Chapter 772: Flowers Bloom and Fall

Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay, I'll go later."

After she left, Ke Ning looked at Huo Yunting.

"Boss Huo, are you still going to continue with the plan to close the Haojia?"

Because Haojia is a branch of Su Corporation with relatively low profits, Huo Yunting is planning to close it down. This time he came here to inform the general manager of Haojia first.

"Um."

Huo Yunting turned and walked towards his hometown with no expression on his face.

Xiao Muzhen went to see Huo Yiyi first and stayed for a while before leaving.

After returning home, Xiao Muzhen called someone to apply for a visa for him, which he estimated would take about a week.

In the next few days, Xiao Muzhen went to the Xiao family every day to have dinner with Xiao Tuo and Xun Zi. The two of them were a little confused. After all, they had to tell her in advance if they wanted to see Xiao Muzhen, so why did he go home so frequently recently?

Finally, on the third night, Xun Zi couldn't help but ask Xiao Muzhen, "Zhenzhen, did something happen to you?"

Xiao Muzhen paused while picking up the food and looked up at her. "No, what's wrong?"

"You come back every day for dinner, and you ask me to go shopping with you and buy things for me. I always feel weird..."

"Aren't you happy that I'm back?"

Xun Zi nodded. "I'm happy, but you're acting so strangely. I feel like you're hiding something from us."

"Could it be that I suddenly become sensible and feel the need to spend some time with you?"

Xun Zi rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "We're not old yet. We don't need you to accompany us. Just go and do your own business. Are you sure you can hide it from us?"

"Well, no. Do you want me to swear?"

"No, that's enough. Don't come here anymore. I miss you so much when I can't see you. It's annoying to see you every day."

Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but curl his lips, lowered his eyes and said: "Okay, I understand."

After dinner, Xiao Muzhen sat with Xun Zi for a while and then left.

When walking out of the villa, Xun Zi's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Zhenzhen, no matter what you want to do or what difficulties you encounter, you can tell me. Your father, your brothers and I will always be there for you!"

Xiao Muzhen paused for a moment, turned around and looked at Xun Zi with a smile, "I know! Mom, it's too windy outside, don't send me off."

After that, she waved and turned to walk towards her car.

Xun Zi didn't return to the living room until her car disappeared from sight.

Seeing Xiao Tuo coming into the living room at some point and seemingly waiting for her, she walked over and sat down beside him.

"Brother Tuo, I always feel that...Zhenzhen has been acting strangely lately...Why don't you go check and see if she's encountered any difficulties recently?"

She knew Xiao Muzhen's character very well. When encountering problems, she always wanted to solve them by herself. If they didn't ask, they probably wouldn't know until the problem was solved.

But this time, she felt weird...

"I thought the same as you, but I just asked my secretary to check. Apart from the renovation of her studio, nothing else has happened recently. Maybe our daughter has really grown up and wants to spend time with us."

Xun Zi nodded, "Maybe..."

But there was always a trace of uneasiness in her heart that could not be erased. She hoped that she was just overthinking it.

Soon, it was the day for the Su family to hold a banquet.

Early in the morning, Xiao Muzhen was pulled out of bed by Chen Tian to do her hair.

She yawned while driving, her face full of dissatisfaction, "Miss Shen, the banquet is in the evening, can't you let me get some sleep?"

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow. "We need a whole morning just to do the styling, and then we need to put on makeup and so on. It will take us a whole day, right?"

"...Why don't we just draw a random one before we leave? We're going to a party, not a blind date."

Seeing that she had no sense of crisis at all, Shen Tian became anxious for her.

"Do you understand what the word 'Su family' means?! Tonight is Huo Yunting's return to the Su family for a family reunion banquet. From now on, he will be the legitimate heir of the Su family. Countless women will flock to Huo Yunting to have sex with him. If you don't dress up nicely, you, his ex-girlfriend, will be trampled into submission!"

After all, Shen Tian knew all too well the tricks women used against each other.

"Then let them say whatever they want. They have the final say. If I dress too perfectly, they might say I'm trying to rekindle my past relationship with Huo Yunting."

"That's better than them saying you're not worthy of Huo Yunting."

Xiao Muzhen: "..."

The two might seem equally good, and to her there is no difference.

Arriving at the famous private stylist's studio in Beijing, Shen Tian pushed Xiao Muzhen in front of the stylist as soon as she entered the door.

"We're going to a banquet tonight, so let's design a good look for her. It has to be something that will stun everyone."

The stylist nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Xiao, is your dress ready for the banquet tonight? I can design a look based on the dress."

"I'm ready, but I'll just make something simple. Comfort is the most important thing."

"Don't worry, I will make you the focus of the whole audience!"

Xiao Muzhen: "..."

Was the stylist listening to her?

Before she could speak, Shen Tian quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes! She's going to meet her ex-boyfriend tonight!"

"I understand!"

Before Xiao Muzhen could refuse, Shen Tian pushed her down on the chair.

"Zhenzhen, just obey me! Look, as a pregnant woman, I'm worried sick about you and Huo Yunting."

The stylist also spoke up: "Don't worry, Miss Xiao, I will make sure your ex-boyfriend can't walk the moment he sees you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen wanted to laugh. She really wanted to see Huo Yunting unable to walk.

Besides, her visa will be issued tomorrow. She doesn't know if she can come back safely from Antarctica this time, so just treat it as an indulgence before leaving, and the two of them say goodbye properly.

Thinking of this, she no longer refused and let the stylist do his best.

After seeing the dress Xiao Muzhen was going to wear tonight, the stylist quickly designed a hairstyle. After seeing it, Xiao Muzhen and Chen Tian were both very satisfied.

It took five hours to complete the hairstyle.

Chen Tian was bored waiting by the side, so she simply permed her hair into a disposable wavy curl.

Now that she is pregnant, she dare not dye her hair with chemical reagents for fear of affecting the fetus.

When she saw Xiao Muzhen's hairstyle, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"So beautiful! Zhenzhen, you must be the most beautiful one in the audience tonight!"

The hairstylist gave Xiao Muzhen highlights in the same color as her dress and gave her a princess cut, making her facial features look more delicate and petite.

The original curly hair was straightened, and the whole person looked gentle with a hint of capability.

Shen Tian couldn't even imagine how beautiful she would be after putting on makeup.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"You'll know when you feel the eyes directed at you tonight."
