C2 Embarrassed
Ji Manman bent down expressionlessly and stuck out her tongue at the filth. She knew that Huo Zun wouldn't pity her and would never change his mind.
Just as the tip of her tongue was about to touch, something unexpected happened. The person who had just left the room suddenly shouted, "Master Huo, Miss Ouyang is here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a beautiful woman pushed open the door of the room. Although Ji Manman did not look back, she had already guessed who it was.
She was once her best friend, her most trusted friend, Ouyang Qing.
Ji Manman's memories were pulled back to five years ago. Five years ago, today was the day she was engaged to Huo Zun. That day, her best friend gave her a glass of water and she did not know what happened after that.
When she woke up again, Ji Manman saw an unfamiliar man lying beside her and she was naked. She knew very well what had happened.
She originally planned to hide it from Huo Zun, but who knew where the media got her ugly photos and videos and reported it in Jiangcheng.
Since then, she and Huo Zun had been separated and no longer had any contact. Although she would sometimes think of that beautiful time, she knew the truth and had never taken the initiative to look for Huo Zun.
However, why did Ouyang Qing come back here? Could it be that she came to look for Huo Zun?
Sure enough, the first thing Ouyang Qing said was, "Hubby, why did you come here? The guests are still waiting for you."
Ji Manman slowly raised her head. Hubby? Could it be that the two of them are married?
Although Ji Manman suspected that Ouyang Qing framed her behind her back at that time, she was her best friend. How could she do that kind of thing? Even after that incident, she had never contacted me. Ji Manman only thought that her reputation was too bad.
Now that she thought about it, everything seemed to make sense. Ouyang Qing only wanted her to leave Huo Zun so that she could replace her. Everything was planned beforehand. So that was how it was.
But now that things had come to this, she did not have any evidence. Who would believe her? Perhaps even her biological mother would not believe her.
At this time, someone handed her a card and said fiercely, "Take the money and get lost. You don't have good eyesight!"
After saying that, he violently pulled Ji Manman up. Ji Manman only felt her body lighten and was thrown out of the room.
Even if she fell to the ground, no matter how painful it was, Ji Manman only held that card and a handful of bills. Those were all father's life-saving money.
Not far away, there was a cleaner who saw this and helped her up. Seeing Ji Manman like this, she helplessly sighed.
Ji Manman stabilized her body and thanked the cleaning auntie. Then, she went to her changing room and changed out of her exposed clothes.
There was a group of people surrounding the entrance of the clubhouse. In front of the man in the middle stood a woman with an extraordinary bearing. At this moment, the woman's face was full of grievance.
"Why are you here?" Huo Zun asked impatiently.
Ouyang Qing quickly replied, "I don't trust you, so I came to find you."
Even if Huo Zun was cold to Ouyang Qing, she did not show any dissatisfaction. It had been like this for the past five years.
Hearing Ouyang Qing say so, Huo Zun became even more impatient. "Alright, you can go back. I'm fine!"
With that, Huo Zun left the clubhouse, leaving Ouyang Qing alone at the entrance for a long time.
Finally, Ouyang Qing clenched her fists. Good Huo Zun, you actually came out to find Ji Manman behind my back. Sure enough, you still don't give up.
Even if she did not see the face of that woman just now, she would definitely not admit her mistake. That person was Ji Manman. Earlier, she had only heard that she was really here. She really did not expect that she was really here. Fortunately, she was prepared. Otherwise, this trip would have been in vain.
Ji Manman came to the boss to settle the bill. She handed the money Huo Zun gave to the boss and said, "This is a tip for me. In addition, the money you promised me cannot be any less."
Ji Manman was not stupid. She did not know how much money there was in the card, but with Huo Zun's wealth, there was no lack of money. Therefore, she did not plan to say anything about the card.
The boss counted the money and could not help but say, "I saw Young Master Huo come out with a gloomy face and thought you provoked him. I did not expect you to get a tip."
Ji Manman said expressionlessly, "He was unhappy because his wife ruined his plans. It has nothing to do with me. But I have to thank his wife."
After saying that, Ji Manman smiled self-deprecatingly. Thanking her? Thanking her what? Thanking her for setting me up back then? Thanking her for giving her her current life?
If Ouyang Qing hadn't done something behind her back, she and Huo Zun's children would have left now.
Ji Manman gently shook her head. Now that things had come to this, what was she still thinking?
Hearing Ji Manman's words, the boss refuted, "What? Young Master Huo would be afraid of that woman?"
"Do you know what day it is today?" The boss continued.
"What day?" Ji Manman really did not know that ever since her father got sick, she had been so focused on making money that she had basically forgotten everything.
The boss smiled. "Today is Young Master Huo's engagement day with the Ouyang family's daughter. The two families have invited countless relatives and friends, but before the engagement banquet has even started, Young Master Huo came to our place to have fun."
Ji Manman was stunned. Huo Zun was not like this in the past. What was going on now? Did something happen in the past five years that she did not know?
"Now you know how powerful Young Master Huo is. All the girls are sticking to him." The boss said proudly, as if he was talking about himself.
Even though Ouyang Qing was like this, she was still a little envious. At least she could stay by Huo Zun's side. With her ruined reputation, she was afraid that she would never meet anyone who liked her again in her life.
Ji Manman took her money and left the club. Before she left, she did not forget to look back to see if there was any sign of Huo Zun. To be honest, she was in despair in the room, but only now did she realize that she could not completely let go of him.
In these five years, Ji Manman had dreamed of him more than ten times and a hundred times. Every time she woke up, her face was full of tears. She thought that she would completely give up this time, but she herself was so useless. She just could not control the thought of her previous life with him.
In a daze, Ji Manman came to the hospital. She stood at the door of the hospital for a moment and suddenly remembered something. She rushed to the ward in a hurry.
In the ward, Father Ji was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Ji's mother saw Ji Manman come back and quickly grabbed Ji Manman's arm and shouted, "Where is the money?!"
Ji Manman looked at her father on the bed and slowly took out all the money from her bag.
Before Ji Manman could take it out, Ji's mother grabbed the bag. Ji Manman wanted to say something but stopped.
