Chapter 338: Heaven's Net Is Immaculate
"Mom, did you hear that my sister's funeral is today?"
Hearing this, Xu Rou's expression froze for a moment, and then she said coldly: "Don't worry about it. She will only make me angry if she is alive anyway."
Xu Rou handed the chicken soup to Chi Xuan and said, "Drink the chicken soup. It's been a few days since you gave birth to the child. Why hasn't anyone from the Huo family come to visit you? Mrs. Huo is not going to cheat on the 10% stake she promised you, is she?"
Chi Xuan's expression was unnatural for a moment. "Impossible. After all, I am the old lady's great-grandson. She will definitely keep her promise to me."
Seeing Chi Xuan's determined face, Xu Rou didn't say anything else, but she still felt a little strange.
Just as something flashed through her mind, Chi Xuan suddenly said, "By the way, has no one come to the old house?"
Speaking of this, Xu Rou's face lit up with smiles. "Didn't that little bastard get beaten up and become stupid? Everyone at the old house is busy looking for a doctor for him, hoping he can be cured!"
Chi Xuan's eyes flashed with coldness, and she spoke word by word, "Just pretend you don't know about this matter, and don't mention it to anyone in the future, otherwise we're finished."
Xu Rou nodded, "Don't worry, I won't say a word!"
…
Ever since Chi Muzhen's funeral, Huo Yunting seemed to live in the company. Every day he was either in meetings or looking at documents.
Many times when Ke Ning got off work, he saw Huo Yunting still working in the office. He couldn't help but try to persuade him, but Huo Yunting refused to listen.
Seeing that Huo Yunting was getting more and more haggard day by day, Ke Ning had no choice but to call Old Mrs. Huo over.
Huo Yunting looked at him coldly, "Ke Ning, who is the one who pays you?"
Ke Ning lowered his head guiltily. Before he could say anything, Mrs. Huo spoke up, "Yun Ting, Ke Ning is doing this for your own good. You shouldn't blame an employee like this, but give him a raise!"
Upon hearing this, Ke Ning agreed enthusiastically in his heart. Although the salary Huo Yunting offered him was already far higher than the market price, who would complain about having too much money?
Huo Yunting looked at Old Madam Huo indifferently, "Grandma, if you're here to persuade me, you can leave now."
Mrs. Huo asked Ke Ning to leave, then slowly walked over to sit down opposite Huo Yunting. With a look of sorrow on her face, she said, "Yunting, no matter how much you don't want to admit it, it's a fact that Zhenbao is gone. You should cheer up now..."
Before she could finish her words, Huo Yunting interrupted her with a calm expression, "Grandma, shouldn't I cheer up now?"
"If you ignore your body like this, your body will collapse in less than a month."
"I know what's going on."
Seeing that he obviously didn't listen, Mrs. Huo immediately became angry. "From now on, you must get off work on time and go back to Heyuan for dinner. You must live in Heyuan from now on. Otherwise, I won't eat either. I will stay here with you until you stay up as long as I do!"
Huo Yunting was somewhat helpless, "Grandma, please don't embarrass me..."
"Am I making things difficult for you? Yun Ting, you are making things difficult for yourself."
Huo Yunting gradually fell silent. After a long while, he slowly said, "But I don't know how else I can forget her except by doing this."
Whenever he thought about the fact that he couldn't save her, he felt like a knife was twisting his heart, making him feel like he was dying.
"Yun Ting, it's normal that you can't let go now. Don't force yourself to forget. Take a break during this period of time. As for the rest, leave it to time."
Huo Yunting lowered his eyes, his eyes bloodshot as he said, "I understand. I will return to Heyuan in the future."
After Mrs. Huo left, Huo Yunting called Ke Ning in.
Ke Ning originally thought that Huo Yunting was going to settle the score because he had called Old Madam Huo here, but he didn't expect Huo Yunting to just say with a cold expression, "Did you find Huo Tianyi?"
"We have a clue. Our people have already gone to look for him. We should be able to catch him in the next few days."
"I don't want a should, I want a yes."
"We will definitely catch him back within three days."
Huo Yunting nodded, "Well, let's go out."
After the office door closed, he picked up the document, but Chi Muzhen's face appeared in his mind again.
This time, he did not force himself to forget, but closed his eyes and let the longing overwhelm him.
After Chi Muzhen left, he realized that he actually liked her so much, loved her so much that he couldn't extricate himself and couldn't forget her for even a second.
In the evening, Huo Yunting returned to Heyuan.
Seeing Huo Jinsong was there too, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing. He just walked to the side and sat down in a daze.
Seeing his distraught look, Huo Jinsong couldn't help but say, "Yun Ting, go see your mother when you have time. She's determined to divorce me now. Please help me persuade her."
Huo Yunting turned his head and glanced at him, then said calmly, "The person she hates the most right now should be me. If I go, it will make her want a divorce even more."
Thinking of the disgusted look on Huo Yunting's face when Cheng Shumin filed for divorce, Huo Jinsong suddenly felt that what he said made sense.
"Forget it, I'm going back now. You should spend some time with your grandma."
A lot of things happened in the Huo family during this period.
Mrs. Huo's health has worsened because of this, and the doctor said she cannot be stimulated anymore.
After Huo Jinsong left, Old Mrs. Huo and Huo Yunting ate in silence.
Seeing that he was just stuffing food into his mouth mechanically, Mrs. Huo's eyes were filled with distress, but she could do nothing.
When she learned that Chi Muzhen had left, she couldn't accept it for a while, let alone Huo Yunting.
After dinner, Huo Yunting was about to leave when Mrs. Huo suddenly said, "Yunting, I'm planning to go see Zhenbao this Saturday... Do you want to come with me?"
Huo Yunting's back stiffened for a moment, then he said indifferently, "No need."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Looking at his back, Mrs. Huo's eyes gradually turned red.
"What can I do to make him less miserable?"
The servant beside her quickly lowered her head and said, "Old lady, the young master will figure it out after a while. He just can't accept the fact that Miss Chi is gone."
Old Mrs. Huo closed her eyes, thinking that it was Huo Tianyi who killed Chi Muzhen, and she wished she could immediately arrest Huo Tianyi and lock him up in the police station.
In the past, she could still persuade Huo Yunting to spare Huo Tianyi's life, but now, let alone Huo Yunting, she even wanted to kill Huo Tianyi herself.
"It's all my fault for not disciplining Tianyi well, which led to this situation today."
Mrs. Huo's tone was full of regret, but the servants didn't dare to speak and could only pretend not to hear.
The next afternoon, Ke Ning hurried into Huo Yunting's office with excitement on his face.
"Boss Huo, Huo Tianyi has been captured!"
Huo Yunting suddenly tightened his grip on the document and looked up at Ke Ning.
"Where is he?! Bring him here immediately!"
