To My Dear Mr. Huo

Shi Mengwan didn't notice Zhan Haoze's gaze, and her thoughts were a little wandering at this time. For so many years, she kept searching and searching. From being full of hope at the beginning, I felt more and more hopeless later on.

She didn't forget her elder brother, but she kept him deep in her heart. Don't recall it easily, otherwise she will feel very uncomfortable.

But since meeting Zhan Haoze, she has spent more and more time recalling the past.

She didn't really like that. The more she recalled, the more she was reminded that she and her eldest brother might not really be destined for each other.

Just like today, she already regarded Zhan Haoze and her eldest brother as two people, but she was allowed to see this side of Zhan Haoze.

She was in a trance for a moment, as if she had returned to more than ten years ago. He is the same, always arguing with others and always fighting with others.

She couldn't help but think of the two as the same person. so similar. Not only looks, but also——

An enlarged face suddenly appeared in front of him. The same sinister eyes as in his memory were staring at her like this.

Shi Mengwan was startled and stepped back unexpectedly. Behind her was a sofa, and her back touched the back of the sofa.

Zhan Haoze's body moved closer, and Shi Mengwan swallowed.

"Mr. Zhan, the wound has been bandaged. You can go."

Zhan Haoze pursed his lips slightly and looked at the nervousness on Shi Mengwan's face. He stretched his hands forward and placed them directly on both sides of her body.

"Where to go?"

Shi Mengwan blinked, where to go? Of course get out of here.

"Mr. Zhan, this is my home."

"I know this is your home. When you brought a strange man home, didn't you think about the consequences?"

Seeing Zhan Haoze's face getting closer and closer, Shi Mengwan pressed hard against his chest.

"Mr. Zhan. I'm sorry for causing you misunderstanding. I just-"

She couldn't say the next words. She just regarded him as her big brother. She just replaced the past memories in front of her again.

But the man in front of her didn't recognize her and didn't recognize him as her eldest brother.

"Anyway, this is all a misunderstanding. It's getting late and I have to rest, so please do as you please."

Zhan Haoze's body blocked her way, but Shi Mengwan did not move or escape. She didn't want what happened in the elevator to happen again.

"Mr. Zhan, can you give me a moment?"

Zhan Haoze stared at Shi Mengwan's face for a long time, and finally stood up very slowly.

Shi Mengwan did not relax because he stood up. The other person is too tall. With her height of nearly 1.7 meters, sitting like this can only make the other person look taller.

She didn't know that when her eyes stared at Zhan Haoze's face defensively, there was an infinite charm in her eyebrows.

The ends of her eyes were slightly raised, giving her a charming look. But she is charming without knowing it.

Zhan Haoze stood there and didn't rush to leave or move. Shi Mengwan was a little nervous, and she swallowed. His eyes showed a bit of expectation.

The eager attitude of hoping that he would leave quickly made Zhan Haoze's eyes darken slightly. Not only did he not leave, but he leaned down.

Shi Mengwan felt more and more nervous and fell back. It was almost a silent invitation.

Zhan Haoze looked at her half-open lips and stopped when he was less than one centimeter away from her lips.

Breathing hotly, Shi Mengwan stared at the enlarged face in front of her, feeling thirsty for no reason.

She pursed her lips subconsciously. Zhan Haoze's face came closer, almost touching.

"Miss Shi." Zhan Haoze's voice sounded a little deep.

"If you don't plan on letting a man do anything to you, don't just take him home, let alone just pose in such a seductive manner."

"..."

After saying this, Zhan Haoze stood up and left.

The sound of the door closing made Shi Mengwan come back to her senses from what the other party had just said. After coming back to his senses, he was filled with anger.

What does this Zhan Haoze mean?

What do you mean she takes people home casually? What's the point of her casually posing seductively?

Shi Mengwan wanted to curse, but the people who could make her scold had already left. She couldn't even scold him if she wanted to.

Gritting her teeth, Shi Mengwan couldn't get rid of her tone. She told herself that if she showed some respect for Haoze next time, she would be a pig.

She was so angry.

…………

When Zhan Haoze entered, he found the lights in the hall shining brightly.

Chen Feifei was sitting on the sofa, her face not particularly good-looking. She kept a straight face until Zhan Haoze walked in, and Chen Feifei's face finally looked better.

She stood up quickly and rushed in front of Zhan Haoze.

"Brother Hao, you're back." Chen Feifei's eyes were a little red, and by the time she walked up to Zhan Haoze, the expression on her face had cleared up.

When he came in, he put on his suit jacket and covered up the injury on his hand. Chen Feifei didn't notice that the pounce just now touched his wound.

Zhan Haoze's eyebrows twisted almost imperceptibly. She resisted and didn't pull Chen Feifei's hand away.

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

"You still know it's so late?" Chen Feifei pouted: "If you don't come back so late, don't you know I will be worried?"

"go to sleep."

Zhan Haoze's voice was gentle, but he didn't coax her like before, and Chen Feifei was a little unhappy.

"Brother Hao, where have you been?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I just worked overtime at the company."

"I must tell dad not to give you so much work. Look at you, you don't even have time to spend with me."

"Don't be ridiculous." Zhan Haoze's voice was rare and serious: "Work is work, not play."

"If you don't say it, don't say it." Chen Feifei became more and more unhappy: "But you are always busy. You were still willing to accompany me. Recently, you spend less and less time with me."

Her tone was full of complaints. Zhan Haoze looked at her and his expression softened a bit: "I will stay with you after I finish this period of work."

"You said it." Chen Feifei hooked his arm: "Don't lie to me. If you let me go, I will tell my father."

"What are you telling me?"

The sudden sound made the two of them look towards the stairs. Chen Yongchang came down at some point and looked at the hands held by the two people.

"Dad." When Chen Feifei saw her father, she quickly let go of her hand and ran towards Chen Yongchang: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"My precious daughter won't sleep, how can I sleep?"

Chen Yongchang patted Chen Feifei's hand: "What's wrong? You haven't said anything to me yet."

"I'm telling you, I want you to give Brother Hao less work. You see, he is too busy to spend time with me."

"Really?" Chen Yongchang glanced at Zhan Haoze, then looked at Chen Feifei: "You are not young anymore. Don't be too willful. Haoze is a person who wants to do big things, how can he accompany you every day?"

"I don't care, I want Brother Hao to accompany me."

Chen Feifei's rare willfulness, her tone was full of coquettishness. Chen Yongchang has nothing to do with his daughter.

"Okay, okay. But it's getting late now, so go to bed quickly."

"Then -" Chen Feifei looked at Zhan Haoze, wanting him to send her back to her room.

"You go to bed first. I have something to do with Haoze."

"I know." Chen Feifei pouted, with a face full of displeasure: "Dad hates it the most. It's not enough to ask Brother Hao to help you during the day, and he has to steal people from me at night."

"Feifei." Chen Yongchang called her name. Chen Feifei was unhappy, stomped her feet angrily, and then went upstairs.

"It's true that women are not allowed to stay in college."

Chen Yongchang looked at his daughter, glanced at Zhan Haoze, and walked towards the study. Zhan Haoze followed him silently.

The study is on the first floor. Chen Yongchang entered the door and motioned for Zhan Haoze to sit down. He did not sit down, but stood opposite the desk.

"After all these years, you are still so polite."

Chen Yongchang seemed to be sighing, Zhan Haoze didn't respond, and he didn't need his response.

"There haven't been many things going on in the company recently. Is there something wrong when you come back so late today?" Chen Yongchang's eyes revealed a trace of inquiry.

"It's no big deal." Zhan Haoze's voice was very calm: "This little matter has been taken care of."

"I believe you have sense."

Chen Yongchang did not continue this topic, but changed the subject.

"That year Feifei rescued you and brought you back. It's been more than ten years now. You also know Feifei's thoughts about you. This child has been obsessed with you since he was a child. She recognized you, and I, as a father, also There's no way. You're not young anymore. It's time to think about starting a family. You think so?"

Zhan Haoze was silent and did not respond.

"Last time Feifei was hospitalized, you promised me that you would marry her. Although she is in good health now, she still needs to be raised carefully. To be honest, I don't feel comfortable handing her over to others. Over the years, your I also see your character, Haoze, I should be able to trust you, right?"

Zhan Haoze pursed his lips slightly, and finally nodded gently.

"I promised you that I would take care of her."

"Okay. It's getting late. You go to rest first. You don't have to go to work tomorrow. Just stay with Feifei."

Zhan Haoze did not refute, nodded slightly, turned and left.

After returning to the room, Zhan Haoze took off his suit jacket. The shirt underneath was still stained with blood, so he took it off and threw it in the trash.

His eyes looked gloomy at the bandaged wound. Thinking about what Chen Yongchang said just now, he took out his mobile phone.

He pressed a set of numbers from memory, and after the call was connected, he only said one sentence: "I agree to what you said last time."

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Haoze deleted the call history.

He made two more calls, saying only a few words each time and then deleting the call record.

Putting down his phone, he laid his body down on the bed. His tightly closed eyes hid all his emotions.

………………

Shi Mengwan hung up the phone, unable to conceal her inner shock.

Su Qingsang is the illegitimate daughter of the Su family, she has known it for a long time. But she didn't expect that Su Qingsang's mother would come to her door one day.

This is really amazing. Su Qingsang called her today to ask her to go to dinner and meet Su Qingsang's mother.

Shi Mengwan later met Xiang Caiping, an aunt who seemed quite kind and lovely.

Shi Mengwan liked her very much. When I see her, I think of my mother. Thinking of her mother, Shi Mengwan remembered that she was busy drawing pictures during the Mid-Autumn Festival and only stayed home for two days before returning to Lin City.

Later, my mother called, her words filled with disappointment. Perhaps, she should choose a day to go back.

Winter is approaching in Lin City, and the weather is slowly getting colder. Today is designer Tong Yan’s birthday.

After Xunge Studio got off the ground in the second year, Shi Mengwan became overwhelmed by her work.

She hired two designers, one was Zhou Xinglei and the other was Tong Yan. The two designers, a man and a woman, are not very experienced people, but the design concept is very compatible with hers.

Tong Yan is one year younger than her, and today is her birthday. She doesn't have a boyfriend yet. In the past few years, she has invited everyone to dinner to celebrate her birthdays.

At first, it was because Tong Yan didn't have a boyfriend, so Shi Mengwan, as the boss, invited her to dinner to celebrate her birthday.

Later, we simply turned the birthdays of everyone in the studio into a dinner party.

When it was time to get off work, Shi Mengwan took her assistant Xiao Ji, secretary Xiao Qiu, and design assistant Shang Zhi into her car.

Another design assistant, Cheng Jiang, followed Tong Yan into Zhou Xinglei's car. A group of seven people went to Chaowenyuan together.

Shi Mengwan had never been so generous before, but since Su Qingsang got married, Huo Jinyao often gave her various consumer cards. In the past, Su Qingsang foolishly thought that their company had good benefits.

Now I know where the benefits are. Basically, President Huo Da uses various excuses to please his wife.

Especially since Huo Jinyao's identity became known in Lin City, not too many people came to Huo Jinyao's door to please him.

Many of the membership cards she has now were given by Su Qingsang. I have to say that the name Mrs. Huo is still very useful.

Shi Mengwan took six of his employees into the Chaowen Academy. The chefs here can cook specialties from all over the country.

Although Shi Mengwan is from the south, her taste is strong and she likes spicy food.

She ordered two spicy dishes and left the rest to Tong Yan, the birthday girl today.

Halfway through the meal, Shi Mengwan received a call. She asked Xiao Qiu Xing to greet them while she went outside to get the cake.

kindness. As a good boss, ordering cakes for employees is also one of the thoughtful gestures.

The cake ordered by Shi Mengwan was delivered to the lobby of Chaowenyuan. She took the cake and was about to go to the box when she saw Zhan Haoze's figure out of the corner of her eye.

She couldn't help but pause in her steps. It has been almost a month since I last saw Zhan Haoze.

During this month, she tried her best not to think about Zhan Haoze or that man.

She kept hypnotizing herself and telling herself that that man is no longer your big brother. He's a gangster, a bastard.

He likes to ridicule her and look down on her at every turn.

But she didn't expect that when she was almost successful, she would see Zhan Haoze again.

He was standing in the corridor, and there was a woman standing beside him. That woman is not Chen Feifei, but another one.

When Shi Mengwan was about to enter the box, she saw the woman falling into Zhan Haoze's arms, and Zhan Haoze's hands were around her waist.

That scene made Shi Mengwan frown, and she couldn't tell what emotion she was feeling.

The eldest brother may really only become a shadow in her memory. Turning around, she entered her box without looking back.

What she didn't see was that Zhan Haoze's hand had already left that woman's hand after she left.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhan." Ling Xue stood firm and slowly took her hand away from Zhan Haoze's.

"The heels were too high and I couldn't stand firmly. I almost hit Mr. Zhan."

"It doesn't matter." Zhan Haoze said expressionlessly: "Your father still wants to wait for us in the box. Miss Ling invites you."

"Mr. Zhan actually doesn't have to be so polite." Ling Xue nodded towards Zhan Haoze: "Speaking of it, I'm almost the same as Mr. Zhan. It's too polite for you to come to Miss Ling like Miss Ling. Why don't you just call me My name is Lingxue."

Ling Xue is good-looking, and she is very confident in her family background and appearance.

At this time, the look she looked at Zhan Haoze was naked and unabashedly direct.

She just didn't say it openly, I am interested in you as a man.

Zhan Haoze's expression did not change. He took two steps ahead and opened the door of the box: "Miss Ling, please."

Ling Xue took a deep look at Zhan Haoze and walked through the door.

Ling Xue's father is the chairman of a company that cooperates with the Chen family. Recently, the two companies are discussing a cooperation project.

Chen Yongchang was not in good health these days, so he left this matter to Zhan Haoze. Today is the day agreed to sign the contract.

Originally, once the contract was signed, it was over. But the other party is a partner after all. Chen Yongchang asked Zhan Haoze to show his cooperation and treat the other party to dinner.

The place was set at Chaowenyuan, and Zhan Haoze brought his secretary Le Xin over. And Ling Dong brought his daughter Ling Xue.

Drinking is inevitable at the dinner table, and Zhan Haoze has a good drinking capacity. This is why Chen Yongchang felt free to let him come out to socialize.

Le Xin also tried to block it, but Zhan Haoze still wanted to drink Ling Dongjing's wine.

After three rounds of drinking, Ling Dong's face became drunk: "Brother Zhan. I really admire you. You are young and capable. Brother Yongchang is really lucky to have a talent like you."

"Dr. Ling, you're welcome." Zhan Haoze didn't take such a compliment seriously. There was not much pride on his face.

Director Ling has also been in the shopping mall for many years. He really appreciates Zhan Haoze who is indifferent to emotions and anger and strives to be perfect in everything he does.

I was envious of Chen Yongchang's good luck, and couldn't help but glance at Ling Xue again: "Come on, Axue. Let's have another drink, brother Zhan."

Ling Xue picked up the wine glass politely and saluted Zhan Haoze: "Mr. Zhan. I'd like to toast you."

Zhan Haoze didn't refuse, picked it up and drank it.

Ling Xue smiled and glanced at Ling Dong: "Dad, I've already paid respects, now it's your turn."

"Okay, okay." Director Ling picked up the wine glass: "Brother Zhan, I toast you this glass and wish us a happy cooperation."

“A pleasure to work with.”

Zhan Haoze drank it all in one gulp again. Le Xin was on the side and wanted to stop him, but he couldn't intervene.

Zhan Haoze drank a lot. When he was finally about to leave, Director Ling stood up.

"Brother Zhan. I drank a little too much today. Do you mind if you, your secretary, take me home?"

"I don't mind." Le Xin didn't drink much today. Zhan Haoze asked him to come so that he could send Ling and Dong's father and daughter home after he was drunk.

Watching Director Ling leave with Le Xin. Zhan Haoze stood up and planned to leave too.

But he didn't expect that the door of the box was opened again, and this time, Ling Xue came in.

"Why don't you leave, Mr. Zhan?"

"Miss Ling?"

"I dropped something, come up and look for it."

When Ling Xue spoke, she found her seat where she originally sat.

Zhan Haoze was polite and did not leave in a hurry: "What are you looking for, Miss Ling?"

"Necklace." Ling Xue pointed to her neck: "I was wearing it just now, but now I don't know why it disappeared."

Zhan Haoze frowned slightly. He was about to say goodbye when Ling Xue raised her head and looked at him. "Mr. Zhan, do you mind helping me look for it?"

"do not mind."

At this time, Zhan Haoze could not refuse. He is still working in Chen Yongchang's company, and the people in front of him are still his collaborators.

Bending down, he helped Ling Xue find her necklace.

The table in the private room was very large, and Ling Xue was right next to Zhan Haoze. The clothes she wore today had a big V-neck. When she bent down, Zhan Haoze could see her lowered head.

He turned his face away without any fluctuation, but Ling Xue said something at this moment.

"it's here."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand in his direction. Since both of them were squatting, Zhan Haoze was accidentally hit by Ling Xue's suddenly approaching body and sat on the ground.

Ling Xue's hand reached behind Zhan Haoze, so that she was almost pressed against Zhan Haoze's body.

"Sorry, Mr. Zhan."

Ling Xue picked up the necklace, Zhan Haoze said nothing, waiting for her to leave his arms. At this moment, Ling Xue pressed on him and put her hands on his chest.

"Mr. Zhan. You helped me find the necklace. How should I thank you?"

"You're welcome, Miss Ling, can you get up first?"

Ling Xue said nothing. She lowered her head and was about to kiss Zhan Haoze's lips.

Zhan Haoze avoided it, and Ling Xue's kiss fell on Zhan Haoze's face. Zhan Haoze's eyebrows knitted together. Just when he was about to push Ling Xue away, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with his body.

hot. He felt the heat coming from Xiao Yuefu, and the heat surged downwards.

He suddenly looked at Ling Xue, his eyes sharp and as cold as a knife.

"Mr. Zhan, you are so handsome."

She has seen many handsome guys, but she likes people like Zhan Haoze. Ascetic, cold, and seemingly repellent.

She just likes this kind of man and this kind of tone.

She couldn't help but want to have a closer relationship with Zhan Haoze. Even if she can't marry him or be with him, it doesn't matter.

All she needs is a casual marriage. Having such a top-notch man is a profit for her.

But it's a pity that Zhan Haoze didn't seem to understand regardless of her explicit hints when discussing cooperation.

In desperation, she could only think of another way.

Today was the day when the two families signed a contract. When she knew that Zhan Haoze had arranged a dinner, she made an appointment with him at the Chaowen Academy.

She just tested Zhan Haoze again and found that he still wasn't fooled by her, which made her want Zhan Haoze even more.

One update, six thousand words. Do you think the eldest brother will get wet? Will it? Continue tomorrow. Remember to send love to your mother-in-law. Love you guys!
