The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it
Chapter 176 The battle begins
Huo Zhaozhao was young, beautiful and thin-skinned. His face suddenly turned red and he was very embarrassed.
"Ajue, do you dislike Zhaozhao using his own chopsticks to pick up food? She hasn't used it yet, so she gave you the first bite." Huo Ruxi frowned and was the first to stand up to support her sister.
"Sorry, second brother, I didn't think carefully. I should have used serving chopsticks."
Huo Zhaozhao hurriedly changed his chopsticks, picked up another piece of squirrel mandarin fish and wanted to put it on Shen Jingjue's plate, but he stopped him again.
"I'll just do it myself."
Huo Zhaozhao pouted, "Humph, I haven't come back for several years. Second brother, are you divorced from me? We even had an ice cream when we were kids!"
"When I was young, I was young. But now you are not young anymore." Shen Jingjue lowered his long eyelashes and took a small piece of crab meat lion head into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
Huo Zhaozhao's heart tightened and his face darkened. He depressedly put the fish meat into his mouth and bit it hard.
Shen Jingjue looked at the exquisite and delicious dishes on the table and remembered that Tang Qiaoer often cooked for him in the past.
He knew that these dishes were time-consuming and laborious, and he also knew that she had been busy in the kitchen all afternoon. The smoke from the cooking pot made her face oily, but she still coughed lightly despite holding back.
However, he never praised her.
Even if her cooking is at the level of a state banquet chef, even if he doesn't want to admit it, every time he eats her food, he wants to add another bowl of rice.
He felt an inexplicable pang in his heart when he thought of the pitiful look in that little woman's eyes every time she looked forward to his praise with starry eyes, but was disappointed in the end.
But after a brief period of disappointment, Tang Qiaoer always regained her composure and smiled at him with her beautiful eyes.
——"Next time, next time I will do better!"
next time.
Will there be a next time?
With his thoughts at this point, Shen was surprised to feel that the delicious food in his mouth was like chewing wax, and it became difficult to swallow.
"Second brother, I heard from Sister Bai Lu that you are currently busy with AdaWang's wedding. Are you competing with KSWORLD Hotel for the right to host it?"
After a while, Huo Zhaozhao spoke again.
Thinking that Shen Jingjue would be interested in the official matter, he put his hand on his chin, blinked his big eyes and asked innocently, "I heard that Ada Wang will be coming to Shengjing in a few days.
Second brother, are you planning to hold a wedding banquet? We can also use this opportunity to promote the hotel, after all, Ada is an international superstar! "
Shen Jing felt that his peach blossom eyes were slightly cold, but his face was calm.
What bothers him the most is talking about business during family dinners.
What's even more annoying is that irrelevant people are inquiring about the internal affairs of his group.
"Ah."
"Can I help you with anything?" Huo Zhaozhao's big eyes flashed.
"Need not."
"I can play piano music for AdaWang and other guests! This is my specialty!"
Huo Zhaozhao tried his best to show himself in front of Shen Jingjue.
"No need."
Shen Jingjue frowned slightly and refused without thinking, "You are the daughter of the Huo family, so this is inappropriate. Professionals will be hired to perform on site."
Huo Zhaozhao's face fell instantly: "Then second brother thinks I'm not professional enough."
Shen Jingjue suddenly lost his appetite.
He originally came to the dinner party because he didn't want to offend Mrs. Huo and Huo Ruxi, but now he felt extremely annoyed.
"Ajue, Zhaozhao is also a close disciple of a top pianist. It's more than enough to go to your reception banquet, so just let her go." Huo Ruxi chewed her elbow and spoke to her sister.
"Yes, Jingjue, Zhaozhao treats you like a real brother, just let her help you this time." Mrs. Huo also doted on her daughter very much and advised her not to let her down.
"Second brother, I will definitely play well and won't embarrass you." Huo Zhaozhao showed a pitiful expression.
Shen Jingjue frowned and could only nod.
After dinner, Shen Jingjue said goodbye and left.
As soon as he left the Huo family's gate, Han Xian received important news and hurriedly conveyed it to him.
"Mr. Shen, something went wrong. Your plan collided with KS's!"
Shen Jing felt his heart pounding and asked coldly: "Tang Qiao'er also prepared a wedding banquet for AdaWang on the same day?"
"Boss Shen is wise!"
Han Xian couldn't help pinching his sweat and asked cautiously, "Young madam, with her character of not letting go of rabbits, and her sharp mouth that can even pee out of dead toads, do you think she won't really amputate Sister Ada?" Are you crazy? How about we..."
"what?"
Han Xian grinned and showed his bright white teeth, "Why don't you just let the young lady do it this time? It's not the final decision, it's just a feast. A good man won't fight with a woman, let alone a husband and wife who will be blessed for a hundred days..."
"no!"
Shen Jingjue's eyebrows suddenly tightened, and he said without hesitation, "Now that Alexa can't work, we have to start with AdaWang. Tang Qiaoer wants to go with us, which means that she is in the same situation as us.
At this time, any small progress may cause the situation to change rapidly, and I cannot let her do this. No matter what method is used, AdaWang must be allowed to participate in our reception banquet! "
After saying that, the big boss got into the luxury car with a solemn expression.
Han Xian was stunned in place, his expression gradually becoming mournful.
Wow, they say women are made of water and men are made of mud. They, Mr. Shen, seem to be made of reinforced concrete.
How could such a straight man win back the young lady’s heart?
At this moment, Shen Jingjue, who was sitting in the carriage, leaned back and took a deep breath.
Should he, like Han Xian said, let Tang Qiaoer go for a while?
But from the divorce to now, he has never defeated her once.
She had always been riding high, overwhelming him, crushing him with an overwhelming attitude, and killing him completely.
He was shocked to find that Tang Qiaoer was no longer the calm, gentle and simple little woman. She is so smart, noble, excellent, and fierce... She seems to be getting more and more out of reach for him.
Therefore, he really wanted to win her once, as if this would shorten the distance between them.

Late at night, Huo Ruxi went out to ACE for some entertainment.
With only mother and daughter left at home, Huo Zhaozhao came to his mother's room, climbed onto the bed and acted coquettishly in Mrs. Huo's arms.
Mrs. Huo thought about the scene at the dinner table just now and couldn't help but say to her: "Zhaozhao, why did your attitude toward Jingxue become so attentive tonight, making Jingxue feel reserved?"
Mrs. Huo sighed angrily, "You are no longer the same as when you were a child, and I am surprised that you are no longer the big brother who used to coax you to play. He is now the president of the Shen family, and his status is very noble. Every move is watched by countless pairs of eyes. Look at him. I'm afraid it won't be appropriate for you to act coquettishly towards him again in the future. I think you should still..."
"Mom." Huo Zhaozhao suddenly sat up and looked at Mrs. Huo seriously, "I'm not acting like a spoiled brat, and I never regard Shen Jingjue as my brother."
"What did you say?" Mrs. Huo looked confused.
"Why do you think I turned down the royal music troupe of country Y and gave up my great future to return to Shengjing? It's not because of my second brother. I want to marry him and be his wife!"
"what?!"
Mrs. Huo sat up suddenly, her eyes widened in shock, "Are you crazy? He is your brother!"
"It's not a kiss anyway!"
Huo Zhaozhao refused, his eyes brightening when he thought of Shen Jingjue, "I have waited for so long, and my second brother finally broke up with that Jin Enrou. Now, no one can stop me."
Facing her daughter who was immersed in sweet imagination, Mrs. Huo's expression was particularly complicated.
"Mom, what's wrong? What's your expression? Don't you want me and my second brother to be together?" Huo Zhaozhao frowned and shook the back of his mother's hand.
"No, I just..."
Mrs. Huo hesitated for a moment and said worriedly, "Although Shen Jingjue is an outstanding person, he is really not a good match. He is not just a childhood sweetheart like Jin Enrou. I heard from your elder brother that he has been married to someone before. A marriage.
Ouch, Zhaozhao, you are too simple and kind, and Shen's situation is very complicated. I'm afraid that you will be wronged and bullied if you marry Jingjue! "
Huo Zhaozhao laughed jokingly in his heart.
simple? I think it’s the Shen family’s big stupid goose, Shen Bailu, which is pretty much the same!
If she gets married, she will definitely play around with those women in the Shen family. Her mother underestimates her!
"Mom! I am the daughter of the Huo family. Our family is no worse than the Shen family. Moreover, you and my eldest brother dote on me so much. If the people of the Shen family dare to bully my eldest brother, I will definitely not let them go!"
"But love is a matter of your own free will. Even if you want to marry, you have to be surprised to be willing to do so!" Mrs. Huo really felt helpless towards her wayward daughter.
Huo Zhaozhao raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth: "With you and eldest brother here, I already have a better chance of winning than others. As long as I can prove to brother Jingjue that I am no longer the child I used to be, I can be useful to him too." , I can also stand beside him, he will definitely see me!"
"But……"
"Oh, there's no such thing as a butt, Mom, anyway, I won't marry unless I have my second brother in this life!"
