Chapter 754: Untainted by Dust
Huo Yunting's expression was icy. "So, has there been nothing wrong with him during this period?"
Uncle Zhong shook his head. "No, it's just that he had a headache recently after arguing with you last time."
Huo Yunting fell silent and did not speak again, and the atmosphere in the living room became stagnant.
Sensing the low pressure emanating from his body, Uncle Zhong lowered his head even lower.
After a while, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, Uncle Zhong could not help but look up, but he met a pair of extremely cold eyes.
A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes and he quickly looked away.
"Master, if there is nothing else, I will go and get busy first."
"Go ahead."
It was not until he left the living room that Uncle Zhong felt the thorny gaze on him disappear, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the living room, Huo Yunting's face became extremely gloomy.
Through Uncle Zhong’s reaction just now, he was even more certain that there must be something hidden behind Su Baitian’s sudden critical illness.
While I was lost in thought, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang.
When he saw that it was Xiao Muzhen, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and his gaze became cold.
Didn't she say she wanted to be friends?
Why are you calling yourself now?
Thinking of what she said in the hospital, Huo Yunting hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to answer the call and hung up directly.
On the other side, Xiao Muzhen saw the call was hung up, turned to look at Xun Zi and said, "He refuses to answer the phone, why don't you call him yourself, Mom."
Xun Zi frowned, looking a little unhappy.
"Don't forget, if he hadn't found your third brother this time, you would have married the beast in human form, Shi Yiheng."
"So, in a sense, he is your benefactor. Since you can't get through on the phone, go find him in person and be sure to invite him to our house for dinner."
Xiao Muzhen thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I understand. I will go."
"Then go now and don't delay."
Xiao Muzhen was a little helpless, but still went out and drove straight to Huo Yunting's villa.
After ringing the doorbell, the person who came out was not Huo Yunting, but the Huo family's nanny.
Seeing Xiao Muzhen, she smiled and said, "Miss Xiao, are you here to see Miss Yiyi?"
Xiao Muzhen shook her head. "No, I'm here to look for Huo Yunting. Is he home?"
"Mr.'s father was critically ill, and he rushed to the hospital. He hasn't come back yet, so he's probably still in the hospital."
Shock flashed in Xiao Muzhen's eyes. Su Baitian was actually critically ill?
"I see. When he comes back, please tell him to call me back. I need to talk to him about something."
The nanny nodded, "Okay."
After leaving the villa, Xiao Muzhen went straight back to the Xiao family.
Xun Zi raised her eyebrows unconsciously when she saw him come back.
"So soon, did Huo Yunting agree?"
"I haven't seen him. I heard that Su Baitian is critically ill and he is in the hospital now."
Xun Zi frowned upon hearing this. "Critically ill? Wasn't he fine not long ago?"
"I don't know either. I just heard what Huo Yunting's nanny said."
Xun Zi quickly reached for her phone and said in a deep voice, "I'll call your dad and tell him about this."
Xiao Tuo had already known about this matter. "I just heard from the shareholders. The specific situation is still unclear. The Su family is keeping the news secret. We will tell you when there is any news."
In less than half a day, the news that Huo Yunting temporarily replaced Su Baitian as the head of the Su family spread throughout the capital.
Those who were ready to laugh at him because of Huo’s bankruptcy were all extremely shocked.
Everyone is talking about this.
"I didn't expect Huo Yunting to be Su Baitian's biological son. He became the heir to the Su family right after the Huo family went bankrupt. His status is even higher than before. It seems that I can't offend him easily in the future."
"What does this prove? No matter how hard you try, it's useless. It's better to have a good father."
"Haha, I don't think this is a good thing. Those people in the Su family are all eyeing the Su family's property. It's extremely difficult for Huo Yunting, an illegitimate child who appeared out of nowhere, to control the Su family."
No matter what the outside world said or discussed, Huo Yunting never came out to explain.
Su Nan, who was taking care of Su Baitian in the ward, was so angry when he saw the news that Huo Yunting became the head of the Su family that he almost crushed his phone.
Needless to say, this news must have been leaked by that bastard Huo Yunting.
The purpose is to take over the Su family while Su Baitian is unconscious.
But before Su Baitian fell into a coma, he made a will, leaving everything in the Su family to Huo Yunting. Even if he disagreed, there was nothing he could do.
Thinking of this, Su Nan looked hatefully at Su Baitian who was lying on the hospital bed.
If he wasn't so biased, I wouldn't have done such a cruel thing to him.
If he had known that Su Baitian had made such a will, he would definitely not have chosen to attack him at this time.
But it's too late to regret now.
However, it is not easy for Huo Yunting to secure his position as the head of the Su family.
Su Nan took out his cell phone and called his third uncle Su Yi.
On the other side, Huo Yunting sorted out the complicated relationships of the Su family and left the old house.
Su Baitian has two brothers and one sister, his second brother Su Cheng, his third brother Su Yi, and his youngest sister Su Moyue.
Su Cheng, Sunan's father, passed away when Sunan was very young, so Sunan was raised under the name of Su Baitian.
The third brother Su Yi is now the second in command of the Su family. He owns 10% of the company's shares and has a certain say.
Because Su Baitian's health has not been very good in recent years and he only goes to the company occasionally, Su Yi has become closer to the company's shareholders.
Moreover, Su Yi's talent in business is no less than Su Baitian's, so the shareholders also respect him very much.
As for the younger sister, she had married far away in another country a long time ago and had hardly come back in recent years, so she had lost contact with them.
Considering Su Yi's control over the company, it would definitely not be easy to ask him to delegate power.
Moreover, Su Nan also holds 3% of the company's shares. If the two of them join forces to deal with him, he will be isolated and helpless in the company.
However, Huo Yunting was not in a hurry about this matter. After all, Su Yi and Su Nan had been in the company for so many years. If he wanted to pull them down, he couldn't act too hastily, otherwise he would not get any benefits.
If Su Baitian's critical illness was not an accident, the person who attacked him was either Su Yi or Su Nan.
Now we just need to wait and see who shows up first.
After returning to the villa, Huo Yunting had just changed his shoes when the nanny came up to him.
"Sir, Miss Xiao came to see you today. She asked you to call her back if you come back."
Hearing this, Huo Yunting's face showed no expression, and he said indifferently, "I understand."
After returning to the study, Huo Yunting looked at the documents for a while, but still couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and call Xiao Muzhen.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
