Chapter 238: A Sneak

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar.

Although Yang Yi is not a great beauty, she is also a pretty girl from a small family, and at least she is not ugly.

I didn't expect Huo Yunting to not give her any face at all and call Yang Yi ugly in front of everyone.

After a moment of silence, an angry female voice erupted from the crowd.

"Huo Yunting, you harassed me and called me ugly at the same time. You are such a hypocrite!"

Suddenly everyone's eyes were focused on the person who was speaking. Yang Yi had an angry look on his face. While speaking, he walked quickly towards Huo Yunting, as if he wanted justice.

However, when she met Huo Yunting's cold gaze, her steps paused unconsciously, and a sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

Although Huo Yunting is no longer the president of Huo Group, the cold aura around him still makes people unconsciously afraid.

Thinking of what Huo Tianyi said to him when he called him during the day, Yang Yi took a deep breath and walked quickly to the two of them.

"You must apologize to me publicly today, otherwise I will go to court and formally sue you!"

Seeing her face full of anger, her hands hanging at her sides clenched into fists, and her body trembling slightly, everyone unconsciously stood on her side and began to quietly denounce Huo Yunting.

Hearing those voices scolding Huo Yunting, Yang Yi finally felt a little more confident. After all, Huo Yunting had no evidence to prove that he had not done anything to her. Whether he apologized or not, he would be hated and despised!

Chi Muzhen frowned, and without waiting for Huo Yunting to speak, she walked up to Yang Yi and looked at him coldly.

"Ms. Yang, I've never met someone as ignorant as you."

Yang Yi looked at her coldly, hatred in his eyes. She had not forgotten that her father was driven out of Rongcheng, and Chi Muzhen was one of the instigators!

"Chi Muzhen, what do you mean?"

Chi Muzhen raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "What I mean is... you don't even know that you are ugly, how pitiful."

"you!"

Yang Yi gritted his teeth and stepped forward to slap Chi Muzhen.

Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold, and just as he was about to step forward, he saw Chi Muzhen grab Yang Yi's wrist.

"Ah! It hurts, let me go!"

Yang Yi struggled hard, trying to break free from Chi Muzhen's hand.

Chi Muzhen chuckled and let go of her when she was struggling the most. Yang Yi's body instantly lost balance and fell directly to the ground, her face twisted in pain.

"Chi Muzhen! You bitch, I won't let you go!"

Yang Yi struggled to get up and stared at Chi Muzhen, as if he would pounce on her at any time.

The people around didn't expect Chi Muzhen to be so strong, and couldn't help but whisper about it, but most of them were skeptical about Chi Muzhen.

"Tsk tsk, if Huo Yunting really didn't do anything to Yang Yi, how could Yang Yi dare to talk about suing? I guess Yang Yi must have some evidence in his hand."

"I used to think Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen being together was a waste, but now I realize they're truly a blessing to others. A scumbag who sexually harasses women and a country girl who's lived in the countryside for over a decade—they're a perfect match! They'd better be locked away forever!"

"Yang Yi is so unlucky! Not only was he harassed, but the other party refused to admit it! The problem is that there was a woman who stood up for him, but he hid behind her. What a coward!"

Hearing the discussions of the people around him, Yang Yi's anger gradually subsided, and he looked at Chi Muzhen with a look full of ridicule and contempt.

"Chi Muzhen, are you sure you want to defend a man who sexually harasses other women?"

Chi Muzhen raised her eyebrows and smiled, then spoke word by word, "You said Huo Yunting harassed you. Do you have any evidence? If you have evidence, go and sue. If you don't have evidence, stop spouting nonsense here!"

Yang Yi was so angry that his face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have already contacted a lawyer today. You just wait for the court summons!"

"Okay, I'll wait."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Bai's unhappy voice rang out.

"Yiyi, come back! What are you doing making such a fuss about? Don't lower your status!"

Yang Yi took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "Grandpa, you're right. I was also confused by anger just now."

Mr. Bai looked up at Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting, his tone somewhat cold, "Since Second Young Master Huo doesn't admit to harassing me and having sex with my granddaughter, please leave here. People like Second Young Master Huo are not welcome at my birthday party!"

Huo Yunting looked indifferent and said, "If you don't welcome me, you shouldn't have sent me an invitation in the first place."

Mr. Bai's expression froze for a moment, then he said coldly, "The servant must have forgotten that Mr. Huo is no longer the president of the Huo Group, so he sent it by mistake. There won't be such a mistake again in the future."

These words were humiliating, clearly meaning that Huo Yunting was no longer the president of the Huo Group and was not qualified to attend the birthday party hosted by the Bai family.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Muzhen sneered.

"I finally understand what the saying 'a tiger in trouble is bullied by a dog' means!"

Mr. Bai was furious at this and stared at Chi Muzhen with cold eyes, "Miss Chi, since you are willing to degenerate and collude with Young Master Huo, please leave as well. You are not welcome here!"

Chi Muzhen didn't say anything else and pulled Huo Yunting away.

Looking at the backs of the two men, Old Master Bai snorted coldly. A former president of the Huo Group who was driven out, and the owner of a small, shabby clothing company, his Bai family did not need to please them!

However, the next second, Liang Zixuan suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Yun Ting and I are good friends. It seems that in Mr. Bai's eyes, I am also in cahoots with him. I am sure he doesn't welcome me. In that case, I will leave too."

Mr. Bai's expression changed, but before he could say anything, Jin Yi and Qi Yunzhe beside him also left with Liang Zixuan.

He was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

Did he offend the Liang family, the Qi family, and the Jin family as well?

Thinking of this, his face turned pale and blue. Just as he was about to ask the servants to invite them back, a low voice rang out.

"Mr. Bai, Yun Ting is my cousin. I'm very sad that he did this. If possible, I hope Mr. Bai can help me persuade Miss Yang to show some leniency and let Yun Ting go."

Hearing this, Mr. Bai looked at Huo Tianyi, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

However, Huo Tianyi's words saved the face of the Bai family, and with just a few words, the few people who had just left suddenly became the unreasonable party. Mr. Bai's expression finally looked a little better.

"Since Mr. Huo said so, I will find a chance to talk to Yi Yi, but it also depends on Mr. Huo's attitude. If Mr. Huo always has this attitude, this matter will not be let go!"

Huo Tianyi smiled and said, "That's what I should do."

The banquet hall resumed its previous lively atmosphere, with many people coming to Huo Tianyi to discuss cooperation.

Now that he is the president of Huo Corporation, naturally people keep trying to curry favor with him.

Huo Tianyi had a smile on his face and spoke with measured steps, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

After the banquet, many people praised Huo Tianyi and said that he was much more approachable than Huo Yunting.

Huo Tianyi was very proud in his heart. He believed that it would not be long before everyone would slowly forget that Huo Yunting was once the president of Huo Group. In the future, he would be the business emperor of Rongcheng!
