Chapter 255 I think you two are more than just classmates
Qin Meng's accusation of Huo Dongming's unfilial behavior made his heart ache as if it was pricked by needles.
"Assistant Zhou said you were going to send me to Hong Kong. It's not that I don't want to go, but have you ever thought that if I leave, my mother won't be able to see me anymore? Are you planning to send my mother away with me?
She has raised me for so many years, and her health is getting worse. I have been taking care of her for the past five years that she has lived with me. As her own son, have you ever really cared about her? All you think about is your glory and wealth. She is so pitiful because of you. "
After five years of getting along, Qin Meng understood Gao Ying's good intentions very well.
She complained about Gao Ying's refusal to compete with Yuan Yi for the position of Mrs. Huo's wife, but later she found out that it was all for Huo Dongming.
Because the name is not right, the mistress is the mistress, and she has no right to enter the ancestral temple. If Huo Dongming's biological father is still alive, he can choose to divorce Yuan Yi and marry Gao Ying. Otherwise, if the Huo family recognizes Gao Ying, Huo Dongming will become a true illegitimate child.
When Qin Meng knew this, it was like a bolt from the blue. She was so shocked that she was speechless.
In other words, if she only relied on Gao Ying, she would never get ahead in her life. She also learned from her that if she wanted to gain status, she had to be the main wife.
Fortunately, Huo Dongming and Shang Wanwan have officially divorced. Gao Ying cannot directly let her become the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, but keeping her would be of great use.
Huo Dongming must have felt guilty towards his mother. Taking advantage of this weakness, Qin Meng felt that sooner or later she would be able to become Mrs. Huo.
However, Huo Dongming chose to send Gao Ying away while she was unconscious.
After leaving Gao Ying and Dongshi, it would be harder than climbing to heaven for her to come back. The previous case of Yi Xiaxue was a lesson for her. Later, Yi Xiaxue was said to have been sent to a faraway place by Huo Dongming, and no news of her has been heard since then.
Although Qin Meng was happy, she was also scared.
Huo Dongming showed no mercy to the woman he had a relationship with, so she must not be soft-hearted and must take Huo Dongming down, lest she suffer the same fate as Yi Xiaxue.
The hospital fell into silence, with only Qin Meng's voice still being heard.
Huo Dongming had a very cold expression. Qin Meng observed as he spoke, but she could not tell what he was thinking from his face.
Only when she finally shut up did Huo Dongming speak coldly.
"Are you done yet?"
Qin Meng was stunned. Why did Huo Dongming have such an attitude?
"After that, Special Assistant Zhou will arrange everything for you."
He looked at his watch, but he no longer wanted to stay.
Special Assistant Zhou sent another message, this time it was Shang Wanwan who entered the cocktail party with her hand on Wu Zhengyang's arm.
He went back to Gao Ying's room to get his coat. When he came out, Qin Meng wanted to say something to him but was stopped by the bodyguard.
"Miss Qin, please."
"Huo Dongming, you are heartless. I have been with you for five years and you treat me like this."
Unfortunately, Huo Dongming ignored her and left.
Qin Meng glared at him from behind, her expression changing from anger to rage and then to despair.
Huo Dongming didn't leave her any room.
"Huo Dongming, I will make you regret treating me like this. I will definitely make you regret it."
Her shouting was only audible to herself.
The bodyguard had already taken her away. Huo Dongming didn't even spare a glance at her. Instead, he quickly went to the hospital parking lot to pick it up and rushed to the hotel where Shang Wanwan was attending the dinner.
After sending the message, Special Assistant Zhou stayed at the banquet and watched Shang Wanwan's movements closely.
He was very afraid of missing anything. If he failed to keep an eye on Mrs. Huo and something went wrong, he would not only face Mr. Huo's anger, but also lose his wife. He would be committing a serious crime.
Wu Zhengyang led Shang Wanwan into the hotel banquet hall. She was wearing a simple dress which impressed Wu Zhengyang.
He had never seen a woman who could dress simply and look so elegant and dignified, charming and noble at the same time.
"Ms. Yao is very beautiful tonight. I hope I am not being rude to her by saying this."
There was undisguised admiration in Wu Zhengyang's eyes.
After all, he had awe and respect for Shang Wanwan, a talented and stunning beauty.
Wu Zhengyang is not a speculator; his love for art led him to this path. He is a person who truly loves art.
Wu Zhengyang was attracted by Shang Wanwan's paintings at first sight, and when he saw her in person, every cell in his body became active.
"Mr. Wu is very good at exaggerating."
Shang Wanwan thanked him politely. She didn't dislike Wu Zhengyang, and she didn't catch any disrespect or evil intentions in his eyes.
His behavior was that of a true gentleman, and Shang Wanwan was a little less wary.
"Miss Yao, do you mind?"
He stretched out his arms, with a faint smile on Shang Wanwan's lips.
This Mr. Wu is kind of cute. He respects her opinions in everything he does. I'm afraid every woman would find it very useful to be with such a gentleman.
Shang Wanwan put her arm into his without hesitation, and the two of them walked into the banquet hall hand in hand at the same time.
Shang Wanwan's appearance obviously attracted many people's attention. After five years, the world of fame and fortune was filled with new people, who were dressed in elegant clothes and had beautiful faces.
There are always many people who rise and fall in this world, but very few who hold power have a smooth life.
"Zhengyang, I haven't seen you for so long. When did you get a beautiful girlfriend? Can you introduce her to me?"
Just seconds after Wu Zhengyang and Shang Wanwan appeared, someone came up to them and started chatting them up. The surprise on their faces was clearly visible.
When facing the business celebrities in front of him, Wu Zhengyang also introduced them generously.
"Mr. Wang, you misunderstood. This is Miss Yao, my former classmate who studied painting with me when we were studying abroad. She just returned to China recently and she doesn't have many friends in Dongshi. I brought her here to see some of the locals and learn from you seniors."
Wu Zhengyang spoke very humbly, and Shang Wanwan also extended her hand to Wang Zhen generously.
"Mr. Wang, nice to meet you."
When Mr. Wang saw the beauty stretch out her slender hand, he quickly shook it.
Shang Wanwan's skin was delicate and soft, and she was boneless. Senior men like Mr. Wang were naturally very interested in beautiful women, but under Shang Wanwan's measured control, he naturally maintained his own demeanor and quickly let go of her hand.
"I wonder if Miss Yao has any works. I am very interested in new talents. After all, you are the future of the art world."
Mr. Wang’s words are already a high compliment to Shang Wanwan.
Wu Zhengyang and Wang Zhen have dealt with each other many times, and the two are quite familiar with each other.
"Mr. Wang has not even seen Yao Lin's paintings, but he calls her the future of the art world. We have known each other for almost two years and I have never heard you praise me like this."
Wang Zhen was a man who was used to such situations, so he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
"Because we know each other too well, can you still be considered a rising star? Of course you have no chance. Miss Yao has just returned to China, and we old veterans can only rely on our age to take advantage of our seniority. Miss Yao, please don't laugh at me, and don't think that I, Wang Zhen, am joking. We respect newcomers the most."
At this time, Wu Zhengyang leaned close to Shang Wanwan and whispered in her ear.
"Mr. Wang specializes in art appreciation. It would be great if he was willing to help."
Shang Wanwan also leaned her head slightly closer, and the two of them spoke in low voices. Wang Zhen looked at them with a cocktail in his hand, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes that could not be concealed.
"I see that you two are more than just classmates—"
