Chapter 171 Stumbling Block on the Road to Revenge
A private club in the capital
In a room that was decorated with high-end style and filled with luxury, a charming woman was holding a wine glass, drinking red wine one sip after another, looking very bored!
"I wonder what tricks Zhao Man is up to? Humph!"
Mrs. He II threw the invitation in her hand heavily to the ground, her eyes fixed on the door, she was very angry. Ever since the last incident, not only did her husband ignore her, her son spent his days in debauchery, even He Zhiyuan, who always respected her, was full of hostility towards her!
Thinking of this, she angrily smashed the wine glass in her hand against the wall. With a crisp sound, the red wine dripped down the wall onto the floor, making a mess!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Knock, knock, knock... Madam, someone is here!"
At this time, a bodyguard in a black suit walked in with a middle-aged man!
When Mrs. He saw this person, there was finally a little smile on her face. She sent people to check Zhao Man's identity and background, but found nothing. Her mother was missing and her father died early. She could be said to be an orphan. She wanted to find some dirt on her, but she had excellent grades since she was a child, and everyone who knew her praised her!
Just when Mrs. He Er felt that she had no chance of winning, she suddenly found this man, who was said to be Zhao Man's uncle. Not only was he a compulsive gambler, he was also a drug addict!
The man stood tremblingly in front of Mrs. He. He had a rat-like face, a pointed chin and a sickly pale skin. His hands and feet kept shaking and his body was a little hunched!
Mrs. He frowned slightly and looked at the man in front of her. She wiped the juice on her hands with a handkerchief and asked casually, "Are you Zhao Man's uncle?"
"Madam, I am here. Did that little bitch Zhao Man offend you? I will definitely help you teach her a lesson!"
The second wife hooked her red lips slightly and raised her hand to stop him: "Hey, she is my sister-in-law after all, why would I bother with her? I just want to know if she has done anything shameful in the past?"
The man took a step forward excitedly, and Mrs. He Er quickly stepped back, her eyes full of disgust, "Just stand there and talk!"
The man began to talk incessantly about Zhao Man’s various unbearable past events. His words were fierce and vivid, and it was hard not to be convinced. After listening to them, Mrs. He felt a lot better!
"Okay, I'll ask you to come here tomorrow and repeat what I just said. Here's 100,000. After the matter is done, I'll give you another 500,000! Do you hear me?"
The man's eyes sparkled, and he took the check with trembling hands, saying repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you, ma'am, I will do it! Don't worry!"
"Take him away!"
The bodyguard hurriedly urged the man to leave. Mrs. He sat back on the sofa with a happy expression, shaking the red wine glass in her hand, "Zhao Man, I want you to be ruined!"
Blinded by hatred, she had gone mad at this point, and she didn't even bother to verify the truthfulness of what the man said!
At this time, Nangong Jin was having dinner with Zhao Man. She looked at the invitation in her hand and curled her lips: "Zhao Man, why are you holding a charity dinner for a foundation for no reason?"
Zhao Man elegantly took off her sweater, revealing the low-cut suspender dress with floral patterns underneath. Her every move was full of charm, and even Nangong Jin couldn't help blushing when he saw her!
"Senior, I just took over the foundation, so I have to deal with those people. Besides, I have prepared a good show for tomorrow, please come and support me!"
The fiery gazes of the opposite sex around in the restaurant were almost all glued to Zhao Man, but Zhao Man was not self-conscious at all and smiled brightly. Soon, a man with a gloomy face at the door was walking towards them quickly!
Nangong Jin could only pretend to cough to remind Zhao Man, "Senior sister, what's wrong with you... Hey, who grabbed my hand..."
She looked up angrily and met the man's fiery gaze. "Aren't you at work? Hey, put me down..."
"I'll take the person away first, take your time!"
He Zhiyuan said this, and walked towards the door holding Zhao Man without looking back!
"He Zhiyuan, I haven't finished eating yet...put me down!"
"Wife, I told you this morning not to wear this dress, but you didn't listen and even sneaked out! You will be punished for not listening, let's go home!"
When Zhao Man heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong. If she went home, she would be tortured half to death again. She quickly said in a flattering way: "Zhiyuan, I put on my coat. My senior is still waiting for me. Haha, you should go back to work!"
At this time they had arrived at the parking lot. He Zhiyuan threw her into the back seat of the car without saying a word. He then leaned over and pressed her down. The car doors were closed and locked, and the windows turned black. Only the warm light from the overhead lights shone on them!
"You, ... it's daytime now, and I have another day tomorrow..."
"Don't worry, I am measured!"
He spoke in a hoarse voice into Zhao Man's ear, and kissed those tender and tempting lips impatiently, and his hands moved neatly to take off all the clothes!
When Zhao Man saw the possessiveness in his eyes and the blush on his brows, she knew that she was going to be taken advantage of again!
She couldn't help but lament in her heart that the biggest stumbling block on her road to revenge was the man in front of her who was riding on her!
The next morning, Zhao Man sat in front of the dressing table, glaring at the man sitting next to her with murderous intent on her face!
"Is this what you call being sensible? Ah, how am I going to go out and meet people?"
Zhao Man's fair neck was covered with red marks. "Wife, I was wrong. You were so attractive that I couldn't help myself! I'll help you find a suitable dress!"
But as soon as he arrived at the cloakroom, his face turned pale. The clothes hanging there were either off-shoulder or backless. For the first time, he felt that there was something wrong with the design of these clothes!
"Mr. He, where are my clothes? Have you picked them out?"
Zhao Man stood behind him with a gloomy expression. He Zhiyuan's back stiffened. "Why don't we wear this one?"
Zhao Man looked at the clothes in his hand and stamped her feet in anger, "This is a winter dress, and it's summer now..."
Seeing that she couldn't rely on him, Zhao Man could only pick out a red silk double-shoulder dress for herself. In order to cover up the marks, she had to let down all her hairstyles and let the makeup artist cover up the rest!
Even the makeup artist couldn't help but secretly look at the two of them with a blushing face!
After dealing with this little episode, Zhao Man and He Zhiyuan appeared at the venue of the charity gala, the He Hotel!
The upper class is a social circle, and interpersonal interactions are always inevitable, so there are quite a few people coming to the banquet!
He Zhiyuan took Zhao Man to toast and interact with them all the time. His woman must not be looked down upon!
At this time, Mrs. He Er also arrived in full dress, and Zhao Man immediately went to greet her, "Second sister-in-law, thank you very much for coming!"
"It's right for one family not to speak the same language!"
The two of them smiled and hugged each other, and they seemed to have a very harmonious relationship, but Mrs. He had a sneer on her face!
When all the guests arrived, Zhao Man, as the host, naturally had to go on stage and give a speech in person!
"Thank you all for coming to this charity dinner today. I would like to offer a toast to you all!"
She raised her glass and took a sip of wine gracefully, then continued, "As the new chairman of the foundation, I will definitely do my best to benefit those poor children..."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Zhao Man, you are a fickle woman, a slut who has been fucked by thousands of men!"
His words shocked everyone present, and Zhao Man, who was standing on the stage, had already turned pale! Only Mrs. He was drinking red wine happily!
