Chapter 222: All-rounder
On the other side, Huo Yunting was still dialing that number, but a mechanical and cold female voice came from the phone again and again saying that the call could not be connected, and then it turned off.
Chi Xuan, who was standing by, was frightened by his cold appearance and trembled with fear. She lowered her head and dared not speak.
Noticing the increasingly frightening coldness emanating from him, Chi Xuan spoke in a trembling voice, "Brother Yun Ting, I didn't mean to do that. I saw your phone kept ringing, so I answered it for you, but the person on the other end hung up without saying anything."
Huo Yunting glanced at her coldly, his voice devoid of any warmth, "Get lost!"
Chi Xuan was frightened and realized that Huo Yunting was furious. She didn't dare to say anything and quickly got up and left.
After the room fell into silence, Huo Yunting's fingers, which were pinched in his hands, turned pale and his eyes were full of regret.
If he had taken his cell phone with him when he showered, he wouldn't have missed the call.
He was very sure that it must be Chi Muzhen who called.
Thinking of this, pain and regret appeared on his face.
Before, Chi Xuan found him and said that she wanted to cooperate with him. She proposed to help Huo Yunting take back the Huo Group on the condition that she would give her 5% of the Huo Group's shares. Huo Yunting agreed.
When leaving, a waiter accidentally spilled curry on Huo Yunting's shirt while serving food to another table. Chi Xuan suggested that the hotel run by the Chi family was upstairs and asked him to go upstairs and take a shower.
Because the smell of curry was too unbearable, Huo Yunting agreed and went directly to the hotel to take a shower under the guidance of the waiter, forgetting to take his cell phone with him.
Unexpectedly, Chi Xuan answered his call without his permission, and she waited until he came out of the shower before telling him about it.
Whenever Huo Yunting thought that the call Chi Xuan received was most likely from Chi Muzhen, he couldn't help but feel angry.
When she hears Chi Xuan's voice, she will definitely misunderstand.
Huo Yunting called Ke Ning and said coldly, "I'll send you a phone number. Go check where this number belongs immediately!"
Soon, Koning's message came back.
[Mr. Huo, that number is from Country D.]
[Immediately send someone to Country D to investigate whether Chi Muzhen has appeared! ]
Half a month later.
"Boss Huo, we've found Miss Chi's exact location, but..."
Huo Yunting's originally calm expression suddenly became agitated, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is she now?!"
"For the past half month, Miss Chi has been living in President Qi's villa in Country D."
Hearing this, Huo Yunting's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "Book a flight to Country D as soon as possible."
More than ten hours later, Huo Yunting appeared in front of Qi Yunzhe's villa in Country D with a cold expression.
The gate of the villa is an iron gate with a seam and carvings in the middle, and the garden of the villa is visible at a glance.
After seeing the scene in the pavilion clearly, Huo Yunting's eyes instantly became extremely sinister.
In the pavilion.
Qi Yunzhe held a bowl of Chinese medicine with a smile on his face, "The doctor said that drinking Chinese medicine will help you get better faster. I have been watching over this bowl of Chinese medicine for two hours. Considering how hard I have worked, please take a sip."
Half a month ago, Chi Muzhen thought she was going to die, and the pain in her body made her gradually lose consciousness.
When she woke up again, she found herself in Qi Yunzhe's villa and realized that it was he who saved her.
According to Qi Yunzhe's description, when he found her, the sea water had already reached her neck. If he had been one minute later, she would have fallen to the bottom of the sea along with the cruise ship.
Chi Muzhen was very grateful to him, and because he was seriously injured, he could only recuperate here first.
Qi Yunzhe had taken care of her meticulously in the past half month, and she had noticed his feelings for her, but since he didn't say anything, she just pretended nothing happened because she was destined not to be able to respond to him.
She only had one heart, which she carefully held in front of Huo Yunting, but he ruthlessly smashed it to pieces, and she also lost the ability to love others.
Chi Muzhen smiled and took the bowl from him, "Okay."
She picked up the Chinese medicine and drank it all in one gulp. Because it was too bitter, her face wrinkled unconsciously.
Qi Yunzhe took out the prepared candied fruit and directly picked up one and handed it to Chi Muzhen's mouth.
Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment. Qi Yunzhe had been keeping a distance from her appropriately for the past half month. His sudden intimate gesture made her a little overwhelmed.
Before Chi Muzhen could refuse, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Qi Yunzhe, I asked you to help me find Chi Muzhen's whereabouts, and this is how you help me?!"
When they suddenly heard Huo Yunting's voice, they were both stunned.
Chi Muzhen's hands on the table curled up unconsciously, and after several seconds, he slowly raised his head and looked towards the door.
Huo Yunting's face was tense, his eyes filled with impending anger. Just by looking up at him, one could feel the oppressive force all over him, making it almost hard to breathe.
Qi Yunzhe reacted quickly and asked the servant to open the door.
Huo Yunting slowly approached the two of them. As the distance between them shortened, the fierce aura around him also enveloped Chi Muzhen and Qi Yunzhe.
Only after standing next to the two of them did Huo Yunting look at Qi Yunzhe and said word by word, "Don't you think you should explain?"
Qi Yunzhe took a deep breath and was about to speak when Chi Muzhen spoke.
"Boss Huo, Boss Qi and I are unmarried, so what's there to explain? The facts are what you see."
Huo Yunting turned to look at Chi Muzhen, his eyes were like a thousand miles of ice, and the coldness he emitted was almost enough to freeze people to death.
"After you and grandma disappeared, I've been looking for you, but the news I got was that you'd been here for half a month. Do you know how I felt at that moment?!"
Chi Muzhen chuckled, "Grandma Huo is safe and should be back in Rongcheng in half a month. As for me, I'm doing well. President Huo doesn't need to look for her anymore."
Huo Yunting frowned and reached out to pull Chi Muzhen, but she dodged him directly.
Sensing her resistance, Huo Yunting suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Zhenzhen, if there's anything, we can resolve it when we return to Rongcheng."
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at Huo Yunting.
She wanted to ask him how he could act so well. He was entangled with Chi Xuan when she disappeared, and now he acted so affectionate in front of her.
"Huo Yunting, aren't you tired?"
Huo Yunting's pupils shrank. "What do you mean?"
"You clearly don't like me that much, but you have to pretend to be so affectionate. Aren't you tired?"
Huo Yunting's expression changed, and his eyes turned cold. "Did something happen during this period? If there is any misunderstanding, you can..."
Before he could finish his words, Chi Muzhen interrupted him coldly.
"There's no misunderstanding. Half a month ago, I called you and Chi Xuan answered. She said you were taking a shower. Under what circumstances would a woman answer a call from a man who was also taking a shower?"
Huo Yunting frowned and said, "I can explain this matter."
Chi Muzhen looked indifferent. "No need to explain. I don't care anymore. I was going to explain it to you when I returned to China. Now that you're here today, let's finish what we need to say right now."
"This incident is not what you think. We were having dinner together and my clothes were soiled by the waiter. It happened that the hotel upstairs was owned by Chi. I went to take a shower and forgot to bring my phone."
After listening to him expressionlessly, Chi Muzhen looked up at him and said word by word, "Huo Yunting, how can there be so many coincidences? Do you take me for a fool?"
A cold light flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes. "If you don't believe it, you can go back to China to verify it."
"No need, let's break up!"
