Chapter 293: Duplicity
Seeing that Mrs. Huo remained silent, Huo Yunting continued, "If we keep giving in, they will only think that the Huo family is easy to bully, and they will become even more unscrupulous in the future. So we can't give in at all."
Facing her grandson's determined gaze, even though Mrs. Huo was heartbroken, she did not submit the secret key again.
"By the way, where's Zhenbao? Why don't I see her?"
Hearing this, Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with loneliness, and he whispered, "I have broken up with her."
Mrs. Huo was shocked. "I just saw you book all the advertising screens in Rongcheng to propose to her not long ago. How come you broke up after just a few days?"
"Grandma, please stop asking me. This is my problem."
Mrs. Huo snorted coldly, "Of course it's your fault. Zhenbao, who is such a good-tempered person, couldn't stand it anymore and broke up with you. You must have done something unforgivable!"
Huo Yunting had a cold face and did not respond, but the low pressure emanating from his body showed that he was in a very bad mood.
"Since you two have broken up, I will start introducing blind dates to Zhenbao tomorrow. You don't know how to cherish her, but there are many people who do."
With that, Mrs. Huo stood up and was about to leave.
Seeing that she hadn't even left the bedroom when she started calling her poker friends to ask them to introduce their own men of the right age to Chi Muzhen, Huo Yunting finally lost his patience and said, "Grandma, don't go too far!"
Hearing her grandson's angry voice, Mrs. Huo put down her phone and turned to look at him with dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong with me? You guys broke up, so I can't introduce a man to Zhenbao?"
Huo Yunting's face darkened. "How do you know she wants to be in a relationship?!"
"It doesn't matter whether she wants it or not. I'll prepare for her first. What if she suddenly wants it one day? Women's minds change the fastest. She may like you today, but not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. What's more, you have a bad temper and are inconsiderate. Besides being good-looking and rich, you have nothing else to offer!"
Huo Yunting: "..."
He had begun to doubt whether Mrs. Huo had come to see him or to irritate him.
"Okay, go play more cards if you have nothing to do. We will handle the matter between her and me ourselves."
Mrs. Huo sneered, "Deal with it?! What else can you do besides making Zhenbao angry?"
Huo Yunting instantly felt the pain in his waist worsen. He gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, I won't let him be with another man. If anyone dares to covet her, I will make him regret coming into this world!"
Mrs. Huo rolled her eyes at him unhappily. "I think it's a good idea for Zhenbao to break up with you. You really don't deserve her."
Although Huo Yunting is gifted in business and is indeed very capable, he is a complete mess when it comes to dealing with emotional issues. Any woman who is with him will suffer.
"Whether she deserves it or not, she can only be with me for the rest of her life!"
"Don't be so sure. Zhenbao might soon realize that she's happier without you."
"Whose grandma are you anyway?"
Mrs. Huo said righteously, "Just because I'm your grandmother doesn't stop me from disliking you!"
After successfully making Huo Yunting angry, Mrs. Huo left contentedly.
This kind of man needs to know his own worth so that he will treat his wife well in the future.
After getting in the car, Mrs. Huo said directly: "Take me to Zhenbao! I haven't seen Zhenbao for a long time."
Half an hour later, Mrs. Huo got out of the car and saw Chi Muzhen's villa. She couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, Zhenbao is living a better life after leaving that brat!"
She walked to the door and rang the doorbell. When Chi Muzhen opened the door and saw that it was Mrs. Huo, surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Grandma, why are you here?"
Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "I heard you live here now, so I came to see you."
"Come in quickly."
Old Mrs. Huo followed Chi Muzhen in, sat down on the sofa and looked at the layout of the living room. Chi Muzhen liked a warm style, which formed a sharp contrast with the monotonous black and white colors in Huo Yunting's room.
Chi Muzhen made a cup of tea for Mrs. Huo and said a little embarrassedly: "Grandma, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare anything."
"No need to prepare anything, Zhenbao, take a seat too. I just came to see you."
After Chi Muzhen sat down opposite Mrs. Huo, she slowly spoke: "Zhenbao, I heard that you broke up with Yun Ting?"
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Muzhen nodded, "Well, did Mr. Huo tell you?"
"That kid was seriously injured. I went to see him and asked him why you weren't here. He said you didn't want him anymore. He looked so pitiful, but I don't sympathize with him at all. He must have done something to make you sad, so you abandoned him. He deserves it!"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips, and a hint of worry flashed across her eyes unconsciously.
She didn't expect Huo Yunting to be really injured. She thought he and Ke Ning were colluding to act.
"Grandma, how come Mr. Huo got injured suddenly?"
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Mrs. Huo knew that she still had feelings for Huo Yunting. She secretly sighed that the brat didn't know what kind of blessing he had in his previous life to make Chi Muzhen fall in love with him.
"Don't worry about him. He recently offended someone and the other party might want to retaliate against him.
By the way, since you broke up, I happen to have some photos of young talents here. Take a look and if you see any that you like, I can introduce you to them!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Huo handed the phone to Chi Muzhen, on which was a photo of a man in a suit.
"Grandma, I don't plan to have a relationship recently. I want to focus on my career first."
"I can handle both my career and my love life. Even if Yun Ting gets better, I'll let him go on a blind date. Otherwise, seeing how he looks, he'll still want to pester you!"
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, ignoring the needle-like pain in her heart, and said with a forced smile: "Then grandma, please take care of Mr. Huo first. I'm not in a hurry."
Mrs. Huo nodded thoughtfully. "That's fine. If you want to talk, tell me anytime and I'll arrange it for you right away."
"Okay." Chi Muzhen agreed casually, somewhat absent-mindedly.
Old Mrs. Huo sat for a while and finally got up and left.
"Zhenbao, come and see me at Heyuan anytime you're free. Whether you're with Yunting or not, I'll always treat you as my own granddaughter!"
"Okay, grandma, tell me when you get home."
"Um."
After Mrs. Huo left, Chi Muzhen returned to the living room, picked up her phone and opened the chat box between herself and Huo Yunting.
I just typed "Have you treated your wound?", hesitated for a while, and deleted it.
She held the phone, entered and deleted the message over and over again, but in the end, she sent nothing.
Just as I was about to close the chat box, Huo Yunting sent a question mark.
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and replied to his message.
[What's up?]
【I saw that your input was always displayed on your end, so I thought you were busy.】
Chi Muzhen bit her lower lip, feeling ashamed of having her secrets exposed.
But soon, she realized something.
Huo Yunting kept seeing that she was typing. Does that mean that he was also looking at their chat box, hesitating whether to send her a message?
