and took it.He nodded curtly, "Thank you."After saying that, he went straight to the elevator without a word.Wen Man was getting anxious. She hurried to catch up with him: "Mr. Huo, I want to ask you...A champagne-colored BMW drove slowly into Aunt Ruan's residential complex.

Auntie Ruan had prepared dinner early and was overjoyed to see them return together. “I’ll just stir-fry another dish, and it will be ready soon,” she said with a smile.

Wen Man offered up a box of imperial peach pastries.

Aunt Ruan loves to eat this.

Aunt Ruan took it and glanced at Zhou Muyan, truly a spirited young man.

Zhou Muyan was especially well-behaved in front of Aunt Ruan, calling her "Auntie" and even offering to help in the kitchen. Aunt Ruan couldn't bear it, so she smiled and told him to take a shower first.

Zhou Muyan immediately grabbed her luggage and went into the small room. Her practiced movements made Wen Man suspect that Zhou Muyan was a relative of Aunt Ruan's

Auntie Ruan had cooked the meal, and Zhou Muyan also came out with a damp body.

Long legs look good in anything.

He sat beside Aunt Ruan, serving her dishes and filling her bowl, just like a real son.

Wen Man had some reservations about him, but she had to admit that the young man surnamed Zhou was quite good at pleasing Aunt Ruan. Aunt Ruan seemed very happy, and seeing her happy made Wen Man feel happy too.

"I'll get the door." Zhou Muyan was particularly proactive.

Looking at that tall and imposing figure, Aunt Ruan whispered, "This child is really good. He's warm and polite."

Wen Man smiled.

Over there, Zhou Muyan opened the door. Outside was a middle-aged, refined man with an old lady.

"Who are you looking for"

Joe Jingnian, accompanied by his mother and wife, arrived at the door. As soon as he opened it, he saw this person, momentarily stunned.

Went the wrong way

< No! >

He asked politely, "Is Wen Man at home"

Wen Man heard his voice and felt a surge of annoyance. However, Aunt Ruan gently pressed her hand down. "Guests deserve hospitality! Your father always taught you that we must be polite."

Wen Man smiled wryly.

Aunt Ruan welcomed the Qiao family in. Before she could offer them anything, Old Madam Qiao burst into tears: "My precious granddaughter lives in such a humble house! Ohhh… Jingnian, how can you be such a father"

Joe Jingnian remained silent, his face flushed with a hint of shame.

Wen Man's expression was calm: "I'm doing well! Mr. Qiao needn't feel guilty!"

Aunt Ruan poured them tea.

Old Madam Qiao wanted to take Wen Man's hand, but Wen Man dodged it.

The old woman was quite heartbroken: “How can you, child, refuse to acknowledge your ancestors! Jingnian doesn't mention anything else, but there are hundreds of millions of assets. You would live a thousand times better than you do now! If you just came back, all your father’s things will be left to you and Qiao'an in the future. Your father and I couldn't possibly favor one over the other."

Wen Man listened numbly.

These people only want a biological child and don't care about the pain she faces because of Qiao An. They don't want to acknowledge her as their own, they just want her to reconcile with Qiao An.

She had a calm complexion...

Zhou Muyan looked at her, then, toothpick in mouth, said to Grandma Qiao, "Just a few copper coins, and she's acting so crazy"

Qiao Jingnian's wife was unhappy.

She looked at Zhou Muyan and guessed that he was probably an employee. She sneered, "This is something you'll never earn in your lifetime!"

Zhou Muyan put down the toothpick.

He gave a sinister smile. “I’ve got several hundred million on me right now. Want some”

Mrs. Qiao Jingnian was so angry that she trembled.

"Jingnian, look at the people around Wenman, they're all so messed up! I told you before that her upbringing is too complicated, she's not suitable to return to the Qiao family at all. Compared to her, Qiaoan is much more innocent!"

Qiao Jingnian hesitated: "Wen Man, is he not suitable to be here"

Wen Manliang smiled coldly.

"Mr. Qiao, I can't drive anymore with my foot. Do you have any objections to getting a driver"

"Besides, whether I'm complicated or simple, your Qiao family is far too high for me. You should just go back!"

……

Zhou Muyan swayed standing on top of her: "That's right, that's right, don't get in the way of our family dinner!"

……

Wen Man glared at him: "Who says we are family!"

However, this little wolf dog is quite fierce. Keeping him here with Aunt Ruan to guard the house would be just right. If the Qiao family comes to bother again, he'll have someone to protect them.

This makes Wen Man seem much more likeable!

Joe Jingnian's face was ashen.

Can Wen Man no longer drive, does that mean she can't be a pianist anymore

He stepped forward and pleaded, “Wen Man, go abroad with Dad. I’ll find the best doctor for you… You have my best genes. As long as your legs are healed, you’re sure to shine.”

Wen Man smiled coldly.

Zhou Muyan scoffed, "So you're looking for an heir!"

Joe Jingnian wanted to explain, but Zhou Muyan waved him away. "Go, go, go! I haven't even made you guys dinner. You're really something, coming here all at once like this. Poverty doesn't have to be this extreme!"

Joe Jingnian and his family were so angry their faces turned green.

Mrs. Qiao, a city dweller, gritted her teeth as she exclaimed, "Where did this little punk come from!"

Joe Jingnian, however, was lost in thought.

He remembered the look in Wen Man's eyes just now, it was nothing but stranger and coldness, not a shred of warmth.

Mrs. Qiao saw through his thoughts and gently patted his arm: "We still have Qiao An and Jing Nian. Qiao An is our true child! Raising a child is more important than giving birth to one. Wen Man was not raised by us, so it's normal for her to be distant."

Joe Jingnian thought of Qiao An, and a trace of tenderness passed through his heart again.

His only two wishes now were that Joan would find a good home after her divorce, and if she could... then their family would be complete!

……

After they left, Wen Man didn't say a word.

Aunt Ruan spoke up proactively, "I won't let them come in anymore!"

She actually felt sorry for Wen Man, always thinking that having a biological father to love her would make things better. But she wasn't blind either, the Qiao family didn't have much affection for Wen Man, anyway, it was nothing compared to that crazy wretch of a woman.

Wen Man patted Aunt Ruan's hand: "Mom, I'm fine!"

Zhou Muyan sat down to eat.

He eagerly served dishes for Aunt Ruan, affectionately saying: "That's right, Auntie, don't get angry. With me around you from now on, I guarantee you'll have a happy and prosperous life every day, radiating with vitality!"

Aunt Ruan let out a chuckle...

Wen Man was still somewhat uneasy, so she stayed here for the night.

The little wolfdog coaxed Aunt Ruan into a happy mood.

Wen Man was quite satisfied. She had gotten up early and prepared to go to work, but as soon as she went downstairs, Zhou Muyan was leaning against that champagne-colored BMW, lazily greeting her: "Good morning, Director Wen!"

Wen Man coughed lightly: "You just stay with my mom."

Zhou Muyan said, "But Auntie told me to accompany Mr. Wen all day, what should I do Whom should I listen to"

Wen Man didn't dwell on it any further.

She got into the car and softly said, "To that music room on Guangfu Road!"

Zhou Muyan made a gesture and stepped on the accelerator.

It was a race car, speeding down the road like a moving lane-cutter. It took only fifteen minutes to cover what normally would be a half-hour trip...

With a screech, the car stopped under the office building!

Zhou Muyan got out of the car and opened the door for Wen Man, complaining: "In the future, can you sit next to me Sitting in the back makes me feel old. Only rich old men and women sit in the back."

Wen Man looked at him: "I'm your boss!"

She stepped into the elevator and turned back, saying, "I won't need a car this morning. You go back and keep my mom company, chatting while you buy groceries!"

"Zhou Muyan leaned against the elevator with one hand, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "I see, you want to claim me for yourself. You're trying to get close to my mother first, so that you can win me over! Director Wen, just confess your feelings sooner and we can avoid a lot of unnecessary detours."

Wen Man walked into the elevator and tossed him a word.

"Get a certificate from a psychiatrist!"

Zhou Muyan: Damn it!

But he obediently went, even bringing his receipt to request reimbursement. "See, I'm perfectly normal! Oh, and I also checked with a urologist... I'm super energetic. Want to take a look"

Wen Man ignored him.

She looked at the wedding invitation in front of her, it was an invitation to Jingci's wedding.

Just last Saturday night.

She couldn't have imagined Jingci would still invite her to the wedding, given how unpleasant things had been between her and Mrs. Jing back then. Just as Wen Man was puzzled, Jingci called personally, explaining that this time it was Jingchen's idea.

Jingchen and Baiwei are doing well and want to bring Baiwei to Jing's family wedding banquet.

It's best if Wen Man accompanies me.

Wen Man hung up the phone and touched her forehead, feeling quite helpless. It was not easy to refuse.

Zhou Muyan tapped the table, looking quite displeased: "Marriage You're still hanging around with your old flame"

Wen Man didn't want to talk about these things with him.

She said in a cold voice: “There’s a piano that needs to be moved to headquarters. Can you help”

Zhou Muyan ground her pearly white teeth: "Manager Wen, you're really good at using people. I've given you all my flesh and blood... I don't care, I want to attend the wedding of our old friend with you and eat and drink for free! You have to compensate me!"

……

Eagerly Law Firm.

Today, a big shot came, Zhou Chuanren, the richest man in the south and the mayor.

Zhou Chuanren sat in Huo Shaoting's office, making polite small talk: "Shao Ting, you've really made things lively here!"

Ho Shao-ting naturally humbly said, "I can't compare to Mr. Zhou!" an eyebrow slightly and smiled faintly, "Something happened Isn't it good to just leave all this mess behind! You don't know how tired I am, seeing so many people every day, dealing with all these th...
