Ex-husband is too in love

Chapter 141 I want to investigate the past

On Monday, Mu Yuan got up very early and had breakfast.

Mrs. Xiao woke up early and went for a walk in the backyard. Cousin Xiao Chen hadn't woken up yet. When Mu Yuan arrived, she saw eldest cousin Xiao Yi sitting at the dining table, reading a newspaper eating breakfast.

"Morning." Mu Yuan pulled the chair beside him and sat down.

Xiao Yi looked up at her, smiled and said: "Morning, let me know when I pack up later, let's go to the company together."

Hearing this, Mu Yuan shook her head and said, "No need, I made an appointment with Huo Zheng, and he said he was coming to pick me up."

Xiao Yi paused for a moment with the hand that picked up the bread, then smiled and didn't say anything else.

After Mu Yuan finished eating, with the help of her servant, she moved a bunch of things that needed to be taken to the company to the gate. After a while, she saw Huo Zheng's car coming.

He got out of the car to help Mu Yuan put things in the car, and Mu Yuan noticed that he was wearing sunglasses and didn't look carefully.

After getting into the car, Huo Zheng didn't look at Mu Yuan, but still looked at the front with his sunglasses on, and asked, "Let's leave something behind."

Mu Yuan raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you doing wearing sunglasses all the time? The sun isn't too bright here."

"It's so handsome." Huo Zheng said with a twitch of his mouth.

After all, he reached out and pulled the handbrake.

Mu Yuan noticed that Huo Zheng's hands were obviously broken, and his wrists were still a little bruised. She gave him a deep look in her eyes and said, "Did you fight?"

"No." Huo Zheng paused with his hand, and then pulled the corners of his mouth, these two words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Immediately, his hands stopped, and he seemed to feel Mu Yuan's playful gaze.

He said helplessly: "It's nothing, it's just that I have a little back. I went out for a drink with a few buddies yesterday, and I ran into two drunks." Speaking of this, he took off his sunglasses, the corner of his right eye was a little black, and then said: " But I've dealt with those two convulsive drunkards already."

Huo Zheng coughed lightly and said.

"En" Mu Yuan nodded without saying anything.

"It's true!" Huo Zheng was afraid that Mu Yuan wouldn't believe him, so he said, "It's true. My old man knew about my fights. Who do you think is so boring? I just happened to have a fight, and someone could tell me. My old man."

Mu Yuan smiled unconsciously.

That person must have figured out what Huo Zheng was afraid of about his father, and even deliberately took a photo and sent it to Uncle Huo.

Hearing that Mu Yuan was still laughing, Huo Zheng couldn't help but glance at Mu Yuan, and said, "You're still laughing, I have to wear sunglasses when I go to your company later."

After finishing speaking, he continued to start the car, and muttered: "I know a lot of people in S City anyway, so I might as well not go to the party tomorrow."

Hearing this, Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, stopped smiling, glanced at him, hesitated, and asked, "You mean the Chi family? Is it a company under Chi Cheng's name?"

"Yes, there are still a few Chi Groups in S City." Huo Zheng said casually.

"Tomorrow's party, can I go?" Mu Yuan asked.

"That's fine. If you want to go, just be my female companion. I'll take you in. But it's nothing interesting. It's just a business reception. What are you going to do?" Huo Zheng asked.

"I want to work at Xiao's house, so I have to get in touch with the circle of S city." Mu Yuan said with an unchanged expression.

In fact, my mind has already started to change.

Xi Jingyan told her before that he just couldn't startle the snake with Chi Cheng.

It's not a good person to be able to get along so well in such a huge business district, and she doesn't know much about the events of the year, so if she wants to go, she just wants to get in touch with Chi Cheng's social circle, and then talk to Xi Jingyan. Similarly, look for clues from those people who have intersected with him.

"Alright then, I'll take you there tomorrow afternoon."

Huo Zheng disagreed, and agreed.

After Huo Zheng sent Mu Yuan to the company, he helped her pack up her things, and Mu Yuan was a little embarrassed.

After all, I don't want to continue to develop with others, and I don't want to procrastinate any longer.

"Don't worry, after you finished speaking that day, I thought about what you said. There are indeed many inappropriate things, and I won't put pressure on you. After all, urging you to ask questions is also a kind of pressure on me. In fact, what you said is right. Just let it be, I've gotten used to being single for so many years." Huo Zheng said to Mu Yuan before walking.

After a pause, he said, "So, let's be friends first. After all, we've been friends for so many years. I'm still a little uncomfortable chasing you. I was a little impulsive that day."

Huo Zheng smiled at Mu Yuan, and said, "Also, I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon when you get off work, and if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me."

"Okay." Mu Yuan felt relieved.

The first day's work was fairly easy, so apart from work, Mu Yuan also had time to look up information about Chi Cheng in S City.

This person does have a background in the underworld. He secretly checked it in Mu Yuan in Beicheng before. Some people said that Chicheng had more illegal operations in his early years. Now he has been cleansed, and his actions are not so direct. up.

But in this business field, without any background, who can do business really cleanly?
But what made Mu Yuan feel strange was that the Mu family's previous company was in Beicheng and Chicheng was in S city. Although the two cities are adjacent, neither of them should have any business relationship.

She investigated. When the Mu family went bankrupt, Chi Cheng played a large role. At the same time, Lu Ningyuan and other high-level executives all quit jobs collectively, and the termination of several cooperation cases made things worse.
Mu Yuan didn't understand.

Could it be that his father offended Chi Cheng back then?But she couldn't remember any grudge worth bankrupting and in debt with someone she hadn't had much contact with.

That night, Mu Yuan and Xiao Yi went back to Xiao's house together.

After eating, Mu Yuan sat on the sofa in a daze.

In fact, the thing about Chi Cheng that has been on his mind all the time, and this time he plans to go back to S city, and he also intends to check it out.

Mu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and didn't rush to ask her grandma. It happened that Xiao Yi had gone downstairs, so Mu Yuan asked, "Brother, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yi smiled. For this little cousin, he actually loved this little cousin since he was a child. After all, there was only such a girl in the Xiao family.

"I want to ask Chi Cheng." Mu Yuan smiled and said.

Xiao Yi is from City S and heir to the Xiao family, so he naturally knows Chi Cheng, even if he is not familiar with him, he should know a thing or two.

"Chi Cheng?" Xiao Yi put away some of the smile on his face, and then frowned almost invisibly.

Mu Yuan took a panoramic view of his expression, raised her eyebrows, and said, "What? Is it convenient to say?"

For Mu Yuan, Xiao Yi basically responded to every request, so Mu Yuan really felt a little surprised at this time.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi shook his head, turned his head and looked upstairs unconsciously, and then said to Mu Yuan: "It's not that it's inconvenient to say, it's nothing to say."

After a pause, he looked at Mu Yuan and asked, "What do you know about Chi Cheng's setup?"

"A businessman, an entrepreneur, with a strong background, making it difficult to do business," Mu Yuan said.

"Well, he is just like that, there is no difference at all." Xiao Yi paused, and continued: "Chi Cheng's business is not clean, unless necessary, I don't like to associate with him, and don't mention it to grandma. Chi Cheng's name, the old man doesn't want to see him."

Hearing this, Mu Yuan was taken aback.

"What's the matter? Find out what he does?" Xiao Yi changed his face, and asked again with a smile.

"The bankruptcy of the Mu family was related to him back then, so I want to inquire about it." Mu Yuan said without hiding anything.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned slightly, and said: "What happened back then was a matter in the business field, isn't it already?"

"I don't think so." Mu Yuan shook her head.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi's words stopped immediately, and he said, "You don't blame me for not helping the Mu family, do you?"

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "The situation of the Mu family at that time cannot be saved."

Mu Yuan smiled, and now she says it's not strange, but she was also strange back then, otherwise she wouldn't have stopped contacting Xiao's family for such a long time.

Seeing Xiao Yi frowned slightly, Mu Yuan comforted, "Don't worry, I just want to investigate secretly, I won't cause trouble, and I won't provoke Chi Cheng either."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi raised his brows, his eyes obviously had some disbelief.

This little cousin has always had her own opinion, and he knows it. In fact, he was also puzzled by the reason why she didn't help the Mu family back then, but after grandma scolded her, no one in the Xiao family said anything, and no one mentioned this matter. .

I don't know if it's because of some regret, but Xiao Yi said: "Well, I can help you pay attention to what you want to check, and I will notify you if there is anything, so you stay away from Chi Cheng."

Seeing that Mu Yuan agreed, Xiao Yi nodded.

The next day, after Mu Yuan left the company, Huo Zheng came to pick her up. Her clothes were all ready, so she went to a store to change, and then went to the banquet with Huo Zheng.

At the entrance of the hotel, Huo Zheng glanced at Mu Yuan beside him, a little confused, and said, "Mu Yuan, what do you think your ex-husband is dissatisfied with you? Isn't this beautiful."

When Mu Yuan dressed up a little, her temperament became even more different.

Hearing this, Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, thinking of Xi Jingyan, smiled lightly, and said to him with some appreciation: "He has eyes, he doesn't like anything else except my face."

Huo Zheng: "."

Mu Yuan smiled jokingly, and entered the hotel with Huo Zheng. The banquet was in the hotel lobby.

As soon as Mu Yuan entered, she saw Chi Cheng standing in the most conspicuous position, still in a black suit, talking to several bosses.

"Let's go." Huo Zheng asked Mu Yuan to hold him politely, and the two walked in.

At the same time, Mu Yuan didn't notice.

In the innermost place, on the sofa blocked by several flowers, a man in an iron gray suit watched her walk in with his own eyes, his black eyes narrowed, and his hand holding the goblet tightened suddenly.
