Chapter 175: The Savior
Chi Xuan turned around in shock and saw Huo Yunting walking straight towards Chi Muzhen, with a guilty look in her eyes.
She had just seen Huo Yunting and Chi Zhen go to the study to discuss business, so she dared to cause trouble for Chi Muzhen. She didn't expect Huo Yunting to come out so soon.
Thinking of this, she felt a surge of fear in her heart. Would Huo Yunting come to settle the score with her for Chi Muzhen?
However, Huo Yunting didn't even look at her and walked straight to Chi Muzhen.
"Are you okay?"
Chi Muzhen shook her head calmly, "It's okay, don't worry about it, I can handle it myself."
"Well, I'm right here. Let's see who dares to touch you."
Seeing how gentle Huo Yunting was when speaking to Chi Muzhen, everyone couldn't believe their eyes. Wasn't it said before that Huo Yunting liked Chi Xuan?!
Moreover, what Chi Muzhen said just now contained too much information!
The Chi family retrieved Chi Muzhen in order to donate bone marrow to Chi Xuan, but they did not disclose this fact to anyone, so basically no one knew that Chi Muzhen had donated bone marrow to Chi Xuan.
"If Chi Muzhen really donated bone marrow to Chi Xuan, then it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is Chi Xuan's savior, right?"
"Haha, I finally understand. The Chi family is so shameless! They lost their daughter for over a decade and never looked for her. They were planning to look for her just to have her match Chi Xuan. They even treated her differently afterwards. They didn't even consider Chi Muzhen a child of the Chi family. If I were Chi Muzhen, I'd be furious!"
"Chi Xuan just now had the nerve to say that Chi Muzhen was competing with her for her parents' affection. She has monopolized their affection for so many years, and Chi Muzhen even donated bone marrow to her. Isn't it her right to demand some of her parents' affection?!"
…
The chattering of the crowd and the contemptuous looks they gave her almost drowned Chi Xuan.
A huge sense of shame rose from her heart, making her want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into immediately.
Chi Muzhen, this bitch, I didn’t expect that she would dare to say this out loud!
Chi Muzhen looked at Chi Xuan with an indifferent expression, and a hint of sneer flashed in his eyes.
Now that she had brought it up, she wasn't going to go like this today.
"More than 20 years ago, I wasn't lost by the Chi family's servants. Instead, I was thrown at the door of the welfare home by Mr. Chi and Ms. Xu. Their purpose in finding me was to match me with Chi Xuan.
If I didn't look 70% similar to Chi Xuan, maybe they wouldn't have claimed to be my parents, but would have forced me to donate bone marrow to Chi Xuan and then sent me away!"
As the words fell, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that the Chi family could do such a thing.
Things had escalated to this point, and Chi Zhen and Xu Rou could no longer ignore it.
As soon as Chi Zhen received the news, he called Xu Rou and hurried over, his face full of anger.
Xu Rou was so angry that she almost lost her mind. She rushed forward to hit Chi Muzhen, but was scared away by Huo Yunting's cold gaze.
"Mrs. Chi, if you dare to touch a hair on her head, the Chi family will go bankrupt before the sun rises tomorrow."
Huo Yunting's voice was not loud, but full of threats.
Xu Rou didn't dare to move forward, but she still stared at Chi Muzhen with a murderous look.
"Chi Muzhen, this is our family matter, and you actually brought it up in front of the guests? Aren't you embarrassed enough?!"
Chi Muzhen looked at her calmly, with coldness in his eyes.
If Huo Yunting had not been there, she believed Xu Rou would have rushed up and attacked her.
"Ms. Xu, you even let Chi Xuan spread the rumor that I threatened you to only make the desserts I like. What else can I not say? It's you and Chi Xuan who have brought shame to the Chi family, not me."
"you!"
Xu Rou gritted her teeth in anger, but Chi Zhen beside her came to his senses and looked at Xu Rou with anger.
"What dessert?! Explain it to me!"
Xu Rou knew at this time that if she told the truth, she would be finished, so she simply covered her face and started crying.
"I don't know what she's talking about. I called her that day and asked her to come back for her birthday, and she actually told me that if I didn't make her favorite food, she wouldn't come back! I asked the kitchen to make her favorite food, isn't that enough? I don't know what to do!"
Chi Muzhen chuckled, "Ms. Xu, did I ever threaten you from the beginning to the end, telling you not to cook what Chi Xuan likes to eat?"
Xu Rou paused in her crying, then looked at Chi Muzhen coldly and said, "I can't remember clearly, but when you said you didn't want to eat chocolate cake, didn't that mean you didn't want the kitchen to make what Xuanxuan likes?!"
"You're really good at turning the tables. If my phone didn't have a call recording function, I might have been wronged by you today. After all, in the eyes of others, no mother would scheme against her own daughter, right?"
As Chi Muzhen finished speaking, Xu Rou's face became extremely ugly.
However, Chi Muzhen didn't give her any time to react at all. He took out his mobile phone and opened a recording.
After listening to the recording, the people around had different expressions. The only thing they had in common was that they looked at Xu Rou and Chi Xuan with disgust and disdain.
Seeing Xu Rou's defeated face, Chi Muzhen walked up to her and said word by word, "I believe everyone can understand what I just said. On the phone, I just emphasized to you that I hope the kitchen can make the vanilla cake that I like, but I didn't specifically threaten you to not make what Chi Xuan likes."
"Besides, Chi Xuan is your beloved child since she was little. It's impossible for you not to cook her favorite food. You're deliberately not cooking it just to put on a show in front of the guests, making them think that I've always been competing with Chi Xuan for their favor and making them dislike me."
Xu Rou's lips trembled, her eyes filled with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about?! There's no such thing!"
The expression on Chi Muzhen's face suddenly changed from calm to disappointment. "Ms. Xu, if you hate me so much, why did you ask me to come back for your birthday? If you just want me to be a supporting role next to Chi Xuan, you don't have to do this anymore. I'm no longer the sixteen-year-old girl who longs for family affection. Whether my family celebrates my birthday or not, this day will pass. Why bother plotting against me on this day?"
Sensing the contemptuous looks coming from all directions, Xu Rou felt that her face had been completely humiliated by Chi Muzhen, and her rationality suddenly broke like a string stretched to the extreme.
"Because I really hate you and I wish you would die!"
Chi Zhen, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong and immediately roared angrily.
"Xu Rou, shut up!"
However, it was too late.
Xu Rou couldn't hear anything at this moment. She was too angry and had lost her mind. She just wanted to curse Chi Muzhen with the most vicious words.
"Every time I see you, I can't help but feel disgusted. You and Xuanxuan standing together, there's a world of difference. Xuanxuan is good in everything, but what about you? Aside from having a face similar to hers, you can't compare to Xuanxuan in any other way!"
"You are disobedient and can't do anything right. You are simply a stain on my life!"
"I should have strangled a scoundrel like you the moment you were born! I was soft-hearted back then, and now I've let you turn the Chi family upside down. Why don't you just die..."
Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly slapped in the face by Chi Zhen.
“Bang!”
Suddenly the whole living room became quiet!
