Chapter 389: Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat
Xun Zi frowned, "But I've already promised Zhenzhen, I think we should respect her opinion."
"When she wanted to return to the Chi family before, we respected her idea. What happened? She later suffered so much injustice in the Chi family, but she refused to tell us a word. We can't make the same mistake a second time!"
Seeing Xiao Tuo's determined expression, Xun Zi was silent for a while, then whispered, "I think it's better to discuss this matter with Zhen Zhen. I've already sent someone to contact the doctor who hypnotized her, and I think there will be results soon."
Anger flashed in Xiao Tuo's eyes, "Azi, letting Zhenzhen recover her memory may not be a good thing."
"You don't have to say anything. Wait until you contact that doctor."
Seeing her expression become firm, Xiao Tuo had no choice but to nod, "Alright, but whether Zhenzhen recovers her memory or not, I will not let her be with Huo Yunting. We must find a way to get them divorced as soon as possible."
The last time he agreed to let Huo Yunting take Xiao Muzhen away was only because Huo Yunting had their marriage certificate. When he found an opportunity, he would definitely let her divorce Huo Yunting and take her back to the Xiao family.
"You don't have to worry about that. Zhenzhen told me last time that she and Huo Yunting have already signed a divorce agreement, which will automatically take effect in three months. As long as Zhenzhen doesn't want to be with him, he won't force her."
Upon hearing this, a hint of suspicion flashed in Xiao Tuo's eyes. He had come into contact with Huo Yunting in the business world, and he was not the kind of person who was easy to talk to.
"real?"
"Can I still lie to you?"
Xun Zi glared at him and said unhappily, "Compared to you, Huo Yunting is much more open about this."
Xiao Tuo snorted coldly, "It's just a game of playing hard to get. If you don't believe me, just wait and see if he really lets Zhenzhen go in three months."
"What if he does what he says?"
"Then I'll give him some big collaborations to thank him for letting Zhenzhen go."
Xun Zi: “…”
Xiao Tuo didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, and whispered: "You have a good rest, I'm going to take a shower first, and I still have some work to deal with later."
"good."
After taking a shower with a heavy heart, Xiao Tuo went to the study and the first thing he did was to call his secretary. He said in a cold voice, "Find a way to hide Dr. Jiang's whereabouts. I don't want my wife to find him so quickly."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao."
…
On the other side, Xiao Muzhen returned to the bedroom, but tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She had only been with Huo Yunting for a few days, so had she already gotten used to having him around?
Thinking of this, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but frowned. This was not a good sign for her. After all, she just hoped that after enduring these three months, the two of them would go their separate ways and have no relationship at all.
The next morning, Xiao Muzhen woke up with dark circles under his eyes.
When I went downstairs, Xiao Tuo was already eating breakfast.
Xiao Muzhen walked over and sat down, and a servant immediately brought her milk and her favorite Western breakfast.
"Dad, how is Mom?"
"Much better, don't worry."
Xiao Tuo looked at Xiao Muzhen and said in a deep voice, "I heard from your mother that you want to regain your memory?"
"Well, I still have many friends and other good memories in the past, and I don't want to forget them all because of Huo Yunting."
Xiao Tuo frowned and said disapprovingly: "If you regain your memory, you and Huo Yunting will definitely continue to entangle."
"No, he and I have already signed a divorce agreement, and we will have no relationship in three months."
"That won't work either. You don't have any memories of the pain you once had. Isn't that good?"
Facing Xiao Tuo's questioning gaze, Xiao Muzhen slowly said, "Dad, I want to know, was it my own decision to ask a doctor to hypnotize me and help me forget the past, or was it a decision you made for me?"
Xiao Tuo was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "It was your own decision. Huo Yunting almost got you burned to death for his ex-girlfriend. After we took you to the capital, you didn't eat or drink for more than a week.
Your mother was so worried that she found a hypnotist who asked you if you wanted to forget the past and start over. You agreed.
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, looked at Xiao Tuo and said slowly: "In this case, I hope that Dad will agree to my wish to restore my memory this time."
"Zhenzhen, I just don't want you to get hurt."
"I know, but I really don't love Huo Yunting anymore. He's not important enough for me to forget my past and my good friends."
Xiao Tuo was silent for a while, then said coldly: "Anyway, I won't agree to this matter, so don't mention it again!"
After saying that, Xiao Tuo got up and went straight to work.
Xiao Muzhen sighed. It seemed that she would have to slowly convince Xiao Tuo about this matter, but she didn't think Xiao Tuo would give in if she went alone.
She took out her cell phone and called Xiao Zhuan, "Third brother, I need your help with something."
When Xiao Zhuan heard that he wanted Xiao Tuo to agree to let her restore her memory, he immediately refused, "Zhenzhen, it's not that Third Brother doesn't want to help you, but you don't know how angry Dad was when he brought you back from Rongcheng. If it weren't for Big Brother and Second Brother stopping him, he would have gone to Rongcheng to settle the score with Huo Yunting right then and there!"
Thinking of that scene, Xiao Zhuan couldn't help but shudder.
"But hasn't the Xiao Corporation been cooperating with the Huo Corporation in recent years? Dad shouldn't hate Huo Yunting that much anymore, right?"
Xiao Zhuan couldn't help but say, "Then go to the Huo Corporation and ask how these collaborations were negotiated... The cooperation between the Huo and Xiao Corporations is basically unprofitable. Huo Yunting is only willing to continue the cooperation because he is attracted by the Xiao Corporation's reputation."
Xiao Muzhen frowned, "But in this case, isn't Dad just being a stepping stone for him?"
"Even if Dad refuses to cooperate with the Huo family, with Huo Yunting's ability, he can help the Huo family gain a firm foothold in the capital. If Dad hadn't been suppressing the Huo family openly and covertly over the past few years, the Xiao family might not even be able to surpass the Huo family now."
"Okay, then I'll go ask my eldest and second brothers if they're willing to help me..."
"I advise you not to ask. The result will definitely disappoint you anyway."
Seeing that he not only refused to help him but also poured cold water on him, Xiao Muzhen snorted coldly and said, "Are you my third brother?"
"It's because I'm your third brother that I'm reminding you. If you really want Dad's approval, you have to talk to him yourself."
Xiao Muzhen couldn't help scratching her hair. She had tried, but failed.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen called Xiao Qi and Xiao Cheng again, and without exception, both of them rejected her.
Helplessly, she had to put the matter aside and get up to go to work.
As soon as I arrived at the company, I saw the designers in the design department whispering to each other, but I had no idea what they were talking about.
She returned to the office and called Ding Yue in directly.
"Ding Yue, what are they discussing outside?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Ding Yue's eyes. "Designer Xiao, you didn't know? Rumors are circulating that Huo Zimeng is Huo Yunting and Chi Xuan's daughter. Yesterday, paparazzi were following a celebrity and unexpectedly captured a photo of the three of them taking a walk. Now everyone on the internet is talking about it!"
