Chapter 31 Urgent Need
Chi Xuan wanted to see an expression of anger and jealousy on Chi Muzhen's face, but she was disappointed. The other party just looked at her calmly from beginning to end, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
She sneered and looked at Chi Muzhen with contempt, "Do you think that just by pretending to be magnanimous you can make Brother Yun Ting fall in love with you?! Don't dream!"
Chi Muzhen looked calm and said slowly: "Chi Xuan, you are so pitiful."
"What did you say?!"
Chi Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and her eyes were filled with anger and disbelief.
Chi Muzhen actually dared to say that she was pitiful!
"Isn't it? All your topics revolve around Huo Yunting, as if your life has no meaning apart from Huo Yunting."
Seeing Chi Xuan now, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but wonder if she had been seen the same way in the eyes of others over the past three years, pitiful and sad.
"Chi Muzhen, you are the pitiful one. Even though your parents took you back to the Chi family, no one in the Chi family cares about you. Even your husband doesn't like you, so you are the pitiful one!"
Chi Muzhen smiled. In the past, she might have dreamed of getting some love from the Chi family and Huo Yunting, but now she no longer cared.
The most important thing is to love yourself. If you want to be cared for by others, you will only fall into a vicious circle of self-affirmation.
"Whatever you say, if you can persuade Huo Yunting to divorce me, I might even thank you!"
After saying that, Chi Muzhen turned around and left, but when he reached the corner, he suddenly stopped.
Huo Yunting was tall and looked down at her, his dark eyes filled with incomprehensible emotions.
Chi Muzhen's heart skipped a beat. Huo Yunting had always disliked her talking about divorce.
Just when she thought Huo Yunting was going to get angry, Huo Yunting suddenly turned around and left.
Noticing that he was angry, Chi Muzhen frowned, but ultimately did not chase after him.
As soon as she returned to the living room, Chi Zhen walked up to her and whispered, "Your grandma is in the side hall and wants to talk to you. Please go over there."
Chi Muzhen nodded and turned to walk towards the side hall.
This time, Mrs. Chi's attitude towards her was completely different from before, and there was a kind smile on her face.
"Mu Zhen is here, come and sit next to grandma!"
Chi Muzhen walked to a seat one seat away from Old Madam Chi and sat down. She said calmly, "Grandma, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Mrs. Chi said a few polite words before changing the subject, "You've been married to the Huo family for three years. Since Huo Yunting treats you well, you should seize the opportunity and have a child with him. That way, no one can shake your position!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chi Muzhenyan's eyes. Before this, the Chi family wanted her to divorce Huo Yunting immediately and let Huo Yunting marry Chi Xuan.
She didn't expect his expression to change so quickly, and she had to admire him.
"Grandma, I came here this time because I have something to tell you."
"What's up?"
"I plan to divorce Huo Yunting."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chi’s smile froze on her face, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
"Mu Zhen, grandma thought you were a smart kid, how could you say such stupid things!"
Chi Muzhen looked at her calmly and said slowly, "My divorce from Huo Yunting will only benefit the Chi family. Compared to me, who only returned to the Chi family at the age of sixteen, if Chi Xuan marries Huo Yunting, she will definitely be able to help the Chi family more wholeheartedly."
Mrs. Chi didn't expect Chi Muzhen to say it so directly. She was silent for a while before speaking: "Are you serious?"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "Of course it's true. He has been thinking about Chi Xuan in his heart for the past three years. I can see it clearly. As long as the Chi family is willing to step in, I agree to divorce Huo Yunting."
Old Mrs. Chi was still somewhat skeptical. She didn't believe that Chi Muzhen would give up Huo Yunting and the Huo family's wealth.
"Let me think about this matter. After all, Huo Yunting's opinion is the most important!"
After hearing this, Chi Muzhen realized that Old Lady Chi was playing Tai Chi with her. She wanted Chi Xuan to marry him, but was afraid of offending Huo Yunting.
"Grandma, please take your time to think about it."
She's not in a hurry anyway.
When she returned to the living room, Huo Yunting was the only one in the huge living room. He was sitting on the sofa and looking at her with a cold expression.
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but frown. Chi Zhen wished he could hug Huo Yunting's strong thigh tightly, so how could he disappear?
"Where did you go just now?"
As soon as Huo Yunting opened his mouth, the temperature in the entire living room dropped several degrees.
When he heard what Chi Muzhen said in the garden just now, he held his breath and originally planned to wait for Chi Muzhen to come and apologize to him.
She just ran away without a trace, and Huo Yunting's anger accumulated more and more!
Chi Muzhen looked indifferent as she walked over to sit opposite him and said, "I went to chat with my grandma. Where are the Chi family members?"
"I don't know. Don't you think you should explain what you just said in the garden?"
Chi Muzhen looked up and met Huo Yunting's gaze. His eyes were filled with anger and he was obviously still angry.
"I think what I just said should be easy to understand. Is there anything else that needs to be explained?"
"Chi Muzhen!"
Seeing that Huo Yunting was really angry, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "I came back today to eat. I don't want to quarrel with you."
Huo Yunting sneered, "If you don't want to argue, then stop saying things I don't like to hear!"
"knew."
At worst, she could just say it later where he couldn't hear her.
The two fell silent, and no one spoke again.
Soon, Chi Zhen walked into the living room with a bottle of expensive red wine and said to Huo Yunting in a slightly flattering tone, "Mr. Huo, I went to the wine cellar to get out the Lafite that I have treasured for many years. Mr. Huo, please do me the honor of having a drink tonight!"
Logically speaking, Chi Zhen is Huo Yunting's father-in-law. Even if he wants to please him, it should be Huo Yunting who pleases Chi Zhen.
But Huo Yunting doesn't take his wife seriously at all, and the Chi family needs to rely on the Huo family for survival, so the current situation has arisen.
Chi Muzhen had no feelings for Chi Zhen. She looked at him indifferently, with no emotion changing in her eyes.
"Boss Chi, I'm afraid that won't work. I drove here today."
Chi Zhen quickly said: "What's the big deal? I'll ask the driver at home to take you there, or you can just stay here tonight."
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, not knowing what he was thinking about. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Dinner was quickly served and the servants came over to invite everyone to eat.
I don’t know if it was intentional, but Chi Zhen arranged Chi Xuan to sit on Huo Yunting’s left, and Chi Muzhen to sit on Huo Yunting’s right.
During the meal, Chi Xuan saw Huo Yunting drinking and picked up some food for him from time to time.
"Brother Yunting, this is your favorite spareribs."
"Brother Yunting, this glutinous rice lotus root made by our chef is delicious, you should try it."
"Brother Yun Ting..."
Chi Xuan seemed like she never got tired and kept talking to Huo Yunting.
Chi Muzhen on the side was not angry either. Instead, she looked at the two of them as if she was enjoying a good show. Chi Xuan looked at Huo Yunting with eyes that were almost tearing. If there weren't so many people here, Chi Muzhen wondered if she would have pounced on him directly.
Just as she was thinking about that scene, Huo Yunting suddenly picked up a piece of braised pork for her.
"Eat more. You're too thin. It's uncomfortable to hold you."
In an instant, everyone at the table looked at her.
Especially Chi Xuan, the look in her eyes was so cold that it seemed as if she wanted to eat her!
