Chapter 29 How to rely on yourself

Fang Xinyuan probably didn't expect Li Luo to say something like this. She was the daughter of a wealthy family, and her face turned red for a moment and she was unable to respond.

Li Luo pressed the cigarette in her hand into the ashtray. The remaining mist added a touch of dreaminess to her originally pure eyes, making her beauty seem unreal.

"Ms. Li, I thought we could actually be friends."

In the eyes of a sophisticated man like Li Luo, Fang Xinyuan's moving words were like a child playing a game with an adult, and she had absolutely no chance of winning.

"As the future wife, what are you afraid of?"

She leaned back slightly, her big eyes like scissors flickering, her expression mixed with a hint of evil and playful roguery. There was no trace of the charm of a big star in her.

What she meant was, you are the first wife and I have no interest in competing with you openly, what can you do to me.

Fang Xinyuan tried hard to suppress her anger and sat up straight.

"There is no future for you and Jing Xiao. If that's the case, why bother to get involved? Miss Li has a bright future ahead of her. It's not worth it to have her bright future ruined by a man who is about to get married."

In the cafe, Li Luo ordered some wine.

He didn't invite Fang Xinyuan and poured himself a glass.

"Why isn't it Jin Jingxiao who is pestering me? You can try to persuade him."

Fang Xinyuan thought that the game between the two would not be easy, but she did not guess that Li Luo, as a big star, would have such rogue behavior.

She was so angry that she picked up the wine on the table and poured it directly on Li Luo, and even walked over and slapped her several times.

Shang Wanwan came out and saw Li Luo being beaten and was so frightened that she was stunned.

She still remembered the last time Li Luo rode on Yi Xiaxue and beat her up until she was sent to the police station.

What good ending will Fang Xinyuan have?

"Xinyuan, stop it."

Jin Jingxiao had clearly left, but he turned back.

He stood in front of Li Luo and took the slap from Fang Xinyuan.

"Get out of here. Jin Jingxiao, we are getting married and you are still keeping this woman. Today you have to choose between her and me."

Fang Xinyuan almost lost control and stared at Li Luo aggressively.

She had just used all her strength to fan Li Luo and her hands were numb.

"Fang Xinyuan, pay attention to your image. If this gets out of hand, your Fang family will also be in the news."

Jin Jingxiao turned to look at Li Luo. Her face was red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had suffered a great injustice.

"Please send Mrs. Jin back. I have friends over, so it's not convenient for me to entertain you."

Li Luo's tone was calm yet with a hint of arrogance, and he waved at Shang Wanwan who was standing behind Fang Xinyuan with an indifferent look on his face.

Fang Xinyuan was angered by her carelessness and wanted to step forward, but Jin Jingxiao pulled her arm and took her away from the scene.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the restaurant, and the only people who were busy were the waiters.

Li Luo picked up the wine that had not spilled from the glass and drank it.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, I watched Jin Jingxiao pull Fang Xinyuan into the car.

"Do you want to go to the hospital to check your face? Why didn't you fight back?"

Shang Wanwan really couldn't understand how Li Luo's ferocious beating of Yi Xiaxue could have been caused by Fang Xinyuan like this.

"Fight back? It's not appropriate for a mistress to hit the original wife."

Li Luo calmly withdrew his gaze from the window. There was no humiliation or sadness in his eyes, but instead a hint of pride.

"I'm in such a miserable state, Jin Jingxiao will naturally repay me. The reward for fighting with that kind of person is not high. There's no need."

Shang Wanwan was speechless. It was already such a late hour, and Li Luo was still thinking about the rate of return.

"Li Luo, you are so talented that you can completely rely on yourself..."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Li Luo's lips.

"Relying on myself is the most hypocritical thing to say. I grew up in an orphanage, and was supported by people from all over the place. Everything I have today is all because of Jin Jingxiao. How can I rely on myself?"

Shang Wanwan was speechless.

Isn't it because she used some tricks to get close to Huo Dongming that the businessmen have no worries about food and clothing today?

The cell phone vibrated on the table, and a call came from an unfamiliar number.

Shang Wanwan took it.

"Hello, Miss Shang, I'm Yi Xiaxue. Were you alright yesterday? How did you get home?"

Li Luo was sitting opposite and could hear the voice on Shang Wanwan's phone clearly.

Her brows were twisted into a knot and she asked Shang Wanwan by lip syncing.

"Why is this woman calling you?"

Shang Wanwan simply turned on the mute to avoid Li Luo asking questions.

"Take a taxi and arrive safely."

"That's good. Dongming helped me get Mr. Huang's painting. I didn't want it at first because you know Mr. Huang is so difficult to deal with. But Dongming loved me and did everything he could to get it for me. I was very touched."

Yi Xiaxue's voice was so coquettish that Shang Wanwan felt her stomach tighten and she felt like vomiting.

The expression on Li Luo's face turned ferocious.

She didn't have that much psychological drama when she was fighting with Fang Xinyuan just now.

"I want to ask you about your apprenticeship with Master Huang. I heard that he really held a painting competition. Are you participating? In fact, Dongming and I both hope that you can become Master Huang's last disciple..."

Li Luo couldn't stand it anymore and hung up on her.

“…”

"When did you get in touch with this little bitch? She actually called you. Dong Ming on the left and Dong Ming on the right. Huo Dong Ming must be her father. Next time I see her, I will beat her to death.

Shameless bitch, she is so proud of stealing someone else's husband, she wants to be a lousy star, let her paint anything, let her eat up some Huang Lao painting, die, and be buried in the cemetery and sleep with me."

Li Luo started to curse, and Shang Wanwan felt that she didn't have such a deep hatred towards Fang Xinyuan.

"Forget it. She doesn't know that Huo Dongming and I are husband and wife. Soon we will really have no relationship."

Shang Wanwan has become numb to the relationship between the three of them.

Last night was Valentine's Day, and Huo Dongming left her behind to spend Yi Xiaxue's birthday with her. If it weren't for Yi Xiaxue's identity, which prevented her from entering the Huo family, I'm afraid the gift would have been a ring instead of a necklace.

The funniest thing is that she actually has one too.

"You are really willing to give her a bargain..."

Seeing Shang Wanwan sad, Li Luo chose to shut up.

The screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up again. Needless to say, it was Yi Xiaxue calling.

Li Luo took Shang Wanwan's phone and turned it off.

"Next time, block this woman. How shameless would she be to call you?"

Li Luo's temper only came from standing up for Shang Wanwan.

"I don't want to get myself into trouble."

Now no one knows that she is Mrs. Huo. If she really does too much and makes it known to everyone, she may not be able to leave the Huo family for the rest of her life.

Li Luo's long nails were broken directly, and he took several deep breaths to suppress his anger.

She poured herself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, her face full of an expression of disappointment.

"Why, give them room. Just because Luzhe is gone doesn't mean there won't be other good lawyers. Let me tell you, if you really want a divorce, at least give him half of the property. Otherwise, the baby in your belly won't matter."

Li Luo had never seen a woman asking to be left with nothing after a divorce when her husband's assets amounted to hundreds of millions.

"My paintings can sell for money, I don't need to rely on Huo Dongming."
