C9 Accept to be My Lover
Ji Manman looked at Huo Zun with a determined expression. She didn't believe in life, she only believed in Huo Zun. She believed that with just a single word from Huo Zun, she would be able to live a life worse than death.
"Is this the only request you have?"
"That's right. Be my lover."
"But you are going to be engaged to Ouyang Qing soon." Ji Manman said loudly. She did not understand why she wanted to marry someone else and make herself his lover.
Was she not toying with her?
"That's right. You can only be my lover!" Huo Zun pinched Ji Manman's chin and said fiercely, "I can give you time to think. Don't let me wait too long."
Letting go of Ji Manman's chin, Huo Zun pretended to dislike her and shook his hand.
Slap!
In response to Huo Zun was the loud sound of the door closing. Huo Zun turned around and looked at the closed door. He said slowly, "You will come back."
This time, she had restricted her work. She would come back to find him. This was enough proof that she was not stupid. She knew the simplest way to go.
The street lamps at night were very bright and crowded with people. Ji Manman walked aimlessly. The roads she passed had the traces of her happiness carved on them.
If I can do it again, I hope I have not met Huo Zun.
The monologue in her heart always reminded her that she could not walk down this road by herself.
Ji Manman, who had returned home, was also scolded by Ji's mother.
"The hospital called and said that you have not paid the money yet. It has already been three days. How long are you going to drag it out?"
"I will get it as soon as possible."
After that, she walked to her room. Ji's mother pulled her hair from behind, "Ah!"
"Don't always use these words to make excuses for me. My family doesn't have money anymore and doesn't even have money to eat. Today the waiter came to find me to go out to play cards but I didn't go. You make me lose face like this, do you know?"
Ji's mother grabbed Ji Manman's hair but still did not let go. She could not bear it and screamed. "I said I will gather as soon as possible."
"Damn girl, I gave you face. You dare to shout at me?"
Ji's mother fiercely pulled Ji Manman to the wall. She still had a strand of Ji Manman's hair in her hand. She only felt a piece of her scalp go numb, burning pain.
The injury on her head a few days ago had not healed to begin with. Being pushed by Ji's mother like this, her head began to hurt again.
"I have already found a good family for you. Director Wang said that. If you marry him, he'll give your father a hundred and fifty thousand dollars for treatment. I think you are only worth this money. "Director Wang's people will come tomorrow morning!"
It was such a simple notice and he was sold.
"I am also the child you gave birth to in October. Why do you not have any affection for me?
Ji Manman laid on the ground in grief. She leaned against the wall. The memories of the past were reflected in her mind. In the family, only the father treated her sincerely.
There were many times that Ji Manman doubted whether this mother was her biological mother or her stepmother.
The next morning, Chief Wang came to the Ji family to ask for someone. Ji's mother happily invited Chief Wang into the living room, "Chief Wang, please take a seat first. I will go and call Manman out."
"Hurry up!"
The greasy President Wang's large beer belly could not support his thick back. His fat fingers were covered with gold rings, which made Ji's mother's eyes light up.
"Manman, Manman, Director Wang is here."
Ji's mother knocked on Ji Manman's door. It had been a long time since she opened the door. Ji's mother pushed the door open and went in. Ji Manman's figure was long gone.
The confrontation with Ji's mother last night had hurt Ji Manman's heart. She rushed to Huo Zun's place overnight.
She did not knock on Huo Zun's door. Instead, she sat at his door for the whole night. When Huo Zun went out, he only noticed Ji Manman who was curled up by the door.
He looked up at Assistant Tang who was waiting for him at the door. "She has been here all this time?"
"When I came, Miss Ji was already here."
Stupid woman. She would rather sit at the door all night without knocking. What right do you have to be so stubborn?
"Hey! Get up!" Huo Zun kicked Ji Manman on the ground.
"Huh?" Ji Manman looked up and saw Huo Zun. She held onto the wall and stood up shakily. Her legs were numb. She tucked her hair behind her ears and said, "I've thought about it."
Today Ji Manman no longer tied her hair up. Her scattered long hair still felt like it was from back then.
The hair that had been grabbed last night was still in a painful state. She did not dare to coil her hair.
"Okay, I'll give you the room card. I have something to do and will go out for a while. Wait here for me to come back."
"Okay."
Since she had taken this step, Ji Manman was willing to risk everything. It was better to be Huo Zun's mistress than to be President Wang's aunt.
Huo Zun really had something urgent to do, otherwise he would have brought Ji Manman back to the apartment.
"Yu, Ji Manman is in the suite. Send someone to bring some food over."
"I know."
Mo Yuke had not communicated with Ji Manman for a long time. The kitchen was ready and he personally brought it to Ji Manman.
After brushing the door card, the moment the door opened, Ji Manman thought that Huo Zun had returned and stood up nervously.
Seeing that it was Mo Yuke, she frowned. It had been a long time since she last saw him. The person in front of her seemed a little unfamiliar.
"What's wrong? I haven't seen you for five years. Don't you recognize me?" Mo Yuke was the first to speak. Ji Manman still had that innocent appearance back then. No wonder she was framed and couldn't find any flaws to defend herself!
"You are Mo Yuke?"
"That's right. You can still call my name! Ah Zun ordered me to bring you some food. Eat it while it's hot!"
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome. That kid surnamed Chu drugged you and bullied you that night. Fortunately, Ah Zun and I arrived in time, so we didn't manage to accomplish his trick. Thinking about it now, that night was really exciting."
Mo Yuke's tone was very relaxed. This made Ji Manman lose her wits for a moment. So many things happened that night?
In the end, it was Huo Zun who saved her once.
In Ji Manman's heart, her hostility towards Huo Zun lessened. This was only because she did not want to owe Huo Zun a favor. As a lover, she would listen to Huo Zun's orders without worry.
"Eh? Oh right. Ah Zun's company is in trouble. He won't be able to come back anytime soon. If you are bored, you can go to the first floor to play for a while."
"Thank you, no need. I will wait for him here."
"That's fine. There's no need for us to keep hating each other. Since it's a misunderstanding, let's resolve it. You will definitely be the right choice by his side. " With a reliance, won't you make yourself stronger? " Mo Yuke stood up and laughed." You speak a little too much. I will leave first. You know better than anyone else. "
After many years of friendship, Mo Yuke did not want to see Ji Manman being bullied by others.
