Chapter 178 The Prodigal Son
The Love of the World is a necklace designed by a top jewelry designer for his wife. After his wife passed away, the Love of the World was kept by him as a treasure.
Many people wanted to buy the Love of the World, but were rejected by him. After the designer passed away, the Love of the World also disappeared.
However, Chi Muzhen soon discovered that this necklace only looked like Love in the World at first glance. Apart from the same materials used, other details were completely different.
"No, this is not a love story."
Huo Yunting nodded, "Yes, the name of this necklace is Stars."
Chi Muzhen looked at the broken diamonds dotted on the necklace. They sparkled under the light, reflecting beautiful light. They were indeed as beautiful as stars.
"It looks great, thank you."
"I'll put it on for you."
Huo Yunting picked up the necklace, walked behind Chi Muzhen and put it on her.
She was already dressed up tonight, and the necklace made her even more beautiful and charming, making people unable to help but be moved.
Chi Muzhen also liked this necklace very much and couldn't let it go. She touched it lovingly. The person who could design such a beautiful necklace must be very good in the design world.
"Who designed this necklace? I'd like to meet him if I get the chance."
Huo Yunting lowered his eyes and did not answer the question.
"As long as you like it."
After the two of them had dinner, on the way back, Chi Muzhen noticed that the billboards on the roadside had been replaced with birthday wishes for her.
She looked back at Huo Yunting and said seriously, "Huo Yunting, thank you for tonight. I'm really happy."
This was the first time someone had shown her such blatant preference since she returned to the Chi family.
"This is what a boyfriend should do. Besides, don't you think thanking me makes it seem like we're not familiar with each other?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, with a smile in her eyes, and nodded: "Well, I understand."
As soon as the two returned home, Chi Muzhen received a call from Shen Tian.
"Zhenzhen, I heard Huo Yunting spent a huge amount of money to set off a fireworks display for you today?"
"Well, aren't you on a business trip abroad? How did you hear about it?"
"Even though I'm overseas, it would be strange if I didn't hear about Huo Yunting making such a big fuss."
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but smile, "That's right."
"Happy birthday! I'll bring your birthday present back tomorrow. I won't disturb your time alone. Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen put away his phone and got up to take a shower.
On the other side, the Chi family.
After the banquet, Chi Xuan saw the birthday surprise that Huo Yunting prepared for Chi Muzhen on WeChat Moments, and she was so angry that she threw her phone. It was obvious that all of this belonged to her, but it was Chi Muzhen who snatched away Huo Yunting, and it was Chi Muzhen who snatched away everything that originally belonged to her!
She will never let Chi Muzhen go!
Xu Rou, who was sitting opposite, was in a daze and didn't notice Chi Xuan's abnormality at all. It was only after Chi Xuan called her several times that she came to her senses.
"Xuanxuan, what's wrong?"
Chi Xuan looked inquiring, "Mom, what's wrong with you? You've been distracted since the party ended. Did something happen?"
Xu Rou shook her head. "It's okay. I'm just a little tired. I'll go back to the bedroom first. You should get some rest too."
"good."
Back in the bedroom, Xu Rou sat on the bed and continued to be in a daze until the ringing of her cell phone woke her up.
Seeing that it was a call from a private detective, Xu Rou quickly answered the call.
"How is it? Where is he now?"
"Mrs. Chi, Mr. Chi went straight to the company after leaving home and hasn't left yet."
Hearing that he was indeed going to work overtime, Xu Rou's heart finally settled down.
"Okay, I understand."
Just as he was about to hang up, the private detective said, "Mr. Chi is leaving the company right now, so we won't follow him."
"Um."
Xu Rou waited at home for more than an hour, but Chi Zhen still hadn't come back. She couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts in her mind.
After hesitating for a while, she called Chi Zhen.
"Where are you now?"
Chi Zhen's voice was a little impatient. "Where else can you be besides the company? What's wrong?"
Hearing this, Xu Rou's anger suddenly surged into her mind.
"Chi Zhen, you left the company more than an hour ago. Where did you work overtime?!"
There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then Chi Zhen's angry voice rang out, "Xu Rou, you hired someone to follow me?!"
Xu Rou sneered, "So what? You've been lying to me, Chi Zhen, where are you now?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Zhen hung up the phone.
Half an hour later, Chi Zhen returned to the Chi family.
As soon as he opened the bedroom door, Xu Rou rushed over, grabbed his collar, and her face was full of madness.
"Chi Zhen, where did you go just now?!"
Chi Zhen threw her to the ground with a look of disgust and said coldly: "I also go out for social events, do I have to report this to you?! What are you suspicious of?!"
Xu Rou's eyes were filled with suspicion. "What did you talk about with that woman in the pavilion out back tonight?! That woman wasn't even among the people invited today. What's your relationship?!"
Chi Zhen was shocked. He didn't expect that Xu Rou saw him talking to Lin Jiaqi.
But soon he calmed down and looked at Xu Rou with angry eyes.
"That's one of my clients. She came with her friends. You usually only know women who eat, drink and have fun. Of course you don't know her!"
Hearing this, Xu Rou's eyes flashed with doubt, "Really?"
Chi Zhen looked at her impatiently. "If you don't believe me, forget it! I still have a lot of work to do and don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"
After saying that, he turned around and left!
Xu Rou stared at his back, and only lowered her head when Chi Zhen's back disappeared from her sight.
Chi Zhen, you'd better not lie to me!
The next day, near the end of the get off work day, Chi Muzhen suddenly received a call from Shi Yiheng.
"Mu Zhen, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
The restaurant they had agreed to meet at was a private restaurant. Because it was the evening rush hour, Chi Muzhen arrived half an hour late for the agreed time.
When she walked into the box and saw Shi Yiheng, she quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Shi Yiheng smiled gently, "It's okay, there's no rush anyway."
After saying that, he handed a box to Chi Muzhen and said, "This is a birthday present. See if you like it."
Chi Muzhen opened the box and found a jade bracelet inside. Judging from its quality, it was worth at least tens of millions.
She frowned. "This birthday gift is too expensive."
Seeing that she didn't want to accept it, Shi Yiheng said, "It's not expensive at all. If it weren't for you, I'm not sure I would be able to sit here and have dinner with you right now."
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips. She didn't want it at first, but thinking of Shi Yiheng's character, she nodded and accepted it. She secretly decided to wait for his birthday and buy him one with a similar price.
"Let's order what you want to eat."
Chi Muzhen took the menu and said, "You gave me such a valuable birthday gift today, this meal is on me."
This time Shi Yiheng did not refuse, nodded and said: "Okay."
In a box not far from the two of them, Chi Xuan and Huo Tianyi sat opposite each other.
The two were talking about the baby in Chi Xuan's belly, but it was obvious that the conversation was not going well.
Huo Tianyi's face was cold, his eyes were icy, "What do you want me to do in order to abort this child?"
