HCB Chapter 109: Mr. Huo has other women around him
Chapter 109: Mr. Huo has other women around him
Inside a restaurant in Beijing, near the floor-to-ceiling windows, five or six elegantly dressed girls were chatting and laughing, with fruits, coffee and various snacks in front of them.
"Sister Xinru, your skirt is so beautiful. It must be a new model from Dior. I saw it in the store last time."
"Oh, why call her Sister Xinru? She should be Mrs. Huo. Our Xinru will marry Mr. Huo in two months. Don't forget to invite us to the wedding."
Chen Xinru smiled faintly. Mr. Huo did not stop the wedding preparations.
Her father was right. As long as the old man approved of her, Huo Yunzheng had to marry her.
"But Mr. Huo is really busy. He has been in Shanghai for so long, and he has left the wedding matters to you alone." Some girls deliberately tried to please Chen Xinru and spoke up for her.
Chen Xinru took a sip of coffee, maintaining her usual gentle and generous appearance.
"Yun Zheng has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and I don't want him to be distracted by these things. Grandpa Huo and the others have been organizing it. In fact, I didn't contribute much. I just chose the wedding dress and the evening gown."
There was obvious arrogance in her eyes, and her words and deeds showed how much the elders of the Huo family valued her as their future granddaughter-in-law.
At the side, a brown-haired girl glanced at her with a somewhat displeased expression.
She has always been disgusted with Chen Xinru's pretentious attitude. Everyone knows that in order to form an alliance with the Huo family, the Chen family has almost trampled down the Huo family's doorstep.
Chen Xinru hasn't even married yet, but she goes to the Huo family every few days.
Also, I heard that in order to marry Huo Yunzheng, she dumped her first love, and the boyfriend seemed to have some mental problems because of it.
"Mr. Huo doesn't seem to care much about the wedding."
"Mu Nian, what do you mean by that? Didn't Xinru say that Mr. Huo is busy with work? Aren't you deliberately trying to sow discord?"
Mu Nian sneered, "I'm not making this up. Doesn't Miss Chen know? Mr. Huo has a woman in Shanghai. She seems to be younger than you and quite pretty."
This one sentence made everyone present silent, and some people went to see Chen Xinru's expression.
In public, Chen Xinru maintained her posture as usual, except that her clenched hands revealed her anxiety and anger at the moment.
"Mu Nian, what are you talking about?" someone asked on behalf of Chen Xinru.
Mu Nian sat there, looking up lazily, "Mr. Tian from Chengguang Group told me personally that he was on a business trip in Shanghai a few days ago and ran into Mr. Huo. He saw clearly that Mr. Huo was shopping with a woman in the mall."
"That man is pursuing me. He told me everything and specifically told me not to spread it. I didn't mean to sow discord. I just didn't want you, Xinru, to be kept in the dark. I have good intentions."
Mu Nian glanced at Chen Xinru with sarcasm in his tone.
She just feels good about herself. As a man, there is no man who doesn't cheat. The wedding is coming up, and he can run thousands of miles away and avoid her under the pretext of being busy with work. Can't you see what it means?
There is no emotional basis between them, it's just the parents' order and the marriage was agreed upon for the sake of benefits. Do you really think you have such a high status in Mr. Huo's heart?
She flaunts the title of the future Mrs. Huo every day. She starts showing off even before getting married. Let her continue to show off!
Mu Nian actually didn’t know whether what Mr. Tian said was true or not, but no matter what the truth was, as long as she could piss Chen Xinru off to death, she would be happy!
"Sister Xinru, don't listen to her nonsense. It's all hearsay. We have seen how good Mr. Huo is to you."
Someone around her tried to comfort Chen Xinru, but there was really no basis for her words.
The Chen family and the Huo family were planning to get married, and the wedding was already being prepared, but for all this time, they had never seen Huo Yunzheng accompany Chen Xinru to do anything.
There was no eating, shopping, or picking up or dropping off for parties.
"Ms. Mu, it's better not to talk about these things without evidence. I don't mind, but if the people of the Huo family hear it, they will think you are deliberately ruining the reputation of the Huo family. You can't afford the consequences."
Chen Xinru spoke quietly, then stood up, "Everyone, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Mu Nian looked at her back and smiled coldly. He used these words to scare her, probably just to protect her pitiful self-esteem.
Although he said he was busy with something, could he be crying secretly in a corner?
Chen Xinru came out of the restaurant, walked quickly to the underground parking lot, sat in the driver's seat, and pounded the steering wheel twice.
She knew very well that Huo Yunzheng had not wanted this marriage for a long time.
Unexpectedly, there was someone else next to him. Regardless of whether the woman surnamed Mu was making it up or not, the seeds of doubt were planted in Chen Xinru's heart.
She remembered that the last time she went to Shanghai to see him, he had carefully hidden the photo frame on his desk.
But she also hired a private detective to investigate, but found nothing wrong.
The more Chen Xinru thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. If it was true as Mu Nian said, that Huo Yunzheng refused this marriage because of another woman, then how could she save face?
She wanted to see what kind of vixen could outdo her, Chen Xinru!
……
Shanghai, inside a kindergarten.
A child has a birthday today. The parents sent a cake and various snacks and are planning to hold a small party at school.
Huo Ziyan sat in his seat, looking at the little boy in a birthday hat at the front of the classroom, and clapped with everyone without any emotion.
"Mrs. Liu, thank you." The female teacher looked at the elegantly dressed woman, and then looked at the child beside her, "Haohao, happy birthday to you!"
The cake was cut and the teacher organized the children to line up to take their pieces.
"Hey, isn't this that little bastard? Did you say happy birthday to our Haohao today? If not, you can't eat this cake."
Huo Ziyan looked up at the woman and the arrogant little fat man, but was too lazy to pay attention to them and turned around.
He doesn't care about it!
"Tsk, you're still so uneducated!" The woman snorted coldly with a contemptuous tone.
The female teacher watching her actions felt that it was inappropriate.
Last time, because of the fight between Zi Yan and Hao Hao, Mrs. Liu and Zi Yan's mother had some unpleasantness.
It is normal for children of this age to have some disputes, and it was indeed Haohao who was wrong last time. Zi Yan was acting bravely to help others. I didn’t expect that Mrs. Liu still remembers it.
It's really too much to argue with a little kid.
"for you."
Diandian, wearing a uniform, looked at the cake handed to her, then looked at the woman.
"I don't want to eat it." Diandian turned around and sat next to Huo Ziyan.
This Liu Jianhao has no manners at all, and so does his mother, so annoying.
Mrs. Liu frowned and cursed, "Humph, as expected, birds of a feather flock together. This girl is also uneducated."
