Chapter 226 Xu Xingluo was humiliated, his preference
"Xingluo, serve tea and apologize. Don't forget the rules." Xu Guangyao said calmly.
Xu Xingluo had no choice but to slowly bend down to serve the tea and handed it to Qiao Xi with both hands.
"I'm sorry, Qiao Xi. I hope you can forgive me. I shouldn't have gone against you." She should find an opportunity to get rid of Qiao Xi directly instead of using such petty tricks.
Xu Xingluo felt that this day was the darkest moment in her life.
She wished she could cut Qiao Xi into pieces.
She never imagined that she would experience something even more despair at her birthday party, where she would lose everything.
Qiao Xi lowered her eyelashes and watched her bowing and serving tea with both hands, then suddenly asked.
"Xu Xingluo, does my grandma's death have anything to do with you?"
Xu Xingluo's hands trembled, and the scalding hot tea spilled out. She screamed and broke the teacup.
"Starfall!"
Liu Huimin quickly stood up to protect Xu Xingluo, pressed the box bell and sent someone to buy burn ointment.
She stopped in front of Xu Xingluo, looked at Qiao Xi with a cold face and said, "What does your grandmother's death have to do with us? My precious daughter bowed her head and apologized to you, and you still keep pestering me? Do you really want to make our family restless?
Even Yunye is speaking up for you. You've caused a rift between us, mother and son. Our Xu family can't defeat you, so it's okay to admit defeat, right?
She spoke harshly and looked at him coldly.
Qiao Xi's eyes were calm as she looked at her and said, "Didn't you bring this upon yourselves? If she hadn't felt guilty, how could she have burned her hands?"
Xu Xingluo said weakly, "I was scared by you. Qiao Xi, hasn't the cause of the fire been investigated? Why do you think I..."
She lay in Liu Huimin's arms, sobbing, as if she had suffered a great humiliation.
But Qiao Xi was resentful. Xu Xingluo and Xiang Huai had a close relationship. Who knew if Xu Xingluo had instigated this?
I'm afraid only Xiang Huai knows the truth.
At this time, the door of the box room was pushed open.
The waiter brought the dishes and placed them carefully on the large round table.
"The dishes are all served, please enjoy your meal." The waiters left.
Xu Guangyao tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let's eat first. Huimin, Xingluo, please sit down. I was wrong about this, so I'll drink three cups as punishment. Qiao Xi, I apologize."
Xu Guangyao poured himself three full glasses of red wine and drank them all.
"Tonight's dinner was specially requested by Xingzhou to apologize to you. You two have a really good relationship."
Xu Guangyao's apology was much more sincere than Xu Xingluo's.
Qiao Xi's attention was focused on the words "Xingzhou specifically requested".
He forced Xu Xingluo to come to her and explain what happened that night. The complicated emotions in Qiao Xi's heart almost burst out of her throat.
"Xingzhou, I've already apologized."
Xu Guangyao said, "Can you destroy those photos in your hand? Xingluo is a shy girl. Considering that she saved you ten years ago..."
"Old Chen." Huo Xingzhou interrupted his long speech.
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen took out a USB drive and placed it in front of Xu Guangyao. "The erotic bed photos of Miss Xu and Mr. Xiang are all on the USB drive. There's also a box of printed copies in the trunk of the car. Mr. Xu, do you want me to get them for you?"
Xu Guangyao gritted his teeth and said, "No need."
Since Huo Xingzhou was able to produce a USB flash drive, it meant that he was unwilling to use such means again.
Qiao Xi curled her fingers and looked at Huo Xingzhou with misty almond eyes.
I didn't expect this to happen.
Xu Xingluo and Xiang Huai got together?
It turns out that Mr. Huo used these photos to control the Xu family. No wonder they apologized so obediently.
Her understanding of men has deepened.
No wonder Huo Xingzhou was once so popular in Haicheng and envied by so many people!
She met him when he was at his lowest point, and had never seen him in his brilliant and capable state!
Now, the proud Huo Xingzhou slowly unveiled his mysterious veil in front of her.
The more she understood, the faster her heart beat.
Huo Xingzhou's hands were casually placed on both sides, his neck slightly raised, and the red mole was eye-catching.
He looked calm, but there was a hint of strength around him.
"Uncle Xu, don't hide that agreement anymore. You know very well that you can't do anything to me. You can only try to find loopholes like a rat and deceive these two idiots in my family."
Two idiots?
Huo Jiancheng is one, is there another one?
Qiao Xi's ears felt hot.
There is another one, her.
Xu Guangyao was almost unable to hold back his smile after hearing what he said. He took out the yellowed old agreement and said, "This is what Xingluo got in exchange for saving your life. I didn't expect you to have a new love and forget your old one. In that case..."
"Correction."
Huo Xingzhou interrupted him, his tone tinged with coldness, "I don't have any old love. The engagements were all arranged by our elders. I've already repaid her life-saving grace in the car accident. She's been causing trouble time and time again since then, but I've let her go."
If it were someone else, Huo Xingzhou would have dealt with him long ago.
He was tolerant enough towards Xu Xingluo.
Xu Guangyao swallowed his anger and said, "Okay. As long as you promise not to target our Xu Group in the future and resume the project cooperation between the two companies, I will tear up this agreement!"
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay. But there's one thing: the person in charge of any project that cooperates with Tianyuan Group cannot be Xu Xingluo."
Xu Xingluo's lips trembled and tears as big as beans fell.
He actually wants to avoid suspicion like this!
Why does Qiao Xi receive such favor from him!
He really gave Qiao Xi a lot of face!
Xu Guangyao closed his eyes and said, "Okay, but our agreement must be put on paper. Xingzhou, don't blame me. You're so convoluted and unpredictable. It's really hard to guard against you."
He suffered repeated losses at the hands of Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou nodded: "Old Chen, ask a lawyer to draft a contract and send it over."
"Yes, Master."
After receiving the task, Lao Chen went out to make a phone call.
Huo Xingzhou placed a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in front of Qiao Xi and said, "Eat it."
Qiao Xi looked at him tenderly, picked up the spoon and gently took a sip of the rich soup of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
He unbuttoned his suit and draped his jacket over a mahogany chair. The cuffs of his white shirt were undone and slightly rolled up, and the watch on his wrist shone with a deep, cool light.
The slender white fingers slowly and methodically peeled the excellent quality Macrobrachium rosenbergii.
The meat of Macrobrachium rosenbergii is firm and has a very good taste.
Qiao Xi is particularly fond of it.
Soon, the plate in front of her was filled with crystal red shrimp meat.
She looked up and saw his cold and distant profile.
The guilt in my heart was like the rising tide, layer upon layer, and my eyes were red as if I was about to cry.
Xu Xingluo stared at their actions and she even wanted to kill Qiao Xi!
When had Huo Xingzhou ever condescended to do such a thing for a woman? In the past, no matter how much she begged him, he would not lower his attitude.
The Xu family of three had no appetite at all.
In contrast, Huo Xingzhou and Qiao Xi ate and drank well, as if they really came here to have a good meal.
Xu Guangyao closed his eyes, not wanting to see this terrible scene.
He just hoped that Lao Chen could get the contract done quickly and bring it in so that he could be free sooner!
