The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

The moon was as cold as frost, and there were no stars in the sky.

The Maybach stopped at Guanchao Manor. Shen Jingjue got out of the car alone and told the driver: "Send Secretary Han back. I can go in by myself. There is no need to follow."

"But Mr. Shen, there were a few big thunders in the sky when I first came back. It's going to rain."

Han Xian couldn't help but worry, "It's a long way from the gate to the villa, so I'd better send you in."

"Need not."

Shen Jingjue's eyebrows were cold and gloomy, and he clasped his fingers on the Windsor knot and gently pulled it, "My chest is a little tight and I want to go for a walk alone. You can go back."

"It's... Mr. Shen."

Han Xian lay on the car window like a loyal repairman, staring eagerly at Shen Jingjue until the car completely disappeared in the night.

Shen Jingjue took a deep breath, turned around and walked back to the manor.

As a result, before taking two steps, thunder fell from the sky.

It's raining.

By the time Shen Jingjue walked into the villa, he was in a mess from head to toe and was already soaked to the skin.

It was late autumn, and the wind and rain hit him hard, blowing on his face. It was cold and hard, but the depression in his heart was particularly clear.

"Oh my god! Master! Why are you so wet?! Where is the driver? Where is Xiao Han?!" Wu's mother ran over to meet him in panic.

His face was pale, his wet black bangs covered a pair of twinkling peach blossom eyes, his thin lips trembled slightly, and his arms hanging by his sides were still dripping with water.

It seems like a handsome sea god who came ashore from the vast deep sea and transformed into a human form.

"Mama Wu..."

There was a lump in his throat and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there any wine? I want to drink some."

"You're crazy if you drink alcohol after being soaked like this! I'm going to make some ginger soup for you now. You go upstairs and change clothes and take a hot bath. Go!"

Wu Ma was heartbroken. She turned around to prepare, but was grabbed by Shen Jingjue.

"I just want to drink, let me drink."

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Wu Ma felt that something was wrong with him.

Shen Jingjue couldn't bear it anymore and said with red eyes, "I met Tang Qiao'er tonight."

"Young Madam! You met the Young Madam!"

Wu Ma was quite happy at first, but his next words made her frown again, "There is someone beside her."

"Who?"

"She has a boyfriend." A few short words came out of Shen Jingjue's mouth, hoarse and broken.

Wu Ma took a breath of cold air and stared in shock, "So fast?! Sigh... But it's normal. The young lady is so outstanding, has a kind heart and a high family background. Even if she gets divorced, there is still a market, so she doesn't have to worry about remarrying."

remarry?

Shen Jing felt that his eyes were red as if they were about to bleed, and his heart was beating heavily, as if he was counting down the seconds.

"So, why you are like this tonight, being soaked in the rain and having to drink, is it because the young lady has a boyfriend?" Wu Ma looked at him seriously.

"I don't know..." The man shook his head absentmindedly.

"Master, if you feel uncomfortable because the love that the young lady originally gave you has been given to someone else, I advise you to quickly adjust your mentality and let go of yourself. This will be good for you and the young lady.

But if you are pure and want the young lady, even if you are separated now, it seems that everything is too late. But I still hope that you... can recognize your own heart and bring the young lady back. "

Wu Ma put her warm hands on Shen Jingjue's damp shoulders, her eyes burning brightly, "Young Master, even if it's in vain in the end, at least you won't regret it.

Moreover, Madam, she deserves it. "

Do you understand your own heart?

Shen Jingjue kept shaking his head, denying something in his painful heart.

But every time he denies it, his heart will hurt a little bit.

After graduating from the Royal Conservatory of Music of Country Y, Huo Zhaozhao was originally selected to join the Royal Symphony Orchestra, but in the end she gave up her spot and chose to return to Shengjing.

Shengjing is an economic center, not a cultural center. There is a sense of materialistic money everywhere, and the artistic atmosphere is far less strong than that of Country Y. It is not wise to come back.

However, she herself had a little plan that even Huo Ruxi didn't know about.

She learned from her eldest brother that Shen Jingjue had completely broken up with Jin Enrou, and it was impossible to get back together.

That's why her heart rekindled and she hurried back to Shengjing, ready to launch her plan to kill the man!

Today, with nothing to do, Huo Zhaozhao invited Shen Bailu to his home.

Miss Huo Er was spoiled, arrogant, and conceited about her beauty, so she basically looked down upon the wealthy ladies in Shengjing's circle.

But she was very close to Shen Bailu alone, and there was only one reason for that - because she was the daughter of the Shen family.

Shen, she felt that only people from such a family background were worthy of being friends with her.

"Oh, sister Bai Lu, you are so beautifully dressed today! You even brought a gift. You are so polite."

Huo Zhaozhao came to the door to greet Shen Bailu with a bright smile on his face. The two held hands, looking like a pair of intimate besties.

"Zhaozhao! I miss you so much~ You are more beautiful than the last time I saw you!"

Shen Bailu was full of beautiful words, but she also had her own plans in mind.

Huo Ruxi is famous for doting on her sisters. If she can have a good relationship with this girl, wouldn't she have a reason to frequent the Huo family?

She could save the country through curveballs, take the opportunity to please Mrs. Huo, and let Huo Zhaozhao give Huo Ruxi some nice words. Then wouldn't it be just around the corner for her to become the eldest mistress of the Huo family?

a ha ha ha! She is so smart!

"I went to Europe two days ago and bought some souvenirs. Some are for you and some for Mrs. Huo. They are not too valuable, so don't dislike them."

Huo Zhaozhao looked at the mountains of luxury boxes and said with an intriguing smile, "Are there any gifts for my eldest brother in this?"

"Yes, yes, yes...it's just that they are afraid that your elder brother won't like it and won't accept it..." Shen Bailu's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head shyly.

"Yo yo yo, look~ You have to like my big brother so much that he would blush like a peach just by mentioning it!"

Huo Zhaozhao smiled and hooked his hand at her, "Leave it to me. As long as I give it to eldest brother, he will definitely take it."

"Thank you so much, Zhaozhao! I love you~" Shen Bailu was ecstatic and quickly took out the gift for Huo Ruxi.

Huo Zhaozhao took the exquisite box and opened it. It was a lapel pin made of platinum and inlaid with sapphires on both ends. It was obvious at a glance that it was expensive.

At this time, Huo Ruxi just walked down the European palace-style retro spiral staircase. She was wearing a YSL purple haute couture suit and a black silk shirt with dark rose patterns. She looked as evil as ever, yet noble.

Shen Bailu looked up blankly at the male god in her heart, her mouth slightly opened in shame, almost salivating.

"Brother~!" Huo Zhaozhao called him sweetly.

Huo Ruxi originally smiled lovingly when she saw her sister, but the moment she saw Shen Bailu, her phoenix eyes suddenly became cold and conflicted.

"Miss Shen San, why are you here?"

"I...I..." Shen Bailu swallowed hard, frightened for a second.

"Brother, I invited Sister Bai Lu to our home as a guest."

Huo Zhaozhao hurriedly hugged Shen Bailu and leaned on her shoulder intimately, "Sister Bailu and I have always had a good relationship. Don't you know? She is my best friend in Shengjing."

"Really, I really don't know."

Huo Ruxi narrowed her narrow eyes and said sarcastically, "Zhaozhao, I don't object to you making friends, but you must keep your eyes open when choosing friends.

Some friends are good mentors and can be the guiding light on your life path. And some friends have evil intentions and can only lead you into the gutter. "

Huo Zhaozhao glanced at Shen Bailu calmly. At this moment, Shen San's face turned pale with embarrassment.

"I know, brother, I'm already twenty-two years old, can't I still tell the good guys from the bad guys?"

"Brother knows that you have not been in Shengjing all these years and don't have many friends. If you really want to make friends, eldest brother can introduce you to Tang Qiaoer, the eldest lady of the Tang family, the beautiful sister you met the night before yesterday."

When Huo Ruxi mentioned Tang Qiao'er, it was like she was in love for the first time, and her tone softened, "It just so happens that she is an old acquaintance with your mentor Christian. You will definitely have a lot to talk about, and you will definitely become friends soon."

That beautiful woman? friend? !

Huo Zhaozhao sneered in his heart, what a joke, how could he become friends with his love rival!

Huo Ruxi walked up to her sister and pinched her little face tenderly. Just as she was about to leave, Huo Zhaozhao thrust the gift into his hand.

"Brother, this is the gift that Sister Bai Lu picked for you all the way from France. You must keep it well because of her thoughtfulness." Huo Zhaozhao winked at him with his big innocent eyes.

Huo Ruxi took the box and walked away gracefully without saying anything.

"Look, what am I talking about? As long as I give it away, my eldest brother will definitely accept it." Huo Zhaozhao put his hands on his hips proudly.

Shen Bailu was so excited that she almost shed tears, and looked at Huo Zhaozhao movedly.

……

Huo Ruxi walked out the door with a calm and handsome face.

He looked coldly at the delicate box in his hand, not even wanting to open it and take a look. He raised his arms and wanted to throw it away.

At this time, he thought of his sister's words again, and when he saw the female secretary standing next to the car, he licked the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue and threw the box to her.

The female secretary hurriedly caught it and asked blankly: "Mr. Huo, this is..."

"A present for you."

The female secretary opened it and looked at it, and was stunned, "But Mr. Huo, this is a men's lapel pin. I don't even have a boyfriend, so I can't use it."

Huo Ruxi's phoenix eyes glared irritably, "Tsk, your boyfriend doesn't have a father, so why don't you just give up?"
