Chapter 669: Jewelry
Xie Fu chuckled, her eyes full of mockery.
"What else can I think? He and I are destined to be enemies."
If Tang Ruxing had not been so indifferent to her when she went to Country M, and if his men had not attacked her, they might still have a chance, but now, the two were destined to become opposites.
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and was about to speak when Xie Fu continued, "Okay, you don't have to comfort me. I don't have any expectations of him anymore, and I don't feel sad."
Family is the most important thing to her now.
"Well, did the doctor say how long it would take for you to be discharged?"
"Probably about a week. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll officially start working at Xie's."
Xiao Muzhen frowned, "Afu, you don't have to be so anxious. You just had an abortion and then had a car accident not long after. You should take good care of your body."
She also felt that Tang Ruxing would not attack the Xie family.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "I can work and take care of my health at the same time. My father is already old, and many shareholders of the company are dissatisfied with him and often give him no respect in public during meetings. If I don't work hard to take over the Xie Group, it will be even more difficult in the future."
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes and said, "Afu, you have matured a lot."
"How can I not be mature? Everything I've encountered recently has forced me to grow up. It would be strange if I were still as naive as before."
However, Xie Fu does not think that the current changes are a bad thing. For her, as long as she can protect her family, she is willing to do anything.
"Well, seeing you like this, I'm happy for you."
Xie Fu had experienced too many things before, and Xiao Muzhen was worried that she would be devastated. Now that he sees how motivated she is, he is finally relieved.
After leaving Xie Fu's ward, Xiao Muzhen drove directly home.
After a good sleep, I woke up to see that Shen Tian had called me several times.
She called back, "What's wrong?"
"Finally, you answered the phone. I called to confirm the time with you. Do you think you're free to meet with that client tomorrow night?"
"Sure, just send me the time and place."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen got up, washed up, went downstairs and found that there was nothing in the refrigerator except water, so he simply took the car keys and went out to eat.
As soon as I arrived at the restaurant door, I met Huo Yunting walking out with a man who was also dressed in a suit.
When he saw Xiao Muzhen, his gaze paused for a moment, and then he looked away naturally, as if they didn't know each other.
Xiao Muzhen didn't plan to greet him, and walked in with his eyes lowered.
It took more than an hour for her to finish her meal.
When I walked out of the restaurant, I saw Huo Yunting leaning against the car, holding a cigarette in his hand, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about.
She pursed her lips, knowing that he was waiting for her, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she stepped forward.
"Boss Huo, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Huo Yunting raised his head and looked at her with complicated eyes.
After putting out his cigarette, he finally spoke: "How was your checkup at the hospital that day? Is everything okay?"
"Well, speaking of which, I'm very grateful to you for that day. If there's a chance, I'll treat you to a meal to thank you."
"I'm free tomorrow."
Xiao Muzhen's grip on the bag strap tightened unconsciously, and after several seconds, she smiled. "I might be a little busy lately, and besides, it's not appropriate for us to eat alone. Wait until Yiheng comes back, and then I'll treat you to a meal with him."
Huo Yunting's eyes were filled with coldness. "You are engaged to Shi Yiheng. Do you really like him, or do you just want me to give up?"
"Mr. Huo, this is my personal feeling. There's no need to explain it to you. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Xiao Muzhen turned around to leave, but her wrist was grabbed.
Without looking back, she took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Huo, please let me go."
"Zhenzhen, if I say I'm wrong, will you... come back to me?"
Huo Yunting's voice was very soft. If it wasn't so quiet around him, Xiao Muzhen probably wouldn't be able to hear what he was saying.
Xiao Muzhen lowered her eyes, and after a while she said calmly, "We are not suitable for each other. This is a truth that took me nearly seven years to understand."
Huo Yunting didn't say anything else, but slowly loosened his grip on her wrist.
Xiao Muzhen didn't stop and left quickly.
Only when her back disappeared from his sight did Huo Yunting give a wry smile, get in the car and leave.
As soon as he returned to the door of the villa, a figure suddenly rushed in front of his car.
If the driver hadn't braked quickly, he might have knocked the other person down.
Huo Yunting was originally reading a document, but because the driver suddenly braked, the document in his hand fell to his feet.
He frowned and asked coldly, "What's going on?"
"Boss Huo, someone suddenly rushed in front of the car. I'm going to check..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the rear window and Cheng Shumin's somewhat sharp voice came from outside.
"Yun Ting! I have something important to tell you! Xiao Muzhen killed your cousin, she killed Huo Tianyi..."
Huo Yunting rolled down the car window and looked at her indifferently, "What did you just say?!"
"I said Xiao Muzhen killed Huo Tianyi... How dare she... You must not keep a woman like this. I will call the police to arrest her!"
Huo Yunting's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Who told you this?"
Frightened by his overwhelming aura, Cheng Shumin shuddered before realizing that she had said the wrong thing.
When she came here just now, she was anxious to sow discord between Huo Yunting and Xiao Muzhen, and also wanted to use Huo Yunting to get Xiao Muzhen arrested, so she actually forgot about this matter.
"I...I don't remember, I just heard..."
Huo Yunting sneered, "Why haven't I heard of this rumor?!"
"I really heard it... If you don't believe me, forget it... Anyway, we should stay away from that crazy woman from now on. She might go crazy any day!"
"Ms. Cheng, I don't have much patience. If you refuse to tell the truth, I will have you and Huo Jinsong sent abroad tomorrow. As for your future lives, I will no longer care about them."
Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed in Cheng Shumin's eyes, but she had not yet snatched the Huo family away, and she did not dare to go against Huo Yunting.
"Yun Ting, I really heard... If you want to know who spread it, I'll go ask around and come back to tell you tomorrow... okay?"
"Since you don't want to talk about it, then there's no need to talk about it. I'll have Ko Ning get you tickets to go abroad right away."
Huo Yunting acted quickly and called Ke Ning to book a ticket as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing that he was serious, Cheng Shumin finally got anxious.
If she and Huo Jinsong really went abroad, Huo Yiyi alone would never be able to take charge of the Huo Group in her lifetime.
"Don't... I said, I said... Yes, it was Tang Ruxing who said it!"
At this moment, Cheng Shumin didn't care about Tang Ruxing's threats and just wanted to protect herself.
And if Tang Ruxing and Huo Yunting fight, she might be able to reap the benefits.
She thought that saying this would make Huo Yunting let her go, but Cheng Shumin found that Huo Yunting's eyes looked even colder when he looked at her.
