Chapter 176 Ugly
Xu Rou covered her aching face, finally calmed down, and realized what she had just said.
Her blank gaze fell on the guests, and seeing the disgust and contempt on their faces, her whole body trembled, her vision went dark, and she almost fainted.
Chi Xuan, who noticed something was wrong, quickly supported her and said, "Mom, are you okay?!"
Chi Zhen was still angry and said angrily: "Leave her alone!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Chi Muzhen with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Mu Zhen, what your mother said just now was just angry words, don't take it to heart."
There was no warmth in Chi Muzhen's eyes. Whether it was just an angry remark or a sincere one, they both knew it.
Besides, the relationship has been completely torn apart, so there is no need to sugarcoat it.
She looked up at Chi Zhen and said word by word: "I believe everyone present heard clearly what Ms. Xu said just now. Since Ms. Xu hates me so much, I think we don't need to interact with each other in the future.
As for Ms. Xu's kindness in giving birth to me, I will repay her with my bone marrow donation to Chi Xuan. From now on, I will have no further relationship with the Chi family."
Seeing Chi Muzhen was about to leave after she finished speaking, Chi Zhen hurriedly stopped her.
"Mu Zhen, blood ties cannot be severed no matter what. Your mother was so angry that she lost her mind just now. When she wakes up, I will ask her to apologize to you."
Chi Muzhen's expression was cold and her eyes were full of determination. "No need. I don't think Ms. Xu wants to apologize to me, and... Mr. Chi, I took the initiative to sever ties with the Chi family. You should be happy, right?"
Chi Zhen was stunned for a moment, feeling a little flustered. Could it be that Chi Muzhen knew what the Feng Shui master said more than ten years ago?
Although he was afraid that Chi Muzhen would harm the Chi family if she stayed, she was now with Huo Yunting. If he had a good relationship with her, Huo Yunting might give some projects directly to the Chi family for her sake.
He was unwilling to break off his relationship with Chi Muzhen now.
"Mu Zhen, since you've made up your mind to leave, I can't stop you. But what Dad wants to say is that the Chi family will always be your home. You can come back anytime you want."
Chi Muzhen smiled and left without looking back, and Huo Yunting followed suit.
As soon as the two left, the living room fell into silence. Chi Zhen then said a few polite words to liven up the atmosphere, and called Chi Xuan and Xu Rou to go back to the study with him.
As soon as the study door closed, Chi Zhen slapped Xu Rou with his backhand. The force was so great that Xu Rou lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"You piece of crap! I told you to call Chi Muzhen back for dinner, and that's what you did?! Did you know that Chi Corporation is in talks with Huo Corporation about a big project? If they can't get this project, Chi Corporation's funds will start to become tight again!"
Xu Rou sat on the ground and laughed like a madman.
"Haha...you only know the Chi family forever. In your eyes, the Chi family is more important than anyone else. Chi Zhen, I really regret marrying you!"
Seeing her half-crying, half-smiling expression, Chi Zhen was furious again and said angrily, "If I hadn't been running around outside all these years and working hard to build up Chi's, do you think you could be at home and be your rich wife?! When you were playing mahjong and shopping, I was working. Not only did I not help, but now I am always holding me back!"
Xu Rou sneered, "You're being nice. Before, when I wanted to go out to work, you told me to stay home to take care of the kids because you were worried about the nanny. Now you're blaming me?! You work hard, but it's not hard for me to take care of the kids at home?!"
"How many years ago was that?!"
…
Seeing the two of them attacking and mocking each other, Chi Xuan unconsciously clenched her hands hanging by her side into fists.
She didn't know when the relationship between her parents, who had always been so loving in front of her, had deteriorated to this point. Both of them mercilessly attacked each other with the most hurtful words.
Chi Xuan wanted to persuade him before, but now she just feels annoyed.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a knock on the door and the servant's voice came in.
"Second Miss, Young Master Huo is here."
After hearing this, the two people who were still arguing finally calmed down. Chi Zhen looked at Chi Xuan and forced a smile.
"Xuanxuan, go take care of Young Master Huo first, I'll be right out."
Chi Xuan nodded, then turned and walked out of the study.
Chi Zhen took a deep breath and looked at Xu Rou unhappily, "Clean up and come out, don't embarrass yourself again!"
After Chi Zhen left, Xu Rou finally couldn't help crying, and hated Chi Muzhen even more in her heart. She decided to pretend that she didn't have this daughter from now on!
The living room downstairs became lively again with the arrival of Huo Tianyi.
Although Huo Tianyi's net worth is not as high as Huo Yunting's, he is also the object of everyone's flattery. After all, the value of Heyuan is not low.
Chi Xuan adjusted her mood, put on a smile, walked to Huo Tianyi and took his hand, which attracted the envy and jealousy of a bunch of celebrities.
However, those socialites looked at her with obvious contempt. The incident of her taking advantage of them just now had not yet passed. It was just that because Huo Tianyi was here, they did not dare to offend her.
Chi Xuan naturally knew that those socialites were dissatisfied with her now, and she raised her lips with a perfect smile. She would definitely not let others laugh at her again.
Huo Tianyi leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, "I saw Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen on the way here just now. Why did they leave so early?"
Chi Xuan looked a little unnatural, and she lowered her eyes and said, "Sister said she was tired, so Brother Yun Ting took her back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Tianyi chuckled.
"Is it that simple? Why did I just hear some other rumors?"
Chi Xuan looked up at him, her eyes devoid of warmth. "Mr. Huo, you also said it was a rumor, so it's naturally unbelievable."
Huo Tianyi reached out and pinched her chin, stroking her red lips with his thumb, and said word by word: "Chi Xuan, I don't like women who think they are smart. I hope that next time I won't hear you use such cheap and easily exposed methods, otherwise it will only embarrass me!"
The two of them were very close to each other, and from a distance they looked like they were flirting, which made the socialites who were interested in Huo Tianyi look angry.
I really don’t know why Huo Tianyi, such a good man, fell in love with Chi Xuan!
Sensing the danger in Huo Tianyi's eyes, Chi Xuan nodded and said, "Young Master Huo, I understand."
Huo Tianyi let go of her with satisfaction, picked up a glass of champagne and took a sip, "Didn't you say before that you would give me a surprise? Now that I'm here, what is that surprise?"
Hearing this, Chi Xuan pinched her palm unconsciously and felt a little nervous.
"Young Master Huo, why are you in such a hurry? The banquet is about to begin. Shall we dance the first opening dance together?"
The smile in Huo Tianyi's eyes gradually turned cold, and his voice was full of sarcasm, "Chi Xuan, do you think I would play such a boring game with you?"
Chi Xuan took a deep breath and looked up at him.
"Well, the surprise I want to tell you is..."
Having said that, Chi Xuan leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.
Huo Tianyi's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.
