Chapter 380 Ten years ago, it was Qiao Xi who saved you
Huo Xingzhou stood there without making any movement.
If he got any closer, the distance would be too close.
This man had a calm demeanor, and even when he needed someone, he still refused to lower his stance. Xu Xingluo watched him lose his mind, and she envied Qiao Xi even more.
She cried till she ran out of tears and tried every possible means, but she still couldn't get his favor.
Even at the last moment, when I wanted to get closer to him, he refused to satisfy me.
She wanted so much to touch him again.
This may be the last time in my life.
"never mind."
Xu Xingluo closed his eyes and said hoarsely, "Ten years ago, it wasn't me who saved you in the avalanche cave, and it wasn't me who called for help. I was very scared during the avalanche, so I ran away."
Later, she realized that the avalanche had ended and heard from staff that it was safe.
Only then did he boldly go up the mountain.
"I saw two people, a young man carrying an unconscious girl. From a distance, I followed their footprints and found you."
She had never said this to anyone else.
She attributed everything to coincidence, subconsciously denying the girl's appearance and taking the blame for Huo Xingzhou's life-saving grace. When she arrived at the snow mountain cave, Huo Xingzhou was unconscious.
At that time, she had evil thoughts.
She wanted to be the white moonlight in the heart of the noble young man of Haicheng, and wanted to receive special treatment from Huo Xingzhou, the most outstanding man in the second branch of the Huo family.
Later it was proved that she had indeed become the most envied person by the socialites and daughters of the wealthy families in Haicheng.
Her good family background, her good looks, and her good talents.
And the wonderful man she was destined to be engaged to.
She is really a little princess, the center of attention!
Looking back now, that period seemed like a dream.
"Huo Xingzhou, I actually had some guesses in my mind. That time, that place, the same age, that girl..." Xu Xingluo's eyes were filled with tears, "All encounters are not accidental, they are destined."
That person is Qiao Xi.
Xu Xingluo didn't say the name, she was unwilling to do so.
But all the details reveal everything, and everyone knows it tacitly.
Huo Xingzhou's fingers that hung down at his sides bent slightly.
There were surging waves in his eyes, as if sweeping away everything.
He forced himself to suppress his emotions, looked at Xu Xingluo and said, "I will let the Liu family deal with you personally. They will decide whether to send you to prison or set you free."
Xu Xingluo's expression was sad. "Do you have to be so cruel to me? You know very well that they won't be soft on me in order to show their support to Qiao Xi. Huo Xingzhou, I still want to hold the right to choose in my own hands this time."
Huo Xingzhou didn't waste time with her and turned around and left the room.
Zhou Yu followed her and frowned, saying, "I don't understand what she said. Did you understand? Did she say that there is any progress on what happened ten years ago?"
"have."
Huo Xingzhou's words were concise and to the point.
Zhou Yu was puzzled as they were all in the same room.
How come he didn't get any news?
"Why are you still playing dumb with Xu Xingluo? Tell me the clues quickly and I'll check it out."
"Zhou Yu, no need to check."
Huo Xingzhou's expression was cold and indifferent, but Zhou Yu could see turbulent emotions in it. Huo Xingzhou seemed to be very restless.
Were those words Xu Xingluo said so destructive?
"You stay here and watch over Xu Xingluo. I'll go find the Liu family to take over."
"good."
Zhou Yu responded and asked worriedly, "Are you really okay?"
"fine."
Huo Xingzhou's voice was extremely calm as he walked down the corridor. His pace was a little faster than usual. When he reached the lounge, he heard voices coming from the Liu family's room. Their door was not closed, and he could see Du Juan and Qiao Xi chatting there.
Du Juan probably wanted to pave the way for Qiao Xi and improve her relationship with the Liu family.
Qiao Xi was sitting on a soft chair on the side, with his back straight and looking serious.
She would only respond after someone had spoken a few words. Yang Yuerong and Liu Huimin kept trying to find topics to chat with her, hoping to get to know her better through their conversation.
She was still wearing the dark green dress and had fair skin.
Her eyelashes are long and curled, and they blink gently.
Huo Xingzhou stood at the door for a while, and was spotted by Du Juan inside, who teased him, "What are you doing standing at the door? Are you mesmerized by your wife? I see your eyes are glued to her."
Huo Xingzhou's expression did not change after being teased.
He walked into the room, put his hand on Qiao Xi's shoulder, looked at everyone and said, "I'm going to let your Liu family decide Xu Xingluo's matter. Whether to send her to prison, send her abroad, or if you want her to fend for herself, it's up to you. The Huo family won't interfere."
He seemed to give the Liu family many choices.
In fact, it is to see the Liu family's attitude towards Xu Xingluo.
Liu Zongquan, the man in charge, was gone, so Xu Yunye, the responsible man in the room, said, "Xu Xingluo will pay for everything she did. Mom, don't you agree?"
He also specifically asked Liu Huimin, hoping that she could express her opinion.
Liu Huimin was no fool. She said, "Yes. She deserves to be punished. Our Liu family will not cover up for her. We will only demand a severe punishment."
"Xu Yunye, he's in the room at the end of the corridor. You can take him away."
"good."
Xu Yunye responded and prepared to leave, but turned back and said to Qiao Xi, "Don't worry."
He would not let Xu Xingluo go easily and would never give her another chance to hurt her.
"Then let's go downstairs to entertain the guests."
Qiao Xi took Huo Xingzhou's hand and found an excuse to escape from the room. The atmosphere here was too warm, even the previously hateful Liu Huimin looked much gentler.
Qiao Xi was not used to it and felt uncomfortable.
"good."
Huo Xingzhou patted the back of her hand gently and took her away.
Seeing her leave without looking back, Liu Huimin sighed and said dejectedly, "She's still very resistant to me."
Yang Yuerong smiled and said, "Take it slow. She still has feelings for Rongbao and Yunye, so give her more time." She said to Dujuan without hiding her intentions.
"I always hear people say that the girl is a country girl and not worthy of Xingzhou, which makes me feel uncomfortable. If she can recognize our Liu family, it will be a blessing for us. After all, the old lady has some old friends in the imperial capital, and she will participate in the needle testing conference in the future."
Yang Yuerong said everything clearly, and hoped that Du Juan could also play a supporting role and do some ideological work for Qiao Xi from time to time.
Dujuan understood what she meant and did not refuse.
When these rich people do things, they have to pave the way for their own retreat.
…
The other side.
Qiao Xi walked down the spiral staircase arm in arm with Huo Xingzhou. The man's scorching gaze remained fixed on her, burning her heart to the point of trembling. She could feel the intense and surging affection.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he might have been able to execute her on the spot.
He seemed to be on the verge of losing control.
What happened to him during the time they were apart? Qiao Xi was very curious.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and felt her mouth was dry.
She only dared to peek at his expression from the corner of her eyes, afraid that if she met his gaze she would be burned to ashes. The palm holding his hand was scorching hot.
Her heart was beating very fast.
Just as the two walked down the spiral staircase, Zhong Shao and Xiang Mingzhu came over. Qiao Xi tried hard to control the fluttering of her heart and her expression was a little cold.
