Chapter 498 A riot of colour
Xiao Tuo looked at her and said, "Even if I don't tell them now, they will know one day. It's better to tell them now so that they can be prepared."
Xun Zi gritted her teeth and said, "That's for the future. If you tell them now, you'll be putting unnecessary pressure on them."
Xiao Qi, who was standing aside, looked at Xun Zi and said slowly, "Mom, Dad is right. We will know about these things sooner or later. Besides, the Xiao family has such a big thing going on now, we have to work together to solve it."
Several other people also echoed his sentiment. With their comfort, Xun Zi's emotions finally calmed down gradually. However, when he looked at Xiao Tuo, there was still anger in his eyes, and it was obvious that his anger had not subsided.
"I told you about the key because I wanted to tell you that the key must not fall into the hands of the Tang family. They already have two keys. If they get the Xiao family's key, they only need to get the next two pieces to combine the keys."
No one knows what will happen after the key is synthesized.
"I met with Huo Tianyi today. He said that if I gave him the key, he would stop causing trouble for the Xiao family, but I refused."
"If the Xiao family goes bankrupt in the future and you blame me for this, I won't have any complaints, but I will definitely not compromise. I hope you can understand."
Xiao Qi nodded, "Dad, don't worry. We have never thought of taking over the Xiao Group from you. We all want to make a name for ourselves."
"So we won't blame you in the future. As long as you're still alive, there will always be a day when you can make a comeback."
Seeing the trust in their eyes, Xiao Tuo's original fatigue and weakness gradually disappeared, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart again.
Yes, as long as people are still alive, everything is possible.
"I feel relieved with your words. Don't tell your sister about this. I don't want her to be involved in this kind of thing."
After giving a few instructions, Xiao Tuo let them leave.
After sending those people away, Xun Zi gave Xiao Tuo a cold look, turned around and went back to her room, locking the door. It was obvious that she was still angry.
Xiao Tuo sighed helplessly, walked to the door and knocked.
"Honey, I'm sorry. I should have discussed today's matter with you in advance. It was wrong of me to act first and ask for your permission later. Can you forgive me this time?"
After a long while, Xun Zi's voice came from inside the door.
"Since you're so opinionated, we can just sleep separately from now on. You don't need to tell me anything anyway. Just make your own decision."
"No, if you don't open the door, I will stand at the door tonight and not leave. If the servants see us, it will be embarrassing for both of us."
"Whatever you want."
Xun Zi snorted coldly, took her pajamas and went to take a shower.
After she came out of the shower, took care of herself and went to bed, she was about to go to sleep when the knock on the door sounded again.
"Wife, several servants just asked me why I didn't go in. I said you locked the door. They wanted to find a spare key for me, but I refused."
Hearing the flattery in Xiao Tuo's tone, Xun Zi snorted coldly, ignored him, and went straight to sleep with the quilt.
The next morning, Xun Zi got up and saw Xiao Tuo actually standing outside. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Did you really stand here all night last night?"
Although it was a question, she already knew the answer when she saw the dark circles under Xiao Tuo's eyes.
But when I think of Xiao Tuo, who acted first and reported later, I still feel angry.
"Azi, you still won't forgive me?"
Xun Zi frowned and said coldly, "You still have to go to work and wash up. I don't want to discuss this matter now."
"If you won't forgive me, I won't go to the company today. The company is not as important as you."
Xun Zi rolled her eyes. "Whatever you want. The company is about to go bankrupt anyway. It doesn't really matter whether I go or not."
Xiao Tuo: “…”
After breakfast, Xun Zi was about to go out shopping to avoid seeing Xiao Tuo at home, when Xiao Muzhen walked in from the door.
Seeing her serious expression, Xun Zi was stunned for a moment.
"Zhenzhen, don't you have to go to work today? How come you have time to come here?"
Xiao Muzhen walked over to sit opposite Xun Zi, frowning and said, "Dad, Mom, is there something wrong with the Xiao family?"
The smile on Xun Zi's face froze for a moment, and then he quickly said, "Who is running in front of you and talking nonsense? The Xiao family is fine!"
"I already know everything. How long are you going to hide it from me? Do you even consider me a member of the Xiao family?"
Seeing that Xiao Muzhen was really angry, Xun Zi knew that he could no longer hide it and sighed.
"We didn't tell you because we didn't want you to worry. After all, even your dad couldn't solve this problem."
Xiao Muzhen frowned. "I asked a friend of mine at the court today, and they said that if they want to resolve this matter, they have to get evidence of Jin Yue's crime. Then Jin Yue will be too busy to take care of herself and won't have time to care about Xiao's anymore."
Xun Zi and Xiao Tuo's faces changed when they heard this. Jin Yue had emerged as a rising star and was very careful in his work. Even if he had really committed a crime, it would not be easy for them to find evidence.
"Zhenzhen, don't worry about this matter. Your dad will take care of it."
Xiao Tuo also nodded, "Yes, the most important thing for you now is to do your job well, don't worry about other things, I'm still here at the company."
Seeing that Xun Zi and Xiao Tuo didn't want to make him worry, Xiao Muzhen pursed his lips and was silent for a while before standing up and saying, "Okay, I understand. If anything happens to the Xiao family, you must tell me. I am also a part of this family."
"Um."
After Xiao Muzhen left, Xun Zi looked at Xiao Tuo with some concern, "You think Zhenzhen won't do anything stupid?"
After all, Xiao Muzhen is not the kind of person who would come to someone's house and say a few useless words. She just mentioned the evidence of Jin Yue's crime, and she might go and look for it.
Thinking of this, Xun Zi's expression became a little ugly.
Obviously, Xiao Tuo also thought of this.
"Don't worry about it for now. I'll call Huo Yunting right away and ask him to pay attention to Zhenzhen's behavior."
After knowing that the person behind Huo Tianyi was the Tang family, Xiao Tuo felt like a huge stone was pressing on his heart. After all, he knew too well the Tang family's character of not giving up until they achieved their goals.
"Okay, go quickly. Don't let Zhenzhen be in any danger."
Xiao Tuo quickly called Huo Yunting and explained the situation. Huo Yunting immediately said that he would send bodyguards to protect Xiao Muzhen.
"Okay, I'll leave Zhenzhen to you. I've been busy with Xiao's affairs lately, so you should be careful. I think Jin Yue will take action against Huo's next."
A cold look flashed across Huo Yunting's eyes as he spoke word by word, "I'm not afraid of Jin Yue taking action against the Huo family. I'm just afraid that they won't take any action at all."
Xiao Tuo frowned, "The Tang family is behind Huo Tianyi. The Tang family is ruthless and cruel. You must be careful."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xiao. I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yunting immediately called his secretary in and said in a cold voice, "Send a few people to follow Xiao Muzhen and protect her secretly. Don't let her find out."
