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

Shao Yan simply handed someone a glass of wine, but ended up getting into Huo Xiao's car in a daze.

Thinking about what had just happened, Shao Yan remembered that Huo Xiao had accepted the wine but made her drink half of it as well.

After drinking, Shao Yan felt dizzy and lightheaded. Then she boldly threw herself into Huo Xiao's arms and even wrapped her arms around his neck, asking him to take her to a hotel.

She stumbled and carried the man into the room, where they kissed passionately until the world seemed to spin.

In her dazed state, Shao Yan seemed to see Meng Yu.

Her heart was jolted, and she hugged the man even tighter.

A mist quickly welled up in her beautiful eyes, making one's blood boil.

Huo Xiao looked down at the woman.

Over the years, many women have thrown themselves at him, but he has never been interested in any of them.

Shao Yan is indeed very alluring today.

Huo Xiao drank half a glass of wine handed to him by Shao Yan, and his body felt inexplicably hot.

Shao Yan's looks and figure are irresistible to any normal man, and Huo Xiao is no exception.

It's just for fun, and Huo Xiao doesn't mind having a fling with such a beautiful woman.

Just as the gun was about to misfire, Shao Yan shouted out those two words, "Meng Yu".

The passionate encounter came to an abrupt end. Huo Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but a chill rose in his heart.

……

Two hours later, Shao Yan woke up in her hotel bed with an IV drip in her arm.

"That's interesting, Mrs. Meng."

The deep voice terrified Shao Yan, who was sitting on the opposite single sofa with a forced smile.

"Meng Yu cheated on you with my niece, and you just want to sleep with me to disgust him?"

Shao Yan trembled; she had never even considered that possibility.

The clothes under the sheet were intact, meaning nothing had happened between them.

Shao Yan is fully awake.

Meng Yu's girlfriend turns out to be Huo Xiao's niece.

Shao Yan now feels like she's going to die.

Huo Xiao removed the IV from Shao Yan and threw his suit jacket at her.

"Put these on and get in my car to go back."

Shao Yan blushed and wanted to say that she could take a taxi, but when she saw Huo Xiao's gloomy expression, she shut her mouth.

As they exited the hotel, a black minivan pulled up smoothly in front of Shao Yan and Huo Xiao.

Shao Yan thought about it carefully before realizing that the drink had been drugged.

"Take me there—"

Shao Yan was referring to the Zhao family's old residence. Huo Xiao didn't ask, so she naturally didn't explain.

Shao Yan remained silent with her head down the whole way, like a child who had done something wrong.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the three-story villa.

The car door slowly opened, and as Shao Yan was about to get out, she found a business card handed to her by Huo Xiao.

Shao Yan blushed deeply. She was an adult and understood what Huo Xiao meant.

Huo Xiao wouldn't mind having a relationship with her, but he didn't like being used by Shao Yan.

In other words, if Shao Yan is willing, he doesn't mind.

"Attorney Huo, I think we should stop contacting each other in the future."

Shao Yan wanted to find Huo Xiao to have him represent her in court, not to have a romantic relationship with him.

Huo Xiao gentlemanly helped her out of the car, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Keep it."

Huo Xiao didn't get into the car until he saw Shao Yan enter the door.

He took out a cigarette case from his pocket, took one out, put it to his lips, and lit it.

His gloomy, deep eyes glanced at the rearview mirror.

"Remove those two people's cameras."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

The assistant jumped out of the car and walked directly to the two paparazzi hiding behind the trees.

The two men backed away warily: "What are you doing?"

"Are you going to delete the photos yourselves, or should I do it?"

The paparazzi tightly protected their cameras: "If you dare to do anything reckless, we can sue you."

The assistant said coldly, "Is that so? Now it's our Xuxiao Law Firm that's suing you for violating other people's privacy rights."

The two paparazzi retreated, trembling, but after only a few steps, two bodyguards in black snatched their cameras and smashed them to pieces.

In the back seat of the van, on Huo Xiao's lap, was a laptop containing Shao Yan's personal information.

Her marital status was listed as "unmarried".

Huo Xiao said calmly to his assistant, who had just returned to the car, "Drive."

The van quickly disappeared into the darkness.

When Shao Yan got home, she was still in shock. She opened her palm and found that Huo Xiao's business card was sweaty from being squeezed.

Near midnight, Shao Yan took out her phone and saw that Qu You had nearly twenty missed calls.

She took a shower and was just about to go to sleep when Qu You called again.

"Feed—"

"Shao Yan, where are you now? Someone saw you being taken away by Huo Xiao! Oh my god, you wouldn't—"

Shao Yan was driven to a headache by Qu You's nagging. If it weren't for Qu You's bad idea, none of this would have happened.

"No, nothing happened between Huo Xiao and me. I'm going home."

Qu You paused slightly on the other end of the phone, seemingly relieved but also somewhat regretful.

"Hey, I thought it was you two—"

Shao Yan rubbed her temples, which were throbbing slightly.

Huo Xiao was quite a gentleman; if it were any other man, she would have already done what was supposed to happen after drinking the drugged wine.

Huo Xiao was too proud to take advantage of her vulnerability, so he even arranged for someone to give her an IV drip to save her life.

"Qu You, what kind of friends do you have? Throw them away."

She even went so far as to drug Huo Xiao, a despicable act, and yet she calls herself a socialite from high society. Is this something a rich heiress would do?

"I'm not really that familiar with them. I'm glad you're okay. Get some rest and we'll contact each other again when you have time."

Qu You realized something and quickly hung up the phone.

The following day, Shao Yan received a message from Wang Su asking her to go to the company's finance office to personally check the accounts.

She went to the Meng Group in her newly purchased wheelchair.

The finance manager was waiting and looked at Shao Yan with some confusion when she came in.

"Mr. Wang asked you to review the company's income and expenditure accounts for this year. Is Mr. Meng aware of this?"

Shao Yan looked at the finance manager: "There are rumors in the company that I'm Old Master Meng's man. Manager Li, do you believe it?"

This means that Old Master Meng doesn't need to go through Meng Yu to do what he wants to do.

Manager Li chuckled awkwardly, "How could I dare to speak carelessly about such a thing?"

Shao Yan: "Manager Li, you can leave now. Come back in when I call you."

Manager Li was struck by Shao Yan's sharp gaze, and Assistant Shao, who was not valued by President Meng, suddenly became unusually intimidating.

Manager Li can ignore the messy rumors circulating in the company, but President Wang is one of the company's shareholders, and he was directly appointed by Master Meng. Could it be that Assistant Shao is really one of the old man's people?

Manager Li had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, and he bowed to Shao Yan, his face becoming much more amiable.

"Take your time with your investigation, I won't bother you any longer."

As soon as Manager Li left, Shao Yan immediately accessed Manager Li's computer. However, all she could find were the accounts for all the projects and engineering transactions for this year. As for the investments Shao Yan made in the Meng family in the first two years, there was no trace of them.

She underestimated Old Master Meng. He was a cunning old fox who had been in the business world for decades. How could she possibly get back what she had invested so easily?

Oh--

Shao Yan spent two whole hours checking, but there wasn't a single transaction that could be linked to her contributions.

If she wants to benefit from this marriage, the only way is for her to share the property equally with Meng Yu under the protection of the law.

Grandpa Meng did everything perfectly, and she doubted whether she could really get what she wanted.

She still had Huo Xiao's business card in her pocket. Perhaps, apart from him, Shao Yan really couldn't find anyone else in the entire North City who could help her.

Back at the Shao family home that evening, Shao Yan tossed and turned all night.

Finally, she couldn't resist sending a message to the phone number Huo Xiao had given her.

"Attorney Huo, are you resting?"
