Chapter 689: Ecstatic



Chapter 689: Ecstatic

Xiao Muzhen walked to the door and opened it. When he saw that the person outside was Huo Yunting, surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I came to see Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Muzhen didn't say anything and stepped aside to let him enter the ward.

Xun Zi smiled, stood up and said, "Mr. Huo, please sit down."

As she spoke, she winked at Xiao Muzhen, "Zhenzhen, why don't you help Mr. Huo carry his things?"

Taking the supplement from Huo Yunting, Xiao Muzhen put it aside and said with lowered eyes, "Mom, Mr. Huo, you guys chat. I haven't had dinner yet, so I'll go out and eat something first."

After saying that, she turned around and left the ward.

Xun Zi looked at her back helplessly, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuan, go take your sister to dinner. She is not familiar with this area."

"good."

After Xiao Zhuan left, Xun Zi looked at Huo Yunting and said, "Boss Huo, ever since the incident at the Xiao family, everyone has kept their distance from the Xiao family. It's not a good idea to come and see my husband at this time."

Huo Yunting looked indifferent. "I don't care what others think. Madam Xiao doesn't need to take this matter to heart. How is Mr. Xiao now?"

"The condition is still stable. The doctor said he should be able to wake up in a few days."

"That's good."

Silence fell between the two. Huo Yunting was not good at chatting with others. He sat for a while, then stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Mr. Huo, Zhenzhen was a little naive just now. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"No, I'm not angry."

Xun Zi hesitated for a moment, then spoke directly, "Mr. Huo, I know you had your reasons for breaking up with Zhenzhen, but since you chose not to tell the truth about this matter, and now Zhenzhen has a fiancé, it would be best if you try not to appear in front of her again."

Huo Yunting's expression was calm, with no emotion in his eyes. "Mrs. Xiao, you're overthinking it. I didn't know she had returned to the capital, and I didn't expect to meet her here. I will try to avoid her in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your understanding. Please also forgive me for being a mother."

"I don't blame you. I feel relieved knowing that Mr. Huo is fine. I'll go back first."

Huo Yunting nodded slightly to Xun Zi, then turned and left.

Looking at her back, Xun Zi couldn't help but sigh.

After all, he and Xiao Muzhen were not destined to be together.

Xiao Muzhen deliberately stayed outside for more than an hour before going back. As soon as he entered the ward, Xun Zi's smiling voice rang out.

"Okay, no need to look, the person has already left."

Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and said, "I didn't look for anyone. I just wanted to see if there was anything that needed to be added to Dad's ward."

Xun Zi couldn't help laughing, "Yes, you didn't find anyone, I was overthinking it."

Xiao Muzhen: "..."

"Okay, it's getting late now, go back and rest."

Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Well, how about finding a caregiver for Dad, or I can stay here at night from now on."

Xiao Muzhen had asked about this while they were having dinner just now, and found out that Xiao Zhuan was taking care of Xiao Tuo during the day, and Xun Zi was taking care of him at night.

Thinking that Xun Zi has to go to the company every day, it would be too tiring to take care of Xiao Tuo at night.

"Well, I've thought about what you said. I plan to find two caregivers, one to take care of your father in the ward during the day and the other at night. You and Zhuan will come with me to the company for the next few days. I'll also pick up some things for you."

Xiao Muzhen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Xun Zi said directly: "You are not allowed to refuse. Your other three brothers have no interest in doing business. It would be very tiring for your third brother to manage the Xiao family alone. You will definitely have to work with him to manage the Huo family in the future."

"Mom, I have no interest in managing the company."

Now she just wants to draw designs occasionally and earn enough money to live on her own. She doesn't want to enter the workplace again.

"Then are you willing to let your third brother support the Huo family alone?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zhuan beside her shouted exaggeratedly, "I don't want it! I'll be exhausted if I'm alone. How about we each take half of the Huo Company, you manage your half and I manage mine?"

Xiao Muzhen: "..."

Seeing her speechless face, Xiao Zhuan made a decision directly, "Okay, don't resist in vain. I'll pick you up and go to the company together tomorrow morning."

"……All right."

They had already made the decision for her, what else could she say?

"Come on, I'll take you back!"

On the way back, Xiao Zhuan hummed a song in a good mood, which made Xiao Muzhen beside him turn around and look at him from time to time.

"Third brother, you are in such a good mood, are you in love?"

Xiao turned and glanced at her, "No, what's wrong?"

"Why are you in such a good mood without me?"

Xiao Zhuan chuckled, revealing his large white teeth. "Because someone is now managing the company with me, do you know what kind of life I lived before? If I could, I would rather be a playboy my whole life."

Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but complain, "You really are quite suitable to be a playboy. After all, you have at least eighty ex-girlfriends, if not a hundred."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuan looked very proud and said, "Thank you for the compliment, but that's all in the past."

At the end of his speech, his expression became a little regretful.

"I'm not praising you anymore."

"It's the same for me."

He was able to have so many girlfriends, and each of them only praised him and had no resentment after breaking up, which shows that he has a strong personal charm.

If Xiao Muzhen heard what he said, he would definitely mock him for his strong financial ability rather than personal charm.

After returning home, Xiao Muzhen took a shower and logged into WeChat. As soon as she logged in, many messages popped up, almost all of which were sent by Xie Fu, telling her that something had happened in the Xiao family.

Xiao Muzhen directly dialed the voice call, and Xie Fu answered it soon.

"Zhenzhen, you finally replied. Did you know that Uncle Xiao is in the hospital?"

"Well, I just got back from the hospital."

Xie Fu was stunned for a moment, "You're back to the capital?"

"Just got back tonight."

"It's good that you're back. You should know what happened to the Xiao family. It was Tang Ruxing who was behind it!"

"I see. Thank you for telling me this."

"No, I can't help much. I begged him, but he wouldn't stop."

Xiao Muzhen lowered his eyes, not at all surprised. The Tang family not only wanted to steal the secret key, but also wanted to return to the capital, and return as the number one family. Other families that were in the way would naturally become the targets of the Tang family.

"As expected, don't worry about what happens next. Just take care of your health."

"Well, if the Xiao family needs help, you can always call me. My parents also know the principle of "lips and teeth are cold" and will stand by the Xiao family."

"Okay, thank my uncle and aunt for me."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen's expression became extremely cold.

Tang Ruxing's appetite was too big, and the first thing he did was to target the Xiao family.

Moreover, the Tang family has grown to what it is today in just over twenty years. They must have done a lot of dirty things behind the scenes. Once they are unearthed, it will definitely have an impact on the Tang family.

If she were Tang Ruxing, she wouldn't be so reckless.

Xiao Muzhen held his phone and thought about who to ask to help him investigate the Tang family. If the Xiao family took action now, it would be too obvious.

While I was thinking, my cell phone suddenly rang.
