Chapter 105 No One Can Slander My People
Xu Xingluo's expression froze on his face and he didn't react for a moment.
She suddenly covered her face and started crying pitifully, "Miss Qiao, how did I offend you? Did Brother Xingzhou save me first and make you unhappy?"
Everyone was also stunned, staring at Qiao Xi and whispering to each other.
Qiao Xi bit her lips tightly, and the taste of rust spread in her mouth.
Xu Xingluo was probably trying to turn the tables. It was dark by the lake, with no surveillance cameras. The guests would believe whatever she said.
She dragged her into the water and poured dirty water on her, forcing her to suffer this loss in silence.
Qiao Xi's eyes turned red, and she pretended to be calm and asked, "You just said it seemed like someone pushed you. We were the only ones standing together at the time. Do you mean that I pushed you?"
Xu Xingluo burst into tears: "No, I didn't mean that."
Xiang Huai taunted him, "The wife of the president of the Tianyuan Group is so vulgar and unpresentable. She hits people over a disagreement. Are you afraid that Xingluo will return and snatch Huo Xingzhou away?"
"After all... everyone present knew who the woman was who was supposed to stand next to Huo Xingzhou."
Qiao Xi's red lips were bloodless, and she clutched her aching abdomen tightly with her hands as she spoke word by word, "I'll only say this once, I didn't push her."
Xiang Huai sneered, "Do you have any evidence to prove your innocence?"
Qiao Xi gritted her teeth and her whole body was cold.
A dry suit jacket with a cool fragrance was draped over her wet body.
Qiao Xi turned her head and saw Huo Xingzhou with a stern expression, holding her hand tightly.
He said in a deep voice: "Whatever the truth is, we just need to find the most famous traceologist in the country and we will find out."
Qiao Xi looked at him blankly, not understanding who he believed in.
Do you think she is lying, or do you not believe what Xu Xingluo said?
Huo Xingzhou immediately ordered his bodyguards to cordon off the scene, not allowing outsiders to destroy the footprints by the lake, and preserving the most original traces.
"No one can slander me at will." Huo Xingzhou looked at Xiang Huai warningly and said.
He bent down and picked up Qiao Xi directly, and his white shirt was stained with mud from her body.
The strong announcement made everyone silent.
Xu Xingluo said softly, "There's no need to mobilize so many troops. Qiao Xi said it wasn't her, so it wasn't her."
In order to prove the innocence of a village girl, he actually wanted to find a trace expert to do an identification.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her coldly and said, "If Qiao Xi pushed you, it would be intentional injury. Don't you mind?"
After he finished speaking, he hugged Qiao Xi and left.
Xu Xingluo covered his chest and had an asthma attack, then fainted from weakness.
"Xingluo!" Xiang Huai exclaimed.
The Liu family's full moon banquet ended in chaos and haste.
The guests returned home excitedly with a lot of gossip in their minds, eager to share it with their friends.
On the way back.
Inside the dimly lit Rolls-Royce, Qiao Xi huddled in a corner. Her clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist as she stared blankly out the window.
The scene where Huo Xingzhou went to rescue Xu Xingluo kept replaying in her mind.
Xiang Huai said that saving Xu Xingluo was Huo Xingzhou's instinct.
How deep must love be to have such an instinct engraved in one's heart?
If Xu Xingluo hadn't been in the car accident, they would have already been engaged. It turned out that the man she loved had also treated others so gently and considerately.
Did they hug? Kiss?
Have you ever been so affectionate and lingering with each other till death?
Tears rolled down her cheeks, but Qiao Xi didn't dare cry out loud.
The car slowly drove up to the small villa. Qiao Xi was the first to open the door, and walked in with a weak step, holding her stomach. The suit jacket scattered on the car seat had dark marks and smelled of rust and blood.
Huo Xingzhou's expression turned serious and he got out of the car.
In the living room, Aunt Qian came up and said in surprise, "Master, why are you and the Young Madam soaked? Is the Liu family's full moon party a pool party?"
Huo Xingzhou was about to go upstairs, but changed his mind and turned around to order: "Aunt Qian, she fell into the water. Go and see if she has any injuries."
When Aunt Qian heard this, her expression became serious.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After giving the order, Huo Xingzhou returned to the master bedroom, changed out of his soaked clothes, and put on loose pajamas. He frowned and looked at the missed call displayed on his phone screen, deleting the call record.
I found Zhou Yu’s number in the address book again and called him.
Zhou Yu picked up the phone in the glamorous club, the loud music vibrating his eardrums, "Hello, Huo Er."
"Contact a traceology expert for me and ask him to investigate something at the Liu family."
When Zhou Yu heard this, he took it seriously.
"Are you really going to look for them? The Liu and Xu families aren't just sitting around doing nothing, so this matter won't be a big deal."
"The show needs to be done well."
Huo Xingzhou was in no mood to talk to him and hung up the phone. Now, Zhou Yu was in no mood to drink and have fun, so he worked with Huo Xingzhou to act all night.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the master bedroom door.
"Come in."
Aunt Qian came in with a bowl of ginger soup and said, "Master, the young mistress is having her period. I made her a bowl of brown sugar ginger tea. Here is the ginger soup for you."
"Are there any wounds on your body?" Huo Xingzhou asked again.
"No."
Aunt Qian observed his demeanor and asked, "Did you and the young mistress have an argument? She didn't even want to talk much and didn't tell me what happened. She just said she accidentally fell into the water."
Aunt Qian guessed that the full moon banquet would definitely not be peaceful, as the Xu family would also be there.
"I understand." Huo Xingzhou said lightly.
"Then why don't you go and take a look?" Aunt Qian tried her best to bring the young couple together, not giving the Xu family any chance.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her and said, "I still have some official business to attend to."
Aunt Qian felt a little disappointed, but she didn't insist. She took the small tray and left the room, thinking about reporting to the wife immediately. That little bitch from abroad had returned to cause trouble, and the whole family had to stand united against it.
Huo Xingzhou rubbed his fingers and stared absentmindedly at the minimalist clock on the wall, which slowly ticked away moment by moment.
In the end, he was defeated by himself. He stood up and opened the door to the master bedroom.
late at night.
On the big bed in the second bedroom.
Qiao Xi closed her eyes tightly, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.
She shivered with pain, a chill seeping through her abdomen. She dreamed again of the dark and chaotic avalanche on the snowy mountain ten years ago, the chaos and turmoil.
Dysmenorrhea was also caused by the cold that entered the body. No matter how I treated it, the root of the disease remained.
That night, the snow collapsed, and she heard almost inaudible cries for help outside the dark cave.
She was kind enough to save the man, but was trapped in the snowy mountains. She was finally brought back to the village unconscious, and her memory of the boy that night became vague.
Qiao Xi suddenly woke up with cold palms.
She stared blankly at the ceiling, her eyes wide open, the palpitations and panic from the nightmare lingering for a long time.
Sudden.
There were footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and her door lock made a slight noise.
