After rebirth, Mrs. Huo only wanted a divorce

Hearing Qiao Shinian's question, Huo Yanci suddenly felt panicked again.

The reason why he chose not to listen to the answer last night was because he was afraid of hearing an unwanted result from Qiao Shinian's mouth.

"Nian Nian, I..."

"I can answer you," Qiao Shinian interrupted Huo Yanci and said directly, "If Mo Xiuyuan really asked me this, I would not refuse."

"I won't refuse" made Huo Yanci feel like he was hit by something, and his heart sank suddenly.

Huo Yanci has done psychological preparation many times, and he has also decided that no matter whether Qiao Shinian forgives him or not, he will silently protect her.

But after hearing Qiao Shinian's answer, Huo Yanci still felt extremely uncomfortable.

Mo Xiuyuan is not Song Qingchuan. Qiao Shinian does not dare to trust Song Qingchuan, but she trusts Mo Xiuyuan very much.

Huo Yanci knew very well how special Mo Xiuyuan was to Qiao Shinian.

If it weren't for the Mo family's strong rejection, after Mo Xiuyuan was injured, Qiao Shinian would definitely choose to take care of him personally until he recovered, and would also agree to Mo Xiuyuan's courtship without hesitation.

Therefore, Huo Yanci also knew that Qiao Shinian's words "I won't refuse" were not just angry words, she would really choose Mo Xiuyuan.

Thinking about the scene of Qiao Shinian and Mo Xiuyuan together, Huo Yanci found that he couldn't remain indifferent.

Seeing the slender Qiao Shinian in front of him, Huo Yanci once again felt deeply regretful.

If he knew that he would be so afraid of losing Qiao Shinian one day, he would not care what Cheng Wanxin said, nor would he care whether Qiao Shinian was scheming or whether she really used the self-torture trick to deceive him.

If his attitude wasn't so cold and bad, Qiao Shinian wouldn't be so unattached to him.

Without saying anything else, Huo Yanci slowly turned around and walked forward.

Looking at Huo Yanci's lonely figure, although Qiao Shinian felt a little reluctant, she did not call him.

……

A few days later, Qiao Shinian was invited to attend a cocktail party in the financial industry.

This cocktail party was of a high standard and was attended by heavyweights. Yiming's fame had increased greatly recently, so Qiao Shinian was fortunate enough to be invited.

The cocktail party was not held in a luxury hotel, but in a private manor with an excellent environment.

Qiao Shinian changed into a classic black evening gown that would never go wrong and asked the driver to take her to the scene.

The manor was built in the style of the Song Dynasty, with ancient charm everywhere.

As soon as she got off the car, Qiao Shinian heard someone calling her from behind, "Niannian."

Qiao Shinian turned around and saw that it was Li Boting who called her.

"Mr. Li?" Qiao Shinian was a little surprised.

Although this kind of cocktail party is of great value, it is just an ordinary industry exchange gathering, but Li Boting actually took the time to attend it.

"Niannian, are you alone? Without a male companion?" Li Boting walked to her side with a gentle and kind tone.

Qiao Shinian shook his head. "I just came here to exchange ideas with the seniors. I don't need a male companion."

Li Boting laughed and agreed with what Qiao Shinian said.

"Niannian, I'm quite familiar with this place. You may feel restrained as you're a newcomer. Do you mind if I take you in and introduce you to some seniors?" Li Boting asked with some anticipation.

This was indeed Qiao Shinian's first time here. Since Li Boting had taken the initiative to ask her, she did not refuse. "Then thank you, Mr. Li."

Li Boting smiled and shook his head, "No trouble, not at all."

So, Qiao Shinian and Li Boting went to the ancient-style hall together.

There was an invitation letter inspection station at the entrance. When Qiao Shinian was about to take the invitation letter out of her bag, the staff at the door respectfully extended their hands to her and Li Boting.

"Mr. Li, please come in."

It seemed that the other party regarded her as Li Boting's female companion. Qiao Shinian wanted to correct her, but heard Li Boting's gentle reminder.

"Ms. Qiao was invited to the reception. Please respect her by calling her by her name and treat her as an excellent and independent guest, not someone's appendage."

Qiao Shinian didn't expect Li Boting to notice such details and take the initiative to protect her, which made her feel respected.

Li Boting's voice was not loud, but his words carried a convincing aura. When the staff heard it, they immediately looked at Qiao Shinian and extended their hands respectfully to her, "Ms. Qiao, please come in too."

Qiao Shinian naturally didn't care about it anymore. She nodded and walked towards the banquet hall with Li Boting.

There are many poems and paintings hanging on the walls of the hall, as well as various bonsai trees with unique shapes, antique chairs, screens, etc., making Qiao Shinian feel like he is in ancient times.

A lot of people have gathered in the hall, some of them are industry veterans who often appear on TV. Everyone's attire is not as grand and formal as usual at a cocktail party, but is mainly comfortable and decent.

When they saw Li Boting, everyone smiled, and some even walked directly towards Li Boting to greet him.

"Mr. Li, why are you here so late? Is this your daughter?" someone asked.

Everyone present had heard that Li Boting had shut down his daughter's company some time ago, as well as the not-so-glorious things his daughter had done.

But no matter what people think in their hearts, no one would mention those unhappy things in such occasions.

"The daughter is not only beautiful, but also has an excellent temperament. Mr. Li is really lucky." Others also praised.

Qiao Shinian said hurriedly, "I'm not Mr. Li's daughter. I just happened to meet Mr. Li outside, so we came in together."

"She is Qiao Shinian. Yiming Investment Bank, the most popular investment bank in Haicheng recently, is her company. She is also an outstanding young female entrepreneur." Li Boting directly introduced Qiao Shinian to everyone.

Several people knew Yiming Investment Bank, and when they saw Qiao Shinian, they couldn't believe that she was so young, and they all praised her.

Hearing the compliments from others, Qiao Shinian did not express his gratitude or deny them in a panic, but thanked everyone generously.

Li Boting was smiling throughout the whole process, with a hint of pride and honor in his eyes, as if he was praising his daughter.

After some greetings, Li Boting took Qiao Shinian to introduce himself to several powerful people present and asked Qiao Shinian to learn and practice more from them.

To put it bluntly, coming to such occasions is to build interpersonal relationships.

Since Qiao Shinian wants to develop, he has to manage his personal connections and interpersonal relationships.

Li Boting had built a bridge for her, so Qiao Shinian naturally had to seize the opportunity. She generously made friends with everyone and chatted and socialized with them freely.

However, Qiao Shinian discovered a strange phenomenon at the cocktail party. There were almost no people of her age at this party, and it was more difficult to get in than she had imagined. After all, most of the people gathered here were people that outsiders were vying to get to know.

Compared to a cocktail party, Qiao Shinian felt that it was more like a gathering of friends among the big guys.

Fortunately, everyone present was very kind to her, and she became familiar to the bigwigs in the industry.

While at a social event, Qiao Shinian's cell phone rang and she received a message.
