Chapter 19: Rather Demolish a Temple
He really wanted to be with his white moonlight, and she was powerless to stop him, but she would never be used as a puppet.
"You are worried that Yi Xiaxue will affect your marriage. I don't think Mr. Huo cares more about his relationship with Yi Xiaxue than your marriage. From my point of view, divorce is the worst option."
It is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a family.
Lu Zhe smiled bitterly in his heart. It was obvious how much a woman who was willing to give birth to a child for a man loved that man in her subconscious.
I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to enter Shang Wanwan’s heart.
Instead, it is better to persuade them to reconcile.
Shang Wanwan's hands tightly grasped her long skirt, but she grabbed it too tightly, and the skirt was wrinkled.
She didn't blame Lu Zhe.
He had no idea what kind of person Huo Dongming was or what he really thought.
But she couldn't say.
After all, she and Huo Dongming are still husband and wife, and there is no need to disclose family matters to outsiders.
Lu Zhe works hard to repair the relationship between Shang Wanwan and Huo Dongming.
The two chatted for a long time.
Huo Dongming just sat in his seat and stared at them.
Yi Xiaxue was waiting for Mr. Huang. People kept coming and going but there was no sign of him stopping. She was getting impatient.
"Dongming——"
After shouting several times, Huo Dongming finally turned his gaze away from there.
"What is it?"
The tone was so bad that Yi Xiaxue was shocked.
"No, nothing. I mean Mr. Huang is too busy. Can you please interrupt him for a while?"
Just then Song Siting came over to join in the fun, and Huo Dongming stood up.
"I have something to talk about."
He directly transferred Yi Xiaxue to Song Siting.
“…”
In the smoking area outside the hotel, Huo Dongming leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window and puffed out a cigarette.
His handsome figure was reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light bounced off his face, making his handsome appearance stunning.
Through the glass, Huo Dongming stared at the couple who were chatting happily.
Shang Wanwan occasionally lowered her head and cast down her eyes, looking shy.
The cigarette between Huo Dongming's fingers burned most of it by itself, and he didn't feel any pain even when it was burned by the bloody flames.
Shang Wanwan had never smiled at him like that before.
She is always timid and cautious.
Why is she so brilliant in front of that man?
Huo Dongming threw the cigarette to the ground and stomped it out.
The air was filled with the strong smell of cigarettes.
Just like Huo Dongming's mood, he was extremely irritable.
Yi Xiaxue waited for Huang Qingguo but Huo Dongming left again.
As a little star, she had no place to stay in the upper-class circle.
Half an hour later, Huang Qingguo was tired.
The endless stream of people who came to him were persuaded to leave by his assistant.
Huo Dongming also came back.
Compared to before, he was much calmer.
When Mr. Huang went to the lounge, Yi Xiaxue found out and was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so she immediately asked Huo Dongming to think of a solution.
"Ms. Shang, Uncle Huang just sent me a message. He is free now. Do you still want to go?"
Lu Zhe fought for this opportunity on behalf of Shang Wanwan.
In addition to the love in my heart, there is also sympathy and admiration.
A woman who refuses to succumb to fate.
Worthy of respect.
"go."
Shang Wanwan responded quickly, and she reached out and unnaturally pulled the hair on her forehead.
"You also said that if I really want to get rid of my identity as Mrs. Huo, I must have my own career."
She had children to raise, and that was the key.
Lu Zhe nodded, which was considered as taking her to take the first step.
Huang Qingguo was alone in the huge lounge.
Although he is over fifty years old, he wears a neat suit and keeps a well-maintained figure. He does not look like an old scholar like those in China.
Shang Wanwan treated him like a sports expert.
Huang Qingguo's age is also very different from his actual age. Some people believe that he is in his early 40s.
Lu Zhe brought Shang Wanwan to meet Huang Qingguo. Huang Qingguo did not act like a master at all and talked to them cordially.
"Miss Shang, do you have any works?"
Shang Wanwan felt relieved when she saw Huang Qingguo looked very accommodating.
"Wanwan once participated in an international oil painting competition and won good results."
Lu Zhe spoke for her, and Huang Qingguo looked at the two of them and chuckled.
"I'm asking Miss Shang, not you. Why are you so talkative?"
Huang Qingguo was obviously teasing them. They were all experienced people and could see that Lu Zhe was interested in Shang Wanwan.
Shang Wanwan knew that he might have misunderstood, but the other person didn't say anything, and she couldn't clarify for no reason that she and Lu Zhe were just friends.
"I can't talk about my work. I'm just scribbling when I have nothing better to do."
Most of her paintings were sold to make ends meet, so there aren't many good paintings left.
Huang Qingguo saw her embarrassment and did not ask any more questions.
"I want to recruit a disciple from China this time. It's not that I don't want to give face to A-Zhe. I am a very strict person. Miss Shang, please forgive me. My assistant will help me organize a painting competition tomorrow. If Miss Shang can win the first prize in this competition, this matter will be a natural thing."
It turned out that Huang Qingguo had already made his own plans. At his level, there were many people who wanted to stay by relying on connections. Huang Qingguo also had a hard time deciding who to give face to. No matter who he agreed to, he would offend the other group of people. It would be better to just have a competition to decide who was the winner.
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Huo from the Huo Group is here."
When the assistant came to report, Shang Wanwan tightened her grip on the teacup.
What a coincidence, we bump into each other again.
What kind of bad fate can make me encounter it everywhere?
Shang Wanwan was about to get up and say goodbye when Huo Dongming and Yi Xiaxue came in from outside. Gu Ling'er was also with them.
Gu Ling'er probably wasn't expecting this and was stunned for a moment.
"Ms. Shang, Lawyer Lu, I didn't see you just now. It turns out you are here with Mr. Huang. What a coincidence."
Yi Xiaxue quickly greeted Lu Zhe, looking very familiar with him.
Huang Qingguo knew Huo Dongming, but he naturally didn't know the other two.
Since it was Huo Dongming who brought him, we should give him some face.
It seemed that they also knew Lu Zhe, so Huang Qingguo simply asked them to sit down together.
"Uncle Huang, long time no see. You look well."
"Mr. Huo is still as charming and suave as ever. Are these two his confidantes?"
Huang Qingguo was also teasing.
Yi Xiaxue was a little emotional. Couldn't she see the relationship between her and Huo Dongming?
I don't know how many times their scandals have appeared in gossip magazines.
All major media outlets reported that she would be the future wife of the Huo Group.
Huo Dongming's expression was very dull.
"Friends, but they all come here in the name of Uncle Mu Huang."
Yi Xiaxue's face fell, my friend.
They are just friends.
Gu Ling'er followed Yi Xiaxue all the time, not daring to look at Shang Wanwan.
"Mr. Huang, my name is Yi Xiaxue. I have always admired Mr. Huang's paintings. I wonder if I would have the honor to ask for a painting to hang in the living room."
Yi Xiaxue snuggled up to Huo Dongming. She finally had the chance to meet Huang Qingguo, and without waiting for Huo Dongming to speak for her, she directly stated her purpose.
Huang Qingguo's paintings are extremely valuable, and no one would ask for them so casually.
As soon as Yi Xiaxue finished speaking, Huang Qingguo's face changed.
If it weren't for Huo Dongming's face, Huang Qingguo would have directly asked his assistant to kick Yi Xiaxue out.
