Chapter 377: Swallowing the Fruit Whole
Su Baitian said unhappily, "When was I stubborn? I think he inherited his temperament from his mother!"
When mentioning Huo Pingting, a hint of nostalgia and tenderness flashed in Su Baitian's eyes, and his tough facial lines softened a lot.
If his parents had not deleted the text message that Huo Pingting sent him, and if he had shown up on time, he might have gone with Huo Pingting to a small county town where no one knew them and lived an ordinary and happy life.
Every time he thought of that possibility, he couldn't help but feel regret and pain in his heart.
He took off his glasses and looked like he had aged a dozen years.
Huo Yunting's face was gloomy when he walked out of Guancheng Mansion. He walked directly to the car, opened the door, got in, and said coldly: "Go back to the company."
Koning wanted to ask him if he wasn't going home, but seeing his gloomy face, he didn't say that in the end.
After returning to the company, Huo Yunting asked Ke Ning to leave and went directly to his office.
However, after opening the file, he couldn't read a single word. All he could think about were the words Su Baitian had just said to him.
Three years ago, when he found out that Su Baitian was his biological father and that the secret key was given to Huo Pingting by him, he took the secret key directly to the capital, returned it to him in person, and said that he would never recognize him in the future.
Although he developed the Huo family to the capital in the past three years, he and Su Baitian were like two parallel lines that did not intersect, avoiding each other.
He originally thought that Su Baitian had the same idea as him, but he didn't expect that he actually planned to hand over the Su family to him.
What a lunatic!
When thinking of those people from the Su family, disgust flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes. Everyone was calculating in their minds and eyes, thinking about how to get more of the Su family's property.
Such a family has long been rotten, and he doesn't want to get involved in this mess.
Late at night, Huo Yunting returned to the villa.
Only one downlight was on in the living room. Xiao Muzhen was sleeping on the sofa. Her long hair covered most of her face, revealing only her pink lips and delicate little chin. Her lips were slightly open as she moved with her breathing, like a delicious peach inviting people to pick them.
Huo Yunting squatted down and suddenly felt his throat tighten.
He walked lightly to Xiao Muzhen, squatted down beside her, and looked at her with infatuated eyes.
In his sleep, Xiao Muzhen realized that someone was staring at him, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the enlarged handsome face of Huo Yunting, he was immediately shocked.
"When did you come back? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Xiao Muzhen covered her rapidly beating heart. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have punched Huo Yunting in the face.
"I just came back and saw you sleeping soundly, so I didn't have the heart to wake you up."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
It's scary for you to just squat there and stare at me, okay?
Perhaps seeing the speechless look on her face, Huo Yunting touched his nose and changed the subject: "Did you fall asleep on the sofa just to wait for me?"
A flash of panic flashed across Xiao Muzhen's eyes, and then he said calmly: "No, I just fell asleep while watching TV."
"Then why is the TV off now?"
Seeing the inquiry in his eyes, Xiao Muzhen frowned and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Huo, you don't need to test me. I have no interest in you and I don't plan to develop feelings with you again. Tonight was really an accident. I'm going upstairs to sleep first."
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen pushed him away, put on her slippers and went straight upstairs.
Only when he returned to his room did Xiao Muzhen feel relieved.
What followed was regret. Why did I care about when he would come back for no reason and even fell asleep waiting for him downstairs?
There is no need to care about someone who will become a stranger in three months.
The next morning, Xiao Muzhen just got up and received a call from Xie Fu.
"Zhenzhen! It's urgent! Are you home now? I'll pick you up right away! You must help me with something!"
Hearing the anxiety in Xie Fu's voice, Xiao Muzhen hurriedly said, "What's the matter? Drive slowly, don't be anxious."
"A costume designer on the crew was in a car accident last night and broke his leg. He won't be able to go to the set for a month. You know that a single day of delay can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Could you please help me go to the set and see what parts of the costumes need to be modified..."
It won't take you very long, just two hours a day or so. I'll give you a 5% commission on the profits from the later episodes, how's that?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned, "But I still have to go to work now."
"I remember you're at Qingshang now, right? As long as you agree, I'll go negotiate with your boss right away!"
"Then you try it first. If Qingshang's people agree, I have no objection."
After all, you are helping a friend, and there will be dividends in the future.
"Okay, I'll hang up first. Wait for my news!"
Soon, Xie Fu persuaded Qingshang's general manager to drive to Jinshuwan to pick up Xiao Muzhen.
After Xiao Muzhen got in the car, Xie Fu gave her a hug and said, "Zhenzhen, thank you so much! I love you! With you joining us, this show will definitely be a huge success!"
Xiao Muzhen pushed her away and couldn't help asking, "How did you convince Qingshang's people that I only need to go to Qingshang for half a day every day?"
"Don't worry about this. Qingchang has already received benefits, so you don't have to feel that you have delayed Qingchang's work."
"good."
Xie Fu started the car and asked, "Are you moving out now?"
Xiao Muzhen shook her head and briefly told Xie Fu about her and Huo Yunting's affairs, which shocked Xie Fu so much that she was shocked.
"I can't believe that you and Huo Yunting actually have such an evil relationship."
Xie Fu and Xiao Muzhen met three years ago when they were studying abroad, so Xie Fu was not aware of her past.
Xiao Muzhen sighed and said slowly: "When I first found out, I couldn't believe it even more than you did, but now I have accepted the reality."
"But Mr. Huo is so handsome. Even if you've already forgotten him, if you spend every day with such a handsome man, you'll probably fall in love with him in less than three months. Are you sure you'll be willing to divorce him after three months?"
Xie Fu still remembered that Huo Yunting was previously rated by the Beijing media as the person that all the socialites in Beijing most wanted to marry, and there were indeed many women who wanted to get close to him.
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would fall in love with someone just because of appearance?"
No matter how beautiful your appearance is, you will eventually grow old. Only when your souls are compatible can you stay together for a long time.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Of course you're not, but based on what you said, I think Huo Yunting still has feelings for you. I'm afraid even after three months, it won't be that easy for you to get rid of him."
"We have already signed the divorce agreement. Once three months are up, whether he likes it or not, we will no longer have any relationship."
For some reason, when Xiao Muzhen said this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
She lowered her eyes, trying to figure out what that feeling was, when the car suddenly stopped.
"Zhenzhen, we're here!"
Xiao Muzhen put away his thoughts and got out of the car with Xie Fu.
This place is a famous film and television city in Beijing. In addition to people filming, there are also people chasing stars and tourists traveling. It is very bustling with people coming and going.
Xiao Muzhen and Xie Fu walked in together. Xie Fu couldn't help laughing and said, "When I first met you, I wanted to lure you to my company to be an actor, but I didn't expect it to be successful. If you were an actor, you would definitely have a lot of fans who only care about your looks!"
Seeing the pity in Xie Fu's eyes, Xiao Muzhen said calmly: "I'm not interested in acting. Drawing design drawings suits me better."
