Poor little homeless, Mr. Huo took her home and loved her

Chapter 172: Backing off

Wen Shanshan shrank behind Wen Deye, looking timid.

Zhou Ning explained: "I didn't see any warning signs before I went in."

Wen Shanshan blurted out: "That's just your bad luck."

If I had arrived a second later and waited until the cleaning staff locked the door before going, I wouldn't have been trapped.

The cleaner is old, so it's inevitable that he is a little confused when doing things, but Zhou Ning is still young and has a clear mind. If something like this happens, she can only blame her bad luck.

After she said it, she realized that the tension was getting stronger and stronger. Wen Shanshan was terrified and didn't even dare to look at Huo Qingzhou's face.

Huo Qingzhou said in a cold voice: "How dare you say that about my Ning Ning! Don't even think about cooperating with me!"

After saying this, he carefully held Zhou Ning in his arms and prepared to leave.

When Wen Deye heard that they could not cooperate, his face changed and he hurriedly stopped Huo Qingzhou: "Boss Huo, don't be angry. Shanshan speaks like that, without thinking, but he doesn't mean any harm. You see..."

Huo Qingzhou's face turned cold.

Wen Deye couldn't care less, so he pulled Wen Shanshan and yelled, "Hurry up! Apologize to Mr. Huo and Miss Zhou."

Wen Shanshan was extremely reluctant, but when she saw the expression on Wen Deye's face and thought about how he rarely spoke to her in that tone before, she knew that cooperation must be very important to the Wen family.

She had no choice but to apologize.

However, these could not change Huo Qingzhou's attitude.

His voice was cold: "Ning Ning is trapped. It's not as simple as firing a cleaner, and it can't be solved by your apology. It's your responsibility that this happened at your banquet. I will not accept your cooperation."

Then he carried Zhou Ning away.

Wen Shanshan became anxious and followed closely.

But Huo Qingzhou didn't give her any chance to speak.

She watched Huo Qingzhou hugging Zhou Ning with gentle and caring movements, which made others envious under the light.

She stood in the light, distraught.

Little did they know that there was someone standing in the dark, hiding a turbulent situation.

Seeing Huo Qingzhou taking Zhou Ning away regardless of everything without giving him any face, Wen Deye sighed. He didn't expect that such a disappointing thing would happen at a thank-you banquet.

These servants are clueless and always cause trouble for him.

Now the cooperation is lost, which is a huge loss.

Wen Shanshan was as anxious as a headless fly and came to him: "Dad, what should we do now? Mr. Huo was rude to me just now and his attitude towards me was very bad. You should go and say a few words to him quickly."

She was worried that because of this incident, Huo Qingzhou's attitude towards her would become even worse, so how could she get close to him in the future?

Wen Deye looked at Wen Shanshan helplessly and said, "You should say less."

"I……"

"If you had said less in front of Mr. Huo just now, you wouldn't have added fuel to the fire."

Wen Shanshan regretted it very much, but she didn’t think too much about it just now. Her mouth really couldn’t help it and had its own thoughts.

Wen Deye sighed: "Don't put your mind on him anymore."

Seeing her father asking her to give up, Wen Shanshan frowned and said, "Why? I don't want it."

"Can't you see that his heart is not with you?" Wen Deye advised, "His attitude towards that little girl is obvious. If you continue to be stubborn, you will suffer in the future."

Wen Sansan felt mixed emotions.

Wen Deye felt bad seeing her like this, but knowing that she needed to digest it herself, he didn't say much and hurried to deal with the cooperation matters.

He had to think of another way to see if he could change Huo Qingzhou's attitude.

Although the chances are slim.

Wen Shanshan found a place and sat down sadly, feeling frustrated.

All she could think about was how Huo Qingzhou had just been mean to her.

When she thought about how Huo Qingzhou had disregarded the face of his elders for Zhou Ning, not only scolded her harshly, but also threatened that he would not cooperate, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

This situation made her want to back down.

"Are you ok?"

A gentle female voice suddenly came from beside me.

Wen Shanshan came to her senses and looked over, only to see He Mei walking towards her and sitting down next to her.

Wen Shanshan immediately sniffed and restrained his expression.

He Mei's face was full of concern: "Sister San San, I see you sitting here alone and looking a little listless, did something happen to you?"

Wen Shanshan would of course not tell anyone what had just happened. She didn't even want to recall it. Whenever she thought about it, Huo Qingzhou's cold face would appear in front of her.

He Mei: "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to. I'll sit here with you for a while."

Seeing that Shanshan didn't say anything, He Mei knew what was going on and just sat quietly beside her.

After a while, Wen Shanshan suddenly muttered, as if talking to herself: "If a person's heart doesn't seem to be with me, should I give up?"

He Mei's eyes changed slightly when she heard this.

She carefully considered her words and comforted him, "Although I don't know what happened to you, and I don't understand why you said it so suddenly, but I can be sure that you must have thought too much. For someone as perfect as you, Sister San San, who wouldn't have their heart set on you?"

"Don't flatter me."

"I mean it. In my eyes, you are just that kind of person, and I believe others will think so too."

When Wen Shanshan's dull eyes met He Mei's determined gaze, they brightened up a little.

These words undoubtedly gave her confidence again.

She has always been like this. Whenever she hears compliments, she can't help but become inflated to the point of losing herself.

He Mei pressed on: "In my opinion, if you like someone, you have to be brave. Sister San San will be the kind of person who never gives up."

"Of course."

Wen Shanshan accepted the compliment with a little guilt.

After being persuaded by He Mei, she felt a little better and thought that she should not back down but should face the challenge head-on.

the other side.

After Zhou Ning was carried into the car by Huo Qingzhou, she felt a little tired and leaned directly into the man's arms. She could smell the faint fragrance from his body, which made her feel very comfortable.

Huo Qingzhou looked at her worriedly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Zhou Ning shook his head, "I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."

"It's all my fault for chatting with others about work. If I had found out earlier, you wouldn't be trapped."

Hearing the self-blame in Huo Qingzhou's tone, Zhou Ning rubbed against him: "It's not your fault. Besides, I didn't stay in the bathroom for long before you found me."

Huo Qingzhou looked at Zhou Ning with increasingly deep gazes. He was speechless and just hugged her tighter.

Zhou Ning suddenly thought of something and asked, "You gave up cooperation for me, is it worth it?"

Although she is an outsider, she is also aware of the principle of win-win cooperation. If she agrees to cooperate, it will definitely bring a lot of benefits to the Huo family.

But if you refuse...
