Chapter 557 Qiao Xi, I beg you
Xiang Tao seemed a little embarrassed and struggled for a long time before speaking again.
"If you get Qiao Xi's letter of forgiveness, you won't have to go to jail."
Xiang Mingzhu smiled bitterly: "Brother, are you kidding me? I have done so many bad things, how could Qiao Xi forgive me! She wants to kill me!"
"How do you know if you don't try? I've asked around, and I think you can give it a try."
Xiang Tao said calmly.
Xiang Mingzhu had suffered a series of setbacks and had come to realize her own mistakes. She said in a hoarse voice, "Qiao Xi will never forgive me. I hired someone to burn her hand. She wants me to go to jail the most."
Is her life really so bleak?
"Mingzhu, you can't go to jail. I will go to your house with you, and you must apologize sincerely."
Xiang Mingzhu nodded when she heard this: "As long as I don't go to jail, I'll do anything."
The person she hates more now is Lu Yingxue!
Qiao Xi and she actually had no conflict of interest. On the contrary, she had been a stepping stone for Lu Yingxue for so many years, wholeheartedly caring about the Lu family, but in the end, she was abandoned.
The man's betrayal made her even more desperate.
Compared with the grudges with Qiao Xi, these are nothing!
Why was Lu Yingxue able to marry Zhong Yi and receive sympathy and pity, and why did so many people say that her medical skills were no worse than Qiao Xi's?
Just because of the evil girl Xiang Mingzhu!
Xiang Mingzhu sniffed and felt aggrieved.
Why should she bear all the blame alone?
Lu Yingxue is a pure and otherworldly fairy. They have no idea what a profit-seeking and vicious heart Lu Yingxue has.
Xiang Tao sighed and said, "It's good that you have such awareness! Don't worry, as long as the Huo family's conditions are not particularly outrageous, I will help you."
"Brother, I hate Lu Yingxue!"
Xiang Mingzhu's eyes were red and she said this with trembling voice.
Xiang Tao patted her shoulder gently. "From childhood to adulthood, when have the four of us siblings ever been able to defeat her? Perhaps in father's heart, she is the most promising and ambitious one. Now that your case is solved, you can live your life in peace and stop competing with her."
She couldn't swallow this.
Even if she couldn't get the position of Mrs. Zhong, she didn't want Lu Yingxue to have an easy time.
"Let's go to the Huo family's garden villa now."
…
An hour later.
In the living room of the Huo family villa.
In front of the large French window, a small table covered in cashmere blankets was filled with fruit plates and snacks. There was also a pot of boiling hot tea. The dry weather in this season was accompanied by a slight breeze, making it the perfect place for a relaxing afternoon of tea and snacks.
Sun Weimeng sobered up, sat lazily on the ground with his red and swollen eyes, leaning on a big pillow and drowsy.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou sat on the edge, the sunlight slanting down like a soft filter. Qiao Xi reached out and peeled back the gauze circle by circle, while Huo Xingzhou carefully sprinkled the powder on her arm.
Her wound needed dressing changes twice a day, and today it was noticeably better. She wasn't in as much pain, but the wound looked hideous.
Young Master Sun looked at her right hand, which was covered in blood and blisters, and said, "Such a serious burn like yours really won't leave a scar. My mother has been talking about her cesarean scar for over 20 years. Women seem to be very concerned about scars."
His tone was filled with regret and a hint of hatred. "It's all that evil woman Xiang Mingzhu's fault. If I see her, I'll definitely beat her up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyuan came over and said, "Master, Madam, the family came to visit and said they wanted to see you two."
Huo Xingzhou raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Sun Weimeng with a hint of mockery, "He came to your door, are you going to fight him?"
Sun Weimeng said weakly, "How do you know that the Xiang family member must be Xiang Mingzhu? You are not a fortune teller."
He suddenly remembered that Huo Xingzhou had casually mentioned in the afternoon that he wanted to bask in the sun here and wait for customers to come, and he immediately took a breath.
"Huo Er, did you know that the Xiang family would come to your house?"
Huo Xingzhou's handsome face was tinged with indifference, his eyes as dark as ink. "Now that the bait has been put out, we need to catch the fish. Judging from the current situation, Xiang Hai's health is not good. So, it's just right... except for him, everyone else in the Xiang family is a fool."
If Xiang Hai was awake, he would know this was a trap!
They actually came to my door to be slaughtered!
Tsk tsk.
Sun Weimeng looked at him and said, "The Xiang family is so unlucky to have met you. Is Xiang Mingzhu really here?"
Xiao Yuan, who was waiting nearby, said, "It was indeed her. There was also a man who said he was her elder brother."
A hint of surprise flashed across Qiao Xi's eyes, and she looked at Huo Xingzhou.
It was just as he guessed!
Huo Xingzhou tucked her loose hair behind her ear and said, "Try the negotiation skills I taught you. People's hearts are actually very easy to control."
Qiao Xi hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Sun Weimeng looked at their glaring eyes and asked unhappily, "What are you talking about again?"
Huo Xingzhou didn't explain to him, but instead ordered in a deep voice: "Xiao Yuan, go and invite them in."
"Yes, Master."
Xiaoyuan invited the brother and sister into the Huo family villa.
As Xiang Mingzhu entered the room, she knelt down in front of Qiao Xi with a haggard face.
With a bang.
The knee hit the ground loudly.
Xiang Mingzhu's face was twisted with pain. She looked at Qiao Xi with tears in her eyes and said, "Qiao Xi, please forgive me for what I did. I know I was wrong, and I sincerely apologize. No matter what conditions you offer, I will do my best to meet them. I don't want to have a criminal record at such a young age. Many of the things I did were instigated by Lu Yingxue."
"She's been hinting that I can't let the Cheng family's acupuncture technique flourish, and that I have to make you suffer. Cheng Han is already old, and if we get rid of you, there will be no one left to threaten the Lu family. That's why I ran to Haicheng to participate in the primary election, just to make you lose."
"She's been taking advantage of me and has taken the man I love away from me."
Xiang Mingzhu's eyes were filled with resentment. "Qiao Xi, as long as you promise to let me go this time, I will never go against you again. You hate Lu Yingxue too, right? We can still be best allies! I know a lot about Lu Yingxue, and we can deal with her together!"
She was emotional, looking at the expressionless Qiao Xi and said, "Your grandmother's death was caused by Lu Yingxue's instigation to Xiang Huai! It's just that we didn't keep any evidence, and that idiot Xiang Huai also admitted the crime! We are all just pawns in Lu Yingxue's hands!"
He kowtowed to Mingzhu several times: "Qiao Xi, can you please forgive me? I beg you! I can't go to jail!"
It can be seen that Xiang Mingzhu's hatred for Lu Yingxue has surpassed her dignity in Qiao Xi.
Xiang Tao couldn't bear it any longer, so he said, "Ms. Qiao, there were indeed many misunderstandings between our two families before. Since Mingzhu has admitted her mistakes, can you give her another chance to reform? As long as you go to the police station and write a letter of apology, Mingzhu can avoid going to jail."
Qiao Xi's almond-shaped eyes were cold, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.
Sun Weimeng stamped his feet anxiously: "Qiao Xi, we can't let her go!"
Qiao Xi thought about what Huo Xingzhou had said to her in advance. She looked at the Xiang brothers and sisters and said, "I can write a letter of understanding, but there is one condition."
