Chapter 584: Good luck in opening the door
"Of course not. I just think he would hurt you for my reasons."
Xiao Muzhen looked at her unhappily, "What reason could you have? Although your blood relationship with them can be dissolved, there's no need for you to shoulder all the responsibility."
After a pause, Xiao Muzhen continued, "Since you have already signed the agreement to sever ties with them, no matter whether they regret it later or not, from now on, you just need to be yourself. It is not your turn to bear the consequences of their mistakes."
When Zhen Yan met Xiao Muzhen's sincere gaze, her eyes instantly turned red.
"Zhenzhen, thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for?! Just take care of yourself and recover. If Zhen Zhiming dares to plot against me again, I'll teach him a lesson!"
"Don't worry, I've sent someone to follow him and will never let him appear in front of you again!"
"good."
Not seeing any more guilt on Zhen Yan's face, Xiao Muzhen stood up and said, "Okay, I have something else to do later, so I won't tell you anymore. Have a good rest, and I'll come see you in a few days."
"Well, be careful on your way back."
"Know."
Xiao Muzhen got up and left. As soon as he reached the door, he ran into Sister Hong, who was holding a dozen scripts in her hands.
Seeing Xiao Muzhen, surprise flashed in her eyes, "Miss Xiao, are you here to see Yanyan?"
"Well, did you bring the script here for Zhen Yan to choose from?"
Sister Hong nodded. "Well, these are the scripts that will start filming in three months. I think a few of them are quite suitable for her transformation, so I brought them over to show her."
"She's been under a lot of pressure lately. Besides work, you can take her out sometimes to relax more. Don't assign her too much work. Wait until she's emotionally recovered before increasing the intensity of her work."
"Okay, I understand."
On the way back, Xiao Muzhen received a call from Xun Zi.
"Zhenzhen, come back for dinner tonight."
Xiao Muzhen didn't have any appointments in the evening, so he agreed directly.
"Okay, I want sweet and sour pork ribs."
"I've asked the kitchen to prepare it."
"I know my mom treats me the best!"
"Stop being so joking and remember to dress nicely tonight!"
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow, "Mom, isn't tonight's Hongmen Banquet going to be a feast? Did you arrange a blind date for me?"
"What blind date?! It's just that Mr. Shi helped your dad's company a few days ago, so we invited him to dinner tonight to thank him. I thought we could get to know each other, so I called you back. I haven't seen you in a while."
"It turns out I'm just a foil. How sad!"
Xun Zi: “…”
After a few seconds of silence, she finally said, "You've already promised me that you must come over tonight, otherwise I'll come to find you tonight!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Xiao Muzhen would refuse.
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but smile, put away his phone and set off back to the villa.
At six o'clock in the evening, Xiao Muzhen appeared at the door of the Xiao family on time.
Seeing that she was wearing the same clothes as usual, Xun Zi felt unhappy.
"Didn't I tell you to dress nicely?!"
Xiao Muzhen looked helpless. "Mom, didn't you tell me that tonight's main purpose was to thank Shi Yiheng? If I dress too nicely, won't I be the center of attention?"
Moreover, she had no intention of developing a relationship with Shi Yiheng. She had no interest in love at the moment and didn't want to get involved.
Xun Zi curled her lips in fear and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. I've been observing Mr. Shi for so long, and he has a good personality and family background. If you can be with him, I'll feel at ease."
"Okay, stop trying to match people up with me. I don't want to be in a relationship anytime soon."
Seeing Xiao Muzhen's indifferent expression, Xun Zi sighed and said slowly: "Okay, I won't rush you, but starting from tomorrow, I will arrange a blind date for you every day. Anyway, you have nothing to do, so go and meet them."
Xiao Muzhen:???
"Mom, you're exaggerating! It's not like I can't get married!"
Xun Zi nodded, "I just want you to meet them first. Maybe you'll like them. Even if you don't, it doesn't matter. We can just be friends!"
"No, I've found a new job and I'm very busy lately. I don't have time."
Xun Zi snorted coldly, "Don't lie, you haven't submitted any resumes recently, how could you possibly have a job?"
...seen through.
"Then I don't want to go on a blind date either. I've had all those weird blind date experiences before. You don't want me to go through them again, do you?"
"That's because the quality of the ones I selected for you before wasn't up to standard. This time, I personally checked them. Don't worry, their character is top-notch!"
With so many men, there is always one that she likes.
"No, I really don't have time."
"Xiao Muzhen, do you still see me as your mother?!" Xun Zi was so angry that her eyebrows raised and she glared at her.
"It has nothing to do with whether I have eyes for you or not. Marriage is a lifelong thing. If I can't find someone I like, I'd rather be single for the rest of my life!"
"You may not like it now, but maybe you will like it after you get to know it better. Feelings can be cultivated."
Xiao Muzhen's expression was indifferent, "I don't want to train."
Xun Zi: “…”
After a long while, Xun Zi finally spoke: "Okay, since you don't like it, forget it. Tell me when you are interested."
Xiao Muzhen was a little surprised that Xun Zi agreed so readily. After all, she would not let him go so easily before.
"You really don't want me to go on a blind date?"
Meeting her incredulous gaze, Xun Zi couldn't help but glare at her, "Why are you looking at me like that?! Do you think I'm someone who can't tell right from wrong and insists on asking you to go on a blind date?!"
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Isn't it?"
"Where is it?!"
"When I was studying abroad, you introduced me to many boys, both openly and covertly. After returning to China, you even made a brochure for me to go on blind dates. Your ruthlessness is beyond words."
Xun Zi recalled that when Xiao Muzhen returned to China, she did find a lot of people to go on blind dates with her, but it was not as exaggerated as she said.
"Then... wasn't that for your own good?"
"Goodbye, thank you. If I wanted to fall in love, I would definitely take the initiative to find one. Mom, you should just eat and drink as you please. Don't worry about me."
"I know, I know. Let's go in."
The two walked into the living room together and saw Shi Yiheng sitting on the sofa chatting with Xiao Tuo. Xiao Muzhen had planned to greet him later, but unexpectedly, he looked at her with a gentle smile on his face.
"Mu Zhen, you're back."
"Um."
Xun Zi winked at Xiao Tuo, but Xiao Tuo didn't understand. He frowned and said, "Azi, what's wrong with you? Are your eyes uncomfortable? Do you want to ask the family doctor to come and take a look?"
Everyone in the living room immediately focused their attention on Xun Zi. Meeting her daughter's suspicious gaze, Xun Zi smiled guiltily.
"No, I just had a little eye cramp, but it's all right now."
