Chapter 181 The Miser
After hesitating for a while, Chi Xuan answered the call.
"Brother Yunting, you called me suddenly, is it because..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted coldly by Huo Yunting.
"Chi Xuan, did you ignore my previous warning?"
His voice was full of coldness, and even through the phone, Chi Xuan could feel how angry he was at the moment.
Chi Xuan bit her lower lip, knowing that he must have evidence to say so, and she felt panicked.
"Brother Yunting, I'm doing this for your own good."
Huo Yunting sneered, "Are you going to scheme against Chi Muzhen just for my own good? I told you before not to mess with her."
Hearing Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen's defense, Chi Xuan felt jealous and angry. She took several deep breaths before calming herself down.
"If she hadn't secretly had dinner with another man, I wouldn't have had the chance to plot against her even if I wanted to, right?"
As the words fell, the other side fell into silence.
Chi Xuan knew that she had hit a sore spot for Huo Yunting and continued, "Brother Yunting, I originally wanted to send you the photos after I took them, but I felt that it would be too easy for Chi Muzhen. She had to learn a lesson, so I sent the photos to the entertainment reporter. The entertainment reporter just told the truth. Chi Muzhen did have dinner alone with Shi Yiheng, didn't she?"
It was unknown how long it had been before Huo Yunting's cold and deep voice came over.
"Don't do it again, or I won't let you go!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Chi Xuan held the phone in her hand, a smile slowly forming on the corner of her mouth.
It seems that Huo Yunting doesn't trust Chi Muzhen that much. At least what he said just now has a certain impact on him, otherwise he would not let him go like this.
Maybe deep down in his heart, he also felt that what he said was right, didn't he?
After get off work in the evening, Huo Yunting went to pick up Chi Muzhen.
On the way back, both of them were silent.
When they were almost at the villa, Chi Muzhen finally couldn't help but speak first: "Mr. Huo, thank you for the online matter."
Huo Yunting nodded and said "hmm" indifferently.
This time, he always felt like a thorn had pierced his flesh. It didn't hurt much, but it kept reminding him of Chi Muzhen's vigilance and distrust of him.
He wanted to ignore these things, but they always came into his mind inadvertently, making him wonder, does Chi Muzhen really like him?
If it was before Chi Muzhen filed for divorce, he knew the answer was yes, but now... he was not sure.
After returning to the villa, the two finished their dinner. Huo Yunting went to the study to continue working. Chi Muzhen was about to return to the bedroom when she suddenly received a call from Shi Yiheng's agent.
"Ms. Chi, I didn't want to bother you, but Yiheng's recent endorsements and collaborations have all been inexplicably terminated. Yesterday, we finally agreed on a new drama, and today we were told the actor has been replaced. If this continues, Yiheng's acting career will be ruined."
Chi Muzhen frowned, "What's going on? Is it related to the meal we had together?"
Even if it had an impact on Shi Yiheng, it shouldn't be so serious.
The agent told Chi Muzhen all the information he had recently inquired about, including the fact that Shi Yiheng had offended the Huo family.
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, "I know about this matter. I will solve it. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen sat in the living room for a long time before getting up and going to the study.
She didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked in.
Huo Yunting was in the middle of a video conference. He frowned and looked towards the door. After seeing Chi Muzhen's frosty expression, he said to the camera that the meeting would be suspended for ten minutes, closed his computer and looked at Chi Muzhen.
"What's up?"
Chi Muzhen looked at him indifferently and said coldly, "Shi Yiheng's recent endorsements and new drama contracts were all terminated. Was it you who did this?"
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold upon hearing this. "Are you questioning me about him?"
"Answer my question, yes or no?!"
"yes."
Even though he already knew the answer, Chi Muzhen still felt a tightness in his chest the moment he heard it.
She bit her lower lip and said word by word, "Why do you want to do this? I've already explained to you that Shi Yiheng and I are just having a meal together. Why do you want to ruin his career?!"
Huo Yunting's expression was tense, and his eyes were cold.
"Chi Muzhen, who is your boyfriend? Are you going to argue with me over an outsider?"
"He's my friend. When will you learn to respect me?! If you didn't trust me, why did you even ask for a fresh start?!"
These words completely ignited Huo Yunting's anger. He sneered, and every word seemed to be ice chips falling down.
"Trust? Have you ever trusted me?"
Whenever he had contact with Chi Xuan, she felt that he had done something shameful with her.
Now he was just teaching Shi Yiheng a lesson, but she couldn't wait to run up to him and question him, as if he was an unforgivable sinner.
Seeing the coldness and anger in Huo Yunting's eyes, Chi Muzhen closed her eyes and said slowly, "Indeed... Ever since we got back together, we haven't trusted each other. As soon as there's a little trouble, we start to suspect each other. Is there any need for such a relationship to continue?"
As she finished speaking, the emotions in Huo Yunting's eyes disappeared in an instant and became extremely deep, like the receding tide.
"You've been wanting to say this since the day we got back together, right?"
Chi Muzhen took a deep breath and said coldly: "Maybe we are really not suitable to be together, let's break up."
The study suddenly fell into a suffocating cold, and the temperature quickly dropped to freezing point, making people feel as if they were in ice and snow.
After a long time, Huo Yunting's cold voice sounded.
"You finally spoke your mind."
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, looked at Huo Yunting and said, "Yes, ever since we got together, I felt that we were not suitable. Continuing like this would be a torture for both of us."
Huo Yunting's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said sarcastically, "Then who is suitable for you, Shi Yiheng? It seems that I am the one standing in your way."
Chi Muzhen frowned. "Could you please stop bringing other people into this? This is a matter between the two of us."
"Okay, let's not talk about other people. I won't agree to break up."
"What's the point of continuing to entangle like this, Mr. Huo? I hope we can part ways amicably."
Huo Yunting met her angry eyes coldly and said, "I still have work to do. Please leave."
Chi Muzhen looked at him and said, "Huo Yunting, I'm telling you when I say we're breaking up, not asking for your consent. I'm packing up and leaving right now. This is the end for us!"
After saying that, Chi Muzhen turned around and left.
The moment the study door closed, Huo Yunting swept all the documents on the table to the ground, his expression terribly gloomy.
Chi Muzhen quickly packed up and drove back to Yushuwan overnight.
Knowing that she had quarreled with Huo Yunting, Shen Tian rushed over to accompany her.
"Didn't we reconcile before? Why are you suddenly making a fuss about breaking up?"
Chi Muzhen sat on the sofa and said calmly, "It wasn't sudden. The moment I got back together with him, I guessed that we would break up."
In the past, she and Huo Yunting were able to live in peace for three years because she would tolerate Huo Yunting without any bottom line, but now when she has a conflict with Huo Yunting, she is unwilling to give in and always confronts him. No matter how much she likes him, it will gradually be exhausted in this endless quarrel.
Shen Tian frowned, "Are you sure you really want to break up?"
