Chapter 408: Like a Treasure
The person who spoke suddenly looked extremely ugly, and gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Muzhen, do you have to be so harsh? It's wrong for us to say bad things about you behind your back, but there's no need for you to call us dogs, right?!"
Xiao Muzhen's expression was indifferent. "What you regret is not saying bad things about me, but that my bad words were discovered, right?"
Her face froze, and before she could say anything, Xiao Muzhen turned around and left.
As I reached the door, a voice filled with disgust and contempt came from behind me.
"You are just like what people say outside, selfish, cold-blooded and heartless."
Xiao Muzhen turned around and poured a glass of water directly on the face of the person who spoke.
"ah!"
The other party screamed and turned pale with fear.
Xiao Muzhen looked at her coldly and said word by word: "If you can't speak, donate your mouth to someone useful. It's not your turn to judge what kind of person I am."
The woman was so angry that she almost went crazy. She rushed forward and wanted to hit Xiao Muzhen, but she was kicked away by her and fell heavily to the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.
The woman's face was twisted in pain. She stared at Xiao Muzhen and said, "Just wait! I won't let you go!"
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow and said, "I advise you to think before you speak. It doesn't matter if I lose this job, but if you lose this job, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a better one."
Her tone was calm, but every word she said was like an icicle hitting the hearts of several people present, making them feel cold from head to toe.
"If we don't talk about those things, will they just stop existing?! Do you dare to say that you didn't let your mother wait downstairs, causing her to be admitted to the hospital?!"
"What does this have to do with you? Is it so great to criticize others from a moral high ground? I have no obligation to explain what I do to you. If you have that time, you should focus on improving your professional skills."
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen turned around and left.
After this incident, Xiao Muzhen's reputation within Qingshang became even worse, and someone even created a small group specifically to complain about her.
In the afternoon, near the end of the working day, a piece of news suddenly became a hot topic.
#Daughter refuses to acknowledge her biological parents for a rich life#
Clicking on it, it was an interview video of Chi Zhen. The host asked about his family, and he said that he had a pair of twin daughters, one was sensible and well-behaved, but the other refused to recognize him.
The host looked like he had heard some gossip and immediately asked about the two daughters.
Chi Zhen sighed and said helplessly, "Our eldest daughter doesn't live with us, so she's not very close to us. Every family has its own problems. Let's not talk about this anymore and get back to the topic we were talking about."
The host persisted, "Mr. Chi, many families experience this kind of conflict. I think everyone would like to know how you handle the conflict with your eldest daughter."
Chi Zhen smiled bitterly, "She didn't even give us a chance to deal with it, and now she's the adopted daughter of another wealthy family, so she doesn't look down on us anymore."
What follows is the host digging deeper into the follow-up of this incident, while Chi Zhen intentionally or unintentionally reveals Xiao Muzhen's personal information.
Soon, netizens found Xiao Muzhen based on the letter in the video, and the incident also affected the Xiao family. Many netizens went to the official account of the Xiao family to spread rumors and curse the Xiao family.
"How shameless! Mr. Xiao, can't your family have children of their own? Why are you trying to steal someone else's child?!"
"I used to have a good impression of Xiao's, but I won't buy anything from them anymore!"
"The Xiao family is indeed very rich, but that's no reason for you to bully others!"
"Disowning one's biological parents for money...it's hard to judge..."
…
After Xiao Tuo found out about what happened online, he was so angry that he wanted to go find Chi Zhen to settle the score on the spot.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhuan stopped him, "Dad, everyone on the Internet is scolding Zhenzhen and the Xiao family. If you go to Chi Zhen now, it will only make things worse, and Zhenzhen will be scolded even more miserably."
"So what do you think we should do?"
"First, have the PR department remove the trending searches and send someone to protect Zhenzhen. Paparazzi might come looking for her soon. All that's left is to wait for the hype to die down before slowly dealing with Chi Zhen."
Chi Zhen calmed down and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."
On the other side, Xiao Muzhen soon saw the hot searches on the Internet.
She sneered. Chi Zhen was really shameless and couldn't stand her being well.
In this case, let’s completely break up!
Xiao Muzhen took her bag and left the company. As soon as she got downstairs, she was surrounded by a group of reporters.
"Ms. Xiao, are you really going to cut off ties with your biological parents just for money?!"
"Miss Xiao, do your adoptive parents know that you are such a heartless and ungrateful person?"
"Ms. Xiao, your mother is still lying in the hospital bed, but you refuse to even go to see her. Are you still worthy of being a human being?!"
As questions came one after another, Xiao Muzhen's eyes became extremely cold.
"I don't need to follow your lead and answer these questions. Please get out of the way, or I'll call the police!"
Seeing no remorse in her eyes, one of the reporters shoved her and angrily said, "What I hate most is people like you who don't appreciate the blessings they have! Your biological parents treat you so well, yet you still go and flatter your adoptive parents. You're nothing but a shameless gold digger!"
Xiao Muzhen didn't expect that the reporter would dare to attack her. She twisted her foot unexpectedly and felt a sharp pain instantly.
There was a cold flash in her eyes, and just as she was about to speak, a cold voice sounded in her ears.
"Whoever dares to surround her again, I will make sure he has no chance of survival in the capital!"
Everyone turned around and was stunned when they saw Huo Yunting.
At this moment, Huo Yunting was surrounded by an icy aura, making everyone feel as if they had entered a world of ice and snow.
The reporter who had pushed Xiao Muzhen earlier sneered, "Boss Huo, you are indeed powerful and influential, and you can make it impossible for us to survive in Beijing, but if you dare to touch me, I will definitely post what you did online and let everyone know!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked away.
His body flew four or five meters in the air before he fell heavily to the ground. He spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
All the reporters looked at the man who kicked someone away in shock. When did he appear here?
Long Tian helped Xiao Muzhen up after she fell, and said in a deep voice, "Miss, are you okay?"
"fine."
Xiao Muzhen was about to say thank you when another slender and powerful hand suddenly grabbed her hand.
She looked up and met Huo Yunting's deep eyes.
“Huo…”
Just as he said a word, he was suddenly picked up sideways.
Xiao Muzhen subconsciously hooked her arms around his neck, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't let you fall."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips. Could this person read my mind? How could he even know what I was thinking?
The reporters who had just surrounded Xiao Muzhen quickly moved aside, lowering their heads like quails, completely losing their previous arrogance.
Long Tian made a phone call and asked the other party to come and handle the follow-up, and then left directly.
After putting Xiao Muzhen in the back seat, Huo Yunting got in from the other side and said coldly, "Go to the hospital!"
