Chapter 616: Dreaming of the Past
Cheng Shumin sneered, "How can I control you? If your brother didn't agree, you wouldn't agree to go to the Huo family!"
"I didn't want to go in the first place. You want me to compete with my brother for the Huo Corporation? Don't you think about whether I have the ability?! I'm not cut out for business!"
Meeting Huo Yiyi's impatient eyes, Cheng Shumin's eyes were filled with disappointment.
"I forced you... If you don't want to go, then don't go, okay? From now on, you don't have to worry about your father and me. Now that you've grown wings and refuse to listen to me, it's up to you!"
The two parted on bad terms.
On the other side, Xiao Muzhen and Xun Zi had just returned home when they received a call from Xie Fu.
"Zhenzhen, it's urgent. I need something later. Can you help me deliver a document to the company?"
"Okay, I'll get the documents."
After Xun Zi reported the addresses, Xiao Muzhen went out.
As soon as I delivered the things, I received a call from Huo Yiyi.
"Zhenzhen, where are you now? Do you want to go for a drink?"
Xiao Muzhen checked the time and raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure? It's only what time now, the bar isn't open yet."
"Then have afternoon tea. I'll wait for you."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Xiao Muzhen a chance to refuse.
Looking at the address sent by Huo Yiyi, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
It took an hour to drive to the restaurant.
Xiao Muzhen walked over to sit opposite Huo Yiyi. Seeing her depressed face, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Huo Yiyi glanced at her and whispered, "I had a fight with my mother."
"Because of me?"
Logically speaking, I have no relationship with Huo Yunting anymore, so Cheng Shumin shouldn't still regard me as a thorn in her side.
"Not entirely. She also insisted on asking me to work at Huo's. I refused, and she got angry."
Thinking of the things that Cheng Shumin insisted on forcing on her, Huo Yiyi felt even more upset.
For her, as long as she has enough money, it's enough, and she doesn't pursue brand names, but Cheng Shumin insists on making her compete with Huo Yunting for the Huo Group. It gives her a headache just thinking about it.
"Isn't Huo Yunting the president of Huo's company? Wouldn't it be great if you could go to Huo's and help him?"
Now when he heard this name, Xiao Muzhen no longer felt any fluctuation in his heart.
Ever since she decided to get engaged to Shi Yiheng, she decided to completely remove Huo Yunting from her heart, and the two of them would just be strangers from now on.
"If only it were that simple. My mom wants me to replace my brother and become the head of Huo's company. Do you think I'm capable of managing a company?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mu looked at her seriously for a few times, nodded and said, "It's not impossible to give it a try."
Huo Yiyi: “…”
Seeing her unhappy expression, Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, but why does she want you to replace Huo Yunting? Is there a conflict between her and Huo Yunting?"
Currently, only a few people in the Huo family know that Huo Yunting is not the biological son of Cheng Shumin and Huo Jinsong, and no one has told anyone else.
If Xiao Muzhen was still with Huo Yunting, Huo Yiyi would naturally not avoid this matter, but now, she was a little unsure whether to tell Xiao Muzhen about this.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she decided to keep it secret.
"My brother and my parents have had quite a few unpleasant arguments over the past few years, but things have finally calmed down a bit now."
"oh."
He could see that she was hiding something, but since this was the Huo family's business, Xiao Muzhen didn't ask any further questions.
She took a sip of coffee, looked up and glanced to the side, and suddenly saw a familiar figure walking in from the door.
Seeing the man behind Xie Fu, Xiao Muzhen frowned. How could they have any connection?!
Xie Fu was in a very bad mood at the moment. Her face was extremely grim and she ignored the man behind her.
After the two of them walked into the box and sat down, Xie Fu said in a cold voice: "I'm pregnant."
A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Ruze's eyes. He didn't expect that Xie Fu would become pregnant after just that one time.
"What are you going to do?"
Xie Fu looked at him coldly and said word by word, "I should be the one asking you this."
Tang Ruze glanced nonchalantly at her belly, which hadn't shown any sign of pregnancy yet, and said with a half-smile, "I respect your opinion. If you want me to take responsibility, we can get married."
"I understand. I won't hide it from you. I plan to give birth to this child, but I don't want it to have anything to do with you. This is my child alone. Let's just pretend that what happened that night never happened. What do you think, Mr. Tang?"
Tang Ruze raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that Xie Fu told him about this matter because she wanted him to take responsibility, but he didn't expect that this was her idea.
"Mr. Xie, if you were a smart person, you shouldn't give birth to this child."
They have no feelings for each other, and even if they are together for the sake of this child, they will only become a pair of resentful couple.
"This has nothing to do with you. If Mr. Tang agrees with what I just said, please sign this agreement."
Xie Fu took out a document from her bag and handed it to Tang Ruzhe. Now Tang Ruzhe said that he didn't want the child, but just in case, Xie Fu still asked a lawyer to draw up this agreement. As long as there is an agreement, it is equivalent to having double protection.
Tang Ruze sneered and reached out to take the document.
After reading all the terms, he was not in a hurry to sign, but put the document on the table with a calm expression.
"Mr. Xie, are you so wary of me? After all, we've been together for a while before. This makes me very sad."
Hearing him mention the past, Xie Fu frowned and her eyes became colder.
"Tang Ruze, there's no need to talk about the past. I'm not interested in reminiscing about the past with you. Sign this. We'll have no further relationship from now on."
When Xie Fu was thirteen years old, she fell ill and went abroad for recuperation for a period of time. She happened to live next door to the Tang family, so she was an old acquaintance of Tang Ruze.
However, Xie Fu used to like Tang Ruze's twin brother Tang Ruxing, and she never had a good impression of Tang Ruze.
After knowing that Tang Ruze returned to the capital to steal the secret key and did a lot of dirty things, Xie Fu hated him even more, but she didn't expect that he would have sex with her after drinking last time.
Thinking of this, Xie Fu couldn't help but frown.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have drunk so much that time.
"I don't want to sign. I suddenly regret it. I want to raise this child together with you."
There was a flash of coldness in Xie Fu's eyes, and she stared at Tang Ruze as if she would spit fire at any moment.
"Impossible! This child is mine alone and has nothing to do with you!"
"Mr. Xie, if I want, there are plenty of ways to let others know that you are pregnant with my child. Why don't we discuss other terms?"
Seeing the teasing in his eyes, as if he was very confident that he could control her, Xie Fu sneered and stood up and said, "At worst, I don't want this child anymore. If you want to use this child to threaten me, I advise you to stop dreaming!"
