Chapter 503: people always change.
“This issue reveals a cognitive difference between the East and the West. I don’t bla you for not understanding,” said Huo Jingshen in a calm tone.
“Alright.” Dong Manjiao nodded, “Can you now tell why you suddenly got married?”
“No comnt.”
“Jason, I’ve been in Nancheng for a week now. I looked into your wife. She’s a child her father brought ho after marrying another woman. In other words, she’s just an illegitimate child of unknown parentage. During her schooling, she was a troublemaker. After she grew up, she even got engaged to Xing Yuyun, the grandson of the Huo family. She was sent abroad for two years. As soon as she returned to Nancheng, she got married to you in a rush.”
Dong Manjiao couldn’t help but laugh, “Jason, do you think other people don’t know you as well as I do? You don’t have the patience to ta a girl full of issues, even if soone pressured you.”
Huo Jingshen’s voice was deep and warm, “You think you know very well?”
Dong Manjiao laughed more brilliantly, “I’m a woman, so of course I understand n. In this world, there’s no other woman who knows you better than I do. After all, how many years have we known each other?”
“If you really understood n, you would know that people change. Especially n like .”
Dong Manjiao’s smile didn’t falter, “So you an to say, you’ve changed?”
She didn’t believe it.
All n in this world love power and influence. The higher their position, the greater their desire for power and influence. Even soone as outstanding as Huo Jingshen was not an exception.
“If you want to do sothing, I advise you to think thrice,” said Huo Jingshen, seemingly unwilling to discuss it further. He stood up, his tall and slender figure rising gracefully, “I have business to attend to. I’ll be going first.”
“You’re just going to leave like that?” Dong Manjiao’s smile finally faltered sowhat, “Do you not care about my illness at all? Did you just co here to warn today?”
“You can think of it that way.”
“So you’re just going to spoil your little wife like that?”
“Manjiao.” Huo Jingshen finally spoke her na, but his tone was just as aloof and formal as before, “After all these years, I’ve only regarded you as an ordinary friend.”
“An ordinary friend?” Dong Manjiao repeated the phrase.
So they weren’t even friends?
Just…ordinary friends?
She laughed sarcastically, “Jason, I don’t think my devotion to you over the years is re friendship. I also don’t believe you can’t see it.”
“You’re a smart woman. So things don’t need to be said. You should understand.”
“So what? You’re persuading to give up?”
“If you don’t, we will have to beco strangers,” said Huo Jingshen lightly, “After all, my wife is prone to jealousy.”
Her pupils suddenly constricted, and Dong Manjiao once again felt faint.
Strangers?
Each word was more hurtful than the last.
This man always knew how to shatter her pride and calm with just a few words.
But he was right.
She was a smart woman. She knew that verbal argunts were the most powerless and ti-consuming.
Taking a deep breath, Dong Manjiao abruptly changed the subject, “Jason, did you hear? Fu Xihan had an accident.”
Huo Jingshen’s unemotional face since he had stepped into the room finally showed a hint of change, “What happened to him?”
“I don’t know him well. I only heard he was hospitalized, soone shot him. The bullet hit near his heart, he was on the verge of dying on the spot.”
Huo Jingshen’s brow furrowed slightly.
“So, aren’t you going back to the UK to see your good friend? Rember, he was the one who took on all the risks and responsibilities to get you out of the Eastern Alliance.”
Huo Jingshen was indifferent, “I have to go.”
Dong Manjiao didn’t try to keep him, her face revealing a graceful and beguiling smile, “Alright.”

Her car had been parked there for two months. She had intended to check on it, but unexpectedly encountered a familiar figure.
Ling Zhizhou.
Next to him seed to be the sa man as last ti. Were they arguing?
“I told you, I have a plan for this!”
“What plan? Spending your days as a lapdog and playing nice?”
“It’s none of your business!”
“Half a year passed and that’s all you can do.”
“You…”
Ling Zhizhou suddenly shut his mouth, looking slightly flustered at Su Wanwan.
Then he quickly spoke to the man, who imdiately turned around, got into a silver-gray Maybach, and drove away at a high speed.
Su Wanwan watched the car.
A Maybach, huh? That’s worth several millions, right?
Is Ling Zhizhou’s cousin that rich?
“Senior, why did you co to the parking lot?” By this ti, Ling Zhizhou had run over, his face full of his usual sunny smile.
Su Wanwan retracted her gaze, “My car has been parked here for a long ti. I ca to check it out.”
“I see.”
“Were you arguing with your cousin?”
“Huh?” Ling Zhizhou was taken aback, then imdiately said, “We weren’t arguing. We just had so disagreents.”
“Oh.”
“Senior, did you hear our conversation just now?”
Seeing Su Wanwan shake her head, Ling Zhizhou sighed in relief, “He always thinks I don’t know much. Every ti he cos, he just lectures , so…”
He checked the ti, “I have to go to the reading room now. Goodbye, senior.”
“Goodbye.”
Watching his retreating figure, Su Wanwan felt that for so reason, this junior seed to be sowhat secretive lately.
He was clearly arguing with his cousin just now. As soon as they saw her, the man imdiately left, as if he didn’t want her to see him.
