Chapter 618 You cried for him last night
Qiao Xi pulled out a contract with some scribbled handwriting on the back.
It looked like a draft they had discussed, not a formal contract. It simply contained a few brief comments on the contract terms, written in Huo Xingzhou's handwriting and another unfamiliar handwriting.
She could naturally recognize Huo Xingzhou's handwriting, and even her recent handwriting was somewhat developing in his direction.
As for the other unfamiliar font, it should be written by Zhong Yi.
Qiao Xi carefully read a few lines of the contract, examining the details of the strokes, but could not make out any clues.
I heard that some people's handwriting appears to have changed, but in fact the strength they put into the pen is the same, and you can identify it from these details.
It seems that we need to find a professional to identify it.
Qiao Xi took out her phone and took some photos, planning to find a professional to appraise them. The Liu family was in this kind of business, so she hesitated for a moment and sent the photos to Xu Xiuyuan, asking him to help find someone to appraise them.
Two sets of photos of the medical book and the contract were sent one after another, and instructions were given that the news must not be leaked.
Xu Xiuyuan was very happy. He envied Xu Yunye for being able to help Qiao Xi with the source of Chinese medicinal materials, while he, as the eldest in the family, could not contribute. The elders all looked down on him.
Now that Qiao Xi actually took the initiative to ask him for help, he felt quite excited.
The two sets of photos were immediately sent to the most professional handwriting identification master of the Liu family for identification. Those masters were all experts in identifying antique calligraphy and paintings, so this was just a piece of cake.
Qiao Xi pressed the button on her cell phone, and the screen went black, reflecting her face.
call.
She exhaled slowly, sorted out all the contracts and put them back in the drawer of her desk.
There were footsteps in the corridor, getting closer and closer.
Qiao Xi turned around and saw the study door was pushed open, and Lao Chen and Huo Xingzhou were walking in. They were both surprised to see her in the study.
Qiao Xi turned around and looked at him, her throat slightly tightened: "Why did you come back this afternoon?"
"I came back after I almost finished my work." Huo Xingzhou walked to her side and asked with his head down, "What were you doing in the study? Didn't you go to rest?"
Qiao Xi shook her head, her fingers clenched as she touched the medical book and said, "I'll find a book."
She didn't want to tell the real reason.
Because she felt that Huo Xingzhou was hiding something from her, and that secret might be about Zhong Yi's identity.
She seemed to be getting close to the truth.
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou replied in a low voice, "Old Chen, please go out first. I'll investigate the matter I asked you to do. Don't let any news leak out until the truth is revealed."
Old Chen glanced at Qiao Xi, then said, "Okay."
The young master must have been afraid that the young lady would worry, so he didn't say it directly when he saw her here. If he mentioned Mr. Cheng... the young lady would definitely not be so calm.
"Master, I'll be out first. Tell me if you have anything else."
Old Chen walked out of the study and closed the door behind him.
The study suddenly became quiet. The wind blew the thin curtains, and the light that came in swayed a few times.
The light and shadow cast on the side of Huo Xingzhou's nose made it look more three-dimensional.
He was silent for a moment before saying, "This morning... I lost control." He took out a tube of ointment from his suit pocket and handed it to her.
It's just the right ointment for the condition.
Qiao Xi's throat was dry and her cheeks were a little red.
"I...it's not serious, so I don't need any ointment. I'll just need to rest for a few days..."
Huo Xingzhou didn't force her to accept it, but simply said, "I'll apply the medicine for you tonight."
Qiao Xi felt as if she was in a sea of fire, burning hot.
She quickly pulled the ointment and said, "I'll do it myself."
Huo Xingzhou took two steps closer, put his arm around her waist and said, "Qiao Xi, you were drunk and crazy last night. You used to be quite well-behaved when you were drunk, and even when you were drunk and crazy, you were still quite cute. But you cried a lot last night."
"You..." Qiao Xi raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes looking at him, "Didn't you say that I fell asleep last night and didn't do anything?"
"Because I didn't want to talk about it in the morning, I calmed down during the day."
Qiao Xi looked at him and asked, "Then why did I cry last night?"
Qiao Xi racked her brains but couldn't think of those scenes, but looking at Huo Xingzhou's expression and tone, she could guess that her drunken words must have irritated this man.
He lowered his head, his eyes looking deeply into hers, as if wanting to see her true self.
He gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips and said, "You cried and called for grandma last night, saying you missed her. Then you said you missed Yi. You can't let go of these two people...."
He was jealous of Zhong Yi.
Because he knew best that her "Ayi" was still alive.
Perhaps it was the provocative words Zhong Yi said that made him feel a sense of crisis, which he could not ignore subconsciously.
As soon as Qiao Xi heard the word Ayi, she understood why Huo Xingzhou had such a big reaction.
She might not have just called out "Ayi's" name, she must have said something else.
"Feel sorry."
Qiao Xi bit her lip. She was distracted by the details she discovered at the engagement party. That's why she drank so much. She had promised Huo Xingzhou that she would drink less.
She broke her promise.
"I'm sorry, I will try not to drink alcohol outside in the future, and I won't drink alcoholic beverages." Qiao Xi felt guilty.
Huo Xingzhou rubbed her head and said, "I don't mean to blame you. I just couldn't control my emotions for a moment. I should also say sorry to you for what happened this morning."
Qiao Xi shook her head and said, "I still have to explain to you that I have always felt guilty towards Ayi. He is my best friend, and I really can't forget him. If you want me to completely eliminate all traces of him from my heart, it is impossible. I am attached to many people, but I only love you."
She only gave her love to Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou whispered, "I believe you, but men's jealousy is so unreasonable."
"So you get jealous too."
She had a faint smile on her face, and thought that he was very calm and confident in everything he did.
"I'm also a human being, with emotions and desires." Huo Xingzhou's fingertips gently stroked her waist. "My beauty salon is opening soon. Do you need any help?"
Speaking of the beauty salon, Qiao Xi looked up and said, "Young Master Sun and Jiaojiao have done a great job with the beauty salon. Everything is ready. All that's left is the final finishing touches, and then we can pick an auspicious day to open it."
"Okay, I'll go to the opening ceremony."
Huo Xingzhou said in a gentle tone.
Qiao Xi nodded: "I will definitely arrange a ribbon-cutting ceremony for you when the time comes. We..."
Before she could finish her words, she felt Huo Xingzhou's phone vibrate.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and said, "You go ahead and do your work. We'll talk about it later if there's anything. I'll go downstairs to see if Jiaojiao has come back. She's been out for most of the day."
Huo Xingzhou took out his cell phone and saw the number displayed on the screen. His eyes flashed slightly and he nodded.
He didn't answer the phone until Qiao Xi left the study.
