Chapter 738: Self-deprecation
The old butler lowered his head and said slowly, "Master, you are also doing this for the good of the eldest young master."
Su Baitian smiled bitterly, "But in his eyes, I am harming him now. Do you think he will be less hostile to me if I agree to let him be with Xiao Muzhen?"
"The young master will understand your good intentions one day."
"well……"
Su Baitian's face was full of fatigue. Too many things had happened recently, and he was exhausted. He had to admit that he was really old.
"Master, the medicine in the kitchen is ready. I'll bring it to you."
Soon, the old butler brought a bowl of black medicine to Su Baitian.
Su Baitian frowned, "I've been drinking this medicine for so many days, but my headache hasn't gotten better. Instead, it's getting worse. I might as well stop drinking it!"
"Master, how can this be possible?! Last time I had a headache, I drank this medicine and it gradually got better. Now I think my headache is at its peak, so I should drink it."
Su Baitian was silent for a few seconds, but still took the medicine from the butler and drank it all in one gulp with a frown.
He didn't notice the gleam in the old butler's eyes.
After drinking the medicine, Su Baitian rubbed his swollen and painful Taiyangxue, stood up and said, "There is a meeting at the company at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Call me at 6 o'clock."
"good."
After Su Baitian left, the old housekeeper put the bowl back in the kitchen, returned to his room, and then called Su Nan.
"I have done what you said. When did you release my granddaughter?"
Sunan chuckled and spoke slowly, "Uncle Zhong, don't worry. Once I confirm that you have indeed given the medicine I gave you to my uncle, I will send your granddaughter back."
Just thinking about Su Baitian's expression when he knew that the housekeeper he had used for so many years was the one who drugged him, Su Nan couldn't help but feel excited.
Originally, he didn't want to do this. He planned to hand over Su Baitian to him when he was old, but suddenly Huo Yunting appeared.
Su Baitian would rather try every possible way to get Huo Yunting to come back and inherit the Su family than hand the Su family over to him. For this reason alone, Su Baitian deserves to die!
Uncle Zhong's expression changed, and he said angrily, "I've already done what you asked me to do! If I don't see my granddaughter before tomorrow, I will tell the truth to the master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl's scream and cry for help were heard from the other side.
"Grandpa...save me...I don't want to be beaten anymore...wuwuwu..."
Hearing his granddaughter's cry for help, Uncle Zhong's face was filled with anger, "Sunan, are you still human?! My granddaughter is only eight years old!"
"Uncle Zhong, since you know your granddaughter is only eight years old, you should listen to me. If you dare to threaten me again, I can't guarantee whether she will be returned to you alive or dead."
"you!"
Uncle Zhong was filled with anger and regret. He shouldn't have been threatened by Sunan at that time. It was too late to regret now.
"Okay, if you really do what I say, my uncle will vomit blood and fall into a coma in a few days. After I take control of the Su family, I will release your granddaughter."
After saying that, Sunan hung up the phone.
Uncle Zhong put down his phone, his eyes filled with pain and regret.
If he were given another chance, he would definitely tell Su Baitian the whole truth.
However, it's too late to regret now...
After moving into Xiao Muzhen's villa, Chen Tian finally had a good sleep.
When she woke up the next morning, she saw Xiao Muzhen eating breakfast while reading a document, and surprise flashed in Shen Tian's eyes.
"Zhenzhen, today is Saturday, do you still have to work?"
Xiao Muzhen put down the documents in his hand, looked at Chen Tian and said, "No, I have some things of my own to deal with."
"oh."
"Come over and have breakfast. I'm going out for a while."
"So early?!"
"Well, I'm going out first. If you have anything, just call me directly."
Before Shen Tian could speak, Xiao Muzhen had already picked up the documents and stood up to leave.
It was just past eight in the morning when we arrived at the gate of Huo Yunting's villa.
Xiao Muzhen took a deep breath, picked up the documents from the passenger seat, got out of the car, stood at the door and rang the doorbell.
Soon, the door opened.
When he saw Xiao Muzhen, Huo Yunting frowned.
"You came here so early, are you here to see Yiyi?"
Xiao Muzhen looked up at him and said, "No, I came to find you."
After the two sat down in the living room, Xiao Muzhen handed him the documents in his hand.
"This is the client I contacted last night who is willing to cooperate with you. See if you need anything. It will take a long time to snatch the Huo family back from Tang Ruxing. I have screened the clients here and they have had conflicts with the Tang family. You can trust them."
Huo Yunting took the document, but did not open it in a hurry. Instead, he stared at Xiao Muzhen with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Why are you helping me?"
Meeting his dark eyes, Xiao Muzhen turned away indifferently.
"Because Huo's was taken away by Tang Ruxing, it was because of Xiao's reasons. You wanted to help Xiao's before, so I should help you now."
"Is it just because of the Xiao family?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned, her voice becoming a bit colder. "Huo Yunting, I'm already engaged to Shi Yiheng. It's impossible for us to be together. I also hope that you won't show any more feelings for me. I've already given you the list. If you're willing to believe me, take a look. If not, forget it."
She stood up and left immediately, her steps quick and hasty.
Back in the car, she looked up at the door and saw Huo Yunting standing there, his eyes fixed on her. She unconsciously tightened her grip on the steering wheel, quickly started the car and left.
On the other side, Shi Yiheng knew that Xiao Muzhen went to find Huo Yunting, so he threw his phone away.
The servant was startled and hung his head, not daring to speak, for fear of angering Shi Yiheng.
"Get the car ready, I want to go out!"
As soon as Xiao Muzhen returned to the villa gate, he saw Shi Yiheng's car parked not far away.
She got out of the car and walked towards his car. When she was almost at the side of the car, the back door was pushed open and Shi Yiheng got out of the car with a grim expression.
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
"Why did you go to see Huo Yunting?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muzhen's expression turned cold, "You sent someone to follow me?"
Shi Yiheng sneered, "I was originally here to protect you, but I didn't expect to find out that you went to look for Huo Yunting. Your relationship with him is over. What could be so important that you need to go to his house to look for him?!"
Faced with Shi Yiheng's questioning, Xiao Muzhen couldn't help but frown.
"Shi Yiheng, I am indeed engaged to you, but that doesn't mean I have sold my freedom to you. It's none of your business who I want to meet and associate with."
Her face was full of anger. After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave, but Shi Yiheng grabbed her wrist.
"Have you forgotten how he hurt you in the first place?! While you were in a coma in the hospital, he was publicly engaged to another woman! You're still going to him now, don't you feel like you're degrading yourself?!"
