Chapter 104: Waking Up
The two siblings of the Cui family have had a special teacher to teach them etiquette since
they were young. They learned not to talk while eating.
But the atmosphere in the restaurant today was different from the past.
Boom!
Cui Xinyue was the first one to lose his temper.
Huo Qiao slowly swallowed the food in his mouth and put down his chopsticks.
He knew that he was not here to eat today.
"Brother, don't you have anything to explain to me?"
Cui Xinyue had been feeling frustrated for the past few days and had nowhere to vent. Although she was annoyed by Huo Qiao's disobedience, she was not angry.
What made her even more unacceptable was Cui Xianxing's attitude.
From childhood to adulthood, Cui Xianxing always responded to her requests, whether it was when she insisted on being with the playboy Huo Qiting or when she used her pregnancy before marriage to force her family.
Although Cui Xianxing opposed at first, as long as she moved out her deceased mother,
he would eventually compromise.
But what happened this time?
"It was agreed that I would be in charge of the Tanshuiwan project, why did you hand it over to Huo Qiao? Big brother, have you forgotten that my last name is Cui too! Half of this family business belongs to me! Also, have you forgotten how you promised mom? Is this how you take care of me? Now everyone is laughing at me! I am the wife of the Huo family, but I can't even make the decision on a small Tanshuiwan project! Cui Xianxing, are you embarrassing me on purpose?" The
hoarse female voice was fierce and aggrieved.
Old Master Cui just silently picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of his lips.
Huo Qiao glanced at him and thought that chanting Buddha's name on the mountain was really useful this time.
The hot-tempered old man could actually endure it until now.
I just don't know what new way his good-tempered uncle who dotes on his sister without limit will come up with to excuse Cui Xianyue.
Huo Qiao lowered his eyes to look at the oily sheen in the soup bowl, because the afterglow of the light gave the soup an extra layer of soft light.
When he was 10 years old, he overheard Huo Qiting and Cui Xianyue talking about Dong Su's illegitimate child, and ran back to the Cui family as soon as possible.
At that time, the old man was discussing a big business overseas.
Only Cui Xianxing was in the Cui family.
He was too naive at that time and actually pinned his hopes on Cui Xianxing.
He thought that if he told Cui Xianxing about Huo Qiting's cheating, things would change.
At least Cui Xianxing could persuade Cui Xianyue to stay away from the vortex of the Huo family that dragged people to hell.
But Cui Xianxing actually laughed after hearing what he said.
Huo Qiao always remembered what he said at that time.
"He's just an unimportant little person, you just pretend you don't know. Your mother is already sad enough knowing about this, you should stop making things difficult for her. By the way, your uncle will take you to Ruitu for skiing during this winter vacation..."
Huo Qiao, who was only 10 years old, couldn't understand why
he had to pretend not to know. After returning to the Huo family, the young boy couldn't help it after all.
Just like now, during dinner, he angrily questioned Huo Qiting about this matter.
Huo Qiting had a disgusted expression at that time, as if saying one more word to him was redundant.
On the contrary, Cui Xianyue's face changed drastically, and she splashed the same hot seafood soup as the bowl in his hand on his face...
Huo Qiao let out a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little resentful towards Pei Yuzhi.
If Pei Yuzhi hadn't pestered him in the morning, he would not have missed the meeting of Cui Group today.
In this way, even if Cui Xianxing forgave Cui Xianyue without any bottom line, and then went back on her word and handed the Tanshui Bay project to her, Huo Qiao would have more cards to play.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Huo Qiao thought about some random things, but he didn't realize that Cui Xianxing today was very different from usual.
Cui Xianxing stared at his ferocious sister, the arrogance and fearlessness he was used to seeing.
But today it was particularly unsightly.
When did the little girl who hid behind him and cried timidly for her mother become this hysterical crazy woman?
Cui Xianxing didn't want to admit it, but Cui Xianyue seemed to have been raised crooked by him.
Cui Xianyue was hurt by the disappointment in Cui Xianxing's eyes, and her little rationality disappeared in an instant.
"Cui Xianxing, who are you showing this expression to? Do you regret it? Do you think I shouldn't take the Cui family's things? Huh? When my mother passed away, I asked you to take good care of me, Cui Xianxing, don't forget it!"
Cui Xianyue didn't know what she was saying at all.
Everything was fine!
She was the glorious wife of the Huo family, Huo Qiting had already made up his mind to live a good life with her, and Huo Qiao's arrogance was almost gone because of her persuasion.
How could everything change overnight?
Huo Qiting contacted Dong Su's illegitimate son again, and wanted to bring the illegitimate son back to the Huo family.
Of course she disagreed. If she really brought the illegitimate child back, where would she put her face?
She couldn't become the laughing stock of the Magic City!
That's why the marriage between Huo Qiao and Xie family happened.
Who knew that everything would be ruined.
Her eyes were red, and she finally grasped a life-saving straw in her chaotic mind.
It was Huo Qiao!
It turned out that it was all because of him!
Cui Xinyue suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Qiao hatefully!
Seeing this, Old Master Cui frowned even tighter.
He thought Cui Xinyue had lived a comfortable life these years and had long lost the stubbornness of her youth.
"Huo Qiao! You are a scoundrel, no wonder you have been embarrassing me recently. It turns out that you want the Tanshui Bay project. I tell you, don't even think about it! I have promised your father to do that project for the Huo family! Hand it over to me immediately!"
"Enough!"
Old Master Cui slammed the table.
Cui Xinyue opened her eyes wide in disbelief and shouted: "Dad, Cui Xianxing and Huo Qiao teamed up to bully me! I am your daughter, you can't be partial to me!"
Partial?
The back of Master Cui, who had stood firm all his life, suddenly collapsed.
If he was biased, he would not have allowed Cui Xinyue to do whatever she wanted all these years.
He was ruthless when he was young and did many things that were against the harmony of heaven. It seems that fasting and chanting Buddha's name all these years have not worked.
The retribution is always there.
After all, Master Cui has experienced many ups and downs. He turned to look at Huo Qiao and asked:
"Have you completed the procedures for the shares that the Huo family promised to give you?"
Huo Qiao paused: "Yes, it has been completed."
"Dad, what shares are you talking about?" Cui Xinyue couldn't help but stood up and came to Master Cui's side, "Aren't you talking about the Tanshui Bay project?"
"Divorce Huo Qiting as soon as possible."
Master Cui's tone was flat, but he left no room for doubt.
As soon as the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the restaurant.
Huo Qiao and Cui Xianxing looked at each other, and there was no surprise in each other's eyes.
His eyelids moved slightly, and he wondered secretly what happened?
Grandpa and uncle have always had the attitude that as long as Cui Xianyue is happy, it's fine.
Why are they asking Cui Xianyue and Huo Qiting to divorce now?
Cui Xianyue couldn't believe it, she almost thought she had heard it wrong.
"Dad, are you so old and confused? Why do I want to divorce Qi Ting when I'm fine?"
She seemed to have heard something extremely absurd, and her tone was sharp: "I don't think it's possible to divorce Qi Ting, you..."
Bang!
A heavy slap was slapped on her face, she screamed in pain, and her face was hit to the side.
Cui Xianxing subconsciously stood up and was about to say something with a cold face.
But thinking of something, he gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed with gloom.
Huo Qiao looked confused, as if he was watching a funny play.
How did grandpa and uncle suddenly wake up from their endless doting and indulgence of Cui Xianyue?
