Chapter 20: One Day's Plan
A hint of shyness flashed across Chi Xuan's face, and she nodded and said, "Okay."
She walked to the car and called out in a delicate voice, "Brother Yunting, everyone is waiting for you, please come down."
In the car, Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting were confronting each other. Suddenly, they heard Chi Xuan's deliberately gentle voice. Chi Muzhen couldn't help but shudder, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
She looked at Huo Yunting with a half-smile, and deliberately imitated Chi Xuan's tone and said, "Brother Yunting, your sweetheart is waiting outside the car, can you please let me go?"
Huo Yunting frowned even more tightly and gritted his teeth, "Chi Muzhen, please speak properly!"
Chi Muzhen rolled her eyes. "It's hard for me to talk properly when you hold my hand like that."
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting let go of her hand with an indifferent look and said coldly, "Get out of the car."
Chi Muzhen pushed open the car door and got out. Chi Xuan, who was waiting outside, had a shy and expectant look on her face. The moment she saw Chi Muzhen, her face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Chi Muzhen, why is it you?!"
She actually came with Huo Yunting!
This bitch!
Chi Muzhen raised her eyebrows and smiled, then said, "Sister, you seem surprised to see me?"
Not only Chi Xuan, everyone in the Chi family changed their expressions when they saw Chi Muzhen, especially Xu Rou, who stared at Chi Muzhen as if she was looking at an enemy!
Chi Muzhen must have done it on purpose!
Ever since she returned to the Chi family, she has been trying every possible way to steal Xuanxuan's limelight!
Huo Yunting got out of the car from the other side, walked to Chi Muzhen, and took her hand naturally.
Chi Muzhen frowned and tried to shake him off but failed.
She couldn't help but grit her teeth and whispered, "Huo Yunting, are you sick?! There are so many people watching us? Aren't you afraid they will misunderstand?!"
"What misunderstanding? We are husband and wife. Isn't it normal to hold hands?"
Chi Muzhen sneered and said nothing more.
To outsiders, the two of them were just whispering, and everyone was immediately in an uproar.
"What's going on?! Didn't they say that President Huo and Chi Xuan were a couple? Why is he holding hands with Chi Muzhen now?!"
"Chi Xuan has been abroad for three years, and even the deepest feelings have faded. Maybe Chi Muzhen has already taken advantage of the situation."
"Hahaha, Chi Xuan is hilarious. Just now in the banquet hall, she even accidentally revealed that Huo Yunting would be attending her grandfather's banquet at her invitation, as if it was a great honor for her. I wonder if her face hurts now?!"
"Me too. I've long been fed up with her condescending attitude. Now seeing this is so refreshing!"
…
Listening to the discussions of the people around her, Chi Xuan was so angry that she wanted to slap Chi Muzhen twice. She must have deliberately taken Huo Yunting's car just to embarrass herself in front of everyone.
She raised her eyes to look at Huo Yunting, tears already in her eyes, "Brother Yunting, sister, you are going too far!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran away with red eyes.
Chi Muzhen looked at her back and narrowed his eyes unconsciously. Chi Xuan was still as naive as ever.
It seemed like she said nothing, but in fact she said everything.
He not only expressed that he knew nothing before, but also implicitly pointed out that she had interfered in their relationship. What a great tea art master he is.
Sure enough, there was something wrong with the way the guests looked at Chi Muzhen.
But Chi Muzhen didn't care, and even turned to look at Huo Yunting, "Your little lover is wronged, why don't you go and comfort him?"
Huo Yunting frowned and said coldly: "Chi Muzhen, don't go too far!"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said nothing more.
The Chi family knew that Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting were married, but Xu Rou still felt that it was Chi Muzhen who snatched Huo Yunting away from Chi Xuan.
She looked at Chi Muzhen with a cold expression and said in a cold voice: "What a shame to be pulling and tugging in front of so many people!"
Chi Muzhen still had some fantasies about Xu Rou when she first returned to the Chi family, but because of Xu Rou's biased actions later, Chi Muzhen now only regards her as a stranger.
"It was Huo Yunting who insisted on dragging me along. You should tell him this. It's no use telling me."
Seeing Chi Muzhen's nonchalant expression and her courage to challenge her, Xu Rou suddenly became even angrier and said coldly, "Chi Muzhen, what are you talking about? Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"
Old Master Chi frowned and said angrily, "Alright! Stop talking and don't make fun of us!"
Chi Zhen nodded quickly, glanced at Xu Rou coldly, and looked at Huo Yunting with a smile on his face, "Mr. Huo, please come in, please come in!"
Huo Yunting looked indifferent as he pulled Chi Muzhen into the banquet hall.
Chi Muzhen was feeling irritated and didn't want to stay with Huo Yunting for even a second.
"Mr. Huo, you still have business to discuss with others. Can you let me go now?"
Seeing the impatience in her eyes, as if she wanted to escape from him immediately, Huo Yunting's eyes turned colder.
"If you don't want me to tell everyone that we're husband and wife, then stay by my side and don't go anywhere!"
Chi Muzhen frowned, then suddenly thought of something and chuckled, "Okay, as long as you're not afraid of others saying Chi Xuan is a mistress and wants to interfere in our marriage, then you can go public!"
Without waiting for Huo Yunting to speak, she coldly shook off Huo Yunting's hand, turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Huo Yunting had a cold expression. It seemed that he had indulged her too much recently, and now she was giving him a cold shoulder!
Chi Muzhen found a deserted place and was about to take a rest when the servants of the Chi family came over.
"Miss, the eldest young lady wants you to come over."
Chi Muzhen followed the servant to Xu Rou's room. As soon as she walked in, she was slapped in the face.
Her eyes turned cold, she took a step back and looked at Xu Rou with a cold expression.
Xu Rou didn't hit Chi Muzhen, and she almost fell down. She immediately became even angrier and pointed at Chi Muzhen's nose and cursed: "Chi Muzhen, how can you be so vicious! You knew that your sister and Huo Yunting liked each other, and you deliberately made her embarrassed in front of the guests! Are you still human?!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Chi Muzhen's eyes. She and Huo Yunting were obviously husband and wife, but in Xu Rou's eyes, she was the one who snatched Huo Yunting away from Chi Xuan.
It's really eye-opening that people can be biased to this extent!
She looked at Xu Rou with a cold expression, "Three years ago, when Huo Yunting was paralyzed in a car accident, Chi Xuan deliberately hid abroad and pretended not to know. When I took the initiative to propose to him, why didn't you object?
Now that Huo Yunting's leg has healed and Chi Xuan has returned to China, should I give Huo Yunting to her? Why?
"You owe Xuanxuan all this! If it weren't for her, do you think you could return to the Chi family?! Chi Muzhen, don't be so ungrateful!"
Chi Muzhen laughed angrily, looking at Xu Rou coldly and said, "What do I owe her?! If I hadn't donated her bone marrow, would she be alive today?! It was you who begged me to return to the Chi family. Otherwise, do you think I would want to come back?!"
Xu Rou sneered, her eyes filled with condescending contempt. "If it weren't for you donating bone marrow to Xuanxuan, you would still be farming in that poor mountain valley. Everything you have today is because of the Chi family!"
