After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Forty-Six Not Qualified

"Zhao Baixue isn't your girlfriend?" Mu Xi asked in surprise. "But the news media are saying you two are getting married soon. Since you're not in that kind of relationship, why doesn't President Gu deny it?"

Gu Heng remained silent.

"Mu Xi, let's go." My voice was indifferent.

"This way," Mu Xi said, pulling me along.

"Shen Yan!" Gu Heng grabbed my wrist: "Don't go."

He was afraid I would disappear again.

I shook off his hand: "Please show some respect. If you dare to touch me again, I will call the police. Think about your status. You don't want to go to jail for indecent assault, do you?"

Gu Heng was stunned.

Mu Xi pulled me away.

Gu Heng wanted to catch up.

Zhao Baixue stopped him: "Gu Heng, you can't get close to her anymore. Think about the Gu family."

Gu Heng said coldly, "I'm not afraid of them."

He is no longer the Gu Heng of the past.

Zhao Baixue asked, "And what about your father?"

Gu Heng's expression was solemn.

“You’ve already dealt with the Gu family, but that man is still your father.” Zhao Baixue paused. “You’ve worked so hard to get where you are today, so you can’t be careless now.”

He didn't speak.

Zhao Baixue said cautiously, "Let's go back."

"Go back by yourself." Gu Heng strode away.

Zhao Baixue bit her lip.

Why would Shen Yan come back at this time?

A few days later, she will be able to marry Gu Heng smoothly.

hateful!

-

In the box.

I scolded Mu Xi: "Mu Xi, why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm innocent," Mu Xi explained. "Someone invited them to dinner, and they just arrived. I didn't have time to notify them."

I'm speechless.

"Here, have some tea." Mu Xi poured a cup of tea: "This is my personal treasure."

I won't move.

"Alright, I just wanted to show you that Gu Heng and Zhao Baixue aren't like what the reports say." Mu Xi put down her teacup. "Back then, when Zhao Baixue bullied you, I just wanted to show you how much Gu Heng disliked Zhao Baixue."

"Mu Xi, I know you meant well," I explained.

"It's good that you understand." Mu Xi placed the teacup in my hand: "Let me tell you, they often come here to eat. This isn't the first time Gu Heng has given Zhao Baixue the cold shoulder. Outsiders all think that Zhao Baixue is living a glamorous life after the Zhao family went bankrupt, but that's not the case."

"How did the Zhao family go bankrupt?" I wondered.

"I offended someone, that's all." Mu Xi shrugged. "As for who I offended, I don't know."

She poured herself a cup of tea and slowly sipped it.

"Let's not talk about them anymore. How are you doing?" I asked.

Mu Xi smiled and said, "I'm doing great. Look how comfortable I am."

She showed it to me.

But I couldn't sense it: "Mu Xi, we've been friends for so many years. Even if we haven't seen each other for the past few years, do you think I can't tell if you're genuinely happy or not?"

Mu Xi said bitterly, "Oh dear, you actually figured it out. My parents and everyone around me thought I was so glamorous marrying Huo Xiao."

Huo Xiao?

"Huo Xiao?" This was the first time I had heard of him.

After all, in her previous life, Mu Xi had an accident right after her college entrance exam.

I'm already very happy that she's alive and well.

She thought she had escaped the tragic events of her past life, but fate still wouldn't let her go.

"Haha, you don't need to worry about me." Mu Xi comforted me instead: "Huo Xiao's health isn't very good. The Huo family is urging me to have a child, but what's the use of urging me? He's always clinging to his white moonlight. I moved out of the villa a long time ago. Out of sight, out of mind."

"Do your parents know?" I frowned.

"They don't know, and Huo Xiao has tacitly approved of it. He'd love for me not to show up, since we'll always appear together during holidays anyway." Mu Xi looked at me: "Do you have a place to stay?"

"Not yet," I said. "I'm staying in a hotel these days."

"Don't stay in a hotel, stay here with me." Mu Xi said with a smile, "My home is nearby, within the first ring road, with convenient transportation and everything you need."

I hesitated.

"Come on, I'm so bored living alone," Mu Xi pleaded.

"Okay," I could only agree, "I'll go to the hotel to get my luggage in a bit."

"Mm!" Mu Xi nodded.

I took a sip of tea: "By the way, you married Huo Xiao. Is there some kind of relationship between him and Huo Yubai?"

"You're finally interested, aren't you?" Mu Xi was still a little excited.

I said helplessly, "It was just something that came up suddenly."

"Alas, what a pity. Although Huo Xiao and Huo Yubai are from the same family, they separated their families a long time ago." Mu Xi sipped her tea. "They are cousins. Their grandfathers were brothers. Then, in their grandfathers' generation, the family separated. However, they still have some contact during festivals. But I'm not very familiar with Huo Yubai's situation. I only know that Huo Yubai is an illegitimate child."

It turns out that the Huo brothers, Huo Yushen and Huo Yubai, really are related to the Huo family I knew in my past life.

It turns out they were also illegitimate children.

"Do you think our Haicheng is teeming with illegitimate children?" Mu Xi complained, "Just tell me how many we know, and that's from people right around us."

"It was just a coincidence," I explained.

"I almost forgot to tell them to serve the food!" Mu Xi stood up: "I'll go check."

I nodded, and then drank my tea alone.

After a while, I heard arguing outside.

It has Mu Xi's voice.

I went out immediately.

Come to the lobby.

Mu Xi pointed at a woman: "What are you doing here? Do you think I'm being too nice to you?"

"Miss Mu, I didn't mean to." The woman was plain-looking and thin, with only her eyes showing a hint of innocence.

"You didn't do this on purpose?" Mu Xi said angrily. "You came here to celebrate your birthday, what are you trying to do?"

"Mu Xi, what are you doing?" A young man walked over and stood next to the woman, his brows furrowed. "I chose to have her celebrate her birthday here. Why are you blaming her?"

Mu Xi gritted her teeth.

"Since you know this is your wife's hotel, yet you brought another woman here to celebrate your birthday, I'm quite curious. Are all adulterous couples this brazen these days?" I casually walked over. "The world has really changed. Adulterous couples are so self-righteous."

"Yan Yan, why did you come out?" Mu Xi was taken aback.

Huo Xiao glared at me: "Who are you?"

"What do you want? Trying to find out if I can offend you?" I said sarcastically. "Miss Su, the man you're having an affair with isn't much better. He wants to stand up for you but hesitant and timid."

Su Ran looked embarrassed.

"Mu Xi, who is she?" Huo Xiao questioned.

Mu Xi said calmly, "My friend."

"Your friend?" Huo Xiao asked coldly. "Aren't you the one who's ruining my and Su Ran's reputations?"

Mu Xi frowned. "Huo Xiao, are you sick? You brought people here to disgust me. What did my friend say wrong?"

I glanced at my phone, my eyes darkened, and I walked up to Huo Xiao: "So it turns out your brother is the one in charge of your family. Looks like you're not qualified to talk to me."
