Chapter 264: Beggar
"Send it to the old lady."
"OK."
Seeing Huo Yunting's bloodshot eyes, Ke Ning quickly said, "Mr. Huo, you should go back and rest first. It's already past midnight."
Huo Yunting nodded, "Okay, call me anytime if you have anything."
When we returned to Yushuwan, it was already past one in the morning.
The lights in the villa were still on. Huo Yunting opened the door and went in. Seeing Chi Muzhen sleeping on the sofa, he unconsciously slowed down his footsteps.
I walked to Chi Muzhen and was about to carry her back to the bedroom when she woke up.
When she saw Huo Yunting, her hazy eyes became clear and she slowly sat up.
"What time is it?"
"It's past one in the morning. I'll carry you upstairs to sleep."
"Need not."
Chi Muzhen looked up at him and said calmly, "You came back so late, don't you think you should explain?"
Huo Yunting sat down next to her and told her what happened today, but he skipped the fact that he accompanied Chi Xuan to the hospital for an abortion.
After listening to this, Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, and her hands on her legs unconsciously tightened slowly.
"That's all? You don't have anything else to tell me?"
Huo Yunting frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's it. Isn't this day thrilling enough?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she stood up and said, "You've been busy all day and you're tired. Go and have a rest."
After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs.
Looking at her back, Huo Yunting always felt that her reaction and attitude were a little cold, and he couldn't help but frowned.
Did she know that I accompanied Chi Xuan to have an abortion?
Thinking of this possibility, a sense of panic suddenly arose in his heart, and Huo Yunting immediately called Ke Ning.
"Has the news about me accompanying Chi Xuan to the hospital today been blocked?!"
After several seconds, Ke Ning's cautious voice finally came, "Mr. Huo, I wanted to tell you about this, but I was so busy that I forgot... You and Chi Xuan were photographed together in the obstetrics and gynecology department by paparazzi, and this matter has spread throughout Chengdu..."
Huo Yunting's expression suddenly turned extremely cold, "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yunting couldn't help but feel regretful and angry for his own cleverness.
Chi Muzhen already knew everything. The last question she asked him was to give him a chance to explain himself, but he was so smart that he thought he had kept it a secret.
After staying on the sofa for a while, he decided to go upstairs to talk things out with Chi Muzhen.
Walking to the door of Chi Muzhen's bedroom, he mustered up the courage to knock on the door and whispered, "Zhenzhen, I have something to tell you. Can you open the door?"
Chi Muzhen's voice soon came from inside the door, "It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Hearing the indifference in her tone, Huo Yunting suddenly felt a little panicked.
"No, this matter is very important and must be said now."
After a while, Chi Muzhen opened the door, "What's the matter?"
"Today, I accompanied Chi Xuan to the hospital."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Chi Muzhen looking at him with a half-smile, "How come I didn't know you were so enthusiastic? If I hadn't known, I would have thought Chi Xuan was pregnant with your child."
"Zhenzhen, listen to my explanation. You know that grandma and my mom were captured by Huo Tianyi before. During the days Huo Tianyi locked them in the basement, it was Chi Xuan who secretly brought them food, which is how they survived. This time, it was Chi Xuan who tipped off the police and rescued them, so I owe her a favor!"
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "I owe her a favor so I have to accompany her to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a prenatal checkup?! And it was photographed by paparazzi and became public knowledge?!"
Huo Yunting's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. "No, she said she didn't want to keep the baby in her belly, but she didn't dare to go to the hospital alone, so she asked me to go with her."
Chi Muzhen was silent for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said, "I understand your behavior, but I don't agree with it. I also gave you a chance to explain. If you didn't know that this matter had been exposed by the paparazzi, would you have kept it a secret from me forever?"
"No, I just don't know how to tell you. I'm afraid it will affect our relationship."
Chi Muzhen just found it funny. "You're afraid it will affect our relationship, so you lied to me? Should I still thank you?!"
Huo Yunting pursed his lips tightly, "Zhenzhen, I promise you, you're the only one I love right now. I really didn't handle this matter properly, and it won't happen again."
"It's too late today, and you're tired all day. Go back and rest first."
Seeing that she was about to close the door, Huo Yunting quickly reached out to hold it.
"Zhenzhen, you're still mad at me? Right?"
Chi Muzhen raised her eyes and looked at him, "Shouldn't I be angry?"
Huo Yunting was speechless. Today's incident was indeed a case of him being too clever and shooting himself in the foot.
"Okay, go to bed early and we'll talk again tomorrow morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Muzhen closed the door.
The next morning, when Huo Yunting got up, he found that Chi Muzhen had already left the house, obviously avoiding him.
On the other side, Chi Muzhen had already arrived at the hospital.
Because she was locked up in a damp basement and had poor food, Mrs. Huo's leg disease relapsed and she had to use a wheelchair during this period.
When she saw Chi Muzhen, her eyes were full of surprise.
"Zhenbao, you're here!"
Chi Muzhen handed over the wontons in her hand and said with a smile, "Grandma, these are the Xuji small wontons you wanted."
"Hahaha, I knew you understood me the best."
Old Mrs. Huo smiled from ear to ear, her eyes full of joy.
"Grandma, I was too busy at the company yesterday. When I got off work, I found out you were already asleep, so I didn't come to see you. Are you angry?"
"How come you're so unfamiliar after just not seeing each other for a while?! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today. How could I care about those trivial things?"
Hearing this, Chi Muzhen hugged Mrs. Huo and said coquettishly, "I knew that grandma loves me the most!"
"Are you going to work later?"
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Well, there's still more than an hour left, I can stay with you for a while."
"Okay, I'm just worried about delaying your work. By the way, where's Yun Ting? Why didn't he come with you?"
The smile on her face faded a little. "He was still sleeping when I got up, and he came back very late yesterday, so I didn't wake him up."
Noticing that she was in a low mood, Mrs. Huo didn't ask any more questions.
She had previously interfered in the relationship between Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen, which had caused the two to drift further and further apart, and eventually even led to divorce. Now that they were starting over, she felt that it would be best to just let nature take its course.
After chatting with Mrs. Huo for a while, Chi Muzhen went to work.
Huo Yunting came over at around eight o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that Mrs. Huo had recovered well and her complexion was not as bad as before, Huo Yunting's complexion looked better.
"Grandma, the doctor said you can go home and recuperate after a few more days in the hospital."
Mrs. Huo looked at him and said calmly, "Let's not talk about my business for now. Yun Ting, is there something wrong between you and Zhen Bao?"
