Chapter 737: Too Late to Regret
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Chi Siyi's voice came again.
"I'm calling you because I want you to persuade your friend to stop bothering Tang Ruxing. Your sister Li Nuan has been in contact with Tang Ruxing recently, and they might get married in the future."
Hearing this, Xiao Muzhen frowned, "Mrs. Li, Li Nuan and Tang Ruxing are not married yet, nor have they confirmed their relationship. It's his business which woman he wants to be in contact with. And you might be mistaken. He's the one who's harassing my friend, not my friend who's harassing him!"
"How is that possible?! The Xie family can't even compare to the Tang family. Why is he pestering Xie Fu?! It's obviously Xie Fu trying to climb up the social ladder!"
Chi Siyi's voice was a little sharp because of anger.
Xiao Muzhen sneered, "Don't think everyone is like your Li family. When you see a family that is more powerful than yours, you want to cling to it. Don't call me in the future. I won't answer!"
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen hung up the phone and blocked Chi Siyi.
She originally thought that her aunt who married far away would be smarter than Chi Zhen, but now it seems that she is also a person who can only push the problems onto others.
She put away her phone and stood up to leave. As soon as she returned to the villa, she saw Shen Tian waiting at the door.
"Chen Tian, why are you here?"
Seeing Xiao Muzhen, Chen Tian quickly stepped forward and said, "Zhenzhen, can I stay with you for a while?"
Xiao Muzhen's eyes flashed with surprise, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Shen Tian nodded, "Well, I feel... Tang Dewayne has been a little weird recently..."
"What happened to him?"
"It's just... I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, I just think he's weird. Every time we meet recently, he always stares at my stomach for some inexplicable reason, which makes me creepy. I'll stay with you for a while. If he's back to normal, I'll go back..."
Xiao Muzhen frowned, "Why is he staring at your belly for no reason?!"
As the president of a large multinational corporation, Don Dwayne shouldn't have such a perverted hobby, right?
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come to see you. His eyes really scare me..."
Seeing Xie Fu's grim expression, Xiao Muzhen said, "Okay, let's go inside first."
After the two of them had a simple dinner, Xiao Muzhen gave the second bedroom next to his own bedroom to Xie Fu.
"You're pregnant now, go to bed early. I'll go to the study to take care of some things."
"Well, don't worry about me, just focus on your own things."
Xiao Muzhen went straight to the study and finished the work that had not been completed before leaving get off work. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he received a call from Tang Dewayne.
"Miss Xiao, is Mr. Shen with you?"
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice: “Mr. Wayne, this is Mr. Shen’s private matter, and it seems to have nothing to do with you.”
There was a pause before Tang DeWayne's deep voice came from the other end. "I'm just a little worried because she hasn't come back yet. But you're the only person she knows, so I called to ask you."
“Mr. Wayne, you’re not falling in love with Shen Tian, are you?”
This was the only possibility Xiao Muzhen could think of, otherwise a man would not suddenly care about whether his neighbor was at home.
"No... I just care about you as a friend."
"Mr. Wayne, I think your concern is a bit excessive."
"So... I'll be careful next time. Sorry for bothering you."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen put down the phone, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
Why was Tang Dewayne suddenly so concerned about Shen Tian? And Shen Tian said he was always staring at her belly. Could it be that he wanted to be the father of the baby in Shen Tian's belly?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help laughing. How could she have such a ridiculous idea?
There must be other reasons. If Don DeWayne still behaves abnormally after a while, I will talk to him again.
…
Su family.
Su Baitian felt a headache when he looked at Huo Yunting, who had a cold expression on his face.
"Why are you so stubborn?! Being with Jing Xuechu will only benefit you. Besides, she's the only daughter of the Jing family. From now on, the Jing family will belong to her. If you marry her, it's like you'll get the entire Jing family. By then, you'll have ten Huos. Sometimes I really don't know what's going on in your head."
Huo Yunting looked indifferent. "Anyway, I'm not like you, always thinking of doing sneaky things."
Su Baitian's face turned pale with anger, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?! If you marry Jing Xuechu, it will be a powerful alliance for the Su and Jing families!"
"I'm not interested, and I won't inherit the Su family. If you really can't find an heir, you might as well donate the money."
These words made Su Baitian so angry that he almost suffocated. He must have committed murder and arson in his previous life to have such a son!
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
"Have you forgotten Mr. Wu who dared to throw wine at you at the Jingxuechu banquet? Think about it, has anyone dared to do this to you before?"
Originally, Su Baitian had deliberately arranged for Mr. Wu to embarrass Huo Yunting, letting him know that without power, he would only be humiliated by others. Unexpectedly, Xiao Muzhen and Jing Xuechu came forward to help him...
Thinking of Xiao Muzhen, Su Baitian's heart suddenly moved.
"It's okay if you don't want to inherit the Su family, but have you ever thought about what you would do if someone else inherited the Su family and they wanted to deal with Xiao Muzhen?"
Finally, Huo Yunting frowned, and a frightening coldness emanated from his body.
"If anyone dares to touch her, I will make him regret coming into this world!"
Su Baitian sneered, "Of course you can do that, but protecting her under your wings is better than dealing with the person who hurt her after she's hurt. Which option do you think is better?"
Huo Yunting looked up at him, his eyes cold. "Don't lie to me with such nonsense. If I inherit the Su family, I must marry Jing Xuechu according to your arrangement. What identity will I have and what qualifications will I have to protect her then?"
Su Baitian was choked and slammed the table in anger.
"Okay! You just won't come back no matter what, right?!"
"Yes! I came here today to warn you not to do useless things in the future. I won't be back!"
"Even if I promised not to interfere with you and Xiao Muzhen anymore, you still don't want to come back?"
Huo Yunting's hands hanging at his sides unconsciously tightened. After a long while, he looked at Su Baitian coldly and said, "It's impossible for her and I to be together. And this is all thanks to you, isn't it?"
Su Baitian: "..."
It was not until Huo Yunting stood up and left that Su Baitian spoke to the housekeeper behind him: "A Zhong, did I really do something wrong?"
Maybe it's really not worth it to quarrel with your own son to this extent for a woman...
