The word "wife" made Yao Yutong's blood boil. If she had more strength in her hands, the goblet in her hand would have already been smashed into pieces.
Her girlfriend lowered her voice to voice her grievance for Yao Yutong: "Oh, men are really all the same, all playboys. No matter how good they are when in love, they can seamlessly move on to marry someone else right after turning around. Do they really have no feelings?
You don't know. Recently, Douyin has been constantly pushing this kind of male-female relationship content to me. There are so many losers who were in a good relationship, looking all affectionate, but just because the dowry negotiation didn't go well, they immediately went back to their villages to go on blind dates and marry other women. Is it that for them men, any woman will do?"
"Stop it!" Yao Yutong was so angry that she could hardly breathe.
Because she saw Shen Mo Di enjoying the halo that once belonged to her.
At this moment, Mr. Liu from Juli Investment was being polite and attentive to Shen Mo Di, pouring out compliments like beans spilling from a ladle: "Mrs. Huo is really beautiful! I was originally wondering what kind of girl would be worthy of the young and accomplished, handsome Mr. Huo. Today, seeing Mrs. Huo, you two are truly a match made in heaven. You are so well-suited."
"You're being too kind." Shen Mo Di smiled gracefully.
Huo Mingze also replied politely, "Thank you, Mr. Liu."
Huo Mingze then took Shen Mo Di to meet other business tycoons, introducing her to everyone as his wife, Shen Mo Di.
Wife?
Huh!
Who was it that said he would only love her in this lifetime?
Who was it that said he would marry no one but her in this lifetime?
Who was it that said he wanted to give her the best of everything in the world?
The more Yao Yutong thought about it, the angrier she got, and she downed the red wine in her glass in one gulp.
Her girlfriend couldn't help but whisper, "Men are all creatures who are attracted by appearances. When women say they want to break up, it's usually just to get the man to coax them. But when men say they want to break up, they can immediately find someone else..."
Seeing that Yao Yutong's face looked awful, her girlfriend sighed and said, "Yutong, now that it's like this, what are you going to do? Alas, you too. Why didn't you coax him back then? Why did you force yourself to go abroad? How can a competition be more important than marriage? You, don't be too career-minded. The most important career for a woman is to pick a high-quality good man."
Yao Yutong sneered inwardly. She had understood this truth since she was a teenager.
Why did she force herself to go abroad?
At that time, her grandmother had analyzed the situation of the Huo family for her. The possibility of Huo Mingze taking over as the helm of the Huo family had become very small.
Grandpa Huo had two sons, namely Huo Zhenye and Huo Zhendong.
Huo Zhenye was the eldest son and had two sons and a daughter.
Huo Zhendong was the second son and had a son and a daughter, and the son was Huo Mingze.
Originally, as the grandson of the second branch, Huo Mingze was not qualified to take on the big responsibility of the Huo family.
Six years ago, Huo Mingze fell in love with her at first sight. Why did she accept Huo Mingze?
Because at that time, Huo Mingze's eldest uncle had already been removed from the position of president due to malfeasance, and Huo Mingze's father had served as the president of the Huo family for more than seven years.
At that time, the second branch of the Huo family was extremely prosperous.
So, she didn't hesitate to choose to be Huo Mingze's girlfriend.
After that, Huo Mingze went to study abroad, and she also went abroad to study. They were in love while studying.
Four years ago, Huo Mingze returned from studying abroad and entered the Huo Group to work.
Once he entered the Huo Group, he became the deputy general manager of the Huo Group's head office.
In addition, Huo Mingze's eldest cousin, Huo Zhengqin, was also the deputy general manager.
The two had the same position and managed different subsidiaries of the group respectively, naturally forming a competitive pattern.
Huo Mingze was excellent in work ability and his performance far surpassed that of Huo Zhengqin.
Huo Mingze's father was the president of the Huo Group. Under such circumstances, Huo Mingze was basically the heir of the Huo Group in the future.
So, she was waiting for Huo Mingze to propose to her and then become Mrs. Huo.
She even started to regulate her body from the year before last. She was ready to start preparing for pregnancy and having a child immediately after getting married.
In a wealthy and powerful family, offspring are of utmost importance.
For a woman to have a stable position in a wealthy family, it is best to have children every year.
If she has several sons, her position will be as stable as Mount Tai.
To put it bluntly, even if she gets old and loses her looks in the future and the man is lured away by other women, as long as she has several sons, the family property will still belong to her sons.
As long as she holds on to the marriage, she will have money and status, and love doesn't matter at all.
Who would have thought that man proposes, God disposes. Last year, Huo Mingze's father suddenly had a myocardial infarction and died.
He didn't even have time to be sent to the hospital and passed away on the spot.
Last year, Huo Mingze was immersed in sadness and depression.
This year, Huo Mingze finally adjusted himself and proposed to her.
She agreed.
Huo Mingze started to plan the wedding, and she was also waiting to get married.
But her grandmother told her that Grandpa Huo was going to re-employ Huo Mingze's eldest uncle, Huo Zhenye.
If that was the case, the second branch would have no chance.
After all, Huo Zhenye had two sons.
What's more, neither of the two sons was a playboy.
In other words, the first branch of the Huo family was a combination of father and two sons.
While the second branch had only Huo Mingze alone.
In addition, in terms of the Huo family's internal affairs, it was all arranged by Huo Mingze's aunt. Huo Mingze's mother was a person who didn't compete for anything and couldn't be a help to Huo Mingze at all.
After listening to her grandmother's analysis, Yao Yutong decisively found an excuse to go abroad.
She didn't break up with Huo Mingze either. She just planned to take one step at a time. She would keep him on the hook first. Once Huo Mingze lost his power, she would break up with him. And if he gained power, of course she would choose to marry him.
Unexpectedly, Huo Mingze forced her to make a choice, either get married or break up. If she went abroad, they would break up.
She willfully went abroad.
She thought that, like before when they had a tiff, Huo Mingze would turn around and come to coax her.
Who would have thought that he turned around and found a stranger to get married and get the marriage certificate.
"Yutong, what's wrong with you?" Her girlfriend saw that Yao Yutong was in a daze and waved her hand in front of her eyes.
Yao Yutong quickly came to her senses and sighed, looking listless.
She was also very confused and torn now.
She did have a way to win Huo Mingze back.
However, this was a drastic measure. Once she won him back, she would have no way out.
She had been in love with Huo Mingze for six years, but she had never given herself to him.
Huo Mingze had had the idea, but she had refused him.
She said that she would save the most beautiful things for their wedding night, and Huo Mingze was very restrained and respected her.
If she now gave herself to him, Huo Mingze would surely be responsible for her.
At most, she would just give Shen Mo Di a sum of money as compensation.
After all, when it came to feelings, it was her that Huo Mingze loved.
She was just afraid that after she won the man back, he couldn't become the heir of the Huo family in the end. Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?
"Yutong, I'm so angry seeing them being so intimate!" Her girlfriend was indignant.
"Tingting, pour me a glass of wine." Yao Yutong said listlessly.
Her girlfriend immediately poured her a glass of wine.
Yao Yutong picked up the glass and downed it in one gulp.
Beep—
Her cell phone rang.
She frowned impatiently and glanced at it.
It was a message from her grandmother: Huo Mingze has won the bid for the king of land in the southern suburbs and has signed a transnational project. Huo Jianling won't re-employ Huo Zhenye.
Seeing the WeChat message, Yao Yutong perked up immediately and replied quickly: Really?
Grandmother: Yes. After all, the family business will ultimately have to be managed and inherited by the grandchildren.
Yao Yutong immediately replied: "I see, Grandma."
Putting away her phone, the furrowed brows she had before were completely smoothed out, and a smile reappeared on her face.
"Yutong, what's the good news? Did your design win an award again?" asked her girlfriend.
