.Wen Man's heart was in turmoil. She refused to believe that her father, a towering figure of strength, would take his own life. He had seemed perfectly fine the day she last saw him! She immediately...After Wen Man's face flushed.

She made a call to Auntie Ruan, saying she would go to the hospital to see her father later.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Ruan's attitude was very firm. She said, "Your father is taken care of here, you and Shaoting are together, so you should cultivate your relationship more."

Wen Man was slightly stunned.

Isn't her relationship with Huo Shaoting just the kind that can't be brought onto the table Wen Man wouldn't narcissistically think that because someone helped her, they fell in love with her. There aren't many Cinderella stories in reality.

But she didn't want to upset Aunt Ruan, so she spoke vaguely.

Auntie Ruan was very happy and after giving a few more instructions, she hung up the phone.

Wen Man hung up the phone and fell silent for a while, so absorbed that she didn't even notice her aunt standing in the doorway.

The part-time domestic helper came over to ask about her lunch menu, but as soon as she arrived, she saw Wen Man wearing a men's shirt, her neck and shoulders covered in faint purplish bruises.

Auntie smiled knowingly and, in a tone that spoke of experience, said: "Men are always fresh at the start and they can't help but put in some effort. It's best for women to have a nourishing soup made by me at noon."

Wen Man knew she had misunderstood.

But she didn't need to explain, after all, sooner or later... it was going to happen anyway.

Then Wen Man smiled faintly: "Thank you, Aunt Li."

Aunt Li went out to work efficiently.

After she left, Wen Man pulled open her clothes a little and looked at herself carefully. She was indeed covered in marks that were impossible to ignore. She took a deep breath and had a feeling that Huo Shaoting's needs were greater than those of ordinary men.

Wen Man decided to take a shower.

When the water rushed down, her mind became clearer. She needed to think carefully about how she would proceed in the future.

……

After lunch, Huo Shaoting called her and asked her to pick up some wine from a wine shop for him.

He had stored several cases of high-end red wine there and asked Wen Man to take two bottles home.

Wen Man hummed in response.

So sweet and soft...

Lawyer Huo stood in the high-rise office, looking dignified. He lightly pulled the blinds and chuckled, "Don't you want to ask what I did today"

Wen Man knew he had taken care of her father's affairs, she had said a few sweet words.

Huo Shaoting chuckled again and said nothing more.

Wen Man looked at her phone and thought he was being a little strange.

Since he was fetching the wine, the people there naturally knew him. Wen Man didn't want to lose face for him so she changed into a relatively sophisticated outfit and checked the address again.

It's not far, actually, just near the apartment.

She decided to walk over, both to digest her meal and take a stroll. She'd been too tense lately.

Wen Man smoothly took the wine and carried it back.

As I reached the apartment door, someone suddenly stopped me. "Wen Man,"

A familiar voice made Wen Man startle. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Gu family mother and daughter.

Wen Man had tasted the coldness of human relationships, and seeing them now made her throat tighten. She asked coolly, "Is there something you need"

Mrs. Gu remained calm and smiled, "There's a cafe across the street. How about we talk there"

Wen Man didn't know what happened today, thinking that Mrs. Gu came over especially to give her a check.

She smiled and didn't refuse.

Three people sat down in the cafe. Wen Man didn't order anything proactively.

The family, used to her generosity, felt a little awkward when Wen Man hesitated to pay and ended up ordering only three cups of coffee.

When drinking coffee, Gu's mother looked at Wen Man's red wine and said in a friendly tone, "This kind of wine isn't cheap, it costs over 200,000 yuan for a bottle, right"

Wen Man abruptly raised her eyes and met Gu's mother's scrutinizing gaze.

At that moment, Wen Man understood everything: her relationship with Huo Shaoting was common knowledge among the Gu family.ingchen and introduced several good resources to Wen Man.Wen Man behaved appropriately.She ignored the glances from the second floor....Huo Shaoting stood on the second floor of the banquet hall, dres...
