Chapter 197 He is going to find Qiao Xi!
Xu Guangyao took two deep puffs of his cigarette and exhaled smoke.
Liu Huimin doesn't like him smoking at home because he has no freedom at all.
"Now, our Xu family and the Huo family are going to completely break off relations. Tianyuan Group's cooperation with us has been suspended. This has touched Huo Xingzhou's sore spot."
"Dad, don't we still have the agreement signed by Huo Jiancheng ten years ago? It has been notarized and will definitely take effect." Xu Xingluo said naively.
Xu Guangyao sneered, "That thing can only fool Huo Jiancheng. Huo Xingzhou is incredibly smart. He'll find a way to deal with it. Even if he has to fulfill the agreement in the end, he can delay it for half a year."
Xu Xingluo's IQ is indeed not that high, and he doesn't understand what Xu Guangyao means.
She had always believed that as long as the agreement existed, she would be able to marry Huo Xingzhou. Even if the two of them became a couple of enemies, it would be better than letting Qiao Xi take advantage.
Xu Guangyao put out his cigarette and threw it aside, frowning and asking, "Did you have anything to do with the fire at Qiao Xi's clinic last night?"
Xu Xingluo shook his head.
She felt a little guilty.
Xiang Huai had sent her a text message yesterday, saying he was going to teach Qiao Xi a painful lesson and completely eliminate her for her. But Xu Xingluo didn't know he was going to use this method.
Qiao Xi is not dead.
That old woman is dead!
She was both panicked and regretful.
Why wasn’t Qiao Xi the one who died!
It was such a great opportunity, but I missed it!
"Are you sure you are not lying to me?" Xu Guangyao emphasized again.
"Dad, it really has nothing to do with me! How could I have the guts to do something like that? Didn't the news report it as an accident?"
Xu Guangyao retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, "You are being tactless and not considering the consequences. We can cover minor incidents, but please don't involve human lives."
"I know."
What Xiang Huai did had nothing to do with her.
She had just complained a few times and made a few hints.
Xu Xingluo bit her lip. Although Qiao Xi didn't lose everything this time, she was still in excruciating pain.
Plus that anonymous email from yesterday.
Perhaps she can achieve her goal...
"Okay, get out of the car. Don't act strangely in front of your mother. Since what happened last night didn't work out, try to keep it to a minimum."
So as not to make Huo Xingzhou angry!
However, Huo Xingzhou probably had no mood to deal with what happened at the celebration banquet at this moment.
"Um."
Xu Xingluo got out of the car obediently and followed Xu Guangyao to the living room.
But as soon as I reached the entrance, I heard a quarrel breaking out inside.
Xu Yunye was filthy and hadn't had time to clean himself. He asked, "Mom, what happened to Qiao Xi's clinic? Did you have anything to do with it? You said you wanted her clinic to close down. Did you do anything about it?"
Liu Huimin saw the news this morning: one person died and one was injured in the clinic.
She did not feel as happy as she had imagined, but instead felt depressed.
The old lady died, Qiao Xi must be very sad.
The last time the old lady came to Haicheng, she had indeed been in a car accident and had taken the victim to the hospital. However, seeing Xingluo so sad because of Qiao Xi, she pretended to be mysterious and made a series of threatening remarks.
I didn't expect my son to question me like this.
"Yun Ye, I didn't do anything." Liu Huimin looked at him angrily and said, "In your heart, is mom an unforgivable murderer and arsonist?"
She frowned and tried her best to speak.
"Yun Ye, I have nothing to do with the clinic fire! You're covered in wounds, can you clean yourself up first?"
Xu Yunye sneered, "You lost your rationality when you encountered Xu Xingluo. How do I know you really didn't do it?"
"The news reports all say that the fire was caused by the clinic's improper use of fire. Can it also be related to me?" Liu Huimin was helpless.
Xu Guangyao walked into the living room with a cold face and scolded, "What on earth did Qiao Xi feed you that made you talk to your mother so disrespectfully! Xu Yunye, you've disappointed us so much!"
"Second brother, why are you leaning so far outward?"
Xu Xingluo added insult to injury, "Are you in love with Qiao Xi?"
"You bastard!"
Xu Guangyao roared, not caring about right or wrong: "You embarrass me every day. Learn from your elder brother and sister and make a contribution to this family."
Xu Yunye's eyes were bloodshot, and he suppressed his anger as he spoke, "If you despise me so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place? This family is the same with or without me!"
He turned and stumbled out of the house.
The road was slippery due to the rain and he fell heavily on the stairs.
As he lay on the ground, he seemed to understand the situation Qiao Xi had been in. The villa was warm, clean and luxurious. He could hear the conversation inside, but no one came out to chase him.
His mother shouted, "Yun Ye, it's raining outside!"
His cold-blooded father said, "Don't bother with him. He will go home after suffering so much."
Xu Yunye covered his swollen and sore chest, and felt an impulse for no reason.
He wants to find Qiao Xi!
…
The sky is overcast.
In the evening, the sky was as dark as night, and the sky was shrouded in darkness.
The summer thunderstorm in Haicheng poured down, and the raindrops as big as beans hit the glass windows.
Dada.
The voice was rapid and heavy.
The rain is coming down hard and may continue until midnight.
Qiao Xi stood by the window, watching the heavy rain outside. Shu Xue knocked on the door and said, "I saw your husband went out to pick up the food. It was delivered by Jinling Hotel."
She was not on duty today and had specially switched shifts with someone else.
I want to stay and accompany Qiao Xi.
She hugged Qiao Xi, let her lean on her arms and comforted her, "Don't hold it in, cry if you want to. The dead cannot be resurrected, and grandma doesn't want you to be sad."
Qiao Xi has been very patient since she woke up.
She kept all her grievances and tears in her heart.
Shu Xue understood her self-blame.
She was clearly in the clinic last night, yet she let such a big accident happen to her grandma.
"Qiao Xi, I know there's no point in saying anything to you. When people encounter major setbacks, there are four stages." Her voice was gentle and healing. "Pain and regret, escaping reality, getting used to it, and finally accepting reality."
These all take time to heal.
Maybe a few months, maybe a few years.
Maybe a lifetime.
"You relied on your own efforts to walk from a small village to Haicheng, entered Haicheng Hospital, and then opened a clinic. You are the pride of Grandma Qiao, and she will always be watching over you in heaven."
Shu Xue patted her back gently, "Qiao Xi, don't be afraid."
Qiao Xi bit her lip, tears gathering in her eyes. She fiercely forced them back, insisting on being strong.
"Thank you...Shuxue."
"We are more than sisters. What is there to thank me for?"
Shu Xue said with a sob.
Knock knock.
The young nurse knocked on the door and said, "Doctor Qiao, here... there is a certificate that needs your signature."
She looked hesitant and a little reluctant.
Qiao Xi slowly walked to her side and took the paper.
When she saw the contents on the paper, her fingers trembled and she almost broke the edge of the paper.
