Chapter 82: Carving a Boat to Look for a Sword
Chi Muzhen frowned and was silent for a while before speaking: "I'll go there after get off work."
"……good."
I hope that after Chi Muzhen comes over, she can resolve the unpleasantness between the two of them, so that all the employees in the company don’t have to worry.
As soon as it was time to get off work, Chi Muzhen immediately drove to Huo's.
This was her first time at the Huo's. They had been secretly married before, and Huo Yunting had clearly said that he didn't want her to go to the Huo's to find him, and she didn't want to make herself unhappy.
Ke Ning came downstairs to pick up Chi Muzhen, "Mr. Huo is still in a meeting. I'll take you to Mr. Huo's office to wait for him."
Chi Muzhen's expression was indifferent. "No need, just take me to the reception room."
At Chi Muzhen's insistence, Ke Ning brought her to the reception room.
"Miss Chi, would you like water or something else?"
Chi Muzhen waved her hand and said, "I don't want to drink anything. Go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about me."
"Okay, then if you have anything, just call me directly."
An hour had passed since Huo Yunting finished his meeting. As soon as he left the conference room, Ke Ning walked up to him and said, "Mr. Huo, is Miss Chi here?"
"Which Miss Chi?"
"Miss Chi."
"Where is she now?"
"The reception room."
Huo Yunting turned his wheelchair and went directly to the reception room. The moment he opened the door, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Chi Muzhen actually fell asleep on the table.
"Mr. Huo..."
"Shut up!"
He turned to look at Koning and whispered, "Go get a blanket."
Five minutes later, Huo Yunting slowly turned his wheelchair to Chi Muzhen's side and gently covered Chi Muzhen with the blanket in his hand.
Chi Muzhen was a light sleeper and woke up in the blink of an eye.
When she saw Huo Yunting, surprise flashed in her eyes. There was mist and confusion in her eyes. It was obvious that she had not fully woken up yet.
"Mr. Huo, will you finish it?"
Huo Yunting looked indifferent, "Well, what do you want to see me about?"
Chi Muzhen was now fully awake. She looked at Huo Yunting and said, "I heard from Doctor Xu that you told him not to come and treat your leg anymore. Why?"
"No reason, I just don't want to be treated anymore."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with disbelief, and he frowned and said, "Mr. Huo, what happened three years ago, do you want to go through it again?"
Three years ago, when Huo Yunting was paralyzed in a car accident, the shareholders of Huo's company began to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power, and Huo Yunting's second uncle took the position of president of Huo's company away from Huo Yunting.
At that time, Huo Jinsong was also framed and had no time to take care of himself. Huo Yunting was depressed for a long time. It was only after his legs gradually recovered that he slowly took back the Huo family from his second uncle.
Huo Yunting's expression was icy, with no warmth in his eyes. "Three years ago was three years ago, and now is now. I won't let what happened three years ago happen again!"
"Then why don't you want to treat your leg?!"
Huo Yunting unconsciously tightened his grip on the wheelchair armrest and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you!"
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with anger, "How can it have nothing to do with me? We said before that we would divorce after your leg was healed. Now you refuse to treat your leg, are we going to be tied to each other for the rest of our lives?!"
As she finished speaking, Huo Yunting sneered, "You've finally revealed your true purpose. You want my leg to heal, but you just want to escape from me!"
Chi Muzhen was speechless and looked at Huo Yunting with a frown.
"You haven't had a fever recently, have you?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I'll heal your leg and we'll divorce. It's a win-win situation. If you don't want to be cured, I'll file for divorce!"
Huo Yunting's eyes suddenly turned as cold as snow, "Chi Muzhen, how dare you!"
Chi Muzhen smiled and said, "Why shouldn't I dare?! If you don't want to treat your leg and give up on yourself, that's your business. Why should I sacrifice my whole life for it? If you want to go crazy, go crazy yourself!"
After saying that, Chi Muzhen turned around and left.
After arriving downstairs at the Huo family's building, Chi Muzhen thought for a while and decided to call Mrs. Huo.
After telling her that Huo Yunting was unwilling to treat his leg, Chi Muzhen drove directly back to the villa.
She had just finished taking a shower and was about to eat when Huo Yunting came back angrily.
"Why did you tell grandma that I won't continue with my leg treatment?!"
Chi Muzhen put down her chopsticks, looked at Huo Yunting calmly, and said word by word, "Grandma will know sooner or later anyway. What's the difference between telling her now and later?"
Huo Yunting's face turned ashen, and he tried his best to suppress his anger.
“You’re awesome!”
Chi Muzhen smiled slightly and said slowly: "If you don't continue to treat your leg, there is no need for me to stay here. I will move out tonight."
"You dare!"
"You can see if I dare!"
Huo Yunting took a deep breath and said coldly, "I can continue to treat my leg, but the prerequisite is that we don't get divorced."
Chi Muzhen rolled her eyes, her eyes full of coldness. "Huo Yunting, whether you can treat me or not is your own business. Trying to use this as a condition to threaten me will only make me look down on you!"
"you!"
Seeing Huo Yunting's angry expression, Chi Muzhen was in no mood to continue eating. She stood up and said, "It's up to you whether to treat me or not. I'm not the one who's disabled anyway. If Chi Xuan abandons you like she did three years ago, you deserve it!"
After saying that, she went straight back to the bedroom and started packing her things.
When I was halfway through cleaning up, Huo Yunting came in.
"I will continue to treat my leg, and you can't move away!"
Chi Muzhen rolled her eyes silently, threw the clothes she had sorted out on the bed, and said unhappily, "Shouldn't you have done this earlier? You need others to coax you to treat your own legs, you're crazy!"
Huo Yunting: "..."
After this incident, the two of them returned to their previous peaceful lives.
Soon, Mrs. Huo’s birthday arrived.
The two of them hadn't mentioned anything about Mrs. Huo's birthday gift during this period, but they both knew that it was impossible to give it together.
Chi Muzhen left work early, went to the store to pick up the Buddhist beads that she had ordered several months in advance, and went directly to Heyuan.
Old Mrs. Huo didn't want to have a grand wedding, but this year was her 70th birthday. At the insistence of Huo Jinsong and Cheng Shumin, she invited many business celebrities from Chengdu to attend.
When Chi Muzhen walked into the living room of Heyuan, many guests had already arrived.
Cheng Shumin was talking to Chi Xuan when she saw Chi Muzhen. She immediately turned her face away with a dark look, pretending not to see her.
Chi Muzhen didn't care and went straight to find the old lady.
When Mrs. Huo saw her, she smiled kindly, "Zhenzhen, you're finally here. I thought you forgot my birthday."
Chi Muzhen handed over the brocade box in her hand and said with a smile: "How dare I forget, grandma, happy birthday!"
Old Mrs. Huo took out the brocade box, opened it and saw a string of Buddhist beads inside, and she immediately smiled.
"Zhenzhen really knows my preferences. I like it very much. Thank you Zhenzhen!"
Seeing that Old Lady Huo put on the Buddhist beads on her hand on the spot, everyone also understood how important Chi Muzhen was in Old Lady Huo's heart.
"By the way, where's Yun Ting? Why didn't he come with you?"
