Chapter 182 Encountering Yu Wanyin as a Drinking Partner
That night.
Inside an upscale venue, the lights were dim and flickering, and the music was blaring.
Huo Jingchen, dressed in a suit and tie, with a slender figure, walked in the corridor of the bar, with his assistant Chen Bo leading the way in front.
"Boss Huo, room 888 is in front. Boss Jiang is inside."
Hearing this, Huo Jingchen couldn't help but frowned and said unhappily: "Next time when we discuss cooperation, can we not choose such a noisy place?"
Hearing this, Chen Bo looked surprised, "Boss Huo, didn't you always come here to discuss business with clients before?"
Huo Jingchen glanced at him indifferently, "The past was the past, and the present is the present."
"Oh, I understand." Chen Bo immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Huo is married now and has a family. Coming to a place like this to discuss business, Mr. Huo is afraid that the young lady will be angry, right?"
Huo Jingchen did not respond, but just quickened his pace.
Just as he reached the door of private room 888, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a drunk man staggered out and almost bumped into Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen frowned and turned aside, but his eyes caught a glimpse of the familiar face sitting on the sofa.
Yu Wanyin was wearing a tight black miniskirt today, her hair was a little messy, and there was a hint of confusion and helplessness in her eyes.
She was being pulled by the arm by a ferocious-faced man and seemed to be struggling.
Yu Wanyin also saw Huo Jingchen. Panic flashed in her eyes for a moment. She shook off the man's hand and tried to escape.
Huo Jingchen just frowned slightly and soon returned to normal.
"Mr. Huo is here, please take a seat." When Mr. Jiang saw Huo Jingchen coming in, he immediately stood up with a smile and went to greet Huo Jingchen.
Huo Jingchen didn't say anything, just walked over and sat down on another independent sofa.
"Mr. Jiang is really in a good mood!"
Although Huo Jingchen didn't know why Yu Wanyin was here, she was not the only one here drinking with him tonight. There were several other hostesses sitting on the sofa.
"Isn't this to support Mr. Huo?" President Jiang smiled and winked at Yu Wanyin beside him.
"Wanyin, you see Master Huo coming, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and pour some wine for Master Huo."
Everyone knows that Yu Wanyin was once the eldest daughter of the Yu family. Because she loved Huo Jingchen, she hurt Huo Jingchen's wife Lin Wanwan and was banned by Huo Jingchen, which led to the bankruptcy of the Yu family.
Today, Yu Wanyin has fallen to such a place to serve drinks as a waitress. The former rich lady has been deified.
No matter how glorious and proud she had been, she was now no different from other hostesses.
These wealthy businessmen all liked to ask Yu Wanyin to accompany them for drinking, just because they wanted to see how the eldest daughter of the Yu family had fallen. Everyone wanted to laugh at her and humiliate her.
Yu Wanyin clenched her fists, suppressed the anger and pain in her heart, slowly stood up, and responded respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Jiang."
Then, she walked towards Huo Jingchen step by step, sat beside him, picked up a glass of wine on the table, and handed it to him.
"Mr. Huo, your wine!"
Huo Jingchen turned his head to look at Yu Wanyin, then subconsciously moved to the side, keeping a certain distance from her.
Then, he sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "What? Miss Yu has fallen to this point?"
Huo Jingchen's words were undoubtedly like rubbing salt into Yu Wanyin's wounds.
Yu Wanyin's hand trembled, the wine swayed in the glass, and a few drops spilled on her hand. She bit her lip, a trace of humiliation flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up, "Master Huo, this has nothing to do with you, right?"
Huo Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Humph, it has nothing to do with me. I just feel a little sad to see the once high and mighty Miss Yu in this state now."
"Mr. Huo, please stop pretending to be merciful. Isn't all this all thanks to you?" Yu Wanyin lowered her voice. There was hatred in her eyes, but more of despair.
Huo Jingchen's face darkened. "Miss Yu, isn't this your own fault? When you hurt my wife, you should have thought about this day!"
President Jiang was watching the two of them from the side. He noticed that the atmosphere was not right and tried to smooth things over. "Mr. Huo, we are here to discuss business today. Don't let this bitch spoil our fun."
Huo Jingchen glanced at Mr. Jiang coldly, and Mr. Jiang immediately felt a chill on his back.
Huo Jingchen turned around and said to Yu Wanyin, "You'd better not play any tricks in front of me, or you'll be in trouble."
Yu Wanyin took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Don't worry, Mr. Huo. I'm just here to keep you company. I won't do anything unnecessary."
At this time, a wealthy businessman nearby started to make a noise, "Miss Yu, it's not enough to just pour the wine. You have to drink a glass with Mr. Huo." Others followed suit.
Yu Wanyin looked at Huo Jingchen with a hint of pleading in her eyes, but Huo Jingchen remained indifferent.
Yu Wanyin gritted her teeth and picked up a glass of wine, "Mr. Huo, I toast to you." After that, she drank it all in one gulp.
The wine went down her throat, feeling extremely spicy, just like her current situation, bitter and uncomfortable.
Huo Jingchen felt a little annoyed. He stood up with an unpleasant look on his face and said coldly, "Boss Jiang, I'm not in the mood to talk today. Let's make an appointment another day."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
"Hey, Master Huo..."
When Mr. Jiang saw Huo Jingchen leaving, he slapped Yu Wanyin in the face and said angrily, "Bitch! It's all because of you who offended Mr. Huo and ruined my business!"
Yu Wanyin covered her face with tears in her eyes, "I'm sorry, I'll leave right away."
After saying that, Yu Wanyin ran out of the private room feeling aggrieved.
Chen Bo followed Huo Jingchen and walked out of the bar.
"Mr. Huo, are we just leaving like this and not discussing business with Mr. Jiang?" Chen Bo looked anxious.
"Tell President Jiang later that I'm not in the mood and the cooperation has been cancelled." Huo Jingchen said indifferently and walked quickly towards his Rolls-Royce.
"Ah?" Chen Bo, who was following behind, couldn't help but laugh or cry.
Mr. Huo, can you come up with a better excuse? Not in the mood? How can he explain it to others?
At this moment, Yu Wanyin chased out of the bar, shouting Huo Jingchen's name, "Jingchen..."
"Jing Chen, wait for me, I have something to tell you."
Huo Jingchen opened the car door and was about to get in. After hearing Yu Wanyin's voice, he slammed the door shut in displeasure.
Then, he turned to look at Yu Wanyin who ran out in high heels, his handsome face still indifferent, "Miss Yu, do you have anything else to say?"
Yu Wanyin ran to Huo Jingchen, panting, tears in her eyes flashing under the light. "Jingchen, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
Her voice was filled with tears and pleading, "Jing Chen, for the sake of our past relationship, can you give me another chance? I really don't want to accompany drinking anymore, I want to go back to the old days."
Huo Jingchen clasped his hands together and said expressionlessly, "Yu Wanyin, I have already given you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Your biggest mistake was provoking Wanwan. Haven't you and your sister hurt her enough?"
