Chapter 126: Hold your head high and commit crimes with beauty
The next day.
Three hours before the charity auction, Huo Sijiao rushed to the Huo family villa with her makeup artist and went straight to the master bedroom.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here." She pushed open the door and asked, "My brother is not here?"
Qiao Xi had just finished taking a shower and came out wiping her wet hair and said, "He's busy at the company, he'll come back to pick us up later."
The entire second branch of the Huo family will be present at tonight's charity auction.
"You're really like a slave working like a slave." Huo Sijiao sighed, "Let the makeup artist put on your makeup first."
"Um."
Qiao Xi asked hesitantly, "I heard that at the annual Rongde Auction, everyone has to prepare items. Do you think this will work?"
She took out a crystal clear topaz from the drawer of her dressing table. It was the one Zhao Yuzhen had given her.
"This is topaz."
Huo Sijiao is knowledgeable and can tell that it is a good thing at first glance.
"Sister-in-law, where did you get this good stuff? It feels as smooth as fat and has a pure color. It's round in the shape of a teardrop and is not light in weight." This is worth at least a million.
Huo Sijiao knew that Qiao Xi's family was poor, and her expensive jewelry and clothes were all given to her by her brother and mother. She had never seen this topaz before.
Qiao Xi's eyes were dim: "Zhao Yuzhen gave it to me. She said it was mine. There's no point in me keeping it..."
"She still has some conscience," Huo Sijiao said. "The Rongde Auction is very large, and generally, only items estimated at over 100,000 can enter."
"That's good."
Qiao Xi was also relieved.
"Speaking of topaz, the Liu family will definitely participate in the auction this time." Huo Sijiao said loudly.
"Is there any connection?"
"I heard they're looking for the piece that Second Uncle Liu lost. He's worn it since he was a child. The Liu family is superstitious and thinks finding it will help Second Uncle Liu wake up. That's why they never miss any auction, big or small."
Huo Sijiao found it strange to think about it, but then she remembered that when Huo Xingzhou was unconscious, their family even believed in the wedding plan.
I can also understand their feelings.
For the sake of family, sometimes we can do anything ridiculous.
Qiao Xi carefully placed the topaz in a small wooden box and put it in her handbag.
…
At six o'clock in the afternoon, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
There was not much respect in Chen Xun's eyes. He just said politely, "Young Madam, the car is downstairs."
"good."
Qiao Xi was dressed up, wearing a Chanel-style suit jacket over her skirt to cover the exposed skin on her shoulders.
"Sister-in-law, stop covering yourself. Everyone is dressed beautifully, this is fashion!" Seeing this, Huo Sijiao snatched her coat and threw it back into the master bedroom.
Qiao Xi was unable to stop him, and Chen Xun beside her urged again: "Madam, Mr. Huo is waiting for you in the car."
Qiao Xi glanced at him, then followed him downstairs, holding up her skirt. She said, "Assistant Chen, I heard that when you were discussing business in the capital, you were the only one who could enter and leave Mr. Huo's room?"
Chen Xunyi was nervous and said quickly, "Yes."
"I received a video sent to me by Miss Xu, which involved my husband's privacy." Qiao Xi knew that Chen Xun was Huo Xingzhou's right-hand man, so she didn't break up with him, but just warned him.
"Things like this affect our relationship as husband and wife. I don't want to receive them anymore." Qiao Xi said seriously.
Chen Xun understood that this was a warning from Qiao Xi, but also an opportunity.
A storm surged in his heart, and he said respectfully, "Yes, Madam."
He was deeply regretful at this moment that he had helped Xu Xingluo out of personal favor, as it was not good for his promotion. How many people envied the position of CEO's special assistant? It was simply a step to heaven.
Chen Xun walked out of the villa quickly and opened the car door attentively: "Young Madam, please get in the car."
"Thanks."
Qiao Xi said softly.
She looked up and saw the man concentrating on handling official business in the car, so she lifted her skirt and sat down next to him.
Huo Xingzhou closed his laptop and rubbed his sore temples.
"Let me press it for you." Qiao Xi stretched out her hand and gently pressed on the acupoint on his head.
The white and slender arms were swaying in front of the man. Huo Xingzhou could see the unobstructed spring scenery by lowering his head slightly.
This skirt is indeed very sexy.
Qiao Xi usually dresses simply and gracefully, rarely looking so bright and charming.
"Who picked the dress?" Huo Xingzhou asked lazily.
Qiao Xi paused and said, "Jiaojiao ordered it."
"It's a bit cold in the auction room," he kindly reminded.
But Qiao Xi felt that the man in front of her thought she was wearing too little.
"Oh." She lowered her head, feeling a little disappointed. She had expected him to say something, but it turned out to be just a lukewarm response.
Huo Xingzhou noticed her emotions and pinched her cheek: "What are you expecting?"
He could see through her little thoughts.
"No." Her red lips were filled with cinnabar-colored lipstick, which was translucent and beautiful.
Huo Xingzhou moved closer and said in a low voice, "Very beautiful."
Qiao Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked up into the deep eyes of the deep pool, seeing the surprise and admiration in them. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her almond eyes sparkled.
"real?"
"Um."
Qiao Xi pursed her red lips, thinking of what Huo Sijiao and Shu Xue had said: cuteness is nothing compared to sexiness.
Men are visual animals.
Qiao Xi felt uncomfortable under his burning gaze. She turned her head and shouted out the window, "Jiaojiao, get in the car!"
"Here I come, sister-in-law!"
Huo Sijiao walked quickly into the car, and a huge light bulb squeezed into the back seat, breaking the ambiguity that had just risen.
"Brother, is my sister-in-law beautiful? Are you staring at her? My sister-in-law will definitely be stunning tonight!" She said proudly, as if it were herself.
She was already covering her cheeks and imagining the scene. Anyway, Xu Xingluo would never be able to wear such sexy clothes in her life unless she had breast pads.
"Jiaojiao, you are exaggerating." Qiao Xi stopped her from talking too much.
"Sister-in-law, you are beautiful. It's because you don't dress up that you are outdone by those people." Huo Sijiao had to make her confident.
Qiao Xi's bare face is pure and bright, but with the help of makeup and clothes, she has completely transformed into a charming and beautiful woman.
But her clear eyes formed a huge contrast with her dress, creating a kind of contradictory beauty.
"Sister-in-law, hold your head high! Show us everything we have! If I hadn't taken you to the store, I wouldn't have known you had a C."
Qiao Xi almost wanted to hit her head against the ground as she listened to her increasingly outrageous remarks.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her quietly out of the corner of his eyes. It seemed that the supplements prepared by Aunt Qian were useful.
"Jiaojiao, I feel a little carsick. Let me rest for a while." Qiao Xi made a lame excuse and leaned on the cushion to take a nap.
Huo Xingzhou gently moved her head with his hand and leaned it on his shoulder.
"I'll call you when we get there."
"Yeah." Qiao Xi felt sweet in her heart.
Huo Sijiao covered her eyes and said, "When it comes to showing affection, who can compare to you two? I'm going to sit with my parents later. I don't want to be blinded by you."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "It's best not to be a light bulb."
