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

Chapter 47 Can you give me a ride?

Huo Xiao glared at me furiously: "You bitch, do you know who I am?"

"Why should I know about someone as rude and morally bankrupt as you?" I said sarcastically.

"You!" Huo Xiao looked like he wanted to tear me to pieces.

"Huo Xiao, how dare you!" Mu Xi ordered.

"Huo Xiao." A deep, cold voice came from the direction of the door.

Mu Xi and Huo Xiao both showed a hint of surprise in their eyes, while Su Ran was more terrified.

A man who looked somewhat like Huo Xiao walked towards us. He was wearing a well-tailored black suit and exuded a cool and aloof air.

"Big brother," Huo Xiao complained, "this woman is disrespectful to our Huo family!"

"Respect?" I sneered. "What's wrong with the Huo family? Do you think this is the Qing Dynasty? There's still a distinction between superiors and inferiors. Your Huo family should be ashamed because you're the only one with such a despicable character!"

"You!" Huo Xiao glared at me through gritted teeth.

"Big brother," Mu Xi said softly, "this is my friend Shen Yan. Actually, about this matter..."

The man raised his hand, signaling her to stop talking: "Huo Xiao, I'll give you one minute. Take this woman and get out of here right now."

"Big brother?" Huo Xiao was taken aback.

He looked like he didn't understand.

"Get out!" the man said coldly. "Huo Xiao may be deaf, but Su Ran, your ears are fine."

"Let's go now." Su Ran pulled Huo Xiao away.

The man looked at Mu Xi with his dark eyes: "I apologize on his behalf."

"Brother, you're too kind." Mu Xi said awkwardly, "I didn't want to cause trouble, but he insisted on coming to my hotel to annoy me."

“I understand.” The man glanced at me and then said, “I’ll be entertaining distinguished guests later, please make the arrangements for me.”

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare. This way, please, brother." Mu Xi gave me a wink.

I nodded in understanding.

Mu Xi left with the man.

I frowned slightly, looking at the message Xia Zhe had just sent, my expression was terrible.

How dare Huo Xiao bully Mu Xi like this! It's outrageous!

Mu Xi returned quickly, smiling sweetly: "Why didn't you go inside and wait?"

"The air is nice outside." I looked at her. "Is that Huo Xiao's older brother?"

“His name is Huo Yi, and he’s Huo Xiao’s half-brother.” Mu Xi whispered, “He’s a bit cold-hearted, but much better than Huo Xiao. He helped me get this hotel up and running.”

"Given Huo Xiao's terrible character, it's only right that the Huo family contributes money and effort." I frowned slightly: "How did your parents even agree to this marriage?"

"It was all thanks to Old Madam Huo's persistent pleading that my parents had no choice but to agree after the Huo family helped them through a difficult time. However, we agreed that if we didn't have children in five years, we would get a divorce. There are still six months left."

I worried, "Even so, would the Huo family really let go of such a good daughter-in-law like you?"

Mu Xi said awkwardly, "Only you think I'm good. Huo Xiao's mother thinks I'm never home and don't know how to win my husband's heart. She said I have no heart for Huo Xiao."

"Does this kind of scum deserve it?" I was even more furious.

"Forget about him, I can ask Huo Yi for help later anyway." Mu Xi smiled and said, "Let's go eat."

"Yeah." I nodded.

Mu Xi arranged the best meal to treat me.

During the meal, we talked a lot, and our relationship remained the same as it was in high school.

After dinner, Mu Xi urged me to move my luggage so I could stay at her place tonight.

I couldn't refuse her, so I agreed to wait until she got off work before going.

I came out of the private room.

While we were chatting and laughing.

Huo Yi and a man also came out from another private room.

I was stunned.

"Huo Yubai," I said slowly.

Huo Yubai gave me a deep look, his handsome eyebrows slightly lowered.

He has completely changed.

Five years ago, he was a violent and arrogant school bully.

Nowadays, he wears a suit and tie, with his hair slicked back, metal-framed glasses, and an expensive and sophisticated watch, exuding elegance and aloofness.

"Do you know him?" Huo Yi asked.

"Hmm." Huo Yubai nodded. "Classmate."

Huo Yi looked at me. "What a coincidence."

"So the distinguished guest you're entertaining is Huo Yubai, brother." Mu Xi was also surprised: "I heard you just returned to the country?"

"Hmm." Huo Yubai couldn't help but glance at me. "You just got back yesterday."

“Yan Yan too,” Mu Xi said with a smile.

Huo Yubai and I remained silent.

The atmosphere is subtle.

Huo Yi said, "You've been drinking, shall I take you home?"

"No need," Huo Yubai said calmly. "You can go back now."

Huo Yi seemed to understand something: "Okay, see you another day."

Huo Yubai nodded.

"I'm leaving." Huo Yi looked at Mu Xi.

Mu Xi's big, dark eyes darted around: "Big brother, I'll take you."

Huo Yi did not refuse.

They are all gone.

Huo Yubai and I locked eyes.

"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now." Seeing that Huo Yubai didn't say anything, I prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Huo Yubai walked up to me, and a refreshing scent of cedar wafted into my nose.

He remained silent for a long time.

I looked up at him.

His dark eyes were slightly glazed with intoxication. "I've been drinking. Could you take me home?"

I was speechless: "Huo Yi just said he was going to give it to you."

“It’s not on my way,” he replied.

"You don't even know where I live, how do you know it's on your way?" I retorted.

He paused.

In the past, he was always very imposing during negotiations, but today he was completely suppressed by the woman he hadn't seen for five years.

"Please give me a ride," he said, his tone softening slightly.

My heart aches, because seeing him reminds me of someone else.

"Okay," I agreed.

He smiled gently.

It left me feeling somewhat dazed.

Mu Xi is back.

She knew I had agreed to take Huo Yubai back, and she was a little confused, but she didn't say anything.

I drove to another hotel to pick up my luggage.

Then they took Huo Yubai home.

I didn't expect him to live so close to Mu Xi.

They're actually in the same upscale neighborhood.

Moreover, the two buildings are adjacent to each other.

This saved a lot of travel time.

Huo Yubai got out of the car.

Mu Xi and I watched him walk in.

"Have you noticed how much Huo Yubai has changed?" Mu Xi's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Now he's making countless women secretly fall for him."

"The changes are indeed significant." I drove to the underground parking garage.

"Should I ask Huo Yi about his current relationship status?" Mu Xi asked.

"Don't do anything rash." I said helplessly, "He and I are just ordinary friends. If you ask, it's easy for people to misunderstand."

Mu Xi muttered, "But the way he looks at you is really different. There must have been something between you two!"

She is very determined.

I don't know how to explain it.

After all, I don't want to bring up Huo Yushen's matter again.

"Don't misunderstand, there's really nothing between us." I sighed, "Mu Xi, you know, I returned to Xinjing City five years later to seek revenge."

"I know," Mu Xi said with some worry, "The Gu family isn't so easy to deal with."

I sneered, "Even if it's a tough nut to crack, I'll crack it."
