor mistakes, who would be severely criticized and ordered to make corrections and redo the work overtime.
All the employees in the company, including Secretary An, were trembling with fear.
Everyone could see that Mr. Huo was in a very bad mood.
Only Secretary An knew where his bad mood came from. When she went there two days ago, the couple were fine. How could they be arguing again?
Huo Dongming vented his anger on his employees, and he was still angry when Song Siting called him.
"What is it?"
The low and angry voice was so penetrating that it startled Song Siting.
"Are you crazy or are you just unsatisfied? You sound like a resentful husband. Your wife doesn't want you anymore."
Song Siting made a slick remark while Huo Dongming's voice was cold.
"If you have something to say, just say it. I don't have the time to spare for you."
Song Siting laughed dryly: "It's been a long time since we last got together. The old man has found a girlfriend and is inviting him to dinner tonight. You haven't been out for a long time either. How about joining us?"
Huo Dongming was about to refuse, but when he thought about facing Shang Wanwan's indifferent and almost ruthless face when he got home, he felt depressed.
The "no" that was on my lips turned into "what time?"
"It's 7 o'clock in the evening. Since you have a wife, I won't arrange girls for you. Old Jin said that he has recently promoted a few new beauties with good looks and figures. I'll go join in the fun."
Huo Dongming raised the corners of his lips, snorted, and hung up the phone.
The party was arranged at the five-star Yuqiong Hotel.
Song Siting, Jin Jingxiao, and Gu Nanheng have all arrived, waiting for Huo Dongming.
Jin Jingxiao invited a few small stars to come and sit in the hall, and surrounding them were some relatively famous models from East City.
Each person was surrounded by two girls. When Huo Dongming came, the little star who replaced him immediately left the stage.
"How come you have time to play cards with me today, Old Jin? We are both going to get married, and the wedding is only a few days away. Don't you need to take care of it yourself?"
Song Siting was the talkative one among them. He threw out a card and Gu Nanheng followed suit.
"I just need to attend the wedding. Do the guests need me to feed them?"
Jin Jingxiao's voice was cold, and he obviously didn't want to talk about getting married.
He was opposed to this marriage from the beginning to the end, but three out of the four people in their group were second-generation rich.
The marriage destiny of the second generation of rich people basically tends to be business marriage.
Huo Dongming was the only one who was not forced by his family to marry the woman the family liked, but Shang Wanwan was at least a famous daughter of a wealthy family in the upper class before her family went bankrupt.
Not some random person or a woman of questionable character.
Song Siting hit a soft nail, his eyes fell on the cards in his hand, and he didn't want to step on Jin Jingxiao's tail.
Gu Nanheng turned his attention to Huo Dongming again.
"We didn't even know how many years you've been married. You hid it well enough. Why don't you bring Wanwan out?"
Huo Dongming was not as angry as before and spoke calmly.
"What can we bring? We are an old married couple."
His words caused the three of them to look at him meaningfully. Old couple?
I heard that he sent his lover who saved his life to the United States for the sake of this wife. I thought Huo Dongming was a playboy, but I didn't expect that when he was devoted, none of them could match him.
"Since you're not bringing him, Yuan Na, go and keep Mr. Huo company."
Gu Nanheng pushed a little star next to him directly into Huo Dongming's arms, and the little star also followed suit and sat on Huo Dongming's lap.
Her hand gently stroked Huo Dongming's arm and then the cards in his hand. Yuan Na had a first-class figure and appearance.
People were consciously or unconsciously crowding around Huo Dongming. If he lowered his head slightly, he could see his clear and impressive career path.
Huo Dongming's expression was as cold as ice. When Yuan Na pulled out his card and tried to help him throw it away, he glanced at her sharply.
"Get lost!"
