The dumb wife died with hatred, and she was not obedient after rebirth

Several people's attention was attracted to her.

The old principal was stunned. He was suddenly interrupted, causing his brain to short-circuit for a moment and he stared at the gift box in a daze.

Huo Yixiu glanced at the smiling Ling Zhao, and said to the old principal with a smile: "Principal Ma, this is a gift my wife prepared for you. It's not a valuable item, so don't despise it."

The gift prepared by Ling Zhao was given on behalf of Huo Yixiu, while the one prepared by Fan Wenxin was given on behalf of Huo's mother. They were not the same.

When Fan Wenxin saw the principal's wife just now, the gift had already been given out.

The old principal's mouth twitched slightly, and he took the gift box: "How could it be, your gift...I don't mind."

He held the gift box in both hands and suddenly felt a little at a loss. His wife took the gift box from him. The old principal rubbed his empty hands and felt even more at a loss.

He didn't know how much Huo Yixiu's gift was worth, but no matter how expensive it was, with his current status, he could no longer use his status as the old principal to pressure him to take the job.

The only person standing here is the Director of the Education Bureau, and above him is the entire Ministry of Education.

After not seeing each other for a long time, he seemed to suddenly realize that Huo Yixiu was someone who could have a say with the Ministry of Education.

"Mom and Dad, everything is ready inside. Please go to the auditorium to talk, distinguished guests." The old principal's daughter-in-law came out and called everyone to take their seats.

The conversation was completely interrupted.

The old principal was low-key. This retirement banquet was mainly to pave the way for his son. Eight tables were set up, and those who could sit there were all influential people in the education field. The rest were student representatives who already had status.

Huo Yixiu had the highest status, and he and his wife, along with Fan Wenxin, sat at the same table with the director and other important guests.

Before the dinner officially began, the old principal gave a speech on his career on the stage, talking about how he neglected his family for the sake of his students and how hard his wife worked. The principal's wife wiped tears in the audience.

Ling Zhao tilted his head and listened carefully. Huo Yixiu folded his long legs, put his right hand on his knee, and rubbed his right thumb and index finger slowly.

He glanced at her, his eyes relaxed but deep.

The old principal and the director are in the same boat.

Last year, the boss of a technology company that did system protection was the director’s nephew.

I don’t have the ability, but I make money with confidence.

If it were someone else, they would take the job even if they lost money in order to build a relationship, but Huo Yixiu would definitely not be willing to do so. Fan Wenxin was his confidant, and she knew he would not agree.

However, Ling Zhao quietly rejected the old principal's offer, and his refusal was impeccable.

How did she know he wouldn't agree?

She never interfered with his work, nor did she dare to. In terms of personal relationships and social events, whether in the company or in private, Fan Wenxin always represented him.

Fan Wenxin secretly kept an eye on Huo Yixiu, and looked at Ling Zhao with a wary look.

Her sudden action just now was so unexpected.

Huo Yixiu just said it casually in the car, but she actually dared!

Fan Wenxin would never admit that Ling Zhao's silent refusal was more effective than any other method.

She clenched her glass.

When the three of them were together, she was always the one who stole the show. Ling Zhao, as Mrs. Huo, was just a foil. But now she has become a foil! More like a superfluous one!

At this time, the old principal's speech ended and applause broke out from the audience.

The old principal came down and took his seat, and the dinner officially began.

Next comes the toasting process.

Huo Yixiu had a high status, but his seniority was not as high as those people. He went from table to table to toast with a glass of wine. Fan Wenxin stood up to accompany him. Ling Zhao suddenly held her hand, stood beside Huo Yixiu, and smiled at her.

The scene of three people toasting at the same time is weird.

Ling Zhao remained calm and kept smiling.

In fact, this was the first time she stood beside Huo Yixiu and toasted with him since they got married. She was timid, but after a few drinks she gained courage.

"Yixiu, didn't your mother come to the hotel? Why didn't I see her?" a principal's wife suddenly asked.

Huo Yixiu lowered his eyes and stared at Ling Zhao with a faint smile. Ling Zhao held the wine glass and pursed his lips. Huo Yixiu looked at the lady and repeated what Ling Zhao had said in the car before.

Ling Zhao looked up at him. Huo Yixiu's lips were slightly tilted, and his eyes were fixed on her. He said indifferently, "My mother is serious and responsible at work. Even my wife admires her very much and said she wants to learn from her."

Ling Zhao's face turned slightly hot, and he raised his glass to toast the principal's wife.

The lady gave Huo Yixiu face, drank her wine, and flattered with a smile: "Teacher Du is really a role model in the education field. It is because of a good teacher like her who is serious and responsible that the parents of the students can rest assured, and Principal Ma can also rest assured."

The old principal was standing next to them, and after hearing what he said, he felt even more reluctant to ask Huo Yixiu to do system maintenance.

His face looked unhappy, but he couldn't say anything.

Fan Wenxin's face didn't look very good either, but she managed to maintain her etiquette and followed behind Huo Yixiu and his wife.

She tried several times to push Ling Zhao down, but failed.

Is this mute really determined to secure his position as Mrs. Huo?

Ling Zhao wanted to save face, but she couldn't drink much. When the alcohol took effect, she felt dizzy. Huo Yixiu sent her back to the main table and ordered some tea for her to sober up.

Ling Zhao achieved his goal, and he felt particularly happy seeing Fan Wenxin gritting her teeth in hatred.

Two lifetimes of accumulated resentment, this is just the beginning!

Her stomach felt sick, so she staggered to her feet and went to the bathroom, where she vomited a lot.

Drinking is harmful to your health.

There are two auditoriums on this floor of the hotel, one on the east and one on the west. The other auditorium is also in use. Ling Zhao came out of the bathroom and went in the wrong direction, to the east.

She couldn't recognize the faces of the guests, so she sat down at the main table.

A man next to her moved, put down his phone, tilted his head and stared at her curiously.

"Miss Ling?"

Ling Zhao looked over and narrowed his eyes.

Looks and sounds familiar.

【Doctor Wen? 】

Ling Zhao has a bad throat and has been seeing a doctor on and off over the years.

She met Dr. Wen by chance in the hospital.

At that time, she was cut in line and bullied for not being able to speak. It was Dr. Wen who helped her out and got her an appointment with a hard-to-get specialist.

The man raised his lips and asked, "Why are you here? Do you know the organizer?"

He looked up at the man standing between their tables.

Ling Zhao was thirsty, so he saw a cup of tea in front of him and picked it up to drink.

Suddenly, the little face wrinkled into a ball.

This is not the tea that Huo Yixiu ordered for her, it is medicinal wine!

He took another look at the middle-aged man in Tang suit and realized that he had walked into the wrong hall.

That’s right, why would Dr. Wen be invited to the old principal’s retirement party?

Wen Mingrui saw that her little face was wrinkled so tightly that she covered her mouth with one hand, grabbed the empty bowl with the other hand and spit into it.

Ling Zhao's tongue felt hot and spicy, and his eyes were filled with tears. Wen Mingrui glanced at the wine glass.

Ling Zhao drank the wine that he didn't drink.

It looks like it's going to be bad.

Ling Zhao realized that he had walked into the wrong hall and gestured to Wen Mingrui. At this time, a middle-aged man in a Tang suit came over. Next to him was a woman with a gorgeous face and a charming figure.

"Mingrui, this is the courtesan from Zuifenglou. I finally invited her out to play."

The man pointed at the woman and introduced her. Wen Mingrui's eyes moved and he pulled the chair where Ling Zhao was sitting towards him.

The chair moved, Ling Zhao's body swayed, he lost his balance and fell into Wen Mingrui's arms.

Wen Mingrui took her shoulders to steady her, and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, my girlfriend is here, why are you introducing her to me?"

He had a stern face and pretended to be angry.

The man stared at Ling Zhao and smiled awkwardly: "Your girlfriend? Your mother didn't tell me that you have a girlfriend?"

……

West Hall.

The banquet had not yet ended, but Huo Yixiu had done his part and left midway.

As time goes by, the Huo family is no longer the same as before, and Principal Ma is no longer the same as before. The grudge ends completely today.

When I returned to the main table, Ling Zhao was not there.

He frowned slightly and asked Fan Wenxin to go to the bathroom to check.

Fan Wenxin was overshadowed by Ling Zhao tonight, and she finally managed to get everyone's attention back on herself.

She went to the bathroom and came back to tell Huo Yixiu, "Zhao Zhao isn't here. He must have gone back first."

In previous banquets, Ling Zhao would leave first after she showed up. She was insignificant anyway, and no one cared about her.

Just leave.
