Chapter 445: Every possible means
A cold look flashed across Huo Yunting's eyes, and he whispered, "Yeah."
Xiao Muzhen felt that his expression was a little strange, but seeing that he looked unhappy and didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any further.
After dinner, Huo Yunting returned to his study to deal with some work. Xiao Muzhen was planning to watch TV in the living room when her cell phone suddenly rang.
When she saw that it was Yan Nan, doubt flashed in her eyes.
As soon as the call was connected, Yan Nan's somewhat anxious voice came over.
"Designer Xiao, I left a document in the office. It's the design draft you submitted earlier. The client wants to see it. Do you have the original?"
"Yes, I'll scan it and send it to you."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."
"fine."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen took the documents to the study.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Huo Yunting's cold voice coming from inside.
"Go investigate whether the Xiao family has committed any crimes over the years. I want to know the results within three days!"
Xiao Muzhen's body suddenly stopped, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and the hand holding the design draft tightened unconsciously.
Why did Huo Yunting investigate the Xiao family?
The Huo family and the Xiao family are competitors in business. Although they have had some work dealings recently, they are only doing it to deal with Jin Yue.
Once Jin Yue falls, Huo and Xiao will definitely start to seize the market again soon.
Thinking of this, Xiao Muzhen's face darkened and he pushed open the door of the study.
Huo Yunting looked over with a dark and cold look. When he saw that the person standing outside the door was Xiao Muzhen, the coldness on his face disappeared, replaced by surprise.
"I have something else to do here, so I won't talk to you for now."
He hung up the phone, stood up and walked to Xiao Muzhen, "Zhenzhen, why are you here? What's going on?"
Xiao Muzhen looked at him and spoke slowly, "I just heard you were asking someone to check the Xiao family's criminal records. Are you planning to take action against the Xiao family?"
Seeing the coldness in her eyes, Huo Yunting couldn't help but frowned, "Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?!"
"If it weren't for the purpose of dealing with the Xiao family, I can't think of any reason why you would investigate this matter."
Huo Yunting's eyes darkened instantly, and he whispered, "I can't tell you now, but I can promise that I will never deal with the Xiao family, because I know that the Xiao family is very important to you!"
Seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "If it's not for some shameful purpose, why can't you tell me now?"
"Give me a little more time. After I've dealt with everything, I'll definitely explain everything to you. Before that, please trust me a little, okay?!"
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a while, then said coldly: "No, I can't gamble with them. If you don't tell me the reason, I will tell my dad about this."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes. Although the two were together again, Xiao Muzhen had never trusted him wholeheartedly.
In order to resolve all the problems between himself and Xiao Muzhen, he also hid many things from her.
"If you want to say it, go ahead and say it."
After saying that, Huo Yunting lowered his eyes and prepared to leave.
Anger flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes. She stopped him and gritted her teeth, "Is it so difficult for you to explain?"
"I have reasons I can't explain right now. Since you won't believe me, I have nothing to say."
He pushed Xiao Muzhen's hand away and said slowly: "I still have work to do in the company, so I won't be back to sleep tonight. You should go to bed early."
"Huo Yunting! Stop right there! Is this your approach to solving problems?!"
Huo Yunting's back stiffened for a moment, but he didn't look back and left quickly.
It was not until his back disappeared from her sight that Xiao Muzhen reacted and chased after him.
However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Huo Yunting driving away, and soon the black Maybach disappeared from his sight.
From beginning to end, he didn't even look at her.
Xiao Muzhen bit her lower lip, and tears gradually appeared in her eyes.
This was the first time the two had quarreled after they reconciled.
She also wanted to believe him, but the Xiao family was too important to her, and she couldn't gamble!
She took out her cell phone and called Xiao Tuo, telling him that Huo Yunting was investigating the Xiao family, then she hung up the phone.
She did not regret telling Xiao Tuo about this, but her heart was filled with pain, making her tears fall uncontrollably.
After a long time, a cell phone rang.
Xiao Muzhen looked down and found that it was Yan Nan. Then he remembered that he forgot to scan the design drawings and send them to him.
She wiped her tears, answered the call, and whispered, "Manager Yan, I'm sorry, I just had something urgent to do. I'll scan it and send it to you right away. It will take three minutes."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Yan Nan's slightly worried voice came over.
"Are you crying?"
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "No, I just have a cold. I'll go and send you the files first."
After passing the document to Yan Nan, Xiao Muzhen returned to the living room and sat on the sofa in a daze.
Soon, Yan Nan called again.
"Xiao Sheji, if you have anything that makes you unhappy, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you."
"Manager Yan, no thanks. Thank you for your concern, but I don't like sharing my life with my colleagues. If there's nothing else, that's it."
After saying that, without waiting for him to speak, Xiao Muzhen hung up the phone.
Xiao Muzhen did not go back to the bedroom to sleep all night, but Huo Yunting did not come back either.
The next morning, she got up from the sofa, washed up, and went straight to the company without even having breakfast.
In the next two days, Huo Yunting did not come back and the two of them had no contact, as if they had become two parallel lines that did not intersect.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Yan Nan offered to give her two days off, but was rejected by Xiao Muzhen.
"Manager Yan, don't worry, I will adjust my attitude as soon as possible and it won't affect my work."
Yan Nan nodded and said, "Okay, there's a dinner party tonight. The attendees are all famous designers in Beijing. You can come with me. It will be good for you to get to know more designers."
"Manager Yan, I..."
Seeing that she wanted to refuse, Yan Nan interrupted her and said, "Xiao Design, just think of it as going out to relax and change your mood."
After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Muzhen finally nodded and said, "Okay."
"Okay, then I'll take you there after get off work."
"Um."
It was soon evening, and Xiao Muzhen took Yan Nan's car to the venue.
As soon as the two walked in, Xiao Muzhen's eyes unconsciously fell on the two figures who were talking in the center of the banquet hall.
Huo Yunting was wearing a black suit and a sky blue tie tonight, holding a glass of wine in his hand. He had a slender figure and his every move was full of a domineering temperament, making him the focus of the crowd unconsciously.
The woman standing next to him was petite, wearing a light blue tube-top miniskirt. She smiled sweetly and looked at him with affection in her eyes.
The two of them seemed like a match made in heaven, and this scene deeply hurt Xiao Muzhen's eyes.
