Chapter 1133: Swan Meat
What else could Huo Yiwen say?
Could she really, in the presence of the media and journalists, make Mu Shaohan take responsibility?
She didn’t want her beloved daughter to marry into the Mu Family!
People like Mu Anhan, all the people in the Mu Family are fox spirits!
Moreover, a secretary-general can be replaced at any time, but there is only ever one president.
Huo Yiwen’s ultimate goal in marrying off her daughter was only one thing, to marry the president and become the First Lady.
Now, the best way forward was to silently erase this matter.
She wanted Pei Zhe and Mu Shaohan to leave as soon as possible so she could plan her next steps.
"Take care, Mr. President!" Huo Yiwen said with a smile.
As soon as the two men left, she immediately instructed the media not to say anything about the matter. Of course, the hush money was also quite expensive.
But for her daughter to marry the ideal man, Huo Yiwen was willing to pay.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the hotel room, she walked up to lift the ostrich-like Gu Xiaorui, "What exactly happened?"
"Mom, I don’t know either. All I know is that Mu Shaohan was drugged, and it was him who came, not Pei Zhe. I really don’t understand why." Gu Xiaorui looked at her anxiously, "Please, don’t let this get out. I don’t want to marry Mu Shaohan."
"Don’t worry, how could I bear to marry you off to him?" Huo Yiwen sneered, "Does he even know who he is? A toad wishing to eat swan meat..."
She stopped angrily, her face dark, "Did anything happen between you two?"
"No." Gu Xiaorui shook her head, "He’s actually a decent man. He’d rather take a cold shower than do anything to me."
Apart from looking down on his status, he was still quite upright.
"That’s good, you still have a chance to marry Pei Zhe." Huo Yiwen was relieved, "I’ve arranged everything; we’ll just quietly leave."
...
In the elevator.
Mu Shaohan leaned against the cold elevator wall to relieve the heat in his body.
He also sneezed a few times, "Sorry, Mr. President..."
Pei Zhe handed him a tissue, "When you get back, have a doctor check on you."
"Yes!" Mu Shaohan responded immediately.
Pei Zhe stepped out of the elevator, and the bodyguards helped Mu Shaohan into the car, heading straight back to the President Mansion.
A doctor was already waiting; the drugs in his body had mostly dissipated, though he had caught a cold from the cold shower.
The doctor prescribed some medication to alleviate the cold symptoms, advising him to drink plenty of hot water and rest.
"Shaohan, take the day off and see how you feel before returning to work," Pei Zhe said.
"Yes!" Mu Shaohan took the medicine.
Pei Zhe patted his shoulder, "Get some rest early!"
Mu Shaohan hesitated.
"You want to ask how I’ll handle today’s issue?" Pei Zhe understood, "Huo Yiwen definitely doesn’t want this to get out. She’ll silence the media, and I also don’t want you to be the victim here! We won’t mention this matter again. However..."
He paused slightly, then continued, "We’re not going to suffer this loss; we’ll make it up in other matters."
"Thank you, Mr. President." Mu Shaohan didn’t want his career to be ruined over a scandal.
Pei Zhe comforted him, "As long as I’m here, no one can touch you! Rest assured!"
Pei Zhe was also aware that Mu Shaohan had been loyal and always did his job well. How could he not protect such a subordinate?
