Chapter 688: High-spirited
Tears kept falling from the corners of Xiao Muzhen's eyes. She cried sadly and suppressedly. Xu Ye stood beside her and whispered to comfort her, his eyes also red.
It was unknown how long it took before Xiao Muzhen's emotions gradually calmed down.
She wiped her tears and whispered, "Brother, let's go back."
"Um."
On the way back, Xu Ye suddenly said, "Junior sister, maybe I'm being too nosy. I've seen how you've been getting along with Shi Yiheng these past few days, and I don't think you like him. He's been very nice to you, but I always feel like there's something amiss about him. I advise you to observe him for a while before deciding whether to marry him."
Xiao Muzhen paused and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even Xu Ye could see that there was a problem between them.
"Well, don't worry, Senior Brother. This is my lifelong event. I will consider it carefully."
"When are you planning to return to the capital?"
Xiao Muzhen was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and said, "Wait a few days. I plan to take Master to the capital. I'm worried about him being here alone."
"If the master is willing, that would be great, but if he is not willing, please ask the villagers down the mountain to check on him from time to time to make sure he is safe."
"Um."
As the two of them approached Elder Yun's house, they saw Shi Yiheng looking anxiously at the door. Seeing Xiao Muzhen, he hurriedly said, "Zhenzhen, I have something important to tell you!"
Xiao Muzhen hurriedly walked up to him and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Something happened to the Xiao family!"
"What?!"
Xiao Muzhen's face turned pale instantly, and he quickly grabbed Shi Yiheng's hand, "What happened?!"
Shi Yiheng held her hand in his, "Calm down first. Many partners have recently cancelled their ties with Xiao Corporation. Xiao Corporation's subsidiary, Haoyu, has been caught illegally using substandard construction materials. Xiao Corporation's market value has evaporated by tens of billions... and they're also facing the possibility of being sued and ordered to pay hundreds of billions in compensation to property owners..."
Unexpectedly, so many things happened in the capital during the few days she was looking for Yunling.
However, if it is a funding gap, we can definitely find a way to overcome this crisis.
Shi Yiheng hesitated for a moment, staring into her eyes and slowly said, "Zhenzhen, there's one more thing. Be mentally prepared."
Looking at his solemn expression, Xiao Muzhen felt uneasy.
"Did something happen to the Xiao family?!"
Shi Yiheng nodded, "Yes, Uncle Xiao suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and is still in a coma."
Xiao Muzhen's body shook and he took a step back unconsciously.
Xu Ye quickly supported her, "Junior sister..."
Shi Yiheng's gaze fell on Xu Ye's hand that was holding Xiao Muzhen's arm, and he unconsciously clenched his hand on the wheelchair.
"Brother, I need to book a ticket back to the capital now... I'll leave Master's affairs to you."
Looking at her pale face, Xu Ye said quickly, "Well, don't worry, I will definitely arrange for the master before I leave."
"Um."
Xiao Muzhen stumbled inside, intending to say goodbye to Mr. Yun.
After hearing about the Xiao family, there was no surprise in Old Yun's eyes, he just sighed.
"The Tang family has finally taken action. You should go back quickly. Don't worry about me. I will go to the capital after Shi Yiheng's leg is healed."
More than 20 years ago, all the big families joined forces to drive the Tang family out of the capital, and the Yun family was also involved. Now that the Tang family is back, they naturally will not let the Yun family go.
"good."
Xiao Muzhen packed up her things and was about to leave, but just as she reached the door, Shi Yiheng called her.
"Zhenzhen, let me go back with you. I'm worried about you going back alone."
"No need. Just treat your leg here and return to the capital after it heals."
Seeing her cold expression, Shi Yiheng had no choice but to nod, "Okay, then you must pay attention to safety. If there is anything you can't solve, go find my secretary."
"Um."
It was already late at night when Xiao Muzhen returned to the capital.
She did not return to the Xiao family, but took a taxi directly to the hospital where Xiao Tuo was.
As soon as I arrived at the ward door, I met Xiao Zhuan who was about to go out.
"Zhenzhen, when did you come back?"
"Does it matter when I come back? I just want to know, why didn't you inform me about something as serious as Dad being sick?!"
Xiao Zhuan frowned. "I wanted to inform you before, but your phone was always unreachable. Then Mom said that asking you to come back would just make one more person worry, so I didn't try to contact you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muzhen remembered that his phone had broken once before. After repairing it, he was busy looking for Yun Ling and had not logged into any social software.
"How is Dad now?"
"He's still in a coma, and the doctor isn't sure when he'll wake up."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muzhen's eyes instantly turned red. She was such an unfilial daughter. Xiao Tuo and Xun Zi were so good to her and gave her everything they could, but she never gave them anything in return.
Even when they were sick, they were not there to take care of them.
"Okay, stop crying. Dad is in a stable condition now. Don't worry too much."
"Um."
Xiao Muzhen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I'll go in and see Dad."
The two walked into the ward and saw Xiao Tuo, who was usually intimidating without being angry, lying on the bed with his eyes closed and on a ventilator. Her eyes began to feel sore again.
"Have you been here guarding Dad these past few days?"
"Well, your eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother don't know about this, so don't let anything slip."
"knew."
While the two were talking, the door of the ward was pushed open again and Xun Zi walked in.
"Zhenzhen, why are you back? Have you found that girl Yunling?"
A trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes. He shook his head and said, "It's probably going to be bad."
"Alas... there's nothing we can do about this kind of accident, so don't be too sad."
"Um."
Xiao Muzhen was a little surprised when she noticed Xun Zi's professional attire. "Mom, your clothes..."
"Your father is in a coma now, and the shareholders of the company are starting to get restless, so I have no choice but to take over the management of the company temporarily."
Seeing the suspicion in Xiao Muzhen's eyes, Xun Zi smiled and said, "Don't look down on me. The shareholders of the company have been much more obedient recently."
Xiao Zhuan, who was standing by, also spoke up: "Yeah, Mom is really amazing. I was worried at first that she couldn't control those shareholders, but I didn't expect that she could control them so well."
"That's good. If you've been wronged, tell us."
Xun Zi looked confident. "I'm the only one who suffers for others. You don't have to worry about me. Zhenzhen, you just came back from Licheng. Go back and rest first. Your father's condition is quite stable. You can come and see him once a day when you are free. I can't help you much here."
Xiao Muzhen shook his head and said, "I'll stay here with Dad for a while before going back."
"Okay, have you eaten yet?"
"I'm not hungry."
"That won't do. Ask your brother to take you out and find a restaurant to eat."
Xiao Muzhen looked somewhat helpless, "Mom, I'm really not hungry. You've been tired all day. Sit down and rest for a while."
Xun Zi was about to speak when there was a knock on the door outside the ward.
