Chapter 442: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Huo Yunting looked indifferent and said in a deep voice, "Keep an eye on Huo Tianyi to prevent him from doing anything else. Also have the lawyers keep an eye on the lawsuit. Don't drag it out!"
"Okay, I understand."
"By the way, did you bring the ring I asked you to get earlier?"
"I've sent someone to fly it over from Chengdu. It should arrive this afternoon."
A smile appeared on Huo Yunting's lips, and the hard lines on his face softened a lot.
"Okay, I understand. You can go to work first."
After Ke Ning left, Huo Yunting picked up the documents and was about to start working when his cell phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the caller's name, he frowned and answered the call after a while.
"What's up?"
"Have you forgotten that when I gave you the secret key, you promised me that you would return to the Su family?"
Huo Yunting frowned, his voice turning cold, "Don't worry, since I've agreed, I won't go back on my word."
"Okay, to celebrate your return, let's have dinner together tonight."
"No time."
"I've already booked a seat. I'll send you the box number later. If you don't come, I'll go talk to Xiao Muzhen."
Huo Yunting's grip on the phone tightened unconsciously, and he said coldly, "I'm warning you, if you dare to look for her, I'll just pretend that what I promised you never happened."
"If you want me to go find her, remember to be there on time."
After saying that, Su Baitian hung up the phone.
Huo Yunting put down his phone, his eyes cold.
It seems that I have to find time to tell Xiao Muzhen about my relationship with the Su family, otherwise it might cause some misunderstandings.
Thinking of Xiao Muzhen, a hint of tenderness flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes.
They had met this morning when they went out, but he was already thinking about her.
He picked up his phone and subconsciously dialed Xiao Muzhen's number.
"Hello? Why are you calling me at this time? Is there something wrong?"
Her gentle voice came, and Huo Yunting couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and whispered: "It's okay, I just missed you, so I called you."
"We've only been apart for a few hours."
"I miss you every minute I don't see you."
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help but said: "Huo Yunting, could you please not talk like that? I don't feel comfortable with it."
"But this is what I want to say to you. I want to tell you how I feel."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Okay, I got it. I still have work to do, so I won't tell you anymore."
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen quickly hung up the phone. She was afraid that if she continued chatting with him, she would not be able to help but miss him.
Just as I put down my phone, there was a knock on the office door.
Ding Yue walked in with a document and said calmly, "Designer Xiao, this is the document Manager Yan asked me to bring for you to sign."
Ever since the two of them had a complete falling out, they haven't spoken to each other since then except for necessary contact at work.
Xiao Muzhen took the document, read it through, and found no problems, so he signed his name on the last page.
"It's signed, you can send it over now."
"OK."
Ding Yue turned around and left with the documents. After leaving the office, she did not rush to deliver the documents. Instead, she stayed at her workstation for more than two hours before getting up and going to Yan Nan's office with the documents.
Seeing her, Yan Nan frowned and said coldly: "Didn't I say that this document was urgent? Why did it take so long to send it over?!"
Ding Yue looked innocent. "Manager Yan, I told Designer Xiao, but she was drawing at the time. If she stopped, it would interrupt her train of thought. I had to wait until she finished and signed before giving it to me."
Yan Nan took the document and said with suppressed anger: "I understand, you can go back."
"Okay, Manager Yan."
After Ding Yue left, Yan Nan immediately handed in the documents, and naturally he could not avoid being scolded by his boss.
After get off work in the evening, Yan Nan asked Xiao Muzhen to come to his office.
"Design Xiao, the blueprints are important, but the documents I gave you to sign are also important. I don't want the situation where the urgent documents I sent over are delayed for several hours. Do you understand me?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Muzhen's eyes, and then he understood what was going on.
I originally thought that Ding Yue was just stupid, but I didn't expect him to be both stupid and bad. He dared to plot against her so blatantly. It seemed that he really didn't want to stay in Qingshang anymore.
She said apologetically, "Manager Yan, I understand. I promise this won't happen again."
Yan Nan nodded. He admired Xiao Muzhen very much, so he didn't want to make things difficult for her.
"Well, go back."
"OK."
Because Huo Yunting told her in advance that there was a dinner party tonight, only the driver came to pick up Xiao Muzhen.
As soon as he returned to the villa, Xiao Muzhen received a call from Xie Fu.
"Zhenzhen, do you know who I saw at the restaurant when I invited investors to dinner just now?"
Xiao Muzhen kicked off her high heels, put on her slippers, and walked into the living room while saying, "Who is it? Could it be one of your ex-boyfriends?"
"How is that possible? I saw Huo Yunting! He was having dinner with the daughter of a real estate tycoon in Beijing. They were alone!"
The smile on Xiao Muzhen's face froze for a moment, then he pretended to be calm and said, "Oh, I know...that person is his client. He told me about it before he went to dinner."
"Is that so? That's good. I was wondering if something was wrong between you and Huo Yunting! But not many people in Beijing know about your marriage to Huo Yunting, so many celebrities are eyeing him covetously. You'd better keep an eye on him!"
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "Okay, I get it. Aren't you having dinner with the investors? I won't disturb you anymore. I also need to prepare dinner."
"Okay, let's talk next time when we have time."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen threw the phone on the table and leaned back on the sofa as if all his strength had been drained away, feeling exhausted.
In the evening, Huo Yunting just sent her a message to tell her that there was a dinner party, but he did not tell her that the person at the dinner party was a woman, and the two of them would be dining alone.
Xiao Muzhen wanted to believe him, but when faced with something like this, no one could think calmly.
She took a deep breath and prepared to wait for him to come back and listen to his explanation, because she didn't want to doubt him just because of Xie Fu's words.
On the other side, in the restaurant box.
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. He looked at the smiling woman opposite him and said, "Miss Guo, I already have someone I like. I came here today because I didn't know in advance that this dinner would be just the two of us. I hope Miss Guo doesn't misunderstand."
Guo Zhenzhen frowned and the smile on her face gradually faded.
"Mr. Huo, you've never been close to any woman in the past few years. Why don't you give me a chance? I've liked you for a long time."
