Chapter 36: Smile
He was wearing casual clothes today, which was very different from his usual suit and tie appearance, but he still exuded a cold and unapproachable aura.
Chi Muzhen looked at him and then looked away calmly.
When Grandma Zhang, the housekeeper of Heyuan, saw Chi Muzhen, she smiled kindly and said, "Young Madam is here. The old lady has been waiting for you for a long time."
Grandma Zhang has been taking care of Old Madam Huo. Although they are now master and servant, they are actually more like sisters.
Chi Muzhen smiled and handed over the pastry in her hand.
"Grandma Zhang, this is your favorite osmanthus cake, bought from your favorite store, and also the cloud cake that grandma likes."
Grandma Zhang took the osmanthus cake and said with a smile, "Thank you, Madam. I'll put it on a plate and send it to the old lady to try. She has been longing for this for a long time."
"Okay, I'll go see grandma first."
When I walked into the living room, Mrs. Huo was instructing the servants to put Chi Muzhen's favorite snacks on the table.
"Zhenbao likes watermelon candy the most, so put it in the front, and the little biscuit in the front as well..."
Chi Muzhen couldn't help but smile. Her grandma still treated her like a child.
"Grandma, you prepared so much, how can I finish it all by myself?"
Mrs. Huo turned around in surprise, "Zhenbao, you're here! If you can't finish your meal, I'll ask them to pack it up for you to take home and enjoy slowly."
Chi Muzhen walked up to Mrs. Huo, took her hand, and said with a smile, "Don't be busy, sit down and let's chat."
"good!"
As soon as the two of them sat down, Mrs. Huo quickly looked at Chi Muzhen and found that her chin was a little sharper than the last time she came. A look of heartache flashed in her eyes.
"Why are you losing weight again? I heard Yun Ting say you found a job. If it's too tiring, just quit. Yun Ting can support you with what he earns. If that doesn't work out, grandma still has some private money. I'll give it all to you!"
Chi Muzhen shook her head. "I'm not tired. I have nothing to do at home anyway."
Seeing her insistence, Mrs. Huo didn't continue to persuade her, "Okay, then if you feel tired, just quit. Don't make yourself too hard."
"Yeah, I know!"
While the two were talking, Huo Yunting walked into the living room and sat down opposite them.
Although he didn't interrupt their conversation, his presence alone made it impossible to ignore him.
Old Mrs. Huo also noticed that after Huo Yunting came to the living room, the smile on Chi Muzhen's face faded a little.
After living for so many years, how could she not see that the two were arguing?
"Yun Ting, I just asked the servants to squeeze some juice in the kitchen. Go and see why it hasn't been served yet."
After Huo Yunting left, Mrs. Huo looked at Chi Muzhen and said, "Zhenbao, what's going on between you two? Did Yunting bully you?"
Chi Muzhen didn't expect Mrs. Huo to be so perceptive. She smiled and said, "No, grandma, don't worry."
"If Yun Ting bullies you, tell me, I will definitely not let him off!"
"Well, I know that grandma treats me the best."
Soon, Huo Yunting came back with some juice. After placing it on the table, he looked at Mrs. Huo and said, "I'm going to the study to deal with the documents."
Mrs. Huo glanced at him sideways and said unhappily, "What did you tell me? Tell your wife!"
He is so tactless, no wonder Chi Muzhen quarreled with him.
Noticing Huo Yunting's gaze on her, Chi Muzhen lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Mr. Huo, grandma was just joking. Go and do your work. Don't worry about me."
Noticing her indifference towards him, Huo Yunting's eyes flashed with coldness. Without saying anything else, he turned and left.
Not until Huo Yunting disappeared from her sight did Mrs. Huo turn to look at Chi Muzhen, "Zhenbao, when do you and Yunting plan to have a child?"
Chi Muzhen was drinking juice and almost choked when she heard this.
After swallowing the juice with great effort, she put down the cup and whispered, "Grandma, we don't have any plans for this at the moment."
Mrs. Huo sighed and spoke with pity: "Chi Xuan has returned to China. I was worried that you would be wronged. If you had a child, Yun Ting might change his mind."
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "Grandma, if I need to rely on the child to tie him down, then I would be too pathetic. I will not let myself fall into such a situation."
"You saved Yun Ting's life and healed his leg. No matter what, I will only recognize you as my granddaughter-in-law!"
Chi Xuan wants to enter the Huo family, unless she dies!
After hesitating for a while, Chi Muzhen looked at Mrs. Huo seriously and said, "Grandma, I've actually been thinking a lot recently. If one day Mr. Huo and I divorce, I hope you can support me."
Shock flashed in Mrs. Huo's eyes. She didn't expect that their relationship had deteriorated to this point.
"Did Yun Ting do something to offend you?!"
"No, I just want to tell you first, so that you can be mentally prepared if it really comes to this."
Old Mrs. Huo didn't speak for a long time, and when she spoke again, her mood was obviously much lower.
"I see."
Because of this incident, Mrs. Huo was still in a depressed mood until dinner time, and she was displeased with Huo Yunting in many ways.
After dinner, Mrs. Huo wanted to let the two of them stay in Heyuan for one night, but Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting had to go to work tomorrow, so she had to let them go back.
Before leaving, Mrs. Huo called Huo Yunting aside and said through gritted teeth, "If you dare to let Zhenbao down, you won't get a single cent of Huo's shares!"
Although Huo Yunting is the person in charge of the Huo family, in fact, all the shares of the Huo family are in the hands of Mrs. Huo.
Three years ago, Huo Yunting agreed to marry Chi Muzhen because Mrs. Huo promised to give him 80% of her shares in five years.
However, Chi Muzhen didn't know about this agreement between the two.
Huo Yunting's eyes grew colder, and he said in a deep voice, "I understand."
Chi Muzhen didn't know what Mrs. Huo said to Huo Yunting, but she only knew that when Huo Yunting came back, the coldness around him was even worse.
She glanced at him indifferently and looked away, saying goodbye to Mrs. Huo with a smile.
"Grandma, I'll come to see you next time!"
Mrs. Huo looked reluctant, "Well, if Yun Ting has wronged you, you must tell me, I won't let him go!"
Seeing that Mrs. Huo stood by her side unconditionally, Chi Muzhen felt a warm current in her heart and nodded, "Okay, it's windy outside, you should go in quickly."
"I'll watch you leave and then I'll go back."
Chi Muzhen didn't say anything else. She waved, turned around, got into the car and left. Huo Yunting, who was ignored the whole time, had a dark face.
Mrs. Huo looked at him unhappily, her eyes full of disdain, "Alright, go away!"
After saying that, Mrs. Huo didn't bother to pay attention to him and turned directly into the living room.
Huo Yunting: "..."
Is he being disliked by two people at the same time?
As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, Chi Muzhen was stopped by Huo Yunting.
A black Maybach stopped in front of her car. Huo Yunting opened the door and got out, walking towards her step by step.
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from him, Chi Muzhen frowned, lowered the car window, looked at him coldly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Huo Yunting was silent for two seconds, then said in a deep voice, "Chi Muzhen, let's talk."
