Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia! - Chapter 777 - 757: Tyrannical Ex-Husband (Part 1)
Huo Zhenyang, having heard George’s words, remained silent.
After a long while, he frowned deeply and waved his hand dismissively.
George thought that the Boss’s anger had not subsided, and it would be inappropriate for him to lower his stance and seek out the young mistress again.
After all, the words that the young mistress threw at the Boss that day were too severe.
She actually said that in her memory there was no Boss, only Mr. Nie...
What was even more terrifying was that she even thanked the Boss for letting her off!
Given the Boss’s temperament, it was already a feat of restraint that he hadn’t strangled both of them on the spot...
George sighed and said no more, turning to arrange tonight’s departure from the country.
George’s figure disappeared from the living room.
Huo Zhenyang’s gaze shifted, turning towards the cell phone on the coffee table.
He picked it up subconsciously.
He decided to make a call first.
He opened the contacts list and dialed her number.
The cell phone rang for a long time, but no one answered. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
His brows furrowed tightly.
Not answering his call?
No, she must not have heard it.
Just as George said, after so many days, her anger should have dissipated.
Reassuring himself, his fingers moved rapidly, composing a text message and sending it:
"I’m leaving Yunling in the evening, heading to Mexico. I’m not sure when I’ll be back. Anyway, before I go, I want to see you and have a proper talk."
It was still early before evening, and he had plenty of time to wait for her to reply to the message.
Now that he was leaving, that woman would surely agree to meet him no matter what.
As long as she was willing to see him, he would bind her if necessary and take her with him before he left.
After sending the text message, he folded his hands to form a bridge and rested them on his long legs, his eyes becoming tranquil.

Hospital.
In the washroom.
The nanny was tidying up Jiayi’s clothes.
The door opened, and Mr. Nie leaned in with his tall frame: "The discharge procedures are all set. Pack up the clothes, and you can leave the hospital this afternoon."
The nanny nodded hastily and handed over an item, saying, "Oh, Mr. Nie, here is Miss Chu’s cell phone. It might have been left in a pocket and forgotten. It was ringing for quite a while just now."
Nie Yixiao hummed in acknowledgment, took the phone, and slowly walked along the corridor towards the ward.
When he reached the door of the ward, he felt a strange stirring in his heart and stopped.
His long fingers swiped, illuminating the screen, and he saw several missed calls from Huo Zhenyang.
There was also an unread text message.
Through the small glass window in the door, he glanced at Jiayi inside the ward.
In the past few days, her complexion had become rosy, and her spirit had somewhat recovered. She hadn’t mentioned Huo Zhenyang’s name again.
At the moment, she was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, packing clothes, her expression relaxed, as if she hadn’t gone through divorce and miscarriage.
The arrival of a text message from Huo Zhenyang would surely disturb her now tranquil mood.
He really didn’t want her to suffer any more hurt from that man.
Nie Yixiao furrowed his brows and opened the text message.
After a pause, he looked up at Jiayi again, and with a resolved heart, he typed a reply on the text message:
"I’m doing very well with him. Have a smooth trip."
With a swipe of his finger, the text message sent.
At the same time, Jiayi in the ward noticed the noise at the door. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, she leaned out and peered, "Brother Yixiao? Is that you?"
Nie Yixiao’s complexion recovered as he casually deleted the missed calls and messages. Then he pushed open the door, walked in, handed the phone to her, and looked at her indifferently, with an adoring light in his eyes, "Silly little thing."
Jiayi saw the phone and guessed she must have forgotten to take it out of her clothes when she changed that morning. Tongue in cheek, she took it.
The moment her gaze fell on her own phone, her face darkened slightly once more.
Yixiao’s eyes were sharp, catching her expression, "Are you waiting for his call?"
Jiayi’s pupils tightened, and she shook her head, "No."
Nie Yixiao sat down and said seriously, "Tell me the truth."
If she had calmed down, or if she still wanted to see that man, he would immediately tell her about the man’s call and messages.
Brother Yixiao’s eyes had the power to see through one’s heart.
Jiayi’s heart skipped a beat, as if it had been knocked, yet ultimately she took a deep breath, "No, really, Brother Yixiao."
Nie Yixiao said nothing more.
-
George arranged for a departure in the evening and returned to the living room to find the boss staring at his phone, his expression even darker than before.
Eh? Could it be that he called the young missus?
He couldn’t help asking, "Boss, did you contact the young missus? How did it go? Do you want me to bring her back now..."
Huo Zhenyang stood up, his body exuding a chilling aura, a deep coldness overshadowing his handsome face. The words seemed to burst from between his teeth, word by word, "No need. Are you ready? To the airport!"
-
After being discharged, Jiayi wanted to return to Green Island Garden.
But the nanny insisted that the confinement period after a miscarriage was very important, and failing to take care properly could affect future fertility. She persuaded Jiayi to stay for a while longer.
Consequently, Jiayi stayed a few more days at Nie Yixiao’s apartment.
Under the care of Brother Yixiao and the nanny, her body almost completely recovered.
That day, Xia Tingxuan made a phone call.
In the first few days after the surgery, she was afraid her mother might notice something over the phone and didn’t dare to call back.
It was Nie Yixiao who helped contact her mommy and daddy.
Nie Yixiao told the Chus that Jiayi had been in a bad mood and didn’t want to see or talk to anyone.
Xia Tingxuan didn’t bother her daughter then, trusting Nie Yixiao completely and feeling reassured that he was taking care of her.
Seeing her mommy’s call, Jiayi felt guilty. Clutching the phone, she feared her mommy might ask why she hadn’t called in days, and she pondered what tone to use.
However, on the other end of the phone, Xia Tingxuan didn’t seem to have any intention of interrogating her. Her tone was very serious, "Jiayi, he’s gone."
Jiayi didn’t catch on and held the phone, stunned for a moment.
Xia Tingxuan repeated, "Huo Zhenyang has resigned from his position as mayor, and it seems he’s even handed over the business in China to Su Yan. He’s left Yunling."
She paused for a second.
He—resigned from his position as mayor?
And he doesn’t want the business of the Huo Group in China anymore?
And handed it over to Su Yan?
"Where did he go?" she blurted out subconsciously.
"Nobody knows. He didn’t announce his itinerary to the public. It seems he left the country by private plane after dark, quietly. It was only when the Huo Family’s lawyer came to discuss your lawsuit with your father that they found out."
Jiayi’s hand, holding the phone, trembled slightly.
That day he visited her at Nie Yixiao’s apartment, he had mentioned taking her to Mexico.
At the time, she hadn’t thought much about it...
Could he be in—Mexico?
Why would he go to that country all of a sudden?
But then again, that man’s matters seemed to have nothing to do with her anymore.
Her throat moved slightly, but in the end, she didn’t ask anything more and calmly said, "I see, Mommy."
She paused, then asked, "What about Zaizai?"
