Chapter 107 Xu Xingluo came to apologize
the next day.
Huo family villa.
Gentle sunlight shone into the bedroom through the white gauze curtains. Qiao Xi slowly opened her eyes. Her hand touched her side, and it was warm.
Huo Xingzhou had already gotten up.
She heard the man talking on the phone on the balcony, and fragments of his words reached her ears.
After a while, Huo Xingzhou pushed open the glass door and walked in. He looked at her and said, "The footprints by Qing Lake have been destroyed."
Qiao Xi was surprised: "Didn't Mr. Huo ask for bodyguards..."
A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. "Just a few bodyguards, how could they stop them? This morning, the Liu family announced that a servant accidentally pushed Xu Xingluo, and you were implicated and fell into the water. The Liu family will come to apologize."
"them?"
"The Liu family, the Xu family or the Xiang family." Huo Xingzhou had expected this.
Qiao Xi said, "Then you said the trace identification expert..."
"I won't come. It's just a verbal threat."
"This will not only clear me of suspicion, but also won't offend those big families." The more Qiao Xi spoke, the more she felt that Mr. Huo was doing things in a prudent manner.
Huo Xingzhou stroked her cheek with his fingers and asked, "Are you feeling wronged?"
Qiao Xi shook her head, her almond-shaped eyes spreading into a faint smile: "I'm not wronged. Will Mr. Huo blame me for hitting someone?"
She always cared about the weight Xu Xingluo held in Huo Xingzhou's heart.
According to outsiders, Xu Xingluo might be the first love of the man in front of her, and it was the kind of first love with very deep feelings that could not be forgotten.
Childhood sweethearts and first loves are different after all.
"No." The man pinched her cheek and said, "Rabbits only bite when they are anxious. Try to bite me next time."
Qiao Xi blushed.
Huo Xingzhou straightened his coat and said, "I have to go to the company today. You should rest well at home. If they come to apologize, don't be too polite and make your request."
Qiao Xi nodded obediently.
After Huo Xingzhou left, she simply washed up and went downstairs. Aunt Qian made her some sweet and soft jujube paste cake, which was paired with red bean porridge and was very good for nourishing the blood.
"Young Madam, come and eat." Aunt Qian called out.
Qiao Xi smiled and sat at the dining table, "It smells so good."
"As long as you like it." Aunt Qian watched her happily eat a piece of jujube paste cake and asked, "Young Madam, have you heard a rumor recently?"
"What rumors?"
Aunt Qian said tentatively, "The Su family."
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and waited for her to speak seriously.
"The Su family is going bankrupt. The Huo family's main branch held a trial yesterday, and Su Heng was involved. He was taken away for investigation, and he is heavily in debt." Aunt Qian added, fearing that she would worry about Zhao Yuzhen.
"Now the creditors are surrounding your mother and asking her to pay off Su Heng's debts. The Su family is selling off their real estate. Su Heng should be finished this time."
Qiao Xi chewed the soft and fragrant date paste cake in her mouth. No wonder Su Weiwei left the hospital in a hurry last time.
As for the miserable end of that woman Zhao Yuzhen, she couldn't be happy.
"Young Madam?" Aunt Qian called softly.
Qiao Xi put down the jujube paste cake and said, "Did she call the Huo family..."
"She was beaten, and she cried pitifully," Aunt Qian said with emotion. "I think you should know about this kind of thing. We are mother and daughter. I'm afraid you'll regret it later. Blood ties are unbreakable."
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said calmly, "I understand."
Just as Aunt Qian was about to continue speaking, the doorbell of the villa rang. She wiped her hands and got up to open the door.
When Qiao Xi saw the person coming, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Madam Liu, Miss Xu, please come in." Aunt Qian said politely.
Liu Qiushuang walked in on crutches and saw the wedding photo hanging on the wall and said, "What a perfect match."
Xu Xingluo felt that each sweet wedding photo was piercing her heart.
Aunt Qian was a shrewd person. She said with a smile, "The young master and the young mistress have been through thick and thin together, and their love is deeper than that of ordinary couples. Unlike some people who can only share wealth and glory, but will flee separately when disaster strikes."
Liu Qiu Shuang knew very well who the "certain people" she was talking about were, and she could only pretend to be confused.
"Xingluo." Liu Qiushuang waved her hand, "Put down all the gifts quickly."
Xu Xingluo carried the large and small bags and placed them on the coffee table in the living room. She said, "Qiao Xi, I'm sorry for last night. I didn't understand the situation clearly, and you were misunderstood. It's all the fault of that servant. He was careless and got us all into trouble."
Qiao Xi took a look and saw that they were all expensive gifts. Mr. Huo said, "You're welcome."
She said distantly, "If you apologize, we're even."
Xu Xingluo looked around and said, "Didn't you take any travel photos for your wedding photos? I remember Brother Xingzhou said before that he wanted to take his wedding photos while traveling, but the ones on the wall are all studio photos."
Aunt Qian said with a forced smile, "Miss Xu, how can you travel and take photos with your legs disabled? The young master said that what others have will be given to the young lady in the future. You don't have to worry."
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but smile.
Xu Xingluo's eyes were filled with tears. "I'm sorry. I hope more than anyone else that Brother Xingzhou is okay. He saved me first last night. You won't blame me, will you?"
Aunt Qian snorted disdainfully.
Qiao Xi licked her dry lips and said, "No. He said he wanted to save me, but accidentally saved the wrong person."
Xu Xingluo was choked.
Why would Huo Xingzhou condescend to explain to the village girl?
Aunt Qian secretly gave Qiao Xi a thumbs up, saying, "Young Madam, you did a great job!"
Liu Qiushuang tried to smooth things over, took her hand and said, "Good girl, to be honest, I have one more thing I want to ask of you."
"Please take a seat first." Qiao Xi was still very polite to her, "Aunt Qian, make a cup of tea."
"Okay, young madam." Aunt Qian walked into the kitchen.
There was a calculation in Xu Xingluo's peach blossom eyes, and she said with a smile: "I'm going to the bathroom, you guys talk first." After that, she walked towards the corner very familiarly.
Qiao Xi suppressed the slight discomfort in her heart and let her go.
Liu Qiushuang sat on the sofa beside her, a look of worry on her face. A well-maintained hand grasped her wrist and said, "Xiao Qiao, I can only ask you for help with this matter."
"Please go ahead."
Liu Qiushuang said solemnly, "I'd like you to treat my youngest son. He was in a car accident over 20 years ago and has been in a coma ever since, relying on medical equipment to keep him alive."
The elegant old lady had red eyes and was wiping away tears.
"The doctor said he can't hold on for much longer..."
"Xiao Qiao, please help me. Our Liu family will reward you handsomely and will grant your request." Liu Qiu Shuang was willing to pay any price for her youngest son.
Qiao Xi felt very sympathetic towards her.
But I always remember Cheng Han's advice. Grandpa Cheng said that the Liu family's request must not be agreed to under any circumstances.
"Grandma Liu, I'm not that capable."
"Xiao Qiao, give it a try!" Liu Qiushuang said eagerly, "Just give it a try, go and see for yourself!"
Qiao Xi's heart tightened, and she shook her head in embarrassment: "Sorry, I can't agree to this."
Liu Qiushuang was eager: "You also swore an oath when you entered school, dedicating yourself to medicine and saving the dying and the wounded! Xiao Qiao, you can save Huo Xingzhou, why can't you see my son?"
Qiao Xi closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look directly.
She could not forget what she said on the day she took the oath, and she was ready to devote her life to medicine.
But now she has refused a patient's family's request for medical treatment.
