Chapter 27 [2nd update, 6000 nutrient solution extra update]

Xie Yunting was also stunned.

He pondered for a moment and was about to say hello politely when he saw Huo Yuyan raise his hand expressionlessly and let the elevator door slowly close in front of him.

Xie Yunting pressed the shutter button in time.

The door stuck for a moment, then slowly slid to the sides.

He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Huo, let's go together."

Huo Yuyan wanted to refuse without a second thought, but he looked at the elevators around him and realized that the elevators in a building with nearly 100 floors were too slow to go up and down. So he paused and said calmly, "The main reason is that I want to listen to the violin for a while longer. But since you asked so earnestly, it would be bad to refuse."

He acted like a cold elite, paused, then strode in with his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking very imposing.

The elevator door closed in front of him, and the shiny material reflected the shadows of the two people.

One has a cold face, the other has a false smile.

At first glance, it's hard to tell who's winning.

Huo Yuyan didn't even realize that he had gritted his teeth.

The number of floors went down one by one. After a while, he looked straight ahead silently, paused, took off the small bag hanging on his left shoulder, and slowly moved it to his right shoulder.

Xie Yunting seemed to notice it and looked over.

"Mr. Huo came out with Miss Shen?" he asked gently.

Huo Yuyan suddenly sighed unexpectedly.

"Married people are like this. They always have to prepare one or two surprises every month to keep the marriage fresh." He seemed to be troubled by this worry, staring at his own shadow in the elevator and shook his head. "After marriage, I am not so free. I have to help my wife carry the bag when I go out."

He glanced at Xie Yunting, then looked away, "I really envy you."

Before Xie Yunting could say anything, the elevator door opened and Shen Yuntang was outside the door, looking at him with a stern face, suppressing the anger that was about to explode.

Seeing Huo Yuyan appear, Miss Shen's sweet voice shouted impatiently: "Why are you so slow? Do you think it's your life to take a bag? Huo Yuyan, if I go out to eat with you again, I will--"

She was stunned for a moment before she realized there was another acquaintance in the elevator.

"Ms. Shen." Feeling her gaze, Xie Yunting nodded and said, "Long time no see. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Ah, it's been a long time." Shen Yuntang was interrupted by this chance encounter and nodded. "By the way, will you attend that brand exhibition?"

Xie Yunting paused and said, "If it's the one in Haishi, it shouldn't be. This is for domestic brands."

"That's good, one less competitor." Shen Yuntang was satisfied.

Xie Yunting laughed, "I won't compete with Miss Shen."

As he was talking, his driver had already driven over. He said goodbye politely, and before getting in the car, he paused, looked up, and politely continued Huo Yuyan's unanswered sentence: "Mr. Huo was joking just now, there is no need to envy me."

He got in the car and it just drove away.

Huo Yuyan: "..."

The fist hardened.

He watched this arrogant man leave, and was about to go up and down in one breath. Finally, Shen Yuntang asked him leisurely: "What are you envious of?"

Huo Yuyan was silent.

I dare not tell lies, and I dare not tell the truth.

Shen Yuntang knew it all with her hair. She tilted her head and smiled at him, her smile was very subtle, "Are you jealous that he doesn't have a wife to serve him?"

"...Ms. Shen, please don't frame me." Huo Yuyan took a deep breath and was about to argue for himself when he heard a noise not far away.

They both looked up at the same time and saw a man and a woman standing in front of the car, also questioning them, but it was the man who was questioning them, not the woman.

"I told you not to think too much. She and I are innocent. Don't always think that I have a relationship with someone. Gu Lan, do you understand that you are only making me want to see you even less?"

Shen Yuntang paused.

Is this building really that popular? How come it's so easy to run into acquaintances?

She turned her head and saw Gu Lan, who was dressed up, shaking and crying. She said, "I can believe it the first time, and I can say it was a coincidence the second time, but what about the third and fourth times? How can it be a coincidence everywhere?"

The man held his coat impatiently and raised his voice: "Why are you becoming more and more unreasonable? Are you still the same Gu Lan? Do you know that if you continue like this, sooner or later I will not be able to stand you anymore?"

Huo Yuyan paused. Just as he was feeling a little mad about accidentally bumping into a scumbag, he saw his wife turn her gaze towards him.

He had a bad feeling: "…What?"

Shen Yuntang raised his chin, "Huo Yuyan, come up."

It looked like he was directing the Husky, which was good at destroying houses, to go to other people's houses and destroy them.

He was about to say what he wanted me to do, but Shen Yuntang said expressionlessly: "Let me know that you are a man."

“…”

Don't push him.

Under Shen Yuntang's gaze, he finally took a deep breath, sighed, and walked towards the man with heavy steps.

Ye Jinze was getting angry, and blood rushed to his head when he saw Gu Lan refusing to believe him. Gu Lan had always been obedient to him, even if she disagreed at first, she would eventually be persuaded by him. It had been like this since he retired from the entertainment industry that year, and it was still like this now.

He could no longer tolerate Gu Lan's disobedience and disobedience to him.

"Why are you staring at me? Gu Lan, don't make me unrecognize you."

He was so focused on accusing Gu Lan that he didn't notice that Gu Lan's hands were clenched into fists.

PUA.

Miss Shen is right.

Ye Jin was about to continue accusing her, but suddenly his raised arm was grabbed by someone. The man was quite strong and it was obvious that he exercised regularly, which made his pampered body unable to resist.

He was stunned, turned around and saw that it was a tall man who restrained him.

His expression changed. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Then he reacted and looked at Gu Lan fiercely, "Someone you know? Gu Lan, where did you meet this man?"

Before he could finish, the man grabbed his jaw and held it so tightly that he couldn't utter a word and could only look at him in horror.

"Stop spreading rumors." Huo Yuyan frowned. "My wife doesn't like this kind of thing. What's wrong with letting me take care of it?"

He was still hesitating and cursing, Huo Yuyan increased the strength of his hands, turned around and asked Shen Yuntang: "Miss Shen, what should we do?"

Only then did Shen Yuntang come over with his arms folded.

Gu Lan was staring blankly at the man who suddenly appeared. When she heard the name, she was stunned for a moment, turned her head abruptly, and saw Shen Yuntang.

"Are you sure he cheated?" Shen Yuntang asked.

Gu Lan opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her lips trembled. She didn't know what emotion was breaking in her heart.

Ye Jinze suddenly seemed to be provoked, and started to punch, kick, and curse even more. Unfortunately, he was restrained by Huo Yuyan and could not move. He could only curse incoherently: "Where did you find these people from? Did I allow you to go out and meet people everywhere? Gu Lan! Are you listening to me? I'm going to call the police!"

Her husband looked at her with hatred.

Gu Lan looked at him, feeling somewhat strange and dazed. For the first time, she felt that the real Ye Jinze was so different from what she had imagined.

He was really just a demon, as Miss Shen said, who was kidnapping her with so-called love and marriage.

Step by step, he made her lose herself and become the so-called virtuous wife tailor-made for him.

She had lied to herself for too long.

After a long while, Gu Lan finally closed her eyes, shed a tear, and nodded.

Shen Yuntang nodded, "As long as your mind is clear, that's fine."

She said to Huo Yuyan: "Let her do it herself."

Huo Yuyan was a little puzzled and wanted to ask if you knew each other. Hearing this, he paused, then very tactfully twisted the scumbag's arm behind his back and said, "Go ahead."

Gu Lan opened her eyes and looked at them blankly.

Ye Jin, who had just been bossing her around, was firmly grasped by Huo Yuyan. She tried to struggle with all her might but was unable to break free. She cursed and threatened in frustration.

And here she was standing in front of this husband who had just been kissing and secretly cuddling with another woman.

Miss Shen said to her: Let her do it herself.

Gu Lan's trembling hands suddenly stopped shaking.

After some tattered things are broken into pieces, the remaining parts seem to become even stronger.

After a long silence, she gently clenched her hands and walked forward step by step.

"Ye Jinze, I saw you kissing that man." She let out a long breath, feeling strangely calm, and just looked at her husband.

"I know her name, her position, and how many times she has come to see you."

Gu Lan walked up to Ye Jinze and looked at his pale face. Suddenly, she felt ridiculously happy.

She smiled, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped him in the face!

The force was so incredible that it made her palms numb, but she paused. After a brief period of discomfort from her first beating, she actually felt that such straightforward revenge was more satisfying than any victory in questioning.

Gu Lan hit backhand again, causing Ye Jinze's head to tilt.

She was about to slap him again when she heard Shen Yuntang say, "Stop."

Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, put his hand down, and turned to look at her.

Shen Yuntang raised his chin: "Use a bag, I see your bag is quite hard."

Gu Lan came back to her senses from her daze and suddenly couldn't stop laughing.

She picked up her small bag and, under Ye Jinze's incredulous gaze, hit him with even greater force than before.

"Just wait for the divorce." She smiled, her fingers trembling as she spoke, "Don't even think about doing anything. If there's any obstacle in the divorce process, intimate photos of you and your partner will appear in the chat groups of your two companies and in all the business newspapers in Hai City."

It was rare for him to do something so noisy, and Gu Lan's breathing became a little faster.

Shen Yuntang then said, "Have you finished talking to him? If you're done, go back and plant flowers. My batch of flowers has been divided up and I'm waiting for you to help me plant them. Didn't Zhou Ying say that you're the best at planting?"

Gu Lan was stunned.

After a moment, she smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Okay, Miss Shen."

Huo Yuyan then let go of Ye Jinze who was stunned by the beating, gave him a warning look, and then handed the bag to Shen Yuntang.

Shen Yuntang grabbed the bag and left, turned around and got into the car. The sound of his footsteps was particularly crisp in the parking lot.

Gu Lan paused, wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands, and quickly followed.

Only Ye Jin was left, covering his face and looking at them with a grim expression.

The driver closed the door and saw Huo Yuyan still standing there. He was stunned for a moment and asked him politely, "Sir, are you going back to the Huo residence?"

Huo Yuyan paused.

Then he opened the car door and got in without changing his expression.

"It seems that everyone in the Huo residence misses me very much." Huo Yuyan sighed while sitting in the passenger seat, "Another person is here to urge me to go home."

Driver: “…” Not really.

Shen Yuntang didn't even bother to look at him, and turned his head away with a sneer, "No one wants to see you."

Huo Yuyan pretended not to hear.

Gu Lan sat aside, staring at the two of them in a daze for a moment, then asked carefully and softly, "Do you... usually get along like this?"

Shen Yuntang snorted coldly: "What else?"

Huo Yuyan suddenly turned around and said, "You can't say that, Miss Shen. Sometimes we are quite harmonious, for example, we just had a candlelight lunch today..."

"You mention it again?"

Huo Yuyan choked, closed his mouth and turned his head back.

Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, lowered her head and said, "You two have a really good relationship."

Shen Yuntang: “…”

Huo Yuyan: "..."

Why did he feel creepy when hearing this? Good relationship? Are you talking about him and Shen Yuntang? It's good enough that Shen Yuntang doesn't want to twist his head off every day. When Shen Yuntang occasionally treats him well or when he is reluctant to use him, he is just a tool.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and angry. Just as he was about to say something to save his face as the head of the family, his cell phone rang.

Huo Yuyan saw that it was the parent group of Huo Xihuai School. Shen Yuntang was too lazy to join, so he passed the task to him.

People in the group are talking about the fact that there will be a parent-teacher meeting after the monthly exam in a few days, and that parents will attend a mobilization sports meeting with their children to cheer them up for their entire senior year. Parents should try to come along as there are many family projects that may require parents to participate together.

He fell into a long silence.

After a while, Huo Yuyan put down his phone, looked ahead and said slowly: "There will be a parents' meeting next week, does Miss Shen have time to go?"

Shen Yuntang smiled at him.

Huo Yuyan: "...the largest booth."

"That's the thank you gift you owe me."

"…I'll help you get a business license."

Shen Yuntang paused.

Huo Yuyan continued to bear the pain and cut his losses: "The GG position."

Only then did Shen Yuntang feel a little relieved.

"Not impossible." She crossed her legs and looked up at him. "I'll give you ten of those that take sixty seconds, and I'll give you as many as you can of those that take fifteen seconds."

“…”

Huo Yuyan couldn't help but wonder absurdly what he was trying to do.

"Don't want to give it?" Shen Yuntang asked him with a smile.

Huo Yuyan wiped his face and looked out the window in silence. After a long while, he finally gritted his teeth and smiled, "...I don't miss you, Miss Shen."

Gu Lan sat silently on the side, trying very much to reduce her presence, although the two of them didn't seem to take her presence seriously.

She looked at them and shook her head.

They really have a good relationship.

However, it seems that they neither know nor want to admit it.

"Sir?" After the car arrived at the Huo residence, Butler Li was stunned when he opened the door, and blurted out, "Why did you come back with Miss Shen?"

Could it be that this candlelight dinner really had some effect? ​​Then he would have accomplished a great feat.

Just as Butler Li was about to show his joy, Huo Yuyan sneered, "I'll settle the score with you later."

"?"

Then he saw Shen Yuntang ignore him and bring in a familiar-looking woman, then go straight to the garden to sit down and drink tea and look at the flowers.

Huo Yuyan did not dare to chase after her and provoke her face to face, so he stopped and had to sit down in the living room.

Then he met the eyes of Butler Li, who didn't quite understand the situation.

Having not seen each other for a long time, he and Butler Li had nothing to say to each other and were like strangers.

After a while, Huo Yuyan suddenly smiled, which made people feel cold. Butler Li got goose bumps on his back and couldn't help asking in confusion: "...Sir? What's wrong?"

Huo Yuyan leaned back on the sofa, crossed his fingers, and crossed his legs.

"Did you arrange that violin?" he asked with a smile.

Butler Li was refreshed and said quickly, "Yes, it was me, Butler Li, who took great pains to arrange a date for you and Miss Shen. Did it work, sir?"

Huo Yuyan was choking on the words he was about to say.

Dating?

He just wanted to thank Shen Yuntang, what does it have to do with a date.

After a while, Huo Yuyan, whose words were blocked, paused, turned his head slightly, and looked towards the garden as if inadvertently.

Shen Yuntang was lazily propping up his chin and watching Gu Lan squatting and looking through the seedlings. Her attitude was the same as most of the times he saw her, careless, self-centered, pretentious and arrogant.

It seemed like there was nothing she couldn't solve.

But even though she is so self-centered, she would actually help others.

Just like the last time he stood up for Huo Xihuai.

He even knew that Shen Yuntang wanted to drive him and Huo Xihuai out of the house. She was completely impatient with them, always sneering and mocking them, or scolding him.

Shen Yuntang's world is completely centered around herself. If anyone makes her unhappy, then they won't have an easy life.

But what if her world is more than just herself?

If her world also includes the surrounding area, then anyone who steps into her area will be placed behind her in the same rank - although this rank may be very far away, and he may not even be as important as the shovel she uses to plant flowers.

But it was also "her thing".

She will help those behind her.

It was as if she was the only one who could scold them, but she couldn't allow others to scold them.

Even if she is a punching bag, she still owns it.

Shen Yuntang is really a possessive person.

Huo Yuyan suddenly thought so.

...So, is he also something private to her?

Pooh.

Huo Yuyan immediately spit on the brain that came up with this idea. What the hell, why did he rush to describe himself as a thing? He is not... Never mind, he seems to be quite a thing.

He was silent for a moment, still feeling that his idea was bizarre.

Huo Yuyan suddenly felt a little awkward. After a while, he suddenly asked the housekeeper: "Uncle Li, what do you think Shen Yuntang would do if someone bullied me?"

Butler Li looked at him in surprise, as if asking him why he was humiliating himself. "Well, I think Miss Shen will...have two hotpot meals to celebrate?"

“…”

When he didn't ask.

After a while, Butler Li pondered and said, "It probably depends on who the other person is."

Huo Yuyan paused and looked up at him.

"If it's harmless bullying, such as mocking the gentleman or scolding you, Miss Shen will probably scold you too." Butler Li paused for a moment in Huo Yuyan's speechless eyes, and continued, "But if you really do something unforgivable and violate the principles, just like Xiao Huai's mother, Miss Shen will definitely turn hostile."

He paused and continued, "Ms. Shen is the righteous Miss Shen."

Butler Li said softly, "It's Miss Shen who protects her."

The living room fell into silence for a moment.

Huo Yuyan pursed his lips slightly.

Gu Lan stayed at their house until the evening and then left. No one knew where she went, but it was estimated that the next time I saw her, she would be single again.

On this day, the monthly exam of Haizhong was over and the first parent-teacher meeting for the senior year was to be held.

Shen Yuntang went to school by car with a bad look on his face.

The driver secretly glanced at her in the rearview mirror, then shut up and turned back.

I hope that when Miss Shen finds out that Mr. Huo is there too, she won't get too angry.

When the car reached the sea, Shen Yuntang sighed and felt that she had really paid a lot for her career. She felt old to be attending a parent-teacher conference for her child at the age of 22.

The driver opened the car door attentively, and Shen Yuntang forced himself to put on a kind expression.

Although that expression was so fake that it made people feel cold on the back.

She lowered her head, got out of the car, looked around, and was about to ask the driver to lead the way when she saw a familiar figure getting out of the car at the same time.

The familiar figure closed the door, raised his head coldly, and the moment he saw her expression, his expression suddenly froze.

Then, he forced a smile and said, "Ms. Shen, what a coincidence?"

The false smile on Shen Yuntang's lips disappeared.

Huo Yuyan suddenly had a bad feeling.

The next moment, Shen Yuntang came over with the bag.

"Huo Yuyan! You called me when you have time! You liar!"
