Chapter 385: Staggering
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Yes, I'm sure."
Xun Zi was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Okay, but the doctor who hypnotized you is abroad. It will take about a month to get her back."
"Okay, Mom, thank you!"
Xun Zi glared at her and said unhappily, "I'm your mother, what are you saying thank you for? I was making dumplings to send to you, and since you're back, just stay here with me for a while. You can bring them to me after I'm done making them."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, hugged Xun Zi and said, "I know that mom treats me the best!"
"Okay, stop acting like a spoiled child. You're an adult." Although her tone was disgusted, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"I'll pack it with you."
"No, your wrapping is too ugly."
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
It was past eleven o'clock in the evening when Huo Yunting and Mrs. Huo got off the plane.
As she walked out of the airport, Mrs. Huo suddenly paused.
"Yun Ting, do you think those are Zhen Bao's heartless parents?"
Huo Yunting followed Mrs. Huo's gaze and saw Chi Zhen and Xu Rou about ten meters away from them, preparing to board the plane.
He narrowed his eyes, a cold look flashing across them.
"Um."
Old Mrs. Huo's eyes fell on Xu Rou. Seeing that she was wearing loose clothes, she felt that it was a bit strange.
But she didn't think much about it. Xu Rou was already at this age, how could she still be pregnant?
"let's go."
After Huo Yunting sent Mrs. Huo to the hospital, he called Ke Ning directly and said, "Go and find out where Chi Zhen and Xu Rou went tonight."
Soon, Koning's message came back.
[Mr. Huo, I've checked. Their flight is at 12:00 AM, and their destination is Beijing.]
[Find someone to keep an eye on them and see what they do in the capital.]
If they dare to appear in front of Xiao Muzhen again, he will never forgive them!
Three years ago, after the news of Chi Muzhen's death in a fire spread, Chi Zhen and Xu Rou pretended not to know and did not even attend the funeral. Later, they even said that they had never given birth to this daughter.
People like this are not fit to be parents.
Late at night, after Chi Zhen and Xu Rou arrived in Beijing, they immediately took a car to Beijing First Hospital.
She went for a prenatal checkup yesterday and the doctor said that several indicators of the baby in her belly were not good, and it would be best to come to Beijing for a re-examination.
The two were so scared that they booked flights overnight. It was only because their younger sister Chi Siyi used her connections that they were able to have the examination in the middle of the night with the attending doctor accompanying them.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital entrance, Chi Siyi walked forward.
"Brother, sister-in-law, everything has been arranged. Go for the check-up directly."
After Xu Rou followed the nurse to get checked, Chi Siyi looked at Chi Zhen and said, "You haven't told Chi Xuan about your sister-in-law's pregnancy yet?"
When Chi Xuan was three years old, Chi Siyi married to the capital, so she didn't have much affection for her niece.
After knowing what she had done in Rongcheng, she looked down upon Chi Xuan even more. So even though she knew that Chi Xuan had come to Beijing with Huo Yunting, she never took the initiative to contact Chi Xuan, nor did she allow her children to have any contact with Chi Xuan.
Chi Zhen's expression froze for a moment, and he said unnaturally: "Your sister-in-law said that the baby is only three months old now, so she will tell Xuanxuan when the baby is five or six months old."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Chi Siyi's eyes, and she knew what Xu Rou was thinking without even having to guess.
Now the child born to Chi Zhen by his concubine has become a fool. The child in Xu Rou's belly will most likely be the heir to the Chi family. For Chi Xuan, the birth of this child will only threaten her position as heir, so Xu Rou is on guard against her.
However, Chi Siyi didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Chi family, as long as it didn't affect her.
"By the way, I heard that Xiaobao was frightened and became stupid. Don't you plan to bring him to the capital for a checkup?"
When mentioning Xiaobao, Chi Zhen's eyes flashed with impatience, and he said coldly: "I have consulted many famous doctors before, and they all said that it is impossible to recover to normal. Now your sister-in-law is pregnant. If she knew that I was secretly treating Xiaobao, we might quarrel again."
Chi Siyi pursed her lips and said nothing more. She asked about the recent health conditions of Mrs. Chi and Mr. Chi.
"Mom and Dad are in good health, but they miss you a lot."
"I've been too busy with company stuff lately. When I have some free time, I'll take them over to play with me."
Speaking of the company, Chi Zhen said tentatively: "Siyi, Chi's has developed quite well in Rongcheng in recent years. It just so happens that your sister-in-law is going to Beijing to take care of her pregnancy. I plan to move Chi's focus to Beijing next. What do you think?"
Chi Siyi frowned. "The market in the capital has basically been divided up. It will probably be difficult for the Chi family to come and get a piece of the pie."
Chi Zhen looked at her and said meaningfully, "Isn't this because of you? Although you are now in control of the Li family's branch, the Li family at the head office still refuses to let you get involved. Ultimately, it's because you have no backing in the capital. If the Chi family can enter the capital and become successful in the future, will the Li family still dare to look down on you?"
"When the time comes, if I want to get involved in Li's head office, I won't be as restricted as I am now."
Hearing this, Chi Siyi's eyes moved. Chi Zhen's words really touched her heart.
She married into the Li family, one of the eight major families in Beijing. On the surface, she seemed to have a glorious life, but only she knew the hardship and forbearance she had endured over the past few decades.
If she hadn't forced herself to grow up, she and her two children would have been kicked out of the house long ago.
If the Chi family is supported, it will also be a help to her.
Thinking of this, she said in a deep voice: "After settling my sister-in-law, let's find a place to talk about this matter."
"good."
…
Xiao Muzhen originally thought that Huo Yunting would stay in Rongcheng for a few days before coming back, but she didn't expect to see him sitting in the restaurant eating breakfast when she went downstairs early the next morning.
She was stunned for a moment, "When did you come back?"
"I came back at five in the morning after sending grandma back to the hospital."
"So you still have to go to work today?" Looking at his suit and tie, he didn't look like he was going to take a break.
"Well, there's an important meeting today."
"Oh." Xiao Muzhen did not continue to ask. After all, she had no interest in Huo Yunting's company.
"Come over and have breakfast, and then I'll take you to work."
Xiao Muzhen turned around and was about to walk towards the restaurant when the doorbell rang.
She walked to the door and saw Chi Xuan outside, and couldn't help frowning.
After all, no one would be happy to see a photo of someone who looks almost exactly like them.
She opened the door, turned around to look at Huo Yunting, and said calmly, "I think he's here to see you."
Huo Yunting looked outside the door, and when he saw the person standing at the door, his face suddenly became extremely cold.
"What are you doing here?"
Chi Xuan's heart tightened under Huo Yunting's cold gaze. She bit her lower lip and said, "Brother Yunting... Zi Meng... she's sick and wants to see you..."
