Chapter 9 Precious Gifts, Compensation for Her

Huo Shaoting finally had some grace and stretched out his hand to pull up her skirt and button it up for her.

"I'll do it myself." Wen Man's voice trembled.

Her hands grabbed the button the size of a grain of rice, but it was too slippery and could not be buttoned. In the end, it was Huo Shaoting who buttoned it for her.

He apologized again.

In order to compensate her, he personally called lawyer Jiang Ming and explained to him the situation of Wen Man's father.

Jiang Ming admired Huo Shaoting as a junior. He immediately agreed when Huo Shaoting asked and made an appointment to meet Wen Man.

Huo Shaoting said a few more words and hung up the phone.

He sat behind the desk and lit a cigarette. He said to Wen Man, "In addition to litigating for you, you can make any other requests."

Wen Man knew that this should be the last time they met.

In the past, Huo Shaoting might have occasionally cared about her body, but it was different now. He should have made up his mind to draw a clear line with himself.

Wen Man is a sensible person.

She pretended to be relaxed: "It's just love between a man and a woman, I have nothing to lose! I also have to thank Lawyer Huo for his help..."

Wen Man's nose felt a little sore at the end, but she didn't want to cry in front of him. She and Huo Shaoting were not even friends, so there was no point in being pretentious in front of him.

She said goodbye to him and said she would take a taxi back.

Huo Shaoting didn't say anything. He was still sitting there smoking, his eyes dim and unclear.

Wen Man leaves.

She didn't go home immediately because she didn't want to face Aunt Ruan's disappointed eyes so soon.

As night fell, Wen Man walked alone on the street. The Ferris wheel in the city center square lit up with colorful lights. Twinkling, there were young lovers hugging and kissing under the Ferris wheel.

Wen Man stopped.

She watched quietly, the night wind blew, and the corners of her eyes were moist.

A golden Continental drove past Wen Man, and Huo Shaoting saw Wen Man.

She stood under the Ferris wheel and looked up at the stars, with lingering nostalgia in her eyes... Huo Shaoting would not narcissistically think that she was missing him!

He knew exactly who she was thinking about.

Huo Shaoting stepped on the accelerator, and the Bentley Continental sped away.



The next day, Wen Man went to work in the music room. This music room was the most high-end music training in city B. Her colleagues knew that something happened at home, so they couldn't help but offer some words of comfort.

Wen Man didn't want to affect others, so she smiled and said it was fine.

At ten o'clock, something was delivered by express delivery across the city, saying it was from a lawyer Huo.

Wen Man opened the outer packaging.

Inside the exquisite velvet box lies a diamond necklace.

Dazzling and very precious.

A colleague quietly told Wen Man: "The carats of this brand of necklace should be no less than one million."

Wen Man doesn't want it.

But there was no contact information for Huo Shaoting on the courier, and she understood that he didn't want to see her again.

After get off work, Wen Man went to Yingjie Firm. She placed the velvet box at the front desk and asked her to hand it over to Lawyer Huo.

Although the lady at the front desk was confused, she agreed.

Just when Wen Man was about to leave, Huo Shaoting walked out side by side with a young girl whom Wen Man had seen in a magazine.

Huo Mingzhu, the darling of the Huo family, is also Huo Shaoting's only biological sister.

Huo Mingzhu returned from studying abroad half a year ago and fell in love with Gu Changqing immediately.

At this time, Huo Mingzhu held her brother's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother, I have asked you several times, why don't you meet Gu Changqing!"

Huo Shaoting dismissed his sister nonchalantly.

Huo Mingzhu pretended to be angry and quarreled with him, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that their brother and sister had a good relationship.

Wen Man watched quietly.

She doesn't hate Huo Mingzhu, she just laughs at herself——

With such a deep love between brother and sister, why did she think that Huo Shaoting could litigate for her?

Wen Man left quietly.

Huo Shaoting saw her. He dismissed Huo Mingzhu with a few words and walked to the front desk.

The lady at the front desk immediately handed him the jewelry box: "Lawyer Huo, it was left by the lady just now."

Huo Shaoting took it and nodded respectfully.

When he returned to the office, he threw the box into the drawer. For a long time, he almost forgot about Wen Man. Only when his body needed relief, he thought of such a person indifferently.

The waist is very thin, the legs are straight and long...
