Chapter 255 Can You Come to My Birthday Party?
When Huo Dongming heard someone greeting him, he stopped instinctively.
Mrs. Meng is considered a strong woman in East City.
Her appreciation of art has won the admiration of many people. She divorced her husband half a year ago and got a fortune of hundreds of millions. In addition, she is young, beautiful and rich. After the divorce, countless upper-class elites wanted to marry her and get both her beauty and talent.
"Mrs. Meng——"
Huo Dongming looked at her, maintaining a polite manner yet keeping a distance.
"Mr. Huo, are you here to discuss business? Is it over? I'm having a small gathering with my friends here, how about joining us?"
Mrs. Meng made no secret of her admiration for Huo Dongming.
Although this man has a lot of gossip, in this society, which man with some ability is not unfaithful? Especially an elite like him.
Even if Huo Dongming was not the president of the Huo Group today, and was just a rich second-generation who was living a life of idleness and waiting to die, I believe there would still be many women who would throw themselves at him.
Mrs. Meng had been thinking about him for a long time. His wife died five years ago and he had never remarried. Now it just so happened that she got divorced. They were both not young anymore, so who wouldn't want to seize the opportunity to become Mrs. Huo?
Huo Dongming glanced at the place she pointed to, and Shang Wanwan happened to look over here.
Her face was visibly stiff, and her fingers were slightly curled on the table.
He actually followed her.
Huo Dongming instructed the bodyguard beside him: "Go wait outside."
He looked at Mrs. Meng again and said "OK" in a low and light voice.
Mrs. Meng never thought that the scene she had dreamed of would be so easy to realize.
She was somewhat flattered and led Huo Dongming to his seat.
Mrs. Meng was not afraid of Shang Wanwan because she knew that "Yao Lin" was married. Her husband was a handsome mixed-race man, and they had a daughter and a happy family.
Even if he saw Chris in person and found her stunning, he would not regard her as an imaginary enemy.
Huo Dongming and Mrs. Meng sat down at the same time. He faced Shang Wanwan, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was calm and unfamiliar.
"Let me introduce you, Miss Yao, English name Christina, a jewelry designer. This is the president of the Huo Group, Mr. Huo Dongming."
Huo Dongming nodded calmly at Shang Wanwan: "Ms. Yao?"
His expression remained the same, his mood was stable and cold. He stretched out his hand, but Shang Wanwan looked indifferent.
Seeing that Shang Wanwan was indifferent, Mrs. Meng gently touched her toes under the table.
"Mr. Huo is very famous in the East City. As long as he opens his mouth, there is nothing he can't do. Miss Yao, you are lucky to come with me today."
Shang Wanwan's pretty face turned a little ugly, and Huo Dongming tactfully withdrew his hand, not with embarrassment of being rejected, but with a playful look.
"Ms. Yao, we met at the auction."
Mrs. Meng was surprised: "You have known each other for a long time."
Huo Dongming looked at the coffee that the waiter had just brought to him, picked it up and took a sip.
"It's not too early. Less than five days, right?"
Huo Dongming said lightly.
There was an unrelieved gloom on Shang Wanwan's face.
Should she think it's a coincidence that she runs into him everywhere?
"Mrs. Meng is going to have coffee with Miss Yao?"
Huo Dongming was speaking to Mrs. Meng, and the greeting just now seemed to others to be just a polite greeting.
Mrs. Meng saw that the man who was so rude to women in the rumor actually looked at her differently, and she felt it was an opportunity.
At first I just wanted to take a gamble and never thought he would accept my invitation.
"We were just discussing something. I didn't expect to run into Mr. Huo here."
Mrs. Meng was already a woman in her thirties, but when she spoke to Huo Dongming, her face was full of shyness and her cheeks were flushed.
Everyone called her Mrs. Meng because of her age. Her last name was her own. With a family fortune of hundreds of millions, she let everyone who met her know her maiden name. She was the one who had the money.
"Oh? Mrs. Meng is beautiful and knowledgeable, and her friends are also celebrities."
He praised two women with one sentence.
Mrs. Meng didn't expect that Huo Dongming was praising Shang Wanwan. Because Shang Wanwan had a family background, Huo Dongming said this to her.
"Mr. Huo is overrated. I heard that Mr. Huo is a quiet man who rarely exaggerates. It seems that the rumors are not credible."
Mrs. Meng knew that Huo Dongming had high standards and was interested in celebrities, but she would not mess around. Over the years, besides his wife, he had only two female confidantes. It was said that one of them stayed with him because she had saved his life.
Then there was another one.
But so what? It is normal for a man, no matter how rich and handsome, to be unfaithful. The number of women around him does not even exceed single digits. Mrs. Meng is already very surprised.
The fact that he is good at exaggerating shows that he can still seduce women.
"It is polite for a man to compliment a woman who is excellent."
While speaking, Huo Dongming glanced at Shang Wanwan lightly, seemingly casually, but in fact his mind was on her.
Mrs. Meng had no idea about the relationship between Huo Dongming and Shang Wanwan, and she thought Huo Dongming was talking about her.
"No. Mr. Huo is actually quite likable."
Mrs. Meng was flirting with him. She suddenly remembered something.
"Mr. Huo, my friend wants to hold an art exhibition in East City. I wonder if Mr. Huo can help?"
Mrs. Meng was so coquettish that it was too late for Shang Wanwan to stop her.
"Oh, an art exhibition?"
Huo Dongming showed great interest.
“Many of my friends in the circle like to collect paintings. I can’t say that I can invite all of them, but some real collectors will definitely be interested.”
Huo Dongming spoke every word, and Mrs. Meng carefully observed his expression. He was really concentrating and listening to what Mrs. Meng said seriously. There was no perfunctory intention at all.
Mrs. Meng was flattered. She had only met Huo Dongming once at a banquet hosted by her ex-husband. She had never expected that Huo Dongming would be so impressed by her, at least that's what she thought.
If I didn't remember her, why would I take the time to sit with her and drink coffee?
She knew that Huo Dongming was very busy, and many dignitaries in East City who wanted to make an appointment to meet him could only meet his assistant.
Mrs. Meng was very excited to see him showing such respect, and Shang Wanwan had no chance to interrupt.
"Really? That's great. My friend is no unknown person. Her English name is Christian, and she's a famous jewelry designer. The ladies in our East City have been fighting over her designs. It's only out of shame that no one was killed..."
Mrs. Meng's words became more and more outrageous, praising Shang Wanwan as if she were the only one in the world. Shang Wanwan even blushed at her words.
"That would be even better. I can help you with that."
Huo Dongshi said without hesitation.
Mrs. Meng was very happy and proud. She asked, and Huo Dongming did not refuse but agreed readily.
After talking about Shang Wanwan, Mrs. Meng blushed slightly and asked tentatively, "My birthday is in two days. I wonder if Mr. Huo would be so kind as to come to my birthday party. Mr. Huo, don't worry. I am careful in making friends and will not invite random people. If possible, it will just be you, me and Miss Yao. What do you think?"
