She divorced with her property, and her ex-husband chased her around the world

Now that Brian is back, this matter cannot be kept secret.

However, Xu Xiangnuan has been gone for more than two months, and she should have found a good place to settle down. The world is so big that no matter how powerful Brian is, he is still out of reach.

Shang Manyue pulled Brian to sit on the sofa in the living room, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Seeing this, Brian probably guessed something, and his eyes darkened.

He glared at the cup of tea but refused to take it. "Don't tell me that you let Xu Xiangnuan go and you plan to use this cup of tea to apologize and ask me to forgive you."

Shang Manyue was helpless.

In fact, she hesitated for a moment just now.

Should I lie to Brian or confess and get leniency?

In the end she chose the latter.

With Brian's intelligence, this lie is not enough to fool him. It is better to be honest and convince him with reason.

Shang Manyue put down the teacup, cleared his throat, and spoke slowly, "Uncle, a lot of things happened in the past six months. My life was thrown into chaos by the brother and sister Jiang Qi and Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan tried to tempt Xu Xiangnuan to betray me with money and benefits, but she didn't do it."

"She said she was grateful for my taking her in and helping her, but I could tell she was doing it because of you."

"Even if the end result is that you will separate, she doesn't want to hurt the family you care about."

"Bryan, let's put an end to the grudges of the previous generation, right? Xu Xiangnuan will never appear in front of you again, so just let her go. You should also live your future life well."

Brian clenched his fists tightly, "Where's the child?"

Shang Manyue was silent for a few seconds, and finally told a white lie, "The child is not yours, so Xu Xiangnuan has no face to face you."

This was also what Xu Xiangnuan had discussed with her before, in order to make Brian let it go completely.

Although this is a bit cruel to Brian, it is better than... He has been immersed in hatred, hurting others and himself, and wasting his time.

Even though Brian didn't think the child was his, the moment he actually heard it, his whole body was shocked and the veins on his forehead emerged one by one.

Shang Manyue's heart beat faster when she saw this, and she didn't dare to say anything to provoke him anymore.

After a long while, his hoarse voice finally came out from between his teeth, word by word.

"Does she... have anything else to say to me?"

Shang Manyue replied softly: "She hopes that we will never see each other again in this life or death."

Brian closed his eyes tightly.

He seemed angry and self-deprecating. "She'd better keep her word and not show up again. I will treat her as dead. Otherwise..."

The rest of the words were not finished, but Shang Manyue knew it.

If we meet again, it will probably be the beginning of a disaster...

At night, Shang Manyue lay on the bed holding little Yunshi, and she read a storybook to coax her daughter to sleep.

Xiao Yunshi was absent-minded, looking at her mother with big eyes, "Uncle-in-law doesn't even smile, is he unhappy?"

Although Xiao Yunshi didn't see Brian very often, Brian loved her so much that he often played with her. In addition, Brian was handsome, so Xiao Yunshi still liked her uncle very much.

Shang Manyue touched her little daughter's head, thought for a moment, and could only sigh, "What is love in this world? It makes one's heart break."

Xiao Yunshi didn't understand and tilted her head to think.

Shang Manyue looked at her daughter's pretty chubby face and couldn't help but think of her bastard father again.

During dinner, Secretary He called her and said that Huo Jingbo wanted her to go to the Huo Group in person to sign the contract tomorrow, otherwise he would not approve of this cooperation.

In other words, even if he didn't want her, he would keep her by his side in various ways.

It's just really infuriating.

but……

Don’t ever think of trapping her in this way again, you bastard!

Shang Manyue picked up her phone, edited a text message and sent it to Secretary He.

……

The next day.

Huo Group, President's Office.

Huo Jingbo was sitting behind his large desk, looking through documents. There was a knock on the door, and then Secretary Song pushed the door open and walked in.

Secretary Song: "Mr. Huo, someone is coming from the Shang Group."

Upon hearing this, Huo Jingbo put down the documents and leaned lazily back in his chair.

The corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly, "Shang Manyue is so obedient this time?"

She was so angry yesterday, I thought she was going to cause trouble again.

Secretary Song's expression suddenly became a little speechless. She opened her mouth but stopped herself from speaking.

However, Huo Jingbo did not pay attention. He closed the document, stood up, and walked out with his long legs.

Secretary Song looked at his excited back and could only say to himself: Amitabha, may the Lord bless me.

Huo Jingbo came to the door of the conference room, stood still, straightened his clothes slightly, and only pushed open the door after making sure he was perfect.

In the conference room, Brian was sitting on a swivel chair. He heard footsteps, turned around, and looked up at Huo Jingbo.

Brian stood up and said in a lukewarm tone, "Mr. Huo, long time no see."

Huo Jingbo's dark eyes fell on Brian's face, and the curve of his lips froze, "Why is it you?"

Brian smiled: "Man Yue is on a business trip. I will be fully responsible for the cooperation with the Huo Group in the future."

Huo Jingbo: "So sudden?"

Brian said calmly: "Boss Huo, this is an internal matter of our Shang Group. We are just partners. I don't need to explain it to you, right?"

Aunt Chen whispered in his ear yesterday about what happened between Shang Manyue and Huo Jingbo, and told him everything in detail.

Brian is naturally happy to see lovers get married, but Huo Jingbo is such a bastard, so as his uncle, he naturally has to support his niece.

Huo Jingbo's face completely darkened.

Brian stood up and walked to Huo Jingbo. "Mr. Huo, I will be stationed in Hong Kong from now on, and I will take over the Shang Group again. As for Man Yue, she has worked so hard for so long, and I fully respect her choice. If she wants to work, she can continue to work. If she doesn't want to work, she can just stay at home every day or fly around and play. It doesn't matter."

"Even if she doesn't marry again, I can support her for the rest of her life. If she chooses to remarry, I will prepare a generous dowry for her, and you, her ex-husband... don't need to worry about her affairs."

Although each word and sentence contained no dirty words, they were like needles piercing Huo Jingbo's heart viciously.

But this person is Shang Manyue's relative, and he can't really do anything to him.

After signing the contract, Brian left in style. Huo Jingbo returned to the office and threw the contract down with force.

Secretary Song was watching from behind, trembling with fear.

She reminded the big boss yesterday not to commit suicide, but he didn't listen to her. Now he's getting his comeuppance, right?

My wife ran away again...

Huo Jingbo took several deep breaths before suppressing his anger. "Where do you think Shang Manyue will go?"

Secretary Song replied without thinking: "How should I know?"

"Yeah, how did you know that?"

Huo Jingbo turned his head to look at her, and laughed in anger, "Since you don't know, why don't you go check it out? What? Are you standing here waiting for a pie to fall from the sky? Don't you want your year-end bonus?"

Secretary Song shuddered all over. He actually threatened the year-end bonus. That was too much!

"I, I'll go right away, right now!"

……

North City.

Shang Manyue was indeed on a business trip, and the branch in North City needed to be inspected. Brian originally wanted to come by himself, but she thought that she had not been back for a long time, and she didn't want to be entangled with a bastard, so she volunteered.

Xiao Yunshi hadn't been back for a long time, so she brought her child back with her.

In addition to work, I also live here for a while.

Thinking that since Huo Jingbo was on a blind date, he should always get along well with the other person and develop a good relationship with her. Once he made some progress with that very elegant and beautiful lady, he would naturally stop being obsessed with her.

As soon as she returned to the merchant’s old house, little Yunshi was very happy. After all, she had been born and raised here. She ran and jumped everywhere with her short legs.

The next day, Shang Manyue took Secretary He to inspect the branch.

She was looking at various documents in the office when suddenly her cell phone rang. She glanced at it and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

The caller ID is: Yang Ziyan.

She and Yang Ziyan hadn't been in touch for a long time, and with so many things happening during this period, she almost forgot about this person.

Shang Manyue picked up the phone and answered it.

Yang Ziyan's voice was as enthusiastic as ever, "Man Yue, I heard that you returned to North City?"

Shang Manyue chuckled, "Yeah, you...are so well-informed?"

She just got back yesterday afternoon.

Yang Ziyan didn't hide it and said directly: "Brian told me."

I see……

Brian has always liked Yang Ziyan. When he saw that there was no hope for her and Huo Jingbo, he actively tried to bring her and Yang Ziyan together.

Shang Manyue actually didn't have any thoughts about it, but then she thought, this bastard Huo Jingbo has one romantic partner after another, but he doesn't allow her to have a new partner. Why?

If she really had someone new, would Huo Jingbo be able to face reality?

Over there, Yang Ziyan continued: "Are you free tonight? It's rare for you to come back, I'll treat you to dinner."

Shang Manyue only thought for a few seconds before agreeing.

Yang Ziyan was very happy: "See you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Secretary He couldn't help but interrupt, "Miss, are you... ready to start a new relationship?"

Shang Manyue sighed softly, "I have to stay here for a while anyway, so let's try to get in touch. If we really have a good impression of each other, that would be great."

She had been persuading Brian to let go of the past and move forward. She couldn't just advise others while standing still herself, right?

Maybe it's time to move on.

Secretary He: "What about Mr. Huo..."

"He is in Hong Kong, accompanying his new blind date. You saw her the other day. What a charming lady she is."

Shang Manyue ignored the sourness in her heart and said, "I think she is much better than the ones he dated before. She must be his type."

When other women saw her, they couldn't help but come up to provoke her. But that woman that night stood aside calmly and generously, without jealousy or envy. To be fair, she was a good woman.

She is also the ideal wife that Huo Jingbo has always wanted.

In the evening, Shang Manyue dressed up and came to the agreed restaurant.

When Yang Ziyan saw her, he immediately stood up, his eyes showing no sign of concealing his amazement, and he was not stingy with his praise, "Man Yue, you are so beautiful today."

Shang Manyue smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Yang Ziyan pulled out a chair for her like a gentleman. Shang Manyue sat down and Yang Ziyan returned to his seat.

Looking at the beauty in the halo in the dim candlelight, his Adam's apple couldn't stop rolling up and down.

He thought he had no chance, but unexpectedly... God still favored him.

This time, he will seize the opportunity.

Yang Ziyan looked at Shang Manyue with his dark eyes, and suddenly took out a bunch of roses from his hiding place and said seriously, "Manyue, although it may be a little abrupt, I don't want to wait any longer. I have always liked you, and I want you to be my girlfriend. Can you give me a chance?"

As soon as the words fell, a deep male voice suddenly interrupted.

"Do you mind sharing a table?"

Yang Ziyan and Shang Manyue were both startled and subconsciously looked up.

Huo Jingbo stood beside the dining table without knowing when. He stared coldly at Shang Manyue with a pair of gloomy eyes, and the light in his eyes was surging.
