Chapter 14. He is someone else's boyfriend

After realizing where his palm was covering, Wen Li's expression froze for a moment.

Then, she was pushed away mercilessly by Huo Yuanchen.

"I'm sorry, I didn't stand firmly." Wen Li said embarrassedly.

"Yeah." Huo Yuanchen responded very softly, his face looking ugly, and there was an unconcealable disgust between his brows.

It was obvious that she looked down on Wen Li for taking the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

She walked around him, paid the bill, and left, not wanting to have anything to do with her anymore.

Before leaving, Michelle Yim asked Wen Li for her contact information and said, "Come to my house often in the future."

Out of politeness, Wen Li also left her phone number.

When she was leaving, she encountered trouble again. There was clearly no car behind her when she parked, but now, there were cars parked in front and behind her, and they were parked quite close to each other. She tried several times with her poor driving skills, but she couldn't get the car out.

Just as she was sweating with anxiety, someone knocked on the car window. She got off the car and saw it was Huo Yuanchen.

He pointed to the back of the car, "You're blocking the road."

Wen Li looked in the direction of his finger. Her car was halfway across the road, with the front of the car still in the parking space. The road was narrow, and she blocked the way so that several cars behind her could not pass.

Among them, Michelle Yim’s red Ferrari is particularly eye-catching.

"Sorry, I'll leave right away." Wen Li wanted to roll up the car window.

Huo Yuanchen opened the car door before her and said, "Get out."

Wen Li was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he was going to help her move the car, so she hurried down and stood still obediently.

Huo Yuanchen's driving skills were indeed better than hers, and he drove out quickly. When he got out of the car to change to Wen Li, he accidentally glanced at the back seat of the car, but did not react much. When Wen Li thanked him, his expression was very cold and impatient.

On the way to dinner, Zhou Ying asked Wen Li, "How do you know Huo Yuanchen's mother?"

Wen Li explained calmly, "When our business was at its best, we lived in the same neighborhood as Huo Yuanchen's family, but their villa was much bigger than ours."

Fifteen years ago, Haishi was far less prosperous than it is now. There were rarely one or two high-end residential areas in the city, and all the wealthy people of that time lived in them.

However, the development circumstances of each family were different. Some families, like the Huo family, became better and better and had already bought bigger and more luxurious villas. Some families, like the Wen family, gradually declined and had to sell their villas and squeeze into apartment buildings like most ordinary people.

Zhou Ying said, "It turns out that you and Huo Yuanchen have known each other for a long time, but judging from his attitude towards you, it doesn't seem like you were childhood sweethearts at all."

Wen Li smiled, "He probably forgot about me a long time ago. When our two families lived together before, he didn't like me very much and always stayed away from me. After so many years, who would still remember an insignificant person?"

Zhou Ying still found it incredible that Wen Li knew Huo Yuanchen's parents, and gossiped, "Didn't Huo Yuanchen's mother invite you to her house? Do you think she wants you to be her daughter-in-law?"

Wen Li smiled and asked her, "Given the current status of the Huo family, do you think I am worthy?"

Zhou Ying analyzed seriously , "With your face, it's not difficult to marry a rich man. But when it comes to marrying into the Huo family, even if you are my good friend, I have to tell you the truth. You are really not worthy."

Wen Li laughed along with her, "Yes, I don't deserve it."

I knew from the beginning that she was unworthy.

The two quickly ended the topic and started discussing where to go for dinner. In the end, they unanimously decided to go to a popular online hot pot restaurant.

Meanwhile, in the Huo family's car, Michelle Yim stroked the cashmere scarf in the gift box and sighed with satisfaction, "Wen Li's taste is still as good as ever. The more I look at this scarf, the more I like it."

Huo Yuanchen acted as her driver. Upon hearing this, he glanced at the scarf in her hand and said disapprovingly, "She has good taste? She has good taste to like Meng Jinnian."

Qi Meizhen was shocked. "What did you say? Wen Li is with Meng Jinnian?"

Her beautiful eyes were full of gossip. In a moment, she felt annoyed. Then she looked at Huo Yuanchen with a look of regret.

"You have been better than Meng Jinnian in every aspect since you were a child, except for finding a partner. Wen Li is so beautiful. If Meng Jinnian marries her, who knows how good-looking the child will be. Your uncle Meng and aunt Meng will definitely be very proud in the future. I am so envious just thinking about it."

Huo Yuanchen didn't expect Qi Meizhen to think so far. He pressed the corners of his lips and said impatiently, "An Ran is not ugly either."

Michelle Yim's expression suddenly changed. "Don't mention the girl named An to me. It's up to you whether you want to wait for her or not. I tell you, if you want me to accept her, there's no way."

Huo Yuanchen was silent for a while, and said in a cold tone, "She may not be able to look down on your son."

"It's the best if she doesn't like you. I hope she doesn't like you. I hope she stays abroad for the rest of her life and never comes back."

Huo Yuanchen sneered, "Then you can forget about having grandchildren in this life."

Michelle Chik was so angry. Just at this moment, Huo Yuanchen's phone rang, and the word "An" appeared on the screen, which made Michelle Chik almost have a heart attack.

"Don't answer it." She ordered her son sternly.

Huo Yuanchen pretended not to hear, put on his headphones and answered the call.

"Stop the car!" Michelle Yim shouted, "If you want to answer her call, get out of the car and I'll drive home by myself."

Huo Yuanchen still looked indifferent, and just said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I'll call you later."

He hung up the phone and parked the car on the side of the road.

"The road is slippery, please drive carefully." He handed the car keys to Michelle Yim and got out of the car with his cell phone.

Maggie Cheung watched him stroll onto the sidewalk, holding up his cell phone to talk to someone, his mouth opening and closing, his eyes filled with a hint of tolerance, which made her even more angry.

"You little bastard, I'd rather give birth to a piece of barbecued pork than you."

...

Wen Li and Zhou Ying waited in line for nearly an hour at the Internet-famous hotpot restaurant before they finally got a seat. They were both starving and ordered a large table of dishes.

Just as the pot started to boil, someone called Zhou Ying's name, "Teacher Zhou, what a coincidence, you're here to eat hot pot too?"

Zhou Ying looked in the direction of the voice, but for a long time she couldn't recognize who was calling her.

A young girl in a plaid skirt came skipping up to her and said with a grin, "Teacher Zhou, don't you remember me? You taught me English for two years, and you praised me for my perfect pronunciation."

Zhou Ying was a little helpless. All students at Haishi University had to take two years of college English classes after they entered. She was a teacher who advocated encouraging education. After teaching for so many years, she had praised at least 800 students. She really couldn't remember who this girl was.

However, this did not prevent the girl from getting familiar with her.

The little girl was sweet and adorable when she acted like a spoiled brat. She asked Zhou Ying pitifully, "Teacher Zhou, can I share a table with you? I didn't expect this hot pot restaurant to be so popular. I have to wait two hours for the number I drew. I'm almost starving and I can't wait any longer."

Zhou Ying glanced at Wen Li.

Wen Li thought that the other party was a student, which was not easy. Anyway, there were four seats and there was enough room for one more person. At worst, she could just invite one more person.

"Let's eat together."

The girl was overjoyed, thanked him several times, and ran out happily, "Wait a minute, I'll call my boyfriend in."

She brought someone with her?

Wen Li glanced at Zhou Ying, who was also helpless and whispered, "Sorry."

"Forget it. We were pretty ignorant when we were in school." Wen Li smiled and picked up the bag that was on the chair next to her.

Soon, she regretted it.

Wen Li didn't expect that the "boyfriend" the girl was talking about would be Huo Yuanchen.
