“Alright, Ling, do you want to give us a chance to apologize?”Chen Tao turned to Huo Jiling after seeing that Li Muyao didn’t like him and Li Meimei. After all, they were good brothers who grew up together. It could be said that after Huo Jiling returned to China, Chen Tao was one of Huo Jiling’s friends who spent the most time with him.
Chen Tao didn’t think Huo Jiling would be the kind of man who would get angry over a woman.
That was why Chen Tao had asked his girlfriend to pick Huo Jiling up from the airport as soon as he heard that Huo Jiling was going back to Jin City.
Huo Jiling glanced at Li Muyao and finally refused,””Chen Tao, Mooncake and I have received your apology. We forgive you. However, we can’t eat this meal. Besides, we have to go home to visit my grandmother first.
There will be plenty of opportunities and time to eat together in the future. Then we’ll leave first.”
Li Muyao didn’t like Chen Tao, and Huo Jiling only realized it after he woke up from the car accident. To be honest, this was the first time Huo Jiling had made a mistake. However, since Huo Jiling was willing to let his girlfriend be comfortable, Chen Tao and Li Meimei had to stand aside.
Chen Tao was shocked by Huo Jiling’s answer. He thought that Huo Jiling wouldn’t fall out with him because of a woman like Li Muyao. In the end, Huo Jiling agreed to Li Muyao’s request and refused to accept Chen Tao and Li Meimei’s apology.
Although Huo Jiling said he accepted it, he actually supported Li Muyao’s attitude towards Chen Tao and Li Meimei with his actions and attitude.
“Li Muyao, why are you so stingy? I’ve already said it before. If you don’t like me, you can come at me. Don’t let Ah Tao and Second Young Master Huo ruin their brotherhood.
Li Muyao, Ah Tao and I sincerely apologize to you. You said you would forgive us. Then we’ll pick you up and treat you to a meal. Is this over?
Women should be more generous. Don’t always be so stingy. Otherwise, with your status, it’ll be difficult for you to enter our circle. Li Muyao, you have to know that you’ve offended us before. If I take you along, I’ll definitely bring you a lot of benefits and won’t let you be ostracized again!”
Li Meimei was angry at first, but as she spoke, she felt a sense of superiority. Indeed, Li Muyao was just a village girl from a small county in Sha City. She was lucky to be able to get close to Huo Jiling.
If Li Muyao wanted to be accepted into Huo Jiling’s circle, she would need a lot of connections.
Besides, Li Muyao had offended Chu Lili and Mei Yuehua by coming to Jin City.
However, Li Meimei didn’t know. Li Muyao really didn’t want to rely on Li Meimei to get close to Huo Jiling’s circle. In Huo Jiling’s own words, he had brought Chen Tao to his circle of friends in Jin City.
Without Huo Jiling, it would be hard for Chen Tao to get close to Huo Jiling’s real friends. Moreover, Huo Jiling’s friends knew that Chen Tao had made things difficult for Huo Jiling’s girlfriend because of the Golden Farm incident.
Last time, Huo Jiling went to Jin City on a business trip and settled this matter.
“Miss Li, my mooncakes don’t need you to be kind enough to bring them into your so-called circle. As long as she’s happy, I can make any kind of friends she wants.
Chen Tao, take Miss Li and leave. I don’t like her much, just like my mooncake.
If you still regard me as your brother, then don’t bring Miss Li to appear in front of Mooncake and me again.
Alright, I think you understand what I mean, Chen Tao. Let’s not waste our time.”
Huo Jiling didn’t need Li Muyao to say anything. He took over the conversation for Li Muyao and then explained what he meant.
“Ah Ling… Alright, sorry to bother you.”
Chen Tao was Huo Jiling’s good friend and childhood friend, so it was obvious that Huo Jiling was angry. He said that he really didn’t like Li Meimei.
Forcing Li Muyao and Li Meimei to be friends was impossible in this lifetime. There was no hope of a handshake.
Huo Jiling told Chen Tao not to bring Li Meimei to Li Muyao, so that the brotherhood between Huo Jiling and Chen Tao could be maintained. However, if Chen Tao couldn’t understand human language and couldn’t restrain his girlfriend, Li Meimei, then he would really lose his brother and childhood friend, Huo Jiling.
Chen Tao led Li Meimei out of the way and watched Huo Jiling and Li Muyao get into the Huo family’s chauffeur’s car before getting in.
As soon as he got into the car, Li Meimei started to lose her temper. Chen Tao had indeed told Li Meimei a lot before he came. He had asked Li Meimei and Li Muyao to apologize and lower their stance. Even Chen Tao’s family had given Li Meimei a lesson. No matter if the Chen family could cooperate with Golden Farm again, they had to let Chen Tao and Huo Jiling repair their relationship.
In the end…Li Meimei’s appearance had the opposite effect! I still don’t know.
“Ah Tao, this woman Li Muyao is really too much. I’ve already lowered myself to her like this, yet she still picked on my logic and your thorns. Also, wasn’t Huo Jiling a genius?
Didn’t he not get close to women? Why was he so mesmerized by this vixen Li Muyao? I don’t even want to be your friend anymore. I’m so angry. I won’t talk about the Golden Farm anymore. Now, we’ve already apologized to them and even pretended to be magnanimous and forgiving. In the end, we’re not willing to give face to you, our good brother, and we’re sitting in your car to be sent home.
I don’t think Huo Jiling really cares about you. Huo Jiling…”
“Enough! Meimei, can you be quiet for a while? Things between Ling and I are already terrible. Can you stop making trouble for me? Ling and Li Muyao were engaged before.
Even though they had broken off the engagement before, Ling and Li Muyao had now resumed their relationship as a couple.
Previously, Ling and Li Muyao were engaged to each other because of their parents. It was normal for them to cancel the engagement. But now, Ling and Li Muyao were together, and he thought highly of them.
That’s because Ling truly likes Li Muyao and values her more than he does me.”
After Chen Tao explained to Li Meimei, he pinched the bridge of his nose. Previously, he had thought that Li Meimei was his goddess, whom he had liked for many years. Now that he finally had the chance to be with her, Chen Tao was naturally obedient to her and was willing to listen to some of her suggestions.
However, after Huo Jiling got into a car accident two months ago, Chen Tao realized that his goddess-like girlfriend, Li Meimei, wasn’t as innocent and kind as she used to be.
However, Chen Tao and Li Meimei had secretly gotten their marriage certificate a month ago. Chen Tao knew that he and Li Meimei needed to get along.
The likes and the people he liked when he was young would slowly change over time.
Li Meimei felt wronged after Chen Tao’s stern warning. She felt that Chen Tao had changed. They had only gotten their marriage certificate, but Chen Tao did not love her as much as before. Take today’s incident as an example.
Li Meimei had done all this for Chen Tao and the Chen family. They had asked Li Meimei to apologize, and Li Meimei had already done so.
It was Li Muyao, this slut, who had a superior attitude and was unwilling to accept Li Meimei’s apology.
Why did everyone think that it was Li Meimei’s fault?
Li Meimei felt extremely wronged, and her eyes instantly turned red.”Ah Tao, who am I doing this for today? It’s all because of you. Your so-called good friend and childhood friend, Huo Jiling, doesn’t even treat you as a brother. He even belittled me because of Li Muyao.
As my husband, it’s fine if you don’t stand up for me, but you’re blaming me.
Why are all men like this? What? Before she managed to get him, she had been coaxing him in all sorts of ways. You didn’t cherish it after you coaxed me. You called me Little Tian Tian last night, and today, you’re looking at me with disdain and saying that I’m insensible.”
Li Meimei’s choked voice made Chen Tao feel embarrassed, but it also made his heart ache. After all, she was Chen Tao’s long-lost goddess. It was Chen Tao’s long-cherished wish to become his wife from his girlfriend.
Alright, Chen Tao would also say who was at fault for today’s matter, but it had to be resolved anyway.
Chen Tao still lowered his head and apologized to Li Meimei, his goddess wife.””Meimei, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have said that about you. It just so happens that you don’t like Li Muyao, so you don’t have to hang around her now.
Be good! Didn’t you take a fancy to LV’s latest bag?
Let’s go, hubby will take you to buy. If one bag is not enough, then buy a few more bags. As long as it can make your wife happy and smile, you can spend as much money as you want today!”
A goddess was still a goddess. Even if she became a wife, Chen Tao would still treat her well.
Chen Tao felt that the slight discomfort and change with Li Meimei might be because he was not mature enough, and they had not yet changed from being a couple to being husband and wife. That was why they felt that the other party’s change was not as good as he imagined.
Perhaps it would be fine after some time.
As for what happened after Chen Tao and Li Meimei got into the car, neither Li Muyao nor Huo Jiling knew nor was interested in knowing.
After they got into the car, Huo Jiling told them why Chen Tao came to the airport to pick them up.”Not only did Chen Tao know that I’ve returned to Jin City, a few of my brothers also know.
Mooncake, when Grandma goes abroad this time, I want to bring you to meet my friends and brothers. Is that okay?”
Everyone around Huo Jiling knew about Li Muyao.
However, Li Muyao’s status as Huo Jiling’s fiancée had changed to half fiancée. Huo Jiling’s friends knew him well.
Huo Jiling’s friends wanted to meet Li Muyao, and Huo Jiling himself wanted to bring Li Muyao to meet his friends.
Huo Jiling learned from the most romantic employee that introducing his girlfriend to his Wechat Moments was also a way to give her a sense of security.
Li Muyao didn’t agree immediately. Instead, she asked Huo Jiling,”Are they all similar to Chen Tao? For example, personality, temper, and so on. And friends with high IQand low EQ? Then, do they not like me very much?”
It wasn’t that Li Muyao wanted to guess Huo Jiling’s friends, but she really liked Chen Tao’s behavior. Li Meimei and Mei Yuehua were also hated by Li Muyao.
Li Muyao was familiar with these three people, and they all appeared as Huo Jiling’s friends and acquaintances, which gave Li Muyao a very bad impression.
Li Muyao was a person who was afraid of trouble. If her friends were similar to Chen Tao, Li Muyao didn’t want to meet them at all, let alone get to know them.
Because Li Muyao felt that it was unnecessary.
“Of course not, Mooncake. Chen Tao was just surprised. It was true. Chen Tao had been quite good in the past. Although he wasn’t very motivated, his character was still acceptable.
However, he didn’t expect that he would really take Li Meimei, the goddess he had liked since he was young, as his girlfriend. His entire person had changed. No, it should be because after they got their marriage certificate, they became even more intimate.
Don’t worry, other friends are definitely not like this. Two of them are my best friends, and one of them got into a car accident with me in the United States. He’ll be back from abroad in a few days. Let’s meet him.”
Li Muyao wasn’t the kind of person who would knock over a boat of people with a single pole.
In the end, she gave Huo Jiling an answer talk about it then!”
Soon, they arrived at the Huo family mansion. This was Li Muyao’s second time here, so she was quite familiar with it.
When they arrived at the Huo Mansion, Old Mrs. Huo was lying on the bed with a doctor and a nurse by her side. Huo Jiling’s sister-in-law was not at home.
When Old Madam Huo saw Li Muyao and Huo Jiling come back together, a smile appeared on her pale face. She extended her wrinkled hand to Li Muyao and said, “Yaoyao, thank you for coming with Ling from Yangcheng to see an old woman like me. Seeing you and Ling getting along, I feel much more relaxed.
Ling, Yaoyao, don’t worry about me. I’m not seriously ill. I just have something growing in my throat. It was not safe to perform surgery in China, so he went abroad.
Actually! It was not a big deal. You just got off the plane, right? Go and rest first. Come back after you and Yaoyao have rested. I have something to tell you.”
Old Mrs. Huo spoke for such a long time without panting. Only then did Li Muyao and Huo Jiling believe that Old Mrs. Huo was not particularly serious. That was why she obediently went to her room to rest.
Li Muyao was still in the same guest room she stayed in the last time she came to the Huo Mansion, which was also opposite Huo Jiling’s room.
Huo Jiling put Li Muyao’s suitcase away and held her hand.”Mooncake, have a good rest. I’ll come over later to call you to see Grandma.”
“Alright.”
In fact, Li Muyao wanted to see Old Madam Huo alone, but after thinking about what Old Madam Huo said, she agreed to talk to her and Huo Jiling later.
Huo Jiling left Li Muyao’s room and went downstairs to Grandma’s room. He picked up Grandma’s medical record and started reading it carefully..
