Chapter 316: When in Rome, do as the Romans do
So it was just what he wanted that he couldn't survive in the entertainment industry, as this would force him to go back and inherit the Shi family.
Brother Cheng sighed and said slowly: "Although you have terminated your contract with the company, if you have any problems in the future, you can always come to me."
Shi Yiheng nodded, "Thank you, Brother Cheng."
"I've left the plane ticket on the table for you. I still have work to do, so I won't send you off."
"Um."
After Brother Cheng left, Shi Yiheng was the only one left in the villa.
He drank the coffee in one gulp, went to the kitchen to wash the cup, turned around to look at the villa whose decoration style was the same as Chi Muzhen's home, picked up his plane ticket and luggage and turned to leave.
One day, they will meet again.
When Chi Muzhen saw the news that Shi Yiheng announced his retirement, she was shocked and immediately sent him a message.
[Shi Yiheng, is your withdrawal from the entertainment industry related to Huo Yunting?]
It took a while for the other side to reply.
"No, you should know that my biological father is the president of the Shi family in Beijing. He is in poor health now, so I will announce my retirement only if he asks me to return and inherit the Shi family."
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips. During the time she took care of Shi Yiheng, she knew that Shi Yiheng hated his father, whom he had never met, to the core. Whenever he mentioned his father, he would lose control of his emotions. She always thought that Shi Yiheng would never have anything to do with his father again, but she didn't expect that he would choose to give up his acting career and return to Beijing to inherit the family business.
After a moment of silence, she sent a line of words.
【Then I wish you a safe journey! 】
After closing the chat interface between the two, Chi Muzhen received a call from Shen Tian.
"Zhenzhen, all the trending searches and entries about you online have disappeared. Was it Shi Yiheng who did this?"
"Probably not. It's probably Huo Yunting."
Only he could suppress the news so quickly.
"I didn't expect that he finally did something human!"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Shen Tian's tone, Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and decided to tell her about her divorce from Huo Yunting.
"Tiantian, he and I are divorced. You don't have to call him a scumbag in the future. Actually, if you think about it carefully, we are both responsible for this situation."
If both sides were willing to give each other some trust, they would not have come to this point.
"Holy crap! Really?! He was so obsessed with you before, how could he agree to a divorce so easily?! How could I not believe it!"
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but smile, "Really, the divorce certificate is in my hand now. If you don't believe me, I'll take a photo for you?"
After receiving the photo, Shen Tian was still a little bit incredulous, and it took her several minutes to convince herself to accept this fact.
"Since you're divorced, we have to go out and celebrate tonight!"
"Okay, whatever you want to eat, I'll treat you."
The moment she received the divorce certificate, Chi Muzhen felt a little sad, but more of a sense of relief. She and Huo Yunting were wrong from the beginning, and now things have been put right.
"I heard that Nanyuan has received a lot of king crabs recently. Let's go eat some crabs!"
"Okay, I'm going to get some sleep first. I drank too much last night. See you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Chi Muzhen lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.
The thought of Xiao Zhuan coming to Rongcheng kept coming to her mind, and then she thought about the fact that Huo Yunting and she had finally divorced. She felt so confused and didn't know how to calm down.
I finally fell asleep when the alarm clock rang.
Chi Muzhen looked at the time, lay down for a while, then resignedly got up, took a shower, changed clothes, put on some light makeup, and went out.
As soon as they arrived at the gate of Nanyuan, Shen Tian ran out and hugged Chi Muzhen.
"Zhenzhen, congratulations on being single again! I'll introduce you to some talented young men in a couple of days!"
"Forget it, I'm not interested in a relationship right now."
Shen Tian looked at her with regret, "You have such a beautiful face, it would be a pity not to fall in love."
“…”
"Forget it, let's go in. He still has Australian lobsters! We'll have two tonight! But tonight is my treat, so don't argue with me!"
Chi Muzhen was taken in by Chen Tian's arm. Chen Tian spoke with a nostalgic look about how delicious the seafood in this restaurant was. She described it vividly, and even Chi Muzhen, who didn't pay much attention to food, was aroused by her and couldn't wait to try it immediately to see how delicious it was.
They passed through the carved archway and saw two people coming towards them.
After seeing the face of the person on the left clearly, Chi Muzhen's heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly pulled Chen Tian to hide behind a rockery nearby.
Just as Shen Tian was about to speak, Chi Muzhen covered her mouth.
Chi Muzhen didn't let go of Chen Tian until their voices faded away.
"Zhenzhen, if you had let me go a little later, you could have come to my table tomorrow."
Chi Muzhen looked at Chen Tian a little embarrassedly, "Tiantian, I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now."
She didn't expect to meet Xiao Zhuan here.
Shen Tian raised an eyebrow, "Do you know those two people just now?"
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Yes, I knew him before."
"What do you mean we knew each other before? If we knew each other, then we knew each other. How could we not know each other now?"
"I guess I know her."
"Is there a feud?"
It was the first time she saw Chi Muzhen hiding from someone like this, and she guessed that he had offended the other person.
Chi Muzhen didn't want Shen Tian to continue asking, so she nodded randomly and said, "Well, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go in quickly."
Chen Tian smiled, and became more and more curious. In Rongcheng, is there anyone that Chi Muzhen is afraid of?
"Let's go."
At the entrance of Nanyuan, Xiao Zhuan finished his business with Mr. Huang and said with a smile, "Mr. Huang, you go first. I just saw someone I know and I'll go say hello to him later."
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, let's have a meal together before you leave. You must let me practice for you!"
"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Huang."
After seeing Mr. Huang off, Xiao Zhuan returned to his car with a smile.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Chi Muzhen and Shen Tian walked out of Nanyuan.
Wen Qinghe came to pick up Chen Tian. After watching the other party's car leave, Chi Muzhen was about to leave when a voice that seemed to be smiling but not smiling sounded behind him.
"Zhenzhen, it's been a few years since we last met, and you're pretending not to recognize me when you see me?"
Chi Muzhen's body stiffened for a moment, then he slowly turned around.
Seeing Xiao Zhuan standing a few steps away, looking at her with raised eyebrows, Chi Muzhen forced a smile.
"Third brother, what a coincidence, you are eating here too?"
"Unfortunately, I came to Rongcheng this time just to find you."
Chi Muzhen: "..."
Xiao Zhuan took two steps forward, looked at Chi Muzhen carefully, then frowned and said, "You've lost weight. The Chi family has not been good to you in the past few years."
Chi Muzhen bit her lower lip and said, "Third brother, I heard that you came to Rongcheng to expand the Xiao family's business."
This was the first time the two had met in seven years since Chi Muzhen returned to the Chi family.
Xiao Zhuan chuckled, "Do you think the Xiao family needs to come to Rongcheng to conduct business? Cooperating with Rongcheng's companies is just an excuse."
"Then what is your purpose in coming to Rongcheng?"
