Chapter 10 She is a lucky star, his lucky star
Wang Fengxian covered her mouth and laughed, "Hurry up and turn up the volume on your phone, or someone won't be able to hear you!"
Huo Beiting pressed the volume button to the maximum and placed the phone in front of Huo Xingzhou.
"Young Master Huo, our Sun family is willing to move our old house to make room for your Future City project." Mr. Sun's voice was deep and resounding throughout the living room.
Huo Beiting had a proud look on his face and looked at the second wife with impunity.
"Mr. Sun, thank you for being willing to..."
"Don't misunderstand, young master! I only agreed to this for the sake of the second branch of the Huo family. Please tell the second young master that I will treat them to dinner when I have time."
Mr. Sun was very busy and hung up the phone without saying much.
Huo Beiting's expression froze and twisted. The eldest wife was extremely shocked and furious. She never expected the Sun family to actually consider Huo Xingzhou's face!
"Oh, you're so shameless!" Huo Sijiao sneered, "Cousin, how much is your face worth?"
"Jiaojiao, how can you talk like that!" Dujuan pretended to be angry and scolded her daughter, but she felt happy in her heart.
Mr. Sun's words were like a loud slap in the face of the eldest wife. They all looked grim, as if a colorful palette had been overturned.
Huo Xingzhou held Qiao Xi's wrist and said coldly, "Thank you, cousin, for finding Doctor Zhuo to treat my legs. I'll give this project to you. Grandpa, we're leaving first..."
"Dad, we'll come see you next time."
The second branch of the Huo family left quickly. The old man of the Huo family was very disappointed and went back to his room without even having dinner.
The bustling living room suddenly became quiet, which was very strange.
Huo Beiting's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth as he said, "I'm going to call Sun Weimeng right now to see what's going on. How dare a nouveau riche tease me?"
When the call was connected, Sun Shao praised Qiao Xi with great enthusiasm and said that Huo Xingzhou had married a good wife. Huo Beiting was so angry that his fingers turned white and he hung up the phone.
Wang Fengxian was anxious: "That village woman, does she have such a skill?"
Huo Beiting sneered, "It's just a coincidence. She's a medical student who hasn't graduated from Haicheng University. If she can't even do first aid, she's a fool! Does mother really think Cheng Han's apprentices are everywhere?"
Wang Fengxian felt relieved. Huo Jianjun, who was sitting next to her, said, "Without the project, the second branch can't compete with you for the inheritance. I heard that the old man wanted to announce the handing over of the Huo family to our first branch at the 70th birthday banquet."
"Really?" Huo Beiting was ecstatic. "Even if the announcement wasn't made, Huo Xingzhou wouldn't live long! Doctor Zhuo is a very sharp knife, capable of killing people without them even noticing."
The father and son smiled at each other, their eyes filled with malicious calculations.
…
In the evening, at the Huo family villa.
When everyone from the second house arrived home, they all looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Du Juan smiled faintly and said, "We lost the project this time, but there's hope for Xingzhou's legs. As long as our family is healthy and safe, that's the best thing. I've arranged for Dr. Zhuo."
"Yes, then we won't fight for the inheritance rights. Health is the most important thing!" Huo Jiancheng has always been indifferent to worldly matters and has no interest in business. "Xingzhou, why would Young Master Sun move the old house for your sake?"
Huo Xingzhou turned his head and glanced at Qiao Xi, his Adam's apple rolling: "When we went out that day, Qiao Xi accidentally saved the unconscious Sun Shao."
"I see. I heard from your mother a long time ago that Qiao Xi was a medical student at Haicheng University. I didn't expect it to be true." Huo Jiancheng nodded, understanding.
Qiao Xi studied medicine, so it was normal for her to have some first aid skills. No one in the second house doubted what a young woman in her early twenties could be capable of.
Du Juan said proudly, "Aunt Qian even praised your massage skills. You used those Chinese herbs to treat Xingzhou's health, right? You're so kind to him."
"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!" Huo Sijiao praised her generously and held her hand tightly.
Qiao Xi forced a smile and deliberately avoided Huo Xingzhou's sight, "It's just good luck."
Huo Xingzhou looked at her with a smile in his eyes. She was a lucky star, his lucky star.
There seemed to be a surge of affection in his eyes. He knew she was uncomfortable and needed to find an opportunity...
"Let's go, I want to sleep with my sister-in-law tonight!"
Huo Sijiao grabbed Qiao Xi and ran upstairs, "Other people have sisters, but I only have a bad-tempered brother!"
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hand to stop it, but caught nothing. He only smelled a faint medicinal fragrance at the tip of his nose.
Du Juan and Huo Jiancheng laughed out loud when they saw this.
"I don't know who wants a divorce right after waking up..." Du Juan joked, "Anyway, your leg can be saved, and your dad and I should move back to give you some private space."
Huo Xingzhou explained helplessly: "Mother, it's not what you think." He just felt it necessary to explain clearly that there needed to be trust between him and Qiao Xi.
Du Juan was about to tease him, but Aunt Qian heard the noise and appeared to save Huo Xingzhou in time.
"Master, Master Zhou is here. He's been waiting in the study for most of the day."
"I'll be right up."
Huo Xingzhou maneuvered his wheelchair out of the living room and took the elevator indoors. Du Juan said with emotion, "We've married a good daughter-in-law."
Aunt Qian chimed in: "I think they're a perfect match! The young lady is prettier than the Xu family..."
"Don't mention that bitch anymore!" Dujuan got a headache when he heard this surname.
"yes."
Aunt Qian swallowed the second half of her words silently. Her young lady was more beautiful!
In the study.
Zhou Yu was boredly flipping through piles of documents. When he heard the door open, he looked up and said, "I almost fell asleep waiting. Was the project really transferred to Huo Beiting?"
Huo Xingzhou closed the door gently, his slender fingers looking cold and white under the light.
"If I don't give it to him, how can I make him proud?"
If you want to destroy a person, you must first make him arrogant.
Zhou Yu crossed his legs and chuckled, "I believe the eldest wife will be crying soon. That project has minefields, and you're eager to get rid of it. That way, Tianyuan Group can reap another penalty."
He gave a thumbs-up and praised: "Huo Xingzhou, you are ruthless! I like it!"
Huo Xingzhou lowered his head, his profile flickering in the light: "I haven't forgotten the car accident." If it weren't for Qiao Xi, he would have lost his legs forever.
Decadent and depraved, mad and out of control.
Zhou Yu leaned closer and said obscenely, "How are you going to repay Qiao Xi's kindness? You can't repay her with your body for now."
Huo Xingzhou glanced at him coldly: "Is all you have in your mind about yellow garbage?"
"There's a rumor going around that the car accident caused you to be infertile. Is that true? Do you still have feelings for your wife?"
Huo Xingzhou's handsome face turned cold when he heard his nonsense.
Seeing his grim expression, Zhou Yu thought he had touched a sore spot, so he quickly slapped his mouth and changed the subject: "Qiao Xi is with you, will her identity be discovered by the eldest wife?"
"Won't."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "The eldest branch is so proud and conceited. Zhuo Feng is their spy. Who would have thought that Cheng Han would accept Qiao Xi as his apprentice?"
Why does this sound like a bit of boasting?
"But she and the Sun family..." At this point, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered how troublesome Huo Xingzhou's legs were. Those experts and academicians couldn't treat them, so who would believe it?
"She's a medical student. What's wrong with saving a few people? I'll protect her identity, and you have to keep this a secret."
Zhou Yu nodded, this is called the darkest place under the lamp.
When he first saw the investigation report, he didn't believe it and checked it several times, fearing that it was wrong.
"Can't you even tell your uncle and aunt? How long do you want to keep this secret from them?"
Huo Xingzhou stroked his sleeves and said, "Hide it until I can stand up."
