She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

Shao Yan had a bad feeling, especially after seeing how familiar Cao Lao and Huo Xiao seemed, which made her premonition even stronger.

This matter is unlikely to fall apart because of Huo Xiao.

Shao Yan then felt that she was being too sensitive.

Huo Xiao is a lawyer, and his business has absolutely nothing to do with their company.

She shifted her gaze from Huo Xiao to Meng Yu and Pei Yiyi.

The man held Pei Rongrong's hand tightly all night, and Pei Rongrong looked every bit the future Mrs. Meng, in an extremely good mood.

Seeing that Huo Xiao and Old Cao were getting along very well, Pei Rongrong set her sights on Huo Xiao.

Taking advantage of Huo Xiao's free time, Pei Rongrong immediately clung to him, while Huo Xiao remained indifferent.

"Your boyfriend isn't a coward; he can handle this himself. He doesn't need to tell me."

Meng Yu heard this and felt utterly ashamed of the implied meaning.

He couldn't lose his temper with Pei Yiyi in front of so many people.

Although the Pei family behind Pei Rongrong is not as well-regarded as the Meng Group, Meng Yu still understands that without the guidance of Old Master Meng, he would not have been able to bring the Meng Group to its current level.

He suppressed his temper, forcing a smile without any hint of amusement.

"Attorney Huo, you're exaggerating. Our Meng Group has so many projects that we can't finish them all. Countless people are eager to come to us for cooperation. I don't care."

Huo Xiao didn't listen to Meng Yu at all. After chatting with Old Cao, his mind was no longer on anyone at the banquet.

They searched everywhere for Shao Yan's beautiful figure.

Meng Yu also noticed Shao Yan.

The woman's back was the only visible part of her body, but her stunning figure was so captivating that no man could look away, and he would want to see more of her.

Excuse me.

Huo Xiao's eyes were filled with Shao Yan, who had been abandoned again. Every time he saw her, she looked like a helpless hamster, making him feel sorry for her.

"It's that woman. After betraying my uncle, she still has the nerve to come here."

Pei Rongrong was about to go over and remind Huo Xiao when Meng Yu stopped her.

"Your uncle isn't stupid. If that woman really has a problem, Attorney Huo will find out."

Meng Yu disliked Huo Xiao intensely, and he would be happy if Huo Xiao were really cheated on by Han Yifei.

He will definitely watch the dog-eat-dog drama of the future.

Huo Xiao was heading towards Shao Yan when Han Yifei, slightly drunk, walked up to her.

"It's getting late, shall I have the driver take you home?"

Han Yifei had made plans for the second half of the game, and he didn't want Shao Yan to come along.

The places men frequent are completely unsuitable for this woman.

Shao Yan is beautiful and intelligent, and she has a husband. It's worth considering whether the boss is willing to pay her a three million annual salary.

It's possible that Shao Yan is the boss's mistress; keeping his distance and acting as her protector is of utmost importance to him.

Shao Yan gave a soft "hmm" and left with Han Yifei.

Huo Xiao was slightly taken aback; it seemed he had arrived a step too late today.

Han Yifei personally escorted Shao Yan to the door to get into her car. Just now, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of an acquaintance out of the corner of his eye. But when Han Yifei turned around to look carefully, Huo Xiao was nowhere to be seen.

He must be drunk and seeing things.

The next day, Shao Yan was sitting in her office when Han Yifei pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes showing a hint of weariness from the revelry.

"Yesterday's project fell through."

"What?"

Shao Yan stood up from her seat in surprise, hardly believing Han Yifei's words.

She was certain that the language program she designed was working correctly.

Han Yifei leaned against the door, his tall figure accompanied by a mocking smile.

"I don't know where things went wrong either. It was something that seemed certain, but it slipped through my fingers. But it's alright, at least I won't be so busy without this deal. Mr. Shao, are you really sure your programming language is perfectly unique?"

Shao Yan nodded firmly: "Of course."

Han Yifei stared at her with a strange expression.

Do you know which company Mr. Cao chose?

Shao Yan shook her head; how could she possibly know?

"Meng Group, Meng Yu's company. Mrs. Meng, I hope you weren't involved here, otherwise I'll start to suspect that you came to Fit to play a double agent."

Han Yifei left after saying that, and Shao Yan sat in the leather chair in a daze.

Meng Yu, how could that be?

For some reason, Huo Xiao's face suddenly popped into Shao Yan's mind.

A strange feeling welled up inside me.

The ringing of the cell phone on the desk startled Shao Yan.

It was Meng Yu's call, and Shao Yan, as if possessed, took it and held it to her ear.

She decided to sever ties with Meng Yu and made it clear that she would not do anything for the Meng family.

Perhaps because the project fell through and ended up in Meng Yu's hands, Shao Yan felt inexplicably guilty.

"President Meng—"

She was in a bad mood, but Meng Yu's voice sounded cheerful.

"I heard from the HR manager that you took three months' leave, Shao Yan. You don't think the company and I can't function without you, do you?"

Meng Yu's arrival was ill-intentioned.

Shao Yan had no time to think about the Meng family's affairs.

"I'll also tell you that although Rongrong is young, she's very good at negotiating projects. Yesterday, she helped me successfully secure a multi-billion dollar order with the military."

As far as I know, even with the resources Grandpa provided, you still haven't managed to get the business to this level over the years. Don't think that just because I deleted that crappy program I'll have to beg you to do this.

Shao Yan listened quietly as Meng Yu boasted on the phone about how capable his current girlfriend was.

After Meng Yu finished speaking, he deliberately cleared his throat.

"Rongrong is better than you in every way. Don't really think you're so great. You'd better watch yourself."

Looking at the turned-off screen, Shao Yan's mood worsened.

She wrote the program to broaden the path of the Meng Group.

Shao Yan hopes the company can cooperate with the government; before writing this program, Fit had no intention of getting involved in this area.

As long as the Meng Group secures the military's cooperation plan first, it will have a strong backing, and Honda Fit will never be able to surpass the Meng Group.

Han Yifei returned and knocked on her office door.

"I'm thinking of throwing you a welcome party, and I'd like to ask for your opinion."

Shao Yan wasn't in the mood for this. She came with great ambition, thinking she could achieve a grand slam, but ended up suffering a major setback.

"No need, I don't want to be too high-profile."

Han Yifei nodded: "That's true. I also thought the boss had dug up a treasure, but it's nothing special."

A simple "it's nothing" is far more hurtful than the harsh and inhumane words Meng Yu uttered over the phone.

Shao Yan's mood didn't improve until she went to bed that night.

She was still reviewing the situation, unable to understand what exactly Cao Lao was dissatisfied with about the program she designed, and why he chose to cooperate with Meng Yu.

At the banquet, she saw Old Cao chatting happily with Pei Yiyi's father, Pei Hong.

Because we have a good relationship, did you reject the Fit?

Shao Yan didn't think there was any necessary connection between them.

She stared wide-eyed at the nothingness above.

My phone vibrated beside me, and it was especially clear in the quiet night.

Shao Yan didn't expect Huo Xiao to send her a message so late at night.

"Ms. Shao, the black dress suits you very well."

With just a few simple words, Shao Yan already knew that Huo Xiao, who seemed to have no interaction with her at the banquet yesterday, had actually seen her long ago.
