Chapter 219 You Don’t Have to Forgive Him
Huo Xingzhou got off the car first.
Qiao Xi followed him without saying a word. The two of them walked in one after the other. Qiao Xi saw the people sitting in the living room and reacted.
The whole family knew that she had filed for divorce.
"Qiao Xi, please sit down. Aunt Qian, please bring over the cassava sweet soup you made." Du Juan called out, and she affectionately pulled Qiao Xi to sit next to her.
He was very friendly and wanted to praise Qiao Xi to the sky.
"Sister-in-law, are you tired? I'll take you to a health spa for a SPA tomorrow." Huo Sijiao placed a plate of Sunshine Rose in front of her. "Eat more fruit. I remember that sister-in-law really likes it."
She smiled brightly and in a flattering manner.
There was no Huo Xingzhou in their eyes at all.
Huo Xingzhou sat on the other side of the sofa. Huo Jiancheng glanced at him and achieved a strange balance in his heart.
It turns out that he is not the only one who is not welcome.
"Young Madam, the cassava ball sweet soup is here." Aunt Qian walked to Qiao Xi with a porcelain bowl and placed a cup of honey water in front of Huo Xingzhou.
"Master, drinking some honey water is good for your stomach."
It is best to drink a glass of honey water after drinking alcohol, which will make you feel much more comfortable.
Qiao Xi took the porcelain bowl and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qian."
"We're family, so don't be polite." Aunt Qian said with a smile, "Young Madam, please try some. You must be hungry since you didn't have dinner. I'll go to the kitchen and cook two dishes. Please bear with me."
Qiao Xi took a sip of the sweet soup and glanced at Huo Xingzhou who was sitting opposite her.
She was a little overwhelmed, not knowing what would happen next or how to deal with it.
The soft and sticky sweet potato was smeared between her lips and teeth, and a sweet taste slid down her throat, making her feel a little better.
Du Juan looked at her and said, "Qiao Xi, we have something to apologize to you for. Your father-in-law is a mess in his head and does things that are not righteous. We already know about the stupid things he did!"
She glared at Huo Jiancheng with disappointment.
There was a flash of surprise in Qiao Xi's eyes. She looked at the man with his hands on the edge of the sofa and found that his expression had not changed at all.
Mr. Huo has known about the existence of that agreement for a long time?
Was that incident at the Civil Affairs Bureau all a joke on her?
What is he thinking?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Qiao Xi's mind.
She filed for divorce so impulsively!
"Sister-in-law, I also know the contents of the agreement. My brother said he could solve it, but I also found a loophole. The agreement states that the Xu family and the Huo family's second branch will marry, and I am also from the second branch! At worst, I can marry Xu Xiuyuan or Xu Yunye, and you and my brother don't have to divorce."
Huo Sijiao said loudly.
"Jiaojiao, you don't have to sacrifice your own happiness."
Qiao Xi looked at her and said with a sour feeling in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, I only recognize you as my sister-in-law. Xu Xingluo is nothing, please don't divorce my brother, okay? Although he is arrogant and has a cold personality, he is a good husband."
Huo Sijiao was still trying her best to speak well of Huo Xingzhou, "My brother and my dad are absolutely different!"
Huo Jiancheng felt like he was shot in the heart.
He no longer has any status in this family. Even the poodle at home is more noble than him.
"Qiao Xi."
Huo Jiancheng said awkwardly, "I apologize to you. I used you as an example to make myself feel better. I take back what I said. You and Xingzhou should live a good life. From now on, we elders will never interfere with you."
Qiao Xi listened to his words, but didn't feel relieved so quickly.
The words you said and the things you did will only stick in your heart like a knife. Even if you pull it out, it will still leave a mark of hurt.
She already had a prejudice against Huo Jiancheng.
Du Juan understood her dilemma and said, "Qiao Xi, you don't have to forgive him. Just treat him like a piece of shit and let him go."
Qiao Xi's lips curled up, and she was amused by her.
"Sister-in-law, you and my brother must be fine."
Huo Sijiao looked at her expectantly, "I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow."
Qiao Xi nodded.
Du Juan stood up and said, "Qiao Xi, being able to become a couple requires even greater luck. It's fate that you married into our family. So I hope you can treat this marriage well."
"We're leaving first. You two should hurry up and have dinner."
She had deliberately left them space.
Now that the matter has been explained clearly, it depends on what Qiao Xi decides.
Anyway, their second wife will never force the young couple to divorce, so that agreement means nothing.
Qiao Xi stood up and said, "Mom, I'll take you out."
"good."
Dujuan was much happier when she heard that she was still willing to call her "Mom".
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you to see the colorful world tomorrow."
Du Juan glanced at her and said, "Your sister-in-law is different from you. You love to play the most."
"Mom." Huo Sijiao called out coquettishly, "Save some face for me in front of my sister-in-law."
"Okay, hurry up and get in the car. Qiao Xi, don't see me off. Xingzhou is waiting for you inside for dinner."
"goodbye."
Qiao Xi waved and saw the family of three off.
She took a deep breath and turned to go into the villa.
The huge living room suddenly became much quieter, and Huo Xingzhou was no longer on the sofa.
Aunt Qian brought the pork rib soup to the table and said, "Young Madam, I skimmed off the fat from this pork rib soup. Can I serve you a bowl?"
"Thank you, Aunt Qian."
Qiao Xi had no appetite, so she couldn't help but ask, "Where did Mr. Huo go?"
"The young master said he wasn't hungry and went to the study to take care of some business. I see he's been very busy lately. Old Chen said he rushed back from a cocktail party this afternoon and drank quite a bit. He looked very bad, and I'm very worried."
Aunt Qian said this deliberately, "Madam, the young master used to have a lot of social engagements. His stomach has always been bad, and sometimes he doesn't eat on time. He was once admitted to the hospital because of stomach problems."
A hint of worry appeared in Qiao Xi's eyes.
He'd been in a car accident, and his health really needed to be improved. He'd been warned not to drink too much, but in the business world, it was inevitable.
Aunt Qian suggested, "How about I serve some soup and you bring it up?"
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Sooner or later, you will have to face Mr. Huo.
She went upstairs carrying a bowl of pork rib soup and a stack of yam cakes and gently knocked on Huo Xingzhou's study door.
There was no movement inside.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, thinking that he might be angry with her.
"Mr. Huo, Aunt Qian asked me to bring you some food. Can I come in?"
There were faint sounds coming from inside the room.
Qiao Xi waited for a while, thought about it, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
The man sitting at his desk clutched his left abdomen with one hand, his hair on his forehead damp with sweat. His eyelashes, moistened and darker, appeared even darker. His face was pale, his thin lips tightly pursed, straining to contain the pain.
"Mr. Huo, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Xi quickly put down the tray, walked to his side, pinched his wrist and started taking his pulse.
Huo Xingzhou dodged her hand and was very distant.
