Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Expensive Gifts, Compensation for Her

Huo Shaoting finally showed some grace. He stretched out his hand to pull up her skirt and wanted to button it for her.

  "I'll do it myself." Wen Man's voice trembled.

  Her hand grabbed the rice-sized button, but it was too slippery to button. In the end, Huo Shaoting buttoned it for her.

  He apologized again.

  In order to compensate her, he personally called lawyer Jiang Ming and explained the situation of Wen Man's father to him.

  Jiang Ming admired Huo Shaoting as a junior very much. When Huo Shaoting asked, he immediately agreed and made an appointment with Wen Man.

  Huo Shaoting responded with a few more words and hung up the phone.

  He sat behind the desk and lit a cigarette. He said to Wen Man: "In addition to fighting the lawsuit for you, you can make any other requests."

  Wen Man knew that this should be the last time they met.

  If it were in the past, Huo Shaoting might occasionally care about her body, but now it is different. He should have made up his mind to draw a clear line with himself.

  Wen Man is a sensible person.

  She pretended to be relaxed: "It's just a love affair. I don't have any loss! I have to thank Lawyer Huo for his help..."

  Wen Man's nose was a little sour at the end, but she didn't want to cry in front of him. She and Huo Shaoting were not even friends, so there was no point in being pretentious in front of him.

  She said goodbye to him and said she would take a taxi back.

  Huo Shaoting didn't say anything. He still sat there smoking with a dark look in his eyes.

  Wen Man left.

  She didn't go home immediately. She didn't want to face Aunt Ruan's disappointed eyes so soon.

  As night fell, Wen Man walked alone on the street. The Ferris wheel in the city center square lit up with colorful lights, flashing, and young couples hugged and kissed under the Ferris wheel.

  Wen Man stopped.

  She watched quietly, the night wind blew, and her eyes were wet.

  A golden Continental passed by Wen Man, and Huo Shaoting saw Wen Man.

  She stood under the Ferris wheel and looked up at the stars, with nostalgia in her eyes... Huo Shaoting would not be narcissistic enough to think that she was missing him! New Biquge

  He knew clearly who she was thinking about.

  Huo Shaoting stepped on the accelerator, and the Bentley Continental sped away.

  ...

  The next day, Wen Man went to work in the music room, which was the most high-end music training room in City B. Her colleagues all knew that something happened in her family, so they couldn't help but comfort her.

  Wen Man didn't want to affect others, so she smiled and said it was okay.

  At ten o'clock, the city courier delivered something, saying that it was sent by a lawyer named Huo.

  Wen Man opened the outer packaging.

  An exquisite velvet box, inside which lay a diamond necklace.

  It was dazzling and very valuable.

  A colleague quietly told Wen Man: "A necklace of this brand should have a carat count of no less than one million."

  Wen Man didn't want it.

  But there was no contact information for Huo Shaoting on the courier, and she understood that he didn't want to see her again.

  After work, Wen Man went to the "Yingjie" office. She put the velvet box at the front desk and asked her to pass it to Lawyer Huo.

  Although the receptionist was puzzled, she agreed.

  Wen Man was about to leave when Huo Shaoting walked out side by side with a young girl. Wen Man had seen her in a magazine.

  Huo Mingzhu, the apple of Huo's eye, is also Huo Shaoting's only biological sister.

  Half a year ago, Huo Mingzhu returned from studying abroad and quickly fell in love with Gu Changqing.

  At this time, Huo Mingzhu took her brother's arm and acted coquettishly: "Brother, I have asked you out several times, why don't you meet Gu Changqing!"

  Huo Shaoting dismissed his sister nonchalantly.

  Huo Mingzhu pretended to be angry and quarreled with him, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had a good relationship between brother and sister.

  Wen Man watched quietly.

  She did not hate Huo Mingzhu, she was just a little self-deprecating - with

  such a deep brother-sister relationship, why did she think Huo Shaoting could fight a lawsuit for her before?

  Wen Man left quietly.

  Huo Shaoting saw her, he dismissed Huo Mingzhu with a few words and walked to the front desk.

  The receptionist immediately handed him the jewelry box: "Lawyer Huo, this is what the lady just left."

  Huo Shaoting took it and nodded with dignity.

  Back in the office, he casually threw the box into the drawer. For a long time, he almost forgot about Wen Man. Only when his body needed to relax, he would vaguely remember that there seemed to be such a person.

  Very thin waist, straight and long legs...
