As expected, Secretary Zhang's flight had a malfunction and was delayed.
She called Huo Shaoting in the waiting room, but Huo Shaoting turned off his phone during the trial.
It was not until the end of the trial at noon that Huo Shaoting turned on his phone and received Secretary Zhang's message. He frowned and thought.
The assistant of his client, Mr. Lin, came over and said respectfully: "Lawyer Huo, our Mr. Lin would like to invite you to dinner."
Huo Shaoting put away his phone and smiled faintly: "Thank your Mr. Lin for me! I won't eat, I have important things to deal with in City B."
As he was talking, Mr. Lin came over.
An entrepreneur in his early 40s with a refined appearance, he shook hands with Huo Shaoting and said affectionately: "Brother Shaoting has a great demeanor in court. Since you have important things to do, I can't stay any longer! Next time you come to City H, you must let me play the role of host."
"Sure." Huo Shaoting was very elegant.
Mr. Lin valued him very much and asked his driver to take Huo Shaoting to the airport... Secretary Zhang was delayed for half a day, so he simply went back with Huo Shaoting on the same flight.
Before the plane took off, Huo Shaoting called Wen Man's cell phone again.
It was still off!
He frowned, guessing that something must have happened! New Biquge

B City.
Wen Man was at home all day.
Aunt Ruan was emotionally unstable, and she stayed with her for a long time.
In the evening, she cooked and served Aunt Ruan. While eating, Wen Man whispered: "I'm going to meet a friend later. Bai Wei introduced me. I think she can help."
Aunt Ruan was suspicious.
Wen Man held her hand: "Really! Aunt Ruan, I want to try."
Maybe Wen Man pretended too well, Aunt Ruan believed it.
After dinner, Wen Man went back to the room and moved out a big box, and took out a photo album from it. Gently opened it, there was a photo of her mother when she was young.
Wen Man gently stroked it.
Her mother passed away when she was ten years old, and a year later her father married Aunt Ruan. Wen Man remembered that her father and Aunt Ruan often quarreled at that time. Once, Aunt Ruan cried very hard and asked him why he was so good to other people's children and even refused to have her own children.
That time, little Wen Man knew that she was not her biological child. She was very scared, afraid that she would be abandoned suddenly. When her father and Aunt Ruan were not quarreling, she would act like a spoiled child and say that she wanted a brother or sister.
But Aunt Ruan never got pregnant!
She loved Wen Boyan deeply and brought up Wen Man. Later, she was pretty good to Wen Man. How could Wen Man bear to let such a woman go to jail for eight or ten years?
A tear fell on the photo, and Wen Man wiped it off gently.
At the door, Aunt Ruan saw it.
Her eyes darkened, and she tried to speak gently, "Didn't you have an appointment? Pack up a little before going out."
Wen Man closed the album and put it away.
She got up and changed her clothes, and when she was ready to go out, she couldn't help hugging Aunt Ruan.
Aunt Ruan felt uneasy.
But when Wen Man raised her eyes, she smiled faintly. She said that the person Bai Wei found was very capable, and Gu Changqing should give face, so Aunt Ruan let her go.
Wen Man closed the door gently, and she leaned against the door for a long time.
——She betrayed herself like this!
At this time, dusk was falling outside, and the red clouds burned the sky red, gorgeous and desolate.
Wen Man watched quietly for a long time, then turned around and got on the bus.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when she arrived at Gu Changqing's villa. Gu Changqing was wearing a three-piece suit, sitting on the sofa drinking. The crystal lamp above him reflected a luxurious light, making his handsome face even more handsome!
If it were in the past, Wen Man would have been moved, but now she only felt disgusted.
Gu Changqing's voice was hoarse: "Where have you been? I'll call you all day!"
