Chapter 523: Mountains and Ridges
"ah!"
She let out a low cry and subconsciously placed her hands on Huo Yunting's chest.
"What are you doing?!"
Xiao Muzhen's voice was filled with shame and anger. Now that there were so many people around him, he didn't restrain himself at all.
Huo Yunting looked down at her blushing face, chuckled, and said, "You are my wife. Even if you know those people, you should go with me, right?"
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips. That was true, but she had never been interested in such things.
After two seconds of silence, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Huo Yunting took her hand and turned to walk towards the people Guo Zhenzhen had just mentioned.
Guo Zhenzhen watched the whole process from the side and was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She gritted her teeth and followed.
Just as Huo Yunting and Xiao Muzhen approached the group, Guo Zhenzhen's voice rang out from behind them. "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Lin, let me introduce you. This is Huo Yunting, the president of Huo's. Didn't you just say you wanted to collaborate with them? Now we've brought him to you. Don't miss this opportunity!"
Hearing this, several people laughed and greeted Huo Yunting.
Seeing Huo Yunting holding Xiao Muzhen's hand, Mr. Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Huo, this is your girlfriend, Mr. Xiao's daughter, Xiao Muzhen, right?"
Huo Yunting nodded. "Well, she's quite shy. I'm sorry to have embarrassed everyone!"
"Hahaha, how could that be? Miss Xiao has a gentle personality at first glance. President Huo is so lucky!"
"Yeah, that brat from my family wanted to pursue Miss Xiao before, but Mr. Huo got there first!"
"Mr. Huo and Miss Xiao, one young and promising, the other talented, are truly a match made in heaven!"
Hearing these words praising Xiao Muzhen, Guo Zhenzhen felt extremely upset.
She clearly wanted everyone to match her up with Huo Yunting, but now everyone is saying that Huo Yunting and Xiao Muzhen are a good match!
After they chatted for a while and added each other's contact information, Huo Yunting said apologetically, "Sorry, I have something else to do later. We'll go back first. We'll meet again next time to discuss cooperation in detail."
After saying goodbye to a few people, Huo Yunting took Xiao Muzhen away.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving together, Guo Zhenzhen was so angry that her face turned blue, and she became more determined to make Huo Yunting and Xiao Muzhen break up!
On the way back, Huo Yunting couldn't help but look at Xiao Muzhen and asked, "How did you know that Lin Jiaqi was brought to the capital by Chi Xuan?"
A hint of coldness flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes, and he said, "When I knew Chi Zhen and Xu Rou were my biological parents, I sent people to investigate them. I knew Xu Rou came to the capital to protect the fetus. Later, when Lin Jiaqi suddenly appeared, I suspected something was wrong, so I sent someone to investigate. I didn't expect that Chi Xuan would be so cruel in order to get the Chi family."
"I didn't expect her to be so unscrupulous."
The current Chi Xuan is sinister and vicious, completely different from the gentle and kind Chi Xuan he first knew.
"She has always been like this, but you liked her before and naturally thought she was kind and cute."
Hearing the sourness in Xiao Muzhen's tone, Huo Yunting couldn't help but smile, "Did the vinegar bottle fall over? Why is there such a strong sour smell?"
Xiao Muzhen snorted coldly, "I'm not jealous, I just thought your eyesight was not good before.
"That was before I met you. After I met you, I only like you."
"If I remember correctly, after Chi Xuan returned to China, someone didn't go home every day. Instead, he would go to our 'wedding room' to look for her as soon as he got off work!"
Xiao Muzhen deliberately emphasized the word "wedding room".
Huo Yunting frowned, remembering that she was probably talking about the time when he worked overtime at Huo's.
"You're really wronging me. I was working overtime at Huo's during that time, and I barely saw her. And now I come home exhausted, and you're asking for a divorce."
Xiao Muzhen sneered, "Are you blaming me?"
"No, I was explaining to you that I had no intention of having anything to do with her since we got married."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said nothing more, but she obviously didn't believe what Huo Yunting said.
If he hadn't indulged her in the first place, Chi Xuan wouldn't have been so arrogant in provoking him.
Moreover, not long after she filed for divorce from Huo Yunting, he abandoned her on the roadside for Chi Xuan, saying that he had no thoughts about Chi Xuan after they got married, but she refused to believe it!
Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Yunting turned his head and looked at her.
"Zhenzhen, are you angry?"
Thinking of the past, Xiao Muzhen didn't want to pay attention to him. She turned her head to look out the window and said stiffly: "No."
Huo Yunting parked the car on the side of the road and said softly, "I did feel sorry for you about what happened in the past, but I promise that I really have nothing to do with her now."
Seeing the seriousness in Huo Yunting's eyes, Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and said, "I believe you. I just thought about all the misunderstandings we've experienced in the past, and I felt a little emotional for a moment."
Seeing that Xiao Muzhen really showed no signs of being angry, Huo Yunting finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly started the car and said, "I'm glad you're not angry. I hope you'll be happy every day with me in the future. I don't want you to be sad."
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen turned around and looked at him, then smiled and said, "Then you must behave well in the future."
"certainly!"
On the other side, Chi Siyi quickly told Chi Zhen what happened at the Li family banquet.
After hearing this, Chi Zhen's face turned extremely ugly, and he said angrily: "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really related to Xuanxuan, I will definitely not let her go!"
After hanging up the phone, Chi Zhen's eyes turned cold. He immediately made a call and said coldly, "Go check if Lin Jiaqi's visit to Beijing has anything to do with Chi Xuan."
"Okay, Mr. Chi."
Chi Zhen put down his phone, a calculating look in his eyes. If this matter was really related to Chi Xuan, he could legitimately take back her 10% stake, and he wouldn't have to hand over Chi's to her in the future. After all, such a vicious person was not worthy of managing Chi's!
On the other side, after returning home, Chi Xuan hurriedly called Zhao Ming.
As soon as the call was connected, she raised her voice and said, "Zhao Ming, you actually dared to secretly record our conversation? Don't think I don't know about your little affair with Lin Jiaqi. If anything happens to me, you and Lin Jiaqi won't have an easy time either!"
"Chi Xuan, what do you mean?! What did I record?! Don't talk nonsense!"
Chi Xuan sneered, "I went to attend Mr. Li's 70th birthday tonight. Xiao Muzhen played the recording of me asking you to tell Lin Jiaqi about my mother's pregnancy in front of everyone. And you still dare to say it had nothing to do with you?!"
Zhao Ming's face changed. He did record the conversation at that time, but he had not given the recording to anyone. He planned to keep it to threaten Chi Xuan in the future.
"How is that possible... That recording must be fake! I never gave that recording to anyone..."
"You finally admitted it! If this matter is traced back to me, I will definitely not let you and Lin Jiaqi go!"
After saying that, Chi Xuan hung up the phone angrily!
