The next day, Pei Rongrong learned that Meng Yu had not yet been released on bail, and she went back to Huo Qingyue crying to complain.

"Your uncle has his reasons. Detention isn't a big deal. He'll be out in a few days. What are you crying about?"

Huo Qingyue completely sided with Huo Xiao.

Pei Rongrong also noticed that since her mother discovered her shameful deeds, she hadn't spoiled her as much as before.

"But Mom, he's the company president. It would be so embarrassing for him to be in jail. Besides, he fought for me. That Peter was trying to harass me, so Meng Yu did it."

Pei Rongrong begged for a long time before Huo Qingyue finally agreed to call Pei Hong and ask him to handle it.

Shao Yan woke up in Huo Xiao's bed the next day; she had slept very soundly.

Huo Xiao was having breakfast downstairs, and Shao Yan followed him down.

She checked Weibo and Toutiao on her phone, but there was no news about Meng Yu.

It seems that either the Meng family or the Pei family has taken steps to influence the situation.

It was just a fight; there was no need to make such a big deal out of it and put it on the news.

Huo Xiao reached out his hand to Shao Yan, and Shao Yan obediently walked over.

He lifted her onto his lap, his hand caressing the soft flesh of her waist.

"Let me know if you see Meng Yu again, okay?"

Shao Yan's body trembled; he knew everything.

A fleeting look of panic crossed her eyes.

"I have nothing to do with him. He lied to me and said he knew Qu You's whereabouts, which is why I went there."

Huo Xiao did not doubt the truthfulness of Shao Yan's words; she had no reason to lie to him.

"Qu You? What happened to her?"

Shao Yan's eyes lit up. Why shouldn't she ask Huo Xiao for help with something like this?

She felt like she had found a lifeline.

"Dr. Qin Mu took her away, saying that your godfather is looking for her."

Huo Xiao hooked his lips around hers, his eyes full of ambiguity.

"Mrs. Huo, your husband is always so irritable. Instead of trying to comfort me, you're interested in the affairs of other people. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

"..."

Shao Yan believes that every woman should learn a skill that a man possesses.

That's turning the tables.

Every time she came back, she would feed him first before doing anything else, and she rarely had time to rest. He still complained that she didn't put her heart into him.

Shao Yan suddenly felt sorry for the owner of the Fit. He must be very frustrated to have hired a vice president like her who was paid a high salary but was often out of sorts.

"How so, Mrs. Huo?"

His hands began to wander restlessly over her body, and Shao Yan blushed.

"Qu You is my friend, can you help me find her?"

Huo Xiao applied a bit of force, causing Shao Yan to gasp in surprise.

Seeing the coldness in his eyes, she could only soften her body and lean closer, her voice gentler.

"Is it okay?"

When Shao Yan acted coquettishly towards Huo Xiao for the first time, Huo Xiao felt a little uncomfortable. She was being coquettish with him for someone else's sake.

However, Shao Yan's coquettishness pleased Huo Xiao.

She was held tightly around the waist and couldn't move. Huo Xiao kissed her lips, his voice incredibly suggestive.

"That depends on how Mrs. Huo behaves later."

Shao Yan was helpless. This man always used this as a bargaining chip, and every time he managed to seduce her until her legs were weak and she couldn't get out of bed for days.

"How about tonight?"

She still had to go to the company, and Huo Xiao wouldn't let her go for at least three hours.

I finally managed to go to work normally, and now I'm going to skip work again after just one day?

Huo Xiao looked at her for a while, and whether it was because his conscience bothered him or what, he actually let her go.

"Okay, then let's wait until tonight."

The two had breakfast together. Huo Xiao accompanied Shao Yan to the company first, and then returned to his firm.

As he was getting out of the car, Huo Xiao squeezed her hand.

"You are not allowed to meet with Meng Yu alone in the future."

His words carried a hint of domineering, and Shao Yan obediently hummed in agreement before getting out of the car and heading to the company.

Huo Xiao didn't let Cheng Qian drive away until her figure had completely disappeared from sight.

As soon as Shao Yan arrived at the company, Han Yifei had his secretary invite her to his office.

She knocked on the door. Han Yifei was talking to his assistant, and when he saw her, he gestured for the assistant to stop.

"Is President Han looking for me?"

He was always the one who went to find her; the first time, she was "invited" to come to him.

"Mr. Meng is free tonight, so I've scheduled the celebration banquet for tonight. Mr. Shao, is that alright?"

Han Yifei seemed very busy. Shao Yan remembered her agreement with Huo Xiao, but the cooperation between Fit and Meng's Group was more important at the moment.

They met every night, and she thought he could wait.

"no problem."

This is the first step in Fit's gradual encroachment on the Meng Group. She cannot miss this opportunity, and she must do it well to convince Meng Yu of Fit's sincerity in cooperating with the Meng Group.

Han Yifei seemed to remember something and suddenly asked, "What if Attorney Huo has any ideas about this?"

Shao Yan was slightly taken aback. When she got out of the car, Huo Xiao had reminded her to let Meng Yu know if she met him, but this was the company's celebration banquet, not a private meeting. Not telling him wouldn't violate their agreement, right?

Shao Yan smiled and said, "No need."

Han Yifei clicked his back teeth: "Okay."

Shao Yan deliberately ignored her unease and went back to her office to work.

Before leaving get off work, she sent Huo Xiao a message saying that the company had to make an extra shift and she would be busy until very late, so he didn't need to come to the company to pick her up.

Huo Xiao had just hung up the phone with Han Yifei when he received the message.

He knew that Meng and Fei Du were having a celebration banquet that evening.

What Shao Yan meant by "working overtime" was actually attending a banquet.

Huo Xiao felt extremely displeased, but he didn't say anything. He only replied to Shao Yan with a single word after nearly half an hour.

"it is good."

Shao Yan began working on her day's tasks.

Meng Yu was looking thoughtfully at the schedule Ye Xin had given him when Pei Rongrong walked in and snatched the schedule from his hand.

"Hey, there's a banquet tonight, and it's for Honda Fit? Aren't you and Fit mortal enemies?"

Pei Rongrong discovered that Meng Yu originally didn't want to tell her; he wanted to attend the banquet alone and formally meet Shao Yan.

In a business-like manner, persuade her to give up on Huo Xiao.

Shao Yan is now the vice president of Fit, and he controls the Meng Group. If the two join forces, there will be no other business group in Beicheng that can rival the Meng Group.

If Shao Yan really cares about his relationship with Pei Rongrong, he will consider giving up his relationship with Pei Rongrong.

"Well, their attitude is alright, so I've decided to consider the bigger picture and reluctantly cooperate with them. If the Fit doesn't meet my expectations later, the cooperation will be canceled at any time."

Pei Rongrong had no doubts. Although Meng Yu's Meng Group was temporarily inferior to Honda Fit, she had great trust in Meng Yu's abilities.

Besides, her uncle was there to support her, but Pei Rongrong was still not entirely at ease with Shao Yan.

She felt that this woman had flirtatious eyes and liked to seduce men, so it was hard to say that Meng Yu wouldn't fall for her trap.

"Have you decided to bring a female companion?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Meng Yu gently tapped Pei Rongrong's nose in a feigned affection.

"Of course I'll take you. I've prepared a dress for you; try it on."

Meng Yu gave the dress he was about to send to Fit to please Shao Yan to Pei Rongrong instead.
