Chapter 198 Huo Yanting: Encirclement and Suppression of the Mu Family

After listening to what his wife and daughters-in-law told him about what happened at the Li family banquet today, Mr. Mu narrowed his eyes and felt a surge of shock in his heart.

Looking at his daughter who was still cursing Xizhi angrily, his old face was full of anger. He stood up, walked in front of Mu Wanrou, and asked in a deep voice:

"You attacked that woman of Yan Ting again?"

Mu Wanrou: "I just taught her a lesson, but that bitch actually slapped me twice, and that old woman from the Zhou family actually...ah..."

“Bang!”

Old Master Mu slapped Mu Wanrou hard on the face.

"If you want to die, don't bring trouble to the Mu family. Mo Chen's beating is a warning, can't you see it clearly? Bastard!"

"Dad! You hit me?"

Mu Wanrou screamed and questioned Old Man Mu like a madman.

Mu Bai's face was solemn.

"Little sister, I wish this slap from Dad could solve the problem. I'm afraid it won't be that simple. My Mu family will suffer a heavy blow because of this incident!"

He looked at his angry old father and reminded him, "Shouldn't we contact the Zhou family first? If it wasn't someone sent by the Zhou family, but Yan Ting, things would be much easier."

It's almost two o'clock in the morning, and it wouldn't be nice to disturb the Zhou family rashly, but the situation is urgent.

Mr. Mu called the Zhou family.

The Zhou family's housekeeper refused.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, our Second Young Master has instructed that no one should disturb our old man and old lady's rest or affect their sleep. If you have anything, please call again tomorrow morning."

He wanted to speak again, but the Zhou family's housekeeper had already hung up the phone.

Mr. Mu threw the phone away angrily.

The other men in the Mu family were also busy.

After finally using all my connections, I realized that the bodyguards outside were most likely not from the Zhou family.

That should be Huo Yanting.

"It was him? How dare that bastard?"

Mu Wanrou covered her face and slammed the table angrily.

"Shut up, Mu Wanrou, do you want to be expelled from the Mu family? Huo Yanting is a wolf cub. You can't be nice to him, so just ignore him. You know he is the leader of the pack, but you still provoke him. One warning is not enough of a lesson.

You are really courting death, you are courting death, and you are also dragging down the entire Mu family..."

"Old man, there are helicopters outside, several of them!"

The huge propeller made a clattering sound, which seemed even more eerie and terrifying in the dark and cold night.

"Grandpa, the signal at home is cut off and I can't make calls."

Mu Bai: "I can't access the internet either."

Mr. Mu: "..."

After a long while, Mr. Mu wearily uttered two words in despair: "It's over!"

At five o'clock in the morning, Xizhi wanted to go to the bathroom. When she opened her eyes, she saw the man standing by the bed, looking at her with his head down.

Her head was hazy from sleep, and she thought she was dreaming. She squinted her eyes and pouted at the man:

"Hurry up and give me a kiss, I have to go to the bathroom."

Huo Yanting obediently kissed her raised lips.

Xizhi climbed out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

When she came back from the bathroom, she realized that the person sitting on the bed was the real Huo Yanting and it was not a dream.

She turned around and ran back to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

After a while, she ran back and threw herself into the man's arms.

"When did you arrive? I almost fell asleep waiting for you."

Huo Yanting held her waist and gently stroked the palm marks on her face that were no longer visible.

He whispered, "Does it still hurt?"

"Um?"

Xizhi looked at the man hazily, and felt that there was a deep and unresolved pain in his eyes.

Xizhi placed her fingers between his eyebrows and slowly pushed them outwards, as if trying to smooth out her frown.

"sorry!"

Xizhi tilted her head and looked at him: "Boss Huo, what's wrong with you?"

She was stunned by the word "I'm sorry". His hand was still stroking her face. When she saw the guilt and pain in his eyes, Xizhi's confused head suddenly became clear.

I understood why he said sorry, and I also understood what he meant when he asked her if it hurt.

Holding his hand and pressing it against her face, Xizhi complained aggrievedly.

“It was so painful.”

Huo Yanting's brows furrowed even tighter, and the pain in his eyes almost overflowed.

"So I fought back. Even though she is your mother, I didn't want to be wronged for no reason. Boss Huo, if I hadn't slapped her back, I would have been furious.

It felt much better after I gave it back, because she still scolded you and I hit her again.

Huo Yanting, if you are angry with me, I can understand. After all, she is your mother. You don't need to tell me you're sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about. You were not the one who hit me. "

After Xizhi finished speaking, she lowered her head, and the hand that was on the man's brow also dropped.

She wasn't sure if he would mind after she had hit his biological mother.

Huo Yanting suddenly lifted her chin with his finger and made her look at him.

"Zhizhi, how could I be angry with you? She just gave birth to me! She never fulfilled her motherly responsibilities to me for a single day. What kind of mother is she? I don't care about her. Zhizhi, in the whole world, I only care about you.

I won't allow you to suffer any injustice, let alone any harm.

It was because I was too soft on her that you were beaten innocently. Zhibao, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."

Xizhi: "...How can this be your fault, Huo Yanting, it's enough that you care about me. I'm not a little white flower that grew up in a greenhouse, I also have the ability to protect myself.

Didn't I fight back? It was enough to let her know I wasn't someone to be bullied. And my godmother also let me vent my anger. She was so old, and it was embarrassing to lose face in front of so many people.

The fact that I fought back and she apologized to me is enough. Don't be angry or feel sorry."

"That's not enough, Zhizhi. People like her won't recognize their mistakes unless they're hurt enough. Even if they do recognize them, they won't change. So, she can no longer be so arrogant.

I will make everyone pay a price they never imagined for this slap on your face."

Xizhi looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was so handsome that her throat rolled and she couldn't help but want to kiss him.

"Huo Yanting, I want you."

Huo Yanting looked at her pink lips, and the words that came out of her lips opened and closed, entering his ears, and the anger he felt towards Mu Wanrou turned into a soft flame. He looked at Xi Zhi with burning eyes.

"Huo Yanting, I really, really want you now..."
