Chapter 586 Did Qiao Xi hear those words?
Xie Xubai said slowly: "There's nothing wrong with liking someone as long as it doesn't hurt others."
Huo Sijiao looked at him.
Under the moonlight.
The man was tall and slender, and suddenly he was a little dazzled.
She suddenly thought of the poems she had read in school.
The piled stones are like jade, and the green trees are like pines.
When I think of a gentleman, he is as gentle as jade. In his wooden house, he disturbs my heart.
Huo Sijiao said softly, "Thank you."
The discomfort in her heart suddenly eased because of these words. Shen Xuanzhi's disgust was the biggest setback in her twenty-three years of life.
It almost made her unable to face it and caused her to doubt herself.
She walked slowly into the villa.
“Huh!”
Ning Yuan behind him made a disgusting cry, "Xie Xubai, are you possessed by a ghost? There's something wrong with you. Even if you were a heartless and desireless Bodhisattva in the temple, how could you send a girl home?"
"Don't shout, you're disturbing others."
Xie Xubai glanced at him and said, "Go home."
…
Huo Family Garden Villa.
Except Huo Xingzhou, everyone else was in the living room.
Sun Weimeng's eyes were shining, and his whole body exuded a gossipy aura.
As soon as Huo Sijiao entered the door, Qiao Xi stepped forward to support her. Just now, she heard the sound of the car and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Sun Weimeng, who told her not to be a light bulb.
"What happened to your foot?"
"I accidentally sprained it."
"Sit on the sofa, I'll find some medicinal wine to rub on you."
"Young Madam, I'll go find some medicinal wine." Xiao Yuan said enthusiastically, "I can also treat sprains. You can see if my technique is correct later. I can also learn a few moves from you."
As she said that, she went to look for medicinal wine.
Sun Weimeng propped up his chin with one hand, his eyes sizing up Huo Sijiao: "Why didn't you invite her in for a cup of coffee?"
Huo Sijiao glanced at him sideways and spoke without restraint: "You're sick. Who drinks coffee so late at night?"
“Yo!”
Sun Weimeng smiled ambiguously, "Huo Sijiao, what's wrong with you? I heard that this is the first time that the Xie family's eldest female friend is visiting."
Qiao Xi smiled but didn't say anything.
"Nonsense! Sister-in-law, don't listen to his nonsense. Xie Xubai and I are not even ordinary friends. I just drank a little last night and did something stupid. I came here today to apologize and clarify. I didn't expect his family to care so much about his marriage."
Huo Sijiao gritted her teeth, feeling extremely annoyed.
"I don't believe it!" Sun Wei stretched his neck with an expression of disgust. "I saw it all just now. You just turned around and stared at him infatuatedly, like you were reluctant to leave."
"No! I didn't!"
Huo Sijiao wanted to stand up and beat up Sun Wei, "I... I like Shen Xuanzhi! Don't make such jokes, I'm heartbroken."
Her voice sounded a little aggrieved: "Shen Xuanzhi checked out and didn't answer my calls. I have no idea where he went. He said he hated my pestering."
Sun Weimeng felt that he had gone too far when he heard this, and quickly comforted him: "He is unlucky! To say such a thing, let's find a man who is ten thousand times better than him in the future and make him regret it."
Huo Sijiao said softly, "But I don't think anyone is better than him."
Sun Weimeng looked at her unhappily: "Huo Sijiao, you are so useless! Do all young ladies like poor boys?"
"Sun Weimeng, don't you like Guan Jingtan too? We're both equally good, so stop criticizing each other!"
"Huo Sijiao, you..."
"Young Master Sun."
Qiao Xi shouted, stopping Sun Weimeng from continuing to criticize, "Let Jiaojiao take care of the sprain first. Xiaoyuan has been bringing the things here for a long time. We can talk later if you have anything to say."
If people could be persuaded about their feelings, there wouldn't be so many infatuated men and women in the world.
When Sun Weimeng and Huo Sijiao get together, they're like enemies. They'll start arguing after just a few words. But sometimes they'll unite against the outside world.
Sun Weimeng said reluctantly, "Hey, Huo Sijiao. Don't fall in love. I don't want to see you crying."
"No."
Huo Sijiao said proudly, "Sister-in-law, please help me check where I'm hurt."
Qiao Xi gently pinched her ankle, examined it, and then said, "It's nothing serious, just a simple sprain. Rub it with some medicinal wine and it will be fine. You'll be able to walk tomorrow. Don't wear high heels these few days, and rest at home."
"Then I feel relieved."
Qiao Xi glanced at her and hid all her curiosity deep in her heart.
Xiao Yuan stood by and said with a smile: "Young Madam, please take a rest. Your hands must not be tired. I will rub the medicinal wine on the young lady. I know the simplest ones."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Yuan. I'll go upstairs first..."
Qiao Xi thought that Huo Xingzhou hadn't even eaten dinner properly, so she went back to the study to deal with some things. She planned to go to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles and bring it directly to him.
…
In the study.
Huo Xingzhou was sitting at the desk, his laptop showing a video connection.
He listened to Zhou Yu's report opposite him with a calm expression.
Zhou Yu briefly explained all the important business of Tianyuan Group in recent times, and then sent the financial report to him.
"With me here at Tianyuan, you can rest assured and expand your business territory in the imperial capital. With the downfall of the Xiang family, your shares were exchanged for those of the Xie family's Yunqi Group, causing the stock price to soar. But things will get even harder from now on. Those established families in the imperial capital won't let you easily get a piece of the pie."
Zhou Yu was a little worried: "If you join forces with the Xie family, the Pei and Zhong families will definitely not agree. With the relationship between Zhong Yi and Qiao Xi, the Zhong family might be able to ease the situation. But the Pei family has always been low-key, like a dormant beast. If they are enraged, the consequences will be unimaginable..."
"Let them be."
Huo Xingzhou leaned back in his office chair.
Since he wanted to break into the imperial capital, he had already prepared to overcome all difficulties.
Zhou Yu asked again: "What do you think about the marriage between the Lu and Zhong families? The Lu family is related to Grandma Qiao's death. Once they are connected to the Zhong family, it will be difficult to move against them. Do you and Zhong Yi have any plans?"
"No plans. We're even."
The needle trial conference was the last collaboration between the two.
Zhou Yu couldn't help getting angry when he thought of Grandma Qiao's voice, smile and warm hospitality.
The voice also rose: "Is it even now? Is he really going to marry the enemy who killed Grandma Qiao? He used to live in Moon Village..."
Knock knock.
"Xingzhou, I'm coming in."
The study door was pushed open. Qiao Xi lowered her head, concealing the emotion in her eyes, and raised the corners of her mouth to reveal a smile again. She walked to the desk with a bowl of hot noodles and placed it in front of Huo Xingzhou.
I glanced at the screen and saw Zhou Yu's handsome face.
She asked, "Are you in a meeting? Am I disturbing you by coming in?"
Zhou Yu forced a smile and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "How could that be? Huo Er and I were just chatting. We were talking about Shu Xue and me. She went to Africa and didn't call me for a week. I was really worried that she might have fallen in love with someone else."
He was wondering if his voice was too loud just now and whether Qiao Xi heard it.
But if I looked closely at her expression through the camera, there was nothing unusual. If she had really heard those words, she wouldn't have been so calm.
After all, if you like something, it means you like it!
