Chapter 614: Daydreaming
Su Baitian's anger had not subsided, and he said coldly: "What conditions?!"
"Give me the antidote to the poison in Xiao Muzhen. I want an antidote that can eradicate the remaining poison in her body, not one that can delay the effects."
Su Baitian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then sneered, "There is no such antidote! And I have already promised you that I will always give her the antidote. Aren't you just being superfluous?"
"Since there isn't one, I won't hand that woman over to you. As for what she will say to me, that's beyond your control."
After saying that, Huo Yunting turned around and was about to leave.
As I reached the door, I heard Su Baitian's anxious voice behind me.
"Come back! I promise!"
Huo Yunting turned his head calmly, looked at Su Baitian and said, "Give me the antidote first, and I'll give you the person."
"No, I have to hand over the person and the antidote."
Even if the other party is his own son, Su Baitian will not let his guard down.
What's more, this son and I are not on the same page at all.
Su Baitian is already considering whether to find someone else to inherit the Su family.
Huo Yunting thought for a while, then turned around and left without any room for negotiation.
Seeing his back about to disappear from his sight, Su Baitian finally lost his patience and raised his voice, "Come back! I promise to give you the antidote first!"
When he didn't hear the dissatisfaction and anger in his tone, Huo Yunting turned his head indifferently and looked at him expressionlessly.
"I'll have the butler give it to you, but I need to meet someone tonight."
"No, I can't give him to you until I confirm whether the antidote is effective."
Su Baitian was really angry this time, and slammed the table, "Huo Yunting, I'm not a fool. Xiao Muzhen's poison has been cured, and you're still going to give her to me?!"
Huo Yunting looked calm, with no emotion in his eyes.
"Now it seems you have no choice but to trust that I will keep my promise."
"You! You really have to piss me off to death!"
If I had known that Huo Yunting would treat me like this because of Xiao Muzhen, I should have secretly dealt with Xiao Muzhen at the beginning. It would be better than being constrained now!
But it’s too late to regret now!
Soon, Huo Yunting got the antidote and left.
In order to prevent him from going back on his word, Su Baitian also found someone to follow him, and Huo Yunting had no objection to this.
After having Ke Ning deliver the medicine to Xiao Tuo, Huo Yunting coldly said to Su Baitian's men: "Wait here. After confirming that the antidote is genuine, I will have someone take you to take the person away."
After saying that, without caring about the other person's expression, Huo Yunting turned around and left.
In less than an hour, Ke Ning took the things to Xiao's.
Knowing that taking this antidote would be able to cure all the poison in Xiao Muzhen, Xiao Tuo's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Didn't they say I needed to take the antidote continuously?! Why do I only need to take it once now?!"
Seeing the suspicion in Xiao Tuo's eyes, Ke Ning's face showed no expression.
"Before, it was because President Su refused to give the real antidote to President Huo. The antidote that needed to be taken continuously was also mixed with a small amount of poison, so it could only remove part of the poison each time. This time, President Huo exchanged conditions with him and finally got the antidote."
Hearing this, Xiao Tuo's hand holding the bottle tightened unconsciously, and a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes.
He opened his mouth, his face showing hesitancy to speak, but in the end all his words turned into a sigh.
"Zhenzhen and Mr. Huo... are not meant to be together. My Xiao family has inherited Mr. Huo's kindness. If Mr. Huo needs help in the future, I, Xiao Tuo, will do my best to help him, even if it means going through fire and water!"
The reason is simple: Xiao Tuo sees Huo Yunting's feelings for Xiao Muzhen.
If it weren't for what happened to Shi Yiheng, Xiao Tuo might not have stopped the two from being together.
But now Shi Yiheng may never be able to stand up again in this life because of Xiao Muzhen. If Xiao Muzhen knows the truth that Huo Yunting left her, it will only cause her more troubles.
"No need. This is a matter between Mr. Huo and Miss Xiao. Mr. Huo said that he volunteered and the Xiao family doesn't owe him anything."
After delivering Huo Yunting's words, Ke Ning left.
Xiao Tuo looked at the bottle in his hand with a complicated expression on his face.
He didn't think about it for too long and quickly called Xun Zi.
When Xun Zi took the medicine bottle from him, her expression was a little complicated.
"Ever since I found out about this, I was going to tell Zhenzhen, but Shi Yiheng had a car accident on the way to send her back to the Xiao family. If I tell him now, it would be too unfair to Shi Yiheng... and Zhenzhen definitely won't leave Shi Yiheng at this time."
Xiao Tuo was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Since Huo Yunting has no intention of telling her, let's just pretend we don't know about this."
"That's all we can do now."
Xun Zi returned to the Xiao family quickly.
As soon as she walked in, Xiao Muzhen came forward and said, "Mom, I have something to discuss with you."
Seeing her serious expression, Xun Zi felt uneasy.
"What's up?"
"I'm going to get engaged to Shi Yiheng. If his leg gets better later, we'll talk. If not, I'll take care of him for the rest of his life."
Upon hearing this, Xun Zi's brows immediately frowned.
"Zhenzhen, although our family does owe Shi Yiheng a great favor for this matter, I don't want to repay him with your lifelong happiness."
Even if Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting are not together, as a mother, she does not want Xiao Muzhen to be with Shi Yiheng in order to repay her gratitude.
"Mom, I've already made up my mind about this matter, and I don't plan to change my mind."
Anger surfaced on Xun Zi's face, and her voice darkened. "Your life is yours to decide. I don't want to interfere, but I suggest you reconsider. If you're sure you won't regret it in the future, I won't interfere."
After saying that, Xun Zi walked past her and went back to the room.
Looking at her back, Xiao Muzhen pursed his lips, but ultimately did not call her.
How could she not have thought about it... Judging from the condition of Shi Yiheng's legs, his legs would probably be difficult to cure. Even if there was a glimmer of hope, it would take many years.
After this incident, she could no longer pretend not to know Shi Yiheng's feelings for her, nor could she no longer have any response.
…
Ever since Huo Yunting agreed to let Huo Yiyi join the Huo family, Cheng Shumin has taken this matter to heart. In the past few days, she has been taking Huo Yiyi to the mall to buy clothes and various things needed for work.
Huo Yiyi was completely dragged along by Cheng Shumin and had no interest in it at all.
It wasn't until Cheng Shumin bought her three bags that she finally couldn't help frowning.
"Mom, I'm going to work, not competing with others for wealth. Those bags you bought cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I don't know what my colleagues will say if I carry them to the office!"
Moreover, she just wanted to stay in Huo's company for a while in a low-key manner. After Cheng Shumin confirmed that she would not compete with Huo Yunting for Huo's company, maybe she would calm down.
