Chapter 377 Huo Xingzhou, You Are So Cruel
The strong and pungent liquid splashed out.
Huo Xingzhou turned sideways and held Qiao Xi in his arms, but Liu Huimin was faster. She stood in front of Xu Xingluo to block most of the liquid, and she stumbled and fell on the deck, scraping a large piece of skin on her knee, which was seeping with bright red blood.
Liu Huimin cried out in pain.
But the liquid that fell on his body did not cause any pain, only a strong pungent smell.
Still in shock.
Xu Xingluo had been controlled by the bodyguards. She struggled and stared at Qiao Xi and Liu Huimin in disbelief.
"impossible!"
"how so?"
Her voice was hoarse, as if it had been rubbed by rough gravel, and it was hard to hear. Her throat was almost filled with the taste of blood, and her eyes were almost popping out.
"That can't be true! I clearly brought concentrated sulfuric acid, so how come you're all fine?"
Normal concentrated sulfuric acid would corrode clothing and skin immediately upon contact, even emitting an unpleasant burning smell. However, the substance she poured only wet Liu Huimin and Huo Xingzhou's clothes, leaving their skin unscathed.
how so?
Xu Xingluo lowered his head and smelled the glass bottle, and even touched it with his hand, but there was no damage at all.
This is not concentrated sulfuric acid!
It's vinegar!
The smell of highly concentrated vinegar was also quite pungent, and everyone was too panicked to recognize it at first.
Now calm down and react.
It turned out that the so-called sulfuric acid bottle actually contained extremely concentrated vinegar. The pungent sour smell was so real that Xu Xingluo was almost fooled.
Qiao Xi raised her head from Huo Xingzhou's arms, and things were exactly as she had guessed.
Xu Xingluo's concentrated sulfuric acid was tampered with.
She said, how could Huo Xingzhou allow such a big mistake to happen at the Huo family's banquet? It turned out that he had prepared for it in advance.
This is to catch the big fish Xu Xingluo.
Xu Xingluo's hair was disheveled and her face was dejected: "Huo Xingzhou, you already knew what I was going to do. You exchanged my things, right?"
Huo Xingzhou looked at her calmly. "You were once a famous lady in Haicheng, the daughter of the Liu family, highly educated, and a victim of a fake daughter swap. If you had confessed Xu Guangyao's crimes immediately, instead of shielding and condoning him as an accomplice, I don't think you would have ended up like this. The Liu family would have treated you well..."
He was telling the truth.
Xu Xingluo burst into tears and said, "You said a few light words, so simply! But do you understand the feeling of falling from the clouds to the muddy ground? Why do you..."
“He understands!”
Qiao Xi spoke loudly, looking at Xu Xingluo coldly and said, "He understands better than anyone! When he was in a car accident and became a waste, trampled on and abandoned by you, his pain was no less than yours! Do you think everyone has wronged you, so you have to destroy the whole world? But no one has wronged you, and you were happy enough in the past."
Qiao Xi felt sorry for Huo Xingzhou, and hated Xu Xingluo's face even more.
Huo Xingzhou held her hand tightly and said in a cold voice, "Zhou Yu, take her away first. Don't let her go crazy here and disturb everyone's fun."
"Okay."
Zhou Yu called the bodyguards and dragged Xu Xingluo away. He would probably interrogate her thoroughly.
"Huo Xingzhou! Is your heart made of stone? Huo Xingzhou!" Xu Xingluo screamed loudly.
Zhou Yu casually picked up a rag and stuffed it into her mouth, blocking her voice.
"Behave yourself, or you'll be in trouble. The mental hospital has good food and drink, can't you just let it go? Why do you have to come out and cause trouble? Xu Xingluo, this is your last chance."
Two bodyguards dragged Xu Xingluo away, and the fireworks on the deck also ended.
…
"Excuse me, everyone. Please move to the banquet hall to enjoy the food and wine." Huo Xingzhou looked at all the guests and said, "I need to change my clothes first. Excuse me."
"Mr. Huo, you're too polite. It's all the fault of that spoiler."
"Today was a close call. It was a special experience, hahaha..."
They were all sensible people, and they all led their female companions back to the banquet hall.
The band in the banquet hall played dance music, and many people danced together. There were also groups of three or five people gathered together to eat snacks and chat. The topic of conversation was all about the secret of Xu Xingluo's life, and they were full of emotion.
And on the deck.
The fireworks in the sky have ended.
The lighthouse in the distance was dazzling, and the rows of lights on the deck shone on the Huo and Liu families. Du Juan and Yang Yuerong helped Liu Huimin up, looked at the dirt and wounds on her body and said, "Why don't you go back to the lounge to change clothes? I happen to have a spare set."
Liu Huimin's hair was messed up and she shook her head with tears on her face.
"fine."
Du Juan said, "Your leg injury also needs to be treated. It's quite large."
The deck was rough, so how could such rapid friction be a minor injury? Du Juan lifted her skirt slightly and saw that her knee was bloody and the fabric was torn.
Obviously he was hurt from the fall.
Du Juan felt complicated and said, "Why did you go and block it? Xingzhou said something like that and it provoked her. There must be a trick up her sleeve. This cruise ship belongs to the Huo family. How could Xu Xingluo bring concentrated sulfuric acid on board?"
They didn't react at first, but gradually they came to their senses.
Liu Huimin burst into tears, looking at Qiao Xi with hazy eyes: "I didn't think too much about it. Fortunately, it wasn't concentrated sulfuric acid."
She would not regret it even if concentrated sulfuric acid was poured on her.
This is what she owes Qiao Xi.
As a mother, she should protect her child.
Even if it was concentrated sulfuric acid, what did it matter? She had done so many wrong things that she deserved to be disfigured and burned. If I could get a little bit of the child's love in return, I would be satisfied.
"Yes, fortunately it's not concentrated sulfuric acid."
Yang Yuerong held the child and whispered, "I was terrified. I was thinking about how to deal with Huimin if so much concentrated sulfuric acid was poured on her. She has always been spoiled and pampered. I never thought she would run away."
She said this to improve Liu Huimin's favorability.
I hope the Huo family won’t be so hostile towards her.
"What mother doesn't truly love her children? Sometimes, she's biased and unreasonably partial. It's this love that's exploited by evil people that leads to repeated mistakes."
Yang Yuerong stopped there.
Qiao Xi heard her words, her hands dropped to her sides, and she said in a very calm tone: "Mom, Jiaojiao. Xingzhou and I will go upstairs to change clothes first. The party is still going on."
She had some doubts that needed Huo Xingzhou to clarify.
Du Juan nodded: "Okay, then go slowly."
"knew."
Qiao Xi took Huo Xingzhou's arm, paused, and said, "Mom, Ms. Liu is also a guest of the Huo family. Please take her upstairs to change clothes and treat her wounds, so that outsiders won't say that our Huo family is not hospitable enough."
A surge of joy filled the hearts of the Liu family, especially Liu Huimin, who was smiling even with tears on her face.
"Why."
Dujuan responded.
The child is a good child with a soft heart. It's a pity that he was hurt too deeply by the Liu family.
She watched Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou walk away, then deliberately put on a stern face and said to Liu Huimin, "Our Xixi is very kind to cats and dogs. If anyone else was injured on our Huo family's territory, she would do the same. Don't be so self-indulgent."
Liu Huimin pretended not to hear Du Juan's words, and believed that Qiao Xi's attitude had softened and that he had changed his opinion of her.
"She's a good child, but I'm not a good mother. I will definitely work hard to be a good mother. Yun Ye, can you accompany me to change the dressing?"
"Um."
Xu Yunye's expression was cool and a little aloof. Lately, Liu Huimin had been cooking delicious meals for him at home in various ways, and he hadn't complained as much about her.
The Huo family took the Liu family upstairs.
The deck became quiet, with lights flickering.
Zhong Yi leaned on the railing, with the corners of his mouth curled up for some inexplicable reason.
His eyebrows and eyes were bright and he glanced at Mingzhu nonchalantly and said, "You look unhappy. Are you unhappy about something?"
When he is unhappy, he makes trouble for others.
