Chapter 99: Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage
Xu Rouqi's heart ached, and she looked at Chi Muzhen with disgust and anger.
"You become like this because you hang out with scumbags like this all the time!"
Chi Muzhen's expression was indifferent, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
"Whatever I become, it seems to have nothing to do with you."
Xu Rou looked at her coldly, "If you hadn't caused the cooperation between Huo's and Chi's to be cancelled, do you think we would be willing to come to you?!"
Chi Muzhen frowned and called Huo Yunting directly.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Why did you call me suddenly? What's wrong?"
Chi Muzhen sneered, "Isn't this what you expected?!"
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds, and his voice became lowered. "What do you mean by that?"
"Mr. Huo, you deliberately canceled the cooperation with Chi's company. Isn't your purpose to make Mr. Chi and Ms. Xu cause trouble for me and force me to come to you?!"
"Where are you now? I'll be right there!"
Chi Muzhen's expression was indifferent. She spoke word by word, "I'm calling you just to tell you not to use the Chi family to cause trouble for me anymore. We no longer have any relationship!"
After saying that, Chi Muzhen hung up the phone directly.
Xu Rou and Chi Zhen at the door were stunned by her actions, and no one spoke for a while.
After several seconds, Xu Rou pointed at her tremblingly, "Chi Muzhen, how could you treat Mr. Huo like this? Call him and apologize!"
If Chi Muzhen completely offends Huo Yunting this time, there will be no chance of any good cooperation with Chi Shishi in the future!
Looking at Xu Rou's angry expression, Chi Muzhen slammed the door of the villa with a bang.
If Xu Rou hadn't retreated quickly, her face might have been hit by the door.
She was so angry that she jumped up and down, yelling at the door, "Chi Muzhen, you are really going against the will of heaven! Are you crazy?!"
Chi Zhen frowned unconsciously as he looked at Xu Rou, who looked like a shrew.
He remembered that Xu Rou was as gentle as her name suggested. When the Feng Shui master said that Chi Muzhen would destroy the Chi family, and he said he wanted to throw Chi Muzhen away, she would just sit on the bed and cry silently.
When did she slowly become like this, even to the point where she seemed a little unfamiliar to him?
Perhaps she had changed in his eyes since the day he realized he didn't love her.
Xu Rou cursed for a while, but when she saw there was no response from inside, she finally stopped.
Turning around, she saw Chi Zhen staring at her in shock. She frowned, "Why are you looking at me?!"
Chi Zhen came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it looks like she won't open the door, let's go back."
Xu Rou was silent for a while and was about to leave with him when suddenly the sound of a car was heard.
The two turned their heads at the same time, and a black Maybach came into view.
Chi Zhen immediately recognized that it was Huo Yunting's car. His expression changed unconsciously and he hurried over. Chi Xuan, who had been sitting in the car, also got out and walked over.
As soon as Huo Yunting got out of the car, Chi Xuan's weak voice sounded beside him.
"Brother Yunting, why are you here?"
"Mr. Huo..." Chi Zhen also went to meet him.
Huo Yunting didn't even glance at them. He walked straight to the gate of the villa, knocked on the door, and said, "Chi Muzhen, open the door. I want to talk to you."
A few seconds later, Chi Muzhen's cold voice came from inside.
"I have nothing to talk to you about. Please go away."
At this moment, in the living room of the villa, Chi Muzhen and Zhen Yan were eating melon seeds and watching TV.
Hearing Huo Yunting's voice, Zhen Yan rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Your awful parents have already finished their fight, and your ex-husband who caused the dispute has only just arrived. Tsk, none of them are good."
She originally thought her parents were weird enough, but after meeting Chi Muzhen's parents today, she finally understood what it meant that there is only weirder and there is no such thing as the weirdest.
In comparison, her parents seemed quite normal.
Chi Muzhen put the melon seeds in his hand back, clapped his hands and said, "Don't mention unhappy things. I'm going upstairs to take a shower. You can go to bed early after watching TV."
"good."
Outside the door, Huo Yunting's face darkened when he heard Chi Muzhen's answer.
He turned around and looked at Ke Ning coldly, "What did you tell Mr. Chi?"
Sensing that Huo Yunting was angry, Ke Ning said tremblingly, "I'm saying that if you want Huo's to continue cooperating with Chi's, then let Mr. Chi come to see Miss Chi..."
Huo Yunting turned and walked towards Chi Zhen, his whole body as cold as if it had been frozen for a thousand years.
"Boss Chi, I told Chi Xuan very clearly yesterday that you wanted to treat me to a meal, and to treat my wife as well. Not only did you fail to invite my wife, but you even made things difficult for her by coming here today, didn't you?!"
Under Huo Yunting's extremely cold gaze, Chi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little scared.
That was the pressure from the superior. Although he was also the president of Chi Group, due to the difference in status, he did not have the domineering aura of Huo Yunting.
Chi Zhen's lips trembled, "Boss Huo... We called her yesterday, but she refused to go, and I had no choice..."
Huo Yunting sneered and spoke slowly, "I only agreed to give the project to Chi's because of my wife. Since you're making things difficult for her, I have no choice but to make things difficult for Chi's too!"
Chi Zhen's eyes flashed with disbelief, and his pupils shrank unconsciously.
"No... didn't Xuanxuan call you to beg for mercy, and did you give those projects to Chi's for Xuanxuan's sake?!"
How could it be because of Chi Muzhen? !
Didn't he always hate Chi Muzhen? !
Chi Xuan and Xu Rou on the side also changed their expressions.
Ever since Huo Yunting agreed to cooperate with Chi Group, Chi Xuan has always felt vaguely uneasy, because she always felt that Huo Yunting agreed to cooperate with Chi Group not because of her.
Now... this uneasiness has become a reality. She couldn't believe that he was actually doing it for Chi Muzhen!
How could he? !
Xu Rou looked at Chi Xuan angrily and said through gritted teeth, "Xuanxuan, didn't you tell me that day that President Huo agreed?! What's going on?!"
Xu Rou became extremely angry when she thought about being deceived!
She took Chi Xuan to buy things worth nearly ten million that day, but she cheated herself!
For Xu Rou, spending money was secondary. The most important thing was that her daughter, whom she had always been proud of, actually lied to her!
This was unacceptable to her!
Chi Xuan bit her lower lip, her face turned pale and blue, not knowing how to explain.
A hint of coldness flashed in Huo Yunting's eyes. "I have never promised anything to anyone. You should find a way to apologize to my wife. As long as she doesn't forgive you, the cooperation between Huo's and Chi's will be postponed!
If she still hasn't forgiven you after a month, there are plenty of companies that want to do those projects!"
After saying that, without even looking at their ugly faces, he got into the car and left.
The three of them stood there, each with their own thoughts, and no one spoke for a while.
Finally, Xu Rou spoke first.
She looked at Chi Xuan with anger in her eyes, "Xuan Xuan, I'm so disappointed in you! I didn't expect you to lie like this!"
