Chapter 126: White Hair and Chicken Skin
Anger flashed in Xu Rou's eyes, "What's going on?!"
However, no matter how Xu Rou asked, Chi Xuan just cried and refused to speak.
"I'll call her!"
"don't want!"
Chi Xuan quickly grabbed her hand and spoke incoherently, "Mom, don't ask anymore. I still have to participate in the competition. Let's talk about it after the design competition is over. I don't want this to affect my competition."
"What on earth did she do to you?!"
Chi Xuan shook her head and said, "Give me some time. After the design competition is over, I will tell you everything."
Seeing her like this, Xu Rou's eyes were full of heartache, and she quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore. You should have a good rest."
Only after Chi Xuan fell asleep did Xu Rou and Chi Zhen leave the ward.
"Chi Muzhen is really going too far. On the first day of the design competition, Xuanxuan saw her working as a temporary worker. That night, I ran into her and scolded her. I guess she holds a grudge against Xuanxuan because of this, thinking that Xuanxuan was the one who was saying bad things about her behind her back, so she's deliberately trying to trip her up!"
Although Chi Zhen was also dissatisfied with Chi Muzhen, he did not jump to conclusions because he was concerned about the relationship between Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting.
"We haven't figured out what happened yet. Let's wait until Xuanxuan's design competition is over. Don't go looking for Chi Muzhen during this period. Otherwise, if you anger Huo Yunting and it affects the Chi Group, I won't let you go!"
"Do you think Huo Yunting will still care about her?!"
Chi Zhen was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?!"
Xu Rou sneered, "Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting are already divorced."
Chi Zhen's eyes were filled with shock, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Where did you hear that?"
"Chi Muzhen said it herself. Huo Yunting was also present at the time."
After a moment of silence, Chi Zhen frowned and said, "I'll investigate this matter thoroughly. If it's true, let Xuanxuan take good care of Huo Yunting! I have something else to do at the company, so you stay here with Xuanxuan. Call me if you need anything!"
Before Xu Rou could speak, Chi Zhen left in a hurry.
Xu Rou looked at his back and couldn't help muttering, "I've been going to the company so often lately. Is the company really that busy?!"
After leaving the hospital, Chi Zhen immediately called Chi Muzhen.
"Mu Zhen, are you and Huo Yunting divorced?"
Chi Muzhen didn't expect Chi Zhen to call to ask about this matter. He said in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"
"Come home this week. I have something to tell you."
"No time."
Chi Zhen's eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to lose his temper when he suddenly thought of something and softened his tone, "Mu Zhen, Dad knows you've suffered a lot in the past few years. Since you and Huo Yunting are divorced, you should move back home."
Chi Muzhen found it a little ridiculous. Her original room was converted from Chi Xuan's piano room. After she moved out, Xu Rou immediately restored her room to Chi Xuan's piano room.
The Chi family had never reserved a place for her, but now Chi Zhen asked her to move back. Where would she live? In the living room? Or at the gate of the Chi family villa?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"why are you laughing?"
Chi Muzhen said sarcastically, "I laugh at your naivety, Mr. Chi. I will never go back to the Chi family in this lifetime. It has never been my home."
Chi Zhen frowned, his tone a little cold, "Mu Zhen, don't be angry. It's not safe for you to live outside alone. Tell me your address and I will send a driver to pick you up on Saturday."
"I won't go back, and I hope you won't call me again."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen hung up the phone.
Chi Zhen was so angry that his face turned blue and he called his secretary directly.
"Go check where Chi Muzhen lives now!"
Elm Bay.
Chi Muzhen threw her phone aside and her face couldn't help but blush when she thought about what happened between her and Huo Yunting in the lounge today.
But soon, thinking that the person who drugged her had not been found yet, her face turned cold again.
She thought Chi Xuan was the most suspicious person, but she had no evidence.
However, all the surveillance at the scene was destroyed, and Chi Xuan alone should not be able to do such a thing.
Could it be a poisonous scorpion? !
Thinking of this, Chi Muzhen's expression became solemn. He opened WeChat and sent a message to the person with the black avatar.
[Help me find out where the scorpion has been active recently.]
[The scorpion has suddenly disappeared recently, so it's probably hard to find any clues. I'll try my best.]
【good. 】
After closing the dialog box, Chi Muzhen lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
After taking a shower and about to go to bed, Zhen Yan suddenly came to her.
"Zhenzhen, look at this, is this your white lotus sister?!"
Chi Muzhen glanced at the phone Zhen Yan handed over. A video was playing on it. It was a video that someone accidentally took of someone jumping off a building during a design competition.
Although they were a bit far away and the face was not clearly captured in the photo, Chi Muzhen recognized the person as Chi Xuan at a glance.
She frowned, "Yanyan, where did you get this video?"
"Someone posted this on Weibo this evening. I was just browsing casually, but I didn't expect to see this in the same city. It looked like Chi Xuan, so I came to find you."
Chi Muzhen nodded, "It's indeed her."
But why would Chi Xuan jump off the building?!
Want to use the design competition to make herself famous? She's not the type to use such means to attract attention.
"Could it be that she was eliminated from the semi-finals of the design competition and couldn't accept it, so she jumped off the building?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "I don't know."
After Zhen Yan left, Chi Muzhen immediately called Fan Rong.
"Mr. Fan, did you see the news about Chi Xuan jumping off the building?"
"I see, he didn't even choose a high place to jump from. The worst he'd get from the second floor would be a broken bone!"
Fan Rong's voice was filled with resentment. Because of Chi Xuan's suicide, people online were constantly questioning whether there was something fishy going on in the design competition.
He asked the public relations department to do the public relations for more than two hours, and released the news that Chi Xuan had entered the next round of the competition, and only then did the matter gradually calm down. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat dinner.
"Have you investigated the specific cause?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Fan Rong slowly said, "Miss Chi, this matter may be related to Mr. Huo."
Ever since Huo Yunting publicly announced his marriage to Chi Muzhen at the Chi family, everyone in Rongcheng's upper class knew that they were husband and wife.
However, Fan Rong also knew that the relationship between the two was not good, and it was because of Chi Xuan, so he did not want to mention this matter in front of Chi Xuan.
"What does it have to do with him?"
"Miss Chi jumped from the window of Mr. Huo's lounge... I heard she was unconscious when she hit the ground and kept tearing at her clothes. If it weren't for a few female designers blocking her way, who knows what would have happened..."
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and suddenly had a guess in her mind.
"I see. Thank you, Mr. Fan, for telling me this."
After ending the call, Chi Muzhen opened Huo Yunting's dialog box.
[Was it Chi Xuan who drugged me today? ]
It was a long time before Huo Yunting came back.
[Yes, I was in a meeting just now.]
[You also drugged her? ]
As soon as the message was sent, Huo Yunting called.
Chi Muzhen unconsciously tightened her grip on the phone, and after several seconds she swiped to answer the call.
"Hello?"
Huo Yunting's cold voice came, "I did drug her and found her a man. She didn't want to have a relationship with that man, so she jumped off the building. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Chi Muzhen stood there in a daze, and it was a long time before he heard his own voice.
"Don't you... like her? Why do you treat her like this?"
