Chapter 72: Thousands of Troops
"ah!"
Bai Xue Ning covered her face and looked at Bai Zhicheng in disbelief. Shen Ting, who was standing beside her, pushed him away, pulled Bai Xue Ning behind her, and glared at Bai Zhicheng.
"What are you doing?! Do you know how scared Xue Ning has been in the police station these past few days?! Not only did you not care about her, you even beat her! Bai Zhicheng, are you crazy?!"
Bai Zhicheng sneered, "If you hadn't offended Chi Muzhen, the Huo Group wouldn't have severed all cooperation with the Bai Group. You don't have to worry about anything in the police station. Do you know how many smiles I put on the outside and how much I spent to get you out?!"
Shen Ting's face was still full of anger, and she said coldly: "Isn't this what you should do?!"
"If you and Bai Xue Ning hadn't been courting death all day, would I need to apologize to others?! I'm warning you, tomorrow night you two must apologize to Chi Muzhen until she's satisfied!"
Bai Xuening had tears in her eyes and gritted her teeth, "I won't apologize!"
Bai Zhicheng's expression was icy. "You don't have to go, but we will sever our father-daughter relationship from now on. You can do whatever you want to do to your own death."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xue Ning froze in place. After a long moment, she spoke tremblingly, "Dad, what do you mean? You're actually breaking off relations with me for an outsider?!"
"Am I doing this for an outsider?! Do you know how the Huo family has been suppressing the Bai family these days? If this continues, the Bai family will go bankrupt within a month!"
Not expecting things to be so serious, Bai Xuening bit her lower lip and said, "But Xuanxuan clearly told me that Huo Yunting loves her. How could she possibly go against the Bai family for Chi Muzhen?!"
Bai Zhicheng thought of what Chi Muzhen said to him when she left, his face turned cold, "If Huo Yunting really likes Chi Xuan, why doesn't he divorce Chi Muzhen and marry her?"
"It's... it's Chi Muzhen who's dragging her feet and refusing to divorce!"
Unexpectedly, Bai Xuening would be so stupid. Bai Zhicheng sneered and said, "You believe everything Chi Xuan says. Why didn't she go to ask Huo Yunting for help when you went in this time?! Use your brain more! At the banquet tomorrow night, either you apologize to Chi Muzhen, or I publicly announce that I will sever ties with you. It's your choice!"
After saying that, Bai Zhicheng turned around and left.
Bai Xuening looked at Shen Ting, who had been silent since just now, with a helpless look on her face, "Mom, what should I do?"
"Just do as your dad said and apologize!"
"But I don't want to..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen Ting coldly, "Xue Ning, do you know who taught me to find someone to throw paint on Chi Muzhen?"
Bai Xue Ning was stunned for a moment, and had a vague guess in her mind, but she didn't want to admit it.
"Stop talking, Xuanxuan won't hurt me!"
"Think carefully, why was it you who got beaten up last time you and her ran into Chi Muzhen, and not her? Why was it us who got arrested this time, and not her?!"
Bai Xuening's eyes were filled with pain. "Mom, stop talking! We did all this voluntarily. Xuanxuan just wanted to help us!"
"You should have less contact with her in the future, otherwise you will die without knowing how!"
If Bai Zhicheng's words hadn't reminded her just now, she might still be hating Chi Muzhen and thanking Chi Xuan.
Without looking at Bai Xuening's reaction, Shen Ting turned around and left.
Chi Xuan plotted against her and her daughter, she would not let this matter go!
Bai Xue Ning returned to her room in a daze. As soon as she sat down on the bed, she received a call from the crew of "Thousands of Years".
"Ms. Bai, your recent actions have violated our crew's bottom line. After much discussion, we have decided to terminate your contract. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to come."
…
When Chi Muzhen returned to the villa, she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Huo Yunting sitting at the table waiting for her to eat.
She walked over to Huo Yunting and sat down, saying, "Let's eat. You don't have to wait for me next time."
Huo Yunting did not respond to her words, but raised his eyebrows and said: "Are you in a good mood today?"
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Yes, Bai Xuening's father, Mr. Bai, went to MY to apologize to me today, and also said that he would let Bai Xuening and Shen Ting apologize to me in public."
"Finally, the Bai family has someone who knows what's good for them!"
If Ke Ning was around at this moment, he would definitely be complaining. Huo Yunting has already ordered the termination of all cooperation with the Bai family. How could the Bai family not understand?!
Chi Muzhen smiled and said nothing more.
After the two of them finished dinner and sat in the living room watching TV, Huo Yunting couldn't help but look at Chi Muzhen and asked, "What are you going to do about your mother?"
The smile on Chi Muzhen's face faded a little. "I don't plan to do anything. Since she has already said in public that she is breaking off relations, we will just be strangers from now on."
A hint of surprise flashed across Huo Yunting's eyes. "Are you sure?"
After all, Chi Xuan had told Huo Yunting many times before that Chi Muzhen had always been imitating her and wanted to get the same care as Xu Rou and Chi Zhen.
Chi Muzhen frowned and looked at Huo Yunting and asked, "Why are you not sure?"
"I heard that you've always wanted to mend your relationship with Xu Rou. If you had family who cared about you, maybe you'd be happier."
Chi Muzhen put down the fruit in her hand and her expression turned cold.
"Mr. Huo, did the Chi family ask you to be a lobbyist?"
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Xuanxuan came to see me this afternoon, hoping I could persuade you not to pursue this matter any further."
Chi Muzhen looked at him coldly, "And then? You promised her?!"
"No, it's just that I think if things get too bad with the Chi family, you might regret it later, so I hope you can think it through."
"Mr. Huo, you don't need to worry about this matter. I have thought it through clearly!"
After this conversation, Chi Muzhen lost the mood to watch TV series and got up and went straight back to the bedroom.
Chi Muzhen did not come out until Xu Ye finished giving Huo Yunting acupuncture.
After Huo Yunting had a good rest, he hesitated for a while, then pushed his wheelchair to knock on Chi Muzhen's door.
"Chi Muzhen, I want to talk to you."
After several seconds, Chi Muzhen's cold voice came from inside, "I'm already asleep, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Huo Yunting stayed at the door for a while and continued, "Are you angry?"
"No, go back. I'm very sleepy. Don't disturb me."
Huo Yunting didn't say anything else. After a while, he silently turned his wheelchair and left.
The next morning, when Huo Yunting got up, Chi Muzhen had already gone out to work, obviously avoiding him.
Huo Yunting finished his breakfast with a cold face and called Chi Muzhen.
"What's up?"
When Chi Muzhen's cold voice came from the phone, Huo Yunting still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Chi Muzhen, what are you throwing a tantrum?!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds.
"I'm not throwing a tantrum."
"You're not throwing a tantrum, but why did you go to work this morning? If you're not avoiding me, what are you doing?!"
"Mr. Huo, I have a lot of things to do at the company today, so I left early. Do I need to report this to you?!"
"Come with me to the Bai family's banquet tonight. I'll pick you up at MY after get off work!"
After saying that, without waiting for her to speak, Huo Yunting hung up the phone.
A day passed quickly, and when Chi Muzhen was still looking at documents in the company, she received a call from Huo Yunting.
"I'm here, come down!"
