Chapter 44: Worthy of Heaven
Huo Yunting frowned, "Grandma, what do you mean?!"
"What's the meaning?!"
Mrs. Huo looked at him angrily and said coldly, "I know everything about you helping outsiders bully Zhenbao. What's the point of keeping a husband like you who only helps outsiders?!"
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Chi Muzhen and asked, "Did you tell grandma that?"
Old Madam Huo stood in front of Chi Muzhen and glared at Huo Yunting fiercely. "You think you're right to hurt Zhenbao?! I'm warning you, stay away from Zhenbao! When you go back tomorrow, you'll divorce Zhenbao, and I'll have someone send the divorce agreement to your company!"
"grandmother!"
Huo Yunting was really angry. He had never thought about divorcing Chi Muzhen.
"Don't call me grandma, I don't have a grandson like you!"
After saying that, Mrs. Huo directly pulled Chi Muzhen away.
After sending Chi Muzhen to the new room, Mrs. Huo looked at Chi Muzhen with pity and said, "Zhenbao, don't worry, I won't let Yunting bully you. After knowing what happened today, I also began to think that maybe you and him are really not suitable, and he is not worthy of you!"
Chi Muzhen didn't expect to get the support of Mrs. Huo. Her eyes suddenly turned red. "Grandma, thank you!"
"Why are you thanking me? I should be the one thanking you. If it weren't for you, Yun Ting wouldn't be able to stand up. But that brat is blind and can't see your kindness. He's unlucky."
Chi Muzhen shook her head. "Grandma, you're welcome. I volunteered to do this, and I'm really grateful that you're willing to help me!"
Although she and Huo Yunting did not have a good relationship, Old Madam Huo was indeed very good to her, so there was no need for her to create a rift with Old Madam Huo because of Huo Yunting.
"Just now I told you not to say thank you, why are you saying thank you again? Okay, you are tired today, have a good rest, I will go back first."
"good."
After leaving Chi Muzhen's room, Mrs. Huo's eyes turned cold.
If she hadn't had the urge to look for the surveillance footage to see what Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting were doing, she wouldn't have seen the scene where Chi Xuan and Bai Xue Ning wanted to hurt Chi Muzhen, but Huo Yunting helped them force Chi Muzhen to apologize.
As soon as she returned to the door of her room, she saw Huo Yunting standing beside her with a cold face, obviously waiting for her.
Mrs. Huo walked up to Huo Yunting and looked at him coldly, "Do you know you are wrong?"
Huo Yunting pursed his lips tightly, looked at Old Mrs. Huo and said, "Grandma, you shouldn't have agreed to help Chi Muzhenli..."
Before he even uttered the word "marriage", he was slapped by Old Lady Huo.
"Huo Yunting, what did I teach you back then?! I told you to be nice to Zhenzhen, and this is how you treat her?!"
Old Mrs. Huo used all her strength to slap Huo Yunting, and a slap mark immediately appeared on his face.
His hands hanging at his sides unconsciously clenched into fists, and his entire body exuded a coldness.
Old Mrs. Huo's eyes were filled with anger. She looked at him with disappointment and said, "During those two years when you were paralyzed, who took care of you day and night and found someone to help you heal your leg?! Do you really think Chi Xuan likes you?! If she really liked you, why didn't she stay by your side during those two most difficult years?!"
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, then whispered, "Grandma, Xuanxuan was abroad at the time, and she heard the news that Chi Muzhen and I were getting married, so she refused to come back."
"Since you knew you were married to Chi Muzhen, why did you get entangled with her after Chi Xuan returned to China?!"
Facing Mrs. Huo's questioning look, Huo Yunting frowned, "I'm not entangled with Xuanxuan. It's Chi Muzhen who misunderstood."
Mrs. Huo laughed out of anger, pointing at Huo Yunting and angrily said, "Good for you, you've even learned to lie. If you weren't entangled with her, why did you lend her your marital home before?! Why did you take her to various activities?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a muffled sound suddenly came from behind him.
Old Mrs. Huo and Huo Yunting turned around at the same time and saw Chi Muzhen standing not far away with an indifferent expression. Old Mrs. Huo felt a tightness in her heart.
I don’t know how much Chi Muzhen listened to what she said just now. She must be very sad to hear Huo Yunting defending Chi Xuan.
"Zhenzhen, why are you here?"
Chi Muzhen came back to her senses, forced a smile, squatted down, picked up the phone on the ground and handed it to Mrs. Huo.
"Grandma, you forgot your phone in my room. I came to get it for you."
Mrs. Huo took the phone and asked cautiously, "How long have you been here?"
"I just arrived. Since the phone has been delivered, I'll go back first."
After saying that, he turned around and left without giving Mrs. Huo a chance to speak.
Seeing Chi Muzhen's somewhat desolate back, Mrs. Huo gave Huo Yunting a cold look and said, "Alright, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. Just do whatever you want with Chi Xuanai!"
After Mrs. Huo returned to her room, Huo Yunting followed Chi Muzhen without any hesitation.
He blocked Chi Muzhen at the elevator door, staring down at her, trying to find the slightest sign of anger on her face.
But he was disappointed. Chi Muzhen just looked at him indifferently and expressionlessly.
"Chi Muzhen, don't you have any questions about what grandma said just now?"
Chi Muzhen stared straight ahead with an expressionless face and said calmly, "This is your own business. It has nothing to do with me. You don't need to explain it to me."
The moment the words fell, the elevator door opened.
She walked in and pressed the door close button. Just as the elevator door was about to close, Huo Yunting suddenly walked into the elevator.
"You don't want to hear it, but I want to explain it to you."
Chi Muzhen felt helpless. She looked up at Huo Yunting and said, "You refused to explain when I wanted to listen. Now I don't want to listen anymore. There's no point in your explanation, is there?"
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold, staring into Chi Muzhen's and asked, "Do you really not care anymore?"
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Muzhen slowly said, "The day after I first asked for a divorce from you, I went out traveling alone. When I was in the northernmost part of Iceland, I fell into a lake. The lake was very cold, and I almost froze to death. If a herdsman hadn't happened to pass by, I might have died in Iceland."
Huo Yunting's pupils shrank, and the hands beside him tightened unconsciously.
"I don't know about this..."
Chi Muzhen looked at him calmly, "I'm not telling you this to make you feel guilty or anything like that, but I want to tell you that when I was on the verge of death in that lake, I figured it out: if you keep chasing after things that don't belong to you, you'll only make yourself more and more tired.
So I really don't love you anymore. Whether you have a relationship with Chi Xuan or whether you will be together or not is meaningless to me. Do you understand?"
Huo Yunting took a deep breath and spoke word by word, "Even if this is the case, I will not divorce you. I promised to take care of you for the rest of my life, and I will not break my promise."
"There's no need. I'll be better off without you."
Chi Muzhen's words made Huo Yunting's heart ache suddenly, as if something was gradually moving away from him.
He looked at Chi Muzhen stubbornly and said, "No matter what you say, I will not agree to a divorce!"
Even though both parties were suffering, he was still unwilling to divorce.
He didn't know why he was so persistent. Was it really because of the promise he made to Chi Muzhen?
He didn't know, and didn't want to think about it at the moment. As soon as the elevator door opened, he almost fled.
Looking at his back, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but sigh.
After returning to the room, Chi Muzhen took a nap after dinner and was woken up by the ringing of her cell phone in the afternoon.
