Chapter 465: Soaring into the Sky
He walked out of the box angrily, and when he saw Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting sitting by the window in the hall and eating dinner calmly, Huo Tianyi was so angry that he turned around and stared at the manager.
"What's going on? Why are they still able to eat here?!"
The manager looked calm and spoke word by word, "Because Miss Xiao is now the owner of our restaurant."
Huo Tianyi's expression was extremely ugly, and he angrily said, "Are you kidding me?! How could she be the owner of this restaurant?!"
"Just now, our boss transferred the restaurant to her."
Huo Tianyi stared at Xiao Muzhen and said coldly, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Xiao Muzhen raised her eyebrows, with a faint smile on her lips, and looked at Huo Tianyi as if she was looking at a clown.
"Didn't you just deliberately book this restaurant and not let us eat here? I was just giving you a taste of your own medicine, and you can't stand it?"
Seeing the mockery in Xiao Muzhen's eyes, Huo Tianyi sneered, "Xiao Muzhen, I want to see how long you can be so arrogant."
"Don't worry, I will continue to be so arrogant until the day your company goes bankrupt."
Huo Tianyi didn't say anything else, but left with a gloomy face.
Chi Siyi looked at Xiao Muzhen with a complicated expression. If possible, she would like to have a good relationship with Xiao Muzhen.
After all, Xiao Muzhen has the support of the Huo and Xiao families, and although Jin Yue in Huo Tianyi's hands is very powerful, from her observation, Huo Tianyi is not a generous person, and sometimes he is even narrow-minded.
But it’s too late to say anything now. Since I have already chosen Jin Yue, I have to grit my teeth and move forward no matter how difficult this road is.
After they left, Xiao Muzhen looked at Huo Yunting and asked, "Will Huo Tianyi take revenge on me?"
Huo Yunting looked at her and couldn't help but smile, "You knew you were afraid, but you still dared to speak to him like that?"
Huo Tianyi is narrow-minded and pretends to be generous on the surface, but he is actually the one who holds grudges the most.
Xiao Muzhen stuck out her tongue. "Isn't it because you're here with me? And I'm not afraid of him."
"Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you again."
Seeing a flash of gloom in Huo Yunting's eyes, Xiao Muzhen guessed that he must be thinking about what happened three years ago.
She pursed her lips, held his hand and said, "Yun Ting, after I know the whole story of what happened three years ago, I no longer blame you. If there is any fault, it is Huo Tianyi's fault. I don't want you to feel guilty when you see me."
Huo Yunting lowered his eyes, held Xiao Muzhen's hand, and promised: "I promise, I will never let you get hurt again."
"Um."
After the two finished their meal, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening when they returned home.
Xiao Muzhen had just finished washing up and was about to take a rest when he suddenly received a call from the police station.
After hanging up the phone, she said coldly, "Ding Yue committed suicide."
Huo Yunting frowned and said, "What are you going to do? Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Xiao Muzhen shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Then don't think about it, have a good rest, and leave the rest to me."
"good."
The next morning, Xiao Muzhen received a call from Xie Fu.
"Zhenzhen, the trending searches have gone viral. Now everyone is saying that you pushed Ding Yue to death because of plagiarism. Many people are even saying they want to boycott you."
Xiao Muzhen's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Ding Yue is already in the police station, so it is impossible for this matter to be spread out. Even if it was spread out, it would not become so popular so quickly.
The only possibility is that someone is fanning the flames from outside.
But who could that person be?
Xie Fu was a little worried when she didn't hear Xiao Muzhen's answer. "Zhenzhen, are you listening?"
"Yeah, I see. I have something to do here, so I won't tell you for now. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen turned to look at Huo Yunting.
"I might need your help with something. There must be someone out there fanning the flames. I want you to help me investigate where the news of Ding Yue's suicide came from."
Huo Yunting nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Ke Ning to check it out right away."
After breakfast, Huo Yunting sent her to the company.
When they were about to get off the car downstairs, Huo Yunting suddenly held her hand.
"Zhenzhen, if you feel tired, you can take a day off today."
He had also seen the comments from people online, and he could almost imagine the malicious looks people in the company would give her.
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "I'm fine. I don't take this little thing to heart at all."
"Okay, don't force yourself if you encounter something you can't solve."
If Xiao Muzhen hadn't stopped him, he would have made the news on the Internet disappear without a trace.
"Okay, that's enough. Stop worrying and go to work."
After getting off the car, Xiao Muzhen walked straight into the company, ignoring the gazes that were staring at him, and walked directly into the elevator.
Today was no different from yesterday, and still no one was willing to take the same elevator with her.
Xiao Muzhen was about to close the elevator door when suddenly someone walked in.
When he saw that it was Yan Nan, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes.
"Manager Yan, this is the first time I see you come so late."
Xiao Muzhen always likes to come to the company on time, but Yan Nan always arrives half an hour early, so they have never met downstairs of the company.
Yan Nan smiled sheepishly, "Well, I got up late today."
After the elevator door closed, Yan Nan asked with some confusion: "I see a lot of people are about to be late, why don't they take the elevator?"
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow, "Manager Yan, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?"
"What? I really don't understand."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and whispered, "Ding Yue committed suicide in the police station last night. Did you know about this?"
"I don't know, why would she suddenly commit suicide?"
"Maybe it's because she's now disgraced and can no longer be a designer, so someone deliberately posted the story of her suicide online. Now everyone thinks I'm too cold-blooded for pushing Ding Yue to the point of suicide."
Upon hearing this, Yan Nan frowned, his eyes flashing with anger. "What does this have to do with you?! It was clearly Ding Yue's own choice! So those people refused to ride in the same elevator with you because of this?"
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "About the same."
After a few seconds of silence, Yan Nan suddenly said, "Designer Xiao, how about I ask the company to issue a statement to clarify things for you?"
"No need. Don't those people know the truth? They just subconsciously sympathize with the weak and think I'm aggressive. Besides, I never care much about my reputation."
Seeing her calm expression, as if she really didn't care, Yan Nan couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao Sheji, you are truly the first person I have ever met who is so nonchalant about everything."
Xiao Muzhen turned around and looked at him, then said, "I just don't care about things that don't matter to me."
