Chapter 392 They Don’t Love You, I Prefer You
After a long time.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at the man beside her: "You asked me to watch the Liu family's press conference live?"
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou responded, raised his hand to tuck the loose hair behind her ears and said, "After the birthday party, your relationship with the Liu family could no longer be hidden. I originally wanted to take it slow, but I didn't expect someone to deliberately stir up trouble and smear the image of the Liu family's real daughter.
People's stereotypes are very serious. If you allow rumors to spread, they will later think that you are a bad person too."
Qiao Xi looked at him with clear eyes: "Then let them say what they want. Those people don't understand me and have no idea what kind of person I am."
"But I can't bear to see them judge you like that. You're such a good person, and I don't want the mastermind behind this to succeed."
Qiao Xi was delighted by his coaxing: "Is there someone behind this? Who is it?"
"To Mingzhu."
Huo Xingzhou said softly, "But her purpose is very simple, she wants to make you feel uncomfortable and alienate the relationship between you and the Liu family."
"It's really a bit disgusting. I always feel that the relationship between her and Master Zhong is very strange. They seem close but also distant. It was Master Zhong who forced her to apologize to me yesterday, but is Master Zhong really doing this for cooperation?" Qiao Xi frowned.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her and thought, of course not.
Zhong Yi wanted to get back at her expense, but Xiang Mingzhu was probably being played around with.
But Huo Xingzhou wouldn't tell Qiao Xi everything, only saying, "The situation online isn't serious. As soon as there was a hint of something, the Liu family cut it off. They acted very quickly this time."
Qiao Xi asked, "Are you speaking well of the Liu family?"
Huo Xingzhou laughed and said, "Actually, for the preliminary round of the needle testing competition, Old Madam Liu personally visited many seniors. She hoped that they would compete fairly and there would be absolutely no manipulation. The Liu family is worried that you would suffer a loss."
A look of surprise flashed across Qiao Xi's face.
She doesn't know about this.
"Qiao Xi, I know what you care about most."
He grasped her slender white fingers and said, "Do you mind that Liu Huimin doted on Xu Xingluo for so many years and she's dealing with you for her? I know my little genius doctor wants favoritism the most. He doesn't want people or things that have been handled by others."
"They don't favor you, I favor you."
Qiao Xi sat beside him and suddenly leaned in and kissed him on his thin lips, "Yes, I look weak and uncompetitive, but I am extremely domineering."
A low, faint laugh escaped from Huo Xingzhou's throat, and he took the initiative.
He pushed her against the French window and kissed her passionately.
The evening sunlight was gentle, enveloping the couple in a flickering glow. Qiao Xi's hands were held tightly, clasped against the glass, warmed by the sunlight; her back felt warm.
The heart is sweet.
Breathing rapidly, she said with difficulty: "This is the office."
Huo Xingzhou used to be extremely restrained at the company, and even if he lost control, he would never go this far. Today, he showed no intention of stopping.
His voice was slightly hoarse. “I don’t have any plans this afternoon, so I installed a new lounge in the office.”
"Can……"
Qiao Xi searched hard and found a door cabinet next to the antique display case. It was integrated with the display case, almost like an invisible door. This lounge was probably converted from the unused office next door.
It’s so hidden!
She didn't notice it when she came here before.
"When did you... ask someone to change it?" Her voice trembled.
"The lounge was renovated some time ago."
His eyes were dark and his brows were lowered.
There was a hint of affection between his brows, and his voice was slow: "I started thinking about it last night."
yesterday.
When he knew she was his savior.
The principles he adhered to were almost broken for her.
What forbearance!
What restraint!
What an occasion!
He was afraid that he would not be able to control the surging emotions in his heart in a short period of time.
"Qiao Xi, you have no reason to stop me from marrying you."
I will repay you with my life for saving my life.
Promise every day, promise every night.
…
Bang!
In a luxury suite in a five-star hotel in Haicheng.
A glass was thrown in front of the TV cabinet, shattering into pieces. Even the LCD screen of the TV was cracked at one corner.
Xiang Mingzhu had a gloomy face.
That beautiful face was full of hostility.
"Qiao Xi, you're lucky!"
Xiang Mingzhu has been brooding over the results of the preliminary selection of the needle testing conference. Last night, she unexpectedly heard about Qiao Xi's life story, and she was even more jealous!
Liu Huimin's daughter!
This is so valuable!
She scolded Qiao Xi for being of humble origin, and then she was slapped in the face. The slap was so painful!
In order to cooperate with Tianyuan Group, Mr. Zhong actually asked her to apologize. Xiang Mingzhu apologized reluctantly and did not sleep all night when she returned to the hotel!
So she impulsively found someone to stir up trouble online in the middle of the night. She wanted to alienate the relationship between Qiao Xi and the Liu family.
It was clear from yesterday's banquet that Qiao Xi and the Liu family had a very special relationship, and they definitely didn't seem like a family. Add to that the evil things Xu Xingluo had done before.
Xiang Mingzhu was sure that Qiao Xi had definitely not forgiven the Liu family!
Then she added fuel to the fire!
I didn't expect that the Liu family would actually hold a press conference and humbly carry the sedan chair for Qiao Xi!
Is this still a top powerful and wealthy family?
For the sake of Qiao Xi, even the head of the family expressed his stance. His attitude was so low!
Bang!
He threw another set of tea set at Mingzhu.
Knock knock.
The hotel room doorbell rang.
"Who is it?"
Xiang Mingzhu shouted angrily, walked over in her slippers and opened the door.
"police."
Two police officers in professional attire looked at her and said, "Excuse me, Ms. Xiang Mingzhu? We've received a report alleging you've bribed online trolls to stir up trouble and damage the reputation of others. Could you please come with us for an investigation?"
"What?"
Xiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "You're mistaken, I didn't do such a thing."
"We will make the judgment. Now please come with us. We will not slander an innocent person casually." The police officer from Haicheng was unmoved and was not afraid of Xiang Mingzhu's identity.
After all, they were very decisive in capturing Xiang Huai.
Xiang Mingzhu never thought that bribing internet trolls would lead to her being sent to jail.
When she was in the imperial capital, even if she injured someone, she could reconcile afterwards, and no one would deny the Xiang family face.
Who would really take it seriously when trying to stir up trouble online?
The Liu family was eager to protect Qiao Xi, so they did something real!
Xiang Mingzhu was taken away directly!
Finally, after three days of investigation, he was detained and paid a fine.
…
the next day.
Haicheng was covered in continuous rain, and the temperature dropped a bit. The dust in the air was washed away by the rain, and even my mood was not so impetuous.
8:30 in the morning.
Qiao Xi arrived at the hospital entrance on time and saw a group of people joining in the fun.
Just as she got out of the car and tried to walk around them, she heard the nurse who was watching the fun mention Nurse Shu.
Qiao Xi stopped and leaned over to look.
Saw a man and a woman.
