The news that Mr. Xiao was hospitalized for shock spread throughout the upper class of Harbor City within an hour.
At that time, Chu Mochen was kissing Song Yunxuan, but the assistant knocked on the door at such a critical time.
Song Yunxuan pushed him away, pulled up her shirt, and turned her back.
Chu Mochen suppressed the displeasure in his heart, sighed, helplessly wrapped the quilt around her, and then got out of bed to open the door.
At the door was his right-hand man for several years.
Seeing Chu Mochen's messy hair, he was a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter?"
The assistant whispered, "The elder of the Xiao family seems to be dead."
Chu Mochen's indifferent eyes suddenly shook, and the expression on his face instantly became dignified.
The assistant still wanted to say something.
Chu Mochen looked back at the bedroom door.
At the bedroom door was Song Yunxuan in a shirt, holding the door frame and looking over.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to the assistant, "Wait outside, I'll be right there."
The assistant nodded.
Chu Mochen closed the door and went to the bedroom to change clothes.
Song Yunxuan was not very obedient just now, and her clothes were wrinkled when he cleaned her up.
Seeing him changing clothes in the room, Song Yunxuan opened her lips and asked him, "What happened?"
"Be good and stay here."
"Can I go with you?" Song Yunxuan walked a few steps closer and asked him with clean eyes.
Chu Mochen refused without thinking, "It's business. It's not appropriate for a woman to go with me."
"Dinner?"
Chu Mochen nodded, tidied up his shirt, and was about to tie a tie.
Song Yunxuan reached out to take a red tie from the wardrobe, "I'll help you."
Chu Mochen glanced at the tie in her hand, and reached out to take a dark blue one from the wardrobe, "No need."
After tying the tie, Chu Mochen put on his coat and left.
Song Yunxuan didn't see him out, but leaned against the bedroom door and watched him close the door.
She was still holding the red tie in her hand. Hearing the sound of the door closing, she lowered her eyes and her gaze fell on the red tie. She seemed to be deep in thought. "Who died?"
Chu Mochen went out of the room and ordered his assistant, "Find someone to guard the room. Don't let Yunxuan step out."
"Childe Chu, this has nothing to do with Miss Yunxuan."
Chu Mochen frowned, "It has nothing to do with her, but …"
However, she was very good at taking advantage of the situation.
If Gu Changge were Song Yunxuan at this time, Mr. Xiao's serious illness might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat the enemy.
He only said a 'but' and didn't say anything else.
The assistant was clever. Having worked for Chu Mochen for so many years, he naturally knew that he'd better not ask what Chu Mochen didn't want to say.
"Childe Chu, don't worry. I'll ask someone to keep an eye on Miss Song. However, the Song family has lost contact with Miss Yunxuan. Shall we inform the Song family?"
Chu Mochen strode out. "You don't need to inform me."
The Song Family was eager to see Song Yunxuan disappear in Harbor City.
Since there was no news of Song Yunxuan for the time being, let her pretend to disappear for a while.
…
Loki stayed in Chyna Hospital in Harbor City to watch his grandfather in the intensive care unit.
Outside the CPU ward were the bodyguards of the Xiao family and the first-class doctors of Harbor City.
Later, Loki's second uncle and third uncle rushed over.
Loki's second uncle was bad-tempered. Seeing Loki waiting outside the CPU ward, he came up and slapped Loki in the face.
The atmosphere in the hospital was originally anxious. Even the first-class doctors were cautious in the face of the operation and treatment plan of the richest man in Harbor City.
A few doctors gathered together to discuss the treatment plan. Suddenly, there was a slap from the other side of the room.
The whispers in the whole hospital corridor suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked in the direction of the slap.
Then they saw Loki being knocked down to the ground.
After the burly man slapped him, he wanted to grab his collar and slap him again.
A thin man behind him desperately stopped him. "Second brother, calm down. Loki didn't want this."
"It's all because of this bastard. If it hadn't made dad angry, dad wouldn't be in a coma in the intensive care unit now!"
When Chu Mochen arrived, he saw the chaotic scene of the third son of the Xiao family stopping his second brother from beating his eldest nephew.
Several families who had a good relationship with the Xiao family rushed over when they heard the news of the collapse of the elder of the Xiao family, including the Huo family.
Even the Lu family, which had never had a good relationship with the Xiao family, came over for the sake of face.
But only three people were allowed to enter the corridor.
Lu Xia, the young lady of the Lu family, Chu Mochen, the only son of the Chu family, and Huo Ting, the young master of the Huo family.
The rest of the people who came to visit were all stopped outside.
The young lady of the Lu family was indifferent and looked ordinary. Although she was the kind of girl who couldn't be found in a crowd, she was surrounded by a kind of elegant and demure temperament.
The young master of the Huo family and Lu Xia came earlier.
When Chu Mochen arrived, they had already talked for a while in the corridor.
The second and third young masters of the Xiao family were busy teaching the eldest nephew. Huo Ting came to talk to him. "I heard that this boy made his grandfather die of anger."
Lu Xia was wearing a nude mid-length skirt. When she saw Chu Mochen, she nodded to him slightly. Although she was well-maintained, her calm eyes showed that she had been through a lot of battles. Chu Mochen was a little surprised, but he could tell that she had been through a lot.
Chu Mochen also nodded to her.
At this time, Huo Ting didn't see any estrangement with Chu Mochen. He just said to him, "I didn't expect that the Xiao family even let you, a person from Yuncheng, in."
"I have business dealings with the Xiao family."
Huo Ting smiled faintly. "I think the Xiao family let us in to visit the patient, most likely to tell us that the elder of the Xiao family died of anger because of that boy who was beaten, and then …"
Chu Mochen followed Huo Ting's sight and happened to see the second and third sons of Xiao Jiancheng scolding Xiao Luo loudly and protecting him.
"These two uncles are good at acting. One plays the bad guy, and the other plays the good guy." Chu Mochen withdrew his sight.
Huo Ting also nodded. "As long as we know that it was the boy who made the old man die of anger, it will be justifiable for the family to overturn the will and drive the brat out of the family."
Lu Xia had a small shawl on her shoulders. She had a curvy figure and looked coldly at the two sons and grandsons of Xiao Jiancheng.
Chu Mochen had heard of Lu Xia earlier, but he didn't expect that the one who represented the Lu family today was the adopted daughter of the Lu family.
Huo Ting saw that he looked at Lu Xia and seemed to have something to say. But he didn't speak because of Lu Xia's presence.
Lu Xia had no interest in the elders of the Lu family teaching the brat a lesson. Not to mention to stop the brat, she even didn't mean to mediate between the two sides.
The tall foreign assistant handed a phone to Lu Xia. Lu Xia slightly raised her eyebrows and took it. Then she gave it to the secretary without saying a word.
Then she turned around and walked out.
Lu Xia got into the elevator and left without saying goodbye. Only the blond male assistant followed her.
When Lu Xia left, the two sons of Xiao Jiancheng were stunned. Then they looked at Loki coldly, even with some mockery.
Huo Ting whispered, "I don't know what agreement the woman of the Lu family has reached with Mr. Xiao. She has been protecting the grandson of the Xiao family before."
"But from today's farce, the young lady of the Lu family doesn't want to intervene in the affairs of the Xiao family."
Huo Ting nodded. "I think so, too."
Chu Mochen looked at the unconscious Mr. Xiao in the ICU ward and looked at Loki standing in the distance with his head down. "The two sons of the Xiao family want to rebel and seize the inheritance of this nephew. Just do it. Why do we have to watch this drama?"
"At least he should have a good reason. If we publicize that this young heir is ignorant and incompetent and made his grandfather die of anger, no one in Harbor City will stand up for him."
"Which side does the Huo family support?" Chu Mochen asked Huo Ting.
Huo Ting smiled. "Don't you know? The three families in Harbor City are intertwined. Although our Huo family is on good terms with the Lu family on the surface, the people of the Lu family must be the enemy of our Huo family. "
Chu Mochen nodded. "I see. You want to help his two uncles."
Huo Ting shrugged. "It can't be helped. Besides, the Lu family just gave up Xiao Luo at this time. Even if I want to support Xiao Luo, he can't fight against his two uncles."
Chu Mochen didn't say anything. He just looked at the bed in the ICU ward.
The three families in Harbor City were well-known in Harbor City and even in Yuncheng. They were the three families of Xiao, Lu, and Huo.
But it was not like this eighteen years ago.
Eighteen years ago, the three families in Harbor City were led by the Lu family, followed by the Xiao family, and then by the Huo family.
But the heir of the Lu family was killed when he was twenty years old. The Lu couple only had one son. Because of the sudden death of the son, they fell ill one after another.
The head of the Lu family was not as persistent as the old man of the Xiao family. Even if his son died, he must find another woman to have another child.
The head of the Lu family was a man of single-minded love. After the death of his only son, he devoted himself to taking care of his sick wife. His wife died of a serious illness three years later.
At that time, the head of the Lu family was at the lowest point of his life. But Xiao Xuan, the eldest son of the Xiao family, was in the limelight. He was determined to suppress the Lu family and even wanted to destroy the Lu family like crazy.
The Lu family had no backbone. Xia, a girl from the orphanage who accompanied the young master of the Lu family to study when she was a child, was adopted by the head of the Lu family and was named Lu.
Lu Xia was fierce and cruel. She had the demeanor of a head.
When Xiao Xuan wanted to destroy the Lu family, Lu Xia risked her life with him. Xiao Xuan was almost killed, and Lu Xia lost two fingers because of it.
Therefore, although the Lu family had been low-key for so many years, it was just a dormant tiger.
No matter how powerful the Xiao family was, they still had to worry about the Lu family.
When the old man was healthy, he secretly reached an agreement with the Lu family without telling his two sons.
It was probably for the sake of asking the female head of the Lu Family to protect him, the young eldest grandson.
Unfortunately, although the female head of the Lu family was not a simple person, she always liked to do things that were more beneficial to herself.
