Huo Mingze looked fixedly at Shen Mo Di as they stared into each other's eyes.
Shen Mo Di asked again, "No matter what happens, you won't look back, will you?"
Huo Mingze nodded. "Yes, no matter what happens, I won't look back."
Whether Yao Yutong would live or die, whether she would be glorious or down and out in the future, it had nothing to do with him.
Mo Di extended her little finger in front of Huo Mingze and said, "Then let's work hard together to manage our marriage well."
Since Huo Mingze had already made his stance clear, if she were to say something like "If you still like her, if you want to go back to her, I'm willing to divorce you to fulfill your relationship" to Huo Mingze, it would not only make her seem like a saint but also be an insult to Huo Mingze.
Huo Mingze was the same kind of person as she was.
When in love, they would give wholeheartedly and be open and aboveboard without any regrets.
When ending a relationship, no matter how painful it was, they would never look back.
Seeing the star-like brightness in Mo Di's eyes, Huo Mingze reached out and hooked his little finger with hers. "In the future, whether we are poor or rich, I will always be your support."
Mo Di was deeply touched. She pressed her thumb against his and promised, "In the future, whether we are healthy or ill, I will always be by your side, helping each other in difficult times and staying together forever."
Huo Mingze smiled at Mo Di and then pulled her into his arms.
She wasn't wearing high heels and was half a head shorter than him. He liked to hold her like this, just reaching around her neck and holding her entire body in his arms.
His hand cupped the back of her head, and he could just touch her hair.
When he raised his head, his chin could rest on the top of her head, and he could smell the fragrance of her hair with his nose.
Mo Di's nose bumped against Huo Mingze's chest, and it hurt a little, but she felt that Huo Mingze's embrace was so warm.
On the way back to the ward, Huo Mingze asked Mo Di if she was free the day after tomorrow. He wanted to attend a business cocktail party to meet more people, but he needed a female companion.
Mo Di immediately agreed.
If she could help Huo Mingze, she would find a way to squeeze out time even if she was really busy.
Huo Mingze wanted to take Mo Di to buy some wedding jewelry, but Mo Di refused as she wanted to save money.
Huo Mingze said that jewelry was needed for attending the cocktail party.
Mo Di said that it could be rented.
Seeing that she was burdened with such concerns, Huo Mingze smiled helplessly. "Then we'll buy it later."
"yes." Mo Di also smiled at Huo Mingze.
...
On the other side.
Song Keying had been waiting for news.
It wasn't until evening that she received a call.
The task had been botched.
They didn't hit Shen Mo Di but instead killed a stranger.
Song Keying was furious and scolded on the phone, "Are you useless? Ah? I told you clearly to seize the right moment and make sure to kill her with one blow."
The person on the other end of the phone explained, "It's really not that we didn't do our best. It was just so sudden. We clearly saw Shen Mo Di crossing the road, but then she went back."
Song Keying was so angry that her liver hurt. "Then couldn't you brake in time, go back, or wait by the roadside until she crossed the road again and then hit her? Ah?"
"We clearly saw her crossing the road, so we thought we could kill her with one blow. If it weren't for her answering a phone call and suddenly going back, we would have succeeded. At that time, our car was going too fast, and the inertia killed another passerby."
Song Keying gritted her teeth in anger. "Now it's like stealing chickens only to end up losing the rice. If someone investigates this car accident, you know what to do, right?"
"They won't investigate. We've already reached a settlement with the victim's family and compensated them with 300,000 yuan. The victim's family is happy counting the money. Don't worry, we'll pay this money ourselves. We'll find another opportunity to complete the task." The person on the other end of the phone said.
Hearing that the victim's family wouldn't investigate, Song Keying's anger subsided a little.
The person on the other end of the phone comforted her again, "Don't worry. People's lives are fast-paced these days, and car accidents happen every day. When the time comes, we'll handle it cleanly."
Song Keying's complexion looked a bit better. She instructed on the phone, "Find another opportunity. As long as the task is completed successfully, I won't treat you badly. I'll pay the 300,000 yuan compensation for the victim."
"Okay, okay, thank you!" The person on the other end of the phone was obsequious.
Song Keying rolled her eyes at the air and hung up the phone.
...
At a little after eight o'clock in the evening, Huo Mingze received a report.
His people had carefully investigated Yao Yutong's recent whereabouts and determined that Yao Yutong had only asked someone to invite Shen Mo Di out and that the car accident had nothing to do with her.
They had also investigated the driver. He had 13 years of driving experience. Neither the driver nor his close relatives' accounts had any abnormalities recently, and they hadn't purchased any big-ticket items recently.
They had also retrieved the surveillance footage of various sections of the road to check the driver's recent whereabouts. He was a deliveryman for a landscaping company.
Most of the time, he drove a pickup truck, and occasionally a large truck. Because this landscaping company delivered a lot of succulents and small potted plants to flower shops.
The driver hadn't had any contact with Yao Yutong or the people around her recently.
Huo Mingze narrowed his eyes as he looked at the report.
He sent a message back: Select two brothers with good fighting skills and secretly protect Shen Mo Di.
...
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the business cocktail party.
These two days, Xiao Guang had recovered quite well. He accompanied his father in the hospital room every day.
Although Shen Weiguo's condition wasn't good, it was relatively stable.
Mo Di was much more at ease.
In these two days, she had drawn the design of that ring and redrawn a whole set of maple leaf jewelry.
She had managed to deal with Supervisor Hu.
At a little after four o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Mingze drove over to pick up Mo Di.
Today, he didn't drive the Chevrolet but a Bentley.
Mo Di was extremely shocked and looked up to examine Huo Mingze.
The texture of his suit today seemed especially good, clearly of a very expensive kind.
Being examined by Mo Di, Huo Mingze explained, "You can't drive a too shabby car to attend a cocktail party. You'll be looked down upon."
He couldn't lie to Mo Di and say that the car was rented, nor did he dare to tell her directly that it was his own car.
Although he hadn't known Mo Di for a long time, he found that he understood her quite well.
She was different from many women. Other women were eager to find a rich man, but she would instead feel that wealth was a pressure and a burden.
Perhaps it had something to do with her family education or her previous relationship.
After attending this cocktail party, he would explain it to her carefully.
Thinking that the Bentley was rented, Mo Di nodded understandingly.
Businessmen sometimes need to put on a good front.
Huo Mingze took Mo Di to get her hair and makeup done.
After getting the styling done, Huo Mingze handed the dress and jewelry to Mo Di.
Mo Di was stunned.
That set of jewelry was worth at least 2 million yuan.
Thinking that the Bentley was rented and assuming the jewelry was also rented, she took the jewelry and dress and asked, "Is it a very high-end cocktail party?"
"yes." Huo Mingze responded. Then he smiled and said, "Don't be too nervous. I'll be by your side all the time."
"okay." Mo Di smiled and responded.
Actually, she wasn't nervous.
Previously, Gu Tianxi had also taken her to attend various business banquets, saying it was for her to get used to it in advance.
She went to change into the dress.
Opening the dressing room door, she walked out gracefully holding the hem of her dress.
Huo Mingze was originally sitting on the sofa flipping through a fashion magazine. When a splash of purple caught his eye, he looked up and was immediately dazzled...
