By the time he returned to the Mo family, Mo Ting’s face was already very pale. He was leaning weakly against the back of his chair, and it looked like he didn’t even have the strength to cough anymore.
The atmosphere of the entire Mo family visibly dropped with his return.
Chi Xiao followed beside Mo Ting. As the members of the Mo family surrounded him, she was immediately pushed to the side.
Chi Xiao was also happy to be free. She crossed her arms and looked at Mo Ting being surrounded by his relatives. For some reason, Chi Xiao could see the helplessness on Mo Ting’s cold face.
“Miss Chi, may I carry the little master?” A nanny walked to Chi Xiao’s side and said these words. However, without needing Chi Xiao to respond, she reached out to take Mo Han.
Without batting an eyelid, she dodged the nanny’s hand, “No need. Han Han isn’t heavy. I’ll carry him.”
The nanny withdrew her hand embarrassedly and glanced at the crowd.
Unfortunately, the person that the nanny wanted to meet wasn’t in the crowd.
Second Uncle Mo’s family should be at their own home right now. They had just made a scene in front of Mo Ting. Why would they come back to the old residence to make things worse?
Elder Mo also trotted over with his walking stick. The old man’s legs were not very agile, so it was obvious that he was very fond of Mo Ting.
Facing Elder Mo, Mo Ting gave him a smile. However, this smile looked too pale, and looked a little weak and pitiful.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and send the eldest young master back to his room.” Elder Mo knocked his walking stick on the floor. “Go and call Doctor Sun over.”
Elder Mo was indeed the backbone of the entire Mo family. Under his orders, the entire Mo family started to move. Only when Mo Ting was hurriedly sent into his room did Su Ling have the time to look for Chi Xiao.
Chi Xiao understood Su Ling’s meaning and gestured for her to not speak for now. He led the people to a more private place. Chi Xiao then explained, “This was planned by Mo Ting. After all, we don’t have any leads on the person who poisoned him previously.”
Su Ling was shocked. After screaming, she hurriedly lowered her voice and said, “Isn’t it very dangerous to do this?”
If the person behind the scenes really seized power when Mo Ting was about to die of illness, then their family would no longer have a place in the entire Mo family.
Although the other members of the Mo family seemed to hold Mo Ting’s family in high esteem, Su Ling also knew that it was only superficial.
Once Mo Ting lost power, those who had been punished by Mo Ting would quickly turn around and bite him. Those who were used to not sticking their heads out would also be afraid of Mo Ting and would not let him come into contact with power again.
Su Ling was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She paced back and forth in front of Chi Xiao for a few rounds. Suddenly, Su Ling reacted and asked, “How is Han Han? What happened just now?”
Mo Ting had rushed out of the house after receiving a phone call and ignored Su Ling’s obstruction. It was only when his assistant called back that Su Ling found out that something had happened to Mo Han.
Chi Xiao’s heart warmed when she met Su Ling’s concerned eyes. She had originally told her about what had happened just now, including Second Uncle Mo’s scheme.
Sure enough, Su Ling was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She gritted her teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds.
Chi Xiao looked at Su Ling and was really afraid that she would faint from anger.
Fortunately, the commotion with Mo Ting had distracted Su Ling.
Perhaps it was because she was prepared or because she was well-informed, Mo Ting’s cousin sister, Mo Ning, brought a skinny man who dressed sloppily and had a french moustache. He looked like a hooligan and did not look like a decent man when he came to Mo Ting’s room.
Seeing Chi Xiao hiding at the side as if nothing had happened, Mo Ning frowned and glared at Chi Xiao.
“I really don’t know what the elder is thinking. Why did he let my cousin marry such a thing?”
Mo Ning pouted and put on a fawning smile. “Grandfather, this is the doctor I brought.”
Elder Mo was so angry that he blew on his beard. How did such a thing look like a doctor?
However, before Elder Mo could scold him, the man cupped his hands in a weird manner and said, “Hello, Elder Mo. I’m Gui Jianchou’s senior, Huo Yanwang. I’ve been entrusted by Miss Mo Ning to come today to treat Mr. Mo…”
Chi Xiao, who was watching from the side, could not swallow her saliva properly when she heard the man introduce himself. She coughed in an earth-shattering manner.
Fortunately, Mo Ting’s situation was too chaotic and no one was in the mood to pay attention to her.
After she recovered, Chi Xiao focused her attention on Mo Ting’s side.
She didn’t know what Huo Yanwang, who claimed to be her senior, had said, but it scared Elder Mo so much that he was stunned. He was also slightly respectful to that man.
“Since Elder Mo has already acknowledged my identity, I’m going to check Mr. Mo’s pulse.”
Huo Yanwang pinched his beard and pretended to be reserved as he checked Mo Ting’s pulse. Then, his expression became more and more serious. A moment later, he put down Mo Ting’s hand and sighed, “The house is not peaceful.”
His words were said without any sense.. Elder Mo quickly asked, “Whatc do you mean by that?”
