Chapter 317: Learning from Others
Xiao Zhuan was somewhat helpless, "I really came here to look for you. Mom and Dad have been missing you a lot these past few years."
When mentioning Xiao's father and mother, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but feel sore in her eyes.
She turned her head and whispered, "Mom and Dad...are they okay?"
The Chi family originally abandoned her at the door of the orphanage. When she was five years old, Xiao Cheng, the second young master of the Xiao family, was kidnapped. She rescued him by accident. Later, the Xiao family adopted her and raised her until she was sixteen years old. When the Xiao family received news from the Chi family looking for their daughter who had been missing for many years, they asked her if she was willing to go back.
If she doesn't go back to the Chi family, she will always be the daughter of the Xiao family. If she goes back, they will not bother her again in the future.
Chi Muzhen thought about it for a long time and decided to return to the Chi family. After all, although Xiao's father and mother were good to her, they were not her biological parents.
She also wanted to go back and see what her biological parents looked like.
Unexpectedly, she met such a cold-hearted Chi family. She never felt the family affection she longed for, but instead felt calculated and indifferent.
Xiao turned and glanced at her, "If you care, why haven't you contacted them in the past few years?"
If they hadn't heard about Chi Muzhen's experience in the Chi family, they would not have known that their sister, whom they had always cherished like a treasure, was bullied like this in Rongcheng.
They originally planned to deal with the Chi family directly, but thinking that they were Chi Muzhen's relatives after all, Xiao's father and mother held back and asked Xiao Zhuan to go to Rongcheng first to see if Chi Muzhen was really not doing well, they would immediately bring her back to the capital.
Chi Muzhen bit her lower lip and said with some guilt: "When I left, my parents told me not to contact them anymore..."
Xiao Zhuan: "...they were just angry words, and you actually listened to them. How did your parents spoil you since you were a child? They never said a harsh word to you, and you just had to coax them and it would be over. I didn't expect you to be so cruel as to not contact them for so many years!
And you didn't even bother to tell the Chi and Huo families when you were bullied. Do you really consider us your family?!"
Facing the questioning in Xiao Zhuan's eyes, Chi Muzhen opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "It's because I treat you as family that I don't want to tell you these things, otherwise it will only make you worry."
"Okay, let's stop talking. Pack up your things and come back to the capital with me. As for your marriage with Huo Yunting, my parents will help you get a divorce."
If Chi Muzhen had stayed with them all the time, they would never have let her get married so early and suffer so much.
And in their opinion, Huo Yunting is not worthy of Chi Muzhen at all.
Only a man of the right age from the most powerful family in the capital is worthy of the little princess of their Xiao family.
Chi Muzhen shook her head. "No, it's enough to know that my parents are doing well. I have a company in Rongcheng and don't want to go to Beijing for the time being."
Xiao Zhuan frowned, "You still can't let go of Huo Yunting?"
They had also heard about Chi Muzhen running around for Huo Yunting's legs. It would have been fine if Huo Yunting was nice to her, but they didn't expect Huo Yunting to be so fickle. They would never let Chi Muzhen continue to be with Huo Yunting.
Seeing Xiao Zhuan's misunderstanding, Chi Muzhen quickly explained: "No, I have divorced him, but I don't want to go back to Beijing. I don't want to cause trouble for my parents anymore."
"We've never considered you a nuisance. I'll be staying in Chengdu for a while longer. Think about it carefully. Even if you don't want to live in Beijing, you should at least come back with me to see your parents, right? Now when they miss you, they still look at your sixteen-year-old photo. Are you willing to let them do this?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I understand. I will think about it carefully."
"Give me the phone."
Looking at Xiao Zhuan's open palm, Chi Muzhen was stunned for a moment, then slowly took out his cell phone and gave it to him.
"Third brother, what are you going to do?"
"Add your contact information."
His tone was not very nice, and Chi Muzhen couldn't help but feel embarrassed. When she left, she changed all her original contact information because she didn't want them to think that she wanted to establish a relationship with the Xiao family after returning to her own home.
After the two added each other as friends, Xiao Zhuan handed her the phone, walked to her and hugged her in his arms, then took out his phone and took a selfie of the two of them.
Chi Muzhen's lips were slightly open, her eyes full of surprise, and the photos taken looked a little cute.
Xiao Zhuan directly pulled Chi Muzhen into the family group, and then sent the selfie he had just taken to the group.
Xiao Zhuan: Successfully met with my younger sister!
As soon as the message was sent out, it shocked everyone.
Father Xiao: The last photo of Zhenzhen was taken when she was sixteen years old. Now the album can finally be updated!
Xiao's mother: My daughter is still the prettiest. When she returns to the capital, she will charm all the men!
Xiao He: Third brother, you lied to me and said you were going to Rongcheng for business, but it turned out you were going to see my younger sister! You're really too much!
Xiao Qi: Third brother added Zhenzhen to the group.
Xiao Cheng: Zhenzhen, welcome home!
As he said that, Xiao Cheng transferred a red envelope of 100,000 yuan to Chi Muzhen, which scared Chi Muzhen.
Zhenbao: Second brother, no need, I’m not short of money.
Father Xiao: If you don’t need it, that’s your business. What we give you is our heartfelt gift. Please accept it.
Father Xiao directly transferred one million to Chi Muzhen in the group.
Zhenbao: ...
After so many years, her father is still as wealthy as ever.
Several other people also quickly transferred money to Chi Muzhen, as if they were afraid of being outdone by others.
Chi Muzhen looked on the verge of tears and said to Xiao Zhuan who was standing beside her: "Third brother, I can't accept this money."
She hasn't had any contact with the Xiao family in the past few years, and she feels very sorry for the Xiao family's upbringing. How can she still accept their money?
Xiao Zhuan took the phone directly from her hand and collected all the money transferred to her in the group.
"Zhenzhen, remember, in our hearts, you will always be the daughter of the Xiao family, so don't feel guilty. If you don't accept her, do you believe that they won't be able to sleep in the capital tonight?"
Chi Muzhen felt somewhat helpless and had to silently decide in her heart that when she returned to Beijing to see them, she would prepare something that everyone liked and bring it with her.
"Okay, thank you, Third Brother."
Chi Muzhen said thank you again in the group, but was linked to the Xiao family members who said that she was now estranged from them. Chi Muzhen had no choice but to withdraw the thank you message, and only then did the Xiao family members calm down.
"Okay, stop talking. It's getting late. I'll take you home."
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Well, Third Brother, if it's inconvenient for you to stay in a hotel, you can go directly to my villa. I live alone anyway."
"No, I'll be out and about for the next while, meeting with some partners.
Before coming here, he was not optimistic about doing business in Chengdu, but after learning more about it, he found that the consumption level in Chengdu was not worse than that of first-tier cities, so he decided to do a thorough research and, if appropriate, open a branch in Chengdu in the future.
"All right."
After sending Chi Muzhen to Yushuwan, Chi Muzhen was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to take a taxi, so she asked him to drive away directly with her own car, since she had another car anyway.
Xiao Zhuan smiled and didn't refuse.
"Then I'll use your car while I'm in Rongcheng!"
"Okay, go back and be careful."
After Xiao Zhuan left, the smile on Chi Muzhen's face had not yet faded, but when she turned around, she bumped into a pair of cold eyes.
"Who is that man?!"
