Chapter 164: Substituting the Day
Chi Zhen's face turned pale in an instant, and he trembled as he said, "Boss Huo, I know you're very angry about what happened just now. How about this? I'll personally take my wife to the Huo family tomorrow to apologize. I beg you to forgive the Chi family this time."
Huo Yunting's eyes were devoid of warmth. "Boss Chi, if Madam Chi really did it carelessly, I can forgive her, but you should also know whether she did it on purpose or not."
Knowing that it was useless to ask Huo Yunting for help again, Chi Zhen turned his gaze to Chi Muzhen.
"Mu Zhen, your mother already knows she was wrong, can you..."
Before she could finish her words, Chi Muzhen coldly rejected her. "No, she has done many similar things before. I can tolerate her partiality because Chi Xuan is her daughter who she raised since she was a child. Her feelings for Chi Xuan are deeper than mine. But she was obviously hurting me on purpose today. I can't say the word forgiveness."
Chi Zhen's face suddenly turned gray. He knew that the Chi family was really finished.
Not long after Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting returned to the villa, Chi Xuan came to their door.
Knowing that Huo Yunting refused to see her, she stood guard at the door of the villa, as if she would not leave unless Huo Yunting refused to see her.
Chi Muzhen didn't intend to care. After dinner and taking a shower, she sat in the living room watching TV.
As for Huo Yunting, after knowing that Chi Xuan was waiting at the door, he went back to his study to work without saying anything.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, it suddenly started raining outside.
Chi Muzhen walked to the window and saw Chi Xuan standing in the rain, soaking wet. She was like a lotus flower that refused to bow its head in the wind and rain, extremely lovable.
I wonder if Huo Yunting will feel reluctant to see her after seeing this scene.
Back in the living room, Chi Muzhen sat on the sofa and continued watching TV, but she couldn't concentrate at all. She kept wondering whether Huo Yunting would go out.
After all, she had seen Huo Yunting's love for Chi Xuan. When she had just married Huo Yunting, she once accidentally dropped the photo of him and Chi Xuan on the bedside table onto the ground. He got very angry with her and went into a cold war with her for half a month before he spoke to her again.
Even though Huo Yunting has clearly expressed that he likes her, Chi Muzhen still thinks of the past from time to time, and every time she encounters something related to Chi Xuan, she will unconsciously think that Huo Yunting will choose Chi Xuan.
"What are you thinking about?"
Huo Yunting's low voice sounded in her ears, which startled Chi Muzhen and brought her back to her senses.
She turned to look at Huo Yunting, his dark eyes reflected her face, as if his eyes and heart could only hold her.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said slowly: "I didn't think anything."
Huo Yunting didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he put his arm around her waist and sat beside her. "What TV series is this? I want to watch it with you."
Chi Muzhen was silent for a while, but couldn't help but said, "Chi Xuan has been outside in the rain for more than half an hour, don't you want to go and see her?"
Hearing the tentative tone in her voice, Huo Yunting looked down at her and asked, "Do you want me to go out?"
Chi Muzhen's hands on the blanket unconsciously tightened, and she lowered her eyes and said, "I don't have any hopes. It's not up to me to decide whether you go or not."
Huo Yunting chuckled, "Who said you can't decide?"
Hearing the teasing in his tone, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but frowned and said unhappily: "After all, she is your former white moonlight. You should go out and have a look. Otherwise, if she gets sick, some people may feel distressed again."
Huo Yunting buried his head in the crook of her neck and whispered, "Why are you so jealous? If you don't want to see her, why don't you just call security and ask them to kick her out?"
"Don't you feel bad?"
"You alone are enough to make me feel distressed. I don't have the energy to feel distressed for others."
Chi Muzhen turned his gaze to the TV expressionlessly, but couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
The two watched the TV series for a while. Chi Muzhen felt a little sleepy and whispered, "I want to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yunting picked her up and walked quickly towards the bedroom.
Putting her on the bed, Huo Yunting lowered his head and kissed her for a long time before reluctantly letting her go. He covered her with a quilt and kissed her on the forehead.
"You go to sleep. I'm not sleepy yet. I'll go take care of some more work."
Chi Muzhen closed her eyes and said "hmm", then turned over and fell asleep. It was not known whether she heard it or not.
Huo Yunting chuckled, turned off the lights and left the second bedroom.
Returning to the study, Huo Yunting saw Chi Xuan still standing at the door of the villa and couldn't help but frown.
Chi Xuan had fallen off a mountain while trying to save him before, and she had been weak ever since she was rescued. She would definitely get sick after being caught in such heavy rain.
After standing outside the window for a long time, Huo Yunting finally took an umbrella and left the villa.
Outside the villa, Chi Xuan, who had been drenched in rain for a long time and was almost unable to hold on, saw the door of the villa open and a smile flashed in her eyes.
She knew that Huo Yunting would definitely not be willing to let her go.
Huo Yunting walked to a few steps away from Chi Xuan with an umbrella and handed her an umbrella with an indifferent expression.
"Even if you stand here until tomorrow morning, I won't let Chi go."
Chi Xuan's expression turned desperate. "Brother Yun Ting, can't you really let the Chi family go this time?"
Huo Yunting's eyes were devoid of any warmth as he spoke word by word, "I still owe you two conditions. You can use this incident to offset one of them."
Chi Xuan's face suddenly turned pale. She took a few steps back unconsciously and shook her head, "No..."
Huo Yunting curled his lips into a cold smile, "It seems that the Chi family is not that important to you."
Chi Xuan closed her eyes and said slowly, "I will find another way to save the Chi family."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Huo Yunting stared coldly at her back until her figure disappeared in the rain, then he turned around and went back to the villa.
Little did he know that this whole scene was seen by Chi Muzhen in the second bedroom.
He also said that he would not go to see Chi Xuan, but as soon as he returned to the bedroom, he couldn't wait to give Chi Xuan an umbrella.
fraud!
The next morning, when Chi Muzhen got up, Huo Yunting had already prepared breakfast.
She sat down at the table and said calmly, "I think Chi Xuan is no longer at the door. When did she leave?"
Huo Yunting spread strawberry jam on a slice of bread and handed it to him, saying indifferently, "I don't know."
Chi Muzhen didn't ask any more questions. He finished his breakfast quietly and went to work.
On the other side, the Chi family.
After knowing that Chi Xuan had failed to ask Huo Yunting for help, Chi Zhen's face turned pale with anger and he smashed a cup on the spot.
"I'm going to find Chi Muzhen."
Chi Xuan gritted her teeth and stopped him, saying, "Dad, it's no use going to my sister. She's already planning to completely cut off ties with us. She wishes we'd live a miserable life. How could she possibly be willing to help us?"
Chi Zhen was furious. Thinking of Chi Muzhen's attitude in the hospital yesterday, he said coldly, "If I had known earlier, I should have strangled her to death. There wouldn't be so many problems now!"
There was a glimmer of malice in Chi Xuan's eyes. She really wished that Chi Muzhen had died twenty-three years ago, so that Huo Yunting would still love her now.
Once this idea took root, it began to grow wildly and could no longer be suppressed.
"Dad, I'll find a way to deal with this matter, just don't worry about it."
Chi Xuan was about to go to work when the phone suddenly rang.
Seeing it was Cheng Shumin, she quickly answered, "Auntie Cheng, what's wrong?"
Half an hour later, the two met in the cafe downstairs from MY.
Seeing Chi Xuan, Cheng Shumin said straight to the point: "Xuan Xuan, you still like Yun Ting, right?"
Chi Xuan wondered why she asked that and nodded, "Well, I will never fall in love with anyone else in my life."
Cheng Shumin nodded and said slowly: "I thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision."
