Chapter 302: Awakening from a Dream
"That won't do. You can only judge a person by their appearance, not their heart. There have been many news reports lately about people being retaliated against by their ex-boyfriends after breaking up. Young people these days are becoming more and more extreme!"
Chi Muzhen didn't explain any further. He just smiled and drove away.
In the eyes of the security guard, Chi Muzhen is just a rich, love-brained person.
As soon as she left, he immediately notified other colleagues not to drive when they saw Huo Yunting's car.
Chi Muzhen thought about it for the whole morning and finally decided to go back to Qi's house with Qi Yunzhe for dinner.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Yunzhe immediately called the housekeeper excitedly and asked the kitchen to prepare the dishes that Chi Muzhen liked.
"Grandpa, look at this..." After ending the call, the butler handed the written dish names in his hand to Grandpa Qi.
Old Master Qi snorted coldly and said unhappily, "I don't even remember what I like to eat so clearly! Go down and prepare it!"
"Okay!"
The butler had a smile on his face. Although the old man said that he didn't like Chi Muzhen, he was actually happy in his heart. After all, after so many years, the young master finally had someone he liked.
Although Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting had been married before, as long as Huo Yunting did not cause trouble for the Qi family, Mr. Qi did not intend to bring up Chi Muzhen's divorce again.
Just as Mr. Qi was immersed in getting the two to get married as soon as possible, and preferably have two children in three years, a servant walked in.
"Master, Mr. Huo is here."
…
In the evening, Chi Muzhen and Qi Yunzhe walked into the Qi family together.
Mr. Qi was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Chi Muzhen handed him the gift box of tea she had prepared and said with a smile, "Grandpa Qi, this is our first meeting. I heard that you like drinking tea, so I asked someone to bring tea from Qingcheng..."
Before she could finish her words, Mr. Qi interrupted her with a cold expression, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Chi, but I'm afraid I can't afford it."
The smile on Chi Muzhen's face froze for a moment, and she subconsciously looked at Qi Yunzhe and gave him a look.
He hadn't said tonight's meal was a Hongmen Feast, so how could she accept it now? Should she just turn around and leave?
Qi Yunzhe frowned and looked at Old Man Qi, "Grandpa, you were the one who said you wanted Mu Zhen to come to dinner. Why are you deliberately making things difficult for her now that she's here?!"
Old Master Qi snorted coldly and said angrily, "Yunzhe, you've learned everything I taught you since you were a child?! It's fine if you find a divorced woman, but she and Huo Yunting..."
At this point, as if remembering something, Old Master Qi angrily changed the subject, "Anyway, I won't agree to you two being together! If you insist on being entangled with her, then give the Qi family to your cousin. From now on, you will have no connection with the Qi family at all, and you can do whatever you want!"
Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and said calmly, "Yunzhe, Grandpa Qi is a little emotional now. It seems that I am not here at the right time today. I will go back first."
After saying that, Chi Muzhen turned around and left.
Qi Yunzhe subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Old Man Qi.
"Qi Yunzhe, stop right there!"
He turned around and glanced at Old Man Qi, and said coldly, "Grandpa, I don't know why you treat Mu Zhen like this. If you can't accept her, I won't let you meet again!"
"Stop! Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
"Grandpa! Grandpa, what's wrong with you?!"
"Master! The old man fainted!"
Qi Yunzhe's steps suddenly stopped, and he turned around to see that Old Man Qi had his eyes closed. If it weren't for the butler and the servants supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and walked back, but his face was still ugly.
Soon, the family doctor arrived.
After examining Mr. Qi, he looked at Qi Yunzhe and said, "The old man is fine, he's just very angry. But it's best not to let him get too emotional in the future. The old man's body is already weak, and constantly fainting like this will cause irreversible damage to his body."
Qi Yunzhe nodded, "I understand, thank you, Doctor Zhang."
Doctor Zhang didn't say anything else. He prescribed some calming medicine for the old man and left.
Qi Yunzhe was about to leave when the housekeeper stopped him and said, "Young Master, I was originally happy that you and Miss Chi came back for dinner today, but you should never, ever get entangled with a married woman. I am doing this for your own good!"
"What's the meaning?!"
The housekeeper sighed and said slowly, "Boss Huo came this afternoon and told me that he and Miss Chi haven't divorced yet. They are just having a conflict now. I hope the old man can help you separate from Miss Chi."
Qi Yunzhe felt a surge of anger in his heart. No wonder his grandfather's attitude seemed like a different person just now. It turned out that Huo Yunting was behind it!
"I see. I know about this."
"There are so many famous ladies in Rongcheng, why do you have to be with Miss Chi..."
Qi Yunzhe said nothing more and turned to leave the old house.
He called Chi Muzhen and didn't answer until the call was about to be hung up.
"Mu Zhen, I'm sorry, I didn't expect what happened today."
After a few seconds of silence, Chi Muzhen's calm voice came over, "It's okay, I don't mind. But we are a fake couple, do we have to continue pretending?"
There are only a few days left until the end of the month. Obviously, if she holds on a little longer, she can repay Qi Yunzhe's favor, but now she feels a little tired.
"Um."
After getting Qi Yunzhe's answer, Chi Muzhen said calmly: "Okay, I understand. Does Mr. Qi have anything else to say?"
“No more.”
After hanging up the phone, Qi Yunzhe wanted to drive directly to Huo Yunting to settle the score, but another idea soon came to his mind.
The reason why Huo Yunting is so unscrupulous now is simply because he and Chi Muzhen still have a marriage certificate. If that marriage certificate is gone, he will no longer have the right to comment on his behavior of pursuing Chi Muzhen.
Thinking of this, Qi Yunzhe's eyes turned cold and he slowly made up his mind.
The remaining days passed peacefully, and a month passed quickly.
On the last night, Qi Yunzhe asked Chi Muzhen to have dinner together.
Chi Muzhen thought that some things still needed to be made clear, so she let it go.
"Mu Zhen, even though I know it's fake, I'm still very happy this month. I..."
"Mr. Qi, I came here today to make it clear to you that I don't like you. I agreed to be your girlfriend for a month to repay you a favor. From now on, we owe each other nothing." Chi Muzhen interrupted him calmly, without any emotion in her eyes.
Qi Yunzhe felt a pain in his heart, and his voice became a little deeper. "Have you never felt moved by me in this month? We get along so well, and I often see your sincere smile."
Chi Muzhen frowned, "Mr. Qi, I have always regarded you as a friend and never had any other thoughts."
Qi Yunzhe smiled bitterly and whispered, "Okay, I understand. After this meal, let's continue to be friends, okay?"
Seeing the hope in his eyes, Chi Muzhen pursed her lips and nodded, "Okay."
The two finished the meal in silence and sent Chi Muzhen back to the villa. Qi Yunzhe said goodbye reluctantly and then drove away.
Looking at Chi Muzhen's gradually receding figure in the rearview mirror, his eyes gradually turned cold.
Seeing Qi Yunzhe's car disappear from sight, Chi Muzhen turned around and went back to the villa. Just as she reached the door, a person suddenly walked out from the shadows beside her.
Seeing that it was Huo Yunting, a cold look flashed in her eyes, "Huo Yunting, why do you have to haunt me like this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, he grabbed her wrist.
Chi Muzhen looked up and met Huo Yunting's angry eyes.
“Why did the security guard stop my car?!”
