After a while, Huo Jingbo finally spoke.

His tone was disapproving, even a little cold, "Shang Manyue, your words are too harsh."

Shang Manyue was speechless.

Is she speaking harshly?

Yes, Huo Jingbo has no feelings for her now, so how could he favor her? In terms of relationship, Jiang Yuan grew up with him as a childhood sweetheart, is his godsister, and is now about to be engaged, so naturally he will not favor her.

"So, Huo Jingbo, are you heartbroken?"

If possible, no woman would like to be as hysterical as a mad woman. She also wants to be noble and elegant forever, but he always forces her to lose control again and again and become unlike herself.

"Shang Manyue, don't argue with me. I'm trying to reason with you."

Huo Jingbo said in a calm voice, "You said that You Jing's case was related to Jiang Yuan. Where is the evidence? You can't be convicted just by your words. Besides, I haven't agreed to the engagement yet. Since you have an appointment with me for a week, you should have some sense of contract."

"Aren't you just taking advantage of my interest in you to force me to choose you?"

"Shang Manyue, you should know that this will only have the opposite effect!"

The man's words, word by word, slowly entered Shang Manyue's ears, severely stimulating her nerves.

Yes, she used some tricks to win him back.

Because she wanted to live up to the relationship between them and not let him down for risking his life to save her.

As a result, in his eyes, she was using all means necessary to force him to make a choice, and was even maliciously hostile to Jiang Yuan.

Shang Manyue wanted to laugh, but she couldn't move the corners of her lips.

She stroked her forehead with her hand and took a few deep breaths to suppress the chaotic emotions in her heart.

"You didn't agree, but you didn't refuse either. Huo Jingbo, you still have your memory, so you don't need me to tell you that every time you weighed the interests, the result was that I was wronged!"

"You couldn't even do both when we had a little affection before, how can I expect you to do both now?"

"I was wrong. I thought we could start over."

Her voice was filled with endless sarcasm and indifference.

Huo Jingbo felt nervous and annoyed when he heard this.

He has always disliked anything that is uncontrollable. From the time he came back until now, Shang Manyue has been the only uncontrollable factor.

He had been influenced too much by her and repeatedly overturned decisions that he thought were correct.

If it weren't for her, he would not have hesitated about this marriage that was obviously beneficial to him and the Huo family.

When it comes to family marriage, there is no need to consider feelings, only interests. As long as the interests are aligned, it will be successful.

This is the perception that all children of wealthy families have been instilled with since childhood.

To enjoy heights and wealth that ordinary people cannot reach, one naturally has to sacrifice some things, such as marriage.

Women like Shang Manyue, who always talk about feelings and love, are something he cannot understand.

At this moment, Huo Jingbo's enthusiasm for Shang Manyue had become somewhat dull.

He took a sip of black coffee and asked coldly, "Shang Manyue, you mean you want to break up with me, right?"

Shang Manyue answered without hesitation, "Yes."

The nameless anger suddenly rose up again. Huo Jingbo couldn't figure out what emotion it was, but he didn't want to indulge her anymore.

He likes women who are gentle and obedient, not sharp and prickly.

"Okay, this is your choice, don't regret it!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Shang Manyue put down her phone, raised her hand, and slowly wiped away the tears that were falling from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.

Aunt Chen came over and said softly, "Madam, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

As she spoke, she couldn't hold back her tears, but she said very softly, "It's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. It will be fine after it heals."

Aunt Chen didn't know how to comfort her. Words seemed so pale in the face of pain. She gently hugged Shang Manyue, allowing her to lean on her arms and vent her feelings.

……

In the afternoon, Brian woke up.

Shang Manyue took little Yunchen to visit him.

Xiao Yunchen was holding the bed, looking at Brian's weak appearance. He felt a little sad and asked carefully, "Uncle, are you in pain?"

He had accidentally scratched his skin a little bit before and cried out in pain. Grandma Chen said that my uncle was hit by a bullet and it must be very painful.

Brian was naturally in pain, but he still had to save face in front of his juniors.

His lips trembled, "Man, it doesn't hurt at all."

Unexpectedly, little Yunchen was an honest child, and he directly exposed his hypocrisy, "Uncle, Grandma Chen said that you would definitely say it doesn't hurt, and it turned out to be true. If it hurts, just tell me directly, I won't laugh at you, and I will even blow on you~"

Brian: “…………”

He raised his eyes to look at Shang Manyue, "I'm serious, can you fire Aunt Chen from your family?"

Shang Manyue pulled over a chair and sat down, then rolled her eyes at him.

"Even if I kick you out of the business, I can't kick Aunt Chen out."

Brian said he was hurt.

"You can still joke, you almost lost your life."

Shang Manyue was scared and angry at the same time.

Brian smiled: "It's all right now, don't worry, I'm very strong and even the King of Hell won't dare to take me away easily."

"Yes, the scourge has lasted for thousands of years."

Shang Manyue talked a lot, expressed his concern, then picked an apple and slowly peeled it.

Then he pretended to be casual, "Xu Xiangnuan, how are you going to deal with this?"

This incident happened in the villa and did not alarm outsiders, so how to deal with it was just a matter of Brian's word.

She intended to plead for Xu Xiangnuan.

Although it was only a brief contact, she still felt that there might be something behind the betrayal, and... She looked at Xu Xiangnuan and seemed to see her former self.

She was moved with compassion.

Of course, she also hopes that Brian will not live in hatred forever and can return to normal life.

When Xu Xiangnuan was mentioned, Brian's smile faded and his handsome face darkened.

He didn't respond at all and instead started to play with little Yunchen.

Shang Manyue did not give up and continued, "Brian, let her go. Forcing a woman who doesn't want to be with you to stay with you will make her suffer and you suffer too. You torture each other like this and no one can be relieved!"

"Do you want to live in hatred all your life?"

Brian raised his eyes lazily, with endless coldness emerging in his eyes.

"Xu Xiangnuan instigated you to help her?"

Shang Manyue: "No, she didn't say anything. I just wanted to do it myself."

"Man Yue, who are your relatives? Why are you so mean? Don't you forget that it was the Xu family that ruined our business? That's why you and I lost our relatives and became homeless. Are you going to erase all of that with just a few casual words?"

Shang Manyue took a deep breath.

"Brian, you have already taken revenge. The Xu family has been uprooted by you. Isn't that enough?"

After a pause, she looked deeply at Brian and spoke word by word, "Unless you still have feelings for Xu Xiangnuan, so you don't want to divorce her!"
