"Thank you, Mr. Huo!" Mu Ningxi couldn't say more and could only express the most primitive gratitude.

Huo Beichen turned his head and glanced at her, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he did not say anything.

Forget it, since she is in a bad mood, I won’t bother with her.

Huo Beichen felt very uncomfortable with Mu Ningxi's alienation towards him, but under the circumstances, he couldn't say anything to blame her.

The car moved forward slowly, and neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey.

Looking at the car driving on the highway, Mu Ningxi was surprised. Where on earth did Huo Beichen want to take me after driving so far?

Just when Mu Ningxi was about to ask, the car got off the highway at an intersection.

After driving for a while, Huo Beichen turned the car into a country road.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a house that looked like a manor.

As soon as the two got off the car, a middle-aged man dressed as a security guard came up to them and said politely to Huo Beichen, "Mr. Huo, please!"

Huo Beichen nodded and walked towards the manor with Mu Ningxi.

As soon as she stepped through the gate, Mu Ningxi was fascinated by the scenery inside. What caught her eyes was a beautiful garden with various flowers and trees planted in it, and dotted with flower paths, fountains and sculptures.

Across the garden is a small bridge. The water under the bridge is crystal clear, and there are several pavilions scattered around not far away.

"Mr. Huo, whose private manor is this?" Following Huo Beichen's footsteps and walking forward, Mu Ningxi whispered in his ear.

Huo Beichen turned his head to look at her and smiled without saying anything.

The middle-aged man led the two to a two-story wooden house and stopped. He said to Huo Beichen politely, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhao is waiting for you upstairs."

Huo Beichen nodded and took Mu Ningxi upstairs.

The sound of the wooden stairs under her feet did not attract Mu Ningxi's attention. She was wondering in her mind who this Mr. Zhao was.

Walking to the door of the only room upstairs, Huo Beichen pushed it open.

After entering, Mu Ningxi saw at a glance that Zhao Yu, who had previously treated her leg injury, was sitting inside alone.

Seeing them come in, Zhao Yu quickly stood up and greeted them warmly: "Beichen, sister-in-law, please take a seat!"

Zhao Yu, how could it be him?

Mu Ningxi was very surprised at Zhao Yu who suddenly appeared in front of her.

After meeting him in the hospital last time, Mu Ningxi always felt that Zhao Yu looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

Later, Mu Ningxi went online to check and found out that Zhao Yu was actually the young master of the Zhao family in Beijing. A famous media had interviewed Zhao Yu before, and Mu Ningxi happened to watch that episode, so she felt that he looked familiar.

Given the Zhao family's status in the capital, Zhao Yu chose to become an ordinary chief of surgery, which was also the reason why the media wanted to interview him at that time.

If Mu Ningxi only thought that Huo Beichen was a bit rich before, but now seeing that Zhao Yu, who was of noble status, treated him with courtesy, Mu Ningxi felt that Huo Beichen's identity was not simple.

Maybe the guy who got married to me is the son of a wealthy family?

Mu Ningxi stared at Huo Beichen beside her suspiciously and ignored Zhao Yu's call.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down!" Seeing that Mu Ningxi was staring at Huo Beichen in a daze and ignoring him, Zhao Yu called out again.

"Ah, oh!" Zhao Yu's voice brought Mu Ningxi back to her senses. She glanced at the two people in front of her, then sat down next to Huo Beichen embarrassedly.

It was the first time that someone called her "sister-in-law", and the other person was of such a high status. Besides feeling embarrassed, Mu Ningxi was also a little flattered.

"Serve the food." After the two sat down, Zhao Yu used the voice transmitter to order the food to be served.

It turns out this is really a restaurant.

Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Mu Ningxi thought to herself.

"Beichen was our eldest brother when we were in college, so it's reasonable for me to call you sister-in-law. However, if you feel uncomfortable, I can change the way I address you." As if noticing Mu Ningxi's sensitivity to the word "sister-in-law", Zhao Yu took the initiative to explain.

It turns out that they were college classmates, which is why they had such a good relationship. From this perspective, Huo Beichen's family background may not be as prominent as Zhao Yu's.

Zhao Yu's words made Mu Ningxi feel a little relieved.

As for the current situation, Mu Ningxi felt that she and Huo Beichen were not on the same level. If the other party was still a rich and noble young man, she would definitely divorce him.

The plot of the prince and Cinderella should not happen to her and Huo Beichen.

"How about I call you Ning Xi?" Zhao Yu said to himself without waiting for Mu Ningxi to respond.

Mu Ningxi was stunned at first, then she reacted and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"Ning Xi, don't be so formal. You can just call me Zhao Yu." Seeing Mu Ningxi nodded in agreement, Zhao Yu continued.

Mu Ningxi thought about it, then said with a smile: "Then I will call you Brother Yu from now on."

The two smiled at each other, and no one noticed that a hint of displeasure flashed across Huo Beichen's face.

I didn't expect Zhao Yu to have such a good temper. Like Brother Yunfeng, he is a humble gentleman.

Feeling that Zhao Yu and Wang Luyao's brother Wang Yunfeng were the same type of people, Mu Ningxi's liking for Zhao Yu increased a little more.

As we were talking, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.

"I just ordered a few dishes randomly. I don't know if they suit your taste. Beichen, Ningxi, start eating." After the dishes were served, Zhao Yu warmly invited them to eat.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, Mu Ningxi, who had been hungry for a long time, glanced at Huo Beichen. Seeing that he didn't seem to be surprised, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

"It tastes good." After swallowing the first bite, Mu Ningxi praised sincerely.

"Eat more if you like it." Zhao Yu responded with a smile.

After taking a few bites of food, Huo Beichen looked at Zhao Yu and said slowly: "Has Jingjing contacted you during this period?"

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yu's smiling face instantly fell. He shook his head gently, sighed, and did not respond.

Noticing Zhao Yu's abnormality, Mu Ningxi turned her gaze to Huo Beichen, her eyes full of confusion.

"Zhao Yu and Jing Jing have been engaged since childhood. If Jing Jing hadn't insisted on entering the entertainment industry, they would have been married by now."

Understanding what Mu Ningxi meant, Huo Beichen explained for her.

Jingjing has been engaged since childhood and is able to be engaged to the Zhao family in Beijing. Her family background must be extraordinary. It seems that I was wrong before. Huo Beichen's family background must also be extraordinary.

If this is the case, what should I do? I should ask him for a divorce, but will he agree?

Huo Beichen never expected that his simple words could confuse Mu Ningxi.

"Ayu, you can't just let her do whatever she wants. You still have to use coercive measures when necessary." Seeing Zhao Yu's distressed face, Huo Beichen gave him some advice.

Mu Ningxi was about to retort when she heard a voice coming through the microphone: "Everyone, the auction will start soon."

Auction, isn’t this a place to eat? How come it has become an auction house?

Just as Mu Ningxi was thinking, the wall in front of them suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a large, thick curtain.

Through the curtains, you can see what's happening downstairs.

"On the surface, this is a restaurant, but in reality it's the largest auction house in Beijing. To enter, the minimum membership fee is 1000 million. After all, the starting price for every item here is at least 500 million." Huo Beichen patiently explained on behalf of Mu Ningxi.

500 million, so scary.

Mu Ningxi was shocked by Huo Beichen's words.

"It's my mother's birthday soon, and I want to buy her a gift. I don't know much about jewelry, so I asked Beichen to come and help me check it."

On the side, Zhao Yu stated the purpose of coming here today.

Mu Ningxi nodded without saying anything. In her mind, she recalled something that had happened before.

Last year, when Mu Xiner had her birthday, Meng Tianbo gave her a necklace. Perhaps because he was worried that Mu Ningxi would be angry, Meng Tianbo said at the time that the necklace was not valuable.

Out of trust in Meng Tianbo, Mu Ningxi did not check the necklace at that time, but just casually asked where he bought it.

At that time, Meng Tianbo's expression was a little strange. After hesitating for a long time, he told Mu Ningxi that he bought it at a small stall and he forgot the name of the store.

Now that I think about it, Meng Tianbo might have bought that necklace here as a gift for Mu Xiner.

Thinking of the lowest starting price that Huo Beichen had just mentioned, Mu Ningxi felt like she had been a complete fool.

I tried my best to help Meng Tianbo save money, but he used the money to win Mu Xiner's favor.

Thinking about it now, Mu Ningxi felt that it was not worth it for herself.
