Chapter 278 Follow the Past Without Being Found

"You have never liked her. Whether she comes back or not has nothing to do with you. Besides, she and I are no longer husband and wife. I can't force her to do anything, and she doesn't need to fulfill any duties for our Huo family."

Huo Dongming directly rejected Yuan Yi's request on behalf of Shang Wanwan.

He knew that Yuan Yi was just trying to verify the truth of her words, but he didn't need to prove to her whether he was lying or not.

"Have you guys had enough of the noise? I, an old man, like to be quiet. Let's stop here."

The old man had a granddaughter out of nowhere, and although he appeared indifferent, he was actually very happy in his heart.

Huo Yaolin is a carbon copy of Huo Dongming, and the little girl just now looks like Shang Wanwan at first glance.

The old man still believed in his grandson from the bottom of his heart, because there was no need for him to lie to him.

Yuan Yi was feeling a little upset. Her husband was angry, so she didn't dare to say anything.

"They will stay in the old house with me for the next few days. In short, let me take care of all the messes you have outside. If this girl is really the granddaughter of our Huo family, don't let her wander around outside anymore."

The old man doesn't care about anyone, he only cares about the descendants of the Huo family.

No matter how Huo Dongming plays, his father will turn a blind eye unless he brings those women home.

"will not."

How could Huo Dongming let his daughter be homeless?

The old man was too lazy to pay attention to him. He asked the servant where the two children had gone, and went straight to play with his great-grandson and granddaughter.

After Huo Dongming settled the child, he took out his cell phone and called Shang Wanwan.

I called many times, but there was no response.

He felt nervous and couldn't help wondering where she was, what she was doing, and who she was meeting. She said she had an appointment to discuss something.

What can she talk about? Is she dating a man or a woman?

Huo Dongming returned to the car and sat quietly for more than ten minutes.

He was in a daze and had random thoughts.

Shang Wanwan's phone rang but no one answered, which made him crazy.

At this time, Shang Wanwan was sitting in the cafe with someone.

Opposite her, a handsome and gentle man was looking at her resume carefully.

"Ms. Yao, I am very interested in your work. But you are not well-known, so it is difficult for you to make a name for yourself in this industry."

The man's slender fingertips pressed on the just-closed file.

"Yes, I know. Painting is just my hobby, not my main job."

The man was surprised: "Just a hobby? Putting aside your fame, your paintings are the most spiritual paintings I have ever seen."

He thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if you have heard of Gu Ling'er? She has some very good paintings, but unfortunately she hasn't produced any particularly amazing works in recent years. Maybe she has run out of ideas."

Shang Wanwan curled her lips slightly.

Gu Ling'er?

The two have been at odds since Gu Ling'er plagiarized her work.

It was only later that Gu Ling'er found out that she was Mrs. Huo.

There was no more interaction and cooperation, and Shang Wanwan's paintings no longer came out of Guling'er's hands.

Where did she get those amazing paintings?

Shang Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "I have been in East City for less than a month, and I don't know much about the domestic market and the celebrities in this circle."

The man nodded.

"Of course. I am very impressed by your paintings. Your paintings are more mature and profound than Gu Ling'er's paintings in the past. If you have her fame, I can guarantee that the income will be considerable."

Shang Wanwan closed her eyelids slightly. She couldn't say that she wasn't doing it entirely for the money.

Business is business. If she says she is not doing it for money, people will just think she is being pretentious or crazy.

"I don't understand the market conditions in East City, so I'll need Mr. Wu's help in the future. You know I have two children to raise, and I'm in a tight financial situation."

She could only say this, otherwise no one would sympathize with her and cooperate with her.

If she doesn't put the interests first, no one will help her gain fame.

Wu Zhengyang looked at Shang Wanwan with admiration and sympathy.

"I understand. Don't worry, I am very optimistic about your paintings. I will never lower the price to bully you. The price I give you will also be relatively fair. Miss Yao, you can continue to create during this period. I will definitely live up to your trust."

In Wu Zhengyang's eyes, Shang Wanwan saw respect for herself. She had met quite a few people during this period.

Some people are interested in her works, and even more people are interested in her, especially when they know that she is raising a child alone. Many people even covet her beauty.

Wu Zhengyang was one of the few people who wanted to discuss cooperation with her.

She couldn't trust him completely. In this materialistic society, she could only try her best.

"Thank you in advance."

Shang Wanwan and Wu Zhengyang were having a very good conversation, so she didn't drive over to avoid letting people know that she wasn't short of money.

"Did Miss Shang drive here?"

Shang Wanwan felt a little embarrassed.

"I don't have a car."

Wu Zhengyang immediately said in an apologetic tone: "That's not what I meant. Where do you live? I'll give you a ride."

Shang Wanwan didn't care, and of course wouldn't agree to him giving it to her.

"It's very convenient to call a taxi outside. I can just go back by myself."

"How can that be? It is natural for a man to take a woman home. How can I let you take a taxi back?"

Wu Zhengyang insisted on giving it to her, and Shang Wanwan couldn't refuse.

She thought she could just tell any address and get off.

After all, the community where she bought the house was also a wealthy area in East City. Wu Zhengyang was kind-hearted, so she followed him out.

Wu Zhengyang's assistant drove over and Shang Wanwan followed him into the back seat.

The two had a great chat.

A black commercial vehicle had been parked outside the café for a long time. Through the half-lowered window, Huo Dongming sat quietly watching the man and woman chatting and laughing at the door.

Shang Wanwan smiled happily, and Special Assistant Zhou, who was sitting in the driver's seat, saw it more clearly than Huo Dongming.

He looked in the rearview mirror at Huo Dongming sitting there with an indifferent expression, and felt sorry for him.

"Boss Huo, do you want to get off the car and take a look?"

Huo Dongming took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Does it bother you?"

Special Assistant Zhou stopped talking immediately.

At the same time, he muttered in his heart.

When did Mr. Huo change his personality?

Mrs. Huo was obviously chatting with another man, so why didn't he even get out of the car?

Isn’t he afraid that his wife will cheat on him?

When Special Assistant Zhou saw Mrs. Huo for the first time, he was also shocked and thought he had encountered a ghost.

Later I found out that it was really my wife who came back.

However, Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo have already divorced, and her attitude towards Mr. Huo is nothing like that of a married couple. They have become strangers living under the same roof.

Special Assistant Zhou suddenly felt sorry for President Huo.

From a distance, Special Assistant Zhou and Huo Dongming watched Shang Wanwan get into the car with that man. Special Assistant Zhou's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

That man is really bold.

"Mr. Huo, the wife is leaving."

Seeing the car carrying Mrs. Huo leaving, Special Assistant Zhou was so anxious that he almost broke out in a sweat.

Huo Dongming finished half of his cigarette and threw the remaining half out of the car window.

"Follow them and don't let anyone see you."
