Chapter 182: What Can I Do to Be Forgiven?
.Jingrui squinted, took a drag of his cigarette, and exhaled a thin plume of smoke before gently tapping the bar. "If you can't let go, then just go after her! You two are practically old married coup...Huo Shaoting's face flushed red.
He ignored the slap on his face, his eyes fixed on Wen Man, as dark and deep as water.
Wen Man's heart ached so badly she could barely breathe!
She is not made of wood, she can feel pain.
The things she tried so hard to forget, Huo Shaoting, once again presented himself completely before her.
Wen Man's fair throat moved slightly.
She uttered in a repressed and controlled voice, "Ho Shaoting, some things can be bought with money, like this gde, like these decorations. As long as Lawyer Ho wants, there's nothing he can't buy with money! But feelings, once they're gone, they're gone. No amount of money can bring them back!"
Ho Shaoting gazed at her.
He still looked at her the way he did when they first met, finding her beautiful and wanting to possess her.
But... there's something different now.
As if, by this event.
Wen Man had become an indispensable part of his life, he simply couldn't give her up. If he could, he wouldn't need to be so embarrassed!
Ho Shao-ting spoke with difficulty, "What must I do to be forgiven"
He understands women, especially Wen Man!
He knew she still had feelings for him. If she was angry or resentful, he was willing to make amends, no matter the cost.
Wen Man felt she could no longer talk to him.
She lowered her eyes and gave a bitter smile. “ Huo Shaoting, when I wanted to talk to you, you didn’t give me the chance! Now, what makes you think I owe you this opportunity Send me back, I don’t even have my phone on me!”
Ho Shao-ting's thin lips pursed tightly.
In the end, he still sent her back to the hospital.
The car stops...
Wen Man unbuckled her seat belt and wanted to get out of the car.
Ho Shaoting pressed her arm, his eyes blazing: "I've brought in the best team of experts. They might have a way to treat your foot!"
Wen Man stared blankly ahead.
She said, "No need!"
She then pulled her hand away from him forcefully, got out of the car and shut the door.
Ho Shaoting wanted to follow her, but seeing her rejecting figure, he held himself back.
……
This afternoon, Ho Shao-ting is having a meeting at the firm.
The phone rang.
He saw that it was a call from a team of medical experts, so he gestured to pause the meeting and answered.
On the other end of the line, the foreign expert told him, “Mr. Huo, Miss Wen has refused our treatment. We regret to inform you that we have to return home! Also... based on the existing information, Miss Wen's chances of recovering her foot nerve are less than ten percent.”
Ten percent...
Ho Shao-ting held his phone, expressionless.
He went to the hospital at night, but Wen Man refused to see him!
……
When Wen Man was discharged from the hospital, Qiao Jingnian came over.
He came over specially to see Wen Man and plead for Qiao An.
Wen Man spoke softly: "Regarding Qiao An's case, I have no intention of withdrawing the lawsuit!"
Qiao Jingnian was clearly startled.
He stared intently at the girl before him. She looked so much like his little Man, with the same features and temperament.
"Qiao Jingnian spoke in a gentle voice: "No matter what, she is your sister! Wen Man, can you give her a chance for the sake of your father I've asked Shao Ting about this, but he refused to help. Father can only come to you!"
Wen Man listened, dazed.
He doesn't care, so he came to her
Is it because Huo Shaoting is in charge that the Qiao family can stand tall and sue her
Is there... Dad
Wen Man's eyes welled up: "Mr. Qiao, my father's name is Wen Boyan!"
Joe Jingnian never gives up.
He said more gently, “Grandma at home is looking forward to seeing you. She has already flown over. When she gets here, we can all get together as a family! Listen to Dad, give Qiao An a chance. Our whole family will be good to each other from now on.”
Let Qiao'an go.
Family reunion!
Wen Man was like listening to a joke that had nothing to do with her!
She smiled faintly, raising her eyes to look at Qiao Jingnian: “Mr. Qiao, may I ask why your mother left you all those years ago How did she leave while pregnant, and how did you marry so quickly after”
Qiao Jingnian's complexion suddenly paled.
That past event, that misunderstanding... it was the eternal pain in his heart!
Qiao Jingnian left, dejected and lost.
He went to the Huo family and sought help from Huo Zhending.
Ho Zhen Dong hosted him in his study. After a pleasant catch-up, Qiao Jing Nian expressed his intentions.
Ho Chin listened and smiled.
Actually, he's quite displeased with Qiao Jingnian. If it weren't for him seeking help at his house last time, Shao Ting and Wen Man would have probably been engaged and on the verge of getting married and having children. Such a wonderful girl, wasted!
This time, Qiao Jingnian came over, nothing more than using his own power.
Ho Zhen Dong chuckled, patting Qiao Jing Nian's shoulder like an elder brother: "Jing Nian, having Shao Ting handle this will only pour oil on the fire! Young people, when they experience love affairs, they tend to be impulsive! I think Wen Man won't let go of Qiao An easily. After all, who made Qiao An bump into her in the first place!"
Joe Jingnian was a bit anxious: "Do you have any way"
Ho Zhen Dong smiled again: "There's a way, but I'm afraid Jing Nian, you wouldn't be able to let go of your pride."
Joe Jingnian humbly asked for advice.
Ho Zhen Dong, refilling the teapot, said: "Jo An's actions were excessive! According to normal legal procedures, she wouldn't be able to escape for a year and a half. It'd be better to go to the hospital and get a medical certificate saying she has mental illness!"
Joe Jingnian was stunned.
He looked at his old friend, truly not expecting him to come up with such a method.
To issue a certificate for mental illness, this…
If that's the case, then there's a chance for Qiao An and Shao Ting to be together, right
Jo Jingnian had also thought about this privately.
Wen Man is blood, but the child is very smart, excellent and sensible. She missed Shaoting, she could still have a good marriage, but Qiao An is different, so from a selfish point of view, he hopes Qiao An and Shaoting will end up together!
Now Huo Zhendong's attitude directly indicates that the Huo family does not want Qiao An as their daughter-in-law!
Qiao Jingnian stiffened for a moment before forcing out a smile: "Indeed, that's a method!"
Ho Zhen Dong knew he wasn't feeling well, so he just spoke his mind.
"Jingnian, you need to have limits when spoiling your children! Besides... Wen Man is your biological child. Jingnian, don't be unclear about who is closer to you! I have high hopes for Wen Man, and Shao Ting's mother has also approved. Shao Ting's other half will be a rabbit!"
Qiao Jingnian understood what the Huo family meant.
They don't like Joan!
A twinge of heartache crossed his mind. As willful as Qiao An could be, she was still his daughter after all.
He worked himself to the bone and got a mental illness certificate through connections.
Joan naturally let go.
After days of friction, the past brilliance has dimmed somewhat!
Uncle from the station told her, "Good luck, you got a mental health certificate! But... we'll follow up on this, Ms. Joe. You have to at least go for over half a month of psychiatric treatment, or that certificate is void!"
Joan was about to go insane!
She gritted her teeth: she would definitely not let Wen Man get away with this!
At this time, the uncle said to her again: "It's best not to have dangerous thoughts. Miss Wen has learned that you got a mental health certificate and she has already applied for protection to the court...that is, Miss Qiao, you are not allowed to get within 2 meters of Ms. Wen Man, otherwise we will immediately notify you and send you to a psychiatric hospital!"
After that, they shoved her into the car: “Come on! Whether she's truly mad or faking it, we have to take her to the asylum!”
Joan struggled hysterically: “I want to see Huo Shaoting!”
The man holding her sneered, "Mr. Ho doesn't want to see you!"
Joan was completely stunned...heart, there was only that Huo Xi!Half an hour later, Qin's secretary arrived. He Lu, who was usually so proud, was now clinging to Qin's secretary, complaining: "I always put my heart and soul into m...
