When he was about to get off work, Huo Jinliang was about to send a message to Tao Yunfeng, saying that he was going to work overtime in the company tonight, and he would go back later, so that she would get off work first.

He typed two lines of words, and was about to send it, when he received a message from Tao Yunfeng, saying that Minister Ou asked her to send a copy of the information, and she is leaving now, and she will go home directly after sending the information.

Seeing that it was still raining outside in the heavy sky, Huo Jinliang told her: "Wife, it's raining outside, be careful when driving." ”

"I know. Husband, what a one. Tao Yunfeng sent a kissing expression.

As soon as Tao Yunfeng left the company on the front foot, Huo Jinliang's ex-girlfriend Dai Minyao went to the YAD company on the back foot and found Huo Jinliang's office.

Seeing her, Huo Jinliang was a little surprised, he didn't expect her to appear in his office at this time.

Dai Minyao came over and told him about the new office building of Dai's company, and met him by the way.

Because she was going to divorce and was too involved, it was likely to put Dai's company in crisis, and Dai Minyao decided to temporarily suspend the new office building project. At present, the main design draft has been completed, Dai Minyao has paid the design fee, and the project has been temporarily shelved. She doesn't know when the project will start again, maybe in a year or two, maybe in the future.

In this regard, Huo Jinliang expressed his understanding.

Looking at her familiar face, he subconsciously said, "You have lost weight." ”

It's a little thinner than the last time I saw her, but her gaze, but between her eyebrows, it seems more resolute.

"Can you see it?" Dai Minyao didn't notice that she had lost weight, and she was in no mood to pay attention to this.

"Hmm. Huo Jinliang nodded, and then asked, "How is your divorce, is it going well?"

"So far, so good. Dai Minyao's answer was a little relaxed, "Some time ago, I submitted the litigation materials to the court, and the court over there has already filed the case and is going through the legal process, and the trial will be held next month." ”

She collected all the information that was favorable to her, and the lawyer submitted it to the court, and now she is waiting for the court to make a decision.

Huo Jinliang nodded again, and asked again: "He, didn't embarrass you anymore, did he?"

The implication is that her husband didn't abuse her anymore, right?

Dai Minyao smiled bitterly, shook her head again, and said, "No." I brought bodyguards with me when I went in and out, no matter where I was, the bodyguard was always around, and he couldn't hurt me. ”

When she was brutally subjected to domestic violence, she woke up and figured out what she wanted and what she didn't want. When she woke up violently, thinking back on her married life for several years, it felt like she had a groggy dream, and finally, she woke up.

Looking back now, in the past few years of marriage, Xi Mingzhe did not treat her as an equal life partner, only treated her as his own private property, and only had a strong possessive desire for her, not only to possess her body, but also to possess her heart, and to control everything about her.

At the beginning, she didn't clearly realize Xi Mingzhe's control over her, and she had been living in the illusion he had created, living abroad with him, away from her parents and friends, away from everything she was once familiar with, and not letting her have too much contact with the outside world abroad, and not letting her have her own contacts and friends. In her world, there is only her husband and the son who was born later......

If it weren't for her father's serious illness and letting her come back to take over the company, maybe she would unknowingly get used to Xi Mingzhe's control over her, be at his mercy like a puppet, and gradually lose herself. She didn't dare to think about what she would be like in a few years, where would she be in a few years? It is very likely that ten years later, she will no longer be her, but a soulless woman who is at the mercy of her husband, who is obedient and obedient, and who cannot be separated from her husband even if she is subjected to domestic violence.

Returning to F City, returning to her parents, and returning to a place she once familiarized, she slowly regained her lost self, but she was slapped hard by reality.

Fortunately, she didn't get lost for too long, and there was still room for redemption.

Thinking that after a while, she would be able to get rid of Xi Mingzhe and regain her freedom, she was a little impatient, and she had to grit her teeth and hold on before she was completely free.

Seeing that Huo Jinliang's expression was a little heavy, as if he was still worried about her, Dai Minyao added: "I didn't realize that he had a serious problem before, and I neglected to take precautions and let him hurt, but now, I won't let him hurt me a hair again." It's not bad to hire this bodyguard now, she is a retired special female soldier, she has her own principles for doing things, she acts when she sees opportunities, and her hands and feet are quite quick. With her here, she can ensure my personal safety. She's right outside the office, are you going to call her in and show you?"

Of course, Xu Mingzhe will not let go easily, but don't try to take advantage of her again.

I lived with him for a few years, I don't know how many times, she didn't listen to him, didn't go along with his wishes, quarreled with him, and then was choked by him on the neck, she never thought before, he said that he wanted to strangle her, he really wanted to strangle her!

She almost strangled to death by him last time, and she felt the fear of death passing by, and she was really afraid. Xi Mingzhe, that madman, is completely crazy, he can do anything! After that night, she resolutely hired bodyguards and stopped letting Xi Mingzhe get close to her.

"No need. Protect yourself, just do it. Huo Jinliang was relieved that she had really hired a bodyguard and would not let Xi Mingzhe's guy hurt her again.

When it's time to get off work, there is a noise of colleagues leaving work outside the office.

Zhang Xun poked his head in and asked Huo Jinliang: "Director Huo, after work, do you want to go down to eat, or will I bring it to you?"

Huo Jinliang told him that he would work overtime tonight, so he ate dinner at the company.

If he works overtime at night, sometimes Huo Jinliang will go downstairs to eat with his colleagues, and sometimes he is busy or too lazy to go down, so he asks Zhang Xun to help him bring it up.

"Bring it with you. Huo Jinliang told him directly.

Looking at the office, Dai Minyao was still there, and Zhang Xun deliberately asked more: "One, or two?"

Huo Jinliang looked at Dai Minyao and asked her, "Do you want to have a meal together?"

Dai Minyao shook her head and said, "I should go back in a while." ”

Seeing that she shook her head and said that she was ready to leave, Huo Jinliang said to Zhang Xun: "One copy." ”

"Okay!" Zhang Xun replied, and turned to eat.

Seeing that Huo Jinliang only ordered one meal, Dai Minyao asked in a joking tone: "Jinliang, your wife is also in the company, don't you eat together after work?"

"She just went out, sent the materials to our minister, and then she went straight home. I'm going to work overtime tonight and I'll be back later. Huo Jinliang replied casually.

Dai Minyao let out an "um", realizing that her question was purely superfluous and she shouldn't have asked.

has talked to Huo Jinliang about both business and private affairs, and she should really go.

"You still have to work overtime, so don't bother you, I should go back. Dai Minyao said, got up from the chair, and turned to leave.

Huo Jinliang stood up and shouted, "Yaoyao." ”

"Huh?" Dai Minyao had just taken one foot and stopped in place and looked back at him.

After so many years, when he called her "Yaoyao", it was still the same emphasis as before, and it didn't seem to have changed at all.

Listening to him call her like this again, I feel that she and he used to be beautiful, just like yesterday just past, and it will continue today and tomorrow.

In a trance, I only heard him say, "I'll send you down." ”

"No, I don't. Dai Minyao shook her head slightly, looking at his familiar face, she was full of confusion, and finally couldn't hold it back, and said regretfully, "Jinliang, I've been thinking lately, I can't help but think that if I chose to be with you at the beginning...... I wonder what will happen now?"

She made the wrong choice and paid the price for her mistakes, and now she regrets it, but she didn't give her another chance to choose.

This regret is destined to accompany her for the rest of her life.

Hearing her suddenly say such a thing, Huo Jinliang was slightly stunned.

Once, he also thought, more than once, what would happen if he insisted a little more, resolutely did not break up, and wanted to be with her?

However, she chose to break up with him and marry Xi Mingzhe.

And he didn't dwell on it, saying that he respected her choice, and really thought that maybe if he married Xi Mingzhe, she would be happier.

They all missed the opportunity to regret it at the beginning, and no amount of ifs in the future could change the established facts.

Seeing that he was stunned and didn't speak, Dai Minyao thought that this was his way of refusing.

I don't want to hear him say again, "Everyone has a young age, and the past is better to stay in the memory." Something like this, she said, "I'm leaving," and hurried out.

Huo Jinliang didn't chase out, he stood in place in a daze, looked at her back, and disappeared outside the office.

Her mind, he understood.

From the first time she appeared in this office and said to him, "I really didn't see the wrong person, I didn't love the wrong person back then!", he felt that her heart still seemed to contain their past, all the good things in the past.

That night, she drank and got drunk, and when she was drunk, she grabbed his hand and coquettishly didn't let him go, saying that she regretted it...... At that time, his heart ached, but he couldn't give her any response.

Now too, he understands her heart, understands her needs, but he can't give anything.

Between him and her, it is no longer the man and woman who loved each other in the past.

Now he has his beloved wife, whom he never thought of betraying him.

However, looking at Dai Minyao's lonely eyes when he left, he couldn't say how distressed he was.

Such a beautiful woman should be cherished and loved, but the man who got her is a bastard and doesn't know how to cherish her!

Outside the window, the heavier the rain and the moon, the blacker it was.

Huo Jinliang's mood was a little heavy, just like the dark sky outside the window at this time.

Because it was raining and it was the rush hour after work, there was a traffic jam on the road, Tao Yunfeng sent the information to the designated place, which was more than an hour late, and was scolded by Ou Zhigang.

The road was blocked for a long time, Tao Yunfeng's good mood for a day was gone, and now she was scolded again, she was very depressed.

She was not in the mood to quarrel with Ou Zhigang, so she stood next to her and let him scold, just listen to a dog barking.

A man sitting directly opposite Ou Zhigang saw her being scolded, smiled at her, and asked Ou Zhigang with a smile: "Minister Ou, she is the most powerful interior designer in your company?"

Ou Zhigang actually humbled her up: "Tao Yunfeng." It's not the most powerful, but there are two hits. ”

"Oh. The man let out a long voice and looked at her again, "It's good-looking, it's good-looking." ”

Whether you look good or not, it's your business!

Tao Yunfeng felt sick when she heard the man comment on her appearance in front of her.

She thought that she was asked to send the materials over, because there was any question that she needed to explain, but she didn't think that Ou Zhigang just asked her to send the materials over, seeing that she was standing still, he waved his hand at her and said, "Tao Yunfeng, what are you doing here, you can go." ”
