n: "My mom..."Wen Man said softly, "As long as Auntie is happy! You can call me Mom or Dad, it's fine."Ho Shaoting stared at her for a long time, and then chuckled softly: "Teacher Wen, you're really...They gazed at each other in the light.

No one is willing to admit defeat, no one is willing to give up their persistence. Soon, Huo Xi felt his eyes getting sore.

She spoke in a low, hushed voice.

Not interesting at all!

"Zhang Chongguang, we've all started our new lives. Eight years have passed. Are you sure you understand me And I don't really know you either. We just slept together twice out of passion. Besides that, what else is there between us If you insist on saying there's love, it's all from a long time ago."

Ho Xi waved his hand gently: "You go back! I'm very busy with a case lately, and I also need to be on my guard against Lu Shao! Zhang Zong, I really don't have the energy to play a game of romance with you."

……

Zhang Chongguang remained still.

His gaze was profound, like an impenetrable fog.

Huo Xi lowered her eyes and gave a self-deprecating smile. "You wouldn't know, the taste of waiting for someone. Zhang Chongguang, the greater the hope, the deeper the disappointment. That kind of feeling, I don't ever want to experience it again in my life."

Zhang Chongguang's heart trembled.

He felt it there, like being nibbled away at, a pain that was sharp yet somehow clear.

His frustration lay in,

Ho Xi was unwilling to accept him, and at the same time, he couldn't give her happiness.

Zhang Chongguang, this person, vanished in the world of Huo Xi. His body remains, but those past events have long been buried.

After Huo Xi finished speaking, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Give him a retreating figure of refusal.

She said softly but firmly, "Stop harassing me. I'm not sure what I'll do if you don't. You best leave me alone!"

"Am I still affecting you, aren't I"

His voice was hoarse, barely a whisper as he asked.

Hosi did not answer him.

She stood straight, gazing at the night view outside. In Zhang Chongguang's blind spot, a hint of moisture glistened in the corner of her eyes.

Zhang Chongguang is gone.

The door creaked open slightly.

The house was eerily silent, with only Huo Xi inside. She stood alone at the high point of B city, savoring her solitude.

Night, deep.

She thought, she wasn't incapable of accepting him.

When she hugged him, she still felt something.

But precisely because she had loved him so deeply, she had given Zhang Chongguang all the most innocent things in her life. Yet, he turned a blind eye and walked away without a second thought.

If she accepts, she'll feel guilty about herself.

Huo Xi slightly raised her head, her slender neck taut.

……

A week later, Hosie sat in the office of his firm.

She is on the phone with Lu Shuo.

The feud between the two Lu families was a life-and-death struggle. Lu Qian's stance was that he wouldn't intervene and wouldn't allow Huo Shaoting to take action. As for Lu Shuo, that capable young man, let him go head-to-head against the entire Si family.

Success or failure, it's all a test for this young man!

Ho Xi wasn't stupid.

It seems her maternal uncle is indifferent to his son's life and death. In fact, he's targeting those old fellows in City C. The fluctuating stock of the Lu family must be quite exciting to watch, right Her maternal uncle isn't afraid at all; even if they go bankrupt, he can still eat off his wife.

Of course, Lu Qian wouldn't interfere with the younger generation.

Hoxi and Lu Shu are best friends, maybe not the closest by blood, but Hoxi and Lu Shu look most alike. So while Young Master Lu can do whatever he wants outside, Hoxi has absolute dominance over him!

The two discussed at length.

Huo Xi hung up the phone, she called her firm's chief financial officer and also her personal financial advisor.

When the person arrived, Huo Xi leaned back in his chair, rocking gently.

"How much working capital is there in the business"

"How much can I activate in my personal account"

……

The finance director checked it out.

"Mr. Huo, your personal account can move about 30 billion dollars, as for the firm, because it needs to operate, there's only about 10 billion dollars, the rest is used for various investments"

"Is that all"

Ho Xi tapped his pen against the table: "Alright, first transfer all the available funds from my private account to Xiao Lu's. Also, check on my Swiss bank deposits, I want to access some funds recently."

The CFO hesitated for a moment.

He added, "Would you like to keep some"

Hoxi laughed: “Heh! The Si family has been in B city for decades. My younger brother, though he’s considered a business elite, pales in comparison to them. Watching him lose… watching him go home and be unable to lift his head before his wife…”

The accountant laughed, "You really do spoil Little Lu!"

Hosei also laughed and let out a light sigh: "I've been wanting to buy him a cup of bubble tea for ages!"

She remembered that year when she went with the driver to look for her mother, but instead met her aunt and Lu Shuo.

That was her first time meeting Lu Suo.

But the little brother lives in such a small house.

He followed his aunt in line to buy milk tea under the sun, but he didn't even want to drink it after getting it...

Ho Xi is fiercely protective of his own.

Even though Lu Shuo is now Xiao Lu, the future head of the Lu family, he's just a pitiful little thing in Huo Xi's eyes!

The accountant went to take care of it right away.

In the afternoon, Huo Xi received a WeChat message from Lu Shao 【Sister, thank you!】

Ho Xi glanced at it, just smiling.

At this time, her assistant softly said at the door: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhang from Rong Shang Investment is here and wants to talk to you about the lawyer team."

Zhang Chongguang

Huoxi hadn't expected this. He was back again, wasn't he Was he determined to wear her down

Ho Xi looked up and saw him.

The assistant knew there was something going on between them, so they made an excuse and left first.

Ho Xi gestured for Zhang Chongguang to close the door. She personally poured a glass of water for Zhang Chongguang and placed it in front of him, saying in a very official tone: "Actually, for this kind of thing, you could just have your subordinates come over!"

"I want to see you!"

Zhang Chongguang has probably been abroad for too long, and he doesn't speak around the bush.

Luckily, Huo Xi has thick skin.

She smiled faintly. "Unfortunately, I don't feel like seeing you! Let's get down to business."

If he took care of things sooner, he'd have no reason to come looking for her anymore.

When they discussed business, there was less playful banter between them.

They are all very professional.

In the end, it was Huo Xi who made a concession.

Zhang Chongguang signed the document, his gaze fixed on her. He asked softly, "Are you short of money"

He knew her temper. She wouldn't have gone this far if she didn't want the money.

Ho Xi tidied up his desk.

She let out a light hum: "Zhang, you can't manage that!"

Zhang Chongguang was not annoyed. He took out a white cigarette, but did not light it.

He rarely smokes in front of Huo Xi.

Even though she sometimes smoked, he subconsciously didn't want her to be exposed to secondhand smoke. In his mind, Hoxi was still the pretty little girl in a fluffy skirt.iative between the sheets.Huo Shaoting had her only once.Afterward, he leaned against the headboard smoking, saying nothing.But his eyes were deep-set.Wen Man had a sense of being exposed.Since Joan c...
