Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 120

"Gu Ya wanted her husband to help her deal with Huang De Han, but when her husband found out which company Huang De Han was from, he said, 'I can't help with this favor. Our company has no business dealings with their company, and I'm not familiar with their CEO.'

The other party was the CEO of a listed company, while he was just the CEO of a small company. How could he possibly be acquainted with them?

They were simply not on the same level.

This wife, day after day, always found trouble for him.

Tang Guangyao glared at Gu Ya discontentedly and warned, 'Don't cause trouble for me. We can't afford to provoke their company.'

'Okay, okay,' Gu Ya replied with a smile, trying to appease him.

Her husband couldn't help, but Gu Ya didn't want to give up so easily.

But she didn't have any good ideas at the moment.

Li Man took a few days off to rest, and her body was fine, so she returned to work.

When she arrived at the company, she unexpectedly ran into Huo Jian Sheng.

Seeing Huo Jian Sheng, Li Man remembered the coat he had given to Chen Xiao Hui.

That coat had been sent to the dry cleaners by Chen Xiao Hui, but Li Man felt embarrassed to return it to him. She planned to ask him where he had bought it the next time they met, and then buy another one to give back to him.

Originally, she wanted to buy the exact same coat from the same brand, but she couldn't find any trademarks or sizes inside the coat.

A coat without a brand, yet of such good quality. She was really curious about where he had bought it.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Man gratefully said, 'I'm really thankful to you for the last time at the hospital. Where did you buy your coat? I'll buy another one for you when I'm better.'

If Li Man hadn't mentioned the coat, Huo Jian Sheng would have forgotten about it. Now that she brought it up, he remembered and waved his hand, saying, 'No need, I have plenty of clothes. I don't need that one.'

'How can that be? That coat looks really good and expensive, right? Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?' Li Man asked persistently.

'Um...' Huo Jian Sheng didn't know how to respond to Li Man because the coat was custom-made and she couldn't buy it, and with her current financial situation, she couldn't afford it either.

Looking at Li Man's earnest gaze, Huo Jian Sheng realized for the first time that she was actually quite attractive.

'Really, it's not necessary,' Huo Jian Sheng refused.

'No, I don't want to owe you a favor!'

'If you feel that way, then treat me to a meal.' Huo Jian Sheng blurted out without thinking. He regretted it immediately because he wasn't used to eating with women.

Since being betrayed by his first love, he no longer trusted women and didn't have a girlfriend.

So even at forty-two, he didn't have a girlfriend.

'Okay!' Li Man readily agreed when she saw that Huo Jian Sheng really didn't want her to buy the coat. 'When are you free? I'll treat you to a meal. What do you want to eat?'

She had suggested the meal herself and couldn't reject it now. It was almost noon, so she said, 'How about we go to the restaurant across the street? We can have something to eat.'

'Okay!'

The two of them went to a Hunan restaurant across the street from the company."

Li Man handed the menu to Huo Jian Sheng and said, "Feel free to order whatever you want, no need to be polite with me."

Huo Jian Sheng took the menu, his thin lips curling up, and teased, "Did you get paid?"

"Don't worry, treating you to a meal is well within my means," Li Man smiled.

Huo Jian Sheng glanced at the menu and casually ordered a few inexpensive dishes. He knew that Li Man wasn't doing well financially, so he didn't dare to choose expensive dishes.
