Chapter 23: Still need heart medicine
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "Let's talk about you revealing the fact that we are secretly married at the banquet tonight."
Fortunately, the people who came today were all familiar to the Chi family. As long as she made some arrangements behind the scenes, no more people would know that she and Huo Yunting had been secretly married for three years.
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, anger brewing in his eyes. "Chi Muzhen, don't forget, if I hadn't helped you, who knows how your male model-ordering incident would have turned out!"
Chi Muzhen chuckled, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
"I don't think I asked you for help. You acted on your own, and by doing so, you caused me trouble."
Huo Yunting had a cold expression and looked at Chi Muzhen with a mocking look.
"What kind of trouble is this? It's affecting your job search?"
Chi Muzhen frowned, "Do you have to speak so harshly?"
"The truth is always hard to hear."
"Huo Yunting, I don't want to make things so ugly. What do you want in exchange for a divorce?"
Huo Yunting suddenly stood up, looked down at Chi Muzhen, and said word by word: "I said, I will not agree to divorce, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Chi Muzhen took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart, and looked at him as calmly as possible. "If you don't want to divorce, there must be a reason. My reason is that I don't love you anymore, so I don't want to continue this loveless marriage."
He didn't know why, but whenever he thought about Chi Muzhen not including him in her future plans, Huo Yunting felt an indescribable irritation in his heart.
He looked at Chi Muzhen coldly, "You chose this marriage yourself, and now it's not up to you!"
Seeing Huo Yunting turning around and about to leave, Chi Muzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Since you don't agree, I'll go talk to grandma about this myself!"
"You dare!"
Huo Yunting's voice was filled with anger, and he stared at Chi Muzhen as if he wanted to eat her.
Chi Muzhen was not frightened by the intimidation in his eyes and looked at him fearlessly, "If you still want to continue to pester me like this, I can only ask my grandmother to get you a divorce!"
Huo Yunting stared at her face intently, and after a moment he sneered, "Then you can try and see if I agree!"
After he left, Chi Muzhen was furious. It was such a simple matter, just signing, why did he refuse to agree?!
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.
As soon as the call was connected, Shen Tian's voice came over, "Zhen Zhen, where have you been? I just called my mom, and when I came back you were gone. People around are still secretly discussing your marriage to Huo Yunting. Did you make it public?!"
Chi Muzhen's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and her fingers turned a little white. After a long time, she murmured "hmm".
"What's going on? Aren't you going to get a divorce?"
"I'll explain it to you another day. I'm a little tired today, so that's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen sat on the sofa for a while before getting up and returning to the bedroom.
In the study.
Huo Yunting is talking to Ke Ning on the phone.
"Mr. Huo, we've already investigated. Bai Xuening was responsible for tonight's incident. Bai Xuening was good friends with Miss Chi Xuan when she was abroad. She just returned to China not long ago and has no grudges against Miss Chi. So, tonight's incident may be related to Miss Chi Xuan."
Huo Yunting's eyes turned colder, and he said in a cold voice, "Send what you found to my phone."
"yes!"
After receiving the notification in his mailbox, Huo Yunting clicked on it and took a few glances. A cold aura emanated from his entire body.
He sent a message to Ke Ning and asked Ke Ning to erase all traces before calling Chi Xuan.
After receiving Huo Yunting's call, Chi Xuan spoke after a long while: "Brother Yunting, didn't you say you don't want to have anything to do with me? Why did you call me?!"
"Does what happened tonight have anything to do with you?!"
Chi Xuan's breathing became noticeably heavier, and she then spoke in a tone of grievance and anger: "Are you doubting me?!"
Huo Yunting said indifferently, "Answer my question."
"No! No matter how terrible my sister is, she is still my biological sister. How could I possibly harm her?!"
Upon hearing this, a cold flash crossed Huo Yunting's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "I've already investigated this matter thoroughly. On the surface, it was Bai Xuening who did it, but if we continue to investigate, we might find some clues. I'll give you another chance. Do you have anything to do with it?!"
Chi Xuan was frightened by Huo Yunting's cold tone. After a long while, she spoke: "Yes, I did it, because I was tired of seeing you standing with her, when the person next to you should be me!
I was jealous of her, so jealous that I almost went crazy! That's why I did this! Do you think I'm ridiculous? ! "
Huo Yunting pursed his lips tightly and spoke in a cold tone, "Forget it this time. Don't play such boring tricks again. I don't want you to ruin the little bit of good feelings I have left for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yunting felt annoyed.
It seems that he has to hurry up to acquire MY. After giving MY to Chi Xuan, he will not give Chi Xuan any chance to get close to him!
The next morning, Chi Muzhen just got up and received a call from Chi Zhen.
"Mu Zhen, are you awake?"
Hearing Chi Zhen's cautious tone, Chi Muzhen frowned, "What's wrong?"
Chi Zhen coughed lightly and said, "Yesterday was your grandfather's birthday party, and our family didn't have a chance to sit together and chat. Today, your grandparents asked the kitchen to cook your favorite dishes. Go back to the old house tonight and have dinner with your grandparents."
Chi Muzhen finally understood why Chi Zhen's attitude towards her had changed, but their expectations were destined to be dashed.
Not to mention that she and Huo Yunting have a bad relationship. Even if they have a good relationship, she will not let Huo Yunting help the Chi family.
"No, I'm very busy and may not have time to go over."
"Aren't you a full-time housewife at home? How come you don't have time?"
"I found a job and now I have to go to work. That's all I have to do."
Chi Zhen was stunned for a moment, and only reacted when he heard a busy tone on the phone.
Xu Rou, standing by, had an unpleasant expression on her face. She pouted and asked, "How is it? Did she agree to come?"
Chi Zhen shook his head. "She said she found a job and didn't have time to come."
Xu Rou snorted coldly and said with disdain, "What good job can she find? Will she be washing dishes in a restaurant or something like that?! If it's something like that, you should persuade her to quit as soon as possible to avoid bringing shame to the Chi family!"
Chi Zhen looked at Xu Rou coldly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes. "Mu Zhen is Huo Yunting's wife after all, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
"If Huo Yunting hadn't been crippled, do you think the Chi family would have chosen a woman who hadn't even graduated from high school to be Huo Yunting's wife?!"
Chi Muzhen hadn't even finished high school when she suddenly disappeared for a while. When she came back, she didn't mention continuing to go to school.
Therefore, among the Chi family, Chi Muzhen has the lowest academic qualifications and is often ridiculed by Ai Fengcai. Xu Rou feels extremely embarrassed every time. If it weren't for Chi Xuan's hard work, who knows how she would be ridiculed by Ai Fengcai now!
"Xu Rou! I'm warning you, no matter what Mu Zhen is like, she's still your biological daughter!"
"I don't have such a daughter! I only consider Xuanxuan as my only child!"
After saying that, Xu Rou turned around and left.
Chi Zhen looked at Xu Rou's back and felt a headache.
He called his assistant and asked, "Go check where Chi Muzhen works."
…
Ten o'clock in the morning, MY top floor conference room.
Liang Dechang stared at Chi Muzhen angrily, slammed the documents in his hand on the table, and said coldly: "Boss Chi, the people in the department I manage have been laid off, and new employees have not been recruited yet. The entire department is on the verge of paralysis!
Several partners are urging me to deliver products, and my subordinates have been working overtime until late at night for more than a week. In the past two days, several employees couldn't stand such a high intensity of work and asked me to resign!
This incident was caused by you, shouldn’t you give me a solution? "
