Chapter 6. Provoking Professor Huo will bring bad luck

If the occasion wasn't wrong, Zhou Ying really wanted to applaud Wen Li.

It’s so awesome that he can actually handle Huo Yuanchen, a big Buddha.

Although she and Huo Yuanchen were not from the same college, all the teachers with a little seniority in the school knew that Professor Huo, the most strict and unkind professor in the School of Life Sciences, was a romantic who would only take one out of a thousand possibilities. No matter how much the elders of the Huo family urged him over the years, he had been dragging his feet on getting married and not dating anyone of the opposite sex, just to wait for his white moonlight who was far away abroad to return home.

It’s so admirable that Wen Li was able to take him down.

Zhou Ying admired him for only a moment, but when she saw the look Huo Yuanchen gave Wen Li, she couldn't help but worry for Wen Li.

The truth is, Huo Yuanchen's expression was too cold. He didn't show any sign of being attracted to Wen Li. Instead, he seemed to be faintly impatient.

Just like he had rejected countless times before when women confessed their love to him.

"Professor Zhou." Huo Yuanchen nodded from Zhou Ying, "I put the meeting materials on your desk."

As he said that, he walked towards the door.

When passing by Zhou Ying, his eyes lightly swept over the jeans in her hand, his lips raised, and the sarcasm in his eyes was clearly visible.

Zhou Ying's mind suddenly exploded.

As soon as Huo Yuanchen left, she immediately locked the door and rushed over to strangle Wen Li.

"Xiao Li, have you been bewitched by Professor Huo's beauty? No, I warned you not to provoke Professor Huo. You can't afford to offend him."

She was angry, worried, and felt sorry for Wen Li. "Look at you. You're already stripped down like this, but he's still indifferent. Don't be fooled by his gentlemanly demeanor. He's actually a gentlemanly scoundrel who has hurt so many women's hearts in private. Even if you're worried about your uncle's illness, don't go after him."

Wen Li was strangled by her and couldn't breathe. He slapped her hands several times before finally making her let go.

Zhou Ying calmed down and became worried again. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you that Pratt was developed by Professor Huo's team. I shouldn't have told you that 80% of Huo's Pharmaceuticals' patents are in Professor Huo's hands. If I hadn't told you, you wouldn't be so embarrassed in front of him."

After a pause, he sighed again, "Fortunately, I was the only one who saw this today. I won't tell anyone, and Professor Huo probably won't bother to tell anyone either. So, Xiao Li, you can just pretend that nothing happened and don't have to feel any psychological burden."

Wen Li had already changed his pants. After listening to her rambling, he suddenly blurted out, "Huo Yuanchen has already given me the medicine once."

Zhou Ying's eyes widened instantly.

"You mean, you and Professor Huo, you..."

She opened her mouth, but couldn't finish the rest of the words for a long time.

Wen Li said for her, "We slept together. After that, he wanted to get rid of me, and I asked him for Pratt."

"So, you were just... planning to continue asking him for Pratt?"

"That's right."

Zhou Ying felt that Wen Li was a little too optimistic. In other words, she didn't think Huo Yuanchen would have any different feelings towards Wen Li.

Wen Li and Huo Yuanchen had known each other for a short time, so she didn't know him well enough. She didn't know how terrifying this man could be when he became heartless, nor did she know how infatuated he was with his white moonlight.

"Anyway, I'll help you think of a solution for Pratt's problem. All roads lead to Rome. You don't have to hang yourself on Professor Huo's tree. There are always other ways."

Zhou Ying said this, but she was worried to death.

She forgot who told her that a few years ago, the Huo family had found a marriage partner for Huo Yuanchen. When the two met, the woman was very satisfied with Huo Yuanchen.

Later, it was unknown how the news of the arranged marriage reached the ears of Bai Yueguang who was abroad. Bai Yueguang only congratulated Huo Yuanchen on the phone, and Huo Yuanchen broke up with the arranged marriage partner.

It was said that the woman was unwilling to give up and had a few quarrels with Huo Yuanchen, which annoyed him. Then the business of the woman's family went downhill and the marriage was aborted.

The marriage partner is at least the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. It would be easy for Huo Yuanchen to deal with Wen Li, who has no money or power.

Zhou Ying didn't want to see her best friend get into trouble.

As for Wen Li, she originally just wanted to keep Huo Yuanchen in suspense all night and contact him the next day to tell him she was "free". But who would have thought that her words would come true and she really was not free.

Hu Huifen slipped on the snow on her way to the hospital cafeteria and broke her leg. Fortunately, she was in the hospital and underwent surgery on the same day.

It was just a pity for Wen Li, who had to run upstairs and downstairs between the two wards and take care of both her father and mother, who were patients. She was so tired that she had no energy to think about Huo Yuanchen.

It took half a month to finally find a caregiver.

As soon as she got home, she sent the first message to Huo Yuanchen.

"Professor Huo, I'm free tonight."

She pressed the send button confidently, but was surprised to see a glaring red exclamation mark in the chat box.

Huo Yuanchen blocked her.

Wen Li was extremely anxious. Seeing that her father's medicine was almost gone and Huo Yuanchen was about to cut off all ties with her, she was at a loss for words and lay in bed uncomfortably for the entire afternoon, her pillowcase soaked with tears.

No matter how much she cried, she still had to cheer herself up at night, use foundation to cover the dark circles under her eyes, and carry her camera to go out to work.

A rich second-generation lady is having her birthday tonight, and her studio has taken on the job of taking photos of the birthday party, responsible for capturing the moment of the lady and her friends gathering together.

Zhou Ying drove to pick her up. As soon as they met, she was shocked by her red and swollen eyes. "Professor Huo dumped you so soon? I told you that you two wouldn't last long. He's too difficult to deal with. Even you can't hold him back."

Wen Li rolled her eyes at her and said stubbornly, "It has nothing to do with Huo Yuanchen. It's my family's business."

Zhou Ying also knew that Wen Yongjie was not in good health, otherwise she would not have given Wen Li advice and asked her to find a solution from Huo Yuanchen. Although her original intention was to suggest that Wen Li go to Meng Jinnian for help and let Meng Jinnian ask Huo Yuanchen for help.

Who knew Wen Li was so brave that he bypassed Meng Jinnian and slept with Huo Yuanchen.

Zhou Ying didn't want to upset Wen Li, so she quickly changed the subject, "Just focus on your work tonight. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll be your follower and go with you to see the world of high society."

Wen Li nodded.

She sat in silence for a while, then suddenly spoke, "Why do you think I can't hold Huo Yuanchen? Is it because he has someone in his heart?"

Zhou Ying concentrated on driving and didn't say anything for a while.

She paused, then said to herself, "But I heard that his white moonlight is going to marry someone else."

Zhou Ying glanced at her and said meaningfully, "So what? As long as Professor Huo likes her, that's all. To be honest, I once heard Professor Huo talking on the phone with someone, and he said in person that he would not let her marry anyone else."

Wen Li didn't expect Huo Yuanchen to have such a paranoid side. Suddenly, she ate a big melon. After savoring it for a while, she couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if I could make Huo Yuanchen never forget me."

She was a little jealous of Miss Bai Yueguang. If she could make Huo Yuanchen so sick, why would she have to worry about a few boxes of medicine?

She gave her first and second time to that man, but he blocked her in the end, a complete scumbag. But this scumbag was deeply in love with another woman, which made her look even more useless.

Wen Li sighed, still feeling extremely depressed.

It was already a big blow to him, and when he met acquaintances at the birthday party, Wen Li's mood became even worse.
