After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Chapter 408 How can you guarantee it?

The next afternoon, Qiao Shinian arrived at the cigar shop that Huo Yuanze mentioned on time.

A variety of cigar boxes are displayed in the exhibition area, and exquisite paintings are hung on the surrounding walls. As soon as you step into the museum, a faint fragrance hits your nose.

The staff led Qiao Shinian to the VIP lounge, where the dark leather sofas, soft cashmere carpets and exquisite coffee tables exuded low-keyness and luxury.

Huo Yuanze sat on the sofa, holding a teacup in one hand, while listening to the staff respectfully introducing various new types of cigars to him, his expression full of the solemnity of a superior.

Compared to Huo Yanci, Huo's father gave people a more domineering feeling, making people afraid to approach him casually.

Qiao Shinian had not met Huo's father many times, and this was the first time they met alone.

Just like the previous times, this time Qiao Shinian also felt resistance and kept his distance from Mr. Huo.

She really couldn't imagine how depressed she would be if she grew up under such pressure from her father.

"arrive."

Just as Qiao Shinian was thinking, the staff member who was accompanying her informed her softly. Huo Yuanze raised his eyes when he heard the noise.

Qiao Shinian called out "Mr. Huo" in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Huo Yuanze did not respond, but pointed to a cigar on the staff's tray, and the staff immediately helped Huo Yuanze take it out from the tray.

Huo Yuanze then looked at Qiao Shinian again and motioned for Qiao Shinian to sit on the sofa in front.

Qiao Shinian sat down slowly, while the staff cut and lit the cigars in an orderly manner.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

While Huo Yuanze was asking questions, he picked up a cigar and took a puff. Perhaps he was not satisfied with the smell, so he frowned.

The staff was very considerate and replaced Huo Yuanze with another cigar.

Qiao Shinian spoke up, "Mr. Huo, if I disturb your interest in tasting cigars, I can come in later."

Huo Yuanze picked up a new cigar and smelled it. Perhaps the taste was suitable, so he asked the staff to cut it. He waved his hand, and the other party immediately left respectfully.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Huo Yuanze asked calmly while lighting a cigar.

The smell of cigars lingered in the room. Qiao Shinian maintained a polite attitude and asked directly: "Mr. Huo, do you know a woman named Wu Mengxue?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuanze's face was obviously more dissatisfied, and his tone was also unhappy, "If you want to inquire about someone, bring up the other person's origin and title, otherwise how do I know who you are talking about."

Yes, instructing Wu Mengxue did not require Huo Yuanze to make arrangements personally. He only needed to give the order and his subordinates would naturally complete it for him. It was normal that he did not know Wu Mengxue.

But since Huo Yuanze met her today, he must know who Wu Mengxue she was talking about.

Facing Huo Yuanze's pretentious behavior, Qiao Shinian smiled and said, "Sales manager of xx toiletries company."

As expected, Huo Yuanze didn't know about such insignificant companies and people. He said indifferently, "I've never heard of them."

Qiao Shinian laughed again, "Ms. Wu appeared in the same cafe as your secretary not long ago. She did not deny knowing you, and she also approached my uncle according to your wishes."

"Mr. Huo, I wonder how my uncle has offended you that you need to go to so much trouble?" Qiao Shinian asked.

Hearing Qiao Shinian's not-so-polite tone, Huo Yuanze put down his cigar and frowned.

"Your uncle? The one who kept bragging about how great he was on the old lady's birthday?"

At Grandma Huo's birthday party, my uncle had just negotiated a "big deal" with the help of the Cheng family. He was very proud of himself. In order to make friends with the Huo family and make them look up to him, my uncle often talked about his "great achievements".

Now that he was singled out by Mr. Huo, Qiao Shinian felt a little embarrassed.

Qiao Shinian knew that Mr. Huo did it on purpose. He was telling her that someone of Qiao Guosheng's status was not worthy of his attention and he was unwilling to do it himself.

Qiao Shinian was not angry, and said calmly, "My uncle is indeed ambitious and likes to make friends with powerful people, but this is his personal problem, not a reason for him to become your cannon fodder."

"If Mr. Huo doesn't know the whole story, I can explain it to you in detail,"

Qiao Shinian didn't want to continue to argue with Huo Yuanze, so she said directly: "Or, you can listen to the recording of the conversation between Wu Mengxue and I yesterday."

Huo Yuanze certainly didn't have the patience to listen to Qiao Shinian's explanation and recording. He didn't ask about Wu Mengxue anymore. He picked up the teacup and sat back on the sofa in a superior posture.

"You came to me today, do you want to ask someone, or do you want to solve your uncle's troubles?"

"Asking people is secondary. I also really want to solve my uncle's troubles."

"But I want to know more about how my uncle offended Mr. Huo. If I don't find the reason, I'm afraid that after my uncle solves this trouble, there will be another one."

Qiao Shinian looked at Huo Yuanze and said, "So, Mr. Huo, please give me some advice."

Huo Yuanze's eyebrows were still full of arrogance. "You are smarter than I thought."

No matter how smart they are, they are just showing off their skills in front of you.

Of course, Qiao Shinian only said this in her heart. She kept her mouth shut and continued to wait for what Mr. Huo had to say next.

As expected, after drinking the tea, Huo Yuanze spoke lightly, "I heard that Yan Ci didn't give up on you after the divorce and always wanted to win you back?"

Qiao Shinian frowned slightly, realizing that Mr. Huo's sudden mention of Huo Yanci was definitely not for no reason. Was Mr. Huo targeting his uncle because of this?

"Don't worry, Mr. Huo. Since I have divorced Huo Yanci, I have no plans to be with him." Qiao Shinian promised.

Huo Yuanze sneered, "How can you guarantee that?"

Qiao Shinian became even more certain that Mr. Huo was willing to see her today because of Huo Yanci.

But why did Mr. Huo use such a roundabout way?

Why not just make an appointment with her directly?

Qiao Shinian simply asked, "What does Mr. Huo want me to do in order to believe it?"

Huo Yuanze picked up the cigar again, lit it with the cigarette lighter, took a puff casually, and was not in a hurry to state the conditions.

Instead, he said, "Yan Ci was caught by the shareholders for not distinguishing between public and private affairs because of you, and two days ago he abandoned the board of directors in the meeting room to help your uncle deal with an emergency."

"Because of these, the directors have a big prejudice against him. If things continue to escalate, he will be kicked out of the board and even kicked out of the Huo Group with just a word from me."

Qiao Shinian didn't say anything. That day at her grandfather's house, she heard Zhou Tiancheng on the phone say that many directors of the Huo company were going there, and asked Huo Yanci to return in time.

Not long after, her uncle was blocked by Wu Mengxue's ex-husband and was looking for trouble. After she arrived at the scene, Huo Yanci also showed up and took the attack for her.

So, that day, Huo Yanci abandoned all the directors and ran to save her and her uncle's business?

Think about how he and the driver sent Huo Yanci to the hospital. When they were about to get off the car, Huo Yanci's phone rang. His expression suddenly changed, and he left in a hurry without even entering the hospital. Was it to appease the directors?
