Chapter Seventy-Six: Inviting Fu Hengzhi to the Wedding
After finishing filming her program at Su's Radio Station, Su Muci immediately planned to call Huo Junjun.
But suddenly an unfamiliar number popped up on the screen.
She frowned as she answered, "Hello?"
"I heard you went to try on wedding dresses?"
The unexpected remark from the other end of the phone made Su Muci's mood sink instantly.
It's Fu Hengzhi's voice!
Su Muci has already blocked two of his numbers. Is this his new number?
"Fu Hengzhi, I already made myself clear last time! Please don't contact me again!"
"Ha, then why did you go and try on wedding dresses?"
"My trying on wedding dresses is none of your business."
"Now you say it has nothing to do with me, but a couple of days later you'll come to me in a wedding dress with flowers, planning to surprise me?"
"..."
Hearing the mocking laughter coming from the phone, Su Muci suddenly had a feeling that Fu Hengzhi was stuck in a dead end, thinking that she must have tried on wedding dresses for him.
Su Muci didn't want to explain to him anymore: "Is this your phone number?"
"Not bad, new number."
"Okay, I'll send you the address later. I'll let you see me in person, holding flowers and wearing a wedding dress."
Su Muci made a last-minute decision to invite him to her wedding with Huo Zhan.
This will make him give up completely and stop bothering you.
After listening, Fu Hengzhi laughed: "Cici, you've finally stopped pretending and admitted that everything you did was to win me back!"
Su Muci also laughed, but it was a helpless laugh, a mocking laugh.
“Young Master Fu is right. I love you so much. I won the championship in the radio station’s annual anchor competition to attract your attention, and I’m getting my wedding dress today so that you can see the most beautiful me.”
"And what about Zeron?"
"Him? Of course I'm just using him, to make Young Master Fu feel threatened, to let you know how precious I am. Who told me to love you the most?"
"Hehehe, Cici, you've finally admitted that the person you love is me. I'll wait for you to wear a wedding dress and come to me."
Fu Hengzhi hung up the phone with a happy and satisfied expression.
Su Muci looked at the screen and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fu Hengzhi, your arrogance filled you with hope, yet you turned around and saw me marry someone else. Perhaps that is the best revenge for you!"
"As for Zhou Mengying, the more you try to destroy me, the happier I want to be!"
After careful consideration, Su Muci felt that Zhou Mengying's words were not something to be taken too seriously.
If Huo Zhan's uncle really is with Zhou Mengying, that is his family matter, and she has no right to interfere.
...
In a private tea house near Kyoto Airport, Huo Qingxue slowly entered with her cane and sat down on the sofa.
The two bodyguards accompanying them were positioned with one guarding outside and the other serving inside.
About two minutes later, Huo Zhan rushed over. Upon seeing who was in the private room, he spoke with respect:
“Mother, you can just make a phone call if you need anything. Why bother coming all the way to Jiangcheng in person?”
As he spoke, he calmly sat down opposite Huo Qingxue.
Huo Qingxue put down her teacup, glanced at her son who had been missing for over a month, and said with dissatisfaction, "You dared to act first and report later. If I hadn't come, who knows what might have happened?"
Huo Zhan personally poured hot tea for his mother, his voice gentle and steady: "The matter was sudden. I originally intended to wait until everything was arranged before bringing her to formally meet you."
"Suddenly?" Huo Qingxue raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger. "Back then, as the daughter of a wealthy family in Kyoto, I impulsively married your father and came to Jiangcheng with him. After more than twenty years of marriage, I have personally experienced how unbearable a marriage between people of unequal social standing can be."
"To give you the best education, I was willing to divorce my wife and take you back to Kyoto, rather than abandon your unambitious father from a poor family. Your grandparents and I have used all our resources to give you the best education and resources, bringing you to the top of the pyramid, but you have jumped back down on your own."
"So many young ladies from prestigious families are practically begging to see you, and you don't even blink an eye, going straight to Jiangcheng to get married? Tell me, what kind of woman can compare to those noble ladies raised in the capital!"
Her disdain for Jiang Cheng was undisguised. In her view, given her son's qualifications, he should be matched with a daughter from a prominent family of similar background who could provide support in his career.
Huo Zhan had anticipated his mother's reaction. He did not refute her directly, but instead raised his eyes, looked at his mother calmly, and slowly said, "Although she was not born into a prestigious family, she is just as outstanding as you."
"The same as me?" Huo Qingxue was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
Huo Zhan smiled and said, "Her name is Su Muci. She is gentle and kind-hearted. She is also the champion of the Jiangcheng Annual Anchor Selection Competition and is the true flower of Jiangcheng Radio."
The Flower of Jiangcheng Radio?
Upon hearing this, a fleeting ripple crossed Huo Qingxue's eyes.
In her youth, she was a popular radio host in Jiangcheng and was known as the "flower of radio" at the time.
This was a period of her youth that she was quite proud of.
Huo Zhan's words cleverly placed Su Muci and her in the same evaluation system.
If she were to say now that Su Muci is not good enough for the Huo family, wouldn't that be a denial of her own past self?
Huo Qingxue was taken aback by her son's blunt retort and was momentarily speechless.
She glared at Huo Zhan, both amused and annoyed: "If it's really as good as you say, why didn't she dare to come see me today?"
Huo Zhan sensed that Huo Qingxue's attitude was softening, sighed, and said, "I haven't won her over yet, and I'm afraid your appearance will disrupt my plans."
Huo Qingxue: "What plan?"
What does that mean? She didn't quite grasp it.
Huo Zhan explained, "She still doesn't know who I am."
"!"
Huo Qingxue's eyebrows twitched slightly. "You mean, she's not just after your status and wealth? You've been keeping this young girl in the dark?"
Huo Qingxue originally thought that Su Muchi was only after Huo Zhan's wealth and status in order to climb the social ladder and achieve upward mobility, since there were too many women in the capital with such intentions.
Hearing Huo Zhan say this, Huo Qingxue dispelled her suspicions and began to side with Su Muci.
After all, she knew her son's character well. He had been ruthless in the business world all these years. She wondered if her son would use those same methods on women.
Huo Zhan did not deny it: "Yes, I used some tricks to win her heart. Our wedding date is set for next Wednesday. By then, the deed will be done, and I will bring her to meet you."
"I hope Mother won't expose my plan, unless... you want to see me grow old alone."
Huo Qingxue was completely speechless. "Fine, I won't see her for now, but I must see that girl in person on your wedding day!"
Huo Zhan smiled slightly: "I understand. By the way, would you like to meet the Huo family?"
When Huo Qingxue divorced her ex-husband, she had a very bitter falling out with him and vowed never to speak to him again. However, when she thought about her son and two grandchildren, her eyes gradually softened.
"I'll arrange a meal after your wedding."
“My son understands.”
Huo Zhan checked the time. "Mother, let me take you to your lodgings first."
Huo Zhan settled Huo Qingxue in another villa in Yun Jing Mansion, not far from theirs.
Once things were settled, he planned to drive to pick up Su Muci.
Suddenly, I received a text message.
The text message contained an audio recording. He opened it, and his phone immediately played a segment of the recording:
"What Young Master Fu said is all true, I love you so much... And what about you, Zeron?...Him? Of course I was just using him, because I love you the most."
Immediately afterward, another text message popped up: [Zeron, did you hear that? Su Muci is just using you. No matter what you do to me, it's all in vain. She's mine!]
