d let the butler support him. Just two steps out, he turned back and instructed Fu Hanlin, "Chat nicely, don't bring up work matters, you only ever think about work!"Fu Hanlin sighed helplessly, "Gra...Fu Yan smiled faintly.

Images of Lu Jingmao involuntarily popped into my mind. He was also a nouveau riche who started from scratch. He designed Song Qing霜 to collaborate with Huo Mingzheng. Greed knows no bounds, and it is said that his company has been acquired by Huo Mingzheng.

She bit her lip, refusing to let herself think about Huo Mingzheng anymore.

After leaving the company, Fu Yan's phone rang. It was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

She casually picked it up.

A heart-wrenching plea came from the other end of the phone: "Fu Yan, I beg you, plead with President Huo for me, spare me, and give my company back to me!"

This sound.

It is Lu Jingmao.

"It was you who offended Huo Mingzheng. From the moment you plotted against him, you should have guessed the possible consequences you might face. I can only give you four words: you reap what you sow."

"My fault" Lu Jingmao suddenly sneered, "You're still in the dark!"

Fu Yan pulled open the car door and got in. Facing someone at their wits' end, she had no patience; she only heard the second half of his sentence, and her brow furrowed.

"What does it mean"

"Do you really think I have the guts to scheme against Huo Mingzheng"

A thought flashed across Fu Yan's mind, one she had had before, only for a fleeting moment. It was quickly dismissed as it had been previously.

The action of starting the car stopped.

Lu Jingmao lowered his voice, anger surging, "Clearly it was Huo Mingzheng who extended an olive branch to me, saying he would invest in my company on the condition of getting your mother, Song Qing霜, involved. After succeeding, he not only failed to keep his promise but dug a hole for me to jump into, took away my company, and had me blacklisted in the industry. I have no way out now. It was all his scheming!"

Today was a rare sunny day, and the temperature was higher than the past two days. Sitting in the car, I wasn't cold at all, but in an instant, Fu Yan felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar.

Lu Jingmao said one thing wrong, Huo Mingzheng's plot was not against him.

But she.

Before, she had been dubious of Li Qin's words. After all, Huo Mingzheng wanted her to have a child for him on the condition that she would submit to him, and at the time, she thought Lu Jingmo's incident was merely a coincidence.

Now her perception has been overturned, Lu Jingmao's affair was fabricated by Huo Mingzheng himself.

This explains everything.

She would go to him for her mother, and he naturally made a promise with her. In two years, she would become pregnant, and then he would give the child to Li Qin to raise.

Lu Jingmao was still pleading on the phone, but Fu Yan didn't hear a single word.

She hung up the phone, her face pale, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

She started the car to go confront Huo Mingzheng, but received a call from Li Qin.

In a coffee shop.

Li Qin handed her a check.

"What do you mean" Fu Yan looked at her coldly.

Li Qin said gently, "Grandpa Huo has already agreed to my marriage with Aze."

Fu Yan bit her lip, a disgusting metallic tang spreading.

Her face paled from discomfort, paired with a cold expression, making her appear aloof and broken.

Congratulations, your wish has come true.

Li Qin grasped her hand tightly. "I should thank you. Without you, he might have been taken by another woman, and I wouldn't have the opportunities I have today."

She pushed the check back a little.

"You served by my side for two years with Azheng. This is your compensation."

Her heart was torn with a jolt, causing Fu Yan to furrow her brows in pain.

Li Qin smiled patiently, “I saw online that you applied to companies outside the province. I guess you want to leave Huo's company, right You could really use this money.”erly, which led Jing Shu to say those venomous words. However, she is still an elder, so we will reduce her punishment by half. Fu Yan, what do you think"Over the past two years, whenever Huo Chengyao...
