Wen Li was really surprised when he heard Michelle Yim say she wanted a divorce.
She opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say, so she chose to say nothing.
Although Michelle Yim never talked much about her and Huo Mingqi's love history, Wen Li was able to piece it together from the bits and pieces that Huo Yuanchen occasionally revealed.
It is nothing more than the eldest daughter of a wealthy family obeying her family's arrangements and marrying a well-matched partner in order to gain business cooperation between the two families.
The eldest daughter's temperament was made weaker by her family, probably because she was trained as a tool for business alliances and marriages since she was young. She was not valued very much in the family and was a bit cowardly and submissive.
After marriage, the two lived with mutual respect and had children step by step. Until the husband took over the family business completely, he kept his first love outside and openly went out together without considering his wife's feelings at all.
The Qi family was probably in decline, and with the intense power struggle within the family, no one was willing to stand up for Michelle Yim. She once tried to win back her husband's heart, but it backfired. The harder she tried, the more she pushed her husband to the side of the mistress.
In the end, they were so disheartened that the three of them reached a delicate balance and just got by with their lives.
Wen Li recalled that when she was a neighbor of the Huo family, although Michelle Yim was gentle, her eyes always carried a sadness that she could not understand at the time. She was far less radiant than Michelle Yim now.
She couldn't help but wonder if Michelle Yim had asked Huo Mingqi for a divorce ten years ago, she wondered if he would agree.
But this was just her instant guess. As a junior, she just told Michelle Yim that if she was needed, she would definitely help.
Instead, Maggie Cheung asked her, "I heard your voice sound strange today, are you sick?"
Wen Li nodded, "It's just a minor cold. I've already had an injection . It will be fine in a few days."
Qi Meizhen frowned, "Where's Yuanchen? You were sick, why didn't he go to take care of you? I heard that he has been taking care of Anwen in the hospital recently. Does he also want to learn from his father?"
Wen Li said hurriedly, "He came to see me yesterday. I asked him to go to work today. It's almost the end of the semester and there are a lot of things to do. He also needs to be evaluated for his professional title soon, so it's not good for him to keep asking for leave."
Michelle Yim was still not satisfied. After she sent Wen Li away, she closed the cake shop and went to the hospital where An Wen was hospitalized.
What she didn't expect was that she ran into Huo Mingqi in An Wen's ward.
At that time, An Wen was sitting quietly on the hospital bed. She looked very pale and very thin. She looked very well-behaved. When she spoke to Huo Mingqi, her face was full of respect and admiration.
An Wen said with red eyes, "Uncle Huo, I am so honored that you can come to visit me. I know that I am benefiting from my sister. Don't worry, I will always remember your help to our family. When I finish my studies, I will work for you wholeheartedly like my sister did."
Huo Mingqi said to her in a friendly manner, "This hospital is also invested by our Huo Group. I just asked about it, and Yuanchen has already told them to take good care of you. Just focus on recuperating and don't worry too much."
An Wen smiled strongly and optimistically, and said, "I understand. Thank you, Uncle Huo. I must get better soon so as not to let you and Brother Yuanchen down for taking care of me."
She paused, as if she had thought of something, her eyes became redder, and she said aggrievedly, "It's just that my mother..."
Huo Mingqi said, "Your sister also told me about your mother's situation. She can't come back and is very anxious abroad. Your mother has fallen into someone's trap. Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this matter if I can."
An Wen said with tears in her eyes, "My mother is a housewife who knows nothing. My sister and I both left home, and she stayed alone in her hometown. With nothing to do, she opened a supermarket to kill time. The financial and cashier were hired by people. When the people under her did something bad, she was kept in the dark. How come she ended up being the one who broke the law?"
Huo Mingqi comforted her, "I'll have someone check it out."
What he meant by "investigation" also meant to settle the trouble.
An Wen was happy and wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw a corner of a lady's coat by the door.
She looked towards Qi Meizhen timidly and called out, "Aunt Qi."
Upon hearing this, Huo Mingqi also turned his head to look.
Maggie Cheung walked in, looked at An Wen, and smiled in an ambiguous way, "I'm here to visit the patient, but you don't seem to welcome me very much?"
An Wen quickly shook her head, "No, I welcome you. I just...just...didn't expect you to come."
Michelle Yim smiled, "You weren't surprised that my husband came to see you, but you didn't expect me to come. It seems that you are more familiar with my husband. But it's also true that every time you come to our house, you don't pay much attention to me. You always try to please Zhang Li. It's a pity that Zhang Li is in jail. You have been fawning on her for so many years in vain."
An Wen said with tears in her eyes, "Aunt Qi, you misunderstood me. I have always respected you in my heart. I, I am just not good at expressing myself."
Maggie Cheung said "Oh" in a rather sarcastic tone, "Then you are really not good at expressing yourself. My family has supported you for more than ten years, but as the hostess, I don't see any respect from you at all."
An Wen looked at Huo Mingqi for help, "Uncle Huo, it's not like that. I am very grateful that you supported me."
Huo Mingqi also frowned and looked at Qi Meizhen, "You came to see me? Who did you ask about my schedule?"
Michelle Yim sneered and said, "I don't have time to ask about your schedule. I just came to see the poor students sponsored by our family."
She looked around the ward and said in a cold tone, "This seems to be a high-end single room in this hospital. This is the first time I have seen a poor student who is sponsored by others and can afford such an expensive ward. With this level of spending, her name doesn't need to appear on this year's sponsorship list."
An Wen hurriedly explained, "Brother Yuanchen helped me with the ward..."
Michelle Yim glared at her and said, "I don't remember any of my relatives with the last name An. The Huo family sponsors at least 800 poor students every year, if not 1,000. You and your sister are just one of them. What qualifications do you have to call my son brother?"
An Wen covered her face and cried breathlessly.
Huo Mingqi scolded Qi Meizhen with a cold face, "What's wrong with you today? Why did you go to the hospital and act crazy for no reason? Although An Wen and An Ran are funded by the Huo family, An Ran has done a very good job in the Huo Group in recent years. She manages the overseas foundation very well. Just based on this point, you shouldn't say that about An Wen."
Michelle Chik said expressionlessly, "One thing is one thing. An Ran is paid by the Huo family, so it is her duty to help the Huo family. I just can't stand the two sisters' changing ways to seduce my son, and I can't stand An Wen always provoking quarrels between Yuan Chen and Wen Li."
Huo Mingqi said, "After all, you were instigated by Wen Li. Did she take advantage of you and Yuan Chen's support and not take me seriously?"
