Chapter 555: No Heart, No Love
Seeing Xun Zi's lingering fear, Xiao Muzhen quickly said, "I understand. I will ensure my own safety no matter what."
"Next time you go out, you must have a bodyguard by your side. Otherwise, I can't rest assured. You've had so many accidents recently!"
"Okay, Mom, go get some rest. I can tell from the dark circles under your eyes that you haven't had a good rest lately, right?"
Xun Zi sighed, "When I heard about your accident, I couldn't sleep at all. I haven't closed a wink since last night."
"Okay, after you confirm that I'm okay, you should go to bed as well."
"Um."
After coaxing Xun Zi to sleep, Xiao Muzhen went back to his room, took a shower, changed his clothes, and went straight to the company.
As soon as she arrived at the office, the general manager's secretary came to her to find out what was going on.
Xiao Muzhen frowned, his face looking a little grim. "Secretary Zheng, I don't need to explain anything to the company. The police are still investigating. When the results come out, the company can go directly to the announcement. I came here just to take some of my things. I won't come to work at the company until this matter is over."
Secretary Zheng's eyes flashed with shock, and he quickly said, "Designer Xiao, the company is concerned about your safety, not that we want you to explain."
Xiao Muzhen said as she packed her things, "All I can say is that Manager Yan wanted to kill me because he thought it was my fault that Zhao was forced to leave the country."
Seeing Xiao Muzhen's indifferent expression, Secretary Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I will report this to the general manager. You should take a good rest during this time."
After the secretary left, Xiao Muzhen lowered his head and continued to pack his things. He finished in less than half an hour.
After leaving Qingshang, she sent the things directly back to the Xiao family, and went directly to the Xiao company.
After she called Xiao Zhuan and told him that Yan Nan wanted to harm her, Xiao Zhuan arranged for her to find a lawyer from the Xiao Group.
The two met in the coffee shop downstairs. After a preliminary understanding of the situation, the lawyer said, "Ms. Xiao, my assistant has already gone to South City to follow up on this case. I have a pretty good understanding of the details. If necessary, I will be there to follow up on the progress at any time. I will definitely make sure Yan Nan receives the punishment he deserves."
"Excuse me, Lawyer Wang."
“This is what I should do.”
Xiao Muzhen nodded, stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first. If you have any questions, please feel free to tell me."
"good."
After separating from the lawyer, Xiao Muzhen was about to go back when he received a call from Xie Fu.
"Zhenzhen, are you back in Beijing now?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"I just heard about what happened to you in South City. Where are you now? I'll be there right away!"
In less than half an hour, Xie Fu arrived downstairs of Xiao's building.
Seeing that Xiao Muzhen was fine, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm glad you're okay. That bastard manager of your company better be locked up forever!"
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, don't be angry. It's not worth it for such a rotten person. How did you know about this?"
Xie Fu couldn't help but roll her eyes upon hearing this, sneering, "How else would she know? That idiot Guo Zhenzhen got the news from somewhere and spread it around the entire circle. She even went around slandering you, saying you cheated on Yan Nan and that's why he's retaliating against you. But ever since that incident, no one's paid any attention to her. She's like a joke!"
When mentioning Guo Zhenzhen, Xiao Muzhen remembered what happened online last time and felt even more upset.
"Don't mention her, it's bad luck. Don't you have to go to work today?"
"After hearing about how you almost got into trouble, I'm in no mood to go to work. Let's go and have lunch together at noon."
"OK."
Xie Fu picked a restaurant nearby. As soon as they walked in, they saw Guo Zhenzhen and Huo Yunting walking out together.
"What bad luck! How can I keep running into these two people everywhere? Zhenzhen, let's go to another place!"
Xiao Muzhen shook his head and said calmly, "It's okay. He's just a stranger anyway. There's no need to worry about it."
As she spoke, she continued to walk inside, ignoring Guo Zhenzhen and Huo Yunting.
When she saw her, Guo Zhenzhen's eyes flashed with hatred, but because Huo Yunting was present, she refrained from making any sarcastic remarks.
Huo Yunting, on the other hand, immediately stepped forward upon seeing Xiao Muzhen and asked, "You were not injured in Nancheng, were you?"
Before Xiao Muzhen could say anything, Xie Fu sneered and said, "Boss Huo, whether Zhenzhen is injured or not seems to have nothing to do with you. Please stay away from Zhenzhen!"
Huo Yunting glanced at Xie Fu with cold eyes, and without saying anything else, he turned and walked out of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Guo Zhenzhen hurriedly chased after him. After finally catching up with Huo Yunting at the hotel entrance, she quickly stopped him.
"Yun Ting, I was wrong about what happened before. Let's get along well from now on, okay?"
Meeting Guo Zhenzhen's sincere gaze, Huo Yunting's eyes showed no fluctuation at all.
"Guo Zhenzhen, I've already told you that I don't like you. I was only engaged to you because Su Baitian threatened me. Don't waste your time on me anymore. If you do anything to Xiao Muzhen again, I won't let you and the Guo family go."
Guo Zhenzhen bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"But Xiao Muzhen doesn't love you at all. Just now in the restaurant, she didn't even look at you. Why can't you let yourself go?"
“It’s none of your business!”
After saying that, Huo Yunting walked past Guo Zhenzhen and left.
She turned around and looked at his back, her eyes gradually turning red.
When she knew that Huo Yunting had exposed all the negative information about her, she did hate Huo Yunting and even thought about plotting against him, but the moment she saw him, she couldn't help but be moved.
She took a deep breath. No matter what, she was now Huo Yunting's fiancée, and Xiao Muzhen was just a thing of the past!
The one who will marry Huo Yunting in the future will definitely be her, Guo Zhenzhen!
In the restaurant, after Huo Yunting and Guo Zhenzhen left, Xiao Muzhen found a seat by the window and sat down. There was no expression on his face, and it seemed that he was not affected by them at all.
Xie Fu looked at her cautiously, "Zhenzhen, how are you treating Huo Yunting..."
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "We've already moved on. I won't have any attachment to him anymore."
As for why Huo Yunting knew that Yan Nan wanted to harm her that night, she didn't want to ask about it. In any case, since he had chosen to get engaged to Guo Zhenzhen, there was no possibility between them anymore.
"It's good that you can see things more clearly. I think you should just stop working at Qingshang. This company isn't right for you. You've only been there for a short time. First it was Zhao Mingyue, then Yan Nan. Who knows if someone else will come after you."
Xiao Muzhen lowered his eyes and spoke after a while: "Let's talk about this later. I haven't thought about what to do next yet."
