Chapter 123: Taking the Lead
Chi Muzhen frowned, "Chi Xuan told you?"
Xu Rou sneered, "Don't worry about who told me this. Since you can do such a shameful thing, why are you afraid of what others say?!"
"Ms. Xu, I think I need to remind you that we have severed our relationship. Even if it is embarrassing, it is not yours."
"you!"
Xu Rouqi's face turned ashen. Even if she publicly severed ties with Chi Muzhen, if Chi Muzhen did something shameful, it would still be the Chi family that would be talked about behind her back.
"I'm warning you, quit that job immediately. If I find out you're working part-time again, I won't let you go!"
Chi Muzhen said in a mocking tone: "Whatever you want."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen hung up the phone, making Xu Rou very angry.
Her face was full of anger, and she almost threw her phone to the ground in anger.
Chi Xuan beside her hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, don't be angry, your sister will definitely understand your painstaking efforts in the future."
Xu Rou's expression was icy. "I don't need her to understand! I'll go to your competition in person tomorrow. If she still refuses to obey, I'll make her regret it!"
"Mom, this isn't very nice. After all, there are so many people here. Let's save some face for my sister."
Xu Rou took a deep breath and said slowly, "Xuanxuan, don't worry about this matter. Just prepare for the competition. Let's eat."
On the other side, Chi Muzhen put down her phone, changed her clothes, went downstairs and went out with Zhen Yan.
The restaurant that Zhen Yan ordered was also Tianyue Rongfu. When the two arrived at the private room, Liang Zixuan had already arrived.
After greeting each other, Zhen Yan was about to order food when Liang Zixuan said with a smile, "Miss Zhen, wait a moment. I have a friend coming over. Do you mind?"
Zhen Yan rolled his eyes silently in his heart. He had already made an appointment with someone, so what was the point in asking him if he was willing now?
Zhen Yan smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind."
Soon, the friend Liang Zixuan mentioned arrived.
As soon as Huo Yunting walked into the box, Zhen Yan's expression changed.
Liang Zixuan must have done it on purpose!
Knowing that he would bring Chi Muzhen along, he actually called Huo Yunting!
Thinking of this, Zhen Yan's face turned cold.
"Mr. Liang, what do you mean?"
Liang Zixuan still had a smile on his face, "Ms. Zhen, do you have any problem with my friend?"
Zhen Yan sneered, "You knew that Zhenzhen and Mr. Huo had an awkward relationship, yet you deliberately called Mr. Huo over. What were you thinking?!"
Liang Zixuan was about to speak when Huo Yunting's cold voice rang out.
"It seems that Miss Zhen is not very welcome to my arrival. In that case, I will not disturb you."
Zhen Yan had a cold face and said nothing, her eyes full of anger.
Liang Zixuan, who was standing by, also stood up and said, "I'll be leaving first, Miss Zhen. This meal will be considered your treat."
"etc!"
Chi Muzhen pulled Zhen Yan's sleeve and whispered, "Yan Yan, it's okay, don't be so sensitive."
Zhen Yan turned to look at Chi Muzhen, frowned and said, "Zhenzhen, you don't have to put yourself in a difficult position for me."
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong with this? I don't mind who comes."
Seeing that there was no sign of lying in her eyes, Zhen Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
Chi Muzhen took the initiative to give her a way out, and Liang Zixuan also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law... Miss Chi is so generous."
Zhen Yan rolled her eyes at him and handed him the menu, "Mr. Liang, please order."
While they were having dinner, only Zhen Yan and Liang Zixuan spoke. Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen were silent to each other, not even looking at each other, treating each other as invisible.
Liang Zixuan glanced at Huo Yunting out of the corner of his eye and tried to hold back his laughter.
He clearly agreed to come immediately after hearing that Chi Muzhen would be coming. Now that she is right in front of him, he pretends not to care. He is really stubborn.
After dinner, Zhen Yan went to pay the bill. Liang Zixuan went with her, while Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting walked behind.
After walking in silence all the way to the door, Huo Yunting finally spoke.
"Don't take what I said this afternoon to heart. I won't measure you by my own standards anymore."
He thought about it carefully and realized that even if Chi Muzhen never worked for the rest of her life, he could still support her. Even if she hadn't even graduated from high school, no one would dare to say anything in front of them.
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, but then he said calmly: "Mr. Huo, I don't take it to heart."
As soon as he finished speaking, an angry voice sounded beside him.
"Chi Muzhen, why are you here?!"
Chi Muzhen turned around and saw Xu Rou and Chi Xuan standing not far away. Both of them had surprise in their eyes, but there was also anger in Xu Rou's eyes.
There are many green plants in Tianyuerong Mansion. When Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting were talking, they were walking to the corner. In addition, Chi Muzhen was a few steps behind Huo Yunting, so Huo Yunting's figure was completely blocked by the green plants, and Xu Rou and Chi Xuan did not notice him.
Chi Muzhen looked at the two of them indifferently, "I don't think I need to explain to Ms. Xu."
Xu Rou's face flushed with anger. Chi Xuan quickly supported her and looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "Sister, stop talking and making Mom angry. I saw you working as a temporary worker at the design competition this morning. You can't possibly have the money to spend here. Are you working as a waitress here?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Rou became even angrier and shouted angrily, "I'm warning you, quit these messy jobs immediately, otherwise, not only me, but also the Chi family will not let you go!"
Chi Muzhen glanced at Chi Xuan coldly. She really spared no effort to belittle herself.
She was about to speak when Huo Yunting suddenly walked up to her and said in a cold voice, "I'd like to see how the Chi family will not let my wife go!"
Xu Rou and Chi Xuan didn't expect Huo Yunting to be there, and their faces turned pale in an instant.
Chi Xuan's face was full of grievance. She looked at Huo Yunting and said, "Brother Yunting, I just invited you to dinner. Didn't you say you had something to do?"
I didn't expect that I was actually accompanying that bitch Chi Muzhen!
"Do I need to report my whereabouts to you one by one?"
Huo Yunting's cold and indifferent attitude made Chi Xuan's face even paler.
There was a flash of surprise in Chi Muzhen's eyes. Are Huo Yunting and Chi Xuan having a conflict?
"Mr. Huo, I hope you can correct me. I am no longer your wife. Please don't interfere in my affairs from now on."
As soon as the words fell, Chi Xuan and Xu Rou both looked at Chi Muzhen suddenly.
She and Huo Yunting have already divorced? !
But since they're divorced, why does Huo Yunting still protect her? !
Huo Yunting's face suddenly turned as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, "Chi Muzhen, shut up!"
Chi Muzhen looked indifferent, and said word by word: "Mr. Huo, I agree to keep it a secret from Grandma with you, but there is no need to hide this from the Chi family and the woman you like."
Moreover, during this period, Huo Yunting took Chi Xuan to various public places, and everyone had tacitly accepted that they were a couple, while she was privately described as a mistress who stole his love.
If this matter is not clarified, everyone will think that she is the one who is clinging to Huo Yunting and refusing to divorce.
Huo Yunting had a cold face and didn't say anything, with a cold aura lingering around him.
"I won't bother you any more."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Huo Yunting suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Huo Yunting dragged her directly into the empty box next to him, slammed the door shut, and pushed her against it.
"Chi Muzhen, are you so anxious to cut off ties with me?!"
