Everyone was talking quietly, all eyes were on the jade bracelet.
Zhong Man was at a loss.
To answer or not to answer.
She was already divorced from Shao Jing .
"Thank you grandma soon." At this time, a man's slightly smiling voice sounded behind him, with a warning.
Zhong Man frowned unconsciously and looked over subconsciously.
Shao Jingyan looked at her with a half-smile, as if to say: In front of so many people, how dare you make your grandparents unable to come to the stage?
She smiled bitterly in her heart, and finally accepted the jade bracelet obediently, "Thank you, grandma, for your approval."
Shao smiled happily and waved to Zhong Man, "Come on, grandma will put it on for you."
The jade bracelet contrasted with Yan Li 's fair and delicate wrist. When everyone looked at it, they couldn't tell whether it was the bracelet or the bright wrist that was more dazzling.
Shao Jingyan also lowered his eyes slightly, and his peripheral vision fell on Zhong Man.
She is really charming today, especially after wearing the jade bracelet, her whole person glows with radiance, which makes people pay attention involuntarily.
Unfortunately, her heart is no longer here.
"Grandma, you have forgotten that there are two of us." At this time, a clear female voice sounded outside the banquet hall.
Everyone followed the sound.
Zhong Man frowned.
She recognized this voice even if it turned into ashes .
Shaoning Xin, the youngest daughter of uncle Shao Jingyan , is the most arrogant and domineering young lady with a lot of money.
This Miss Shao has always been very dependent on Shao Jingyan. Every time she appeared in the past, Shao Ningxin would always be at odds with her, either humiliating her in public or bullying her secretly.
Therefore, Zhong Man had a bad impression of her.
Today, Shaoningxin still brings his brother, Shaoningqian .
"You two, why are you here?" Mrs. Shao and the old man looked at each other and saw the helpless smile in each other's eyes.
Shao with a happy heart and said coquettishly, "Grandma, didn't I just pick out a gift for you?"
Shaoningxin is bright and beautiful, with delicate and fair skin, but the most outstanding thing is her eyes, which are scorching and moving, with a flying look.
"Okay, quickly apologize to your grandparents." At this time, Shaoning Qian reminded.
He gave Zhong Man a good impression. He was a surgeon, with an upright appearance and a clear temperament, like a humble gentleman.
Shaoning stuck out her tongue in her heart and held the gift in front of Mr. Shao .
"Grandpa, I wish you longevity." She said with a smile.
Mr. Shao stroked his beard happily.
Zhong Man saw this scene and felt helpless.
The old lady and the old man like this kind of extroverted person, but they don't know that Shaoningxin is the best at acting. He does one thing at home and another outside, and is very eccentric.
She didn't bother to look at him anymore and looked away.
Suddenly, she seemed to see a familiar figure.
Gu Jiayan!
She looked again and saw that it was really him, and the two of them greeted each other with their eyes.
Zhong Man's heart was so excited that she really didn't expect to meet a good friend here.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she moved over slightly, and the two chatted in the small garden behind the Shao family banquet hall.
"Why are you here? Are you with Shaoning Qian again ?"
Gu Jiayan and Shaoning Qian are friends, and the latter often takes Gu Jiayan to various banquets.
"Of course, I thought I could see you when I came over." Gu Jiayan raised his glass and touched Zhong Man's wine.
"You look really radiant today." Gu Jiayan added:
"You should dress like this, charming and majestic. It's much better than the timid look you had before. You didn't notice that everyone looked at you differently just now."
Zhong Man couldn't help laughing.
It seems that she made the right decision.
Gu Jiayan's eyes fell on her wrist, a little worried:
"But the bracelet that Mrs. Shao didn't even get was given to you. I don't know what those people would say. Your mother-in-law is not a good person."
Zhong Man was also a little helpless and sighed.
The jade bracelet is warm to the touch, and its brilliance flows under the light, making it beautiful.
Such a treasure should never belong to her.
She didn't need to think about it, she knew that Kong Yufen was so angry that her teeth were about to break.
"It's okay. When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth." She smiled pretending to be cheerful and did not take this episode seriously.
"Zhong Man." At this moment, an unhappy voice sounded from behind the two of them.
Zhong Man couldn't help but frown. With this voice and this momentum, who else could be there besides Shao Jingyan ?
"Let's go." Zhong Man said calmly.
Gu Jiayan shrugged his shoulders and turned to look at Shao Jingyan with complicated eyes.
"Stop!" Shao Jingyan strode forward and grabbed Zhong Man's arm, "Everyone is waiting for you. If you are seen to be confused with others, then..."
"What does it mean to be unclear? Why can't we be clear about it? Can just saying something to a friend affect you, the president of Shaoda ?" Zhong Man sneered and shook off his restraint.
When she spoke, the disgust and impatience in her eyes were clearly visible.
Shao Jingyan was stunned for a moment and clenched his fists.
he saw clearly just now from upstairs was that when she was talking to Gu Jiayan , she was smiling and relaxed.
But as soon as he came, her expression immediately changed.
Moreover, couldn't she see that the man named Gu was plotting against her?
"Don't forget, you are still my wife, Shao Jingyan . On an occasion like today, please be careful and don't let anyone take advantage of you. I find it embarrassing."
Shao Jingyan suppressed his voice and his tone was filled with anger.
"Ha." Zhong Man looked at him mockingly, "Every time in the past, when you brought Xie Xintong to a banquet and made others misunderstand that she was your wife, why didn't you feel embarrassed?"
With one word, she blocked Shao Jingyan 's mouth.
Yes, this is the first time he has brought her out in the past three years.
Many people asked him who she was.
"That was before." Shao Jingyan was silent for a long time before finally finding his voice:
"It's different now. No matter how resentful or dissatisfied you are, you have to endure it and play your role for me!"
After saying that, he forcefully took Zhong Man's hand and took her away. Zhong Man struggled to get away and scolded him ten thousand times in her heart.
On the dance floor of the banquet hall, men and women were dancing. As soon as the two appeared, everyone's eyes focused on them.
Zhong Man's face was slightly stiff, but he had no choice but to smile and face the attention from all directions.
Shao Jingyan put his arm around her shoulders, and his face, which was so cold and cannibalistic just now, surprisingly softened a lot.
If you observe carefully, you will definitely find a slight smile at the end of his eyes.
Zhong Man felt uncomfortable when he held his shoulder, and warned him with her eyes many times to let go immediately.
Shao Jingyan turned a deaf ear and pretended to take her around to toast her, as if he wanted to introduce her to others.
" Mrs. Shao , you are so radiant and touching. No wonder Mr. Shao has been hiding his beauty in the golden house these past few years."
"Yes, Mrs. Shao is almost as good as a movie star."
…
Listening to the compliments coming from around him from time to time, Zhong Man felt very uncomfortable.When she first appeared, this group of people made a secret bet that she would not be recognized today and would make a fool of herself.It was because of Shao Jingyan 's actions that she became popular again.Oh, she would rather not have such "favor".Zhong Man secretly vowed in his heart that he must become stronger and give himself the confidence.Shao Jing Banquet, get out of here!After going around, everyone has basically met Zhong Man, and they all saw clues from Shao Jingyan 's attitude, and redefined Zhong Man's value.Zhong Man felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he sat down in the corner with a glass of wine.Shao Jingyan was pestered by several business bosses. Zhong Man looked at his slender and straight back and secretly gave him a middle finger."Long time no see, Zhong Man." Shaoning smiled hear
Shaoning stared at Zhong Man with a gloomy heart, his eyes sliding over the bracelet on her wrist.At this moment, this bitch Zhong Man lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.He gritted his teeth and thought about it.Shaoning turned around, took another glass of wine from the waiter's hand, and walked towards Zhong Man very quickly.Zhong Man caught a glimpse of her actions from the corner of his eye and immediately wanted to avoid her, but unexpectedly, Shaoning Xin bumped into her like this.He also let out a soft cry of "Ouch".Zhong Man's scalp went numb , this woman had a clear conscience, and it was because of the bracelet on her hand.If the bracelet was broken, not only would she be embarrassed, but she would also make the old lady angry.In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Zhong Man's mind. She did not panic and ducked to the side of the champagne tower .She was moving very fast, and h
From beginning to end, she didn't even look at him.You can see how disappointed."Younger brother, you should take good care of your daughter. Don't let her cause trouble all day long. She is only in our house now. If something happens outside, will you always protect her?"Mrs. Shao said coldly .Xue Fangfei's face looked really bad, turning green and white at one time and another, "Yes, I understand."After saying that, he gave Shaoning a hard look."That's it, you two, please go out." Mrs. Shao waved her hands, not wanting to see their mother and daughter again.Only Zhong Man and the three of them were left in the living room.Shao sat holding Zhong Man's hand, looking around Kong Yufen, and then at Shao Jingyan, who had a gloomy expression."What do you two have to say?" Mrs. Shao asked.Kong Yufen was happy at the moment , while Xue Fangfei was scolded by the old lady and would not dare to jump around again fo
As soon as she left, Kong Yufen immediately stood up and said to Shao Jingyan :"It's true that you can't control your own wife. She's getting bolder and bolder now, and she doesn't even take us seriously anymore. How is this inappropriate?!"Xie Xintong also boldly said, "Brother Jingyan, Sister Manman did go a little too far today.""That's enough!" Shao Jingyan suddenly stepped on the brakes.The two women behind were unprepared and almost fell down.He said coldly :"Didn't you take what grandma said into your head? To tell you the truth, Zhong Man was planning to divorce me not long ago.But I have to respect her now, because once she causes trouble, it will ruin my reputation, and it will also affect the share price and reputation of Shao Group .So, you two, please restrain yourself and don't provoke her again! "After saying that, he also got out of the car.Kong Yufen and Xie Xintong were left looking at eac
Until he returned to his office, Zhong Man's heart still hadn't calmed down.The patients and nurses outside the door were still whispering, presumably everyone already knew what happened to her.Zhong Man's mind was in a mess, why were these fans so irrational.She thought she didn't need to pay attention to it before, but now she found that she was too naive.At this time, Shao Jingyan handed over a glass of water, "Drink, slowly."Zhong Man looked up at him, took the glass of water, and drank it down suddenly, choking and coughing.Shao Jingyan frowned, "What's the rush?""You have nothing to do here. You can go." Zhong Man said calmly.Where Shao Jingyan was, she always felt depressed and uncomfortable, and couldn't help but want to escape."Forgot who saved you just now? Are you going to kill the donkey?" Shao Jingyan snorted coldly , pulled up a chair and sat down, "You care so much about your so-called friend, why d
Gu Jiayan turned his head and his eyes became colder.Shaoningxin did this and wanted to take a shortcut to deceive her.After all, it would take time and effort to investigate such nonsense, but I didn't expect that it was really her.Why does she have such a deep hatred with Zhong Man that she insists on slandering others like this!"Jiayan, don't be angry. I didn't recognize you at that time. I really thought Zhong Man had betrayed my cousin, so...""Shut up." Gu Jiayan's voice was cold and his eyes darkened.No one knows how important Zhong Man is to him." Shaoning Xin, you have touched my bottom line." Gu Jiayan smiled coldly and looked down at the little girl in front of him, "From now on, don't tell others that you know me."After saying that, he turned around and left.Shaoning was shocked and turned pale.She hurriedly caught up, grabbed Gu Jiayan's hand, and said in a quick voice:"I already know I w
"Hello everyone, I'm going upstairs first, everyone can help themselves."Zhong Man glanced at everyone present, handed the clothes and bag to He Ma, and left.Kong Yufen frowned and said, "Come here, we have something to talk about."It seems that before she came back, everyone already knew that Shaoning Xin had done something wrong.Zhong Man was obedient and went over obediently and sat on the other end of the sofa.At this time, Xue Fangfei spoke, "Manman , I heard that you want Ning Xin to publicly apologize. Is this true?"Xue Fangfei was so beautiful and elegant, and she used to be polite to Zhong Man.But Zhong Man knew in her heart that this was her usual way of dealing with people.She won't offend anyone easily, but she won't let anyone offend her either.Zhong Man knew very well that if he really asked Shao Ningxin to apologize publicly today, he would have completely offended Xue Fangfei."Second Aunt al
In the following days, Zhong Man lived quite comfortably.Because all the people stopped.She devoted herself to her work, and her former editor Chen Nan won her an interview with the head of the editorial department.Zhong Man took out many of his popular books in the past . Although he successfully convinced the editorial director, the latter decided to publish the book online first. If the readership is relatively large, he would consider publishing it later.Zhong Man thought about it, and discussed with Chen Nan to publish the book on the online bookstore owned by Chen Nan's publishing house.That night, Zhong Man slept very uneasily, getting up almost every hour to look at the data in the background.Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain.As soon as "Butterfly Transformation" was released online, it immediately gained tens of thousands of readers. Some people even stayed up late to read it and left messages in the comment ar
