Chapter 430: Exactly the Same
"Is that corny? It's too late for you to regret it now!"
Xiao Muzhen was about to speak when the phone on the table suddenly rang.
When she saw it was Ding Yue, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
As soon as the call was connected, Ding Yue's somewhat anxious voice came over.
"Designer Xiao, Manager Yan asked me to submit a design today. I've finished it, but I'm not sure about it. Could you help me take a look?"
Xiao Muzhen lowered his eyes, unable to discern the emotion in them.
"I'm a bit busy right now and may not be able to take a look. You can just ask Manager Yan to help you. Manager Yan used to study design, so he will definitely be able to point out any problems you have."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Ding Yue's disappointed voice came.
"Okay then, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Xiao Muzhen put away his phone, his face expressionless.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Huo Yunting asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Muzhen looked at him, a smile on his face, "It's okay."
Huo Yunting frowned, "Zhenzhen, if you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh. You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me."
Xiao Muzhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not pretending to be strong, I just think it's just a small matter and not important."
"Well, if there's anything, you must tell me."
"I know."
"I have to go to a meeting too. Wait here for me. After the meeting, we'll go have dinner together."
"good."
Shortly after Huo Yunting left, Xiao Muzhen's phone rang again.
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Xiao Muzhen hung up directly.
However, the other party called several times in a row, and finally Xiao Muzhen finally answered.
Before he could ask who the other person was, an angry voice came over.
"Xiao Muzhen, you are so vicious. Did you spread those negative news about Tianyi online?!"
Hearing that it was Chi Xuan on the other end, Xiao Muzhen didn't even bother to answer. He just hung up the phone and blocked it.
I really don't know where she found her phone number.
Even though Xiao Muzhen knew that Chi Xuan was his twin sister, he had no good feelings towards her at all, and even felt disgusted when he saw her.
In fact, what Chi Xuan did was really annoying.
On the other side, Chi Xuan was so angry that she threw her phone down, scaring Huo Zimeng next to her so much that she trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.
Chi Xuan glanced at her coldly and was about to speak when the door of the villa was suddenly pushed open and Huo Tianyi walked in with a cold face.
Seeing him, Chi Xuan couldn't help but feel a little scared. After all, she had been beaten so many times by Huo Tianyi before, and her injuries had not healed yet.
She stood up and forced a smile, "Tian...Tianyi, you're back..."
Huo Tianyi had a cold expression on his face, staring at Chi Xuan with an extremely sinister look, his eyes dark and gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chi Xuan was frightened by his gaze and looked away awkwardly.
"Tianyi...why don't you speak?"
Suddenly, Huo Tianyi's lips curled up into a smile, but that smile was cold and terrifying. All the pores on Chi Xuan's body were clamoring to escape, but her feet seemed to have taken root and she couldn't move at all.
"Chi Xuan, come with me to the study."
Chi Xuan shuddered, lowered her head and said, "Let's have dinner first. I asked the kitchen to make your favorite dishes."
As she finished speaking, the entire living room suddenly fell into a chill.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Huo Tianyi stared at her intently, his eyes filled with gloom.
Chi Xuan bit her lower lip hard and was about to speak when Huo Tianyi continued, "Don't forget, as long as I can help the Chi family and the Li family, if I withdraw my investment, what will happen to your father and your aunt? You should know better than anyone, right?"
She didn't want to care about Chi Zhen and Chi Siyi at all, but she also knew how serious the consequences of resisting Huo Tianyi would be.
"I see...I'll be right there."
Huo Tianyi raised his lips into a cruel smile, "That's right, I like obedient women."
Chi Xuan walked slowly towards the study, and with every step she took, the despair in her heart deepened.
Ever since he lost the symbol of being a man, Huo Tianyi has become more and more perverted. Every time Chi Xuan goes to the study, she is tortured half to death by him.
An hour later, Chi Xuan walked out of the study trembling, her face pale without a trace of blood.
Huo Tianyi had a faint smile on his face, but that smile looked strangely incongruous.
After dinner, Huo Tianyi returned to his study. Just as he was about to look at the documents, his secretary called.
"Mr. Huo, the rumors online that are unfavorable to you have been dealt with, but the Huang Group refuses to cooperate with Jin Yue no matter what."
Huo Tianyi's eyes flashed with a coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then you are the enemy. Go and investigate whether the Huang family has committed any illegal acts."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Tianyi dialed a foreign number.
After a few rings, the other end picked up the line and a cold voice came from it.
"What's up?"
"Venomous Scorpion, I haven't found the Huo family's secret key yet. Please give me some more time."
Poison Scorpion sneered, "Did they not find out, or did they not bother to investigate at all, wasting their time on revenge against Huo Yunting and Xiao Muzhen?"
Huo Tianyi's heart sank, and he quickly said, "No... I plan to bankrupt the Huo family first, and then force Huo Yunting to hand over the secret key."
"Why is it so troublesome? Doesn't he have a grandmother in Rongcheng? You can't catch Huo Yunting, but you can't catch an old lady either."
Huo Tianyi fell silent. He didn't want to attack Old Lady Huo.
Although Mrs. Huo was not kind to him, she was his grandmother after all.
He had already regretted kidnapping Mrs. Huo three years ago.
Sensing his resistance, Poison Scorpion's voice became even deeper. "Huo Tianyi, you'd better understand. If I hadn't rescued you, you would still be locked up in this dark basement. Do you think Old Madam Huo would have saved you? You treated her like a relative, but she has long since disowned you as her grandson!"
After saying that, Scorpion hung up the phone.
Huo Tianyi's grip on the phone tightened, and a hint of determination gradually flashed in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, dialed a number, and said coldly: "Bring Mrs. Huo to the capital!"
The next morning, Huo Yunting received news from Rongcheng Hospital that Old Mrs. Huo was missing!
He immediately sent people to look for her, but after searching for a whole day, they found no clues at all. They only found that in the surveillance video, Mrs. Huo was taken away by a man wearing a mask.
Just when Huo Yunting found nothing, Huo Tianyi sent him a video.
In the video, Mrs. Huo was sitting on the sofa with a blank look on her face.
A cold look flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes, and he directly dialed Huo Tianyi's number, but Huo Tianyi hung up and sent a message.
[If you want to save her, exchange it for the secret key! ]
