Chapter 713: Rekindling Hope
"You really don't have any feelings for me..."
Xie Fu's eyes flashed with impatience. "How could you have feelings for someone who doesn't care about you at all and even threatens you with his own company's project?"
A hint of disappointment flashed across Tang Ruxing's eyes, "I just... want to see you..."
"But your actions only disgust me. Don't even mention that you care about me. If you really cared about me, why didn't you feel the slightest bit of pain when I waited for you in front of the Tang family's door in the heavy snow that day? Why did you refuse without hesitation when I begged you to let Xiao Shi go?!"
"You want to see me now, but it's because Qingnu was captured and no one can comfort you, so you think of me."
"Your feelings only make me feel sick. If I had to do it all over again, I would never fall in love with you again!"
Tang Ruxing lowered her eyes, and after a long moment, she suddenly chuckled, "So... when I said this to you, this is how you felt..."
"It doesn't matter what I feel. You asked me to come to the bar, and I'm here. Can I go now?"
He raised his red eyes and looked at her with eyes full of sadness and vulnerability.
"I thought...you would always be by my side, but now...even you don't want to be close to me anymore?"
"No one is obligated to accompany anyone for a lifetime, and you are not worthy."
Tang Ruxing nodded, "You're right, go now."
Seeing a hint of hesitation on Xie Fu's face, he added, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to the Xie family."
Just think of it as... protecting the last bit of tenderness in his heart...
Upon hearing this, Xie Fu did not hesitate any longer and turned around and left.
When she went to Country M to find Tang Ruxing, she thought there was still a glimmer of hope for the two of them, but Tang Ruxing's coldness poured a bucket of cold water on her and made her completely sober.
If two people who are not suitable for each other continue to be entangled, it will only cause pain to each other.
Looking at her back, Tang Ruxing's eyes were full of attachment and reluctance.
He really wanted to tell her that he had thought about finding a place where no one was around to be with her.
But in the end, things went against our wishes.
He would never fall in love with anyone else, nor would he love her again.
Let it be, drifting apart, maybe it's the best ending for them.
Being loved by her is a gift from God.
…
After the press conference, Xiao's reputation has reversed. Although many people continue to condemn Xiao, the situation within Xiao has become stable, and partners who previously terminated cooperation with Xiao also plan to re-establish cooperation with Xiao.
Xiao Zhuan naturally accepted all offers. The Xiao family had been badly hurt recently, and it was not a wise move to fall out with these partners now. Besides, there were no eternal enemies or eternal friends in the business world, only eternal interests.
Xiao's stock price has been rising steadily, and most of the owners of Chunjiang Huacheng have cooperated with Xiao to register a lawsuit against the Tang family. After all, no matter how unwilling they are, they have lived in this toxic house for several years. Now that Xiao is willing to compensate them and help them with the lawsuit, they must seize this opportunity to get as much compensation as possible.
The Xiao family's crisis came to an end. Xiao Muzhen breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go see if Huo Yiyi could be cured.
When he saw Huo Yiyi again, Xiao Muzhen had made sufficient mental preparations and was much calmer.
Huo Yiyi was still as innocent as before, smiling and talking to the doll in her arms.
Xiao Muzhen walked over to sit beside her and said softly, "Yiyi..."
Huo Yiyi turned her head and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Xiao Muzhen.
"Who are you……"
"I'm your friend Xiao Muzhen. You used to like calling me Zhenzhen the most. Do you remember?"
Huo Yiyi shook her head, but soon smiled again and handed the doll in her arms to Xiao Muzhen.
"Since you are my friend, then you can play with me."
While speaking, Huo Yiyi picked up another doll on the bed and said with a smile: "Let's change the doll's clothes!"
"good."
Xiao Muzhen's eyes couldn't help but turn red again. Huo Yiyi, who was changing clothes for the doll, seemed to notice something and turned to look at her.
"Why are you crying? Don't you want to play this game? I'll play whatever game you want to play with you! Don't cry! It won't look good if you cry!"
Xiao Muzhen wiped her tears, shook her head and said, "I'm not sad, I'm happy."
Huo Yiyi was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't quite understand what this sentence meant.
"Shouldn't you smile when you're happy?"
"Yes, you should laugh."
Xiao Muzhen took a deep breath to suppress the sadness in his heart and smiled at Huo Yiyi.
"I told you to smile when you're happy!"
After playing with Huo Yiyi for a while, she soon became sleepy, and the nanny who had been waiting nearby came forward.
"Miss Xiao, I'll take care of her sleeping. You can go downstairs and rest for a while."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, stood up and left Huo Yiyi's bedroom.
When she was with Huo Yiyi, Huo Yunting was standing at the door watching. He was surprised to see that Huo Yiyi was not at all opposed to Xiao Muzhen.
You know, when he told Huo Yiyi that he was her brother, Huo Yiyi questioned him.
It was only after the two of them had spent a few days together that Huo Yiyi gradually began to rely on him and trust him.
"Yiyi likes you very much."
"Well, after all, we've been together for so many years. Even though her IQ has become that of a seven or eight-year-old, some habits haven't changed."
"You've been with her for so long, and it's almost noon. Why don't you stay for lunch?"
Xiao Muzhen hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I'll just go back and eat. I made some discoveries while spending time with Yiyi just now. I wonder if they will help her recovery."
"What did you find?"
"I don't think she has the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old. Rather than having a head injury, I think she's more like... hypnotized..."
However, Xiao Muzhen herself was not quite sure. After all, she had never seen a case where hypnosis caused a decrease in a person's IQ.
Huo Yunting frowned when he heard this. He had never thought of this possibility before.
"What you said is also possible. I had a preconceived notion because of what Tang Ruxing said, but I didn't think of other possibilities. I'll go find some hypnosis experts to take a look!"
Huo Yunting turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and looked back at Xiao Muzhen.
"I remember you seem to be able to hypnotize?"
Xiao Muzhen did not hide it, "Well, but I haven't learned it in depth. It's okay to use it on ordinary people. If it's a hypnotist, I might be hypnotized by him first."
"Understood."
Huo Yunting called Ke Ning and asked him to find a hypnotist, preferably one from Country M.
After hearing this, Ke Ning was a little surprised, but he immediately said, "Okay, I'll go right away!"
