Chapter 7 Division
A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes, but after seeing the name jumping on the phone screen, the expression on his face instantly turned into disappointment.
The call was from Chi Xuan. As soon as the call was connected, her smiling voice came over, "Brother Yunting, my grandfather's birthday is coming soon, and my parents have given me the job of delivering the invitations. Are you free later? I'm passing by the Huo family, so I'll give you the invitations. Can we have lunch together?"
Huo Yunting said calmly, "Okay."
"Okay, that's it for now."
After putting down his phone, Huo Yunting's irritability not only did not ease at all, but instead became even more depressed. He couldn't concentrate on the document in his hand at all.
He didn't expect that Chi Muzhen would be so determined this time and actually be so cruel as to not contact him!
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a knock on the office door, and Ke Ning walked in with a document in his hand. He said solemnly, "Mr. Huo, I just got news that the land in the east of the city seems to be going up for auction!"
Huo Yunting's expression hardened, and he immediately said, "Go notify the person in charge and shareholders of this project. The meeting will start in five minutes!"
When Chi Xuan arrived, Huo Yunting was still in a meeting and it was Ke Ning who received her.
"Ms. Chi, the CEO's meeting just started, and he asked me to take you to his office to wait for him."
Chi Xuan smiled gently, "Thank you."
After sending Chi Xuan to Huo Yunting's office, Ke Ning told him to call him anytime if anything happened and then left.
After the door closed, Chi Xuan walked to Huo Yunting's desk. Just as she was about to put the gold-embossed invitation on the table, she caught sight of a red brocade box beside the table out of the corner of her eye and paused.
This box is obviously used to store jewelry. Considering that my birthday is coming soon, could it be a birthday gift prepared by Huo Yunting for me?
After hesitating for a moment, Chi Xuan picked up the brocade box.
Anyway, they are things he bought for himself, so it should be okay to take a look at them secretly, right?
As she thought about it, she opened the box and what she saw was the necklace that Huo Yunting bought at the Seattle auction.
At that time, she asked him who he was planning to buy it for, but he didn't say anything. Now she realized that he wanted to give her a surprise.
Chi Xuan's mood suddenly became good. She curled the corners of her lips and closed the box and put it back in its place.
It was an hour later when Huo Yunting came back from the meeting.
Seeing Chi Xuan, a hint of apology flashed in his eyes, "I just had a last-minute meeting."
Chi Xuan stood up with a smile and said gently, "Well, I understand. I just ordered food, it should be here soon."
"good."
"By the way, I left the invitation on the table. My grandfather's birthday is next Saturday. Are you free to come then?"
Huo Yunting frowned. "I have to go on a business trip in two days. I may not be able to make it back by Saturday. I'll try my best."
"Oh, by the way... Has your sister contacted you recently? When I called her, it kept showing busy. Do you know where she is now?"
When mentioning Chi Muzhen, Huo Yunting frowned and his voice became a little cold. "What do you want to do with her?"
Chi Xuan pursed her lips and said with a worried look, "You know my sister doesn't have a good relationship with her family. She wasn't recognized until she was sixteen, and she's always felt that my parents favored me. They seemed to have been having a bad time recently. Next Saturday is Grandpa's birthday, so I want to ask her to come back and use it to ease the tension with her family."
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting said coldly, "I'll tell her about this."
Seeing that Huo Yunting seemed unwilling to talk about it anymore, Chi Xuan did not mention the matter anymore and talked about other things instead.
…
Chi Muzhen had just finished the plan when she received a call from Chi Zhen.
"Next Saturday is your grandfather's birthday, come back!"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said in a cold voice: "I recently found a job, so I might be very busy and may not have time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Zhen's angry voice came over, "What could be more important than your grandfather's birthday?! No matter what, you must come next Saturday, preferably with Huo Yunting!"
The Chi family is no longer the same as before. A month ago, Old Master Chi told Chi Zhen to make sure Huo Yunting comes to his birthday party so that he can warn others and prevent them from plotting against the Chi family.
Chi Muzhen thought about it and decided that she and Huo Yunting needed to tell them in person that they were going to divorce, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.
"Okay, I understand. I'll try to make time to go there when the time comes."
Chi Zhen didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.
Xu Rou was somewhat dissatisfied with his behavior and frowned, "You've already asked Xuanxuan to deliver the invitation to Huo Yunting, why did you ask Chi Muzhen to bring this up again?!"
Xu Rou really couldn't like this daughter who didn't grow up with her, even though she looked 70% similar to Chi Xuan.
Not long after she gave birth to Chi Xuan and Chi Muzhen, a Feng Shui master whom the Chi family had always trusted suddenly came to her house and said that if Chi Muzhen stayed in the Chi family, it would cause the Chi family to be destroyed.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, the Chi family finally decided to abandon Chi Muzhen at the door of the welfare home.
Who would have thought that when she was sixteen, Chi Xuan suddenly fell ill, and all the matching attempts of the Chi family were unsuccessful, so they had no choice but to bring Chi Muzhen back.
Because they are twins, Chi Muzhen and Chi Xuan have a high degree of genetic similarity. In the end, the matching was successful. Chi Muzhen donated bone marrow to Chi Xuan, and they kept Chi Muzhen in the Chi family.
But every time they saw Chi Muzhen, everyone in the Chi family would still think of the words of the Feng Shui master. There was a thorn in their hearts, and their attitude towards Chi Muzhen was also very cold.
Especially Xu Rou, who knew that Chi Muzhen was adopted by a countryman in a remote area, felt that Chi Muzhen had a fishy smell on her body, and she felt uncomfortable seeing her standing next to Chi Xuan, whom she had loved for more than ten years.
Later, she always refused to listen to him. Xu Rou would get angry after talking to her for just a few words, and their relationship became worse and worse.
Now whenever Chi Muzhen is mentioned, Xu Rou can't help but feel disgusted.
Chi Zhen glanced at her and said coldly, "Don't forget, Mu Zhen is Huo Yunting's wife now."
Xu Rou sneered disdainfully, "If Xuanxuan hadn't gone abroad, would she have had the chance to marry Huo Yunting?! Anyway, now that Xuanxuan is back, Huo Yunting doesn't like her either. I think it's better for them to divorce as soon as possible and marry Xuanxuan. That way it will be better for everyone!"
Hearing this, Chi Zhen frowned and couldn't help but start thinking about this matter.
Every time he called to hint to Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting to persuade him to help the Chi family, Chi Muzhen refused, which made him very unhappy.
Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting have been married for three years, and they still don't have a child. If he really divorces and marries Chi Xuan, it will be beneficial to the Chi family.
However, Chi Zhen is quite cautious. He will not act rashly before he understands Huo Yunting's thoughts.
"Let's talk about this later. I warn you, don't say anything in front of Mu Zhen without my consent. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, I won't let you go!"
Xu Rou's expression changed, and then she said unhappily: "I know, we'll get divorced sooner or later anyway, and I'm too lazy to be the bad guy!"
After a moment of silence, Chi Zhen whispered, "You should be nicer to Mu Zhen sometimes. After all, we owe her that."
Xu Rou's eyes flashed with disgust, and she said coldly, "If you want to treat her well, treat her well yourself, don't drag me into this! I only acknowledge Xuanxuan as my daughter! And don't forget, that Feng Shui master later..."
"Xu Rou!"
Chi Zhen interrupted her coldly, his eyes full of anger, "If I hear you say this again, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Xu Rou's face turned pale after being yelled at by Chi Zhen, and she didn't recover until Chi Zhen left angrily.
She felt a little scared, and at the same time she felt even more disgusted with Chi Muzhen. If it weren't for Chi Muzhen, there wouldn't be so many problems now!
After get off work in the evening, Chi Muzhen was just about to leave when Shen Tian rushed in.
"Mu Zhen, what are your plans for tonight?!"
