Chapter 385 My Wife is Especially Clingy
“Send it to my company.”
Qiao Xi was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she clicked on it and listened to his voice message again to confirm that it was Huo Xingzhou who asked him to deliver Mr. Zhong's gift to the company.
"Aunt Qian, I'm going to Tianyuan Group. Could you please pack these things for me?"
After she finished speaking, she collected the gifts from Shu Xue and Huo Sijiao and hurriedly put them in the bedroom on the second floor.
Then he took the rosewood box given by Master Zhong and prepared to go out.
Aunt Qian quickly asked, "Young Madam, you're not having lunch?"
"I'll go to the company to eat."
She had a bowl of red bean and dumpling soup to fill her stomach, so she wasn't hungry for the time being.
Lao Chen prepared the car and waited for her at the door.
Qiao Xi got in the car directly: "Let's go to Tianyuan Group."
"Okay, young lady."
Old Chen turned the car around, stepped on the accelerator and drove to the company. Qiao Xi lowered her head and scrolled through the pages on her phone, and all that popped up were links to gossip news that Huo Sijiao had sent her.
For example, Xu Xingluo, once the most famous socialite in Haicheng, died.
The real life story of Princess Liu was also exposed. It turned out that she was an apprentice of the national doctor!
Qiao Xi clicked in and took a look around.
Many people in Haicheng were discussing this matter, saying that she was lucky and that it was a coincidence.
Huo Sijiao called directly. When Qiao Xi picked up the phone, she heard her chattering voice: "Sister-in-law, if anyone dares to call you a country girl who is not worthy of being on the stage, I will twist their heads off. Those who gossip about you behind your back are scared to death."
"The Liu family's tiger skin is quite intimidating. Sister-in-law, please don't recognize them easily. When I think of what Ms. Liu did to you, I get angry. The others are okay."
Qiao Xi laughed and said, "I understand."
"Sister-in-law, Xu Xingluo died last night. Did you know about this?" Huo Sijiao asked in a low voice.
Qiao Xi put away the smile on her face and said, "I know. I heard the news last night."
I was originally wondering how the Liu family would punish Xu Xingluo, but I didn't expect her to end her own life.
Huo Sijiao sighed, "I really didn't expect her to end up like this. We played together when we were little. But this can be considered retribution. She did so many evil things, and it's normal for her to be unable to withstand the fall from such a height. Sister-in-law, please don't feel bad. My brother will definitely not remember the day she died."
As soon as I saw the date Xu Xingluo picked, I knew she had no good intentions.
"Thank you, Jiaojiao. Your brother already told me last night that I won't mind. Xu Xingluo is not that important to me."
Most importantly, she learned the truth of ten years ago.
That boy is him.
That kind of fateful surprise.
He said many sweet words to her and whispered sweet nothings to her, making her feel like she was in a sweet dream all night.
Those were explicit words that Huo Xingzhou would never say under normal circumstances.
Qiao Xi didn't want to waste her time on irrelevant people.
Huo Sijiao said, "That's good! Sister-in-law, I remember the person who helped you in the needle trial meeting was called Shen Xuanzhi, right?" Her tone was a little hesitant.
Hearing her mention Shen Xuanzhi, Qiao Xi was a little curious: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Huo Sijiao said a few words and then hung up the phone. Qiao Xi didn't take it to heart. She naturally didn't know that the two had been involved for a long time.
The car soon arrived at the gate of Tianyuan Group.
Old Chen opened the car door for Qiao Xi. "Madam, I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot. If you need a car, just give me a call."
"Okay, I probably won't be home for lunch, so remember to go eat by yourself and don't just wait for me."
"I know, thank you for your understanding, Madam."
Old Chen said with a smile.
The host he met was not arrogant and was very kind.
Qiao Xi slowly walked into the company lobby holding the rosewood box. The receptionist was very enthusiastic when she saw her: "Mrs. Huo is here! Mr. Huo is in the conference room and told you to just go up."
"Thanks."
Qiao Xi took the elevator up.
…
In the small conference room on the first floor of the President's Office.
Huo Xingzhou and Zhou Yu sat on one side, facing Zhong Shao and his assistant Wan Jiang. Today's main task was to finalize the Future City project. Tianyuan Group had already provided a sufficiently detailed project plan, and as soon as the funds were in place, they could immediately assemble a team and begin construction.
"Master Zhong, haven't you considered it yet?"
Huo Xingzhou asked calmly. He glanced at the phone on the conference table, and the screen did not light up again.
Zhong Yi laughed. "It's such a big deal, and you're asking me to finalize it overnight. That's really asking too much. Besides, Mr. Huo wasn't paying close attention when discussing the project with me. You've already stared at that phone at least ten times. What on earth has captured your attention?"
Huo Xingzhou casually picked up his phone and twirled it around with his fingers. "Mr. Zhong certainly doesn't understand how it feels to have a family and worry about everything. My wife is very clingy."
Zhong Yi clenched her fingers and smiled at him, "I didn't expect Mr. Huo to be so sentimental."
"certainly."
Huo Xingzhou said with a proud look, "She saved me twice. My life belongs to her. I always love her more. Maybe you will understand after Young Master Zhong gets married. However, not everyone can meet the person they truly love. The marriage between the Zhong and Lu families is probably just a formality. Young Master Zhong will never experience this feeling in his lifetime."
"No."
Zhong Yi felt a sour taste in her heart, and refused to give in to Huo Xingzhou. "I've loved before, even before President Huo. The innocence and beauty of young Mu Ai are more enchanting and desirable than the forced marriage of adults forced by their own interests."
He was talking about Qiao Xi being forced to marry Huo Xingzhou for good luck, a blind marriage.
Zhou Yu and Wan Jiang looked at each other. It was obvious that the two were discussing business.
Why did you start arguing about falling in love?
Is it about who has a more advanced relationship?
But Zhou Yu paid attention to Huo Xingzhou's words and asked, "Didn't Qiao Xi save you once? Why twice?"
Huo Xingzhou's eyes were deep as he looked at Zhong Yi and said, "Ten years ago, during the avalanche, it was Qiao Xi who saved me, not Xu Xingluo."
Zhou Yu opened his mouth in surprise!
After a while, he cursed a dirty word!
"Huo Xingzhou, you are God's biological son, right? How did you get so lucky? This is God giving you a wife for free. It takes a hundred years to be able to ride on the same boat, and a thousand years to sleep on the same pillow. How many lifetimes do you have to be together?"
Zhou Yu was so envious that he almost got red eyes!
He really didn't expect it.
"No wonder you were so upset last night. It turns out you picked up on something from Xu Xingluo's words." Zhou Yu, who was sometimes careless with his words, teased, "You still have dark circles under your eyes. Did you... stay up until dawn last night?"
"Ahem."
Wan Jiang covered his mouth and coughed hard.
Zhou Yu looked at them with an apologetic look on his face. "I'm used to joking, please don't mind. While Huo Er and I are talking, you two should also consider whether you want to sign the project."
Wan Jiang took a sip of tea to cover up his mistake. Their Master Zhong's face turned pale. This Mr. Zhou really didn't know how to restrain himself.
He took a closer look at Mr. Huo, and sure enough, his eyes were slightly blue, showing that he had been staying up late.
But he is in very good spirits.
Happy things happen to people.
