Chapter 38: Fearless in the Face of Danger
The next morning, Chi Muzhen received a call from Mrs. Huo.
"Zhenbao, I received an invitation from an old friend to go to a resort this weekend. Are you free? Do you want to come with me? I heard you can go horseback riding, and there's an amusement park there."
Originally, Mrs. Huo didn't want to go, but after hearing about these projects, she thought she could take Chi Muzhen there to relax and call Huo Yunting along, maybe they could even repair their relationship.
A hint of surprise flashed in Chi Muzhen's eyes. After thinking about it, she really had nothing to do on the weekend, so she agreed.
"Okay, should I pick you up then or should we just meet at the resort?"
"I'll pick you up at the villa then."
Chi Muzhen hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Grandma, I actually live in the north of the city now."
Old Mrs. Huo frowned, "You and Yun Ting separated?!"
Thinking of their current relationship, Chi Muzhen didn't know how to tell Mrs. Huo, so she could only say vaguely: "Not really, it's just that this place is closer to my current company, so I live here."
"Nonsense! How can a couple live apart? Now Chi Xuan is back. What if she takes advantage of your absence and sneaks in?!"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "Grandma, don't worry about this matter. He and I will handle it."
"If you could really handle this, you wouldn't be separated. I'm going to call Yun Ting. If he doesn't take you back as soon as possible, I won't let him go!"
"grandmother……"
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Huo hung up the phone.
When Chi Muzhen called again, the call was already in progress. It was obvious that Mrs. Huo was already calling Huo Yunting.
She sighed helplessly, put her phone aside and started washing up.
When I packed up and was ready to go out, I found that Huo Yunting had sent me several messages.
[Chi Muzhen, what did you tell grandma about Xuanxuan?!]
"Grandma already had a bad impression of Xuanxuan. You told her you moved out, and she just threatened me that she wouldn't let Xuanxuan go if I didn't take you back to Shengjing!"
"What kind of magic potion did you give Grandma to make her stand by you unconditionally?! I told her you wanted to move out, but she didn't believe me!"
Seeing the words that Huo Yunting sent to defend Chi Xuan, Chi Muzhen had no expression in her eyes. She simply deleted the text message and went out to work.
The weekend soon arrived, and Chi Muzhen packed up at home early and waited for Mrs. Huo to come.
Unexpectedly, the car parked at the door of the villa was Huo Yunting's. Chi Muzhen hesitated for a while before opening the back door and preparing to get in.
"Sit in the front!"
Chi Muzhen glanced at Huo Yunting in the driver's seat and said calmly, "I'll sit in the back so I can talk to grandma."
Mrs. Huo was eager to repair their relationship and quickly said, "Zhenbao, my old friend will be sitting in the back row later, so it's a bit crowded for the three of us. You should sit in the front."
Hearing this, Chi Muzhen felt helpless and could only sit in the passenger seat.
If she had known that Huo Yunting was going too, she would have refused Mrs. Huo at that time.
As soon as he got in the car, Huo Yunting suddenly leaned over.
Chi Muzhen was startled and dodged to the side, hitting his forehead on the glass with a dull "bang".
She frowned and looked at Huo Yunting warily, "What are you going to do?!"
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "I'll fasten your seat belt for you."
"No, I can do it myself!"
Seeing Chi Muzhen fasten her seat belt, Huo Yunting didn't say anything else, but his expression became a little colder.
Old Mrs. Huo was watching from behind, feeling worried. It looked like there was quite a conflict between the two.
Even if the two had conflicts in the past, Chi Muzhen would not be so cold to Huo Yunting.
They were silent all the way to the resort entrance, and Chi Muzhen realized that Mrs. Huo had lied to her about picking up an old friend.
She also understood what Mrs. Huo meant, but her expectations would ultimately be dashed, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between her and Huo Yunting.
Their marriage is like a shaky house that could collapse at any moment.
In the past, she had always been the one who tried her best to repair things, but in the end she found that no matter how much she tried to repair a house with so many holes in it, it would be of no use.
After getting off the bus, someone came to pick them up soon.
The resort opens on the 10th of next month, and there are basically no tourists now.
Chi Muzhen had heard about this resort since its construction began. It was the Jin family's largest investment project in recent years.
It contains thousands of guest rooms, hundreds of meeting rooms, as well as large facilities such as swimming pools, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. It covers an area of one million square meters and is the largest resort in Chengdu.
Several people took the resort's special sightseeing bus to the hotel, which took more than half an hour to arrive.
Mrs. Jin was already waiting at the door. Seeing Mrs. Huo, she immediately came forward with a smile and said, "You are finally here. We have all been waiting for you."
"We were delayed on the way. Yunting, Zhenbao, come over and say hello to your Grandma Jin."
"Hello, Grandma Jin!"
Old Lady Jin looked at Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting with a smile, "Feel free to have fun. The room has been opened for you. If you want to go back to the hotel to rest first, that's fine. Your grandma and I will go shopping first."
After the two left, Huo Yunting looked down at Chi Muzhen and asked, "Do you want to rest first or go shopping?"
"Rest first."
The two walked into the hotel, and when Chi Muzhen learned that Mrs. Jin had only booked one room for them, she frowned.
She handed her ID card to the front desk and said, "Hello, could you please give me another room?"
Just as the receptionist was about to take the ID card, a bony hand snatched it away from Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen turned to look at Huo Yunting and frowned, "Give me back my ID card!"
Huo Yunting looked at her coldly, "Have you ever seen a couple sleeping in separate rooms?"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and spoke word by word, "Huo Yunting, I don't want to argue with you here. Return my ID card to me before my patience runs out!"
Huo Yunting ignored her and said directly to the front desk: "Give me the room card."
Perhaps it was because Huo Yunting's aura was too strong that the receptionist was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head to look for the room card.
After getting the room card, Huo Yunting reached out to pull Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen quickly took a step back, looking at him coldly, "I said, I won't live in the same room with you."
Huo Yunting's patience gradually ran out. He took two steps forward, picked up Chi Muzhen and carried her horizontally towards the elevator.
Chi Muzhen was startled and subconsciously grabbed Huo Yunting's collar.
Noticing the gazes of the people around her, Chi Muzhen's face turned red instantly, not sure if it was out of shame or anger.
"Huo Yunting! Put me down!"
Seeing her ears turn red, Huo Yunting whispered, "If you had just followed me obediently, this situation wouldn't have happened."
Chi Muzhen sneered, "Are you saying I should blame myself?"
"I'm glad you know."
Chi Muzhen: "..."
When they reached the elevator, Chi Muzhen said impatiently, "Can you let me down now?"
Huo Yunting didn't say anything and waited for the elevator to come down with a cold face.
Chi Muzhen frowned and was about to speak when the elevator door opened.
When the people inside saw them, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
