She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

"Qu You, that's enough."

Shao Yan immediately decided to kill him.

"This is the real you, Miss Shao. I thought I had mistaken you for someone else after not seeing you for years."

Shao Yan held the cup, her chest heaving, her mind already considering dozens of methods of murder, trying to figure out which one would suit Qu You.

A full-length mirror sat in the living room, reflecting Shao Yan's exquisitely beautiful and delicate face and her incredibly long and beautiful legs.

She was slightly taken aback. In the past few years in the Meng family, she had indeed forgotten what she looked like.

Moreover, when no one was paying attention to her, she became increasingly self-conscious. If it weren't for Qu You, she probably wouldn't even dare to look in the mirror.

What have you been busy with these past few years?

Shao Yan asked Qu You.

They separated after graduation. Back in school, Qu You and she were best friends.

Qu You has a carefree personality and often does things that are outrageous, but she is extremely good to Shao Yan.

Shao Yan's beauty easily arouses jealousy, and Qu You is practically her only friend.

"I opened an online store selling skincare and cosmetics. Although the brands are niche, they're pretty good. I'll send you a few items to try."

Qu You quickly made a set for Shao Yan.

Shao Yan took the sign in her hand and glanced at it, feeling somewhat helpless.

This is the shining example of domestic products that has recently outpaced all foreign brands; Qu You is truly modest.

"Thanks."

"Hey, it's my treat at the bar tonight. We haven't seen each other in ages, wanna go out for a drink?"

Shao Yan declined, saying, "No need, I have other things to do."

Qu You refused to let her go at all.

"How can that be? You're my lucky charm! Do you remember the stocks you recommended to me back then? Three years later, I made five times my initial investment. Let me tell you, Shao Yan, if you dump me again, I'll go to your house and kill myself."

"..."

Qu You grabbed Shao Yan's arm, and looked at Shao Yan with teary eyes.

"Come with me, there's some juicy gossip. My girlfriends and I are planning to gang up on Huo Xiao from Xu Xiao Law Firm tonight. Want to join us for some fun?"

Shao Yan had originally decided to find a way to escape, but she was stunned when she heard Qu You's words.

"Whom are we to surround and strangle?"

"Huo Xiao, this man is notoriously abstinent. I have a friend who's a socialite in Beicheng. She's had a crush on him for a long time and is determined to win him over tonight no matter what. Why don't you come along and have some fun?"

Shao Yan's heart trembled violently.

Now she is all alone and helpless. Huo Xiao is a well-known top lawyer in Beicheng. As long as you can afford it, there is no case he cannot win.

If this man could help me get back the money I invested in the Meng family, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"Please?

Shao Yan got goosebumps all over her body.

Finally, he reluctantly answered, "Okay. Which bar?"

Qu You almost jumped up.

"ST, let's go wild tonight, girl."

The night was as dark as ink, but the ST bar was filled with deafening music.

At the entrance, through the opened car door, a pair of incredibly long legs in red high heels landed gracefully and elegantly.

The bartender, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was stunned by the face of the woman who had just walked in.

"Hey, let me introduce you. This is my best friend, Shao Yan. These are all my friends."

Four beautiful women, each with exquisite makeup and a hot figure, sat on a bright red sofa.

Shao Yan's arrival instantly overshadowed these women who considered themselves exceptionally beautiful.

"Yao Ling, Xu Shiyi, Zhang Liangliang, Sheng Yin."

After introducing each person, Qu You pulled Shao Yan to sit down.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they quickly set their sights on today's target—Huo Xiao.

The man was wearing a dark blue shirt, with a few buttons undone, revealing his collarbone.

He leaned against the bar, his well-defined knuckles holding a glass of whiskey. The overhead light sliced ​​through his face, casting shadows on his brow bone and making his eyes deep and unfathomable.

The man accompanying Huo Xiao had a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, and occasionally leaned over to exchange a few words with Ling Xiao.

"Ahhh, this is Attorney Huo! He's much more handsome in person than in the magazines."

It was the first time Qu You and the others had seen the real person, and their excitement was palpable.

"Poetic, don't you like it? Hurry up and do it."

In the short time Huo Xiao sat there, he had already gone to several places to strike up conversations.

They kept staring, and some of them were young girls. They didn't know what the man next to Huo Xiao said, but he made the young girls cry.

Xu Shiyi was already timid, and now she was even more frightened and dared not move.

"Shao Yan, why don't you go in Shi Yi's place?"

Qu You doesn't know what got into her, but she started targeting Shao Yan.

Her mention of it immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially Xu Shiyi, who had been so confident that she would win over Huo Xiao before coming here, but now she was acting like a coward and didn't know where to make up for her embarrassment.

Shao Yan's face flushed red, but luckily the lights were too bright to see.

"I can't."

She didn't want to go, but these women grasped at Qu You's suggestion like a lifeline.

"Shao Yan, you're the prettiest here, you have the best chance, please help me."

The fact that Xu Shiyi, a wealthy young lady, was willing to lower herself to beg Shao Yan, whom she had only just met, shows that she was determined to win over Huo Xiao.

"Yes, it's just handing over a glass of wine and conveying Shiyi's sentiments."

Yao Ling filled the glass in front of her and handed it to Shao Yan.

Qu You chimed in, "Just help me out, okay?"

Unable to refuse, Shao Yan had no choice but to get up and walk towards Huo Xiao with the wine in her hand.

Huo Xiao didn't like coming to such a noisy place, but Qi Yanli insisted on dragging him there.

Under the dazzling lights, Shao Yan wore a sequined knee-length dress with her back completely bare, a thin strap hanging around her neck, revealing her smooth and sexy figure, which was very eye-catching.

Qi Yanli, who had just chased away the girls harassing Huo Xiao, stared wide-eyed.

Huo Xiao turned around unconsciously, and Shao Yan was already in front of him.

"Can I buy you a drink?"

Shao Yan felt her teeth chattering as she spoke. It wasn't that she hadn't confessed to Meng Yu before, but for some reason, she felt like running away whenever she saw Huo Xiao.

Qi Yanli opened his mouth, and after a long pause, uttered two words: "Holy shit—"

Absolutely top-notch.

Shao Yan unexpectedly met Huo Xiao's gaze, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes as well.

Shao Yan's beauty is breathtaking and captivating, especially when her hair is down; even the slightest movement exudes charm and allure, captivating the heart.

Many people think she has the face of a lover and is naturally charming enough to seduce men.

Huo Xiao's gaze inadvertently swept over her long, fair legs, his dark eyes darkening slightly.

He'd seen plenty of beautiful women, but someone like Shao Yan truly captured his heart.

Huo Xiao's eyes were indifferent, and before he could move, Qi Yanli's hand came over.

"Miss, you've got the wrong person. My brother here doesn't like women. I'll drink the wine for him."

Shao Yan was naturally shy, and this scene was completely out of her mind when she met Huo Xiao. She was so embarrassed that she scratched her toes on the ground, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

Huo Xiao gave Qi Yanli a warning look, then glanced at her and asked, "Didn't you just say you were going to the restroom?"

Qi Yanli is inexplicable. When did he say that?

Huo Xiao's voice was a little deep: "Aren't you going?"

Qi Yanli's heart trembled, and his body involuntarily rose to his feet.

After taking a few steps, he turned back. Strangely, Qi Yanli felt that after all these years, he was still so pathetic in front of Huo Xiao.

When the prayer ceremony was returned to its original position, Huo Xiao and Shao Yan were nowhere to be found.
