Chapter 30 Throw It Away
"Don't be silly. Lu Zhe told me that your paintings were sold by that Gu Ling'er pretending to be the author. Without resources and connections, and even if no one knows you, your artwork is worthless."
Li Luo was almost angry to death. Shang Wanwan's eyes became empty, as if she was thinking about something.
The waiter brought the food they ordered, and Li Luo ate while criticizing Shang Wanwan.
Shang Wanwan listened carefully without making any excuses.
Suddenly, Li Luo covered his lips with his hand, swallowed the food he had just taken a big bite of, and lowered his head. The chattering in Shang Wanwan's ears stopped abruptly. She looked up and found that Li Luo's eyes were misty.
"Li Luo, what's wrong with you?"
Shang Wanwan was surprised. Did she cry?
There was a soft clicking sound of leather shoes behind me.
Shang Wanwan turned around and saw a muscular man walking towards her quickly.
Jin Jingxiao is also a celebrity in Dongshi. He is a rich kid with good looks and money. Although he is not as good as Huo Dongming, he is always mentioned in gossip magazines and entertainment news.
Li Luo's face was more swollen than before. Jin Jingxiao probably came back because he was worried about Fang Xinyuan after sending her back.
"Is Miss Fang okay? Why don't you accompany her?"
Li Luo's beautiful face now looked truly horrible.
"I asked the driver to take her back. Let me see your face."
Since he arrived, Jin Jingxiao's attention has been entirely on Li Luo, as if Shang Wanwan was an invisible person.
"What can happen to me? You should go back and take care of Miss Fang. It won't be good if she gets angry. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Li Luo said this, but tears fell silently.
But she always had a smile on her face.
Jin Jingxiao simply knocked her down and picked her up.
"Your face is so swollen that you have to see a doctor."
He didn't care about other people's eyes at all. Li Luo was startled and nestled in his arms and spoke softly.
"If we go out like this and the paparazzi find out, who knows how ugly the news will be tomorrow. It will be bad for you and the Fang family. Miss Fang is different from people like us. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and has a poor tolerance. You have to at least consider others."
Shang Wanwan heard the conversation between Li Luo and Jin Jingxiao clearly. Li Luo was not so reasonable just now.
"Through the back door."
He did not put her down. Li Luo put her hand on Jin Jingxiao's chest, and Jin Jingxiao finally saw Shang Wanwan.
"Miss Shang, please come with us."
Shang Wanwan smiled very forcedly, so forced that it made them look natural and real.
In fact, she felt that she was just being cheeky.
She was a little embarrassed.
"No, I'll take a taxi back later. You take Li Luo to the hospital first, her face is really-"
Seeing that she disagreed, Jin Jingxiao did not insist, and Li Luo still clung to Jin Jingxiao's arms.
Shang Wanwan looked at their backs. Although the role played by Li Luo was not so upright, she suddenly felt a sense of envy.
What does marriage mean to Li Luo?
Perhaps only a fool like her would believe that a piece of paper could really bind a person for life.
Shang Wanwan returned to the Huo family, and the servants were relieved to see her back.
The relationship between the husband and wife has been not going well recently, and they are fighting each other openly and secretly, and the servants are the ones who suffer.
"Madam, my husband said he has an important banquet tomorrow and there are still some clothes at home that have not been ironed. When do you think we can..."
The servant's hesitant expression made Shang Wanwan realize her dilemma.
"Bring them all to my room."
In order to be a qualified housewife, Shang Wanwan has done more than just taking care of Huo Dongming's food and daily life over the years.
In order to please him, she learned how to manage her body, gave up painting and learned piano and dancing.
She became a woman who could really handle both housework and cooking.
"yes."
The servant left, and Shang Wanwan's thoughts suddenly popped up.
"You are just going to make room for another woman? Your paintings are worthless. You have no resources or connections. No one will help you market them. Who will you sell your paintings to? What will happen to your children after you leave the house?"
The sounds that came one after another intertwined and constantly impacted her thoughts.
The servant brought over all the clothes that Huo Dongming needed to sort out, two large boxes in total.
Shang Wanwan wondered if he did it on purpose.
It would take her three to five days to finish it by herself.
Shang Wanwan resigned herself to picking up a white shirt and began to iron it carefully.
"Madam, there is a woman downstairs who said she came to deliver clothes to the gentleman."
Mother Zhang was very cautious when she went upstairs to report.
The woman was the female star who was recently involved in a scandal with Huo Dongming.
She didn't want to tell Shang Wanwan at first, but Secretary An happened to come and even warmly invited the woman to come in and sit down and asked her to tell Shang Wanwan that someone had specially delivered her husband's clothes.
Shang Wanwan quickly guessed that it was Yi Xiaxue. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, but her hands did not stop moving.
"Mr. doesn't like to wear clothes that have been soiled by others. You can ask her to throw them away."
Just because she has no emotions outside, doesn't make trouble or get angry doesn't mean she is easy to bully.
After Yi Xiaxue spent Valentine's Day with Huo Dongming, she wanted to rush to the Huo family to provoke her.
It's obvious that the Huo family doesn't like her, but she still wants to force the emperor to abdicate. She is really tactless.
Mother Zhang was stunned for a moment, and Shang Wanwan looked up at her.
"Anything else?"
Mother Zhang hesitated.
"Secretary An said that the woman's surname is Yi, and she is a very good friend of your husband. Madam, will your actions make your husband unhappy?"
Shang Wanwan's heart was hurt.
The reason why she stayed and worked for him like a slave was to learn how to weigh the pros and cons like Li Luo, not because she wanted to go back to the days when everyone had to do things according to Secretary An's mood.
"I am responsible for everything that belongs to the gentleman. If I say throw it away, it's thrown away."
Mother Zhang was frightened by Shang Wanwan's cold tone.
Is this really your wife?
"Yes, I understand."
Just as Mrs. Zhang turned around and was about to leave, Shang Wanwan called her.
"Go down and tell Secretary An that this is the Huo family and don't let anyone in casually, otherwise I will kick her out too."
Mother Zhang took the order and went downstairs. Yi Xiaxue sat on the sofa in the hall, occasionally glancing towards the staircase.
No one knows who this secret wife of Huo Dongming is, whom he has never made public.
They were going to meet today, and Yi Xiaxue was actually a little excited.
An Lan personally handed the coffee to Yi Xiaxue.
"Miss Yi, Mrs. Huo will be down soon."
An Lan and Yi Xiaxue only waited for Zhang Ma.
"Where's the wife?"
An Lan didn't see Shang Wanwan, and he looked obviously unhappy.
"My wife told Secretary An not to let anyone in without permission. She also said that my husband doesn't like to wear clothes that have already been given away. She also thinks it's dirty to bring back clothes that have already been given away, so she asked me to take my husband's clothes out and throw them away."
Mother Zhang lacked confidence when she spoke. An Lan's status in the Huo family was higher than Shang Wanwan's, but Shang Wanwan was not someone who could be easily messed with nowadays.
"What did the lady say?"
