Chapter 45: Remain Calm
"Hello, Miss Chi. I'm a staff member of the resort. We have a barbecue and camping event tonight. Are you interested in joining us?"
Chi Muzhen thought about it and decided to sign up since she had nothing to do in the evening.
In the evening, when she arrived at the camping site at the appointed time, she found that there were still quite a few people there.
Those who can come here to play now are all people who are related to the Jin family.
Chi Muzhen didn't expect that Huo Yunting and his group, Shi Yiheng's crew, Old Mrs. Huo and her friends would all come.
Originally, Chi Muzhen sat down next to the barbecue grill that was used by one or two people. Just as she was about to start barbecuing, Mrs. Huo discovered her.
"Zhenbao, come here and join us!"
Chi Muzhen was about to refuse, but Mrs. Huo walked right up to her and said, "It's so boring to barbecue alone. Come with us, and we can chat with you."
At Mrs. Huo's kind invitation, Chi Muzhen had no choice but to go over and sit with them.
Sitting among a group of old ladies, Chi Muzhen suddenly became conspicuous.
The people who were with Old Madam Huo were all elders from other big families in Rongcheng. When they saw Chi Muzhen, they all started asking Old Madam Huo who she was.
Just as Mrs. Jin was about to speak, Mrs. Huo spoke up, "This is my godson, Chi Muzhen. If any of you have a kid of the same age, please introduce her to my granddaughter!"
Hearing this, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but feel helpless, "Grandma..."
Not to mention that she and Huo Yunting have not divorced yet, she doesn't want to focus on her relationship now. Her first priority is to get MY done.
Mrs. Huo looked at her with a smile, "Zhenbao, don't worry. When you get married, I will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately started talking about who had a young talent who could be introduced to Chi Muzhen.
Huo Yunting, who was sitting next to her, naturally heard what Mrs. Huo said, and his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He hasn't even divorced Chi Muzhen yet, but he's already rushing to introduce her to someone. Does he think he's not green enough?!
Liang Zixuan looked like he was enjoying the show, and said with a smile, "Yun Ting, can you still eat this barbecue?"
Huo Yunting glanced at him coldly and said expressionlessly, "If you're too free, go back to the barbecue."
This barbecue activity is completely self-service. The staff only provides meat and necessary ingredients. You have to cut the meat and mix the ingredients yourself. If you don’t mix it well, it will be a dark dish.
Liang Zixuan couldn't do anything, so he was assigned the task of skewering meat.
Thinking of the soft feel of the meat in his hands, he felt a chill run down his spine and quickly said, "Is it okay if I was wrong? Why are you taking a joke so seriously now?"
Huo Yunting didn't say anything else, but his face was extremely cold, as if he didn't want anyone to approach him.
Liang Zixuan glanced at the unusually silent Chi Xuan and smiled, "Chi Xuan, why are you so silent tonight? You're not like your usual self at all."
Chi Xuan forced a smile and said, "I was just thinking about something and my mind was a little distracted."
Liang Zixuan smiled and said nothing more.
He probably knew the reason for Chi Xuan's silence. Later, the reason why the horse Chi Muzhen was riding suddenly went crazy was clearly captured by the surveillance camera.
Everyone thought Huo Yunting would do something to Chi Xuan, or at least give her a warning, but he did nothing and let Chi Xuan stay by his side as if nothing had happened.
However, Chi Xuan felt guilty and didn't know how to face Huo Yunting. In addition, Bai Xue Ning was not there, so she could only remain silent.
At this moment, Huo Yunting suddenly stood up and walked quickly towards the next table.
An old lady was introducing a guy to Chi Muzhen and asked her to add him on WeChat. Chi Muzhen couldn't resist her enthusiasm and took out her mobile phone to scan the code, thinking about explaining everything to the other party after adding him.
Suddenly, a slender hand stretched out from above her head and snatched the phone from her hand.
Chi Muzhen turned around in surprise and saw that it was Huo Yunting. She couldn't help but frowned.
"Give me back my phone."
Huo Yunting looked at her indifferently and put his phone directly into his pocket.
"It's not safe to leave it with you. I'll keep it for you."
The other elderly ladies present, who were unaware of Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen's marriage, looked at Mrs. Huo in bewilderment and asked, "Xiu Fen, what's going on?"
Just as Mrs. Huo was about to explain, Huo Yunting said calmly, "Excuse me, grandmas. Chi Muzhen is already married, and I am her husband. My grandma just asked you to introduce her to someone just to piss me off. I hope you don't mind."
Huo Yunting's words were like throwing a depth charge into the calm sea, and everyone's eyes were immediately focused on Mrs. Huo's face.
"Xiu Fen, is this true?! Why didn't you tell us before? You've been hiding it from us for so long!"
"I can't believe it! We all thought Huo Yunting would be the last to get married, but I didn't expect him to be the first among our grandchildren to get married!"
"Xiu Fen, you're going too far! She's clearly your granddaughter-in-law, yet you lied to us and said she's your goddaughter! No, you have to treat us to a meal, otherwise this matter won't be so easy to resolve!"
…
Seeing that everyone's attention had shifted to Old Mrs. Huo, Huo Yunting directly pulled Chi Muzhen away.
Huo Yunting didn't let go of Chi Muzhen's hand until they left the barbecue area and walked into the quiet grove nearby.
"Are you stupid?! Grandma just asked someone to introduce you to someone, and you didn't know how to refuse?!"
Chi Muzhen looked at him calmly, "Why would you refuse?"
Huo Yunting's face turned pale, and he looked at her with gritted teeth and said, "Chi Muzhen, don't forget that we are not divorced yet!"
Chi Muzhen nodded, "I know, so I just plan to get to know him now, I don't plan to do anything else."
"you!"
Seeing the anger in Huo Yunting's eyes, Chi Muzhen stretched out her hand and said, "Can you give me my phone back?"
I had been planning to come here to have a good barbecue, but now it’s been ruined by Huo Yunting. It turns out that nothing good happens where he is.
Huo Yunting held her hand and said, "Stay with me for a while, and I will return your phone to you."
Chi Muzhen frowned, pulled her hand out suddenly, and said coldly: "The phone is for you!"
At worst, she could just buy a new one. She couldn't stand being alone with Huo Yunting for even a moment.
Seeing her turn to leave, Huo Yunting hugged her from behind and whispered, "Chi Muzhen, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you today."
Chi Muzhen's body stiffened for a moment, then she turned around and pushed Huo Yunting away, taking a few steps back and looking at him coldly, "You don't have to apologize to me. If you really felt sorry for me, you wouldn't have let Chi Xuan stay by your side safely after watching the surveillance video."
Huo Yunting's expression changed. "I will never let Xuanxuan hurt you again."
Chi Muzhen suddenly smiled, without a trace of warmth in her eyes. "Since you chose to protect Chi Xuan, don't say sorry to me. I won't let Chi Xuan go just because of these three words from you."
"What do you want to do to Xuanxuan?!"
