"darling, mommy sends you a message that you're going to follow it to the end, that you're not going to talk about work during your rest time. it is the act of the capitalist, the abominable capitalist, to like to squash the private time of others for work. " as she meixin spoke, she looked at huo jianji as if she was hinting at something.

huojiao knew that she was hinting at what had happened last night.

"mommy, i may be a capitalist in the future as well, so it's better not to think too badly of capitalists. well, to be exact, we are all capitalists now. " she yimeng corrected as she ate her child's steak.

huo xiwen had completely abandoned the huo group and followed fu muyun to live out her life abroad as a deity. if nothing went wrong in the future, she yimeng would most likely take over the company from huo jiu and become the new ceo of the huo family.

closing her mouth, she started to deal with the food in front of her.

of course, because she was a mature woman, her speech was rather reserved. thus, she put down the knife and fork in her hand and politely said to he meiming, "please excuse me for a moment."

he jumped off the chair and ran towards the toilet.

for a moment, only he meixin and huo jiabao were left at the table.

"can't we leave the green light corporation's case to someone else to handle?" she asked as she expressionlessly cut the steak.

"sure." he nodded and replied.

"then leave it to someone else." she could no longer see wu wei. she could not do it as if nothing had happened between them.

if she couldn't be his cinderella, she would rather never be in his life again.

"but what should we do? i want you to do it. " he raised his eyebrows and looked at the depressed he meixin.

"you did that on purpose?" when she meixin said this, she was gritting her teeth in anger. she tried her best to suppress her emotions, but huo jiabao clearly didn't know how much she owed her for this.

"will you be sad for him? but do you think he's like you? " he did not deny his intentions. a smile that made he mei want to rush up and tear him apart hung on his face. however, his gaze landed on her back.

"brother wei, are you sure this dress i chose is more beautiful? but i really like the other one. "

"is that so? "then i'll get someone to buy that for you."

"yes, brother wei, you're so nice to me."

"you must be hungry. when you were shopping just now, you shouted that the steak is delicious. hurry up and cook."

"good …" we... this is it, a couple set meal, how about it? "

"as long as you like it."

these words came from behind she meixin. she knew that he was sitting right behind her, less than 50 centimeters away from her. she could clearly hear their conversation, but she did not have the courage to look back.

although she was mentally prepared for him to be together with ye rong, she did not have the courage to look at their sweetness.

once, the person sitting beside him was her!

wu wei, did you really let her go so quickly?

but, no matter what, shouldn't i still bless him? after all, she had let go of him this time.

her heart was full of bitterness, she didn't even know that her tears had been added to the gla.s.s of white wine in front of her.

huo jiabao looked at her tears that quietly rolled down his cheeks. the corners of his mouth curled up as he revealed a mocking smile.

he picked up the wine cup in front of her and finished it in one gulp before saying, "even if you add tears to your eyes, the wine still won't taste particularly good. don't waste it next time."

"i don't want to stay here anymore." she frowned, thinking that she would be able to face it calmly. but when it really came down to it, she could only be a fleeing soldier without any backbone.

"i'm afraid we won't be able to leave …" he looked behind her and said.

"h.e.l.lo, director huo. what a coincidence, i actually b.u.mped into you here." wu wei didn't know what was going on. he picked up his wine gla.s.s and walked to the front of he meixin and huo jiabao.

"h.e.l.lo, it's indeed a coincidence. we can even meet ceo wu for lunch." huo jiabao smiled and stood up to greet him.

"this person … isn't that miss he meixin from your company? "h.e.l.lo, miss he. we just met this morning. your idea is really good." wu wei's gaze suddenly shifted from huo jiu to he meixin, who was sitting at the side and unable to react in time, catching her off guard.

hearing his unfamiliar greeting, he mei felt her heart ache.

pretend... don't you know her?

decided to forget her, to forget everything that had ever been related to her, so, from now on, was it time to pretend not to know her?

the tear stains on her face had yet to dry. a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. she slowly straightened her body and gave him a slight nod. "thank you for your praise."

finally, one day, they became so distant from each other.

actually, she meixin had lost her composure. not only were her eyes red, there were also clear traces of tears on her face.

and looking at his eyes, which were filled with such obvious yearning and attachment, it caused him to be momentarily absent-minded.

"does wu always accompany his girlfriend for lunch?" huo jiu hurriedly asked, as if he could see the silent exchange of gazes between them.

"yeah, i said the steak tastes pretty good, so i came over to try it. "then, i won't disturb your meal any further." wu wei snapped out of his daze when he heard huo jianji's words. he smiled and politely turned around to leave.

she meixin stared at his back, unable to calm down after a long time.

at this moment, she yimeng had already ran out of the bathroom. as she was walking towards the dining table, she accidentally saw wu wei sitting together with ye rong. she immediately rushed over to greet them. "g.o.dfather …"

the crisp voice of he yimeng, "g.o.dfather" frightened he meixin.

how could his daughter have such good eyes? she immediately saw wu wei at the table behind them and even ran over to greet him.

he didn't know how wu wei would react. he could pretend that he didn't know her, but could also pretend that he didn't know he yi meng?

the truth proved that he could, he really could.

after that, she heard his low voice in her ear. "little friend, who are you?"

"g.o.dfather, what happened to you? don't you know who i am? " he yi meng looked at wu wei with his innocent and adorable eyes. no matter how he looked at him, something didn't seem right.
