Chapter Thirty: Her "Fiancé"
Huo Zhan frowned as he looked at the message.
He heard her call "Xiao Qi" in her dream, so she must be someone very important to him; it's impossible for her to have disappeared without a trace.
"Mr. Huo, you've had electrotherapy for three consecutive days. Are you feeling any discomfort now?"
Cheng Siyu's words pulled him back to his thoughts, and he said softly, "I feel uncomfortable."
Cheng Siyu: "Could you please explain in detail?"
Huo Zhan: "I haven't seen her for thirteen hours. I'm feeling very uncomfortable!"
"..."
"By the way, I remember you had a personal relationship with my niece Huo Junjun when you were in Kyoto?"
Upon hearing Huo Zhan's words, Cheng Siyu's expression changed slightly, and he gave a dry laugh: "Mr. Huo, what do you mean?"
"Get a clue about someone from her."
"Whose clue?"
"Xiao Qi, someone my Cici can't forget even in her dreams, I must know who he is, what he does, and where he is now!"
Cheng Siyu: "..."
He felt it wasn't a good thing to involve his boss in his personal affairs and wanted to refuse.
But Huo Zhan had already gotten out of bed, removed the electrode pads, picked up his coat, and strode away, leaving only the words, "It's yours now."
He was not given a chance to refuse at all.
Cheng Siyu watched Huo Zhan's departing figure, the words stuck in his throat.
After hesitating for a long time, he took out his phone and typed.
I edited the text message, then deleted it all, then edited it again, over and over, until finally, I sent it.
[Ms. Huo Junjun, long time no see! Are you free? I'm in Jiangcheng, want to have dinner together?]
Suddenly, a notification popped up: [You are not yet his/her friend. Please add him/her as a friend first...]
Cheng Siyu frowned.
...
[Mu Ci, I was so busy dealing with that real estate case today that I completely forgot to eat dinner! Gurgling~ I'm so hungry~~]
Huo Junjun sent a message to Su Muci at 9:30 p.m.
Su Muci replied: 【Do you want to come over? I'll cook you a bowl of noodles.】
[No need, Mu Ci, I'm afraid of disturbing your conversation with my brother. Hehe, honestly, how far have you two gotten?]
【Junjun, our relationship isn't what you think. Your brother is a gentleman.】
A true gentleman? Ha, looks like I overestimated my brother. I'm going to give that blockhead a nudge right now!
Su Muci saw this message and wanted to persuade her, but the next second, another message popped up:
Are you asleep?
It was sent by Huo Zhan!
Su Muchi's pupils contracted. Had Junjun really pushed her over?
...
Huo Zhangang returned to his apartment.
The security supervisor reported to him: "Mr. Huo, someone wants to buy the surveillance video of Ms. Su's floor from our security guards. Can we provide it?"
He calmly replied, "Yes, but charge a higher price, the kind they can't afford."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Zhan's eyes narrowed dangerously.
This is the staff apartment; the other party is determined to investigate Su Su's true identity.
Fortunately, he had people guarding both the radio station and her apartment.
Jiangcheng, a mere city, was no match for him. But after all the back and forth, he grew annoyed.
Huo Zhan picked up his phone and dialed his assistant in Kyoto:
"Have the marketing department come up with a plan to block all business cooperation with the Fu Group within a month!"
After ending the call, a murderous glint flashed in Huo Zhan's eyes.
Suddenly, a reply from Su Muchi popped up on my phone:
[Still awake.]
Huo Zhan looked at the text message, and the anger in his heart subsided considerably.
Remembering watching her live stream replay on the way back, he smiled and lowered his head to type:
In Miss Su's eyes, among the most outstanding men under 30 in Jiangcheng, would I rank in the top three?
...
Upstairs, Su Muci stared at the message, her fingertips hovering over the screen suddenly freezing.
My heartbeat stopped for two beats.
【able. 】
Actually, when the person in the live stream asked that question, his face immediately flashed through her mind.
But when she thought about her background, Su Muci's eyes darkened.
[Mr. Huo, I have a very important birthday party to attend tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now. Goodnight.]
【Okay. To thank Miss Su for ranking me in the top three, I'll cover your dress for tomorrow's party. Goodnight, sweet dreams.】
Su Muci looked at the last text message he sent. Although she was a little confused, she didn't ask any further questions.
She took out a photo frame from the drawer and gently touched the familiar yet distant face inside.
He murmured, "Mom, Zhou Wangyuan used you to force me to attend his birthday banquet. This time, I want to take away the last thing you left there."
"If you also desire freedom, I hope you will bless me and grant my wish."
The air was quiet and still. Unbeknownst to her, Su Muci slept through the night, clutching the photo frame.
"Ding-dong—"
When the doorbell rang early in the morning, Su Muci carefully put the photo frame back in the drawer and left the room in her pajamas.
As soon as the living room door opened, two designers from a luxury clothing store presented her with a pink evening gown that looked incredibly expensive.
Su Muci was shocked, suddenly remembering the message Huo Zhan sent last night.
In such a short time, he actually sent her a dress?
With the help of her teachers, she tried on the dress, and the size fit her perfectly, as if it were tailor-made.
"Miss, your fiancé has excellent taste."
"fiancé?"
Su Muci asked in surprise, "Is that how he introduced himself?"
The makeup artist smiled and said, "That gentleman said this dress was a gift for his fiancée, so our thirty artists worked overnight to hand-make it for you according to your measurements!"
Thirty teachers? Working through the night to produce it?
Su Muchi's throat was so tight that she couldn't speak.
Her best friend's family wasn't particularly wealthy in Jiangcheng, but he had put in so much effort, which made her feel both touched and burdened.
...
Meanwhile, the main hall of the Zhou family's luxurious four-story villa was already filled with elegantly dressed business people who had come to celebrate Zhou Wangyuan's birthday.
Upstairs in the room, Zhou Mengying was wearing a pink dress, and a maid was putting exquisite earrings and necklaces on her.
"Ying'er, this dress designed by the international design master Mingya looks so beautiful on you! Mom is so proud of you!"
Zhou's mother spoke excitedly, and Zhou's father beside her could not hide the approval in his eyes.
After the servants left, Zhou's father said, "Ying'er, I have already learned from Mr. Zero that Huo Zhan, the business tycoon, is in Jiangcheng."
"Today is Dad's birthday banquet, and everyone in Jiangcheng's high society has been invited. He might come too! Take this opportunity to publicly announce your breakup with Fu Hengzhi and sever all ties from now on!"
"As long as Huo Zhan'an is satisfied and you become Mrs. Huo of Kyoto, I, as your father, will rely on you from now on!"
Zhou Mengying looked smug upon hearing these words.
Although Zhou's family has been having a bad time lately because of that GX radio host, and their stocks have also fallen, even Fu Hengzhi, their number one sycophant, has become ineffective. They've been dealing with a female host for days, and she's still able to show up and cause trouble!
But what do these things matter when she marries the Kyoto business tycoon?
Since Fu Hengzhi couldn't even handle the last little thing, she shouldn't blame her for dumping him without any regrets.
As if thinking of something interesting, Zhou Mengying raised the corners of her eyes: "Dad, is my sister here?"
