Chapter 299: Top of the List
The car window rolled down, and Huo Yunting's resolute face appeared before her.
"I just wanted to make sure you got home safely and leave right away."
"No, we don't have any relationship now. You don't need to worry about whether I'm safe or not."
"Zhenzhen!"
Huo Yunting's eyes grew colder as he looked at her and said slowly, "I know you're still angry. I won't interfere with your life anymore, but there are some things I won't back down on, and ensuring your safety is one of them."
Chi Muzhen frowned and was about to speak when Huo Yunting started the car and left.
After returning home, Chi Muzhen's irritability did not decrease at all.
She had clearly realized that she was beginning to soften her heart towards Huo Yunting, which was not a good sign.
After thinking about it all night, she finally decided to agree to Qi Yunzhe's request.
Firstly, she could repay his favor, and secondly, she could make Huo Yunting face the reality that she would no longer be with him.
Soon, the news that Chi Muzhen and Qi Yunzhe were together spread throughout Chengdu.
When Shen Tian saw Qi Yunzhe coming to pick up Chi Muzhen from get off work, her mouth opened so wide in shock that an egg could almost fit in it.
"Zhenzhen, tell me, what I saw wasn't real! Are you and Qi Yunzhe...really together?!"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and whispered, "I'll explain this to you in a few days."
After getting in the car, Qi Yunzhe's gentle voice came.
"What do you want to eat tonight?"
Chi Muzhen looked at him and said, "Mr. Qi, isn't this different from what we said? Didn't you say before that we were just pretending to be a couple?"
"Yeah, but it's normal for couples to go out to eat together after get off work. If we don't interact at all this month, do you think others will think we're really dating?"
Seeing Qi Yunzhe's calm expression, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but reflect whether he was really overthinking it.
"The most important thing for you now is to think about what to eat tonight."
"I don't care, just do what you like."
Qi Yunzhe raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, "Are you sure?"
"Um."
Half an hour later, Qi Yunzhe took Chi Muzhen into a food stall.
Chi Muzhen frowned and looked at Qi Yunzhe and said, "You don't have to force yourself to eat street food for me."
Qi Yunzhe wiped her chair and poured her a glass of water before raising an eyebrow and saying, "Do you like eating at food stalls too? I really do. When I was in college, I often went out for supper with my roommates. After I took over Qi's, I rarely came here anymore."
"Well, I didn't expect you to like it too... I'm quite surprised."
As he spoke, Qi Yunzhe handed the menu to Chi Muzhen and said, "Let's see what to eat."
Chi Muzhen ordered a few dishes and returned the menu to him, "Take a look and see if you need anything else."
Qi Yunzhe looked down at the menu and quickly ticked the dishes he wanted to eat.
Seeing how skillfully he ordered dishes, I finally believed that he really liked eating at food stalls.
After dinner, the two took a walk along the street.
During the conversation, Chi Muzhen discovered that Qi Yunzhe had many similarities with himself. For example, they both liked Van Gogh's paintings, and Qi Yunzhe could also give different insights.
As they chatted, they unknowingly reached past ten o'clock in the evening. The two of them had walked a long way along the road, several kilometers away from where they parked.
It was obviously unrealistic to walk back, so Qi Yunzhe said with a guilty look on his face, "I'll take a taxi to take you back."
"What about your car?"
"I'll have my assistant drive it back tomorrow."
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Okay."
Just as the two were about to take a taxi, a black Maybach suddenly stopped by the roadside.
The driver's door was pushed open, Huo Yunting got out of the car with a cold expression and walked straight to Chi Muzhen.
"Zhenzhen, come back with me."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Chi Muzhen's eyes, but before she could say anything, Qi Yunzhe had already blocked her way.
"Yun Ting, Mu Zhen is my girlfriend now, please stay away from her."
"Oh!"
A sneer escaped from Huo Yunting's throat, and he looked at Qi Yunzhe with a hint of anger.
"Qi Yunzhe, are you sure you want to ruin our brotherhood of more than ten years?!"
Qi Yunzhe didn't say anything, but just confronted him coldly and answered him with silence.
"Okay, from today on, we're done. We'll just be strangers when we meet again!"
Chi Muzhen frowned but didn't say anything.
"good."
As Qi Yunzhe finished speaking, the temperature around him dropped rapidly, instantly reaching freezing point.
Huo Yunting didn't say anything else. He looked directly at Chi Muzhen who was standing behind Qi Yunzhe and said, "Come back with me!"
Meeting his cold and angry eyes, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips.
"Mr. Huo, my boyfriend will take me back."
Huo Yunting's eyes were devoid of any warmth as he spoke word by word, "Are you sure you want the Qi Group to go bankrupt because of you?"
Qi Yunzhe's expression changed. He looked at Huo Yunting and said coldly, "Huo Yunting, the Qi family is not made of paper. They won't go bankrupt easily."
"Then you can try it!"
The two stared at each other with cold eyes, with no intention of giving in.
"That's enough! Besides threatening me like this, what else can you do?!"
Chi Muzhen took a deep breath to suppress the anger in her heart, looked at Huo Yunting with disappointment and said, "I will not be threatened by you again. If you insist on bankrupting Qi Corporation, I will sell MY to inject capital into Qi Corporation, and I will also sell all of my 10% stake in Huo Corporation to Qi Corporation!"
Huo Yunting never expected that the shares he returned to her after taking back the Huo Group would be used by her in such a way.
"Chi Muzhen! You're just taking advantage of the fact that I like you, so you dare to act so recklessly!"
"Yes! Since you know, you can choose not to like me, rather than torturing each other!" Chi Muzhen's eyes were red, and she looked at Huo Yunting coldly.
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "Chi Muzhen, I don't need you!"
He turned and left directly. The Maybach sped away and soon disappeared from their sight.
Qi Yunzhe turned to look at Chi Muzhen and whispered, "I'll take you back."
Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes, and it was impossible to tell what emotion she was expressing.
"No need, I can just take a taxi myself."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen hailed a taxi and left.
In the next few days, Huo Yunting did not appear in front of Chi Muzhen again, but the news that he had started a blind date spread throughout Rongcheng, and his blind date requirements were also discussed.
1. Don’t choose someone with the surname Chi.
2. Don’t have long hair.
3. Don’t be 23 years old.
After reading the request, Shen Tian almost laughed out loud and called Chi Muzhen directly.
"Zhenzhen, Huo Yunting's blind date requirements were almost as good as writing your ID number. Is Huo Yunting deliberately trying to piss you off?"
Chi Muzhen frowned and said coldly, "You like gossip so much, how about I set up a gossip group and let you gossip every day?"
"Hahaha, that's not necessary. I just heard that many celebrities went to get their hair cut after learning about his blind date requirements. The hair salons in Chengdu have been packed these past few days."
"Okay, I have something else to do, so that's it for now."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen threw the phone aside, not knowing what to feel.
