Chapter 205 Mr. Huo, Let’s Divorce
Qiao Xi lowered her head and read every word carefully. Her hands were gripping the paper, her knuckles white.
Huo Jiancheng said helplessly: "Ten years ago, on the night Xingluo saved Xingzhou. While they were in a coma, Xu Guangyao and I agreed to a marriage between the Xu family and the second branch of the Huo family. The signatures and fingerprints were also notarized. At the beginning, I thought they would definitely be together when they grew up, and a marriage between the second branch of the Huo family and the Xu family would be beneficial. But I didn't expect..."
After a car accident, Xu Xingluo went abroad.
"Qiao Xi, the Xu family now wants me to fulfill my promise. Otherwise, I'll lose half of Xingzhou's wealth..."
Qiao Xi's hands were shaking.
It is clearly written above that the Huo family voluntarily entered into the marriage in order to repay the favor of saving their lives. If they regretted it, they would divide the property according to the divorce procedure and take half of the other party's wealth.
Half of Huo Xingzhou's wealth comes from Tianyuan Group.
Xu Guangyao has a great idea!
Huo Jiancheng rubbed his solar plexus and said, "I now realize that I was tricked by Xu Guangyao. My child has lofty ambitions. He founded Tianyuan single-handedly. But now the Xu family has put out an agreement, saying that either we get married or we divide the property."
He didn't dare tell his family.
I can only endure it all silently.
Qiao Xi thought this was ridiculous: "Then when the car accident happened, why didn't you take out this agreement and ask Xu Xingluo to get married?"
"I... I think Xingzhou will never wake up, and I can't ruin Xingluo's life." Huo Jiancheng said guiltily.
Oh.
Turns out he's just a pushover.
Qiao Xi felt unhappy and said, "Why should I pay for your mistakes?"
Huo Jiancheng looked at her and said, "Do you hope that the boat will fall from the clouds and everyone will step on it?"
Qiao Xi clenched her palms tightly.
A feeling of sourness and grievance that she had never felt before suddenly rushed into her nose.
Why!
Even Huo Jiancheng had to take advantage of her soft heart.
"Qiao Xi, I hope you don't tell anyone else about this. You don't want the father-son relationship between Xingzhou and me to break down, do you? Dujuan and Jiaojiao are both impulsive people, and this family will fall apart."
Qiao Xi felt her eyes swell up and burn. She smiled with red eyes and said, "Your family can't be broken up, but mine can be broken up? You knew about what happened that night at the Jinling Hotel, right?"
Huo Jiancheng felt a pang of pain in his heart.
He lowered his head guiltily and said, "I'm sorry. I had no choice but to drug Xingzhou that night. Afterwards, he and Xingluo left one after another and didn't come back all night. I... I wanted to..."
So that's how it is.
Mr. Huo was drugged.
Qiao Xi covered her chest with her hands, enduring the pain that was spreading from her heart.
She had been thinking about it these past few days, it would be fine if he just explained it to her.
As long as he said it was fake, she would believe it.
But I never expected...
He was not rekindling his old love with Xu Xingluo.
He spent the night with Xu Xingluo.
It was a night of helplessness, difficulty in speaking about it and extreme humiliation.
How could a man as proud and bright as him say that?
How could she bear to expose his scars?
The resentment that Qiao Xi felt towards Huo Xingzhou suddenly dissipated.
She felt more deeply the fickleness of fate and the tricks it played on her.
Why did he take away the person she loved most?
Her heart felt like it was burned by fire.
She looked at Huo Jiancheng, forbearing yet angry, and said, "You are his father! How much harm will it do to him if you help outsiders plot against him?"
"My father died young, and I always imagined how happy I would be if I had a father by my side growing up. But you made me realize that not all fathers are selfless towards their children. You punished your only son with your cowardice."
Qiao Xi threw the paper in his face: "I am under your control, but you have also lost his trust."
She turned around.
Tears rolled down.
She seemed to have finally brought a beautiful dream to an end. She woke up from the sweet dream and saw the cruelty of the chaotic reality.
finally.
Heart-wrenching.
Completely bruised and battered.
I lost the last bit of hope in my heart.
Qiao Xi returned to the villa in a daze. Before entering the house, she took a deep breath and tried hard to hold back her tears.
We can't let Aunt Qian find out.
After entering the living room, she found that Aunt Qian was not at home. She might have gone out to dance in the square. She heard a sound coming from the swimming pool in the backyard, and she slowly walked towards the backyard.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines down.
The man's back muscles were smooth and tight, and he looked like a nimble whale entering the water.
The water droplets on his body were shining.
Qiao Xi looked at him quietly and didn't come any closer.
The moments of their past interactions flashed through her mind.
Thinking about how he taught her to swim, enrolled her in a driving school, and opened a clinic for her. He taught her how to behave and protected her. Although it was the Su family who asked her to marry in place of him, the second branch of the Huo family didn't take any anger out on her.
She was respected by him as his wife and loved by Dujuan as his daughter.
Qiao Xi took a deep breath, and the air she inhaled felt like it was cutting her throat.
She suddenly remembered a book she had read before: The highest level of love a man can have for a woman is to teach her social survival skills and provide her with resources and help. Even if she leaves him one day, she can still be independent and live a decent life.
He did a great job.
Gentleman and noble.
The only thing is that there is a variable between them, Xu Xingluo.
And there was also the ten-year marriage contract that he had never known about.
If she spoke out, it would hurt their father-son relationship, and Du Juan and Huo Sijiao would probably stand on her side. And the Huo family's second branch might break up.
Qiao Xi was in a difficult situation and was struggling.
My heart is full of pain.
The sound of the pool water subsided for a moment, and the man paused to look at her on the shore, his slender fingers casually stroking her water-stained hair. His dark eyes stared at her, a gentle and tender look at the corners of his eyes.
"How long have you been here?"
He asked while in the water, looking up.
The halo of sunlight fell on him like a filter.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips and took a step forward. With no relief from the pent-up frustration in her heart, she slowly stretched out her arms and jumped into the water.
The expected pain did not come.
She leaped into the man's arms, and he held her firmly. His strong arms wrapped around her waist, half her body submerged in the water. She opened her eyes and met the deep pool's gaze.
Her eyes were red.
Qiao Xi put her arms around his neck and kissed his thin lips.
She always felt that she had to do something, even if there was no result.
She kissed him hard, passionately and desperately, regardless of rules. Her gaze was focused and scorching. A thin layer of mist covered her eyes, making them look even clearer and darker.
She almost exhausted all her courage in her life to fall in love with a man, and then with that love so strong that it was about to overflow from her heart, she decided to leave him.
The fire burned.
Only a layer of ash remained.
She distanced herself from Huo Xingzhou and said softly, "Mr. Huo, let's get a divorce."
