Chapter 12: Teacher Wen, Full of Energy!
ed and walking into the bathroom.……Wen Man sat inside, lost in thought.She was still wearing that pure cotton floral dress. Her profile was beautiful, something he found aesthetically pleasing. And be...Jiang Rui dared not disobey.
Although Huo Shaoting was the same age as them, his successful career really put them in the shade.
Jiang Rui winked at Wen Man: "I'll wait for you in the car."
Wen Man managed a wry smile.
When Jiang Rui left, several Uncle Hats saw the signs and chuckled, "Lawyer Huo has something private to discuss, let's clear out."
Wen Man: ...
When the surroundings were finally quiet, Huo Shaoting lowered his head and twirled the cigarette between his fingers. His fingers were slender and strong, and even the simplest movements were full of charm.
After a moment, he looked up at her: "Teacher Wen, you have quite a lot of energy."
Wen Man was taken aback.
She instinctively tried to defend herself: "Today's events, they... ”
"You mean it has nothing to do with you" Huo Shaoting smiled faintly, with a hint of mockery: "Teacher Wen, why do you think they fought Can't you guess"
Wen Man's face was completely drained of color.
Before the powerful Ho Shaoting, all her explanations were pale and powerless. He said it was so, and it must be so, because he was Ho Shaoting, the most formidable lawyer in the country.
She was a mere weed, insignificant and unnoticed.
She was feeling wronged, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mr. Huo, please rest assured, I will never interfere with your sister's relationship."
Ho Shaoting suddenly got up and walked straight toward her.
Wen Man remained motionless.
She stared up at him with wide, helpless eyes.
Ho Shaoting looked down at her, even reaching out to lightly scrape her delicate cheek with his palm. Wen Man felt humiliated and awkwardly turned her face away.
He Shaoting spoke softly: "Teacher Wen, you must be unwilling. It was Gu Changqing who betrayed his feelings and found Mingzhu, now it seems like you've become the third party, very wronged, isn't that right"
"I don't!"
"Still thinking about him"
"I don't!"
……
Ho Shaoting retracted his hand and smiled faintly.
He said, “I believe Teacher Wen’s promise.”
Wen Man felt humiliated and furious. How dare Huo Shaoting treat her like this She didn't dare to lash out, only managing to whisper a few words: "Huo Shaoting, you bastard!"
He didn't get angry, he just looked at her intently.
After a long silence, Huo Shaoting finally spoke, his voice soft. "You did nothing wrong. You only erred in trusting love too much."
Wen Man was taken aback.
By the time she came to her senses, Huo Shaoting had already left.
……
He Shao-ting focused on driving.
He occasionally saw his sister cuddling with the man in the rearview mirror, her face full of happiness.
Ho Shao-ting twitched the corner of his mouth, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
The Golden Continent slowly stopped at the restaurant entrance. Gu Changqing got out of the car and bent down to thank Huo Shaoting. The two men looked at each other, with a meaning that only they understood.
Ho Shao-ting lightly nodded his head, then drove away.
"A girl should behave like a lady, with grace and refinement," Huo Shaoting rebuked his sister.
Ho Mingzhu didn't care.
She pulled her brother aside and whispered, "That Miss Wen today was pretty! I can't believe Jiang Rui likes someone like that... Bro, I think she's got something!"
Ho Shaoting rolled down the car window a bit.
He suddenly felt a bit feverish!
Huo Mingzhu was still muttering to herself: "She's so beautiful, I really suspect she has something to do with Gu Changqing... It's a good thing she belongs to Jiang Rui."
Ho Shao-ting remained silent, continuing to focus on driving.
After a long silence, he asked Huo Mingzhu in a soft voice, "When are you getting married"
Huo Mingzhu blushed and said, "This has to depend on Gu Changqing's opinion. He's busy with his career right now, and I wouldn't want to bother him too much."
The red light was ahead, Huo Shaoting stopped the car.
He leaned in, nonchalantly: "Does he love you"
"Of course."
"What does he love about you"
Ho Mingzhu wasn't caught off guard. She extended her slender white palm and listed them one by one: "My family is well-off, I have a high education, I am beautiful, my parents are respectable, and I have an capable older brother..."
Ho Shao-ting let out a light sigh.Lu Qian still walked over.The city's neon lights cast a shimmering, multi-colored glaze over them, making everything seem unreal.Like a dream, ephemeral.
