Chapter 129 Shi Nian, will you marry me?
Lu Yanzhi didn't reply, but just looked at her with a complicated expression.
“I will come to find you in five months,” he said.
At that moment, he remained noncommittal.
“Let’s go back,” she said, taking the lead down the steps.
Lu Yanzhi stood on the steps watching Shi Nian's departing figure. He watched the sunlight shine on Shi Nian, gilding her with a golden edge, and he felt inexplicably sad.
"Buzzing..."
Just then, Lu Yanzhi's phone vibrated.
He took out his phone and saw Han Wei's name on the caller ID.
In his other hand was his divorce certificate with Shi Nian.
When Lu Yanzhi looked up again, Shi Nian had already turned the corner and disappeared.
Lu Yanzhi shook his head, banishing the strange thought from his mind.
She always loved him.
She can't live without him.
Moreover, Han Wei only has 5 months left.
It won't be long.
Thinking it over, Lu Yanzhi answered Han Wei's call.
"Yanzhi," Han Wei's voice came through the phone, "Is everything going smoothly?"
Lu Yanzhi looked at the divorce certificate in his hand.
"Mm," he replied.
...
On the other side.
Shi Nian returned to the car. She sat in the driver's seat, thought for a moment, took out the divorce certificate, took a picture of it, and then sent it to their small group chat.
Shi Nian: I successfully got the divorce certificate.
Then, immediately, came the blessings—
Lin Zhihuan: That's great! Applause! Congratulations to Nian Nian on successfully leaving that scumbag! Happy divorce!
Fu Jinyan: Shi Nian, well done! You finally got rid of that idiot Lu Yanzhi!
Qiqian: Awesome! Congratulations to Shi Nian on starting a new life!
Lin Yuchen: Congratulations to Niannian on becoming single again! Congratulations!
Jian Jinran: Awesome! You're finally about to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Congratulations, Shi Nian!
Fu Jinyan: Let's have dinner together tonight! I'll make a reservation! This is such a wonderful occasion, we should definitely celebrate!
...
Shi Nian felt a warmth in her heart as she looked at the congratulations from everyone in the group chat, and replied with a few more words.
After a while, she put down her phone and prepared to drive away.
But just then, she noticed someone standing next to the car.
He had been waiting there for who knows how long, and only when he saw her look up did he wave his hand to attract her attention.
It's Young Master Huo, Huo Yanmo.
What is he waiting here for?
Shi Nian found it strange. She thought about it and realized that apart from their previous encounters and clashes in the business world, she and Huo Yanmo had basically no other personal relationship.
Moreover, even in the business world, she went there as Lu Yanzhi's person.
If we disregard Shi Nian's identity, then it is Yining.
However, Yining was wearing a mask the whole time, and he had accompanied Huo Er and the others to the scene.
All of this flashed through her mind in just a second. Then, she rolled down the car window and smiled at Huo Yanmo.
"Young Master, is there anything I can help you with?" Shi Nian asked.
Huo Yanmo found it amusing to look at Shi Nian's seemingly harmless appearance.
"Let's chat?" Huo Yanmo said with a light laugh.
Shi Nian couldn't figure out what Huo Yanmo was up to.
The three major powers in City A are the Lu family, the Fu family, and the Huo family.
Led by Lu Yanzhi, the Lu family underwent a transformation, surpassing the other two families.
The Fu and Huo families are evenly matched.
However, the two companies have completely different approaches to training this generation.
The Fu family operates on a "breeding poison" model, where the three brothers, Fu Jinyan, fight each other fiercely until the victor takes all.
The Huo family, through the joint efforts of the three members, has made the Huo Corporation bigger and stronger.
But Shi Nian knew that things were not that simple.
Although Huo Er's personality is like that of a silly golden retriever, he was born into a wealthy family and it's impossible for him to be completely ignorant.
Huo Junhui is also a very capable woman. The Huo family is involved in the gemstone and luxury goods industries. The title of Miss Huo of City A is not just for show.
The person who could make Huo Er and Huo Junhui willingly submit to him was no incompetent person.
Normally, Huo Er and Huo Junhui can handle most of the Huo family's affairs. Huo Yanmo, the eldest son of the Huo family, is very mysterious.
All that is known is that he is 29 years old this year, and that he spent a few years abroad in his early years before returning to China to take charge of the Huo family.
Thinking about it, Shi Nian felt she should inquire first, so she said, "Another day?"
Huo Yanmo's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Could you do me the honor of having a little time for me?"
He paused slightly and said, "Shi Nian, or rather, Yining?"
Shi Nian's smile froze slightly, but she quickly masked it.
"Young Master Huo must have mistaken me for someone else?" Shi Nian said with a smile. "I have heard that Yining is a pretty good singer these days?"
Huo Yanmo shook his head and said with a smile, "I didn't mistake you."
"I knew who you were after I accompanied that kid Ayao to the scene."
"Later I put in some effort to investigate, and I went to the third live broadcast to confirm it."
Is that enough?
He was still smiling, looking at her with a gentle, warm expression.
However, Shi Nian dared not underestimate it.
The fact that they could describe it in such detail shows that their identity has indeed been confirmed.
Shi Nian knew that they had to talk about this today.
She nodded: "Okay."
“I’ve reserved the tea room,” Huo Yanmo said.
Shi Nian nodded, got out of the car, and followed Huo Yanmo to a secluded and elegant teahouse nearby.
"Young Master."
"Good morning, young master."
People here greeted Huo Yanmo as they saw him.
It's obvious that I know him.
Huo Yanmo nodded in acknowledgment.
Shi Nian followed behind Huo Yanmo, her heart filled with doubt.
Finally, the two arrived at a tea room.
After the tea was served, the door to the tea room was closed.
"Why is Young Master suddenly interested in me? And even thinking of investigating me?" The aroma of tea filled the table, and the steam rose into the air. Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo and asked.
Huo Yanmo did not answer immediately, but instead reached out to serve tea.
“Actually, we’ve met many times, but you were always by Lu Yanzhi’s side back then,” Huo Yanmo said.
Shi Nian nodded, "That's true."
“I have always thought that Lu Yanzhi is lucky to have you, and I have always envied you.”
Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo, wondering what he meant by those words.
“I was also at that charity auction gala,” Huo Yanmo continued. “That night I saw that woman named Yining, and her skillful bidding and psychological maneuvering were impeccable. That’s what sparked my curiosity.”
"However, I heard that Yining was Fu Jinyan's woman. Although I felt sorry, I didn't think much of it until Ayao dragged me to see Yining in person."
"I just noticed something strange, and then, as I just told you, I gradually confirmed your identity."
It turns out it was because of that auction.
Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly, watching Huo Yanmo's hand movements.
"So, why did you come to see me today, young master?" she asked.
"Just call me Yan Mo."
Huo Yanmo said with a smile, "First of all, I wish you a happy divorce."
"Then," Huo Yanmo said, handing the tea to Shi Nian, "would you like to consider marrying me?"
