"Whether it is fact or nonsense, Miss Xiao should know better than me."

Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "Since you know that I know better than you, don't talk nonsense at my engagement party. If you have time, Mr. Zhao should focus on his own company and don't worry about the next bidding case." If you lose it, then the gain outweighs the loss.”

"you!"

Xiao Muzhen ignored him and raised her eyes to look at everyone with a decent smile on her face.

"Have fun, everyone."

After saying that, he pushed Shi Yiheng off the stage.

Many people who wanted to curry favor with the Shi family and the Xiao family immediately came forward to congratulate the two on their engagement, and Xiao Muzhen all responded with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Muzhen standing next to Shi Yiheng with a sweet smile, Huo Yunting's eyes became extremely cold, and the wine glass in his hand was almost crushed.

Huo Yiyi looked at his gloomy expression with fear in her eyes.

"Brother...since Zhen Zhen is engaged to Shi Yiheng, you should stop pestering her...I will introduce you to another woman who is suitable for you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Yunting's cold eyes fell on her.

"Are you too idle recently? If the workload given to you by the company is not enough, I can go talk to Ke Ning."

Huo Yiyi: "..."

Damn capitalists will use work to pressure her.

God knows, her workload has increased dramatically recently. She is so busy every day that her lunch is cold before she has time to take a bite.

Just like that, Huo Yunting actually said that she didn't have enough work? !

She gave a fake smile and said, "Brother, if you don't like it, forget it, why don't I introduce it to you?"

Huo Yunting didn't say anything more, turned around, put down the wine glass, turned around and left.

Looking at his back, Huo Yiyi felt inexplicably pitiful.

Originally, she was worried that Huo Yunting would do something in public, but now that he didn't do anything and just left silently, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken. After all, he was her own brother.

But... thinking of what Huo Yunting did to Xiao Muzhen before, he deserved this result now.

As the banquet came to an end, Xun Zi and Xiao Tuo stepped forward.

Seeing them, the smile on Xiao Muzhen's face was a little more sincere.

"Dad, Mom, I'm a little busy tonight, so I didn't have time to talk to you."

Xunzi pursed her lips, her eyes filled with confusion.

Ever since she knew what Huo Yunting had done for Xiao Muzhen, she wanted to tell Xiao Muzhen the truth, but fate had a twist. Before she could tell, Shi Yiheng's legs were crippled in order to save Xiao Muzhen.

"It's okay. Your dad and I are going back now. Will you go back with us or go back by yourself later?"

"I'm going to stay for a while longer. You go back first. I'll drive back later."

After Xun Zi and Xiao Tuo left, Shi Yiheng held Xiao Muzhen's hand and said, "Zhen Zhen, you must be tired too. Go to the lounge to rest for a while."

The moment her hand was held, Xiao Muzhen subconsciously wanted to withdraw it, but she still held it back.

Now that I have decided to be with Shi Yiheng, physical contact will definitely be inevitable in the future.

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart, smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll leave this place to you."

"Ah."

When Xiao Tuo and Xun Zi walked out of the hotel, they suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of their eyes.

He frowned and looked over, and said in a deep voice, "Is that Zhen Zhen's biological mother?"

Xun Zi followed his gaze and frowned immediately.

The woman standing not far away was indeed Xu Rou.

"Don't worry, for Zhen Zhen now, she is just a stranger."

After saying that, she turned around and left without looking at Xu Rou again.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rou saw them and quickly stepped forward to stop her.

"Mrs. Xiao, I heard that today is Zhen Zhen's engagement party... Does she... look happy?"

Looking at Xu Rou's Ai Ai expression, Xun Zi sneered, "What does happiness have to do with you? I know very well what kind of life Zhen Zhen lived after she returned to the Chi family. Since you never regarded her as Your daughter, please don’t appear in front of her again in the future.”

Xu Rou trembled and smiled bitterly, "Yes... I was blind and listened to that Feng Shui master, so I was so indifferent to her... She must hate me very much and don't want to see me again."

"You're overthinking it. Zhen Zhen doesn't take you into consideration at all, so I hope you won't disgust her anymore."

"Azi...stop talking..."

Although Xiao Tuo didn't like Xu Rou in his heart, he felt that Xun Zi's words were a bit too unpleasant.

Xunzi glanced at him angrily, "Shut up!"

Xiao Tuo: "..."

Xu Rou on the side took out a box and handed it to Xun Zi, lowered her eyes and said: "Mrs. Xiao, she is engaged, and I have nothing to give her. This is a little bit of my heart. Can you please help me give it to her?" "

Xunzi glanced at the brocade box in front of her but didn't take it.

"Since I haven't given Zhen Zhen any warmth before, there's no need to come out and make people angry on her engagement day. Take your things away, I won't help you deliver them, and she won't take them either."

Xu Rou's hands trembled, but in the end she said nothing and turned around to leave.

Looking at her bleak back, Xun Zi didn't have any sympathy in her eyes. After all, Xu Rou had brought all this on herself.

If she had treated Xiao Muzhen well after Xiao Muzhen returned to the Chi family, the two of them would not have reached this point.

As soon as Xu Rou returned home, she saw Chi Zhen sitting in the living room with a dark face.

"where did you go?!"

Facing his cold gaze, Xu Rou subconsciously hid the things in her hands behind her back.

"I'm just going for a walk."

"What's behind you?!"

Recently, Chi's branch in Beijing has been struggling without the help of Chi Siyi, and the original partners have all terminated their cooperation with him because they did not dare to offend Huo Yunting and the Xiao family. If nothing else, they will soon go bankrupt.

Moreover, in order to enter the capital, the Chi family invested all its resources in this branch. Once the company went bankrupt, the Chi family would plummet.

But he couldn't get the funds and could only watch the company collapse. Chi Zhen had been begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother recently, but to no avail, so he was in a bad mood.

"nothing……"

Chi Zhen didn't believe it, so he stood up and walked to her with a gloomy face.

"Take it out! Don't make me do it!"

When Xu Rou heard the word "action", she winced unconsciously.

Since knowing that the company was hopeless, Chi Zhen has often beaten her, and Xu Rou's health is getting worse and worse.

"Really not...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, Chi Zhen slapped him in the face.

Xu Rou did not dare to resist anymore and took out the brocade box behind her.

Chi Zhen opened it and saw a jade bracelet inside. He frowned and said, "It's just a broken bracelet. What's there to hide?"

After staring for a while, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Rou with a sinister look.

"Don't you think that the company's recent performance is not good and you want to sell the bracelet and run away?!"
