Chapter 500: Loyalty
Chi Xuan, who was bored and browsing her phone in the hospital, soon saw the news. Her face changed and she quickly called Xu Rou.
The call was quickly connected. "Xuanxuan, what's wrong?"
"Mom, I saw the news that you fainted at Qingshang's door this morning. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I was just pretending."
A hint of surprise flashed in Chi Xuan's eyes, "Why did you do this?"
"I naturally have my own reasons for doing this. You'll know later. Reporters are coming to interview me later, so I won't tell you yet."
Xu Rou hung up the phone in a hurry. As soon as she put the phone down, a group of reporters swarmed in and surrounded the entire ward.
Microphones and cameras were pointed at her, and the reporters' eyes were flashing with excitement.
After all, Xiao Muzhen is now the adopted daughter of the Xiao family. Her biological mother fainted in front of her, but she didn't care. This kind of topic is the most eye-catching and can arouse the most discussion.
"Ms. Xu, how do you feel about the fact that you fainted at Qingshang's door this morning, and your biological daughter, Xiao Muzhen, turned away indifferently?"
"Ms. Xu, I heard that you weren't very kind to Xiao Muzhen when she returned to the Chi family. Is this the result of the cause you sowed?"
"Ms. Xu, many people online now know that Xiao Muzhen doesn't care about you, and they are scolding her. Do you have anything to say to them?"
…
Questions came one after another like cannonballs. Xu Rou was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke.
"I understand the general questions everyone has asked. Here I will pick out a few representative ones to respond to."
"First of all, when she first returned to the Chi family, she was indeed partial. Because she had just returned, we hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. For a while, I didn't know how to get along with her. In addition, my second daughter was sick at the time, so I focused most of my energy on her and neglected Zhenzhen. By the time I realized it, it was too late..."
"Later, due to some misunderstandings, the relationship between us became increasingly distant. Now that I think about it, the way she treated me was retribution for me. I don't blame her; it's my own fault for not being a good mother. Now I just hope that one day she can forgive me and return to the Chi family so that we can be reunited."
"As for those who are insulting her online, I earnestly ask you to stop insulting my daughter. She is my daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy. It breaks my heart to see her being insulted. This is our family matter, and I hope netizens will stop paying attention to it."
After saying this, Xu Rou looked at the reporter and said, "I'm still feeling a little unwell. I've said what I need to say. Please leave."
"Ms. Xu, before I came here, I saw a news report three years ago. You publicly severed ties with Xiao Muzhen at that time, and now you want her to return to the Chi family. Don't you think that's contradictory?"
Xu Rou was stunned for a moment, and her eyes subconsciously fell on the reporter.
Meeting his mocking eyes, Xu Rou pursed her lips, blinked, and tears fell.
"After I missed the initial stage of getting along with Zhenzhen, she became less and less obedient to me. I didn't consider her perspective at the time, and as a result, I had several major conflicts with her. In my anger, I did this wrong thing, and this is what I regret the most. No matter how you criticize me, I will accept it. I just hope you will stop harassing my daughter!"
Xu Rou's words caused a huge response on the Internet. Some people even began to spontaneously organize to block Xiao Muzhen downstairs of Qingshang Building, hoping that she could forgive Xu Rou. Most of them were women about the same age as Xu Rou.
"Little girl, your mother did do something wrong, but there is no mother in the world who doesn't love her daughter. She has realized her mistake now, so you should go back to the Chi family and make peace with her!"
"That's right, mom is the greatest person. She carried you for ten months and gave birth to you with great difficulty. This kindness can never be fully repaid. Don't wait until you lose it to regret it, because then it will be too late."
"We've all been through this before, and we won't lie to you. If you're so heartless now, you'll definitely regret it later. The blood ties between family members can't be severed. No matter what, you're still mother and daughter."
Looking at these middle-aged women who were surrounding him and educating him, Xiao Muzhen just wanted to laugh.
There are always people who talk without any concern and advise her not to take it seriously. If the same thing happened to them, they might not say such things.
Her expression was icy, and she said coldly: "Get out of the way, or I will be rude."
An auntie couldn't help but frown and said, "Hey, little girl, why don't you listen to advice? I told you that if you don't listen to the old people, you will suffer the consequences. As long as you promise to reconcile with your mother, we will let you go immediately. Your mother is still in the hospital waiting for you to visit her."
Xiao Muzhen's lips curled up in a mocking smile. "I'm saying, have you guys had too much salt and are you too idle? It's my freedom whether I forgive her or not. What does it have to do with you?"
Some people wanted to preach to her, but Xiao Muzhen just took out her cell phone and called the police.
However, a woman quickly snatched the phone from her hand and threw it to the ground, angrily saying, "We're only talking to you nicely because your mother is so pitiful. If you take our kindness for granted, we'll be brutally harsh and tie you up!"
Xiao Muzhen's expression instantly turned icy cold. She looked coldly at the woman who had thrown her phone and said word by word, "Pick it up!"
Her voice was not loud, but it was oppressive and made people feel a chill down their spine.
A hint of fear rose in the woman's heart, but then she remembered that there were many people around her, while Xiao Muzhen was alone, and she immediately felt confident again.
"We're all doing this for your own good!"
Looking at her self-righteous look, Xiao Muzhen laughed angrily. Just as he was about to take action, a bone-chilling voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Everyone, stay away from her. If you continue to surround her, I will call the police!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall man with a cold aura walking towards them.
The oppressive feeling from the man made their hearts tremble, and they unconsciously made way for him.
Huo Yunting walked to Xiao Muzhen, held her hand, and then glanced around with a cold gaze.
Those who met his gaze unconsciously took a few steps back, with guilt in their eyes.
Huo Yunting sneered, "If I find out that you're bothering her again, I'll let you know what it feels like to be locked up in a police station!"
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Muzhen away.
Unlike his arrogance just now, no one dared to step forward to stop him.
After all, the cold aura emanating from him made people shudder and dare not get close to him.
It was not until they returned to the car that Huo Yunting let go of Xiao Muzhen's hand. Without paying any attention to her, he picked up the document beside him and began to read it.
Sensing the coldness emanating from him, Xiao Muzhen realized that he was angry.
"Yun Ting, are you angry because you've been waiting for so long?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yunting slammed the file shut and looked at Xiao Muzhen coldly, "In your eyes, am I this kind of person?!"
